( semi-open )
Date & Time: June 11th
Location: Initiative Hospital
Characters: Lavi, Hospital roomies (Collette & co) and visitors!
Summary: LAVI'S HARD LIFE as he turns back to his normal size at the worst possible time.
Warnings: naked butts.
[ The sound of something ripping is what pulls Lavi away from sleep, drifting back into the land of feverish semi-consciousness. At first he can't really discern whether the sound was something from his dreams or if it came from the room. It's only when he moves a hand to rub his eye that the realization starts dawning on him because his hand is big. The sound had come from him as his body suddenly got too big for the small child-sized hospital gown he'd been wearing.
There's a moment of dumbfounded staring at his own hand before he suddenly bolts upright, exclaiming with breathless excitement: ]
I'm back to normal!
[ And then it occurs to him . . .
Wait shit, he's back to normal and he's not wearing anything nor has anything to wear.
Kanda had said a week, but considering the circumstances he hadn't really kept an eye on the number of passing days. It was hard to when one was stuck in a hospital bed, not always entirely lucid and often losing track of time so he hadn't even thought of asking someone to bring him some clothes in case the effects of the potion finally wore off. It's too late now, but it's still something that needs to be remedied.
So he can only hope he didn't wake anyone else, however unlikely, as he makes a frantic grab for his tablet— and ends up toppling right out of bed with a loud thud. So much for not waking anyone. ]

He puts the tablet aside, sluggishly pushing himself up into a more proper sit. ]
I'm big again! That makes me feel better. [ It's not a total lie, it does cheer him up but it just doesn't change his condition in any way. He's been steadily getting worse if anything (feverish hallucinations and rattling breath were common things now), but there's no point worrying others about it. They were already doing everything they could. ]
How'd it go today?
no subject
The sluggishness is noted, as always. Maybe he does feel a little better, but he's still so ill... Allen's so powerless here. It's awful, only being able to sit by Lavi's side as his condition deteriorates - but he shan't ever give up hope.
He lets out a breath at the question, glancing to the side. Sounding as casual about it as he can,]
We got some information the Initiative might find useful.
no subject
Although some of it fades as Allen glances away. He's curious and he wants to ask, but maybe it's better to do the tactful thing for once and leave it be. They're all tired and worried. It's extremely frustrating though, being confined to a bed when he wants to do nothing more than help catch the people responsible. But all he can do now is try and be supportive. ]
Is that so? Good job! Then you have time to relax now, right?
no subject
He looks at Lavi again, leaning back in his chair with a nod.]
I've enough time to visit, of course. [But not to relax, no. That's Lavi's job right now.]
Have you had much luck, staving off boredom here?
no subject
And Lavi gets what Allen means, but that's fine. His friend was here now so Lavi could make him relax and distract him from everything if only for a little bit. ]
Actually, I have. Collette introduced me to movies, they're fun! They're like recorded plays telling a story. Wanna see?
[ Regardless of the answer, he's already reaching for his tablet again. ]
no subject
Allen raises his eyebrows. He's heard that word, but he still doesn't know what it means!] Collette's mentioned movies to me as well.
[Tilting his head as Lavi grabs the tablet. FINALLY, WILL THE GREAT MOVIE MYSTERY BE SOLVED? Is all it is a recorded play, really...?] So you have one on your tablet? I'd like to see!
no subject
He replies, grinning, as he taps away on the screen to bring up the movie again. ]
I do! It's a good one. I made Yu watch it too. [ He's very pleased about that and it shows. ]
no subject
Kanda, really? [Allen can't imagine Kanda sitting through a play - or anything fun - willingly.] How, did you tie him to something?
no subject
No, he does have a heart, y'know. Even if he doesn't show it!
[ The whole thing might seem even more skeptical as the title The Princess Bride appears on the screen though, at which point Lavi concedes: ]
Ah, but I may have tricked him a little into coming here. I needed clothes too.
[ He holds up an arm, giving the sleeve a shake. ]
no subject
his attention is drawn to the title.]
...'The Princess Bride'??
[What sort of movie is this.]
no subject
He's clapping his hands together in mirth, leaning back into the pillows as he waits for the coughing to subside, shoulders still shaking with silent laughter. Once he has enough breath: ]
Exactly the same reaction! [ Haah priceless. Sorry Allen, he's wiping away a tear before finally answering. ]
Trust me, it's actually pretty good.
no subject
[HOW DARE YOU COMPARE HIM TO KANDA. The coughing fit softens his reaction a bit, though, and he looks back at the screen with a sigh.] What is it about...?
[Because if this is actually a play about a woman's royal wedding, he's calling the nurses in. Lavi is clearly feverish.]
no subject
But that's a comment Lavi wisely keeps to himself so Allen's indignity is met with only a grin. ]
I can't say without giving too much away, but it's an adventure story. It kinda makes fun of other stories like it.
[ There's certainly no weddings to be found on the screen at the moment, with the sick boy playing a game on weird technology before his grandfather drops in to read him a story. ]
no subject
And then Westley and Buttercup are introduced- Allen tilts his head, brow knit. It's very nice and all, that they love each other and such, but] I thought you said it was an adventure story?
[And then a second later, the sick boy expresses the same sentiment. (And then it's straight back to the lovebirds, making out, and Allen politely averts his eyes...) Is this movie mocking him.]
no subject
He pokes Allen in the side as a prompt for him to keep looking. ]
It's just getting started, give it some time!
[ See, not so soon after Westley has gone and gotten himself killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts. ]
no subject
But the story goes on, and the prince is quickly introduced. Allen can immediately see where this is going.] He'll want to marry Buttercup, won't he?
[Alas, he's right. Allen settles back, frowning at the screen, discontented on Buttercup's behalf. This is a terrible story, and there's no adventure at all. It's only when the circus folk are introduced does he perk up again, briefly. EXCEPT THEY'RE FRAUDS and he cringes as they reach out towards her neck-!] No!
Is she-- [dead...?]
no subject
Mhm, she is quite lovely.
[ So who wouldn't want to marry Buttercup? He grins and, just like when Kanda was watching, he's keeping his attention more on Allen than the movie, watching his reactions from the corner of his eye. It's endearing how Allen gets into it (unlike Kanda, but that was to be expected.) ]
Don't worry. [ It wouldn't be a good story if both protagonists are killed off, but that's a comment he keeps to himself to keep the suspense going when it's revealed that Buttercup indeed lived! Only to come close to getting eaten when she jumps off the boat. ]
no subject
He tenses when the eels begin shrieking, and jerks back into the headboard when one appears in the water behind her OH GOD IT'S GOING TO EAT HER. Even cheap special effects look convincing when you've never seen them before, and he nearly shouts again—
except it cuts away to the grandpa, again, reassuring the kid she survives. Allen lets out a breath. His eyes only briefly flicker towards Lavi. He knows he's being watched, but he supposes he'll tolerate it; this movie's become difficult to look away from, for him at least. He amends his previous statement, there is certainly adventure in this story.
And now it's time for the Cliffs of Insanity, and a mysterious fellow in black begins perusing our protagonist and her captors up the rope!] Eh? Who is that!?
[He wishes that wretched balding man would stop talking, he's entirely unpleasant. —AND NOW HE'S CUTTING THE ROPE!! This is so stressful!]
no subject
It's hilarious how the kid on the screen and Allen react similarly. Honestly, this is the kind of entertainment he's been in dire need of for the past week that he's been stuck in the hospital for.
With the appearance of the stranger in black, Lavi's focus finally does shift to the screen. ]
The coolest character of the movie. [ YEAH, GUESS WHO'S A FAN . . .
Luckily the rope cutting isn't enough to bring him down and instead he has to face the Spaniard after some exposition on Inigo's part. It's the most gentlemanly of duels! Something Lavi's certain Allen can appreciate. ]
Yu complained about the sword fighting, but I think it's pretty well done. [ They're actors, not actual swordsmen. ]
no subject
This is an extremely civilized sword fight! And this bit is clearly faked, but that makes it easier to enjoy the dialogue.] Well, I think they're doing better than he would. [If Kanda were there, that fight would be going quite differently.
Fortunately, this fencing match concludes with no causalities.
Allen definitely jumps when the giant's first rock nearly smashes into the mysterious stranger in black. The subsequent fight is comical enough to quickly diffuses any tension, though. And the stranger emerges victorious!] He's quite good, isn't he?
no subject
It's all too easy to imagine how the fight would have gone if it had been Kanda instead of the gentlemen on the screen. It would be over very, very quickly and no doubt be a lot more gruesome. Neither would have stood a chance. ]
There's nothing gentlemanly about Yu, he's just manly.
[ Despite his pretty, girly looks! But hey, good thing he's not in the movie. (Especially knowing the part Inigo's to play later on.)
And nothing's really stopping the Man in Black now as he goes on to engage Vizzini in a battle of wits that, frankly, is pretty darn ridiculous, but that's the charm of the whole thing. There's still tension to be had when it's time to drink from the cups. ]
Yeah, he's pretty amazing.
no subject
But he smiles at Lavi's comments; not too surprising Lavi's a big fan of the quick-witted swashbuckling gentleman. And NOW it's the battle of wits! "Dizzying intellect" is an apt description, as Vizzini's non-logic is making Allen's head spin.] What's Australia got to do with it...
[But Allen couldn't guess which cup it's in either! He leans in closer to the screen when they're about to drink!! Vizzini must have chosen the poisoned one, right? That's how this sort of thing works in stories, he thinks; this would all be over very shortly if it wasn't.] But which—
[Oh. And Vizzini flops, expired. Not unexpectedly.] But how could he have known!
[...He'd poisoned both? He came prepared, didn't he!? This victory doesn't seem all so sweet, however, for as clever and cunning and strong as the masked stranger is, he doesn't seem now like a fellow of good repute himself. —And now he's saying he's THE PIRATE. Allen glances at Lavi!] What??
no subject
Lavi's eyes remain fixed on the screen, chinhanding, as he smiles almost wistfully when Allen glances over at the first part of the reveal. ]
The Dread Pirate Roberts is so cool.
[ Sorry Allen, whatever sense of betrayal you might be feeling goes unshared as Lavi merrily remains a #1 fan.
His nonchalance might make more sense after Buttercup gets into an argument with him and pushes him down the hill though. "As you wiiiish!" It's then that Lavi does finally glance over to see Allen's reaction. ]
