log; i don't even know

[oaf]

[This is probably one of the weirdest guild requests L'Arc has ever gotten but whatever money is money!!!

So yeah. Knocking once and then BARGING INTO THE HOUSE like all good video game characters.]

Hello?

[oaf]

The old man's dead! Don't tell me you didn't know...

1/6

[cherisher]

-- . . .

2/6

[cherisher]

[um what]

3/6

[cherisher]

[That's impossible! Zamuel's one of the best swordsmen ever. Not to mention he went out with Rex and . . . Rastan, so there's now way he could have -- ]

4/6

[cherisher]

[Eesa, did either one of them decide to push Zamuel off the bridge or something!?]

5/6

[cherisher]

[ . . . ]

6/6 I LOVE TO COUNT.

[cherisher]

I saw him this morning. Aren't you thinking of someone else?

... snickers

[oaf]

Uh... we're talking about Zamuel of the Lord Knights, right? Flamboyant old man [may he rest in peace], one of the best swordsmen in his time?

[cherisher]

Right. But what's with the "in his time?"

[oaf]

... Well, now that he's dead, like I said, this isn't exactly his time anymore.

[cherisher]

But he's not dead! The Lord Knights are still going strongly. What's your source?

[oaf]

Oh, I don't know—I was only there when he died! And what do you mean, the Lord Knights are still going strong? They disbanded years ago.

[cherisher]

[!?]

You're making no sense. We haven't even been around for a year!

[oaf]

'We'? Wait, what? Who the heck are you?

[... Hold on, that hair—]

[cherisher]

Didn't the guys at the guild tell you? [He waves both hands.] I'm Leon!

[Way to take on a babysitting job without realizing that it's the leader of the Lord Knights, dumb-dumb.]

[oaf]

But—you can't be Leon!

[shut up this log wouldn't exist if he had okay]

[cherisher]

Why not?

[IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD, TOO, IS THAT HOW IT IS.

also wow are you saying he wouldn't have gone to see the Lightning Leon if he had a choice!?]

[oaf]

Because Serge is Leon!

[EVEN IF L'ARC WISHES HE WEREN'T—]

And sure, you look kinda like a younger version of him, but... gah, this doesn't make any sense!

[Urge to bang head, rising.

... WELL HIS DREAMS MIGHT'VE BEEN CRUSHED EVEN FURTHER, SO.]

[cherisher]

Who's Serge?

[IS THIS GUY ON CRACK?

-- a . . . younger version . . . might as well have said "father" instead. His face noticeably drops a little at that.]

Never mind. This is crazy, and it's hurting my head. You're not a very good babysitter.

[oaf]

Well... you, I guess. And you're not exactly the best... babysittee either. But I'll agree with you on that this is just weird.

... Though that was obvious from the moment you claimed that the old man is still alive.

[cherisher]

[ . . .

Uh-huh. Going in one ear and out the other.]

Who are you again?

[oaf]

[Brat...]

... L'Arc.

[Unsure about this WILL HE BREAK LEON'S BRAIN.]

1/8

[cherisher]

[L'Arc.

Never heard of hi -- ]

2/8

[cherisher]

[Waaaaaaaaait.]

3/8

[cherisher]

[Rex is married to Elena, and last time they'd visited she'd been waiting on an unborn child. It's been a few months, but they're such an energetic couple with all their enthusiasm. In fact, Rex had shared with Leon a few possible names . . .

Wasn't one of the boy names they decided on "L'Arc?"]
