[There's a Tyki leaning awkwardly against a wall somewhere in a particularly busy part of the Dressing Room. He's not very interested in all the people going past him, and he doesn't really seem to realize that his cigarette is starting to burn out. For some reason, he doesn't look quite well... as if he hasn't slept lately. His eyes aren't focused

[ normally tries not to help Tykis, but this one seems a bit . . . out of it. So. ] Are you all right?

[cracked_crosses]

[He gazes dully in front of him.]

I'm not at all sure... not sure. Not supposed to be here, am I?

[He slowly slides down the wall, wrapping his arms around himself. After a second, he looks up at you inquisitively.]

Say. What's the date?

[Suddenly, he seems a little more lucid, and something behind his eyes clears. He's shaking ever so slightly, but he seems to have regained his composure.]

[butadoll]

[ . . . that's. Kind of unnerving ] None of us are.

I believe it's the ninth of June. May I ask why?

[cracked_crosses]

Ah. No reason. I'm trying to determine how long I've been here.

[he averts his eyes and admits grudgingly,]

Sometimes I neglect to keep track of time. I don't seem to be forgetting anything so far, though...

[a vaguely unbalanced smile drifts across his lips, before shifting into a full-on mirthful grin. the change is too quick to be normal.]

It seems for once I haven't lost any days in between ending up somewhere completely different! Lovely.

[failingfelicity]

Are you new?

[cracked_crosses]

New? To here? I... suppose I am.

[suddenly, he inhales sharply and shies away.]

You. I know YOU. You're an EXORCIST. I'll-

[but he can't sense any Innocence.]

Or... you look like her?

[he notices your golden eyes.]

What.

[failingfelicity]

[She smiles reassuringly, but stays standing where she is.]

I won't hurt you, don't worry. I'm a Noah.

[cracked_crosses]

[now he's just confused.]

You're family? I don't remember. Liar...

[he thinks.]

...Oh. You're /different/ family. From somewhere else. I see.

[he makes a tentative attempt at a smile... he's still not looking too grounded, though.]

[gunlessgeneral]

*Popping up next to him, hi*

Yep. But then, no one's supposed to be here.

[cracked_crosses]

SHIT! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

[he jumps back at your sudden appearance, teeth bared. after a second, however, he loses the aggression and just sort of scowls, not seeing you as a serious threat.]

It's not nice to lurk and then jump out. Could get people killed, you know.

[gunlessgeneral]

It's what I do best. What, did I startle you that much?

[cracked_crosses]

[he doesn't look scared at all anymore. in fact, he looks sort of deranged.]

Oh, trust me, you'd be startled too if you got what little old me normally gets after someone gets the advantage of me. And besides... which is it that you do best? Lurk or get people killed? I like the second one better.

[a lot better.]

[lastnightswish]

[Kanda's just going to stop in her tracks, brow furrowed. Obviously new. She crosses her arms and tilts her head.]

None of us are where we're supposed to be.

[cracked_crosses]

...Is that so. Well, then. Where are YOU supposed to be?

[he seems a little distant. the prickle of Innocence makes him glance up after a second, though. another not-exorcist.]

I knew someone like you before.

[lastnightswish]

Not here.

[Nope, no Innocence on her at all. Mugen's gone. In a tiny pile of dust in a random gazebo. Her head tilts a little more, and she gives him a once-over, trying to figure him out.]

Did you?

[cracked_crosses]

[no Innocence? odd. he could have sworn-]

Yes. But he was... slightly more volatile, yes he was. You, though, you aren't a he.

[he feels vaguely stupid now. she is probably aware of this, he thinks to himself. he's a little too distracted to be embarrassed, though.]

[silenthistory]

It appears that this isn't the place where any o'us should be. [popping up from behind like all Lavis do]

[cracked_crosses]

[jumps slightly- he's gotten a little more used to people appearing suddenly, so no big reaction]

[...and yeah, he's been hearing that a lot lately.]

Eyepatch boy?

[and now he's mumbling to himself again]

No, not the same, not yet. Looks like him... he's different inside.

[silenthistory]

Are ya ok?

[cracked_crosses]

[this question seems to irritate him slightly.]

And how am I supposed to know?

[really, all he wants is some sleep. or some time. or some quiet. or, you know, something.]
