"Analysis of freudian excuse suggests your troubles are not to be blamed on Luke Mckenzie, but on the conflict between you. There is no reason you should not be able to get along, and there appears to be no reason past your personal conflict to people to have thrown one of you to the wolves in favor of the other."

Titan sighssss.

[JollyGent]

"I..its...tch." Lorenzo doesn't have anything to say. Instead, he creates a shadow ring, and puts it on Luke.

"When detecting magic energy of Mckenzie bloodline, that should make me teleport to where you are. Don't misunderstand, I just don't want a half blooded freak like you being defeated with the name of the Mckenzie clan."

Lorenzo looks away from Luke.

Luke smiles.

"Thanks. Brother."

[Twi]

"You still haven't even tsundericiously refused to apologize to Sarah and I, by the way. I'm still waiting on that apology."

[JollyGent]

"Hmph."

Lorenzo walks away.

[Twi]

Well, they're still being detained together, there aren't many places to walk to
In any event, the gubb'mint will give Lorenzo a hefty fine and remove the binding magic at some point, while Titan faces overnight detainment and a very stern scolding from mom. He may get drafted for community service. Speaking of community service, Ori and Dany each end up with two months of it. Let's look at that for Dany...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cons:
-He doesn't get much free time.
-He often has to deal with mountains of red tape.
-He doesn't really get to pick what jobs he does.
-Occasionally the jobs get dangerous.
-He still has to pay for the stuff he stole.
- He's never going to live the incubus thing down. Ever.
- He's rather sore half the time.

Pros:

- He gets to wear a spiffy uniform.
-What free time he gets is remarkably free, though he does have a probation officer of sorts.
-He gets three square meals a day and a fairly significant salary (though most of it goes towards repaying his debts at first).
-His other hunger is sated. Let's just leave it at that.
- Given his skills, most of the jobs he does aren't so dangerous. When they do get dicey, he has other people to take care of it!
-Since his jobs are mostly intrigue stuff, he often finds himself working with Ori.
-Ori looks amazing in uniform.
-Ori flirts with him. Though she also flirts with everyone else.
- If his jobs turn rough, he often gets to see Ori kicking ass and taking names.
- He gets help with that illiteracy thing. Needs to, cuz of that red tape business.
- For a convicted criminal, he's pretty well respected, and could even take this job voluntarily once he gets done with this sentence.

Well, I am imagining they're being detained in like a room where the doors are locked. Thus Lorenzo can walk away from Titan since there is an abundant amount of empty space.

[Twi]

Fair enough. Anyways, see above, describe Lorenzo's reaction to it.

[JollyGent]

"I have not got a cent. Pay. Half blooded freak." Lorenzo asks assertively.

"I do have a lot of money yes. But I will only pay if you promise to give them an apology."

".....Fine." Lorenzo snaps coldly.

suprisingly, the bind was removed rather easily, and Lorenzo didn't seem to care about the bind.

Is there anything that Luke has to do?

[Twi]

Nope. He didn't do anything unlawful, after all. They do ask him (sternly) to get his brother out of trouble and give him a damn job, though.

[JollyGent]

Luke apologises, and heads to club 404 to meet Marie with his brother.

[Twi]

Marie is there. "Yo, Luke! I'm on a bit of a break before I do the next mountain of paperwork. I see you brought your brother, so I assume this is important. What is it?"

[JollyGent]

"Introduce yourself brother."

"Be honoured to meet me woma-"

Lorenzo feels a strong glare from Luke. Lorenzo knew that this place was different from where he came in, and that he needed to adapt to the environment as Luke told him.

"Lorenzo Mckenzie. I need to find a job."  Lorenzo says somewhat coldly.

"Haha, you see, since you can do anything, Marie-san, I suppose you could help him out you see. I kinda helped you in the trial by shaking the juries and audiences even if it was for a few moments didn't I? Please?"
Luke does puppy eyes.

[Twi]

"-san? Neither of us are Japanese...anyways. My name is Marie Hel. I am a sentient nightmare. Formerly a professional psychologist on pain of death. Currently still a psychologist, but also the owner of this, Club 404. Like the architecture? This corner was four-dimensional anyways, so it was just perfect for me. Anyways, you didn't help THAT much Luke, but it doesn't matter, I'm willing to give him a shot. You see, I had to grease a lot of palms to get the sentences of that trial to go how I wanted them to. And by 'grease palms'' I mean 'promise about five different people to do their paperwork for the next week or so'. Not to mention we no longer have Ori.... we're hiring. We already have three DJs and two bartenders... Assuming you can be halfway personable, you'd do as a bartender."

[JollyGent]

"This is your chance. Do NOT mess up." Luke whispers to Lorenzo. Lorenzo simply nods.

"Hmph. Serving beverages. That I can manage." Lorenzo says confidently.

Luke sighs.

"I am worried out of my mind..." Luke does a facepalm. Lorenzo was a noble. Of course he would not know how to serve beverages. Is there anything he could do to make Lorenzo be good at it? Lorenzo draws a figure in his sketchbook, and hands it to Lorenzo.

"I think that a noble like you shouldn't waste your hands. Instead, if you activate this, this shall do the work for you, brother. You don't have to put filth on your noble hands." The figure that was drawn on the sketchbook, if activated, switches persona with a bloodline relative in their consent. Luke was going to do the dirty work for Lorenzo to put him away from trouble. Of course, the whole talk about 'not dirtying the hands of a noble' is just to get him to use it on his ego.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Cheru scoffs at Lorenzo and resists the temptation to throw a dirty rag at him.
Speaking of which, Gaston be competently mixing beverages.
