[bookpapers]

THE LAST TIME I MADE A PC CATCHALL DAHUT EXPLODED

Comments

[faithkept]

[EXPLORING THE GY TOGETHER types exploding no not that. DAMN THOUGH Lavi is more of a catholic than he is.]

Oh. We could go to the bar, then? They ought to have something for you. Mixers and juices and such.

[bookpapers]

[THEY'RE JUST EXPLODING THE GY EVEN THO SCIEN AND LUCAS HAD THEIR FIRST KISS THERE]

It's a date then. Let's go!

[uwah his first date virginity taken by lucas..... once they're there he will order a normal non-alcoholic drink that won't turn anyone yandere, though he'll gesture for the bottle to pour Lucas a glass,]

[faithkept]

[STOP THAT.

Uwoo though nice... ALSO HELP. Lucas just laughs but he will let Lavi take the bottle and pour him a glass.]

How have you been all this time, anyway? The last week looked like it was particularly rough, but it's been weeks and weeks... Outside of Wednesday, that is.

[bookpapers]

It's been tough! But it wasn't so bad either.

[it was really the NOTHING IN LIFE MATTERS (SAD) part of the meme, but Lavi is also used to terrible circumstances that the murdergame didn't feel that bad. in the grand scheme of things. more importantly, he daintily holds his glass of non-alcoholic vintage so he can peer at Lucas with avid interest]

Are you dating Scien?

[faithkept]

I suppose it can be both of these things...

[Tough but not so bad, even though he's frankly worried about all these people who are like EH I'VE DEALT WITH WORSE about horrific circumstances. YALL PLEASE.

Also he chokes on the sip of wine he'd been taking.]

...Why is that what you choose to lead with?

[bookpapers]

[SO IT'S TRUE]





I wouldn't have hit on you if I knew you were taken.......!!

[UWAAAH... HOW EMBARRASSING.......]

[faithkept]

I wasn't, at the time...

[THIS IS VERY RECENT... SCIEN HAD TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH........]

[bookpapers]

[REALLY..... TELL ME I MEAN LAVI MORE]

So he's the cad who stole you away!!

[AND IT'S NOT LAVI? WHEW]

[faithkept]

[HELP!!!!! SHAKES YOU LIKE A RATTLE.]

You did flirt with me long before he did, so that would seem to be the case. Oh, my... Quite tragic, isn't it?

[bookpapers]

[he shakes his head mournfully.... takes a sip of his drink mournfully... this would be more effective if he was actually drinking alcohol]

S'fine... I'm not the kind of guy who stands in the way of true love! And Scien's definitely the type.

[they had one brief conversation and lavi is convinced scien is a true romantic]

[faithkept]

Do you think so?

[The vibes that radiate amusement seem to potentially agree, but he'll just take a sippy of his drink instead.]

It's quite sad that we'll never see a reenactment of that vision you conjured up, even so.

[bookpapers]

[he squints at lucas like now i know ur TEASING...

then he scoots over to lean his head on lucas, uwah]

Don't be sad, Luca. If Satoru and Suguru can come from different timelines, then maybe there's one where we're happy together!!

[faithkept]

[HE IS TEASING... Though there's a blip of some sort of squiggly emotion over something Lavi says. It's fine, he just gently bonks his head against Lavi's.]

Do you think so? That would be quite charming, really. I'd bring you home the loveliest bouquet of flowers every night just to remind you of how lucky I'd feel.

[bookpapers]

[WOAH... THAT'S ROMANCE... he puts his hands over his chest]

And I'd buy you and Nadia your favorite pastries. [HE CAN NEVER FORGET NADIA IN THIS AU....

though he also peers at Lucas, his jokey demeanor softening,]

...Are ya worried about the timelines?

[faithkept]

[ROMANCE!!!! He's such a maniac but he is so soft... He's also touched that Lavi includes Nadia even in their joint shitpost.]

We'd both be very grateful, I'm sure.

[But!! He just shakes his head a little at the question.]

No, I'm not.

[It's because he is resigned to the fact that everyone is going back to their respective ones.]

[bookpapers]

[punches lucas.... me not lavi

he nods at this, not so much believing it as he is listening, putting his cocktail on the counter as he heaves a sigh, slightly theatrical but sincere too,]

I am. I was hoping you'd say yes, so we could commiserate about it...

[HIS SAD DRINK!!!! LUCAS!!!!!!]

[faithkept]

[HELP yeah do.

HIS SAD DRINK THOUGH. HELP. He reaches out and pantomimes patting the air over Lavi's back.]

We can commiserate, anyway. You and Kanda are from different times, then?

[bookpapers]

[CUTENESS AGGRESSION....

Lavi like why is Lucas air patting me..... no but now he has an inkling as to WHY, mister jumped on a giant baby god and punched its red dot out of superhuman strength]

...I didn't realize it at first. We didn't get to talk about it more while he was still alive.

But it's the only thing that makes sense, now that I think about it.

[faithkept]

[STOP NOT PUNCHING ITS RED DOT he really did.]

Ah... Are you farther ahead than he is? Or he, you? Or is it a situation where you're all from different timelines with different events?

[bookpapers]

[YEAH HE DID THAT

THESE QUESTIONS ARE SO TELLING. ARE THE VIRCHES FCKING OKAY. HE IS LOOKING AT LUCAS LIKE I SEE YOUR TIMELINE SHENANIGANS ARE WORSE THAN MINE?]

He's farther ahead. About four months, maybe?

Is that what you guys are from? Different timelines with completely different events?

[faithkept]

[LISTEN HERE.

ALSO LISTEN AGAIN. They're fine... Don't worry about it. Sometimes things happen.]

Ah... I've heard it's a bit similar for Caelus, Robin, Aventurine and Boothill, as well. [Being on the same timeline but at different points hadn't even occurred to him until recently...] ...I wonder how that will work in your case, then... But yes, we are.

[bookpapers]

[listen...... he will pretend that it's fine if lucas wants, but at this eve of going back home and probably never seeing these people again, he feels sad. there's only a difference of four months between him and kanda, but a separate timeline entirely? and he thought he had problems!!!]

...Sorry. I talked about commiserating, but I didn't really understand.

[their virches..... this is so sad im depressed]

[faithkept]

[SWEET LAVI... After a bit of a pause, he does reach out, holding a hand palm up for one of Lavi's.]

There's no need to apologize. I think we all face difficulties in some way... Four months of separation is still quite a headache.

[Lavi will have to wait FOUR MONTHS to catch up to the Kanda that remembers him... if that's even how it WORKS.]

[bookpapers]

[oh, he's a little surprised after Lucas has been so careful about not touching him, but... he will put his paw in Lucas's paw,]

I'm not really sure how it's gonna work.

[just COPIES your META brackets. lavi only learned about this fcking machine after endgame sat]

But I've been telling myself that things will be fine as long as they're okay.

[faithkept]

[He doesn't wrap his fingers around Lavi's hand, he just lets it sit in his paw. No risk that way... OH YEAH THOUGH FUCKING HELP. LAVI THE SURVIVOR.]

I hope that it works to your favor... Though that does sound like you.
