The sounds of hammer pounding echoed all over the apartment complex. The source of those hammers? Wario, pounding in a few advertisements for his new treasure hunting schtick. The advertisement posters made sure to tell anyone that saw them who to call, how to call, and that everyone helping out was getting a slice of the pie- cutting it "50-50" said the signs.
"That oughtta do it," he huffed. "Now, for the rest o' the city..." Before he walked off much further, he turned around. The apartment complex seemed like a good place to stay during this whole charade... buuuut...
"Pff. I don't got the time to laze around while there's treasure to be got," he grumbled, going on his way.

Besides being tired and lost, Luka had managed to walk into the complex. A few crudely hung flyers caught her attention. "Treasure? Maybe I could be helpful to the idiot that's advertising," Luka muttered under her breath before pulling one flyer down and going to track down the owner of the flyer. "Then again not many people smell like garlic."

In the area, there was also someone tired, but definitely not lost. The young mailman, otherwise known as Toby, was going on his daily route, and next was the big Apartment Complex. Yay, air conditioning. Tons... and tons of stairs, but yay air conditioning. Toby was not in the most enthusiastic mood. So he headed inside, thinking to himself, 'the faster to deliver this mail, the faster this'll be over'. In his rush to head inside, he nearly tripped over some girl he'd never seen before. Strange, usually he would know everyone- oh, that's right, he wasn't in lesser Detroit anymore. "Um, sorry," he blushed. "H-hi. I'm Toby. Uh, who are you. Sorry."

"Luka," Luka offered to the new person that had nearly tripped over her. "You work around town?" she added as she tucked the flyer away.

"O-h. Hi Luka, I'm Toby. I said that. Sorry." He cleared his throat. "For tripping over you. Sorry." Wow, you are /classy/. Great first impression, you sure know how to charm 'em, Toby. "I'm uh, a mailman. The mailman. One of the mailmen. I carry mail." You really suck at this. Stop talking, stop- "So, uh, what brings you here? I mean, you probably live here, hahaha. Unless you don't. Uh..." Good going, man. You're a shining star of socialization.

"To tell the truth I just got here. Don't live here yet," Luka answered. "You're not used to talking to women are you?"

"Oh! Uh, me too. I sleep in the postal office..." You realize that Luka looks like Martha, just a bit, if Martha's hair was straight. You really miss Martha. "Wh- no, I... talk to women! All... all the time! Yesterday, I asked Ms. DeKeratry if... I could pet... her dog...," you cough. You are pathetic.

Luka raised an eyebrow. This was certainly an interesting guy and he kinda reminded her of two of her crew and team mates, Gai and Don. "You sleep at the post office?" she asked calmly before sighing. "But I'm guessing that's better than sleeping in the crow's nest." Luka had done this a few time on accident.

"Yeah, at the... post office... it's ok, the guys are cool with it. And Mary." You... don't really know Mary, so you try to use a tone of voice that suggests that. "Crow's... nest? OH, boat. You live on a boat? Are you a pirate. Are you one of those Sumerian ones, because I don't have any money, and I'm not valuable!" The most mature person in this room, it is you. "Oops, sorry. Kidding. I'm kidding." You hold out your wrists with a wry grin. "Go ahead."

"I'm some what a pirate. and no it's more like space pirate. Well against the Zangyack Empire," Luka replied with a huff. "And I can tell you're not worth much. Post men are plentiful and you have anything hardly worth stealing."
Now do I shoot or hit him to get the jokes to stop? Luka mentally asked herself. Hit. Shooting would attract too much attention.
A single sabre appeared in her hand before hitting Toby in the head with the flat of the blade.

"Zangyack- HEY OW!" You take a defensive stance and cover your head with your arms. "Woah, ok, it's cool, you aren't a pirate, whatever just- don't stab me!" Terror. Terror and fear-for-your-life is what you're feeling right now. It was just a joke, honestly! This new girl sure had a temper.

"Just don't tell terrible jokes and I won't hit you. Fair?" Luka offered with a smirk. "And I am actually a pirate. Just a little more tech inclined than the ones you've read about."
Her smirk was more friendly than threatening. She knew Marvelous was going to get after her for hitting a civilian even out of her ranger state.

Unaware of the mish-mash going on, Wario yawned. "...Maybe I can just go in and ask where a hotel is- I could use the sleep..."
Of course, the closer he got, the more of the fighting he heard. When he finally stepped in, he just grimaced. "...I'm not asking," he grumbled, moving over to the help station.

Luka raised an eye brow to what Wario had said. "What do you mean?" she asked.
She still offered her hand to Toby. "I'm not going to bite unless you bite first," she offered.

"Uh," you mumble. Who is this guy? He just walks up to you and then decides, 'No, nevermind'? You're not gonna pick a fight about it, but that little purple guy sure is weird. Wonder what he wants. He looks kinda Italian, in a short, big-nosed way. Then that Luka girl offers you her hand. At first you look at her confusedly. Does she... want to hold your hand? Oh. Um... You take her wrist instead. It's not your fault that you're socially inept and this could be construed as a form of idiocy. Well, maybe it's your fault, but what's done is done. "No biting, sure. I don't. Bite. Not physically I mean- shutting up, sorry."
