(this is meant to be broadcast, because cross is actually unveiling a prototype for the sentries that he wants to build. but it's mostly Allen learning from years of experience with his master when he comes down to see him.)

Master..? ( he sounds weary, but you would too if you’ve known Cross as long as he has. ) Is this really as important as you said it was?

(there are a few of these steampunked babies sitting on cross' lab table, about four or so. they wake up and start talking in their autotuned sing-song voice.)

Hello, Allen Walker!

Never mind, I’ll come back later.

(too late, they're opening their sides and there are lasers pointed right towards him.)

Er—hello?

(it's almost too late -- before they start moving like pipe organs would (think of the first part of this on loop) of Mozart's Requiem and the sound of cross laughing his ass off.)

You should have seen your stupid face.

(he's tearing up, wiping tears from his one good eye with the corner of his white labcoat before standing in front of the recording.)

There wasn’t anything funny about that!!

Y'know if I could get more space and access to actual volunteers, I wouldn't make you go through this.

(then, it dawns on allen. he's being taped on purpose. he's being taped on purpose and this is broadcasting and cross just made an example out of him. he's been used for emotional blackmail.)

Master, you're terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Keep talking Allen, maybe next time there will be actual bullets and I'll train them to hunt you.

(cross cuts the feed off)

(ooc; bold is allen and italics is cross!)

I wasn't aware that you said that.

Well, I didn't.

But if you want to come visit, I won't mind.

No, I'm sure you did. You wouldn't have brought it up otherwise.

So, what do I owe the visit? I doubt I'm leaving unscathed.

You were just being a jerk to Allen. Now I think I can add being an ass to the list.

Lets face it Zee, if I was nice to Allen, he'd freak out.

You could try being neutral, you know.

If I ignore him, he'll think I'm plotting something too.

Then I guess I'll have to give you a reason to ignore him.

Is this a good reason like Allen here's a 20 go watch a movie or a bad reason like Cross here's the back of my hand across your face.

Or is that a good reason too?

It's all what you make of it, I'd say.

I'm okay with this.

Of course, I'm not sure how much control of it you may have.

I'll kick Allen out and close the lab.

Exactly what I was hoping you'd say.

The best partner.

You know just the right things to say.

Because you deserve it.

Now you're just making me suspicious.

I've always wanted to be taken on my lab table and I'm just really excited.

I hope you're prepared for a few things to be broken. Fragile things better be put away by the time I arrive.

Stop talking and get over here.

I'm sure there are many more useful things I could be doing with my mouth.

Come over.

Emphasis on the first part, I hope.
