Lavi
this time there are no otome points only deep concern
[God, this place was already driving her nuts.
She's taken up a seat at the dining table in the house, doing nothing but gathering her thoughts. Then suddenly her seat jerks, spinning her to face the door frame as she gasps and rakes fingernails over the table.
There's a lanky kid standing outside. Camille locks wide eyes with him, white-knuckling the table's edge.]
...You saw that, right?

[Lavi is at least no longer dressed like a GHOST wearing a MIDSOMMAR TOGA... He's back in his red and black uniform now, which might seem ever weirder in comparison to the toga, but it's fine. at least he's not ghostly white? though it looks like camille is?
he tilts his head as he enters the house, boots echoing against the floorboards, which probably helps not even a little bit with the freaky atmosphere this house has going on,]
Was it a shadow?

[Don't worry, you're all equally clown-core in her eyes.]
I didn't see if it was, no. Felt like my chair got spun by the leg.
[So why is she still sitting in it. Just gonna. Stand. Wow. Really failing to beat the white people in horror movies rep here.]
I guess I got too comfortable. Everywhere looks haunted, so I assumed nothing was.

[CLENCHES FIST... WHEN WILL HE BE UPGRADED TO NON-CLOWN....]
Can't fault ya for that. I was just talking to another guy about how it all feels kinda staged.
[he'll come over and pick up the chair and turn it over in the meantime, prods one of the legs]
...No string though, so maybe it is all real?

[IDK TRY BEING NORMAL??????]
I really hate that you're probably right. [Camille cards a hand through her hair, flipping it out of her face. It drifts back to spite her.]
You deal with this kind of stuff? Ghouls and ghosts? Spirits of swords, dressed in robes and shaped like NBA players?
[Iwatooshi is not allowed.]

[WOW HE'S SO NORMAL....
at that he cracks a grin,]
Well, I'm technically an Exorcist, but not the ghoul or ghost kind. Or sword spirit kind. I fight demons called Akuma, and they're as subtle as a bullet.

[he's standing outside the theater reading the plaque..... figuring out who the resident clowns are.... then he turns to Camille,]
...At least it's not the haunted house?
[he's actually covered up really well and would be safe if these words weren't PROJECTING THEMSELVES, so the phrase "becoming the 49th" is inscribed across his chest, which he hasn't noticed yet... tch]

Or the morgue.
[No thank you to the coffins.
Her eyes do flick to the sudden glow, brows furrowing. What's this about?]
Hey, you've got a — what's the 49th?

Really? [that's interesting...] You're the second guy who's mentioned exorcisms to me.
Do you know that other kid? Tall, dark hair in a ponytail, kind of a grouch?

[it's slight, but he tenses immediately -- eye flicking down to follow Camille's gaze, mouth pressing taut.
and then he sighs, tugging the scarf down to see if it'll cover the words.... which it does, for now...]
Really not a fan of whatever's goin' on this week.

[at that, he grins]
'Kind of'? He must like ya if he was only a little grouchy.
[this is why kanda kills him every day]
But yeah, I know him. We're from the same place, and we're both soldiers for the Church.

I doubt it.
[He left the second she was not useful....]
Okay, that does clear a few things up. He asked me if I was one and stomped off when I let him down. You two buddies? You good?
[Or is this a spicy rivalry :eyes:]

[kanda u stupid binch.... also stop don't :eyes: him]
Yeah, we're good. The grouchy grows on you.
[this is a work relationship only]
He's not a bad guy. If there's an Akuma around, then it's safer for everyone if we deal with it right away.

[I'm making this her first exposure gomen.]
What do you mean? Is something going around?
[Curse, sickness. God's hand reaching down to scribble in your sins in crayon. Really hoping it's not the latter.]

I'll take your word for it.
[Though in this place she might have no choice but to pack bond with a bunch of teenagers...horrific.]
Right. And what might an Akuma look like? In case I see one around. [Dubious, considering how cosmically middle of nowhere this town seems to be.] I'll have to you two a ring, so you can swoop in and save us all.

[THERE ARE OTHER ADULTS CAMILLE]
It looks like a regular human. It only changes form once it starts killing, so people don't know until it's late.
[cheery thing to discuss in the haunted house... which he's aware of, so he gestures to the cross on his uniform, patting at it]
That's why we wear these, to lure them out. Akuma hate Exorcists more than they hate other humans. Easier for us to deal with it too.

[if Lavi was a true asshole then he'd LIE but he is not, instead he looks serious instead of exasperated with his crayola marker sin,]
It's... magic, I think? Words keep appearing on our bodies. They say stuff like your fears and regrets.
They keep showing even if you cover up too, like this. [he nods his chin over to the words now also shining through his scarf.]

[Thank you for leaving the assholery to Kanda and Karma.
Camille's brows meet in a slow crawl, matching the glacial pace of her lips parting to a disdainful gape. Of all the miracles that magic might make possible, this is the one they get stuck with?]
What piece of shit thought this was funny? [Death, War, Pestilence, Famine? Someone working higher than all four.]
You don't have to explain anything, okay? Not to me or anyone.
[So she speaks, but then lettering blooms in a poetic paragraph across her neck.
a child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.]

[YEAH LIKE FOUR OF THEM
Looking to the cross]
The power of Christ compels them. Got it.
[She laughs a little, clapping him on the shoulder.]
Well, seeing as how no one so far has turned into a demon at the sight of you two, I'll sleep a lot easier at night. I take it basic chair haunting is below your paygrade?
[This place is spooky but ultimately not very threatening.]

[It's a natural reaction to have, he thinks, but the adamant way she says it 'you don't have to explain' takes him by surprise all the same. He opens his mouth to reply, probably something light -- just to take the edge off a situation that Camille is right to be upset by, but doesn't have to be -- at least not for him. He's totally fine!
And then his eye darts to the letters forming across her neck. after a bit, he taps his own neck in the same spot,]
...You don't have to either.
[even though he's curious, even though the words spark in his mind and remain there.]

[oh skinship (flushed)
he doesn't actually blush, but he does grin in response to her laugh, expression sliding into something more mischievous]
It is, usually -- but I'd be happy to make an exception for ya.

[oh my god.]
Yeah, I'll bet you would.
[Her hands slip into her back pockets and she weaves around him, edging through the doorway.]
Come on, Casanova. Let's get out here before the lights start flickering.

[Her head dips, eyes on him. Is he serious?
She touches her neck, mimicking the gesture and feeling no telling grooves. Whatever's written here can't be felt.
It feels rather like a personal fuck you. She's got a history with words. She doesn't need anything using it against her.]

[WOW.... he's a pure hearted non-casanova soul... he grins and follows her out,]
