"Heeeey, Lysunder's voicemail here, and if you weren't looking for me, well then lucky you, leave a message anyway and maybe it will be the start of something revolutionary. Beep."

For the record, that first beep was him just saying beep. The real beep is in a few seconds.

-Beep.-

You know the new strange children who have been arriving who claim to be connected to us, the adult trolls, in ways that apparently have to do with alternate universes and that strange game of theirs?

[Darkleer still isn't sure what the heck's up with it but hey.]

[rebull]

[rebull]

[eugh...]

[rebull]

...Yeah?

[aim_exorable]

[A snicker.]

You don't care for them?

[rebull]

It's- it's really weird, and unnatural feeling. [Shrugs a shoulder.]

Something's not- right about it. Uh, I'm not sure how to describe it? I just don't think I was ever supposed to- meet- a not me... I don't know...

[aim_exorable]

[Darkleer's own expression gets more somber as well, and he gives a helpless shrug.]

Honestly, I quite agree and I would be lying if I said it was unfortunate that my own... doppleganger has not arrived. It is not a meeting I am looking forward to.

Regardless, I spoke with the... other heiress, and she mentioned something interesting to me regarding my own quadrants in another life.

[rebull]

...Uh- right. [His brows furrow.] What uh- what about them?

[aim_exorable]

Well, as it so happens, both of his red quadrants are full- his diamond filled by a particular oliveblood, and his heart stolen away by one certain bronzeblood.

[rebull]

... uh- ah... huh. [His brows furrow a little.]

[He's not sure, how similar he wants to be to his other self... But that certainly makes him wonder about who ever... the other Darkleer is.]

[aim_exorable]

...You know, I was going to go on a romantic spiel about serendipity and how this just makes me more determined to stay your matesprit, but your mind seems to be wandering off.

[rebull]

It's more- I dunno how I feel about, being so similar to a guy that's me but- [Brows furrow.] I'm jealous without- being jealous. [He shrugs his shoulders sighing.]

I uh, don't know, I am how I am because of everything that's happened to me, that I've done, but uh- to meet someone that's me that's not me because of everything he's done- it's kind of, uncomfortable I guess? But- [Right, Darkleer's trying to get good out of this and he's just rambling and most likely not doing hot at 'getting the good out of this'. A pause.]

In, whatever instance I live, I fall for ya some how then, is what you're trying to say?

[aim_exorable]

...That was a point I was attempting to make, yes.

[Just a slow shake of his head. Oh Summoner! What is he going to do with you.]

I suppose I should stick to the more typical gestures of romance instead of getting spiritual with you.

[rebull]

[Continue to hold him slanted over the ground. because yeah that is still happening. Granted Summoner's kind of let himself go limp by now so it's all good.]

No, heh, I followed the teachings of The Signless. I can get spiritual. After all, I guess uh, whatever world those other guys are from is what he had been talking about, right?

[aim_exorable]

Hmm... I suppose that didn't occur to me, but depending on things..

[Adjusting Summoner in his arms, Darkleer thinks about it for a moment.]

I wish I could know more about Beforus. If it is really all he preached.

[rebull]

Uh, maybe it was more, the potential, is what he preached? But Signless spoke up a place in his dreams or mind that was peaceful, so uh, maybe it was Beforus?

[aim_exorable]

I suppose we'll just have to wait. [Sigh.] I've mostly kept my distance away from the game the children talk about, but I suppose we're more connected than we thought.

[rebull]

Nah, we're not. I'm not. I have a life and it doesn't involve games, no matter how- dangerous that game of there's is. [Shakes his head.] What I'm doing is all I need to focus on. [A laugh.] Well, uh, here, er, Alternia, and here in Vatheon being a separate set of what I need to focus ons, I mean...

[aim_exorable]

[Just... gonna put a finger to his lips...]

[rebull]

As a contrast to- uh- mm...

[ :U ]

[ :| ]

[aim_exorable]

[A kiss to right above his eyebrow.]

Let's save the theorizing for later. They're us but not us. Just other children we need to watch out for.

Simple as that, at least for now.

[rebull]

Ah- yeah. Right. [A nod, tightening his arms around Darkleer's neck again.]

[aim_exorable]

Just promise me that if a younger more pitiful version of me is brought into the bubble one day, you won't abandon me for him.

[Not... mentioning that he still might ditch him... for Mindfang...]

[rebull]

[A laugh, furrowing his brows, pulling himself up, more flush against him, head hiding near his neck.]

Well- I can't make promises. [Though his tone is obviously exaggerated, snicker and kissing once at Darkleer's neck.]

Maybe you'll just have ta work extra hard then, eh?

[aim_exorable]

Mmm.

[Just for that, his fingers begin to toy with the base of his wings.]

I'm getting old, now, you know, I'm not sure if I can beat a young troll who has all my good looks and is ten times more pitiable from lack of experience. What do you want me to do, put on a school uniform?
