[One might be outside or catching a glimpse of the scenery through the window. But wait, Wasn't it bright and sunny just a moment before? The clouds have rolled in blocking out the golden rays, but they can't obscure them completely. The area is left in a haze of oranges and golds as if a fog had settled in. The door just passed by? Gone. The

[The shrieks and scratching and cries are cut off by the sound of a voice scolding someone. All exasperation and sharp tones and the occasional long drawn out sigh]

No, you petulant child-

[The sounds of someone slipping, falling, clawing at someone. Something]

See my point.

[For anyone who wishes to approach, they will find themselves staring at not one Lavi, but two. One is garbed in the third Exorcist uniform in a heap on the piles of leaves, practically glaring at the other Lavi. Said other Lavi is looking terrible bored as he holds Lavi's hammer over his shoulder and out of the other's reach]

You're in no condition to wield this right now.

[solo_insanity]

[The voice echo their words. A bit distorted, of course. It might be a bit maddening to not only be with yourself, but to hear the echo of both voices.

The leaves settle around them and there is something glinting off the sun up ahead on the path. A mirror? A shiny token? Hard to say what it is?]

[besomeothername]

[The Apprentice glares at Lavi, practically snapping the next sentence]

Don't touch anything in here, fool. You don't know what-

[But Lavi's already reaching for it. Out of spite, out of annoyance, out of any number of emotions that were too hard to keep still in his skull in this strange place. If the Apprentice didn't like it, then it must be a good thing. Something that could help him. Something that could help him get out of here so he could wake up next to Allen. Have lunch with Yupunzel. Check up on Yuu-bird. All those things he couldn't do stuck here in this ... whatever it was]

[It was a placard rusted with age, but still held enough shiny edges to reflect the light.

Lavi - the 49th Alias
Rest in Peace

1/2

[besomeothername]

[Lavi looks ill when he sees it, positively green as he swallows the bile that is rising in the back of his throat. He sits there staring at it, wanting to look away but unable to. This wasn't- this couldn't-]

[besomeothername]

[Until a hand comes smacking him upside the head as strong and sharp as any the old Panda could shell out. With an exasperated sigh, the Apprentice kicks the leaves back over the offending placard]

I told you not to touch anything.

[solo_insanity]

[The metal still shines brightly even covered by leaves as it is. Though all around them nooses start to hang down from the trees. Empty nooses, but they seem to be looking for someone as they sway in the breeze.]

[besomeothername]

[The Apprentice hauls Lavi up to his feet and starts dragging him through the forest, trying to keep him as far away from those nooses as humanly possibly]

I wasn't hired on to be your babysitter. Now hurry up. The longer we stay here, the longer Dreams will have to plot something ridiculous and stupid.

[Lavi blindly nods, happy to go on autopilot for this brief period of time and let the Apprentice take care of things. It's rather simple for him to do in fact. Proof that this isn't the first time something like this has happened]

[solo_insanity]

[The dead hanging bodies soon gives way to a sea of skulls. Tacky? Yes. But they get thicker and thicker until there is no avoiding walking upon them. It is tricky business not falling, but the pair manages.

If they continue to walk on up ahead, there will be a dais and a chair or maybe a throne made of stone. Unpolished and rough it seems to have been withered by the long years of time. But a simple throne itself wouldn't be as interesting if someone wasn't sitting in it. It was a Tyki of some manner. Long coat and short hair, but he was hardly aware of their presence. In fact, he wasn't much aware of anything at all sitting with his upper body slumped over one arm of the chair.]

[besomeothername]

[The Apprentice sighs a great sigh as he is prone to do and shoves Lavi in Tyki's general direction]

Wonderful. Mr. All of the Above is having some stupid relapse and we're all caught up in it. Go and wake him up before he starts daydreaming about something even worse.

[And Lavi does as he's told, going up to Tyki and giving his shoulders a hard shake]

Uh, Tyki, this isn't the best place to be catching a nap.

[solo_insanity]

[He doesn't wake on the first pass of shaking. There is a dark, wet spot on the back of his head as if he's been clocked over with something.

But do you have time to inspect it. The skulls from the floor begin to rise one by one. They don't charge at either Lavi, but speak a single word a piece. Their name. Again and again.

As more and more skulls rise the sound in the room become defeating. Aren't you supposed to be recording all this? The history? The war?

[besomeothername]

[The Apprentice reaches for one of those skulls, holding it up in a very Hamlet like fashion as he starts speaking to it]

Oh dear... [Pauses as he tries to figure out who's skull it could be. Ah, probably a-] Lenalee, what do you think I'm doing?

All your complaints should be redirected at this failure though, if you're not a fan of my records.

[Tosses the skull at Lavi who was already looking rather pale from the ominous chanting. Looks even more pale as he catches it and realizes who it probably belongs to]

[solo_insanity]

[Half the floor had risen at this point all turning to face the pair chanting. Chanting. They seem not pleased with the offering of either men and their eyes start to glow red. Bones that weren't on the ground before start to rise as well. Arms and legs and ribs and all the making of a skeletal army.

Have fun with that, boys.]

[besomeothername]

[The Apprentice sighs with a decidedly bored look]

Really, Dressing Room. It's not even October. Don't get ahead of yourself.

[With a flick of his wrist the hammer is in one hand and being swung in a graceful controlled arc, far more graceful than whenever Lavi has the hammer. With it comes the faint green glow of the Wood Seal and the much more violent gusts of a whirlwind picking up. Yes, picking up that skeletal army and tossing it over his shoulder like yesterday's newspaper]

[solo_insanity]

[The bones and skulls go flying around them spinning and caught by the wind. It is eerie almost being in the center of that. With all those red eyes staring at them as they spin. Now, how do you plan on getting out?

The ground below the bones looks like the dais they are standing on. Stone. Aged by time.]

[besomeothername]

[The Apprentice would argue that he's getting out by way of his Innocence's fire seal. Just another tap and that whirlwind is going to become red hot as the fire easily eats the oxygen all the way to the last skull and cross bone. And while it's true that the fire may not be hot enough to burn all of it to ash, it can still get the vast majority]

[And that's good enough for him for the time being]
