Action for 840 Hastings
[Testament, like most new arrivals, is far from happy about his current surroundings. This is not home -- this is not his sheltered forest. He is taking the time to go through every single room in the house, inspecting everything in each room, regardless of whether or not someone is in the room -- if someone is in the room,

Dizzy? I met a girl named Dizzy earlier. She was very nice! I'm not sure where she lives, though...

phone;

[exebeast]

...I see.

[trueazure]

Are you a friend of hers? I can tell her you're looking for her, Mister...?

[exebeast]

Her guardian...Testament.

[bleuflag]

Eh...?

..What do you want with her!? [He sounds rather defensive.]

Phone

[exebeast]

I am her protector. [Also quite defensive in his tone.] What business do you have with her?

Phone

[bleuflag]

Like hell you are! Why should I explain yourself to you?

You're gonna have to go through me if you're gonna mess with her.

[exebeast]

I do not need to explain my business -- she will know who I am.

[Lack of his Gear body be damned, you do not prevent him from getting to his precious one.] And I am not afraid to do just that, if you are foolish enough to challenge me.

-There's something of a familiar squeaking sound on the other end.-

[heteropennae]

-And an even more familiar sound that, without his Gear body, Testament will have trouble understanding. I sense that this is not a falsehood presented by Mayfield, Dizzy.

Bruder?

[exebeast]

[That voice is both a relief and a punch in the gut to hear.]

Schwestlein...where are you?

[abovelions]

[oh hello man wearing a skirt in her house. after he ignores her, she curiously follows behind him in his investigation.]

Um. Hello?

[exebeast]

[Testament looks to her, his face indifferent.] What is this place?

[abovelions]

840 Hastings. Did you not know that when you came in? [assuming he is one of touma's friends...]

[exebeast]

That did not answer my question. What is this place? This is not where I am from or should be.

[so_misfortunate]

[ The other not!child stares at the man in half a dress as he stands at the door, having just come in from the gym. ] H-hey! Who are you, and what are you doing in this house? [ Is Touma going to have to throw a weirdo out? Damn it, he's sore... ]

[exebeast]

[Flatly:] I live here now.

[so_misfortunate]

Uh...huh. [ Touma dares to turn his head a moment to look at a nearby shelf, where the "family" photos are and--- ] Huh. I... guess you're right.

[ Looking at the man. ] But if you're the "dad", now, what's with the skirt?

[exebeast]

It is more comfortable and practical. [Yeah, he usually wears one -- big whoop, wanna fight about it?]
