01 [video]

[cryingirlfriend]

[The screen slowly fizzes to life this time to reveal a face, a rather familiar face, if you disregard the two black triangles bleeding down from the eyes, the almost unnatural glint in them, the slight discoloration to the skin. And, of course, the smears and splatters of blood painting that face

[That's...]

[promisedlotus]

[Alma? It can't be. Alma was already here.]

[promisedlotus]

[But this... he recognizes Alma like this.

...He's an akuma.]

[promisedlotus]

[Ohgod, this can't be happening.]

1/2

[looseleafbook]

[What the...? He had just talked to Alma the other day and he was a little kid. What's with this random growth spurt? lmao Why has no one told Lavi about Alma?]

[looseleafbook]

Alma...? You alright?

[cryingirlfriend]

[You should totally just know these things, Lavi. That's why~

Excuse him if he looks a little freaked out. Seeing someone come back from the dead kind of does that to a person]

... You know my name. [Yeah... BRB FLIPPING OUT] How?!

[Because if you're with Yuu he might have to kill you and then... but he swears he didn't see you before, at the lab, and... why is this so confusing?]

video;

[looseleafbook]

[Because Kanda is an ass and didn't tell Lavi about Alma. Nothing at all other than he's from home.

Yeah, Lavi could understand that pretty damn well. Sad to say he's gotten used to it at home, seeing those animated skeletons in the skins of their loved ones.

Blinks and pulls back from the feed.] I just...talked to you the other day, yeah? About gardens and getting plants.

[He hasn't quite put the level four halo with things yet, right now he's just Alma, suffering an odd growth spurt. Sob.]

It's okay, yeah? You're safe here.

[Video] 1/3 TIME TO COCKBLOCK YOUR HAPPY TIMES.

[Is that...?]

[stealsumbrellas]

[Oh, this is great.]

[Video]

[stealsumbrellas]

Come to me.

[cryingirlfriend]

[He's been fighting with Kanda, the PDA forgotten on the ground nearby, only catching a few glimpses of their scuffle as the video feed is activated, but at Rhode's command, Alma's entire body seems to shudder, and he breaks away to skid to a stop on the ground a few feet away from the PDA.

He crouches, and gives the screen a wild look, hissing through clenched teeth.]

Not now. Later.

[But he doesn't move, not yet, and his entire body seems to be trembling, torn between the stubborn need to just kill the boy in front of him... and the Akuma's built-in need to obey.]

[Tyki watches, amused and he chuckles. This has gotten way too interesting.]

Having fun?

[Video]

[cryingirlfriend]

[He thought he'd sensed more than Rhode here. You'll have to forgive him if he looks... less than pleased to see you, Tyki.

He's already had his "MUST KILL YUU" rage interrupted once today.]

Not as much as I could be.

[Filtered]

[crossedtease]

[Not at all. From the time he's from, Alma hasn't even woken up yet.

But smirking]

Have you met your friend yet~?

1/?

[alma_karma]

[Whoa, thats...]

2/?

[alma_karma]

[That's his face. Older and different, but his face.]

3/?

[alma_karma]

[But that can't be possible because he's already here, right? Yu and Allen and Lavi are all from the future, but could an older him be here while he's still little?]

done

[alma_karma]

[This doesn't make any sense and what-... wait.

Is that blood?]

Wha-...
