dissonates | [Video / Written / Action?]

[The journal turns on with a little crash, revealing... the ceiling. Yes, very exciting.]

Stop knocking things over!

[A small, furry black face saunters over to the journal, sniffing curiously. It meows. And then, turning, flops over right on top of it, covering the camera.]

Hey, cat, get off that, it's not your damn bed.

[A small trill, and the fuzzy thing rolls over, revealing a mildly irritated redhead.]

...What the hell? You actually turned it on? Hey, dreck, the cat's from the Dawn Age.

[His tone is even mildly amused for that one. He brushes the kitten off the journal, picking it up and half-closing it. Before it shuts, he reconsiders, then grabs the pen and scribbles out a note.]

[Written / Filtered to Dist]

I need to talk to you.

[There, that's good enough. Back to the whiny, needy little monstrosity who has moved on to making his own water dish into a cat bath. Surprise! Luke brought home a kitten for his very disgruntled original. What a wise decision this was, eh.]

[He thinks for a second.]

Probably because you needed something cute to balance out the grumpy! Hahaha!

Tsu . . . ae. That's a strange name. That kind of reminds me of Noishe.

[ Who was a dog protozoan . . . thing. ]

[Gold star to the man who loses points with Asch before he's even gained any.]

I don't need anything like that!

What's a Noishe? [Never heard of it.]

[Heisuke's special like that. 8Da]

Sure you do! Lookit ya! You're already getting angry!

[Ah, a natural Asch response, but Dist still makes a face of frustration and irritation. Fine, if he's not going to take his advice, when Dist is being honest and even trying to help when this clearly isn't his personal problem, then he's going to be harsh as well.]

Then you're going to die twice as fast as you are now, I suppose. But that's only theory...

[Dist leans against a counter lazily, his icy attitude dimming into one of pure nonchalance as he crosses his arms and listens again. That connection sounded so useful, knowing what was occurring to another body, possibly outside the barrier. Then again, if it was becoming stronger...what did that mean? Were the two really sharing fonons when they were connected like that?]

I see... [Dist closes his eyes, thinking hard. Fonons mixing together...could that he it? But Luke was made of seventh fonons entirely, where Asch was not. Could the replica be, essentially, pulling out Asch fonons? Rrrgh...he wanted to conduct tests, but that'd need both of them present. Damn it!] Again, this is only my thoughts based on what you say, Asch, but it seems that is exactly what is occurring. You and your replica's fonons are mixing together, is what I assume. I'd like to conduct a few tests with both of you present, but you won't allow that, will you?

Why you...!! [ARE YOU ASKING FOR A BEATING, BUDDY]

[Asch scowls at that comment, but ignores it. Dist isn't wrong, but that doesn't mean he has to agree with it, either. Maybe he'll die. maybe he won't.

...No, whether he will or not has never been the question. But sooner...]

The replica can't know. [His answer is quick, leaving no room for argument. Stubbornness issues again, maybe, but he knows the result of asking for those kinds of tests.] He never needs to know.

Aw, come on, Red. I'm only teasin'.

So, what, your roommate or something brought him home?

But I never promised I would... I just said I was going to try. What's wrong with that?

["Red"? Haven't even gotten the guy's name and he's already getting cutesy nicknames. Ugh.]

That's what I said, isn't it?

[...More or less.]

Why do you even care? You're not going to take it.

Nothing's wrong with it, I just said don't promise it. That's all.

Sorta. So why'd be bring him home?

[Of course, when Asch says that, he really only means one person. Luke shoots an exasperated glare behind him as he takes one of the cans of food, then brings his attention to it to figure out how much the cat would need.]

Loud, too. Reminds me of someone.

[... Stella would coo at that thing right now if she wasn't sure Asch wouldn't be impressed. Instead, she just smiles and hides a soft giggle as the kitten is forced off of the journal, and her tone when she speaks sounds quite amused.]

I see you have a new addition to the family.

How should I know? Ask him if you want to know.

[Probably wanted to see if Asch cooed and cuddled it. Idiot.]

Can't think of anyone like that. [Yeah he sees what you did there. IGNORING YOU, kitten is clinging. Though Tsuae will detach pretty damn fast as soon as that food is open to pester Luke instead.] Is there a reason why you picked the one that never stops crying?

I wouldn't call what we have here a family.

[Ugh, seriously, he just lives with the replica. Gross, not a family there.]

[And the cat pretty much leaps onto Luke's leg to climb it a little, which makes Luke himself scowl and shake his leg. But nope. Tenacious little bastard indeed.]

He wasn't this damn noisy when I got him! [But whatever, he'll just start putting the food into the bowl and try to ignore the tiny claws digging into his leg.]

Of course, of course. [She grins a little - trust Asch to not see the humor in a joke like that.]

Did you just get her? Or him?

[Asch is quiet for a moment, watching the antics of the two and - just for that moment, while Luke has his back turned - allows his amusement to cross his expression. The kitten is annoying, yes, but he's annoying Luke right now.

This is acceptable behaviour.]

...Tsuae.

Just today. [He has a feeling she's teasing, but he ignores that part. No thank you. 8|]

Oh, Noishe is the name of this creature that I've traveled with for a period of time. His race was the first to be born in my world and for his entire life he changes form until he reaches the final stage of becoming a human that fights evil.
