[ There's nothing in the hallway at first, and then a storm cloud passes by. Thunder roars, lightning strikes the ground --

And there's a Larxene, dusting her shoulders. Flashy entrance is flashy, but still. ]

[In the next room, there is an Even, seated on a couch with a book. He glances up at the flashiness, aaand loses interest.

After scoffing loudly, of course.]

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ What should be more interesting is the lady looking ever so curiously-then-intrigued at Even. Well. ]

I thought you weren't supposed to exist anymore.

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[He glances up from his book, again, to raise eyebrows at her.]

You must be looking for someone else, then.

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ Walks towards him, head tilted to the side. The clothing should say something -- ]

You're even dressed normally for once. What's going on, Vexen? [ Heard him the first time, time to irritate -- ]

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[She's already worse than Xigbar.]

Even. [Sorry, you're not important enough for him. Going back to his book now -- ]

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ She has to be. Quirks a brow, beeends forward to push that book down and get one good look at. His. Face. ]

You're joking. So funny.

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[Fixes her with a flat glare, just because she's interrupting his reading. It's Important, okay.]

I'm not laughing.

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

I am. [ 'Ahahahahaha!' -- keeps that book down with one hand. It sparks once. ]

Are you really his Other? Because I can't see the difference.

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[Glares down at the sparking. Don't do that.]

I have a heart.

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

Let's test it, then.

[ Puts one finger against his chest where his heart should be. Zap. ]

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[That's not good. He freezes lol irony alert, staring, knuckles white where he's gripping the book. After a second he shakes, drops the book, and swipes at Larxene with one hand, clutching his chest with the other.

Pardon him while the pain in his chest prevents him from formulating words.]

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ Instead of dodging, she grabs that hand to check for a pulse. It's going fast -- ]

You know, I always did want to see what it feels like to have a heart attack.

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[Oh god did he just have a heart attack should he be seeking medical attention-- Please, enjoy his breathing being heavy suddenly. That was his heart, you bitch.]

Why did you do that? Do not say it was because you were curious or you thought it was funny-- [Default Braig reasons, but they're eerily applicable right now.]

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

It's easy to notice whether someone has a heart or not. It just depends on the method -- oh, maybe I should have broken the toy instead.

[ Lets go of his hand. ] You've met him, haven't you? Whatever this world is.

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

What toy?

[N, that's all you're getting out of him, his chest hurts.]

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ Raises one of his hands by the wrist between her thumb and forefinger. ]

This toy. It should be easy enough, especially since it looks like you have no... ice.

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[Pulls his hand back, thank you very much.]

Don't touch me. I've done nothing to you.

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

No. You have already just by existing.

Wasn't it obvious?

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[Oh she just had to push that button. Glowers.]

I'm not Vexen.

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ Here comes another button: ] Why do you think I said exist?

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[SIGH. Aggravated.]

Well, whatever your problem with him is has nothing to do with me.

[Because timelines. And partly because NOBODIES ARE BRAIG'S FAULT not that he knows this.]

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

Then get out of my face. I'm tired of seeing yours.

[ Yes, she wants that specific couch -- ]

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[Affronted:]

I was here first, thank you.

[volticrush.livejournal.com]

[ Electricity's flowing everywhere. She's not afraid to use it -- ]

[bitchprentice.livejournal.com]

[He stares her down as best he can before his abject fear of more zapping causes him to sigh and move to the other end of the couch. That's all she's getting -- ]
