Broadcast: Yes
Action: Marsiva only.
When: Early Tuesday morning.

[video;]

[There's a cranky nineteen-year-old staring down through the feed. The feed is upside down. Someone should probably tell him.]

Where is it?

[It's not a question, it's a demand.]

My sword. Where is it?

[He leans in, blue eyes taking over the feed.] Who are you supposed to be? Some other division? [It's not the first time he's been locked up in a lab. If this is supposed to terrify him, it's not working.] You're testing me, then.

Hope you don't have anything important in here. There won't be anything left when I'm done.

[Kanda regards the camera calmly.]

... Did you say something? I wasn't paying attention.

[oh my fucking god]

Everything's the same as you left it. Mostly.

[$%#@&$#!!!]

BULLSHIT!!

[... okay, so there's a couple things.]

Johnny left the Order because you ran off alone. Lavi's still missing, but Lenalee and Marie are safe. Howard Link faked his death to get out of the Order, supposedly.

[as an afterthought]

And I came back, I guess.

[WOW KANDA THAT IS QUITE THE INFO DUMP. Allen is stunned for a minute as he tries to wrap his mind around. Johnny....that was someone from the Science Division right? They played chess since Suman left- he hasn't seen him in 9 years. He ran off- because of Allen? Who's somehow still alive after all that and ran off? That's- okay he could understand him running off somewhat but-

Lavi]

What?

What...what do you mean Lavi's missing?

[The last time he saw him was at Paradisa. He stayed at Gut's house with the rest of them, always being his usual friendly self. He never said anything about...this. They'd spend hours talking, laughing, goofing around- not once did he mention something like that. Allen had always assumed he'd be safe back at the Order, with Lenalee and Marie-]

[Lavi's missing and Timcanpy's dead. Allen's life is a mess.]

Noah. [He feels like he has to back up his memories a bit.] The Noah attacked all over the world in order to distract us from the Earl's move. Apparently Lavi and Bookman got captured, too. Marie and Chaozii were with them.

... I doubt Lavi's dead. [Bookman, though, who knows.]

Bookman and Lavi...?

[Allen tries to wrap his mind around it. Noahs weren't well known for capturing people. Only Road really did it, but she had been with Allen. But if it was Bookman, was it for information? To interrogate him? About what he knew about the 14th that the Earl was so obsessed about? But...]

Why would the Earl need Bookman? He already knows more than the rest of us...

[It didn't make any sense. And it made him extremely worried. That was two comrades in the hands on the enemy. And yet the worst part is, he's not sure if it's a relief or not to hear they were captured by the Noah and not Central.

But there's not much he can do about it. So he moves through the rest of the news. Lenalee and Marie being safe was definitely good. Link faking his death was....really weird, but maybe it was some kind of Crow mission. It wasn't like he'd be needed to supervise Allen anymore if he ran off. And that came to...]

You're...really back with the Order? Did they find you? [Shit shit shit. It was a bad idea to pick Mater. They had gone there on a mission after all, it was in the Order's records] God, I'm sorry. We should've picked somewhere else.

Information, probably. There are a lot of things in this war we don't know about...

[A lot of things that should be buried and left alone, but when have humans ever been good at that?

Then Allen starts to apologize, and Kanda visibly winces.]

Don't-- [He breathes through his teeth. Has to force himself to calm down. When he says it again, it's softer.] -- don't.

It wasn't anything you did. It was me.

... I came back on my own.

What.

Did I stutter?

I- But- What- How-

WHY!?!

[He gives a long-suffering sigh.]

I'll tell you when I see you. I don't like talking over this thing.

[BUT HE WANT TO KNOW NOOOOOW. Except okay- he can see the logic. Who knows who else is watching this. Even encrypted channels can't be trusted fully, not with nosy communications officers about.

Not that the logic will stop Allen from making an annoyed sound. ]

Tch, fine.

But I'll be expecting an explanation!

[He can't help a smirk at the way Allen huffs about it.]

You sound like a demanding parent.

Whatever. Maybe it's because it's been a long time for me. I grew up.

[Not that it's been AT ALL apparent in this conversation Allen.]

[A derisive snort.]

Sure you did.

[And Kanda went blond.]

I did!

I'm twenty-four now.

[PFFFFFFFFFFFT]

What!?

[Ah yes. Kanda's outrage gives him life]

What? I told you it's been years!

How... how many years is that?

[Like. Almost as long as Kanda's been alive?]

What the hell kind of place is this?!

[Wow Kanda. Your math skills suck]

It'll be nine in a couple months.

[So. Yeah. As long as you've been alive bro]

Well technically I got stuck in another place for the first seven years. Then I got dragged here. This place is supposed to some kind of...entertainment show for people to watch. Apparently in the future, entertainment is kidnapping people and watching them run a fleet of spaceships.

[he was created to be a super soldier, not a super genius]

Nine years since this whole thing started for you. [He mutters something that sounds suspiciously like 'shit' under his breath.] Have you gone back at all?

Every few years, I'd get sent back home for a couple weeks or months. Usually I wouldn't remember anything about these places while I was there, but I'd get to see home again.

[...]

The last time that happened was a few years ago. And honestly considering everything that was going on, and someone told me I'd been missing for three months back home, I...

Well, it seemed safe to assume there likely wouldn't be another visit home.

[The 14th was awake, he had gone against the Order, the Noah clan were after him....Allen was tough, a survivor... but even he knew impossible odds.]

... Ah.

[A fair assumption to make. With the awakening and all of that... and how Allen had been on the run. Yes, he has every right to assume he's basically dead.

But this-- this is a tiny smile, if Allen's looking for it.]

Don't give up yet. You're still you.

[Even if Allen isn't using video function for some reason, it's definitely Allen.]

-- Anyway, there are bigger things to worry about. Everyone is scrambling around, trying to capture that priest guy... Tiedoll said I can help you out as long as I'm with the Order.

[There's a few implications with that, the most forward of which being: Kanda won't let Allen get locked up again.]

[Did Kanda just..? Allen did catch it, and it's enough to make him turn a little pink on his end. He knows the last time he saw Kanda they had left on better terms than they ever had been before, but...it was still humbling to see it in action.

"You're still you"...that alone lets him exhale a breath he didn't know he was holding. It had been a fear, that someone would come and tell him that Nea had won. He's not at all sure what to make of the new information that he is still alive, especially when he's built a life here, but...it's good to know it's not the worst yet.

But it's Allen and this is Kanda, so he can't help but be a little tsun]

Who...Who said anything about giving up? I wouldn't have made it nine years if I'd given up!

[But right, anyway- subject change. He clears his throat.]

...General Tiedoll probably just said that because he misses you. [What a sentimental and doting master you have, so weird. But Allen doesn't need the reassurance that Kanda wouldn't hand him over. There was no doubt about that]

But right...some priest that's...Innocence?

I guess not. [He sounds a little fond. But then he's clearing his throat and trying to be tsun, too. HE DOESN'T CARE HE HAS NO EMOTIONS ET CETERA.]

Sounds like him, yeah. [Tiedoll has always treated his apprentices like his own children. He's soft and artistic, just like he looks. Also kicks a LOT of ass.]

I guess you haven't met him yet. He looks like a normal guy, but just being around him makes Innocence go out of control... especially for you. [It's causing Allen a lot of pain. A lot of pain. It's difficult to watch.] I don't know his name, but...

[It's okay, the priest can't hurt him. He takes a breath.]

You can't let him touch you. He can change your memories or he can kill you from inside. With one hand. Even with my regeneration, it... it was bad.
