The apocalypse is nigh!

[mieudesuno.livejournal.com]

Asch agreeing to a drink with Emperor Peony? Luke studying more or less willingly? Asch chuckling? Uncle Jade?

It would appear Abyss Dressing Room has inexplicably stumbled upon the four signs of the apocalypse. This must explain why there is suddenly a horde of monsters poised to attack. Redheads! Denizens! Defend your nexus!

...Just be careful with those artes. Looks like the apocalypse is a lot fuzzier and noisier than anticipated. As such, every arte used spawns at least two dozen cheagles. And Mystic Artes spawn about fifty.

Good luck. And welcome to Luke's Asch's anyone who isn't Tear or Ion's hell.

Guy!

I dunno, there are worse things. [it's his first time seeing cheagles after all, his annoyance threshold hasn't quite been surpassed... yet]

HI!

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, Luke!]

Oh? I thought you'd be punting at least one of them away by now!

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[Yay a familiar face who's not himself or a jerk \o/]

Punting? [he's holding one hapless cheagle by the ears actually, he looks curiously at it then down at his feet, considering]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Punting. Bye bye cheagle...

[He gestures vaguely.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Huh... well, okay. [yeah, Luke's taking that as a suggestion. There goes the cheagle. Do you feel bad, Guy?]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

... [His mouth is still open, trying to stop you, Luke.] Ah...I didn't mean you should... [And now the other cheagles are cussing him out. Loudly. Or he thinks they're cussing him out.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[hey, you of all people should know Luke's at an impressionable age right now] What?

[he's looking down at the swarm of angry cheagles mieu-ing at their feet with a scowl] Man, these things kind of are a pain...

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

Ahhh... Yeah. Uh. Let's not do that again. [They look like they're going to try to bite them to death. Or swarm them. Or something.] Maybe we should...go...

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[what's with that reaction, Guy, you're the one who suggested it :| But getting out of here seems like a pretty good idea] Ugh, fine.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Stares. And then nods, grabs Luke's hand and runs.]

I didn't suggest it! I said that's what you'd normally do.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Whoa - ! [and off they go, with angry cheagles trailing behind. Luckily those things don't run... or bounce... or whatever it is they do... very fast]

Obviously it's not! This is the first time I've even seen these stupid things!

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

What?! How's that possible? [Looks like they're finally cheagle-free. They come to a stop and he looks around.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

What's so impossible about it? [if Guy wants to notice more than the surroundings, he might notice that Luke's hair is dyed brown and his clothes are in Malkuth styles and one day his icons will reflect this when i know wtf i'm doing]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[He's been busy with cheagles. And turning up in strange places and...]

Wait, Luke? What is...why is your hair...and your clothes...?!

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

What - oh. So you're not... [Luke's kind of disappointed that it's not the Guy that he knows who showed up, don't mind him if he gets curt]

No one gave you the grand explanation of this place yet?

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

Nope. Appeared here and suddenly - cheagles!

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[Uhhh how did that explanation go again] It's a... Asch called it a nexus. Apparently there are a lot of people here from different Auldrants or... whatever? And sometimes things happen differently, I guess.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

...and..why are you wearing that? And why is your hair brown?

[Nexus... yeah, okay, that was kind of confusing so he's just going to focus on one thing at a time.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[y'know, he's as narcissistic as the next person, but Luke's pretty sure 'nexus of parallel worlds' is more noteworthy than his hair]

[And he's not really sure how much to tell Guy, so this is gonna be awkward] Uh, weee're kinda hid - hanging in Malkuth for a while, and it's not like I can do that with red hair, so - [shrug!]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

...and why are we hiding in Malkuth? [More and more suspicious. What is this strange nexus he's stuck in and why... He really doesn't understand it.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

I didn't say we were hiding!

Uhh well . So what's up with you, Guy? I haven't seen you since I got stuck here.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

You implied it!

And what? No, don't try to get that past me by asking how I am.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Father and Uncle were gonna use me to start a war! And what, I can't ask how my best friend is doing now?

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

You were mumbling! And trying to hide things from me and... [He sighs softly.]

I'm fine. I just got here so confused as heck, but I'm fine.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

I'll mumble if I want to! [did you miss Luke's irrational fits of temper, Guy? Did you?]

This damn place is pretty confusing. [pause] Uh, but that's - good. That you're - yeah.
