LOVE ME DEAD / open, joining

Luca wasn't even aware of the Typhoon's reputation at first. He had only joined the clan because he'd never stayed on an island before and wanted to try something new. After all, he got awfully bored of routine. Four hundred years of life had started to give Luca a taste for excitement. It was a slightly odd feeling after being closed off for so long. Just a hundred years ago he had been locking himself in Kamasaki's mansion, relying on her to bring him what he needed to survive. But look at him now! He was trotting around on his own, making friends and enemies. Mostly enemies. He was independent and strong, and he wished his dad could see him now. Knowing him though, he'd probably still find something to criticise.

The hellhound came over at the sight of his companions gathering at the border, settling a bit behind Goldie and peering over her at the nervous newcomer. His eyes scanned the feline's body, lingering on his backpack and bandaged legs before finally making eye contact. There was something eerily familiar about this adorable little feline, something that Luca couldn't quite place. He licked his lips, flashing Rinto a smile. "We wouldn't eat a joiner, at least," he confirmed. He hadn't seen anyone engaging in any casual cannibalism, although he guessed that didn't mean it was impossible for his clanmates to be into that sort of thing. "Welcome to the Typhoon. I'm Luca Rosario, feel free to come to me if you... need anything," he continued, throwing in a wink at the end for good measure.
