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.]

[Doesn't answer right away. He's going to leave his door open so the others can follow him in, then grab a bucket and thrust it at Kanda. There's a pile of tinder in it, clearly the chopped remains of random furniture, and two boxes of matches. Two more buckets stand in the middle of his room, one blackened and half-filled with ash, the other filled with water.]

Here.

[Caught semi-off guard, oof.]

You give any of this to Lenalee?

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[Gonna wander over and poke at the ash-filled bucket in the middle of the room.

... Ew, sooty fingers.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

Not yet, but I'm going to when I see her next, or maybe send her a message.

[Tim's going to snag one of Alma's sleeves and tuuuuug his hand away from the soot.]

[in person]

[beanstalk]

I haven't even heard form her since she got here.

[Wait where's--] ...What are you doing in there, nimrod?

[alma_karma]

[Dirty finge- OH HI, TIM. Going for a playful poke at the golem with a sooty finger.]

Nuthin'.

[Oh look, one of Tim's cheeks is sporting a black smudge now. Watch him express his disapproval by slapping Alma's shoulder (gently) with his tail.]

[in person]

[beanstalk]

... [Facepalm.]

[in person]

[alma_karma]

[He giggles and starts wiping his fingers off on the edge of his jacket.] Sorry, Tim!

[Way to derail the "adult" conversation with your shenanigans, Alma.]

[in person]

[tothelastbreath]

Oh, erm. [Blink blink blinking at Alma and Tim.] I haven't heard from her either, maybe we should try contac-- C'mon Tim, it's just a smudge.

[He'll just... go over and wipe the golem off with his own sleeve. There you go.]
