video/action if you're up to it

[sympathyforme]

[The City is full of dreams today and as it turns out, even the devil's lost soul has dreams. Nightmares, to be precise.

Standing in the middle of a road close to the fountain, Kira is looking unlike himself today, though some might say that it's much more like his true self. With four magnificent black wings sprouting from between his shoulders and a wicked smile on his face, he seems confident in his ability to brave this nightmare.

What he's fighting does - as so often in dreams - not seem to make much sense. Wires, but moving, bloody, deadly. They've already hurt him, but the wounds have healed, just the traces of his own blood still clings to his skin. So far, he's not received lasting damage, but the wires aren't stopping. And - again, as often seems to be the case in dreams - somehow it's just known that these wires want to kill.

There is something to note to those who know Kira better than most: Despite the wings, he still has the bloodmark on his chest, he still fights with Shiranui, the holy sword. He still has a human body. Dreams don't always make sense, after all.]

I'm not dying yet.

[Such confidence, despite the wires just regrowing whenever he manages to land a hit, despite being out of breath already.]

Action

[gotashortfuse]

[Michael is shocked by who he sees. That...That's not possible. His brother is in some human body now. Right? So why is he...?

No. It doesn't matter. Not one bit.

He just lands in front of him, eyes narrowed.]

Action forever! ...first time with these two.

[sympathyforme]

[He might have said something or other, but since there's a vicious attack from a wire right against the body in the way - Michael - what he does instead is reach for Michael's shoulder and pull him to the side.]

Eyes on target.

Action forever! it is!

[gotashortfuse]

[He can't figure out what is going on but those wires... Those are an eerie thing to him and he can't like them at all.]

What is going on here, Lucifer?

Action forever! it is!

[sympathyforme]

Wires are trying to kill me.

[Obviously. And that's another slash at those wires. He might also be ever so subtly standing between the wires and Michael now. Force of protective habit?]

Seems pretty normal, really.

[valentineluke]

Care to explain?

[sympathyforme]

[This is after stuff has been dealt with, because he wasn't about to interrupt trying to survive to take the boss's call.]

...in summary, I have odd dreams.

[Still that set of wings, too. There's a thing he doesn't mind about this.]

Re: (Private Video)

[valentineluke]

I've been harboring a few assumptions since your arrival, but the completely human body contradicts them.

(Private Video)

[sympathyforme]

And what assumptions are those?

[beyourarmy]

Ungh!

[Hi, Four Wings. Meet Six Wings, and he's in a...strage mood. He isn't sure what to make of Kira-Lucifer, and gives him a wary look, but he still drops in on this, Nanatsusaya out in the open, flashing as it cuts through wires.]

You have really creepy dreams, you know that? And thanks for not having this one in the apartment.

[sympathyforme]

[Hello, Six Wings. This is a meeting that never happened quite this way. This is definitely still Kira, but he does have wings Lucifer is known for.]

I'm aware. You're welcome. Now let's kill this thing.

[beyourarmy]

[Setsuna doesn't know that, and he doesn't trust it, either, never turning his back to Kira, or taking his eyes fully off of him - that's dangerous when dealing with these wires. They shoot from all angles.]

Whatever. I only came 'cause you look like you're having trouble.

[sympathyforme]

You're a pal.

[He'd chat more, but those are deadly wires that need to get cut through here.]

I'd not complain about some help.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Oh now isn't that interesting. More than familiar and yet still not...ne would assist but there were the orders to hide their connection and it's not like he can't take care of things on his own.

No comments either, if he wants he'll contact nem.]

[worldofourown]

A curious sight, indeed.

Private

[sympathyforme]

[Only calling back some time later, when the problem is dealt with.]

Dreams are rather curious.

[And he still has his wings.]

Private

[worldofourown]

Yours, moreso,I think.

[sympathyforme]

Not to the dreamer, fly.

...

[Spell ridden Solomon takes note of the dream, eyes following the scene unfold with interest.]

[sympathyforme]

[Taking just a moment to catch on to that.]

How about some assistance instead?

Video

[favoritetraitor]

I suppose I could help you... but might I ask what you have to offer me for my trouble?

It's a dog eat dog world, my friend. Everything comes with a price.

[sympathyforme]

[He has wires to slaughter, so his answer takes some time.]

At the very least, there's a good fight to be had.

... action

[bedsidemanners]

[raphael will do a lot of things]

[but he will not sit in front of a video screen and talk to what appears to be lucifer in the flesh as well as the spirit. so here he is, landing directly in front of him, staring at the scene.]

It's a poor show.

... action!

[sympathyforme]

One of my less inventive dreams.

[So he won't go between Raphael and the wires - there's not that much attachment to his safety - but he does chop off the wires that come from the side, not that it does much good.]

... action!

[bedsidemanners]

Really?

[but on closer inspection-- or as close as raphael's ever likely to get... no. the body's still not right.]

[part of him's disappointed in that. at least if lucifer were back, fully back, there'd be no more of his hiding and his nauseating pretenses at being human. raphael very idly slices away what wires are coming toward him using the wind, but nothing else.]

Are you sure it's not the truth?

... action!

[sympathyforme]

Actually, I'm sure it is.

[Still the human body, hence the slight shortness of breath by now. Sorry, Raphael, Kira finds it nauseating at times, too.]

That's why I said it's not inventive.

[Take that, wires! But, alas, dreams are making them almost as annoying as the real thing.]
