What a slow and quiet day. Luke found himself lounging in his office chair, covering his mouth as he let out a bear sized yawn. God I'm bored.. Luke groaned mentally, staring up at the tiled ceiling as he pondered over whether or not he should count all the little black dots. "Let's look at porn then." Oh goodie. Jäger was awake. Luke thought that, just maybe, today of all days he wouldn't be hearing that entities voice in his head since he'd been...oddly quiet today. "Oh goodie you're still here. Here I was thinking I'd have a fuckin' break from you today. And no, not doing that." Luke responded back, frowning as he began to scratch the side of his head. "Oh yeah my bad buddy. I've been busy installing a skeeball machine in here. It can just get so boring at times." Luke snapped straight up. What do you mean a sk---I almost fell for that.. And as if on cue Luke could have heard the sound of a ball rolling and bouncing around. "Almost fell for what?" Luke groaned.
"But for real. Throw something raunchy and rowdy up on that screen. My votes for interracial farting!" Jäger chuckled, being as crass as he usually was. Luke just groaned, rubbing his eyes as he shook his head. No you stupid fuck. I'll get fired for just...NO! Fucking hell I don't even think I can look at p-- Luke froze as a realization came to his head which was then drowned out by the tsunami of laughter coming from Jäger. "That's right! I'm going to be in your head all the time! AAHAHAHAHAAAGH!" Luke just groaned louder as he leaned forward on his hands. "Luke." "God I fucking hate you.." "What did you say?"
Luke suddenly sat his head up to find that his office door had been opened, and staring right at his assistant manager (the guy right above him) staring at him with a shocked look on his face. "oooooooooooh you're in trooooouble~" "Sorry, I didn't mean you. I meant the paperwork...just thinking out loud again." Luke explained with a embarrassed smile painted on his features. His manager looked like he didn't believe Luke, but just shrugged. "Yeah the paperwork can be shit sometimes bud. Just try to keep the language under control, okay?" He said with a wink, making Luke shake his head and smirk. "So....do you feel like doing something different?" Luke raised his head and raised an eyebrow. "Hell yeah what do you need?"
They found themselves out in the back of the store, walking alongside a truck. "So, I'm certain you were paying attention during the manager mission but today's the day we're helping out with Karakura Academy." Luke blinked. "...why?" "Think of it as a food drive. We deliver some fresh produce, meats, milk to help the school out ." His manager explained. Luke shrugged, not seeing any problem with it. "And that includes me how?" Luke asked, turning his gaze to the employees loading up the truck with some tomatoes. "Why don't you go and help out? Get you out of the office for a bit, must be stuffy in there. Plus you'll get blood clots if you sit all the time." Luke frowned. He was going to go to a high school and help deliver food? "...eh fuck it, sure."
Holy shit when was the last time Luke was at a high school? Why where there so many students? The truck had to wait like six freaking hours (five minutes) to get through the traffic delivering children. The drive over wasn't really eventful. He made small talk with the driver, since it was someone he used to work with back when he worked in stocking. He made sure to watch his language, and Jäger continued to make stupid jokes while...apparently...somehow...playing skee ball in his fucking head. The job was, really, easy enough. Just drive up, drop off boxed, unload them into the kitchen and...well that was it. Luke was beyond strong and fit enough to handle it, and was even impressing some of his peers with how many boxes he was lifting without issue. Someone even asked if he'd been working out lately. Again...a really easy side task that maybe took an hour and a half to get done.
As he worked Luke's sixth sense kept picking something up. It was never really one thing, but it was always multiple signals that seemed to be the strongest when classes ended and the halls were flooded with teenagers. While Luke never saw any students while he worked he could certainly hear them going through the halls. What he picked up were small blips of energy, sort of like fireflies in a storm of gnats. Nothing ever really impressive or worrisome. Luke knew that living in Karakura must have produced some oddball youngsters. It was happening to him every now and again wasn't it? But there was...something...he kept picking up when the halls were full. He could never zone in on it for long enough as he worked. One second it was there then the next it wasn't. It felt different than the other signals he felt. Like a opossum in a group of raccoons sort of different. He wondered a few times what it was. It certainly wasn't a Hollow. It just...felt strange. But Luke didn't worry.
"Alright, all done. Thanks for your help guys, how's about I cook you up something for your trouble? It's almost lunch time after all!" the school chef laughed. The grocery store workers, all being hungry, loved the idea of free lunch even if it was highschool cafeteria cooking. For all they knew it could be good. Luke agreed to the idea, but needed to do something before he ate. "Be right back guys. I gotta piss something fierce." He explained as he excused himself, getting some playful teasing from his coworkers. Wasn't hard finding a bathroom in empty highschool halls. Walking along the lockers and doors brought back some memories of his days in highschool back in the states. He fucking hated it. All the fights he got in, all the detentions. He really came off as a delinquent despite having decent grades. It's a shame he never went to college. Might have found a better job than the one he had.
Washing his hands once done with his business, Luke let out a sigh as he stretched a sourness out of his shoulder. "What's the age of consent in Japan again?" Nope. Not responding to that one. "Luke I'm sure if you just tried you could get yourself a hot asian girlfriend...much younger than you! You like them young don't you?" Have I told you I hate you? "I look at it more as your way of saying you love me! I love you too Lukykins" Did this thing not have a off button? With a groan he stepped out of the restroom and began to make his way back to the cafeteria when he passed by the gymnasium. He wasn't sure what made him turn and look inside, and he wasn't sure what made him want to step into the empty gym and pick up a basketball just sitting on the bleachers. But, hell, Luke did like shooting some hoops back when he was younger. He wondered if he still had it in him.
Wasn't a bad way to pass the time, and if anyone questioned him he needed only explain that he was actually with the grocery delivery and just saw the gym empty and saw a ball lying around. Shouldn't be a big deal right? Though being distracted with shooting some hoops had caused him to ignore his sixth sense from picking up on something.
