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.

Oh, like best friends? [ Naive derp is naive. ]

[hymnotic]

Mm, well... well, to be a bit more accurate, he's my boyfriend.

[prismshards]

...

[ He needs a moment to process this. ]

...oh. That's, um... Different. Congrats?

[hymnotic]

Thanks. [ But he can't help but notice his other self's reaction. ] ...Does it bother you or something?

[prismshards]

Huh? [ Cue flailing as he scratches the back of his head. ] No, not at all! I'm happy for you, really!

[hymnotic]

Well, if you're sure. You just seem uncomfortable is all.

[prismshards]

I-I'm not. Never gave much thought to that kinda thing, yeah? Everyone was expecting me to marry Natalia, then with stopping Master Van...

[hymnotic]

Mm, true. But that was years ago for me.

[prismshards]

Oh, it would be, wouldn't it... And you guys wouldn't be close to the others in age anymore... [ His brain. It is broken and in dire need of duct tape. ]

[hymnotic]

...You sure you're alright?

[prismshards]

[ Luke's question goes unanswered, as he seems absorbed in whatever thoughts are racing through his mind. ] ...can I ask you something personal?

[hymnotic]

Huh? Oh, uh... sure, go ahead. [ Luke's kind of wondering what could be more personal than revealing he's dating his original. ]

[prismshards]

H-have you ever... I mean, you and Asch-- [ How about asking for details of said relationship? ]

[hymnotic]

Huh? [ Look, it's years later, but Luke is still a little inexperienced in the ways of the world, so he doesn't quite get the implication of the half-asked question. ]

[prismshards]

You two are an item, right? So I thought you might know what it's like to... [ Then they're both about on the same level, as he's making a vague gesture with both hands that may or may not be indicative of more risque activities. ]

[hymnotic]

[ Luke blinks in confusion. Really, he doesn't get it. ] To...?

[prismshards]

[ They're a new show: Derp and Derpier. Luke makes one last attempt at communicating his question by placing thumb and forefinger together, then putting his other forefinger through the hole. Sad part is, he's not asking what most would assume. ]

[hymnotic]

[ Luke turns a brilliant shade of red at that gesture; what the hell else could he be asking about?! ] N-no, we haven't done anything like that!

[prismshards]

[ Other orifices and what goes in them, of course! Not that he realizes there's more two people can do, so Luke's reaction startles him into flailing. He just doesn't know what to call it! ] S..sorry! I knew I shouldn't have asked, but Guy said it was a token of affection between lovers...

[hymnotic]

That is way more than just a token of affection... j-jeez... the most we've ever done is...

[prismshards]

E-eh? Even if Guy sucks with girls, I thought he'd know... Hm? Done what...? [ Good job, Luke, you've made him curious. ]

[hymnotic]

...

[prismshards]

...o-oh, I'm sorry! It's none of my business! Forget I even brought it up!

[hymnotic]

The most we've done is kissed...

[prismshards]

Y..yeah? But not like...? [ There's that wiggly motion with his fingers again. No, he hasn't a clue that french kissing has a name. ]
