[There's a brief shuffle, and a strained gasp, before a voice speaks up. Someone's back from a little excursion with John. He doesn't have the energy to lock it.]

...Guy?

Some... help.

They left a note when they took you. [So it's not like he's clairvoyant or anything.

Asch may notice the smile is somewhat icy.]

[dissonates]

[Oh, is that how it works? Convenient.

That smile is pretty hard to miss, though.] ...It's done now. I won't have to go back.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Well I sure hope so.

[dissonates]

[Asch nods as if to reassure himself, absently looking down at his hands again. As if on cue the glow starts to return, and he curses, hands clenching into fists as he focuses on getting control back. Why is it being so fussy...?]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Maybe you need to get it out of your system. [Guy searches around for a bit before handing Asch a rock the size of a golf ball.]

There.

[dissonates]

[Asch just gives him a look at first, because what the hell, man. Hyperresonance doesn't work like that.

Then he takes the rock with an inward sigh, because goddammit, it's not like he has any better ideas.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy sits back to watch, since with Asch causing a hyperresonance isn't exactly a team sport. Not that Guy would be able to help with that anyway.]

[dissonates]

[Asch narrows his eyes, focusing on the rock in his hands, and tries to summon the hyperresonance.

....

....




........]

It's not working!

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Maybe because you're stressing out. Calm down.

[dissonates]

No, it's not- [And then he has to stop because his body does its own thing and completely vaporizes the poor unsuspecting rock before he can even think to finish.]

....

What the hell!?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

This isn't calming down.

[dissonates]

You don't see the problem with this!?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I bet I'll see a few more problems if you don't take it easy and breathe.

[dissonates]

[SEETHE. GLOWING AGAIN.

...Oh shit, glowing again. Let's calm down and stop that, shall we?]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy is scooting back. Because while he loves Asch, he is not down with getting vaporized because his spazzy BF can't chill out.]

[dissonates]

[Asch studies his hands again, trying to will the hyperresonance back under his control again with minimal success.] ...It's like I don't even remember how to use it.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Do you remember how you first started to learn?

[dissonates]

That's the most confusing part. I remember everything about it. I know I can control it. But any time I try, it's... [And here he gestures somewhat helplessly, because how do you explain that you know how to do something but you don't?]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's calm now.] ...maybe you need better incentive.

[dissonates]

Incentive? [Boggle him why don't you.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy is going to invade Asch's personal space now, and wrap an arm around him to help him up to his feet.]

Let's get home.

[dissonates]

[Asch hesitates, resisting a little.] Is that really a good idea?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Something tells me this isn't a problem that'll fix itself in an hour or two, and I don't feel like spending days out here. [So no, it's not a good idea.]

[dissonates]

[Rrrgh. It's not like Asch wants to sit around outside, either, but he definitely doesn't want to blow up the house or something. Dammit.] ...Fine. I'll work on it there.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Good idea. [Come along now sweetheart.]
