[Those who have seen Lenalee will note that everything about her in this video appears off. Her skin is grey, her hair is long and pulled up in twin ponytails, with black stigmata on her forehead peeking out from behind her bangs. Her uniform is replaced by a long purple dress, and the way she carries herself suggests that she is not amused, but otherwise quite calm.]

Road, I am not in the mood for this.

[Several seconds tick by as she stands unnaturally still, apparently waiting for something. Seconds turn to minutes. Eventually her frown becomes more pronounced.]

The Earl is going to give you a lecture...

[OOC: If you're going to interact with her in person, please let me know if she has permission to mess up your character or not, though that probably won't happen unless she's provoked. Rundown of her powers is here under 'body manipulation.']

Did something happen to you?

[Because you seem...different.]

[Lenalee eyes the blackberry with a light scowl. That someone she doesn't recognize is addressing her so casually is annoying enough, but not knowing what he is irritates her more. Her first thought is an akuma, but she can't feel his presence.]

Yes. I appeared here. Who are you?

[fastest-speed.livejournal.com]

Me? My name's Burter.

We've, uh, met before. Don't you remember?

Video

[crystalline_skies]

No. I have never seen you before.

[Despite the clipped tone, she does study him more carefully. Maybe he is someone that she knew before awakening as a Noah? No, he and this place are uniquely unfamiliar.]

What are you?

[fastest-speed.livejournal.com]

What am I? What do you mean?

[crystalline_skies]

You are not human. You are not an akuma. You are certainly not a Noah. So what are you?

Video

[fastest-speed.livejournal.com]

This is...rather sudden. Why do you need to know?

[Were he his usual self, his answer might have been "I'm the fastest in the Universe!"]

Video

[crystalline_skies]

Because when I ask a question I expect an answer.

Hold on a minute! You don't have to be so demanding!

Hmmmm, did a Noah get stuck here to?

[Lenalee could feel the akuma's presence approaching her far before she could see it. It brought a familiar sense of control that she appreciated in this foreign world. She waited patiently for it to find her, seeing no reason to call out to the akuma when it was already on the right path.]

[But when it finally turned the corner, Lenalee froze. She could only stare wide-eyed at his face, feeling what he was beneath the skin despite what her eyes were telling her. But...]

... Allen?

[In Person]

[whitefacedclown.livejournal.com]

That was my name once.



May I ask why you thought to call me that? it's one I haven't heard of in a while.

[In Person]

[crystalline_skies]

How could you become like this? You know better.

[She beckoned him forward, trying to understand how it could have happened. The Allen that she knew before awakening was not foolish enough to try to create an akuma, no matter who he lost. Though she had only seen him a few times since, always in battle, she did not think that that could change.]

How could I become this? That's a pretty easy question that you could properly answer yourself? Although, on that day I can only remember small bits and pieces of that time. Most of it was a blur.

[In Person]

[crystalline_skies]

[Of course he wouldn't remember. This isn't really Allen, after all. Just an akuma wearing his skin. The thought makes her feel more than she would have expected. Without warning, she reverts to her human form, grey skin receding to reveal a warm flesh tone.]

Do you recognize me like this?

[She just has to make sure.]

[In Person]

[whitefacedclown.livejournal.com]

Not at all, no.

[In Person]

[crystalline_skies]

[A short nod is her only response, and Lenalee reverts to her Noah form almost immediately.]

No matter. Have you seen anyone else of your kind here, or another Noah?

Lena-chan?

What happened to you, Lena-chan?

[crystalline_skies]

Why are you calling me that?

Re: video;

[the2nd-kira.livejournal.com]

Then... you're not Lena-chan?

[crystalline_skies]

I am Lenalee. Do not refer to me as anything else.

[the2nd-kira.livejournal.com]

Lena-chan is acting weird!

[crystalline_skies]

I just told you not to call me that.

[ Frowns. She isn't scared at all anymore. ]

Misa will call you whatever she likes!

And Misa wants the old Lena-chan back!

... I wonder what makes you think you can address a Noah that way, girl.
