[Video Post]

[justicereigns]

[The video hangs from a bird's eye view literally, swaying up high in the wind and zooms in slightly on two shadowy figures. A grey-haired kid is leaning over a woman and from behind you can't tell who it is. There's brightly colored balls around them and it's fairly bouncy. Grey-haired man leans in and kisses the woman, the black wispy dress sticking out sort of triangular around the legs. The camera angle zooms away into the sky and the video cuts out.]


[[ooc note: Timcampi -- Allen's lost golem video taped Miranda and Gokudera kissing. Not my idea. Blame Shichi. And Nat and Robin *cough cough* He then hacked Smoker's laptop and posted it directly. ENJOY~~ Smoker will delete the video much much later tomorrow when he figures out how to because Tim encoded it fufufu]]

..... Miranda you're a horrible liar. Some day I want to play poker with you. You have no bluff.

That is more or less impossible. I've had more money than I know what to do with for some time. Marines don't get the full money for bounties but they do get partial bonuses. I hunt pirates for fun. He cannot possibly deplete our resources. Even if he was a D.

A-After having seen Allen play poker, I never intend to play, thanks.</s. I guess he's in the right place then. Komui would worry about our wages sometime when the boy was in headquaters and hungry...

Re: Private // unhackable

I don't allow cheating at my poker table.

I won't let him get hurt. I was almost always hungry when I was his age. The year before I joined the marines. That's when I really hit my growth spurt. Until then I was tiny.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

Don't play with Allen, then.

Ah... thank you for taking care of them so well.

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

I'm sure he just needs to be shown he doesn't have to cheat to win.

.... Hn. It's my job Miranda.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

...right. Good luck.

Still. Thanks.

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

Tsk.

You don't think it's interfering?

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

No? Why would it be?

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

Lavi.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

You think you're interfering with his job as a Bookman?

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

No.

I think he thinks I'm interfering with Allen's job.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

...what did he say exactly?

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

... Some things I'd really rather not... He's...

Hn.

In short that Allen isn't my kid, one of my men and as such I should let him go if Cross wishes to take him from the marines though he thinks it's unlikely.

I don't like this. Just... any of it.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

...I'm afraid I'd have to agree with Lavi, Smoker. I know that... it's not the best of situations, and I sort of don't want him to go with the General either if he does show up, but...

You have to understand. Allen... Allen has a duty higher than that of an Exorcist. He's... the Destroyer of Time. He's the one that's supposed to end this war, though... it's... not exactly sure for which side he's going to end it...

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

So I'm just supposed to abandon him to whatever fate supposedly has in store him? I don't believe in destiny. I believe in justice. And letting him get hurt just so he'll get stronger from it.... What if he dies here Miranda? Then it wouldn't even matter. I can't just...

I'm not trying to interfere. But I can't stand by and make him face something he shouldn't have to. It's not justice. He trusts Cross and from everything I'm hearing the man doesn't deserve it. If he runs off I have little doubts he'll wind up in piracy and...

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

Smoker. He is not going to die. There have been... so many instances in which he was supposed to die. And he doesn't. Something or someone protects him. And he's not the only one. Rinali was supposed to die too. And she was saved. Lavi too. Even me. There's... we won't be allowed to die. We need to accomplish something before that happens, though I'm not sure what.

I have more faith in Allen than that. He will not turn into a pirate. For God's sake he's a Noah! He's supposed to be on the enemy's side, but he's not. His sense of justice keeps him doing the right thing. You surely do not need to worry about him.

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

Hn.

Then why does he have to go? Paying off Cross' debts through any means... Tsk.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

Smoker, that we know of, General Cross isn't even here. And if he isn't, he may never show up.

He doesn't have to go. There's a chance he might not. The bottom line is it's Allen's decision who he stays with. If this Allen is anything like the one back home, I don't think he'll go back with the General.

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

... I... yes... Hn.

I never intended to force Allen to stay Miranda. I simply don't wish to allow him to be forced or manipulated if I can stop it either. I never meant to take his real choice away, just give him the other option as well. Normally.... I would stand aside. I would tell him to go. So that I would even ask him to stay in spite of that... It's disconcerting.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

Believe me when I say he will not be forced or manipulated into anything. The Order already tried that, and he perservered.

You care about him. It's understandable. I feel the same way you do; caring but not wanting to care too much but it can't be helped.

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

Good. If he carves his own path, follows his own justice, I'll never worry.

Hn. Caring about someone it just happens. You can't stop it and it's a good thing. It makes us human no matter how far we travel or what we do or what we're capable of.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

He will. So don't.

I-I guess so...

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

I'm going out. If Karen worries let her know. She'll know how to find me.

Re: Private // unhackable

[time-exorcist.livejournal.com]

Be careful. Don't do anything rash.

Re: Private // unhackable

[justicereigns]

I'm not being rash I just can't take staying cooped up and not hunting for another second.
