(no subject)

[before]

[This kitchen is kind of occupied at the moment. Oddly enough, it's by both of the Reds. The older one looks the same he always does, munching on something that no one probably wants to identify while sitting on the table.

The younger looks... well, wherever he's been, he's back to looking very much like a Halloween Town resident. The weight he put on that had him looking vaguely normal is gone again, made even more obvious by the fact that his (torn) jacket is hanging over a chair, leaving him in a black muscle shirt that shows off how freakishly thin he currently is, as well as the faint burn scars running up his arms. He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks, skin even paler than normal, eyes dim and mouth pulled into a frown that seems fixed on his face. He's drinking some sort of coffee-like sludge (it's not sugar causing the drink's appearance) and it looks like the two of them just finished discussing something.]

[stares for a moment. Ewww what is that he's eating.]

[Hey don't knock it 'til you try it, woman. It's delicious.]

she has Akane, I just dunno what to do with her

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[yeah I'll take your word for that.]

Always wondered what happens when someone meets their future self.

alrighty

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

[MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH. The younger is pretty unresponsive, so he'll be doing the talking for now.]

We're just waiting for the world to implode, don't worry.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

What happened to him?

[nods at younger!Red]

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

Nothing out of the ordinary.

[He's not giving answers that easily. The younger shoots Larxene a vague glare at the question, but it doesn't even last a few seconds before he's back to staring at his coffee... stuff.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Funny how I don't believe that.

[Neither of them are someone she was expecting to see, considering her recent conversation with the older one. So you can imagine the look of surprise on her face when she glances in as she goes past, and suddenly stops.]

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

[Older one is dipping his head in acknowledgment to her entering. The younger seems pretty dead to the world.]

[dawnrise]

[She glances between them, looking at the older one with clear confusion on her face before she steps inside. Well, enough to be just out of the doorway. But then he's getting ignored as she takes in the younger one's appearance, looking just a bit startled.]

What happened to you?

[before]

[He glances away from his coffee briefly to look at her, but doesn't respond. Sorry, Riku, coming out of hiding early means he's still kind of out of it.]

[dawnrise]

[Well, fine then. She'll just turn her attention to his older self.]

Do you want to tell me what's going on?

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

Kid's not so good at taking care of himself.

[That, at least, gets a dirty look from his younger self.]

Back in Halloween Town, he had to to keep going with his job. Here, not much reason.

*this Daddy is looking a bit ragged around the edges as he comes in looking for coffee, eyeing both the Reds before focusing on the older one that he's more familiar with*

Red, you on babysitting duty anytime soon?

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

Possibly. Why?

[That's okay, the younger is quite happy to ignore him.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

There's a cold going around the kids, you know how it is. One gets sick and the others get sick. Rikka's got it, and so does Sora. Kira's safe so far because she's been spending time with her Auntie Piku-pie and her new cousin.

*he knows not to get too specific with the younger-Red around*

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

[Eugh sick children. And that's nice of you, Ri. It's too bad the younger's finding out anyway because of Larxene! :D]

Right.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*ohnoes~*

You might want to tie back your hair around Kira, too. She's been grabbing on and chewing on any she gets a hold of.

[stillunburned.livejournal.com]

[Oh man if this post hadn't just happened, there would be such a tantrum post right now.]

I'll try and remember that.

*damn, look at all of those Axels!*

[before]

[Noooo, there are no Axels in this kitchen.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*there are Reds, which are Axels enough! Sora is bouncing happily towards whichever not!Axel is closest*

[before]

[That would be this grumpy, sickly looking younger one at the table!]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora bounces over then and drapes his arms over his shoulders, the way Soras tend to do*

Hi Red!

*is frowning at how skinny you are :<*

[before]

[He's a little surprised by that and looks up sort of blankly.]

Sora.
