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.

[Slides to the ground, breathing ragged, trying to get over that. Oh god.

Shiver shiver.]

[fononfailure]

[ O-oops. Maybe that was a bit much. She crouches down to his level and offers an apologetic smile. ]

Sorry... Want me to get you a glass of water? Something to eat?

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[He makes a noise and skids away a little more.]

W-Why are you a...why are you a girl?

[fononfailure]

[ That earns a bit of a hurt look, though she glances down, patting her washboard chest. ]

You can't even tell... It wasn't supposed to come out like this! There was a mistake somewhere along the way...

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

WELL. I wasn't expecting you be a girl! It's not like... [Stare.]

[fononfailure]

I know. It's not every day your best friend suddenly turns into what you're scared of. I really am sorry, Guy. That was an asshole move on my part.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[His best friend is a girl. What's he supposed to do now?

Take a deep breath.]

How did - Why are you a girl?

[fononfailure]

[ Good place to start. Now the question is, where should she. ]

...a slight mishap? Making your own fonic glyphs from scratch isn't easy, from what I gather.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

Why were you... What...were you...?!

[fononfailure]

You don't really think I could figure out even basic fonic artes without years of practice, do you? Asch did all the research, but my money is on Lorelei not getting it right.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

And turned you into a girl.

[fononfailure]

Not 'turned' so much as 'made'. Not counting the whole girl thing, he did a great job!

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

So you've...always been...a girl.

[How was that - what was...?]

...how did I ever survive?

[fononfailure]

If only. It would've been easier if I had been.

[ This is proof that Luke fails at explaining things and hence why Guy usually gets the job. Just as a test, she scoots a few inches closer. ]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Freezes.]

[fononfailure]

[ Not going to sulk. Not going to sulk... POUTS. ]

Are you even listening, Guy?

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

I'm trying - it's just - you...

[fononfailure]

I'm won't touch you if that's what you're worried about! Though it might be good therapy.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

It's - it's still nothing personal. It's just -

[Ngh, why is Luke female?]

[fononfailure]

I'm a girl. I know. But there wasn't much of a choice.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

There's...not much of a choice here either. [He's still staring at you. He's trying, but...female. It's difficult.]

[fononfailure]

[ Oh, Guy. Where's your usual sense of tact? ] ...would it help you focus if I told you I'm twenty-three?

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[What.] WHY?

[This place - this is so confusing! He's not just a girl - Luke, that is - but he - she's also twenty-three? What is going on?]

[fononfailure]

Because it's been that long for me?

[ And here Luke was trying to be kind by working up from the lesser brainbreak... ]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Guy lets out a breath and just...sort of puts his head in his hands.]

Lay it on me, Luke. What else is there about you that I don't know?
