[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.]

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

Always wondered what happens when someone meets their future self.

alrighty

[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.

What happened to him?

[nods at younger!Red]

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]
dawnrise: (always closer than you think)

[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.]

[Older one is dipping his head in acknowledgment to her entering. The younger seems pretty dead to the world.]
dawnrise: (someone very special)

[personal profile] dawnrise 2010-01-10 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[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?
dawnrise: (I wouldn't be too sure of that)

[personal profile] dawnrise 2010-01-10 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, fine then. She'll just turn her attention to his older self.]

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

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] lightning-larx.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Funny how I don't believe that.

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Give me a reason to explain and I will.
dawnrise: (I'll tell you why)

[personal profile] dawnrise 2010-01-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently.

[She's doing a good job holding back the snarky commentary, and crashes back to lean against the doorway, arms crossed. She looks casual, but she keeps glancing back at the younger Red.]

I'm not getting an explanation past that, am I?

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He might tell you eventually, if you ask nicely.

[That was... vaguely teasing, and gets another dirty look and a grunt.]

[identity profile] lightning-larx.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[shrugs]

Out of the goodness of your heart.

[goes to a cabinet, rummaging through for something for dinner]

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry that has him laughing loudly for a moment, almost harshly.]

Nahhh.

[identity profile] lightning-larx.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Nevermind, then.

[she's just nosy.]
dawnrise: (don't give up)

[personal profile] dawnrise 2010-01-10 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[It gets an annoyed look out of her.]

Right.

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Heh. He's going to watch her, since at the moment she's a lot more entertaining than Mr. Braindead here.]

[identity profile] lightning-larx.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[not much to see. She's just getting started cooking dinner. Akane is chilling in her stroller, seemingly trying to reach her own toes to chew on them.]

[identity profile] stillunburned.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Do you see what his younger self is doing? He has been doing this for like an hour now. Anything else is entertainment.]

[identity profile] lightning-larx.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Did he find out about the kid or something?
