014 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[alma_karma]

Yu!

[The video feed clicks on in a rush to show Alma with a rather determined look on his face. He's sitting on a small patch of concrete near the garden, a leather-bound notebook (fairly similar to one used by a certain inspector, in fact) open in his lap.]

I forgot to ask... Do you know when my birthday is?

...







This is confusing.

[crumbled]

[halkdf is 'llujah other-Yu now?]

It is, isn't it? Just a bit.

[alma_karma]

[Bitty doesn't know what else to use. ;;]

... If I call you both Yu, then everybody's gonna be confused.

[crumbled]

I think it's confusing enough calling us 'Yu' to begin with.

[CHINTAP how should this be.. remedied..]

[alma_karma]

But that's your name.

[crumbled]

I know it is. That doesn't make it any less confusing.

[alma_karma]

... M'not gonna call you Kanda.

[tothelastbreath]

[Allen tried not to butt in. He really tried.]

He's older, right? Just call him Old Yu.

[crumbled]

Shut up, old man.

[his comebacks are a bit.. rusty.]

[tothelastbreath]

[Kanda. Foot, mouth, think again.]

You're one to talk.

[crumbled]

[he's not flexible enough to do that, okay.]

At least I don't look it.

[tothelastbreath]

[...You would take that literally. The image doesn't bear thinking about.

And you do. Look much older, that is, in ways that aren't quite completely physical, which is what bothers Allen the most. For the moment, however, it's all getting tucked behind-- Well. See icon.]

At least I don't sound it.

[crumbled]

[hey, you're the one who was in a circus...

yes, it's hard to tell when you're just looking at yourself. but.

he knows. the same way he knows that Allen, Lavi, Lenalee, and even his other self are.. younger. in ways not as simple as age.

BUT WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW B|]

Are you tone deaf? What part of me sounds old?

[alma_karma]

... [Pffffft.] That could work.

[tothelastbreath]

[ with a sincerity too complete: ] It's definitely less confusing.

[alma_karma]

True. He's not really that old, though...

[tothelastbreath]

[Look, Old Yu, it's a touching show of support.

Which Allen is going to negate.]

But it does the trick, doesn't it?

[alma_karma]

Yeeeaaah...

[beanstalk]

[Snorts. SOMEONE APPROVES.]

That works.

[crumbled]

You stay out of this.

[beanstalk]

No.

[crumbled]

That's my name, too. But.. [wellll.]

We'll figure something out.

[alma_karma]

[NO. Your name is 'Yu'. :|

Have a smile. Old Yu. |D]

[crumbled]

[NOOOO.....

catching that bit with Allen and.



facepalm hhhghghk.]
