020 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[alma_karma]

[Alma's standing outside the apartment building, eyes focused on the sky above him. A fine layer of white has settled into his dark hair and, after a moment of confused blinking, he lifts a hand to catch some of the strange flakes falling from the sky, eyebrows furrowing when they smear in his grip rather than melting.]

It's not snow...

Try not to breathe it in too much, Alma. I have a bit of my scarf you can wrap around your nose and mouth if you have to go outside. Dampen it first with water and keep it damp.

[alma_karma]

[Still blinking curiously at the falling ash.]

... What is it?

[looseleafbook]

It's ash like from a fire. It can hurt your lungs if you breathe it in for a while.

[alma_karma]

[He nods, but then looks troubled.]

You think there's a fire somewhere?

[looseleafbook]

No, there's no fire. I went out already and looked for it. But I'm going out again in case I missed it.

[alma_karma]

Oh, good. [He looks relieved and slowly starts to make his way inside.]

[looseleafbook]

You want to go with me when I head straight up to the cloud level?

[alma_karma]

... Cloud level? [Does that mean what he thinks it means?]

[looseleafbook]

Yep. [Hammer time! Dun dundun dun.] You just have to ask Yu first, alright?

[alma_karma]

... [8DDDDDD]

Okay!

[looseleafbook]

[Grins.]

Alright, I'll give you a buzz later when I'm going out.
