001 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[alma_karma]

[The camera lens is partially blocked when the feed clicks on, fuzzy pinkish edges suggesting fingers to be the culprit. Whoever it is holding the device is moving if the shifting light and soft padding sounds are any clue. After less than a minute of traveling the footsteps stop and a small voice cuts through the silence.]

What’s going on?... Doctor Edgar? Yu? Where'd you go?

[When no answer comes, movement begins again, slightly faster than before as a steady light source from one direction becomes apparent. Maybe a window or a door...

There's a little gasp and the camera's view suddenly blurs, the faciliberry clattering loudly as it hits the ground. A cloudy sky comes into view, as well as an extremely foreshortened view of a young boy. He's staring up at the sky with an almost disbelieving expression, apparently unaware that he's dropped his device.]

... I'd rather not say.

[alma_karma]

... Why not?

[beanstalk]

It's complicated.

[alma_karma]

... [Pout.]

[beanstalk]

[Immune!]

The bean sprout'll bring you to the building.

[alma_karma]

Bean sprout?

[beanstalk]

The other Exorcist.

[alma_karma]

You mean Alle-

... Other exorcist?

[beanstalk]

That's what I said.

[C'mon Alma, they're wearing the same thing!]

[alma_karma]

[OBLIVIOUS. Also, the new surroundings are pretty good for distracting the kid from the uniforms he's never seen before today.]

... You synchronized with the Innocence?

[beanstalk]

... Yeah.

[alma_karma]

That's great!
