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?

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

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

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.

[alma_karma]

... [Excellent diplomacy check. Because Alma was serious about the wall business. He'd like for wall-throwing to not happen.]

Okay.

[outsidehistory]

Now we just need to lure Kanda down~

[tothelastbreath]

Or we can go up―[ a pointed pause ]―and ask.

[alma_karma]

That'd probably be easier.

[outsidehistory]

You guys can go upstairs then. [Forever a lazy ass.]

[tothelastbreath]

Lavi.

[Allen's struggling with something that looks suspiciously like an eyeroll. He gives that up in favour of trying to frown disapprovingly, but ends up with his mouth twisted in a wry smile instead.]

If you insist. [ He gets up, holding his right hand out to Alma, then adds: ] We'll tell him you're waiting to speak with him. Urgently.

[alma_karma]

[He takes Allen's hand, sticking his tongue out at Lavi playfully.]

You should get better at running.

[outsidehistory]

Maybe, but I've got clean hands in this.

[tothelastbreath]

[ cheerfully: ] Not if I have anything to say about it.

[Aaaand they're off! Don't worry Lavi, Allen won't actually make good on it. Probably. His top priority is to see this through with minimal bloodshed.]

[alma_karma]

[Minimal bloodshed is good! Alma will just amble right along with Allen.]
