[well mineo is stuck in this ariana grande outfit and probably has very cute axolotl antenna on his headband - but more than that, he's. well. he's not responding to this sudden change in scenery very well! so i do apologize to luca, who is probably the closest person to mineo when they stumble out of the elevator.
because when he's bumped into, he immediately reaches out like he's being attacked, and on instinct moves to twist luca's arm behind his back as he snarls with the ferocity of someone who definitely isn't watching his own strength]
Watch it!!
[see maple it's nothing too bad]

[How horrible.
Luca is a twink and has no strength and is easily caught. All he wanted to do was escape to find something better to wear and now he's being grabbed.]
Watch it- You're the one who ran into me! Let go!
[He is absolutely struggling, but again. Twink.]

Luca! Luca Valentino! And I don't know where we are! Now will you please let go of me? I don't know any more about this place than you do!
[He's shouting because he's mad at getting grabbed like that. Being manhandled is only fun if it's not unexpected.]

[Luca is valid - but there's something that totally throws Mineo off enough to actually get a little closer to calming down.]
—Valentino?
[huh. that's not even remotely Japanese. and it's why Mineo's hold all but disappears, letting him go as he actually - looks at this guy that bumped into him? everyone's discombobulated and dressed like Ariana Grande and that is slowly, steadily, finally beginning to sink in.
and his own shoulders relax - just a little - from where he seemed ready to fight.]
You're not with Adonis...?

[As soon as Mineo lets go of him, Luca is stumbling forward a few steps and immediately turning around to face him. He's not going to be winning any fights here, but he can at least not cower away from it. He's also rubbing at his arm as he shoots Mineo a glare.]
I've never even heard of someone named Adonis. Are you a student at the academy? Because you can't just go harassing staff members!
[Luca you're not even in your uniform right now, calm down.]

[Luca you're not even in your uniform right now, calm down.]
[Someone? Also - student? Mineo feels the tiniest little stab at his heart at that.]
Uh - no, I'm not a student. I'm Enomoto Mineo, ex-Field Ops.
[hmmmm.
hMMMMM.]
And I don't think we're at a school right now - or Shinjuku? So...
[they're uh. both very, very out of place and confused]
Uh - no, I'm not a student. I'm Enomoto Mineo, ex-Field Ops.

And I don't think we're at a school right now - or Shinjuku? So...
[they're uh. both very, very out of place and confused]
I thought we wouldn't be at the school itself, but- surely this is close to Uitspan?
[What is a Shinjuku?]
Or at the very least, still somewhere in Warassa, no? We're all speaking Warassan, so...

[what - ]
Bless you?
[okay - pause. mineo seems to be letting it click into place finally, looking down in confusion at his own clothes (or lack thereof) and the person in front of him and.]
I don't think we're in those places. It seems like we're somewhere else and - did you agree to do something in order to accomplish something you want?

[Just. A flat look. Because of that first part there.]
It seems we're somewhere new, yes.
And yes, I did make an agreement like that. I didn't expect to get thrown into something like this though.
[He gestures to the outfit they're stuck in.]

[yea he deserves that flat look - and Mineo is just going to look a little confused.]
It's kinda... flashy.... isn't it? This doesn't match up with the Adonis M.O. but....
[hm hm hmmmm. okay. he takes another second before he then proceeds to bow at the waist, lowering his head to Luca]
- This Enomoto Mineo humbly apologizes!! Even with the situation, I shouldn't have raised my hand against a civilian!
[just. a disaster whirlwind of a human being]

[What a fukken disaster. It's lucky he's cute, Luca can forgive a show of strength like that so long as the person responsible is apologizing and they are cute.]
Refrain from manhandling me without permission in the future, and I will accept your apology.
['without permission'.]

['without permission'.]
You can give permission for manhandling?
[don't just ask this question
but regardless he'll look very much like an admonished puppy as he looks up again.]
Ah... Promise though - you have my word. Sorry, I came from a...
[he looks around and then seems to choose his words carefully]
... A scuffle right before this, so I thought I was gonna get punched again...
[hence the. extreme reaction,]
I can still make it up to you though - if an apology's not enough.

["You can give permission for manhandling?"
"I can still make it up to you though."
It's like Mineo is trying to psychically damage Luca or something.]
...well. I'm not going to punch you at least.
[He's considering if he should educate Mineo on how to 'give permission for manhandling', but decides to not be a ho anymore for one day.]
Just try not to grab anyone suddenly like that anymore? Especially not me.

[yea it's totally unintentional but don't worry about it. also i love and respect you maple for trying not to bang more in one day.]
Ah - it's not in my plans or anything, honest.
[but mineo will stand up straight then, rubbing the back of his neck]
Uh... Gonna be honest, don't really know what the next steps are after accidentally attacking someone when we're both in weird costumes and kidnapped. Do you need to be escorted anywhere?

[He needs to space out his bangings so he doesn't die of exhaustion.
also, Mineo is so earnest that Luca can't help but smile.]
I think starting again with a 'hello' to get off on a better foot would be a good way to go.

Hello there. Luca Valentino, technician at Uitspan Academy. And I definitely didn't get manhandled until I yelled at you.
Nice to meet you as well.
Nice to meet you as well.
Technicians keep the equipment running and the labs in order, so that the professors can teach and the students can learn.
[He is. Not sure if Mineo is being genuine here or is teasing Luca. Because Luca is treated like a glorified janitor at his job and nobody has ever said that they appreciate him before.]
...thank you?
[He looks positively befuddled by this.]
...thank you?
[He looks positively befuddled by this.]
[luca's surprise just inspires mineo's own? he tilts his head at that]
.... oh, one of those under-appreciated jobs?
Then they'll have to wisen up one day! Or they're gonna super need you and you'll be sipping some drink with a little umbrella somewhere on a beach, and they'll call you all like [high pitched voice:] "Valentino-saaaan! We should've treated you better!" [back to normal voice:] and you'll pull down your shades all, "Did you hear something?"

[THIS JUST CONFUSES HIM MORE. WHAT IS RELAXING ON THE BEACH???]
I- that would be nice, I suppose?
[Mineo is very sweet though and while Luca is confused af he will remember the sentiments later. Especially the fact that Mineo got his name correct without having to be reminded of how to pronounce 'Valentino'.]
