why did the sun want to go to school

[save_the_souls]

Why?

action;

[geonomy]

[When Allen takes Clay down to his room after this, Clay wasn't sure what to expect at first. But as he's going down the ladder, Queen playing softly next to his ear, and looking down at all of the decorations and items he's got lying around... it's definitely not what he expected. Huh.]

You a fan of Halloween?

action;

[save_the_souls]

[Allen meanwhile is at the bottom of the ladder and kicks off his boots near the ladder, mostly out of habit. He'll look over at Clay when he speaks up]

It's my favourite holiday, actually. [So much better than Christmas] You?

text; after katara's post

[ino]

What was that all about?

text;

[save_the_souls]

[Allen meanwhile doesn't respond for a good couple hours. Mostly because he had left his communicator in his room, and really didn't feel up to grabbing it while he was blowing off steam. Plus hey, he hadn't realized his fight with Katara had been broadcasted either- so he's a bit confused at the text]

What was what all about?

[Text]

[honorbends]

Rule #1 of arguing with Katara is don't.

[Text]

[save_the_souls]

Not you too-

She started it! I can't not fight her if she started it!

action! FUCK YOUR TEXTING

[bolder]

[A little bit after the blow up with at involving Katara, Toph goes straight to Allen's location (thank you feet) to hang or whatever will end up happening.

It just so happens to be the cargo bay. For the moment she'll just sit on a crate and face in his direction, "staring" at him silently. For some reason, it's pretty creepy when a blind person does that.]

Action!

[save_the_souls]

[Before he talked with Ino and Zuko, he can be found out in cargo bay- just as Toph sensed. He's currently punching away at a punching bag like it personally cheated him out of some money- unlike his usual much calmer routines. There's a good amount of aggression to work out, after all.]

[It takes him a bit to notice that Toph is there, but eventually he starts to wear himself out that he does feel some eyes "staring" at his back. So eventually he turns and- totally jumps out of surprise]

- Ah! How long have you been there?!

[voice]

[summerschild]

Allen!

[Bran sounds far more excited than Allen has likely ever heard him.]

My sister just got here, Sansa. When we go back to the ships, can she live with us?

[voice]

[save_the_souls]

Ah- really? Your sister is here?

[AND ITS NOT THE VIOLENT ONE?? BONUS.]

That's great! I'll have to check with Sokka, but I'm sure he'll say yes!

[text]

[delincuente]

soooooooo

guess who said he loves me

i'm annoyingly cheery right now
so you should keep a wide berth
i'll prob vomit sparkles or something
it's gross

[text]

[save_the_souls]

Oh my God he did?? Really??

That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you-


Wait. The answer is Stefan right?!

[voice]

[summerschild]

[Bran's using his "Lord Voice", and Allen hasn't heard it to this degree yet. In the past, it's always been filled with childish petulance. Now, the kid may as well be negotiating battle strategies.]

Allen, I need to speak with you. Someone else from Westeros has arrived on the Marsiva. He's helped me before in the past, but his family is... [Is murderous? Questionable at best?] ... I have reason not to trust a Lannister. And I don't know if I should trust him, after what I know they've done.

His name is Tyrion Lannister. Please keep an eye out for him.

[voice]

[save_the_souls]

[He hears the message and turns on his voice to reply to it quick. He hasn't heard this tone from Bran, but he recognizes it from others. Enough to know that it's serious]

Tyrion Lannister? I can't say I've heard that name before.

What is it that his family has done to earn distrust? [He's not judging, he knows damn well he'd feel this sentiment if another person from the Noah family showed up. Still, it'd be good to know]

[dancingmd]

Allen,

There is something I need to tell you, in regards to the calibrations. It's nothing urgent or dangerous, but it is important, so whenever you have a chance, I'd like to speak with you somewhere private.

Thank you,

Beverly

text

[save_the_souls]

[There's a pause as he gets that message. He remembers the last few times she's called him to talk somewhere private, and considering how the other discussions about calibrations with other people were about...]

Beverly,

Considering this is the Marsiva, I doubt anywhere is truly private.

If it isn't urgent or dangerous, is it something that could be done over the communicator? Is this about something you saw in my calibration?

A.W.

hey i need you to hold on to this thing i'm baout to send

bear w/me ok

[save_the_souls]

[Wow his typing is even worse than usual...]

Um....okay? What is it?

[voice; 11/26]

[summerschild]

[Whoop, here comes another call quite similar to Bran's last. Only this time, the concern in his voice is mostly replaced with uneasiness.]

Allen? I'm afraid that my sister and I are in need of a favor.

[voice; 11/26]

[save_the_souls]

small>[Well this isn't good]

What's wrong, Bran?

voice; 12/7

[arcanepower]

[A hesitant, but familiar voice is on the other end.]

Allen? Are you there?

voice; 12/7

[save_the_souls]

[There's a delay in response, but only because he had to find his communicator as it rings]

Ah- Belthazar? I'm here.

text (shhhhh)

[kotatsu]

Hey Allen!
Is this you?

[ picture attachment: tubbsthecat.jpg ]

text (man I thought I had replied to this)

[save_the_souls]

[Unfortunately for Nanako, Allen is probably the most literal person when it came to identities. Nor did it help that that he wasn't all that fond of cats. So...there's a long long pause before he finally answers]

No, I believe that's a cat.

text; 12/14 (let's go ahead and mark this NSFW)

[geonomy]

soooooo

i've been thinking for hours about how to say this elegantly but i cn't so

i oculdn't help but notice that there are a few palces we can be alone

like alone alone

text; 12/14 YEAH!!

[save_the_souls]

[ There's a brief pause before he replies ]

...Well that's rather uncouth and ungentlemanly of you, Captain Terran.

[Yes, he may be screwing with him]

voice;

[stefanged]

[Sometime after this offer is extended to Stefan, he'll hit Allen up (and sound way too cheerful):]

Hey, Allen. You'll never guess what just happened - I met another native Arabic speaker on the Iskaulit, and she wants to keep practicing with me.

I know I don't celebrate Christmas or anything, but it sure felt like it came early this year.

voice;

[save_the_souls]

[The message doesn't get responded to for about an hour or two, since Allen had had his communicator shut off. But he'll respond. He sounds sincerely happy for Stefan, but there's an edge of tiredness in his voice]

Hey, that's great news Stefan! That'll give you lots of excellent practise!

Who is she?

PRESENT

[bolder]

[Any time on or after the 25th, when Allen enters his room, he'll find a small, personal set of sturdy silverware. On the underside, right at the top of the handle, this is etched into the metal.

And yeah, she broke into your room again.]

26th Morning; ACTION

[save_the_souls]

[So the morning after Christmas is all said and done with, Allen's in a much better mood. He's gone back to his room and found the silverware! Oh man, these are great! Even if Toph broke into his room again, it's so great to have personalized silverware!]

[Except not only is Toph's present there, but there seems to be a bag of potatoes with blue arrows next to her gift! Which...not getting the meaning of the blue arrows, and assuming it was Toph's version of a weird joke- he rolls his eyes. Spud. Great.]

[But even if it's an annoying nickname joke, he's not going to waste food! So he'll haul that sack of potatoes, dump it on the counter wit and grab some potatoes to start chopping some up for hashbrowns. And he'll even feel generous enough when he hears Zuko and Toph mingling, to step over and ask]

Hey Toph! Thank you for the present! Would you like some breakfast?

Text, backdated to December 25th

[survivalistcookbook]

Hey, thanks for the gift basket. Completely unnecessary, but I'm not about to say no to a good old-fashioned sugar fix.

How did the rest of the blood drive go?

Text, backdated to December 25th

[save_the_souls]

[His response is delayed, which is probably to be expected since hey- Christmas]

Ha- you're welcome! I just wanted to do something special for everyone.

It went quite well! We got a lot of donors this time.

12/28

[delincuente]

[Okay, so she knows for some reason he's a grump about this time of year, but there's no way Alex isn't going to give Allen her gift at all. So, she waits till the 28th before sneaking it over to the Blue Fish.

- One (1) small canvas painting
- One (1) questionable dime store mug

Enoy!]

12/28

[save_the_souls]

[Later in the day, she'll get a text]

Thank you for the presents, Alex! I love the painting!

Though, uh...I don't own a chihuahua, actually.

[text - 1/07]

[delincuente]

hey
i need to talk to you

[text - 1/07]

[save_the_souls]

[ Alex isn't starting off with some weird crack or reference... ]

Is something wrong?

Action - a couple hours after both Casitels have shown up

[onlyanapple]

[Whatever time Allen chooses to go back to his quarters, he will find them not empty. Not that the tiny green snake coiled on his bed takes up much room, but he doesn't really need to. The endless, unhappy groaning noise coming from him is enough to fill the room.

At least he's had the foresight to not bring any alcohol into Allen's room with him. Nope. he just drank it all before he got here.

Surprise demonsnake uncle visits are the best, aren't they?]

Action FOREVER

[save_the_souls]

[Allen hadn't been paying attention to the network. He'd been too busy looking into the mystery of the dismantled blender. But eventually he does make his way back into his room. He didn't notice the snake until it does another round of groaning. Which it takes him a moment to locate where it's coming from, but when he sees the little green snake.]

Huh? Crowley?

What are you doing here?

[text]

[eyeforaneye]

Are you the one that talked to Ino about your appliances?

[text]

[save_the_souls]

[There's a long pause because Allen honestly hadn't meant for Ino to talk to Sasuke about it. It had been a more offhand venting compared to what was going on with Crowley.]

[But ugh. Of course she'd get into the middle of it. Of course.]

I mentioned it offhand, yes.

text;

[geonomy]

hey

you want me over or anything?

[Yes he saw the blender post and all the comments so um yeah]

text;

[save_the_souls]

[Ah...yeah. He was wondering when people would start messaging him about this]

...Can you meet me on the Iskaulit? I'm over there.

[Walking all over the long corridors trying to blow off some steam and all that.]

[thebloodseal]

I'm still not sure what happened, but I hope you're feeling better.

If you want to spar or something, let me know.

text

[save_the_souls]

[It's a bit before he responds. He's not sure how to respond. Since he knows Al is being very nice, and trying to offer a way to help Allen. And he does appreciate that.]

[But on the other hand...he knows Al is a kid, he can see that. A kid that probably has more than enough going on without Allen, a grown man, troubling him. Not to mention, he doesn't know him all that well. So...]

Thank you, Al. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[It's not taking him up on the offer, but it's not rejecting it either]

[Text] | after Azula's post.

[honorbends]

I know we need to talk, and I know I have a lot to apologize for, but Azula is here.

You need to come back to the Blue Fish, if you're not already on your way.

I need to talk to all of you.

[ maybe if he acts like he knows what he's doing he'll believe it one day ]

And if you're willing, I'd like to talk to you privately after.

[Text]

[save_the_souls]

I saw. I'm already on my way back.

[Is he still pissed at Zuko? Oh yeah. But he knows how dangerous Azula can be. And whatever feud was going on between the two of them, he's not about to abandon his crew when they potentially could be in danger]

Any idea where she is in your timeline? [He hadn't bothered to read the comments of the entry. Just the single image of Azula was enough to make him start packing up to head back home]

[Well that makes him laugh]

Yes. I'd say so.
