[Lloyd stares back at Asch.]

I live here...? [He says it like he's been living here for months and the redhead is suddenly insane for not remembering.]

[What the- DID THE REPLICA INVITE SOME WEIRD KID INTO THEIR APARTMENT WITHOUT PERMISSION!?]

...Since when?

[And now he's mentally prodding at the fonic link to try and track down the replica in order to murderize him properly.]

[It is, yes. If only because she knows something like this is important to Asch. He's always taken good care of his hair, so sudden;y wanting to cut it? That's not him. Reasoning and her own culture and selfish desires (she wants to see his hair color again once she can - it's among her favorite colors) aside, Miyabi's not going to let him do it. And if she does, she'll disgrace herself with him.

Her eyes are fierce, and she doesn't budge an inch, she has her resolve.]

If you won't, I won't.

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

[Glower, glower, glower...

...

Okay, there is an easier way to deal with this problem. She doesn't want to witness his hair-cutting? She doesn't have to! It's very simple.

Carefully, he lowers the scissors.]

Fine, I won't. Are you satisfied now?

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Asch you are a very stupid person. Just because she doesn't see the hair-cutting doesn't mean she'll be any less upset. She'd probably be even moreso. But...she seems pleased enough by this development. And lowers her sword slowly as well, before sheathing it.]

Mm...for now. Come have tea with me. I was heading there to wash down my cakes. [CAKES THAT YOU DESTROYED.] I'd enjoy the company.

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

[Wh- but- that wasn't part of the plan, and-

....

Miyabi this is some nefarious plot to ruin his day, isn't it. Isn't it.]

You already dropped them.

[Maybe if he's an asshole she'll let him escape... oh wait, that's nothing unusual, is it.]

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[You see, Asch, this is actually a very calculated and well thought out plan to not ruin you day, but to provide just enough distraction to keep you away from those scissors. And of course just to spend time together. She misses you sometimes, jerkface.

And is happily immune to your asshole-ish nature right now.]

Then we can stop by the bakery to get more!

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

[...He really is stuck now, isn't he? Doomed to a tea party with a bullying midget sister, or whatever she is now. Good grief.

Agreeing at this point is probably easier than trying to argue, though, so whatever, he'll deal.]

...Only if they have cherry cake.

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[broji]

((OOC: From here))

[His smile falters and he looks noticeably unhappy.] I'm just going to hold onto them for a little while.

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

...My scissors? You're stealing my scissors?

[Of all the petty, inconsequential, stupid--]

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[broji]

[Since when is asking the same as stealing? Even if he'd managed to take them earlier, Ginji had every intention of giving them back. Not like scissors are hard to come by.]

...What?! No! I just don't think you should cut your hair, that's all.

[Mumbling.] I've got a bad feeling about it...

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

Bad feeling? It's just hair, Ginji. [What is up with people making such a big deal out of it? Hair is hair! It'll grow! No one kicked up a storm when the replica did it.

But with Ginji looking so concerned, it's planting a niggling seed of doubt. Maybe there's something more to it than just a haircut...?]

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[broji]

[Ginji blinks once. It seems Asch has finally remembered his name.] You're right, but...not exactly.

Will you please hear me out? [He doesn't wait for permission, just keeps on talking.] I think there might be something bigger going on. I mean, just yesterday this boy was being chased around the village by ducks, Noelle caught a bout of hiccups that still hasn't subsided, and Nephry was dropping pearls.

And then there's the apartment... [He casts his eyes to the side and sighs deeply. Don't get him started on the apartment.]

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

[What the hell. That's some week you've been having, Ginji.

Not that he can talk...]

If you think I'm being manipulated, think again. This isn't just some whim!

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[fabrecation]

((ooc: From here!))

[STEPPING BACK. Except his back just hit the door.

SCREEA - SIDE STEPPING THEN.]

I'm not going to let you have this back, okay?!

[Action, November 25th-30th]

[dissonates]

[....... 8| Dreck.

That's it, you're getting charged at. LET THE SCISSOR WRESTLE BEGIN.]

[fabrecation]

[Action, November 25th-30th...?!]

[FUUU-

Luke does manage to move, but he still didn't expect a charge, so he's left standing with one hand on the scissors and one on Asch's hand, trying to pry it off.]

Let go! You don't need this!

so very unsure, LJ

[dissonates]

[Asch tries to twist Luke's arm in retaliation, eyes narrowing sharply.]

I can't cut my hair without it, dreck!

unsure forever

[fabrecation]

[Luke winces, but attempts to twist it back to its original place, and to pull at Asch's hand in the process.]

Rrgh - Why do you even want to cut your hair in the first place?!

[Action, November 25th-30th] Now in the proper spot

[fabrecation]

((Aaaand from here!))

You really think I haven't been alone thanks to me being Luke?

[Too late, Luke figures that he shouldn't argue that point. Asch has been much more alone than he has. But Luke destroyed thousands of people, nearly the world. Luke was abandoned by his friends when he needed them the most. Luke was left in the manor and stared at as if he was a monster.

Luke is not a very good name to have.]

Being me isn't as great as you make it out to be. Changing comes from acknowledging who you are and what mistakes you've made, or what you don't like about yourself, and fixing it. Not from stealing someone else's identity.

[Action, November 25th-30th] way to go dreck 8[

[dissonates]

[Asch scowls a little, but it's without any real venom or rage; more like a bitter scowl, still pining for what he seriously lacks in his life right now.]

I wouldn't be stealing it! It should be mine anyway, so I'd just- I'd be taking it back! Why can't it be me? Why is it always you?

[There's a sliver of desperation in his voice, a pained tinge he can't quite erase.]

[Action, November 25th-30th] fuck you original 8(

[fabrecation]

I don't know! Why do you always think I want any of this?!

[Right then, he is so very close to just giving up and letting Asch have the name. There's pain in his chest and he knows why - it's sympathy and hurt and guilt. It's always been there, ever since he learned he was a replica of Asch, and ever since he realized what he took from him. And it's stronger than ever.

But... not yet, not yet. Not when everyone's acting so strange. Asch could... very well be doing the same thing.]

And look what you're doing to yourself! You took my clothes, and you're even trying to copy the way I cut my hair! You never wanted that before, why do you want it now?! Why now and not two weeks ago?!

[He isn't angry either; it's that desperate tone, that pained tinge, making their voices near identical.]

[Action, November 25th-30th] no screw you first 8|

[dissonates]

I- [And that makes Asch falter, hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. Why... why does he have to question it!? Why does he have to ask!? It's his name, it's always belonged to him, it was stolen, so why...

...why is he asking for it now...?

Isn't it his right? Isn't this what he's always wanted? The life he could never have lived after his kidnapping... isn't that what he's after now?

Why didn't he take it when Luke offered before?]

...I... couldn't say it before. I couldn't ask. Everything was too different... there's no going back. I couldn't move forward if I kept focusing on the past all the time...

[Though that's what he ended up doing anyway. Maybe that's why it was always so painful.]

[Action, November 25th-30th] but you started it 8(

[fabrecation]

Then why are you focusing on the past now? What happened to make you feel like this?

... Was it those things in our journals?

[It's the only thing Luke can think of. It's why he acted weird, so now... maybe...

Why was Luke so reluctant, anyway? It wasn't just because of the fact that Asch might kill him for it later, not just because he wants to keep his name. For once... he's actually thinking of what he wants rather than what Asch once. This... rarely ever happens with him. And he's so torn about what to do that he can't help clenching his fists to hide the tremors.]
