第二十七錯覚; 「ACCIDENTAL VIDEO」

[promisedlotus]

[The feed turns on as it's dropped, showing Kanda outside in the cold, trench coat being his only means of protection from the chilly weather. But Kanda doesn't even seem to notice that he's dropped his PDA or that it's recording. Or, if he does, then he doesn't acknowledge it.

He's just staring at something in front of him, completely horrified

[looseleafbook]

Then you'll need help moving it.

[promisedlotus]

that's not the point!

a corpse shouldn't be stone! it wasn't when this first happened, lavi.

[looseleafbook]

Well why is it stone now?

[promisedlotus]

What do yo-- Never mind, I'm coming over.

[Closing the connection and going down to your room.]

[He'll be there. And unfortunately for him, so will his crumbly remains of a hallucination. And he'll just do whatever he can to not acknowledge them, even if he's obviously shaken up.]

[Lavi ignores them though they do get a curious glance at first. Then he's going right over to Kanda and tugging him out into the hallway. If the body follows then he's going to tug his jacket off and cover Kanda's head with it.]

Hey. Talk to me... That's what I'm here for.

actioooon

[promisedlotus]

[Letting Lavi take him out to the hallway, just this once.]

I don't even know what I'm supposed to say first. [Ugh, why couldn't this happen when there was...something going on, something that required immediate attention from him.

Chasing down Allens could only occupy him for so long.]

[looseleafbook]

You know it's always best to start at the beginning. [He reaches up and gives Kanda's sidelock a light tug.]

Where else do you start your own story? [Doubtful the Allens appreciate it and Lavi's been avoiding them like the plague.]

[promisedlotus]

[Beginning where? Sometimes he forgets what he's told just Allen and told to all of them.]

... I lost my healing ability after my fight with Alma at home. I'm no more different from you, now.

[Hnnngh.] Turning to stone...is what happened to Alma, when he finally passed.

[It might be best at some point to just tell everything again.

Lavi is quiet. Too quiet almost. He can't imagine either of the Almas being stone. It's just unrealistic to him. And it would have been Kanda in the other Alma's home that ended up stone.]

Don't be silly, you're always going to be special, yeah? [He accepts what he was told, honestly. Just...Kanda is different.]

actioooon

[promisedlotus]

[He can't. So Lavi and Allen are the only ones he can confide in for now.]

I'm not. If I drank with you, and we got wasted, I'd have a hangover. I never had one before, no matter how much I drank.

Even if that sounds like a good idea right now.
