Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Voice and Text;
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Today!

[For anyone who hasn't heard from Allen in a couple months, his voice sounds different- older and slightly deeper. Someone's been using those aging upgrades okay.]

Excuse me, but I'm looking for someone who is skilled with repairing swords. I received a sword from that last world that has a lot of sentimental value to me, but for some reason it was sent in pieces. [Yeah, that sure is annoyance in his voice]

I'd be happy to pay well for the repair. Thank you.

[The broadcast ends there, but sure enough, some text rumors appear at the end of the message, unbeknownst to Allen, who had not paid attention to the post when he submitted it.]

Allen Walker dyes his hair white to be edgy.
Allen and Clay are kinky in the bedroom.
Walker really is Texan, the British accent is an act for a secret ranger mission.

Eh? Really?

[He knows Clay likes the color, but it's surprising to hear other people think so]

Ah, thank you. I like your hair colour too!

Mine is like my lady mother's. Hers is House Tully, and that was her name before she married my father. The colour, then, can be comfortably described as 'Tully red' -- although the Tullys are certainly not the only ones with such a hue in all of Westeros. Only that the colourer is rarer in the North, I think.

I see! It's very pretty. Back where I'm from, it wasn't too unusual a colour. But in other parts of the world, it's very rare.

Is that so? What of yours, Ser Allen. Is yours rare?

The white hair? Ah yeah, it's very rare unless you're old.

It's actually not my original colour, it turned white as a side effect to my powers. [And trauma. Loads of trauma. But let's not get into that.] I actually used to have red hair.

Like me! [ oh, this tickles her. her smile isn't visible, certainly, but the exclamation mark says it all. as punctuation goes, this was one she'd only learned here in the fleet. she uses it sparingly. ] Mayhaps we are family, Ser Allen.

[Oh no that's really cute, and makes him smile on his end]

Yeah, exactly! And I think so! You were onto something with the family idea.

I've said much the same to Riona. I think -- I hope she took some comfort in it.

I'm sure she did. I know she's very fond of our crew.

I find it remarkable than one could leave, live for so long, and return while still maintaining that fondness. How good of her not to forget us.

Yeah. But I think that just shows how much we mean to her. You don't easily forget a home, no matter how long it's been.

...Do you think often of your real home, Ser Allen?

[...]

I'm not sure I'd call it real. It's not like I can go back to it.

But yes, all the time.

It must always be real -- whether you can return or not.
After all, it's where you started.

[ and isn't that a kind of home? ]

The place I started was anything but a home.

[The first place he remembers, anyway. Whatever came before it...he doesn't have the slightest idea. But if what he was told was true, then he had no desire to learn more of it.]

Truthfully, the only place I called home back in my world, I only stayed for about a year and a half before I decided to leave. The rest of the time, I was always traveling. Even when I was stuck in Paradisa for years, I took every opportunity I could to travel away from the castle.

Maybe it's why I'm comfortable in the fleet. I'm more used to traveling than staying home.

[ she patiently reads every word -- and curses herself for speaking so flippantly when she knows at least a glimpse of what allen had left behind. at least, a glimpse of what little he told her. there are occasions like these where her desire to play the part of a twittering dove works against her; she just about manages not to draw attention to it through an apology.

instead: ] Where did you stay during that year and a half?

With the Black Order.

It's an organisation for Exorcists- er, people with abilities like mine, that fight demons and the undead.
