[What's that heavenly smell? It's your favorite food in the whole world, and it's coming from just beyond that doorway. In fact, there's a feast laid out. Surely it can't hurt to find that one thing
( Read more... )
[She's not happy at all. Not at all. The promised feast beyond that doorway has betrayed her horribly, and she glares at it, even despite how lovely and delicious it looks.
Her badges include "drowned at sea", "turned into an Akuma", "wearing dead brother's body", "killed people", "really a girl", "had arm amputated", "lesbian", and also more bizarre ones such as "turned into a robot shark", "ate an egg baby", and "got jealous of a pet wolf-cat". And "forehead used as an ash-tray".
Maybe she can hide under the table, if she gets there quickly enough. She makes a dash for it.]
[It is not to be so! Lenalee's making a distracted beeline for the exit, her head down as she messes with her more incriminating badges, and... well. She essentially walks right into Robin.]
[She stops, worried she might have somehow stabbed Lenalee on the safety-pin part of the badges; she doesn't trust them all not to have the sharp bits loose]
Oh, no, I'm fine, don't worry! Are you? I didn't mean to run into you, I was just... [Distracted by the badges, which is sort of happening again, only this time she's looking at Robin's Akuma-related ones.]
[The "wearing dead brother's body" badge has grabbed her attention well enough, but she blanches when Robin speaks and looks away from it. She looks a little perturbed, but luckily, she's more-or-less reminded of Chomesuke.]
...Yes. These badges make it so hard to keep things secret, don't they?
[Her eyes light on the "attempted suicide" badge on Lenalee, but she doesn't say anything about it. Right now she's just happy not to be on the receiving end of a kick from the Dark Boots.]
They do, but... don't people know about you being an Akuma?
[A slight note of unease there. Maybe Robin isn't the Exorcist Akuma that she'd heard about from Allen. She certainly doesn't recognize the coat she's wearing, but... How many modified Akuma are in the DR?]
I am. You heard about me? [Her eyes widen for a moment, but then she relaxes a little, smiling.] I...do have some friends who know about me, so one of them must have told you. It's not something I tell everyone.
Ah! That's good. [She pauses for a second] You...probably find it odd having an Akuma being an Exorcist, don't you? But Akuma have a large stake in the fight against the Earl. All the Akuma out there are relying on Exorcists to save them.
Anti-Akuma weapons are different in my world than in the ones where it's called Innocence, in a few ways. At least...if it's called Innocence, then Master never said so. But I don't see why Akuma shouldn't be able to use them, even in worlds like yours.
[Tilts her head at the mention of 'Master'.] W-well, not many Akuma in my world are modified, and I don't know if the Earl would want them to be equipped with Anti-Akuma weapons.
[She goes quiet, thinking on the Third Exorcists she met briefly before coming to the DR.] ...It wouldn't be the strangest thing I've seen, though.
It's hard not to see strange things, in this place. [She puts a hand behind her head, laughing a little.] Then...if anything comes up for all the Exorcists in the Dressing Room, I look forward to working with you, Lenalee.

Ah.

[She smiles a bright and somewhat panicked smile, having no idea which ones Lenalee might have seen so far.]
Please, don't even bother looking at the badges on me. They're really...silly.

You're a modified Akuma?

D-don't worry, he told me you're an Exorcist...

I-- I know. I have to remember that all Akuma were loved ones at one time. They're victims of this war as much as anyone else.
I didn't know an Akuma could be compatible with Innocence, though...
