[Video: week 14, day 4]

[There is a dark skinned, dark haired man staring at a cow on the Hitomi's screen. He looks from the cow, to the Hitomi, and back again. There's a herd of cattle actually, and the man is standing among them wearing a rather revealing white tunic and black pants. His arms are crossed

[Yeah this is, uh... Interesting. And very... unexpected.

Lavi has seen Tyki's first arrival by now, and really, cows again? Wonder why they like him so much. Or maybe it's just coincidence.

But the weird thing is...

Oi, isn't this place supposed to be kind of wrecked? Like, all of it? That's... wrong. Weird. Uh.

He rubs his temples. Awesome, just great, more Noah. Just what they need. For a moment, he considers not replying because he's had enough of this damn family this week, thanks, but eventually he does take the Hitomi of his wrist to show his face.

His rather ruffled and not-so-happy-looking face.]

So you're back.

[And apparently have no memory of ever disappearing.]

[cardio_swindle]

[Oh he recognizes you! From the train, the Ark, and so on. That young Bookman fellow. But... Last he checked it was only Legs and the cheating lad.]

My my, when did you get here, Eyepatch?

[And why is he saying back? Tyki's pretty sure he's never left.]

[There's a moo at his elbow and he blinks down at a bovine nudging him before he steps out of the cow's path to better clover.] Oi now, no shoving.

[Video]

[mistyredhead]

[Well, that confirms that. Tyki really doesn't recall having left. So that's how it goes around here then.]

Several weeks ago. Ya've been gone for a while, y'know.

[...really, this image. The cows and... It's almost hilarious, except he doesn't feel like laughing at Noah. Especially not after...

Well, he's quite bitter...]

[Video]

[cardio_swindle]

Really Eyepatch, you and the lad are going to have to try harder if you want to confuse me. I'm not so old I'm going senile, you know.

Keep this up and you'll hurt my feelings.

[The way he sulks hardly seems menacing. Not a man who's tried to murder Allen three or four times, here. Really.]

[Video]

[mistyredhead]

Oh, I sure hope that doesn't happen.

[Sarcasm, he has it.]

I dunno, ya seemed kinda outta it last time I saw ya; I wouldn't be surprised if ya've actually gone senile.

[Video]

[cardio_swindle]

[He'd say the same for you, Red. Except he was sort comatose at the time Road and you have fun.]

Come to think of it I do rather distinctly recall throwing you off a cliff. You do seem remarkably recovered.

[Video]

[mistyredhead]

[He guesses a Noah would see that as "fun".]

Don't take the credit for that; the Ark was crumbling. Turns out that doesn't really kill ya, though. I think it rather takes ya to another dimension or somethin'.

[Video]

[cardio_swindle]

[Fun right up with mass murder and organ removal.]

Sounds a bit complicated. [And therefor, not of interest to him. You can keep your odd dimensions and whatnot.]

[Video]

[mistyredhead]

[Exactly. Interesting people, that. Scarily human. It's a sad thing.]

Only if ya decide ta complicate it yourself.

[Which he's actually pretty good at, but the whole dimension thing is something you kind of have to end up accepting.]

[Video]

[cardio_swindle]

[Hey now, he considers himself human. He just happens to admire the creative ways humans get up to torturing and maiming each other. It's practically an art.]

[And he's used to dimensions, the Ark, Road's doors, this place. But he's never gotten lost between them before.]

Don't happen to remember what happened to you there, do you?

[Video]

[mistyredhead]

[...an art, perhaps, but horrible nonetheless and surely not anything to be proud of. Ugh.

Blank look.]

Even if I did why would I share it with you?
