003 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[alma_karma]

[The feed opens to a smiling Alma against a backdrop of shifting tree branches. His cheeks are red from the cold and his little puffs of breath are quickly blown away by the wind, but the weather doesn't seem to bother him in the least.]

Look how far you can see! I didn't even have to climb that far.

[The camera is promptly turned around to show a pretty decent view of the city. Nothing like what you might get from atop a building, but there's a sense of accomplishment gained from tree-climbing that stairs just can't compete with.]

... S'not nice.

[alma_karma]

[And Kanda just might catch a glimpse of this face for a split second before Alma tries to tackle him into the snow.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

Oh. [And offers his assistance via a handful of snow tossed at Kanda's face.]

[in person]

[beanstalk]

[Faceplant. GDIT. As soon as he pushes himself up, he gets hit with the snow. jdfhgjhfg

Allen you are so lucky you're out of arm's reach or he'd shove your face in it. :|]

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[HA. HAHA. Alma is now perched on top of you. And he is LAUGHING. So. Hard.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

[Allen's stiiiiill out of reach and laughing nearly as hard. With Alma. At Kanda. Sorry Kanda, your expression is pretty much priceless at the moment.]

[in person]

[beanstalk]

... I hate you both.

[Like he means that.]

<[in person]

[alma_karma]

[Still wearing the biggest grin ever. You can't fool your little bff, Kanda.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

[agreeably] Of course. [glancing back at the apartments and changing the subject... Well, dismissing it, really.] We should probably get back inside, by the way.

[in person]

[beanstalk]

Tch. C'mon, Alma. Get off.

[Bitty needs to stop staying outside so long.]

Re: [in person]

[alma_karma]

[Hey, just think of it as making up for lost time.

He does eventually scramble off of Kanda, wiping the back of a hand under his very red nose.]

Do we have to go back inside?

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

I'm afraid so. Before the cold bites, remember? We can come out again another day.

[in person]

[beanstalk]

Even you can get sick, kid.

[Getting back to his feet and dusting off his uniform. Jacket, what's that?]

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[Alma sighs dramatically. Appropriate icon is appropriate.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

[Sigh Bakanda, naturally you don't need a jacket. What's that old saying again? Something about how stupid people can't catch colds. Going to take hold of Alma's hand and start heading back now.]

[in person]

[beanstalk]

[...Shut up, Alma in a tree requires he jump out the window right then okay.]

... Don't give me that, Alma.

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[Alma lets Allen lead him, only dragging his feet a little as that childish reluctance hangs on.]

I know...

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

We can stay out longer when it gets warmer, okay?

[in person]

[beanstalk]

[He will resist Alma's face gdit :T]

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[Trudgetrudge. You know you feel bad, Kanda. You doooo.]

I guess so.

Re: [in person]

[tothelastbreath]

[Despite the apologetic look he's wearing, Allen's actually more amused than affected. Not that it shows. He's going to lead them aaaaaall the way back, trudging or not.]

And Kanda will come too. Right, beanstalk? [Innocent, innocent smile. Look at the bitty's face, Kanda. You can't say no.]

[in person]

[beanstalk]

..... Fine, I'll come.

[Hates you both.]

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[WOE Okay, going inside's not so bad if everybody's going anyway.

... Holding out his free hand toward Kanda with a hopeful expression.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

[Allen was actually talking about going outside next time, but hey, whatever works.

......Ah. He's... not going to think about how totally weird this will be if Alma succeeds, and just. See what happens.]
