#this makes 0.5 sense but do you understand. i need random stellis citizens to think luke is a FREAK

[actualbird]

luke pearce is so precious and dear to me but i also think that the game is missing out on the endless entertaining possibilities that open up if they made it so that other regular people find him Weird. like, Strange and Offputting. yes, hes a sunshine boy at first glance, but given the Agent Raven lurking deep within his soul and the fact that i wholeheartedly believe that hes Killed People, it endlessly delights me to imagine other people going "what a lovely young man! however, there is something Deeply Wrong With Him that i cant put my finger on." like, when he smiles, it's so warm and it's so friendly but also on the edge of being dangerous, and it gives people the absolute heebie jeebies. people who go to the antique shop are equal parts charmed and scared, but they cant figure out why. theres just something About Him that screams that he's stared into the abyss and fist fought it and Won. i want some of luke's neighbors to be like "ah right, detective pearce! wonderful fellow, he helped fix my computer but also i wanted him out of my house as soon as possible." and luke is completely oblivious to this. he just assumes people are busy and need to shoo him out real quick. but they know. they may not know the details, but Intuitively, They Know.

random neighbor: hey, thanks for restoring my kitchen knives, i thought i was gonna have to buy a whole new set!

luke, holding knife and smiling: no worries! it's important to keep knives well-maintained so they can keep up with slicing through flesh and bone :D

random neighbor: aha. why am i afraid all of a sudden

luke: huh?
