w0, monday

[psynchronise]

[ aaa, the jack o lantern tunnel.

a tunnel of mystery, of allure. of rrrromance and excitement. the gentle movement of the pumpking carriage; the deep and dark aura of the village looming in the background as they trundle along...

the shriek of kaname date as he throws himself onto the floor of the carriage to avoid being skewered by a very sweet and loving arrow. ]

Oh there is no way in hell [ haha ] this would pass health and safety back home!

[bookpapers]

[this is shaping up to be lavi's favorite ride if only he has no idea what the FCK it's supposed to be, WHY are they being attacked and WHY is this carriage in the shape of a pumpkin?

He reaches over to pull the arrow out of where it's embedded in the wall, then returns to his position of safety, aka also on the floor]

Now's a great time to tell me if you've got a bow in your back pocket.

[psynchronise]

[ there is no bow in his pocket and he's-- well, "pleased to see you" is a strong emotion on a pumpkin ride in hell. ]

Sure, let me just get it-- oh wait.

[ he's gonna grab the arrow and try and throw it back at one of the attacking "enemies" >(

(i rolled a 5, so he definitely just flung it without looking.) ]

[bookpapers]

[Lavi watches it spin out of sight. It said improbable shooting on Date's profile, so the arrow hits one of the animatronics as a treat.]

Nice throw! Or should I say 'lucky shot'?

[psynchronise]

[ yaywon is kinder to me than the dice are. ]

... Sure, we'll got with lucky shot. It was pretty lucky!

[ they are still lying on the floor of a hugeass pumpkin. ]

[bookpapers]

[it's bc i love date with all my heart

lavi looks at the ceiling as an another arrow zips overhead.]

...It's not so bad. Feels a lot like home!

[psynchronise]

[ please get better taste. ]

... Uuuuh.

[ HELLO? ]

Weird topic while we're lying in the bottom of a pumpkin carriage, but explain your home.

[bookpapers]

[he meant this as a throwaway comment? wow?

but like weirdly enough, the moment date mentions 'home', his heart feels all tight and scratchy. weird!]

Not much to explain. [LIAR] I'm always going on missions for the Order. Constant travel, back and forth. Also, lots of fighting, and sometimes even fighting while traveling.

[psynchronise]

[ no he doesn’t get to wiggle out of this one. date is unwillingly dad shaped. ]

… So, the Order’s like an organisation you work with? Or are indebted to, I don’t know your life. And they, what, rope a kid in to travel, fight and travel while fighting?

[ wow. ]

[bookpapers]

[dad....]

Hey, I signed up because I wanted to. [well, for his other job, but he knows that's not the point Date's trying to make]

...Doesn't matter how old you are, whether you're a kid or an adult with a family. If the Innocence accepts ya, then the Church will make you their soldier.

[psynchronise]

[ boogie woogie woogie. ]

Yeah, okay, that is not any better?

"Oh look, this thing accepted you! Welcome to the life of a child soldier!"?? Fuck that.

[bookpapers]

[he laughs at that, then]

...S'not that different from what happened with Bucky, is it? If there's a war, there's always gonna be kids on the frontlines.

[is that why lavi was so affected by the trial! maybe so]

[psynchronise]

There shouldn't be.

[ but he shrugs. ]

You haven't gone rogue and murdered someone yet though. So, you're doing a little better than he was.

[bookpapers]

[is he? :)]

...We've all got our breaking points.

[pokes date in the shoulder since they're on the floor together]

Maybe I'll get hit by another meteor that turns me into a romance hero with five illness and I decide to end it all for good.

[psynchronise]

[ i guess we’ll find out on saturday. ]

No kidding. But there was only one body last week and you didn’t kill them so good job.

[ he does a thumbs up. and arrow flies over the top of his hand and embeds itself into the other side of the lantern.

he puts his hand down. ]

Yeah, don’t make a habit of that. I think being a romance hero with five illnesses is normally a one time event.

[bookpapers]

[he snorts at that, then]

Actually, about that -- I talked to Hunter, the one who's still here, and he said that the meteor was from his world.

[psynchronise]

[ ... ]

No shit, really? Did it draw off his memories or something?

[bookpapers]

...That'd be my guess. Which, if it's true, really doesn't bode well.

[he doesn't want people to run into any akuma that would be extremely bad]

You got anything from your world that we should be worried about?

[psynchronise]

… A serial killer that tears out one of people’s eyes while they’re still alive? Potentially Somniums as well.

[bookpapers]

[Lavi immediately sits up.]

Tears out what?

[psynchronise]

Eyes.

[ WELCOME TO LOWKEY EYE GORE THE GAME. ]

[bookpapers]

[lavi resists the urge to touch his eye]

Yeah... That's definitely something to be concerned about.

What's a Somnium?

[psynchronise]

[ don’t touch your eye. ]

You weren’t permanently full of terminal illness right? It went away? If stuff I know comes up, it’ll be temporary.

Latin for dream.

[bookpapers]

It went away, sure, but it still hurt like a bitch.

[date don't get your eyes or eye taken out!! he frowns]

I meant what's the name for?

[psynchronise]

I mean, yeah. It’s sounds like it’s going to suck if it happens again, so try to avoid that.

[ he’s doing his best to avoid it. ]

A Somnium’s a Somnium.
