second night

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

{Allen has brought a table full of food with him, which both he and his golem Timcampy are eating as if they hadn't done so in a week. However, he had dinner last night. Such is the life of a glutton. His damaged/really weird looking arm is also in a sling much like the one in the icon, and he has quite a few scratches and bruises. He's been busy working lately!}

...China? Well, at least we have Linali with us, but still. I don't think Rabi speaks Chinese, and I don't speak anything but English.

{He pushes some of the food out of the way and pulls a paper up that's supposed to be a sketch of Cross, but it's just a bunch of scribbles. Unfortunately, Allen cannot draw, and Linali and Rabi don't really know what he looks like.}

At least the food is really good here...Having this uniform is really useful sometimes. We get lots of things without any problems.

{And he keeps eating as he flips through a couple of notes Linali wrote on simple Chinese. Except it's not working well at all, if you speak Chinese and can understand what he's trying to say. Or that he keeps getting distracted by food. Both, really.}

[Argentine crouches down and tilts his head. He wants to examine the scribbles, because it seems almost fun to look at crappy drawings and figure out what the hell it was supposed to be.

But since he has amazing social skills, he feels just sort of getting up in Allen's space is acceptable.]

Uhm...Excuse me? Can I help you?

[artiscordis.livejournal.com]

[He looks up.]

You were drawing.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

Pretty poorly. I'm the only one that's ever really seen a person that my friends and I are looking for, so I had to draw a picture. Or, tried.

[artiscordis.livejournal.com]

What does the person in question look like?

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

Well...Master Cross is pretty tall, with bright red hair. Half of his face is covered by a mask, and he usually wears a hat with a large brim, so not many people get to actually see his face anyways.

[artiscordis.livejournal.com]

That description is somewhat generic and ignores the complex bone structures and features which distinguish humans from one another. However, his manner of dress sounds unique enough that not many would match the verbal description.

[Satoshi WAS going to ask questions, particularly since that arm-in-a-sling is very interesting, but he's caught on that... thing that's supposed to be a drawing]

That's meant to be a person?

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

{NOT EVERYONE CAN BE AN ARTIST, SATOSHI. Luckily, he doesn't look at him just yet, since good is delicious.}

...I'm the only one that knows what Master looks like, so I had to draw it.

[ex_fatalist246]

If you can describe him, I could create a fairly accurate picture of him.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you, it's very kind, but--

{He turns to look at Satoshi, and...what there are two souls. So his eyebrows furrow together, and he instinctively covers the eye with the scar over it}

Excuse me for asking, but what---who exactly are you?

[ex_fatalist246]

[that doesn't bode well]

Hiwatari Satoshi.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

You have two souls. Why is that?

[ex_fatalist246]

[to recover from his surprise, Satoshi adjusts his glasses]

Is that the purpose of that eye?

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

{Since Satoshi didn't try to attack him, it's okay for Allen to be nice again}

It is. But it's a curse, to be quite honest. But it's just unusual to see that, so don't worry. I'm not going to do anything about it.

[ex_fatalist246]

[relaxes slightly]

Is there any reason you drew that person?

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

...Well. He's a general, and my friends and I are looking for him because he's an idiot. And a jerk.

[ex_fatalist246]

If that's the case, I should be able to construct a close image from your description. You could say that ability is connected to what you saw. Either way, I'd like to ask you a few questions about your world for the census I'm compiling.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

...Oh, certainly. To both. Explaining where the drawing came from might be a bit hard, but I can get creative. Thank you.

But before you ask me those questions, I'm Allen Walker. {He offers his okay hand to shake, nodding to the golem still eating}

And that's Timcampy. He's my Master's golem, and helping us find him. If Tim wants to cooperate, he could show you an actual picture, but Master seems to have turned that off, so to speak.

[ex_fatalist246]

[shakes his hand]

May I look at the golem more closely?

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure.

{Allen picks Tim up by the wings, holding him out for Satoshi to take.}

[His best friend was from China and he grew up on the border of it, so understands the language fairly well.] You need to work on your accent.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

I know...I've never spoken anything but English in my life, so it's bad.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

If you truly wish to learn that language, it might best if you chose to focus on only one thing at a time.

[akumas-curse.livejournal.com]

I guess so, but I don't really have the luxury of doing that.
