"Typical" days at the Black Order

He gave a sigh of bliss. The hot waters does wonders to the sore muscles. He relaxed in the onsen, sinking lower to the inviting warmth of the bath.

Allen looked at Lavi as if he grew a second head. He does not sleep with his eyes open!

"Erm... Lavi. I don't sleep with my eyes open..."

He gave a grin at the remark. "Really... Maybe next time then..." Allen yawned, figuring he had enough soaking for the day, bade a farewell to the redhead. He got up from the onsen, stretching lazily as he strolled back to get his belongings.

Now fully dressed, he wander down the corridors and was hit by a sense of déjà vu. I think I must have done something similar to this... Pushing that thought aside and with nothing else to do, he headed to the dojo to train by himself.

... It's only about three in the afternoon. Snacks can wait.

Back in his room, he took his time to meditate. The gloomy and dark nature of the room. actually helps to relax and meditate easily.

...

He opened his eyes, directing his focus to the lotus in the hourglass. He couldn't put his finger on what the problem is. What is abnormal of the flower is by how the originally pale pink of the flower resting on top had darkened a shade (turned a darkened shade of pink...). Below, four petals lay quietly at the bottom of the hourglass.

He frowned. Now's not the time to think about such things. He closed his eyes, exhaled slowly and started to meditate.

Out of the blue, he decided to organize his stuff. Starting from the "secret" room where he kept his potions...

It's actually not a secret though, due to the fact that Reever and the rest (Johnny, Tap etc.) used the room before. Ah well. He might as well go dig up the much needed potion(s) for the recreation of the hair tonic. Speaking of which...

He shrugged. Time to declutter the room~

Sometimes, daydreaming while walking around is never a good idea.

Allen almost freaked when a voice suddenly addressed him out of nowhere. He turned abruptly, heaving a sigh of relief when it was Lenalee. Another sense of déjà vu rushed over him; he had a feeling that he had a similar "mini-heart attack" before around the corridors...

Komui... again...?

He gave a smile, albeit a forced one and replied, "Again...? Ok... I'll be on guard just in case..."

And mentally added 'especially for the upcoming Komurin that Komui would built...'

He forced a smile here. he sure hope not... It'll be disastrous...

Everyone going bald...

He snickered. He'll pay to see Bakanda- ahem... The next few words decided the place for him to go to next... "Lenalee, do you want to accompany me to the cafeteria?"

"Mmmm~ A few hours of rest is enough for the tiredness..." Allen trailed off and smiled. "I feel a lot more refreshed..." happily, he matched his pace along with his new companion; humming a tuneless song...

He furrowed his brows. He doesn't feel good... For the first time of his life, he actually fell asleep for a moment while he meditates... What complicates the matter-

Is it just him; or is the whole room tilting at a disturbing and warped angle...?

Oops...

Well... at least I know what was in the bottle... Komui use the bottle of potion on the closest and unfortunate victim earlier... Kanda. Miraculously, he managed to "drug" Kanda; he's always so alert... Komui put it down to the fact that Kanda must be still feeling the fatigue from the mission. The label on it was smudged so badly that he could not even guess what is the liquid's effect...

Now that he had somehow gotten a set of lost papers, he scanned through the formulas where he suddenly realised what he actually gave to Kanda. Or so he thought.

I think I must have given him some sort of tranquilizer... and also some "special and unknown" effects... In short, uh oh...





(Dun Dun Dun Duh~ I want to continue with this "drug" thing for... 1 day in the Order. Is it ok? Remind/tell me if I go OCC )

They reached the cafeteria, and while Allen ordered his laundry list of food, Lenalee went to save them a table. The place was more crowded than usual. Especially in one corner by the science division. "Hey, what's going on?" she asked one. They looked worried.

"Er... We haven't seen Komui all day," one of the scientists said. "He went into the storage room and... well... we lost track of him."

Lenalee paled. "Oh... That can't be good... We'll start looking for him once Allen and I grab a bite to eat."

(Sure. And Lavi's still sleeping, if you're wondering where he went off to.)

Komui was already out of the storage room, dragging himself towards the desk that had been piled up by stacks of paperwork. As soon as his head hit the make-shift pillow of his arms, he fell asleep instantly...

Urgh... dizzy...

Irritated by the feeling of "weakness", Kanda let himself fall back to the mattress of the bed. He glared at the ceiling, sure that only one thing caused this...

Komui...




(Mmm~ thanks for the tidbit~ though I need help in ideas for the drug thing... it should wear out within a day... but I'd like to add in some side effects... so... what do you suggest...?)

Allen approached to where Lenalee is, along with his usual mountain of food.

"Not good...? What is it?"

...

Allen quickly started on his meal. Before picking up a fork...

"Let me just finish this one first... Then we'll search for Komui..."

Allen looked pointedly at the steamed bun she had started on. "Are you sure...? I mean; I think you better finish them first before searching for Komui... Speaking of which..."

Allen looked around; realizing for the first time that dinner went past so smoothly (having a meal peacefully rarely happens to him)... but something's missing...

"...?"

Getting up, he figured to get an ice-cream while waiting.

The clock already struck 5.30pm... Allen enjoyed his ice-cream as he pondered on the main issue; something is off...

It's the dinner rush-hour; there are a lot of people in the cafeteria (that makes sense)... What is missing?

The image of a certain red-haired suddenly caught his "eye". Everything clicked into place. He's not here! How could he forget about-

"Ah!!! It's Lavi! Why is he not here though...? But..." he trailed off, not realizing that he is actually saying all of these out loud (his exclamation had jolted a few finders in shock...) He turned to Lenalee.

"Where is Lavi, anyway...? He's not here... and it's dinner..."





[I want to wrap this up for the next day That'd cover up Kanda's "disappearance" and the gag scene (?) Title for the next day; Chapter 2: For its all Komui's fault... Awaiting a-ok~)

"Ok."

He quickly polished off the rest of the ice-cream, following Lenalee shortly after he is done. "To the room first..?"
