I'll be staying out in the cave where Leto used to live for awhile longer, I think. Whatever the Malnosso did to me, it's set control of my Alter back to less than what I had even as a child. If I stay very calm and don't exert myself, I can manage not to... destroy things around me, but it is difficult to even maintain that level.

It seems to be easier to keep control with Kazuma around; though I am usually far from calm around him, perhaps it is the effect of another Alter-user being in the vicinity. Kazuma, I suppose I am in your debt.

I have to request that anyone else stay away from here, though. I cannot be sure of my power at the moment, and I do not wish to accidentally harm anyone. Duo, this means you. Are you well?

[Private, about 30% hackable to those he knows]
It is... difficult, being here. He did not leave much behind, but I am still reminded of our time together. I wish that I had gone somewhere else. Staying... calm is not the easiest task.

What? You're gunna eat nuts and berries up there? I'm bringin' ya food and clothes and stuff and you're gunna learn ta like it 'cause ya can't stop me without riskin' hurtin' me. See? So don't even bother ta argue 'cause I win either way. Now, what do ya need from town?

[Yes, the supply mission is just an excuse to check on his friend. Yes, he'll come no matter what Ryuhou says. No, he doesn't like Ryuhou being up there alone. Yes, he's totally healed and ready to have his ass kicked again.]

Don't even think about it, Duo. Kazuma's brought plenty of food and supplies up here. He's the only one who I know I can't hurt.

[voice]

[colony_brat]

Well, too bad 'cause I already thought 'bout it. I bet her forgot somethin'. I wouldn't worry 'bout me either. Even if ya slip a little, I bet you'd stop it 'fore I died so no big deal. Now, whatcha want?

[voice]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Duo. I don't want you here, do you understand? It's not safe, I don't even want to risk... augh!

[There's a sharp cracking sound, then the sound of rocks falling. Ryuhou is breathing heavily, struggling for control.]

Do. Not. Come. Here.

[voice]

[colony_brat]

[Duo sighs.] I should bring ya some of Kam's lube so you can rub one off and maybe relax 'nough ta get that stick outta your ass. Here I thought it was 'bout ta come out and then it wiggles itself right back up there.

[He hasn't agreed, but he hasn't said he's still coming up there either. Ryuhou is making it easy to find him too. If anything, it's like he's needling the poor guy.]

..... [He's not even sure how to respond to that.]

I have lost control of my power. It is highly dangerous for anyone but Kazuma to be here with me. I can't believe you're even relating it to that.

[Seeing as how he's nearby, Kazuma can't help but hear Duo's comment, so Duo will be able to hear Kazuma as he calls over to Ryuhou]

You really live with that guy--and you ain't killed him yet? Tch.

[And some more incoherent grumbling as he moves out of earshot.]

Everybody take cover!

[colony_brat]

EXACTLY! [Duo know loves Kazuma now for making his point for him.] Ya haven't killed me yet and I've been way more annoyin' before. If I behave myself, ya shouldn't have a problem at all. See? I think 'bout stuff and junk.

:|

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

[He'll be sending Kazuma a glare.] It's not just you being annoying, Duo. It's that I can't be responsible for what might happen to you. If I hurt you, even accidentally, I'd never forgive myself.

...even if I do want to hit you some days.

[colony_brat]

Well, it wouldn't be your fault 'cause you yelled at me and didn't want me to be there and I came there anyway. Ya wouldn't have ta forgive yourself 'cause it wasn't your fault and I wouldn't blame ya anyway. We'll just keep ya calm and I'll talk to ya a little and then be on my way.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Do you not understand that your very presence tends to agitate me? [There's a sigh.] I suppose nothing I say will keep you from coming up here.

[colony_brat]

[Duo sighs and rolls his head back.] I piss ya off that bad just bein' around ya? Do I smell or somethin'? Look, if I annoy ya that much, I don't have ta come see ya. You can enjoy the time away from me.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

It's not... [He sighs, and there might have been a facepalm in there too.] It's not annoyance, Duo. But you do tend to make me not calm around you.

[colony_brat]

[Does he do it? Should he say it? Of course.] "Not calm" round me~? Does Ryuhou get all excited by me~? Should I ask Hijiri if he minds sharin' the bed with one more~?

[Of course this is not helping his case.]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

......

That is not what I meant, and you know it.

[colony_brat]

Did ya destroy anything that time though?

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Only with great effort.

[colony_brat]

Soooo... you can control and I can act like a good boy... where's the problem?
