013 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[The feed is turned accidentally by a squeeze of small fingers, and a slowly bobbing view of the apartment building is visible. Alma trudges through the light rain, taking refuge in the partial protection the building provides. What can be seen of the boy (mostly his legs) is covered in mud, as if he fell somewhere along the way.

After a few minutes

Alma?

[alma_karma]

[He stops his cleaning, leaning over the communicator and dripping rainwater onto the screen.]

Yu?

[promisedlotus]

Where were you?

[alma_karma]

[He blinks a few times, oddly confused.]

... I dunno. I was inside and I think I fell asleep...

Then I was outside.

[OFFLINE FOREVER]

[So did Alma actually vanish for a few days, or was he automatoning his way along? Either way, bitty in the rain = big DNW, so here's Allen coming out of his room.]

Alma?

[alma_karma]

[Alma startles a bit, blinking up at Allen with a confused expression.]

... Allen? I'm not sure what happened.

[tothelastbreath]

―That makes two of us! What were you doing outside? [ peering at his muddy legs, worried ] Did you fall?

[alma_karma]

I woke up out here. I don't remember coming outside, though...

[He looks down at himself, rubbing distractedly at one of his knees.] Yeah.
