Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Text
Action: Iskaulit Gym
When: 2/6, late at night

[Well Allen's sure in a piss-poor mood tonight, if his late night texts have anything to say about it. Usually he's good at not letting departures get too under his skin. But losing a friend and someone from home in one go? Is a bit much.]

Kanda's gone. I'm sorry if you met him.

[Does that mean he's sorry that Kanda's gone from your life, or just a general apology for ever meeting the guy in the first place? Who knows.]

Also sorry to ask, but does anyone have anything that'd work on fixing tears on a punching bag?

[.......He a little got mad ok.]

[He switches to voice for Sorey. Other than sounding down, his voice also sounds a bit different. A little older anyway]

Space-grade duct tape? That might work for a quick fix. [Whatever "space-grade" means]

...Thanks. [a pause] I'm sorry about Lailah. I saw she left too.

[it means it was graded by space and got an a+ Allen keep up]

Ah...thanks. I can't say I'm glad, but a spaceship is no place for a seraph. So I'm happy for her.

[oh ok that makes sense]

Of course. And I'm sure you'll see her again soon.

I'm sure you'll see Kanda again too.

...Allen, could I ask you a favor? A future favor.

[He's silent to that first part, since the future Kanda was talking about wasn't exactly a reassuring one.]

Of course. What is it?

If I end up leaving and you're still here, could you check in on the seraphim? Your domain is so strong, they'll be able to rest inside of it. [Zaveid would probably be fine, but Dezel and Mikleo...they might have a much harder time dealing with all the fluctuating malevolence of the Fleet.]

Sure, of course. I wouldn't want anything to happen to them. [Even if you put the potential dragon problem aside, he still cared for the Seraphim as people]

This is just...a hypothetical though, right?

Yes, yes, absolutely. I just mean if I get sent back home, like Lailah.

All right, okay. Just making sure.

[Since hey sometimes when people make requests like that, they're about to go do something crazy reckless]

I'd do what I could to look out for them, even if I'm not as pure as you.

I'm not as pure as I thought, so even if it's true don't worry about that. Your domain repels malevolence and that's all they'd need.

I know I don't have to thank you, but thanks for the reassurance.

That's not what I... [meant. He knew there was one way he was less pure that Sorey could never replicate, but- it's sealed isn't it? So as long as the seal worked, maybe he was fretting over nothing and it's not an issue.] ...Nevermind.

It's fine. I know I'd have the same worries in your situation.

[Whatever it is, it's sealed tight enough that Sorey hasn't noticed it at least.]

What is it? Are you worried about corruption? Seraphim are usually very pure by nature, you don't have to be concerned.

No, I'm not worried about them corrupting me. I know they're pure, it's-

[...

There's a pause, as he debates whether or not he should tell Sorey. Sure, it's sealed. Sure, it probably won't caused problems. But there's always a chance some glitch or a spell could set it off. And without Kanda here anymore to handle things...

Don't lie if it'd put others at risk.]

I'm .... worried about it being the other way around. I...

[Why is this always so hard]

Remember how I told you about dark matter? And the people who have the sort of thing within them?

...The reason I know so much isn't just because I'm an Exorcist.

...you have Dark Matter sealed in you. Like that boy you were talking about before. [He had no idea. No idea, he couldn't even detect anything- but then again, even Lailah didn't know Maltran was a hellion until she revealed herself. Powerful negative energy can mask itself if it wants to.]

There isn't anything that can purify it?

[Allen's not surprised Sorey had no idea. Noahs were very good at masking their presence from the typical sensors. The Order never picked up anything from him, despite all their security measures. Fully awakened Noahs could stand right in front of Allen, and he wouldn't sense a thing with his eye.]

...No. It's too deeply embedded.

I currently have a magical seal on it, a strong one. So long as that holds, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Do you know what the circumstances would have to be to cause it to break? [please don't let it be a stress thing]

[Please Sorey, Allen is made from 50% stress, it'd instantly fail if it was that]

Essentially? It'd need a psychic who could go into minds, knows it exists and exactly where it's hidden, and is familiar enough with magical seals to know how to break one. [thoughtfully] I suppose a power neutralization ability could do it, but it'd also neutralize what the seal is sealing in the first place, so... [Not much point there.]

Robin was...a character, but he did a good job. He spent months designing the seal. [Also helped that he was a god but Allen never found that out.]

[Well, that's a relief. Those are some very specific circumstances, to be sure.] He must have. I really can't sense a single thing; your domain feels as pure as my Gramps's back home, honestly.

[.....feels like old man domain....wonderful.]

I'm not surprised. Even without the seal, Noahs are good at hiding their presence. [Which is hell if you're facing one, but...well, it sure makes it easier to avoid the overzealous demon hunter types, that's for sure]

Noahs? [Hang on a second there,] Do you mean the dark matter? It's sentient?

[WELP. So much for getting out of this conversation easily. There's a pause]

...Yes and no.

Dark Matter itself isn't sentient. It's just an energy source.

But....Noahs, whose powers are tied to dark matter, are. They're a type of being...creature, demon - I don't know what the correct term is honestly. [No one really studies Noahs and live to tell about it, to Allen's knowledge] They're from my world, and they're very dangerous.

Anyway, Noahs have a special ability that if they're ever killed, they can resurrect themselves by having their "memories" planted in a human host. Over time, the "memories" erode at the host and the Noah eventually takes over their body.

The seal's meant to prevent that.

[Sorey's following along until Allen gets to that 'memories' thing. Noahs sound just like hellions, only with the horrible option of resurrection post mortem. So Allen isn't a Noah, but he has those memories that could eat away at his own self until he disappears...]

I see... It makes sense that the only thing you can do is seal it. I'm glad you found someone who could.

Is there anything you'd like me to keep in mind, or look out for?

Me too. I've been very lucky.

[Ironic, considering the situation he's in would probably be anything but lucky. But he knows that back home he'd probably have no more than a few months left to live. So getting nine extra years? Was a complete blessing.]

...Strange behaviour. If I seem very ... off, that's a good indication. There might be malevolence, I'm not sure.

If that happens, please try to get away as fast as possible. Don't try to engage if you can avoid it. Once you're safe, please contact Crowley on the Pathstone.

[Well, Sorey's sure Clay will notice long before he does, but in the off chance Sorey runs into him first that's good to know. Although he can't abide by that 'get away as fast as possible' clause unless that includes getting everyone else out of danger first. Allen is probably assuming that's the case.]

Crowley, got it. He can reaffix the seal?

[There's a pause on his end.]

No.

But he'll know what to do. I've known him for a long time.
