[So Luke had plenty of questions to ask the network upon his arrival - questions like where is Death City? What exactly are Weapons and Meisters and what did they do? Why does that sun have a face? How did they end up here in the first place? You know, your usual "where am I, what is this" kind of questions that are bound to pop up when you randomly end up in a whole different world.

Luke was told that here he was a Weapon. Which was silly, because he was a gentleman, not a weapon. That didn't even make the slightest bit of sense. And even if he were - what exactly could he do? He wasn't really that strong...

He at least answers that last question the morning following his arrival, when he discovers his new Weapon form by accident - a boomerang, to be more specific. And the moment he does discover this new power, all previous questions he had are immediately forgotten as he picks up the communicator in a panic.]

H-help! I think I need a doctor!! Something's gone terribly wrong - I can turn myself into an inanimate object!

D-don't laugh, this is serious! How can I be fine?!

It's just an affect of this world; it's not an illness or anything, hehehe. You're probably a Weapon, right? If you are, that's supposed to happen.

Er, well I was told I was a Weapon but...I didn't think they meant it literally!

Yep! They meant literally. You can turn into an actual of weapon.

Sooooo... what d'ya' turn into?

Well um...

...a boomerang.

Ooh! That's neat!

Have you tried throwing yourself yet? [It was probably impossible, but it was sort of funny imagining a young boy trying to do that.]

I-I don't think I can. I'm not even sure how I did it...

Hehehe. Well, after you figure out how you changed, you should try it! It'll probably be fun—flying through the air! In fact, you should let me know, and I'll come over to help you! [Well, he mostly just wanted to watch the kid try and throw himself, but he also would not mind actually helping.]

The name's Hughes, by the way. Maes Hughes. What's your name, kiddo?

...I guess it would be kind of fun.

[Now that he's calmed down and properly made a fool of himself over the network.]

Oh right! Um, my name's Luke Triton. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Hughes!

You've never wondered what it's like to fly before? Hehe. I thought all kids wondered that at some point.

Well, it's nice to meet you too, Luke! And just Hughes is fine, haha.

Of course I've wondered! But um, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. I guess if I could figure out how to do it again it'd be interesting to see what happens.

All right, Hughes it is then!

But it's still better than never getting the chance to, right? [Hell, Hughes was fairly curious himself!] I'd help you figure it out if I could, except I have no idea myself either, haha! Sorry.

Oh, well thanks anyway, Hughes. If I figure it out I'll let you know how the whole flying thing goes...

Okie-doke! I'll be waiting! [Even though it is audio, anyone can tell that he is grinning like an idiot from the way he is talking.]

See ya' later then, Luke!
