[It's been a while since Lenalee has addressed the network. For lack of anything to say that wouldn't be a rehash of what everyone else has already long gone over, maybe. Something like that. There's only so much she can bring up with a group of people she doesn't know or understand, after all ( Read more... )

[Allen simply listens to the feed with something a lot like relief. Of course Lenalee remembers, he's been expecting a broadcast from her all day; but what gets his attention is how she's reaching out to the other residents. Really reaching out, moving beyond answering questions or providing help to learn more about them. Maybe he needn't worry about her so much now.

He almost lets it go unanswered, but changes his mind at the last moment and picks up instead.]

If you do learn any of them [ assuming they'll be on the network for everyone to catch ], I'll try to remember too.

[...Funny how a month later, she still can't bring herself to switch to video for him. Funny as in 'not at all'. She hovers a thumb over the function for a moment, but it's as if there's an invisible vice keeping her from pressing it- she tries but she just can't. Lenalee pinches her brows together, then folds her fingers around the PDA again and lets it be.]

I don't think many people are going to tell me. [Softer, less hoarse:] But... thank you.

[AUDIO; same filter] tothelastbreath August 12 2011, 06:28:45 UTC

[Allen notices this, but decides not to make anything of it. She did start the broadcast as a filtered audio feed, after all, which they're both keeping to. Nothing wrong with that.]

Sounds like you're making a good start, though! [ And he's privately hoping it'll lead to further conversation. Miss Rapunzel in particular may prove to be good company. ] I'm sure more people will respond eventually- It's a nice thing to ask.

[AUDIO; same filter] fallforthesky August 12 2011, 07:36:45 UTC

[Nothing at all! It's that she feels needlessly guilty about keeping to it that's the issue here.

And one person hardly seems like a good start to her, in this eternal state of pessimism, but she gives a halfhearted laugh anyway, saying in the same breath:] Y-Yeah...! Of course. [Though a nice thing to ask doesn't quite prove her worth the same way a helpful thing to volunteer would. The network sees about as much of her as she has to offer to them, in the end.]

There's a world of possibility, isn't there? [Literally, in her case.]

[...]

[Well, he's been meaning to bring up the main point of her broadcast anyway. Might as well steer their conversation that way before it gets more stilted.]

[ without missing a beat: ] Quite! What do you suppose is the possibility of me giving Lavi some birthday doodles [ his tone implies it will be a truly monumental work of vandalism ] without him noticing, then?

[AUDIO; same filter] fallforthesky August 13 2011, 07:13:59 UTC

[She'll latch onto that like so many Black Allen lifelines, laughing too fast again but far more honestly.] Very low, since I have both on the same filter, here.

[AUDIO; same filter] tothelastbreath August 14 2011, 03:11:37 UTC

[A slow-spreading smile on the other end, unseen but clearly heard in his voice.]

[ lightly, with a criminal sort of ease: ] Oh well, suppose I'll just have to―[ and this is usually when grown men go running from gambling dens ]―work around that.

[AUDIO; same filter] fallforthesky August 15 2011, 08:24:42 UTC

[Such a shame that such a tone of voice doesn't do much to teenage, female Exorcists.] Maybe it's best if you let the anticipation of being drawn on do the work for you instead.

[She's not sure she has the energy to mediate a doodle-war.]

[AUDIO; same filter] tothelastbreath August 15 2011, 08:44:11 UTC

[There's no need for mediation of any sort, as there will be no war. Allen intends to stalk right in and conquer.

But perhaps another day.]

Alright, but only because it's his birthday.

[...]

[ a little awkwardly: ] Ah― I'll let you go give him his present, then.

[He doesn't doubt she'll have one ready.]

[AUDIO; same filter] fallforthesky August 16 2011, 05:44:17 UTC

[With weak humour:] Maybe tomorrow?

...Mm. I hope he likes it.

[It makes her feel guilty, in a way, that she hadn't had anything to offer Kanda for his birthday. But having something to give Lavi... it means things are getting better. They have objects to spare now.

Sort of.]

[AUDIO; same filter] tothelastbreath August 16 2011, 15:51:23 UTC

Maybe. There's a world of possibility, right?

[I.e. Start watching your back Lavi, and don't be surprised if you still don't see him coming♥]

I'm sure he will.

[If only because she made the effort to get him something out of nothing. Allen cobbled a gift together too, but he'll wait until Lenalee's done delivering her well-wishes.]

[AUDIO; same filter] fallforthesky August 22 2011, 21:11:22 UTC

[There's a short, quiet huff of breath- Allen might recognize it as a laugh.

Oh, god, Lavi. Run.]

We'll see in a moment, I suppose.

[It's... not quite something out of nothing so much as something out of something else that she'll now have to do without- though if anyone asks, she's fine, really! And currently hoping, perhaps blindly, that nobody will notice or ask until it's too late to properly chide her for it.]
