Fourth Wall Fun

[water_wine_wizard]

[It's Audio for the moment and it's a very Irrate Laruna. Which is unusual for her, no?]

What are you doing here!? I can't believe you showed up. Can't you just... be somewhere else and not be here?

[A second voice, male, answers her, not at all put out by the anger.]

I'm not allowed to check up on you and see how you're doing when I've gotten the chance?

No! It's bad enough to know that you can see me here! I don't need you to actually be here!

But it's the only time I'm all- OW!! You hit me!

You deserved it! Jerk!

[Action:

Laruna can be spotted stalking around town with a gentleman with a black eye following her. The man looks enough like her that it's easy to see that they're siblings, but he's got pointy ears on him unlike Laruna.]


((Laruna and her twin brother! Replies will be coming from this account or element_wizard))

[Jem is far too happy, he's seen his parabatai, and now he's pleased to see anyone who has found someone they know.]

Was it you who gave your companion the black eye?

[water_wine_wizard]

Yes. And he deserved it too.

Did not.

Ignore him. He's an idiot. [He sulks. She smiles.]

And how are you?

[silvering]

This sounds like how my meeting with Will went, except we didn't make it to punches.

[Still the same fondness is there. It's easy to see with these two despite the squabbling.]

It is an impressive black okay.

I am good, I was... relieved to see someone from home.

[water_wine_wizard]

[Siblings. Can't live with them. Can't throw this one off a cliff and hope he dies. In a fire.]

Thank you! [She seems pleased at the compliment about the eye.] You're luckier than I am. Though while I wouldn't mind seeing some people from home, I wish it wasn't him.

Who's Will?

[silvering]

Will is my parabatai, he's the closest thing I have to a brother.

[He looks curious,]

Do you two always get on like this?

[water_wine_wizard]

What language is that?

[Then at the same time..]

Yes. No. No. Yes.

[silvering]

It is a language used by demon hunters. A parabatai means fighting brothers. We have each others back in everything that we do.

[He laughs.]

I am sorry, but you are two are a little amusing.

[element_wizard]

Demon hunters? Cool! OW!

[Laruna has stepped on her brother's foot. Considering he's wearing steel toed boots, that's a feat.]

We'd be less amusing if he wasn't here.

[silvering]

Do demon hunters exist in your world?

[Jem inclines his head.]

I am sure you are capable of being amusing without his presence.

[water_wine_wizard]

No. We don't have demons in our world. However I've visited plenty of worlds with demons and demon hunters.

[Laruna smiiiiiiiiles at him.]

Oh, I'm very amusing and entertaining and wonderful company without him.

[Alec rolls his eyes.]

[candothat]

Is this your brother?

[element_wizard]

Yes! Hi!

[There's a scuffling noise.]

Stop! I can talk to people if I want! OW!

[candothat]

Miss Laruna has told me a little about you. You are also magic?

[element_wizard]

[He manages not to snicker too loudly at "Miss Laruna" (he's her brother, he's allowed) and then there's another ow. The comm crackles briefly and then Alec comes back on.]

I am. I'm all sorts of magic.

I'm also sure that everything she's told you about me is a horrible lie.

[candothat]

I cannot confirm or deny that. Do you not get along with her?

[element_wizard]

Oh we do get along perfectly well back home. She's just not happy I showed up here and decided to be nosy. Apparently I'm allowed to show up anywhere else in the multiverse except for where she is.

[Grumble]

[candothat]

That is a common sentiment among siblings, I think--to not want brothers or sisters nearby. Secretly, she likely missed you.

[element_wizard]

Possibly. [He'll allow that.]

Do you ... who are you anyway?

[He knows. But it's rude to say that you know when you're not supposed to know these things.]

[candothat]

Pavel Chekov, from the year 2258. Pleased to meet you.

[element_wizard]

Chekov? Really?

[He sounds like he recognizes the name. It also sounds like there's a bit of barely contained squee.]

From the Enterprise?

[Odd. Laruna's never seemed to indicate any knowledge of Chekov's world.]

[candothat]

Yes, the navigator of the Enterprise. Do you know of me?

[That... wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen here. The exploits of the Enterprise are remarkably well-known across the multiverse.]

[element_wizard]

[This is true! And Alec is familiar with several versions of that.]

Yes. I do. The cute Russian one. Youngest officer in Star Fleet.

[candothat]

[Oho, so Alec does know of him!]

That is all correct. May I ask your name?

[element_wizard]

[Also, he's totally not flirting.]

I'm Alec Troven. Laruna's twin brother. We've got another brother but he's not coming.

[candothat]

And all three of you are wizards?
