Lockon... futari? [video/voice]

[fragile_proud]

[Tieria goes into the house, behind him follows a shadowy and taller person. The picture becomes clearer - the other person is a man with brown curly hair and looks very, very familiar. Tieria turns to him and looks strangely content.]This is our apartement. You can look around if you want to, feel free to move around. If you want to stay longer,

[offline filter] YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR TIMEZONES, HAVING THE FUN BEFORE I GET HERE

[naoscaire]

[Sniper is pretty much a dead ringer for Lockon, minus the eyepatch. He has his hands shoved in his pockets as he looks around.]

Not bad digs, all told...heh. I probably can't stay TOO long, I'll get my ass chewed by various people upstairs, but thanks, I appreciate it.

((ooc: COME PLAY WITH MEEEEE.))

[offline filter] I'm sorry! ><

[fragile_proud]

Too long? It... it would be probably just for this week. That's not too long, is it?

[Tieria tugs a bit at his sleeve.]

[offline filter] OH NO you're gonna make him wibble

[naoscaire]

[Sniper blinks, then sighs and produces a rueful smile.]

I do still have to work and whatnot, you know, and B would probably gut me if I was gone too long...why do you want me to stay so badly?

[offline filter] That's such a pity *makes puppy-dog eyes*

[fragile_proud]

You've got work? As what are you working?

I... I enjoy your company, I think.

[Tieria looks at the floor and bites his lower lip.]

[offline filter] ARGH damn puppy dog eyes

[naoscaire]

Hm? Oh, weapons sales and repair. It's a decent living, pays the bills.

[Sniper frowns a touch as Tieria looks down.]

Why are you so fidgety? Talk to me.

[offline filter] Do they make him weak?

[fragile_proud]

So the place you come from seems to have a functioning infrastructure.

I'm talking to you, am I not? It's kind of... hard to explain.

[Tieria continues to stare on the floor.]

[offline filter] Ask B. He goes stupid if he gets the big eyes made at him.

[naoscaire]

Has to, we have to pay to feed ourselves somehow.

Well...try me. You don't need to look down, you know, it's not like I bite.

[offline filter] Who's B than? xD *goes to search*

[fragile_proud]

Well, it's kind of different in this world. Most of here works through trading or getting the food ourselves.

[Tieria looks up a bit, the expression on his face is a bit insecure.]

I doubt you would do that.

[offline filter] That's Bastet. Her whole 'harem' calls her that.

[naoscaire]

Interesting. Whatever works, I suppose; the tree's got a whole economy up and running. There's stuff you can't get, of course -- not very technologically advanced -- but we get by.

[Sniper raises an eyebrow.]

Well, you're being really fidgety and sort of edgy...why? Did I do something weird?

[offline filter] Ah, I see. xD

[fragile_proud]

... and you are really living in a tree? It sounds quite strange to me. In my own world, I used to live in space, though.

[Tieria shakes his head.]

No, you didn't do anything. I guess I just... am quite fond of you.

[offline filter] Most of the rest of the 'harem' consists of gay teenage boys. XD

[naoscaire]

Yeah. Huge huge tree, we live on the branches. It's sort of insane until you see it.

[He looks at Tieria for a long moment, pursing his lips.]

You know...Aurora reacted pretty similarly when I met him. So clearly there's some kind of a connection there. Now I'm curious.

[offline filter] Oh, I see. xD BTW, older!potato is cool with staying here xD

[fragile_proud]

You are right. It sounds rather strange. How huge is that tree?

He did? Perhaps because we are the same person...?

[Tieria looks thoughtful.]

Well, I guess we both like you.

[He smiles a bit.]

[offline filter] Lord, they're all gonna go fzzzzt. XD

[naoscaire]

Big enough that the squirrels and whatnot are bigger than I am?

[Sniper quirks a faint smile.]

I gathered that...now I'm curious as to how.

Re: [offline filter] fzzzzt? XD

[fragile_proud]

Hm... isn't there somewhere a myth with a giant tree? I am not sure if I remember that correctly...

[Tieria tilts his head a bit to the side.]

How we like you? Do you mean how much or how long or how did it come?

[offline filter] Short out and go POOF from too much info. XD

[naoscaire]

Yeah, somewhere, though it's not coming to me immediately.

[Sniper nods.]

All of that.

[offline filter] Now I understand. xD'

[fragile_proud]

I can't remember it clearly, either.

All of it?

[Tieria looks thoughtful for a moment.]

It's kind of heart when you don't remember it, but... I like you very, very much, even though you might not know it. I had always liked you best, but... that it got that much was... it seemed you saw through me.
