5th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[There's a frown on Lloyd's face as the video feed comes on, the kind of frown someone gets when they're facing a problem they haven't managed to figure out.]

During the last full moon, did anyone see anything strange? [He scratches his jaw unconsciously - is that a hint of fuzziness there?] I mean, strange lights or circles of mana on the ground. That kind of thing.

...what does that have to do with anything?

Well, think about it. That'd be too much hair on a person. It kinda over does it. And besides, I'm not into the whole hairy thing. I like my long hair by itself.

[Plus Zelos wouldn't be caught DEAD with a beard

[redcladidealist]

[A pause, then Lloyd's mouth twitches as he tries not to grin.] What if you got a haircut?

[lethal-smile.livejournal.com]

Hm.

No. I haven't heard anything about that either. I was mainly concerned with avoiding the illusions, myself. They were unsettling.

[redcladidealist]

Damn... [Lloyd scratches his jaw again, frowning.] I wonder if it just didn't open because of all the clouds...

So what did you see?

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

..Besides getting it trimmed? Uh, no.

[redcladidealist]

Why not? I could help you cut it in the back where you can't see!

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

Do it and I'll kill you!

[...tying his hair up now.]

[redcladidealist]

[Now it's Lloyd's turn to try not to laugh out loud.] Aw, come on, I'm just teasing you. I'm not sure what I would do with a Zelos who looked like a normal person.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

You do know you have hair on your face, right?

[Because he just doesn't look aware of it.]

[redcladidealist]

Huh? I do? [He brushes his cheeks with a gloved hand.] Did I get it off?

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

Isabelle Lightwood. Still don't know who killed her.

--But I'm looking.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

No, you didn't.

[Facepalm.]

I don't think it's something you can just brush off.

[lethal-smile.livejournal.com]

An old acquaintance... of sorts. Or at least, I thought I did.

She couldn't have actually been here.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd's brow furrows in confusion. He scratches his jaw now, trying to get the supposed hair off.] Did someone glue it on? Wait... [Suspicious.] Damnit, I bet it was Zelos! What else did he do to my face?

[redcladidealist]

Why not? If you made it here, couldn't she have, too?

[redcladidealist]

[He doesn't know the name, but that doesn't make this any less horrific. Lloyd clenches his hand and nods, his mouth forming a hard, thin line.]

I'll look, too. I'll tell you if I find anything.

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

. . .Yeah.
Just like before.

[redcladidealist]

[Puzzled.] Before?

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

It's nothing, you're better off just looking out for yourself.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd looks almost offended at the idea.] No way! Dwarven vow number two: Never abandon someone in need. I'm not just going to look out for myself, Haseo. I want to help.

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

. . . Tch!

[redcladidealist]

Why? [Yeah, like Lloyd's going to accept something like that.] If someone got murdered, wouldn't it be better to have more people watching out for whoever it was who did it?

[lethal-smile.livejournal.com]

She would've contacted me by now, if it were really her.

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

The more people get involved the more people could get hurt, idiot! I know what I'm talking about!
