alma_karma | 003 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[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.]

You're welcome.

[He's just going to deactivate his arm and watch for a bit. It feels weird to not be the one arguing with Kanda for once.]

From:

beanstalk

Like I'd scare you on purpose.

From:

alma_karma

You would so.

From:

tothelastbreath

[Attempts to foil the impending fight by clearing his throat.]

From:

beanstalk

Have something to say, bean sprout?

From:

alma_karma

[Blinkblinking at the both of you.]

From:

tothelastbreath

[He was going to say something appropriately cheerful and distracting, but your tone of voice is really uncalled for, so.]

You would so, bean stalk.

[Don't worry about it Alma, it's a law of nature that any quarrel occurring within 10 feet of Allen and Kanda shall be theirs to adopt.]

From:

beanstalk

The hell would you know?

[Both of you are gonna make him climb up. He can feel it.]

From:

alma_karma

[Alma blinks between them again before giggling and putting on a mischievous expression.]

You woooould~

From:

tothelastbreath

Because Alma always knows better than you~

[Dons a perfectly angelic smile of his own. Look at them Kanda, waaaay out of reach on this tree, side by side. Feel like climbing up yet?]

From:

beanstalk

.....

[Runs/leap up the tree WHAT NOW. >:|]

From:

alma_karma

[EEP. Still holding on, Allen?]

From:

tothelastbreath

[His smile is now one of unholy glee, because really, the sight of an angry Kanda in a tree? Ahahaha. Ha. Be careful not to get any branches in your hair, or that would really make Allen's day.]

Hang on Alma!

[Grabs the boy by the waist and tucks him under his arm, then makes a run for it by leaping from tree to tree, often swinging from Clown Belt and totally, totally cheating.]

From:

beanstalk

OI! [You fucking cheater, he's gonna reach out to try and grab your ankle before you can get too far with your Innocence. CHEATER.]

From:

alma_karma

[Alma squeaks in a highly undignified manner (not that dignity means much to Alma), but adjusts to the new mode of transportation quickly. It's like flying! The closest he's ever come to this before are those few moments after being thrown... right before you hit the wall.]

From:

tothelastbreath

[Nope, no slamming into walls here unless Allen slips very spectacularly... And yikes, that hand came too close for comfort. He's never been as fast as Kanda is, and carrying Alma doesn't help, so he'll just have to make up for it with acrobatics and a WHOLE lot of cheating. Don't mind the belt slapping your hand away, even as he makes another gravity-defying leap onto the closest rooftop and just. Runs like hell. Welcome aboard the Walker Express, Alma.]

From:

beanstalk

[Just. Standing on the tree branch. Lmao Allen if you cared to look back Kanda actually doesn't look THAT pissed. Just slightly annoyed.]

Tch. Stupid bean sprout, you're going to exhaust yourself.

From:

alma_karma

[Alma whoops and laughs the entire time, smiling wide and spreading his arms apart as his hair whips around his face.]

From:

tothelastbreath

[He does glance back when Kanda fails to give chase, turning around when it doesn't look like anyone's going to die today. Have a last adrenaline rush that is Allen jumping back onto the ground, Alma. Going to set you down now.]

I'm fine, and it's Allen.
