[Week 5, Day 5][Video]

[There is a dark skinned, dark haired person tapping the Hitomi screen, far too close up for anything more than the detail of an eyebrow and some of a forehead visible. The voice is deep and masculine, a little bemused

[ Normally, Madara might feel light-hearted enough to tease, or perhaps even play a little game. But these past few days without Izuna have been anything but normal. ]

How unfortunate. You've been imprisoned by the gods with the rest of us.

[Video]

[cardio_swindle]

...Is that you, cow? No?

[The man comes from around the cow, he's wearing a long white tunic that shows off a nasty set of scars, his unruly black hair tied back in a ponytail as he crouches in front of the device and looks down at it, not picking it up.]

Then you, device? Ah and I thought I'd still be on the last assignment.

[He rubs the back of his neck, looking a little puzzled. The whole imprisoned by gods thing doesn't seem to have sunk in.]

[parousian]

Tch. Have you no eyes?

[ Because this little device has a screen, and on this screen is Madara, looking rather surly and quite unhappy. He is not sure what compelled him to respond to this newcomer. Perhaps it was the cow. ]

[Tyki just sort of smiles at the screen, still not picking it up. As far as he's concerned Madara is actually about two inches big and lives in the device. Considering he carries a playing card with a small, noisy prisoner inside it telling him to delete Allen Walker, it's not a big leap.]

Well then, do you have a name? And what's all this god business? I was a little busy.

[Good morning. Is it time already to seek entertainment at the expense of others?]

You'd better give it what's in your pockets. That's probably a god cow.

[cardio_swindle]

[It does appear to be that time.]

...Ah? Another fairy. [He scratches his head and squints at the screen.] A god cow, hm? I'm afraid I don't have any fit offerings for gods on me.

It must like you.

[Tyki glances at the cow, then back at the screen.]

How can you tell?

[shiftingtruths]

It's not kicking you, is it?

[That was strange. Timcanpy had suddenly became agitated, demanded attention, and spit up that series of videos from the network.

Allen had watched with very blank eyes. This was of all people... Tyki Mikk...?

Of all people.

OF ALL PEOPLE.

Allen probably looks quite wide-eyed and speechless. If dry mouths had an expression it was this. He's not been here long, but enough to comprehend the slim chance of meeting anyone he knows. For this to be Tyki... even though he hasn’t seen him since that new form of his. We was more human again then?

And the cows kind of make it worse.

Well, it's inconceivable. Yet mentally grimacing, a myriad of frowns on his face with some nondescript interior of a house in the background, he stares and motions through the images and previous videos on the hologram his golem is showing. This is so like Tyki though, even if he doesn't recognize that outfit he's in. What's it supposed to be, anyway?But Timcanpy is suddenly apologetic, and Allen jerks back in surprise and mild horror at the hiccupped look

[Tyki's still trying to figure out how to access the damn map Madara mentioned. Really it's all sort of a bother, but it's better than trying to make conversation with the cow.]

[So when Allen's face appears on screen he watches with a raised eyebrow, an amused look in his eyes. Cheerful, friendly, his usual mix of perfectly congenial and benign expression with something utterly cruel and dark just below the surface.]

[He has no idea why Allen's here, in a world he assumes isn't really real, but maybe the Exorcist will be his key out of this place. He still hasn't mastered the whole on and off features, so he speaks even after the device cuts off on Allen's end.]

So you're here as well, lad. Been angering gods, lately?

[Private Video]

[whitenighting]

[There is a rather long lag in response, perhaps like he was thinking hard about the merits of it, before there is another video from Allen. This time he is more clearly front and center in the image. It's private since he's learned how to do that and adamant on not letting the world see him and Tyki talk. Timcanpy is also learning to perform as a cameraman better, but still with the occasional twitch.

Allen looks displeased though, to say the least. He does, however, get a faint... anti-grin. A little sardonic after he's had time to process this beyond the initial shock/horror at least.

He's a nice person, but seriously. Tyki was here.

Allen can't not find the imaginably unjust humor in that. But Tyki can't actually hurt or kill him at the moment and Allen feels he should keep tabs on him. Someone he should probably never respond to, but there's a needling.]

I suppose I am. I'm a bit surprised to see you here like this, Tyki Mikk.

[Private Video]

[cardio_swindle]

Really? But we were just together, boy.

[Tyki settles himself down on a rock, nudging the cow away with a boot shoving the creature's shoulder. He has no idea their conversation is filtered, though he might be glad of it later, when he realizes this is no illusion.]

[Whatever he might feel for Allen, anger, resentment, obsession, amusement, all or none of the above, it's not apparent on his face. He just looks vaguely friendly, smiling without a hint of his desire to kill in his face. But then, he was always good at acting the part of silly and easy-going, right up until things get deadly serious.]

I don't suppose you're going to tell me the cow is a god or that we're doomed to spend eternity here, are you?
