Luke Is Freaking Me Out
Is it just me, or did anyone else get some strange vibes from Luke?
At first, I thought he was totally cool, refusing to hold me because he thought I was bitten; it was aggravating he didn't believe me, but realistic that he was skeptical and overly cautious. I'd done the same, if in that situation. Then, Luke actually engaged me in conversation at the table, and expressed a genuine interest about my past as Clem. No one but him seemed to care about Clem's past in the entire game. He kind of reminded me of an older brother. Then things got weird.
When we had to cross the bridge and he asked me to come, I was wondering why not another adult? It seemed more logical to ask someone who wasn't just a young girl. But he asked, and even said something about Clem being more than just a little girl, or whatever. Creepy, if you ask me. Then he turned Nick down from coming. Of course, Nick's a horrible shot, so I didn't think too much on that.
When it came time to speak with the guy on the bridge, he suggested I do the talking. Me! A little girl. I started to get the feeling I was the one taking care of him, and not the other way around. After the bridge guy died, my perception of Luke changed. I started to feel like the little sister with an older brother who wasn't playing with a full deck of cards, if you understand. I thought maybe there was something different about him, but it turned out there wasn't. He was just a little boy in a big boy's body. Why in the world was he so stuck on Clem?
Then the dinner-table event occurred. I chose to sit with Kenny because...well, I knew him better than these survivors I had just met, and I wanted to catch up with him. But as I walked toward Kenny's table, Luke gave me one of the most pathetic looking pouts I'd ever seen. I, at that moment, wanted to reconsider and wished the game would let me go sit with him and the others instead. But that guilt passed as I talked with Kenny, trying to figure out about his new gal. Not that I'm going to get into it, but I was very surprised and slightly disgusted Kenny had moved on. He had just lost his entire family, and he found someone new. I was engaged with Kenny, when out of the blue Luke sits down. I sighed out loud, literally. Wth is he doing, I had thought. Then he and Kenny get into it, and I'm just watching the game with the dumbest expression. It was like Luke thought he had exclusive rights to Clementine and no one could talk to her without his permission. Like he was trying to tell Kenny to back of because she was his, and it was staying that way. I just couldn't even deal anymore.
I still like Luke, but now I feel uncomfortable by a video game character, for the first time in my life.
He gives off pedophile vibes to me.

but I still get this weird feeling from him. like he is hiding something -_-
The bridge scene weirded me out too though, Carlos was right on this one, she is just a little girl, im sure Luke could've picked any of the other members from the group.
... So you'd just want to watch while the other characters do the talking and all the interesting stuff, what?
All the Matthew things and stuff, it was important that Clem saw it happening
No one else could go. Carlos had Sarah, Alvin had Rebecca and Nick was not mentally fit to do this. Luke trusted Clem to help him because she had already proved how strong she is. Besides at this point Clem is the group's official jack of all trades.
"When it came time to speak with the guy on the bridge, he suggested I do the talking."
Because like he said the stranger wouldn't shoot a little girl.
"Then the dinner-table event occurred."
But Kenny does the exact same thing if you sit with Luke. He pouts and then switches tables causing the same arguement.
"He gives off pedophile vibes to me."
*facepalm*
*facepalm*
-* double facepalm
This is just a game, c'mon :(
So yeah, I don't mind the whole taking care of Clem thing
lol im sorry I just had to say that.
Then why write a reply?
I didn't say he was a pedophile, sheesh. Is everyone so blind to the grey area? I just said he gives off the vibes. I've met plenty of people who've made me uncomfortable in real life, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily bad or anything. It's just my perception of them, is all.
