Tyki: And then he'd remember to breath again "That's a flashy entrance."
Allison: She'd rap her shin armor and shrug. "I was trying to stop my fall."
Tyki: "Take it it worked..."
Allison: "Yep. Or I'd be a grease spot on the courtyard by now."
Tyki: "Well in celebration let's have a drink. Or I'll have a drink and you can tell me what you've been up to. But drinks must factor in. /my heartrate. sob/"
Allison: "I'll drink with you. ...the scream was unintentional I promise. /pats his shoulder after devoking. No more flames!/"
Tyki: "Ah well, it looks like it's been exciting for you. /no dignity ever/"
Allison: "Innocence Evolutions always are, as long as there's no backlash to deal with."
Tyki: "I think I can sympathize a bit, was there backlash?"
Allison: "Nope, strongest I've ever been and Skin didn't know what hit him when Mikk and I both evolved."
Tyki: "...Poor Skin. /he means it, not just from facing you two, but really that man has no luck. Wrath isn't a nice memory/"
Allison: "...I'm picturing Alex will say the same thing. I feel bad and at the same time...that's payback for the first fight I had with him. /shrugs/ and maybe I got to help him a bit. I don't know."
Tyki: "What happened the first time?"
Allison: "I nearly died and my weapon was destroyed."
Allison: "crowned clown bonded to my scorched organs to save my life."
Tyki: "Now that sounds familiar."
Allison: "It should. Last time it was a hole in my heart."
Tyki: "I remember. I still wonder, is that Innocence of yours the Heart?"
Allison: "No, my weapon isn't the heart. It evolves and saves my life because we're united in our wishes. Any Innocence will protect its user if they can hear its desires."
Tyki: "So you say."
Allison: "I say because I know. The Generals have the same kind of power with their Innocence."
Tyki: "Doesn't make yours not the heart. I've destroyed a general's Innocence, and it has the decency to stay destroyed."
Allison: "Yeegar was nearing the end of his life, if he had been a younger man - you probably wouldn't have been able to match him. Then again the current generals are the four that lived the longest in the war. One exception of many, doesn't make me the heart. For all we know it could be because of my ability to host a memory."
Allison: "Whatever the reason, I don't believe I possess the heart. Mine was called the Left Hand of God. not its heart."
Tyki: "Do you think so? You have little faith in the Earl's new assassin. But the generals are your strongest for a reason, I agree. Whatever your Innocence, it and the wielder worry the Boss."
Allison: "I do, you're caught in a crossroads of decision. Against a decisive heart that can withstand Innocence's demands, I don't mean to sound arrogant but, the heart births power only when fight with a reason behind it. Joyd is such a threat to your existence because of that. He knows why he fights and why, you...don't."
Allison: "I don't mean it as an insult. I've noticed the difference in how everyone fights. The hardest hitters are those who know what they're fighting for."
Allison: *when we fight
Tyki: "/my god woman you make him grumpy sometimes./ Is that so? And why don't I fight, lass? My heart's just too weak for it I suppose? /knows that's not what you're saying but.../"
Allison: "Just because you don't know which way to go doesn't make you or your heart weak. But, if your heart is filled with doubts could you see it being able to be the best it can be?"
Tyki: "For that matter, what makes you think my heart isn't decided, girl? Doubts come naturally and they are over come--of course if you waver you'll be weak, but you seem convinced that I'm in some turmoil. Your concern is touching, but misguided. /lighting a cigarette./"
Allison: "If you knew which way to go you'd have followed in Wisely's footsteps and let Joyd have you or betrayed the clan by now. /calm observation/ Are you fine with that? Letting Joyd take your place and kill you for your body?"
Tyki: "...And the alternate, betraying the family? Do you think I could be fine with that idea at all? Because I'm not."
Allison: "There's a third option."
Allison: "Abandoning this war and forsaking everything the Noah stand for to disappear from ther reach. No matter what path you take I don't see you siding with the Exorcists and certainly not the blood soaked Vatican with their hypocritisy and lies."
Tyki: "/he laughs/ Girl, you should have been a comedian. And what, be hunted by both sides? There's a price in every choice, but at least with the family I have something like freedom. /while I exist, at any rate/ No one is immortal, after all."
Allison: "Are you really fine with being a sacrifice? There's no freedom in waiting to die."
Tyki: "There's no freedom in being hunted like a dog, either, girl. And you're right, there is no way I'd join with the Vatican and the Order, not for something as paltry as protection. /ohshit did he just sort of roundaboutly admit to it there?/"
Allison: "/she catches it, her eyes flicking to his./ There are other forces out in the world that can shield you from all prying eyes. The Earl hates one of them and fears a bullet to his head didn't kill him. ...it didn't."
Tyki: "/glancing away so quickly, fuck this is way too dangerous to discuss, what is he thinking? He must be absolutely fucking nuts./ That still involves betrayal, and as I've mentioned I'm not in the traitor business."
Allison: "/She nods and drops it only to say./ Until the day I die, the only side I'm on is my own."
Tyki: "A unique stance, but not one we can all carry. Now I believe we were retiring to get pleasantly smashed?"
Allison: "I suppose not. Mmm, which bar is closest? /runs a hand through her hair, thinking about the whole conversation/"
Tyki: "Ah, there's one just a short walk west I believe. /also thinking about it, even though he's trying not to./"
Allison: "Perfect. /Hard not to think about it./"
Tyki: "/conversation topic.../ So how long have you been gone? For you, that is. /Really it is, he kind of wants to smash his face into a wall until he forgets it ever happened, but it's so hard to kill brain cells as a Noah. And you had some valid points but... Betrayal is a big, big fucking deal. There isn't any coming back./"
Allison: "Few months, been in Peru all this time. /Its one of those things you have to sleep on. Until you're sure of your road you won't know which way to go./"
Tyki: "Oh? What's in Peru? /It is. And he's just not the type to be the leopard changing his spots without a drastic reason. Still, it's insidious, the thought./"
Allison: "The ancient Incas civilization ruins, an Akuma feeding camp, and the former site that once housed the original Ark of Noah after the war."
Tyki: "Ah, so just the sort of place you'd stick your nose in."
Allison: "Don't look at me like that I went there on orders before and came back to deal a crushing blow to that feeding camp. Unlike your time, the Earl has given the Akuma the ability to harvest souls from the living. ...Those camps are their feeding grounds."
Tyki: "So defensive, lass. I was just pointing out you have a knack for being in the thick of trouble. /no comment on the feeding camp/"
Allison: "I don't go actively looking for it. It finds me. /shrugs/"
Tyki: "A likely story. /booze! We have found it./"
Allison: "I speak only the truth. /woo! lets get plastered./"
Tyki: "As you say. /best idea you've had today/"
Allison: "Yep. /as long as you don't sing./"
Tyki: "To never going looking for trouble then. /what he has a nice voice!/"
Allison: "Yes. /Doesn't matter when you're singing a wenching song./"
Tyki: "/would like to note you know all the lyrics anyway, sing along./"
Allison: "/...but I don't want to sing about wenching! Unless I get to go tie up my wench I sleep with regularly!/"
Tyki: "/not gonna stop you from doing so if you want/
Allison: she'd sit down by cardio later and go "what the hell did we DRINK last night when we ran out of brandy?!"
Tyki: "Not sure.... /braincells still regenerating, ow./ I think it might not have been meant for drinking."
Allison: "...Ah. That explains why Mikk has forbidden me from getting drunk for a while."
Tyki: "Well I found myself naked on the roof and painted blue, so... Can't blame him really."
Allison: "I came to in my dress uniform, on top of Mikk. He was tied (properly) to the headboard and gagged. ...and leashed. I had the end of the leash in my hand."
Tyki: "Sounds like your night was more fun than mine, though possibly not as full of mystery."
Allison: "He was still dress but his neck was covered in bite marks."
Tyki: "How disappointing for him."
Allison: "...how the bloody hell did get you painted blue."
Tyki: "Therein lies the mystery of my evening."
Allison: "There's a brightside."
Tyki: "Perhaps. Though the mind reaches to fill in the gaps, and imagination can be quite... Creative. But I think it'll be at least a few days before I drink again. I feel rather virtuous."
Allison: "On the brightside you didn't wake up next to Cyril or the Earl. Or the twins."
Tyki: "You have a way of cheering a man up while making him feel sick in the same sentence."
Tyki: And then he'd remember to breath again "That's a flashy entrance."
Allison: She'd rap her shin armor and shrug. "I was trying to stop my fall."
Tyki: "Take it it worked..."
Allison: "Yep. Or I'd be a grease spot on the courtyard by now."
