[Early in the morning, Asch is by the section of trees close to the river outside House 5, standing in the snow in just his uniform, holding the Key of Lorelei. He seems fixated on whatever it is he's doing, namely holding the Key tip-down into the snow, both hands on the end of the hilt, eyes closed as he focuses. Every few moments you might catch a slight glow around him, little more than a flicker before it fades.

Talk, harass, troll, lurk? He's open for bothering, though he won't like it. |D]

[Asch shifts slightly, looking away again.] You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

Try me.

[dissonates]

[Fine, if you want to be that way.] I'm trying to hyperresonate.

... I think I remember Luke mentioning that before, but I don't think I ever asked about it. What does it do?

[dissonates]

["I told you you wouldn't understand." No, Asch, don't say that.] It deconstructs and reconstructs matter.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

... That's pretty neat.

[dissonates]

Only when it works. [Which it isn't.]

[ He catches the hint. ] My avatar was the same way.

[dissonates]

What? [Avatar, wtf is that.]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

It's... like a program --- it's like a special ability I had. Made me stronger, gave me more attacks. Sometimes manifested in the shape of a beast.

[dissonates]

You can't use it anymore?

[ He shakes his head. ] If I ever had it, they took it when I died.

[dissonates]

Here in Luceti? [Had the replica mentioned that? He can't remember.]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, here.

[dissonates]

...So we're in the same situation. [That's unexpected.]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Oh... so that's what's going on. Yeah, I guess so.

[dissonates]

[So they have something in common. Amazing. Unfortunately Asch doesn't really know what to say beyond that, so he falls into uncomfortable silence.]

[ Haseo goes quiet for a short while too, before hanging his head and speaking up. ]

Have you seen a preteen girl with blonde hair, about chin length, anywhere this morning?

[dissonates]

I don't think so. Someone you know is missing?

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah. A kid, he was kidnapped by them the other day.

[dissonates]

In that case I doubt asking around will get you anywhere.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

We never know when they'll come back... when Sakubo returns, I've got to be there right away.

[dissonates]

...I guess I can keep an eye out or something.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate it...

[dissonates]

I wouldn't expect much, though.
