alma_karma: (i have to poop)
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?
alma_karma: (... what massacre?)
[The feed is turned accidentally by a squeeze of small fingers, and a slowly bobbing view of the apartment building is visible. Alma trudges through the light rain, taking refuge in the partial protection the building provides. What can be seen of the boy (mostly his legs) is covered in mud, as if he fell somewhere along the way.

After a few minutes of walking, he reaches the front of the building and sets his PDA down on the concrete before stepping back out into the rain to try and scrub himself clean.]
alma_karma: (we'll be just fine)
[So has anyone been keeping an eye on the little garden on the sunny side of the apartment building? It's actually... progressing, and quite a bit as of late. Some colorful flowers are scattered about along with... peas? Yes, those look like pea pods, and maybe a row of carrots. Know what to look for and you might even spot a small patch of what will probably be potatoes. Overall, the plants are kind of sad looking, all with a sort of half-wilted look to them. Nothing particularly amazing... or even vaguely impressive by normal standards, but considering the main caregiver (a.k.a. the person who stands outside and stares at it the most) is an eleven-year-old boy working with stolen seeds in what might as well be a wasteland? It's doing fairly well.

Small dirt formations are standing guard all along the edges of the small garden reminiscent of the little sculptures that Alma's attempted in the past, and that's where the boy is today. He's prodding slowly at a lump of mud, Mr. Bats fluttering almost lazily by one shoulder. Alma smiles at the camera once he's sure it's on, waving muddy fingers.]


The plants are growing. I'm not really sure when they're supposed to be done... Does anybody know?

Oh, and I wanted to ask... [He rubs at the back of his neck awkwardly, smearing mud over himself by accident.] Um, Lavi? Or... Mister General? Do you think I could learn to speak Russian?
alma_karma: (another nightmare?)
[Alma looks a little worse for the wear after so long in the fog. Not really in bad shape physically, but the bitty is tired. Kinda dirty and pretty ruffled-looking too, but mostly tired.]

Is everybody okay?

[He shifts a little nervously, rustling some papers together off-screen.]

R-Rhode? I drew your pictures...

[Because experience tells him that presents are the best way to pacify an angry Noah.]
alma_karma: (this is very interesting. really. 8|)
[The feed clicks on accidentally as a small hand brushes by, the PDA tipped sideways in a tuft of tough, wet grass by what looks to be the edge of the apartment building. Alma is very close, only the lower portion of his body visible as he kneels in in the dirt, both arms stretched out in front of him as he prods at a pile of mud.

He continues his efforts for several minutes, ignoring the inclement weather and building his pile into a small pillar of sorts before pinching off a higher section on top. He pulls back and, after a moment, leans down far enough for the camera to catch his expression as scrutinizes his odd little creation, nose wrinkled and eyebrows furrowed. After a few more careful jabs and pokes he sits back again, the end product before him looking vaguely familiar.]
alma_karma: (peeping tom caught in the act!)
[Nervous bitty is nervous, one finger on each hand trapping his black golem in front of him and rolling it to and fro. All that wing flapping? Useless.]

Has anybody else been hearing weird noises?
alma_karma: (is that right?)
[Alma's frowning a bit as he fumbles the feed on, still somewhat subdued after the events of last week. He's also a little annoyed with a certain someone for being a HUGE JERKFACE... but he's not going to let that keep him from carrying on with his very excellent plan! Have a quick smile, Nesreca.]

Allen? Mister Link? Is it warm enough to plant things yet? Because it's much nicer than it was before and there's more people now, so I bet we could grow a bunch of things if we all helped...
alma_karma: (broken)
[ooc: Backdated to not long after midnight on April 1st.]

[The feed clicks on to the sound of panicked, raspy breathing. Small fingers fumble at the device for several long seconds before words come, halting and strained.]

A-Allen! I-!... I was back in the l-lab and then I woke up here a-and- [Alma cuts off, coughing wetly away from the feed for a minute before he manages to gather himself and continue]

Yu's not br-breathing and he's not getting b-back up!
alma_karma: (FIGHT)
[The feed turns on with a crash as two small bodies roll over the device, all flailing limbs and high-pitched yelps. They tumble out of the camera's range quickly, but the scuffling can still easily be heard, along with two identical voices with very different tones.]

Hey, stop it!

Shut the hell up!

[There's a loud crack that may or may not be a piece of furniture breaking (sorry Kanda), and the feed continues to record frequent obscenities and the occasional flailing limb. This could go on for a while.]
alma_karma: (peeping tom caught in the act!)
[Alma looks a little nervous as he flips the video on, little fingers clutching tightly at his stuffed bunny. Between the lingering memories of last week and Allen's recent "incident", things have been confusing to say the very least.]

... Is everything okay now?
alma_karma: (no worries)
[Awkward Alma is awkward, a stuffed bunny in his arms and a crooked little smile on his face. Kanda's little black golem is fluttering by one shoulder, decorated with what looks like colorful swirls of chalk.]

... Does anyone wanna play with me?

[Yes, someone's bored.]
alma_karma: (heeeeere yu~)
[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.]
alma_karma: (it's embarrassing)
[Alma looks to be sitting on the floor of his room, a small collection of books scattered over the floor around him.]

I know there's probably people I haven't talked to yet, so... hi! I'm Alma! [He rubs at the back of his neck awkwardly.] I was wondering if anybody had anything to draw with. Like paints! It's kinda dark in here and the walls are boring...

So, um... yeah! That's all. Thank you!
alma_karma: (huh?)
[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.]
