[Luciano Ascencio continued from Bloody Palms] Luciano had taken to the back of the group; Originally striding, he decided it'd be better if he didn't establish himself as the leader of their trio, for both safety and to avoid drawing attention to himself as a major player, and hung back behind Amy ...

Why couldn't he have had RJ? RJ would've been so much better to have on Luciano's team than Amy, but you win some and you lose some. Luciano shook his head, and attempted to consider the situation fully. He hadn't visibly reacted when Amy had sharply shot down his idea, but he could tell from the wa...

Silence. Luciano had expected Amy to at least say something, had lingered around slightly longer than was natural by slowing his walk, but she'd remained silent. Was she worried to say her goal out loud? That would change things. If true, it would honestly be advantageous - Any teammates reluctant t...

Distrusting. Luciano's eyes traced Amy's, attempting to determine her thoughts from her expression. It was distrusting. She was a reserved person, so it was more difficult to scan her face; still, two things seemed obvious. Firstly, she appeared to trust RJ, at least to some extent - She didn't nece...

Left. Right. Left. Luciano concentrated on each step he took, attempting to clearly portray his pretenense of fatigue and unease. Methodically, Luciano ensured his alleged headache would appear as legitimate as he could as he slowly, steadily walked towards Amy and RJ. Left. Right. Left. Judging fro...

Ouch. Concentrating so much on faking a headache seemed like it'd actual given him one, or at least the growing pain in his head simulated it. Luciano hated the placebo effect. It made no logical sense; If your cognition controls your physiological functions, who's to say our biological bodies are e...

Huh. There was no gunshot. No scream. No sound of a knife tearing through flesh. No gunshot. Luciano thought about that for a second - If there was no gunshot, both of them must still be alive. Like he thought. So, why was he surprised? Maybe neither of them had a weapon. From what he gathered throu...

They were both alive. Luciano wasn't surprised, but he felt reassured. Neither Amy nor RJ struck him as particularly violent types, and Luciano couldn't think of anything about them which would make them violent. He might be wrong. As harsh as it sounded, if he was wrong, then at least survival woul...

Thanks so much to everyone who sent PMs!

Kidnapped. From class. How ironic. [JL02: Luciano 'Space Cadet' Ascencio - Start] Why study? It's a question he'd thought about a lot, especially when he was younger, but it's not a difficult question to answer. People study for three reasons, at least the way he saw it. At the lowest level, people ...

Like it says in the title, Luciano 'Space Cadet' Ascencio has a personality built to some extent on learning and keeping secrets. Since he's often assumed to be fazed out or inattentive, people have gradually got used to him being a background figure and thus been more likely to slip out secrets (al...

Edited! Thanks so much!

Luciano Ascencio is not your typical loner. Although he rarely talks, with the few things he does say often dry or obvious, he is often hanging around popular locations. Still, his headphones will be in and his hood will be up, so most people don't take much of a notice or interest in him. That bei...

If possible, I think Luciano 'Space Cadet' Valerio would rock an Astronaut costume.
