Characters: CLOSED; tothelastbreath and looseleafbook, alma_karma whenever they get around to kidnapping him in the name of good grooming habits, and maybe promisedlotus if he's cool with getting a haircut.
When: July 11th
Where: Nesreca apartments
Rating: DANDELIONS AND PUPPIES until Kanda opens his mouth.
Summary: Just a bunch of boys cutting each other's hair, with or without permission. What can go wrong, seriously. Also, action spam format. Aaaaall the action spam.


[Truth is, Allen doesn't really care if his hair gets cut or not.

Truth is, Nesreca has this hideous way of encouraging him not to care very much about most things pertaining to himself.

What he does care about, however, is making good on his verbal promise to Lavi, especially after circumstances have caused him to fall short of keeping the previous one. So when late morning finally rolls around, he splashes some water on his face in an attempt to wash away the fatigue, tries on a smile in a grimy window pane (stretch it, hold it, steady now), and makes his way to room 905 with the pair of surgical scissors they'd found all those weeks ago.]

Lavi? [ Knock knock. ] Are you up?

[Hmm... this is starting to sound like a good idea.]

I guess it could use a trim...

[outsidehistory]

[Lavi is just good like that.]

I'd say cut the whole tail off so we could tell them apart but just a decent trim should help, yeah?

[tothelastbreath]

[Allen could point out it is easier to tell them apart as it is, one Kanda sporting his default hair length while the other lugs around a comet tail of hair.

He could. He doesn't.]

Maybe something a bit more striking than a decent trim. Say, a foot or so more striking.

[alma_karma]

[Alma's eyes go a little wide.]

... Maybe we should ask.

[outsidehistory]

You'll already be asking if you can give him a trim, yeah?

[tothelastbreath]

[...Who knows, maybe this will turn out to be a somewhat respectable venture after all.]

Just don't tell him Lavi had anything to do with it.

[Yes, 'Lavi'. See what he did there.]

[alma_karma]

Why not?

[outsidehistory]

Because Yu likes to chase the "rabbit" around trying to kill him.

[tothelastbreath]

[ simultaneously: ] Because Lavi may not live to see his next haircut, then.

[alma_karma]

... Yu wouldn't kill you.

[outsidehistory]

He'd certainly try.

[tothelastbreath]

[ amicably: ] He would—[ aside to Alma: ]—though you'd think with all the practice Lavi's had, he'd be better at running.

[alma_karma]

[Pfffft!] Of you're not good at running you shouldn't make him mad, Lavi~

[outsidehistory]

Oi, oi! I'm plenty good at running away from him, Yu just has better stamina than me! [Endless amounts of it.]

[tothelastbreath]

It's all the same if he catches you in the end, isn't it?

[alma_karma]

[NODDING. Alma agrees with Allen.]

[outsidehistory]

Which is usually why I run in a way that makes him literally run into Allen. [Smiles.]

[tothelastbreath]

[. . .]




[Lavi, that only works as a survival tactic until you go spilling to the guy you've been using as a buffer.]

2/2

[tothelastbreath]

But he still catches you in the end. How much faster do you think the end will come if he has—[ drops the bottom of his right fist into his upturned left palm in a wordless 'aha!', the resulting thump muted by his ever-present gloves ]—a little help?

[alma_karma]

...




[See icon expression.]

[outsidehistory]

[Eep! Holding up his hands in surrender.]

I haven't once done it since I got here, yeah? I haven't even really pranked Yu.

[tothelastbreath]

[Since you got here, Lavi.





Don't think Allen will be forgetting all the other times it happened back home.]

[ disarmingly: ] Well, now you know what'll happen if you try it here. I'm not sure it counts as pranking if he does need a haircut, though. Your record may stay clean for a while longer.

[alma_karma]

We should definitely ask first.

[outsidehistory]

[He'll be a good redhead and avoid pranking Kanda. >>;;;]

Well, we've already said that Allen and I can't ask. That just leaves you, kiddo.

[tothelastbreath]

[...He supposes Kanda does have to cut his hair at some point. It's ridiculous enough as it is.]

Will you help us? If he says no, we won't go ahead with it.
