☼ 004 ☼ | Video
[Filtered from Seles]
[A rare video feed from Kaneis comes on, partly because one of his roommates had to turn on the tablet. It becomes quickly apparently why- it seems his hands and locks of his hair are tangled up with strips of brightly colored leopard print duct tape. Someone attempted to do home repairs when they knew absolutely nothing about home repair. The background shows one giant hole in the wall about six inches in diameter, just to give you an idea. Allen is next to him, trying to get some of the duct tape off]
Okay okay- I'll ask! Just get me outta this stuff!
[He gives a huff and looks at the camera. He looks rather disgruntled]
Say, does anyone out there know where a person can get a couch? Ours kinda...got wrecked the other day and we can't fix it.
Oh and, stuff to seal up holes in the wall? That'd be good too.
Thanks in- [And then he YELLS "OW" as Allen his roommate pulls a piece out of his hair not so gently]
ALLEN! THAT WAS MY HAIR!
[Transmission end!]

[No. No to all of the above. Is that an option? WHAT IF HE JUST HUNG UP RIGHT NOW...]
Does this mean you were planning on visiting, at any point in the near future?
video;
[ he keeps smirking as he says: ] Maybe.
video;
[LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN MANIPULATE WITH MARIA? OR USING HAMMERS TO KNOCK PEOPLE OUT? OR BRAND NEW SECRET WEAPONS? OR THE APPARENT FACT THIS DUDE MIGHT BE PAYING A VISIT TO THEIR PLACE????]
[ALLEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU NEVER MENTION ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO MENTION BEFOREHAND?!?! ]
action;
And no explanation appears to be forthcoming, because he's apparently forgotten Kaneis is in the same room, as he's too busy snapping at Cross and muttering expletives under his breath to look behind him.]
action;
[And he's noticing...the tunnel vision so he'll try speaking up...]
Hey I don't know what's going on...but is encouraging your weapon crazed master to come here such a good idea...?
action;
He blinks, and looks back at Kaneis. Oh, right...]
Just keep away from him and you'll be fine.
action;
I'd love to but you told him to come here!!!
action;
action;
action; 1/3
[That would be TOO EASY.
But Allen isn't worried about Kaneis, Master has his mind set on using Allen as target practice—]
action;
HI GUYS, IT'S TIMCANPY, DID YOU MISS ME? DID YOU HEAR, MASTER'S HERE!! OMIGAWD THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST WEEK EVER.]
action; 3/3
But without a word, resigned to his fate, he gets up to answer the door. That was way too fast, Master wouldn't really...
...of course he'd send Tim.]
Ah.
1/2

Allen's blood.][He gulps a little, feeling just a bit of pity for the boy]
Want me...to say any prayers for you?
no subject
Haa. No, don't bother. [Prayers can't help him. God's the asshole who armed Cross in the first place.]
I'll... see you later, maybe.
[He shouldn't have hung up like that, what a dumb move...]

—But he won't quail! NO IS HIS FINAL ANSWER. He hasn't seen Cross in seven very long months, he didn't want to see Cross, and this is absolute nonsense! He won't put up with it.]
No, I refuse! After all this time— you finally show your face, and you can't even be arsed to do it in-person! And this is all you have to say?
[He straightens his shoulders and squares his jaw, and pulls the tablet closer. He's serious, here! THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DISCUSS.] If you haven't anything worthwhile to say, I'm going to turn this tablet off, Master!
video;
he shrugs lightly at Allen trying to be defiant. ]
Well, then you will have a surprise when we meet in person. And don't let me stop you from shutting off the tablet, idiot apprentice. You can always use those appendages called "legs" to walk and find me, if you want to see me so badly.
video;
[SHUTTING THE TABLET OFF!! YEAH, THAT'LL SHOW YOU.
He's going to die, goodbye world...]
video;
Cross finishes off his cigarette and sends Timcanpy off to retrieve Allen, because right now he's comfortable in this abandoned, damaged building and doesn't feel like moving. ]
ACTION;
ALLEN ARRIVES eventually. He enters the derelict building with his stomach in knots, Timcanpy fluttering overhead.
Yet even though he knows he's here, it still doesn't feel real, that Cross is here. Really really here, in Exsilium, in this city, in this building. It won't, until he sees him in the flesh.
He's not looking forward to it.]
...Master?
ACTION 5EVA
part of the building's interior walls are collapsing, and in some spots the rain is coming through via the roof or windows. it's completed by a set of collapsed stone stairs and lots of shadowy corners.
at first, it seems like Cross might be hiding anywhere, so Allen won't see him at first. but, once he turns a corner, he'll spot that fiery red hair standing out against the greys and blacks. he's standing on the aforementioned stairs, one hand on his hip and a smile (not innocent at all) on his face. ]
Look who used his appendages to find me~
no subject
But Allen's temper from twenty-or-so minutes ago seems to have abated a bit, and he's left with a sort of weariness that's becoming increasingly familiar (Cross is yet another Exorcist snatched from home, and if the Initiative can grab him, nobody is safe), and dread (Cross Marian.)
He's keeping an eye out for any... weapons.]
...It's been a while. [Nice to see you again, too.]
no subject
okay, that's a damn lie. he always has his weapons ready at any moment's notice. he just doesn't have them in his hand(s) right now, or so Allen can only see. for all Allen knows, Cross could be evoking Magdala Curtain on his hand(s) right now. ]
For you, apparently. For me, I finished having a conversation with you before my arrival here. [ and he descends the stairs as he talks, jumping and landing on the ground with ease once he hits the unstable, or completely missing, stairs. ] How long have you been in this dump?
no subject
...And that response is both strikingly specific and terribly vague at once, and Allen raises an eyebrow at him as he watches his descent. 'A conversation'? Though he supposes it isn't worth wondering what conversation he might be talking about; it's clear Cross is from later - just like the rest of them.]
Since December. It's been seven months.
no subject
And what have you personally accomplished for the Initiative?
