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.

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.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Very much.

Only, no, not really. At least he goes on before Guy can line-face at him.]

...a nexus. [He sighs.] I'm guessing there's no way home?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Not that I've heard... but, uh, apparently if you go back, it's like time didn't pass back home, or something. I don't really get it myself.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[He sighs.

Takes a breath. Sighs again.]

Well. That's...interesting. And here I thought it'd actually be an interesting way to pass the time.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Uh huh. You couldn't just take up knitting?

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Have a Look.]

S'not like there's anything fun to do in Malkuth. [Not alone anyway.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

You're there too? I dunno, it's way better than being stuck in the manor...

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Guy's lips tug up a little and he shrugs.]

I don't know about that.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

What's so bad about it? [tilts his head]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

It's kind of lonely without you around, brat.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Don't call me a - !

[...oh]

I'm not with you? But - we are, back home...

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Guy glances away and shakes his head.]

Nah, you're safely home.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

But home kinda is Malkuth. For now, anyway.

You... you could visit? Well, unless you're wanted in Kimlasca over there too.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.] Nah, but we agreed we'd all...try and do stuff and... well. It's only been a few weeks. [But it's lonely without anyone he knows.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[he's just going to narrow his eyes at Guy, then offer him a bit of a smile] I always knew you'd be totally useless without me around.

[we'll conveniently forget who taught who to walk]

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[How convenient.

Let's also not mention who taught you all kinds of other things, Luke.

He snorts.]

It's because I don't have to run around making sure you don't get into trouble. After all those years, some things become habit.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[pfft, details]

Heh. Yeah? Then what does it matter if it's just been a few weeks? Go find me anyway. Or bring me to Malkuth. I haven't seen all that much of it, really.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Guy smiles a little and nods.]

I...will. Soon. But your mother probably misses you and... well. I wouldn't want to tear you away from her quite yet.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Mother, huh? [he looks a little wistful] I guess. But you won't be of use to anybody if you pine away to nothing, so don't wait too long.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a soft laugh and kind of gives Luke a small smile.] When'd you get all wise in the way of the world, huh?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[he snorts] I was always awesome. You just never noticed. [pause] No, wait, you better have noticed.

[theawesomeguy.livejournal.com]

[Guy looks back innocently.]

What's this awesome you speak of?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[have the patented Luke whine]

Hey! Guuuuuuy -
