10th Combo - Video

[He'd been thirsty when he'd woken up early in the morning. Still a little sleepy, the six year old got up to go look for Kratos. Things like cups and faucets were a little beyond his reach. Not without a chair to stand on, but it would be easier to ask his daddy's friend. Besides, a part of him just wanted to see the man again, a tangible presence connected to his father. Being around the man made him feel that much closer to seeing his daddy again.

Yawning, Lloyd put his hand on the door knob of his room-



-and freezes, eyes wide. That's not a six year old hand on the knob. He's not six. He's...

Seventeen.

Seventeen, but he'd been six again for a week. A week he remembers. Sheena and Rise, Dino, Colette, Saki and Zelos, Emil, Haseo, people he didn't even know...

Kratos.

Lloyd can feel the heat of embarrassment creeping up into his face. All the things he'd said and done... and with his friends. With Kratos.]

Aw man...

[A little while later, after he's snuck out of Kratos's house, trying not to wake the man up, the teenager turns his Dreamberry on. His face is still a shade of mortified red.]

Damn it, what does this place have against normal?

So don't recall what caused your condition, nor do you know how you cured it. ... Very useful indeed.

Hey, just because something happens to me doesn't mean I know everything about it.

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

I just figured it would be useful information for future instances, but it seems we haven't learned anything out of it.

[ audio ]

[redcladidealist]

But we know it's possible now, so we can look out for it. That's something, right?

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

That's true. And we know it actually is reversable, one way or another.

[ audio ]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah... That's a good thing to know. [Because not knowing if a friend could ever change back would not be fun at all.]

I'll have to see if I can find out anything else. Maybe there's a way to prevent it.

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

If you do find out anything, let me know. I'd like to receive as much information on the matter as possible to prevent it from occuring.

[redcladidealist]

Sure, uh... Who do I ask for?

[ audio ]

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

Homura. Homura Akemi. ... It would be appreciated.

[ audio ]

[redcladidealist]

Homura. Right. I'll call you if I find anything out.

[And since she already knew his name, he doesn't have to introduce himself.]

See you later, then!

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

That's right. Until then.
