29th Record [Video]
[Lavi is scowling at a 'berry low on the ground, the sound of chimes being louder than anything else in the picture.]
Damned Tease, wha' tha hell're ya doin here? [The redhead starts to look around for its owner.] Don' tell me Tyki's 'round.
[It lets out a happy chime at having found Lavi, the black butterfly coming into view.]
[somewhere in the distance, Fourteenth perks up at hearing the familiar chiming. of course he has to investigate-- there's only one thing he knows that can make chiming sounds like that and still make sense at the same time.
but from this far away, all he can spot is a head of red hair. can't tell if that's Red or Lavi, but it's worth flagging either of them down.]
Red? Tease?
[It had started flitting towards Lavi, who hefted the hammer up, but at the sound of its master's voice and the song getting closer... Tease lets out a very loud chime that makes even Lavi wince and it starts berating Fourteenth as it flits toward him.
Master! Where was master?! Tease has been looking all over for master ever since not-master said master was here! But all Lavi (and anyone not slightly-insane or musically inclined) hears is a bunch of bells and chimes.]
Goddamned noisemaker. Shaddup afore I smash ya.
I've been stuck here. And lost! [sheepish little smile, holding a hand out for Tease to perch on.] Well, at least the not-me was helpful enough to say I was here. [not that he knows who the not-master is, but, whatever.
cheeky grin and a wave at Lavi. but don't you dare hurt my Tease 8|]
Well, hello again, Lavi~
[The butterfly lands on the offered hand, still bristling at being left and having to find master, yet again, in its nonsensical chimes.
Lavi has shifted to face Fourteenth, his hammer now between the two of them as he examines the newcomer. Definitely not the Fourteenth that seems to be in the normal Allen, a visitor then.]
Tha' thing belongs ta ye? I find it hard ta believe Tyki'd let one o'his Tease go.
I didn't leave on purpose, Tease. [melodramatic sigh and eyeroll. would poke Tease on the head, but....... lacks the other hand to do so with.
shifts a bit, but doesn't otherwise shirk at the presence of Innocence. it's unpleasant, but bearable.]
Mine and only mine~ I highly doubt Tyki would let one go, either-- voluntarily, that is.
[Yes, master did! Always does! Oh, yes. That lack of the other arm. It does finally register with the Bookman Jr, eye straying to it.]
...Wha'? Ya killed'im ta get one? [Doesn't sound sad by that thought at all.]
[askdjfas] Sorry! I'll try not to leave you again~ [curling hand a bit so he can use his thumb to pet Tease instead. multitasking, hellyeah.]
Hm? Oh, no, I'm not sure I could accomplish such a thing. [maybe.] I stole it~
[The Tease disappears from view, flitting toward Fourteenth's pocket after the petting. It won't get separated in his pocket.
Lavi snorts.] I somehow doubt tha', Fourteenth. Killin family don' seem like somethin ye'd abstain from.
[hiding in the pocket is a good idea! just don't get squished between the random miscellaneous things he has stuffed in them.]
I'd like to refrain from it if there's a healthier alternative. ['healthier' being used in a loose sense, of course.]
[It won't~ ...Why is there a Pez dispenser in here?]
Ya won' mind if I don' believe tha', yeah? 'm no' in tha habit o'believin Noah.
[He's already talked to Redteenth about this and that odd Tyki.]
[because it has a donald duck head and it's useful for distraction. just put rocks in and dispense. :>]
Well, that's fine. It'd be a problem if you believed Noahs anyway.
[but, y'know, it'll be your fault in the end if you don't believe it. :>]
[Lavi snorts.] I already don' trust ya.
[Nodding at Fourteenth's missing arm.] Wha' happened? Ya finally get tired o'tha' Innocence?
And I already said that's fine~
... [c'mon brain, make up a good excuse.] I suppose you could say that~ It's hard living with Innocence attached to your body, you know.
Wouldn't know a thing 'bout it, seein as mine ent attached.
That could be easily fixed. [:D totes not a creepy smile.]
[...Right. Sure. Lavi tightens his grip on the hammer, pulling it up a little more.]
Don' even think 'bout it, Noah.
[laughs, putting hands up in defense.]
Kidding, kidding~ You wouldn't want to be that close to your Innocence anyway, would you, Bookman?
Don' mean 'm gonna let ya take it 'nd destroy it, either. Ent gonna Fall.
I won't try~ That causes too much trouble, in any case. [especially when we're stuck in the same city.]
Certainly'd clear yer family out with ye hardly havin ta lift a finger, wouldn' it? [Yes, well, that does come in to play as well.]
Oh, but they're not my family to clear out~
Like it'd actually matter? They'll all come back anyway.
I wouldn't get any satisfaction out of killing them, so there's really no point in it.
[Gives him a 'yeah, right' sort of look.] Somehow 'm doubtin ye'd do it fer tha satisfaction.
Why else would I do it? [Lavi you confuse me.]
So tha only reason yer killin yer family, er want ta kill'em, is fer satisfaction? [:D Gotta get facts straight somehow.]
I don't want to kill my family. [just Earl. :|a vague answers are vague and probably not relevant to Lavi's own Fourteenth.]
Could've fooled me. Then wha's tha plan? Jus' kill those tha' get on yer last nerve?
Try to kill them. But, yes, that's pretty much it~ Though, only as a last resort. Family is still family, after all.
Sounds ta me like ya don' have much purpose in yer own life. Tha's gotta suck, yeah? [Him? Push buttons? Pshaw~]
Bingo~ [pulls out Tease and shakes it. ding ding ding~ :D]
But there's nothing wrong with just living, is there?
[him? let his buttons be pressed? ...pshawkindof.]
Wha'? Don' wanna make an impact on tha world?
[skdlhglw Tease is not a bell! It lets out a rather loud noise, like a big gong being hit. Lavi winces, glaring at Fourteenth anew.]
Did ya have ta do tha'?
Killing the Earl is a big enough impact on its own. [humms.
...ow my ears. sorry Tease, we're going to annoy Lavi some more. :|a]
Of course I did~ [shaking more, but not as hard this time.]
'nd leave tha rest o'em free ta do wha' they wa-- [Tease is gong-ing again in attempt to get Fourteenth to knock it off.
It doesn't want to annoy Lavi! Tease wants to go home!]
Damnit! Knock it off, yeah?!
I don't particularly care much what they do. [except when it involves certain people. shrugs.
...fine :c lets Tease go.] Sorry, Tease, but we're stuck here. We can't leave.
[Tease flits away from Fourteenth, still keeping somewhat near but out of reach.]
Yer both gonna be gone by tha end o'tha week anyway. [Hopefully. He doesn't know why you're still here, actually.
But Tease's loud gong noises have already drawn the attention of a rather large group of slavers. The feed picks up one walking over the 'berry and toward the two.]
... Now look wha' ya did. Damn bastard. [Lavi shifts his stance to face the slavers.]
[watches Tease for a bit, somewhat ignoring Lavi.
back to where he was before? that sounds like a great thing! this place is starting to not be very fun anymore.
...uh-oh. might be shifting a little closer to Lavi, turning to face them as well.] Trouble?
[At least you get to leave, he's still stuck wherever in space the Facility is.
What? The big, bad Noah is scared? He's not going to help you any.]
Slavers. They ent nice.
[A cloth drops on the 'berry, obscuring the feed. Cue fight noises?]
[leave, only to be stuck somewhere else. ah well, you can't have everything.
not scared! just. worried. strange people. 8| strange people that even Lavi seems concerned about.]
Suppose this will be fun, then? [laughing as the cloth covers the berry. cue fight noises! explosions! and.... collateral damage? because Fourteenth's not going down without a fight.]
[...Why wouldn't Lavi be worried about these guys?
Lavi's reply of "Depends on yer definition" gets lost in the fighting. And Fourteenth isn't alone in knocking down a few of them.
Still, it's rather quiet when the cloth is picked back up. Lavi being hauled off unconscious and a bit battered.
Tease is chiming angrily at the slavers, demanding that they let Lavi and Fourteenth go.]
[.......idk. :|a
clearly they can't take down enough of them.
Fourteenth has his own set of injuries, since he doesn't get knocked out as easily. there's a good amount of blood mixed in with his hair, and with his skin tone-- it's hard to tell if he's dead or alive.
he wants to tell Tease to run. leave. go. but that's all lost in his head at the moment as he's being dragged off as well.]
[Tease starts to go and get help, but alas, it's nabbed in a glass jar just at the edge of the feed which slowly times out.]
[[ooc; Lengthy post with guest appearances by 14th_rhapsody and gnawingtease. Lavi is red and Fourteenth is gray. Tease's italics can be understood by the slightly-insane or musically inclined. 14th's mun and I tend to...uh...ramble in action brackets, sorry. xD But all three are now kidnapped. P:]]
