[Things have been going well for Allen the past month. Very well. And while that was certainly a good thing, he couldn't shake the anxiety that it meant something was about to go horribly wrong. Because you know, because it usually did for him. ]

[So he here was, trying to at least put a few of his fears at rest- especially after this latest round of augment malfunctions. Just what if the next round of malfunctions were less benevolent in nature? In truth - he didn't really expect any good answers. There almost never was when he sought out help. Still, there was always a chance. And at least he'd feel like he was doing something]

...Maybe one day. [He hopes anyway, but he won't fight it too hard right now. You don't change a mindset like that in a conversation, he knows that much.]

[Allen meanwhile...really doesn't want to dwell on everything he's been stripped of since he found out he was the 14th. It was a long, long list. One that made him bitter to think about. But it was true, he was still himself. He's been himself for years longer than anyone thought he would be.]

Mm, that's true. [He offers him a smile.] And now I have you too.

[he's not naive. He knows Riku being able to help was a long shot. Not because of Riku, but because very few things have ever helped. But...it was still a chance, something to hope for. To know what he was trying to do wasn't entirely impossible. And for that, Allen was grateful.]

if i still had my smiling icon i would use it, but alas for now

[ that feels a little embarrassing. he supposed that's kind of what he took the test for--to help others, but still... it's weird. he rubs the back of his neck. ]

R-right. Uh--here. [ communicator number goes here ] In case something happens.

woes :(

[Hey hey gagtag!Riku- we're all gay here]

Thanks. [He logs it into his communicator] I'm hoping the augment holds up, it's been doing well so far but...with the malfunctions lately, I've been getting worried.

[limitstorm]

I heard about the malfunctions, but I dunno if I've felt any at all.

Your augment helps you?

[save_the_souls]

Me either, so far.

[he gives a little nod] From what I can observe, it's stopping the progression. Were I'd back home I....probably wouldn't have much time at all. But here, I've been nearly a year and my condition hasn't changed a bit.

[limitstorm]

... maybe that's why I don't have my powers.

[ he frowns, eyes darting downward. ]

I got stronger because I accepted the power he gave me--if it's blocking him...

[save_the_souls]

Maybe...that's possible.

Then again, it's also inhibiting some of my other powers that aren't related to that. So who knows what it is.

[limitstorm]

Maybe it's different for everyone. Everyone's got different augments, right? What's yours?

[save_the_souls]

Me? I'm a lab support.
