[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.

[bookpapers]

[flops back down on the ground next to him]

Will it kill me if I see it?

[psynchronise]

Not literally. You might experience death or see it? But it’s not literal.

Just try not to be stuck in there for longer than six minutes.

What kinda stuff did you say you investigated again?
