[Today was a huge shock and an irritation for Angelo. After having to wake up in the body of his twin and hearing others talk of a curse, he gets the feeling Trunks must be inside of his body and rushes back to the apartment. Unfortunately, trying to get back there involves him crashing into a few buildings along the way as he's not used to the whole flying thing yet. He also then opens his SFC to make a quick post. Some people might be a bit confused as it sounds like Trunks is speaking.]

Trunks, don't you dare touch my wine bottles or I'll make sure you regret it. Lloyd, keep him away from the cabinets as well. I'll be there as soon as I can. [Unfortunately he forgets to turn off his SFC as he's in a rush and flying really fast. What's heard next is "Did I just pass the apartment?", which is followed by a loud noise that sounds like a very painful thud as Angelo has slammed into the side of the bubble. Fortunately it's not that painful to him at least and seeing that his SFC was still on, he quickly turns it off so no one sees anymore embarrassing shenanigans.]

[ action | for Lloyd and Trunks ]

[Upon arriving at the apartment at last, after once again slamming into a wall and trying to carefully climb through the apartment window, Angelo looks a bit irritated.]

Where are you two? I'm not in the best of moods right now.

[Lloyd didn't even see the video. He's only just now rolling out of bed and groggily making his way downstairs. Checking his SFC can come after he's had breakfast. And coffee. He needs coffee to function.

This point is highlighted when he passes right by Angelo and doesn't even look out the window. He yawns, lifting his hand in a sleepy gesture towards his "roommate."]

Morning, Angelo.

[Angelo sighs and shakes his head as the two appear before him, one more out of it than the other. Of course he storms right over to Trunks.]

Did you do what I asked of you? [More like kind of told him, but whatever.]

I didn't touch anything. And calm down, your power level's starting to rise. More, anyway.

[It feels weird sensing his own energy doing that from the outside, man. And since Angelo doesn't know the hide-your-power-level trick...]

Edited 2012-09-16 23:52 (UTC)

[Lloyd blinks muzzily, surprised.]

Oh, I didn't know you were here, Trunks.

[He yawns again.]

I can go. You just wanna talk to your brother, right?

[Because yes, Lloyd still thinks these two are twins.]

[...Oh wonderful. Now Trunks will know Angelo told Lloyd too about these shenanigans he's been pulling with the whole brother facade.]

Oh um, hello Lloyd. Yes, I'm here to talk to my brother Angelo. I've missed him so much and since we're brothers, I thought we could have a nice chat. Right Angelo? [He might be leering at Trunks a little.]

Edited 2012-09-17 00:14 (UTC)

[Nope, not playing this game.]

That's Angelo, I'm Trunks. There seems to be a new curse going around.

Also, we're not brothers, Lloyd.

[Guys? He's really not up for people screwing with his head, not this early in the morning, and when he hasn't had any coffee. He stares blankly at the two lookalikes, then he rubs the back of his head as though staving off a headache.]

Okay, I don't understand.

[He looks at Trunks.]

How can you be Trunks when you look like Angelo? And how can you not be brothers? You look almost exactly alike.

[Oh good Lloyd is still out of it enough to not figure things out yet.]

He does make a good point, Angelo. So why don't we let Lloyd have his coffee and we'll talk amongst ourselves?

Edited 2012-09-17 00:33 (UTC)

[Oh for...he just rubs the bridge of his nose with a sigh.]

Whatever. Go get your coffee, Lloyd. We'll talk later.

Nngh...

[...this probably won't be the end of this conversation, Angelo, but for now Lloyd is just as glad to leave them alone. He doesn't really feel like being in the middle of whatever is going on between those two.

But with that intelligent and coherent sound, he makes his way to the kitchen to try to solve at least one of his problems this morning.]

[Angelo starts lightly pushing Trunks towards his bedroom and once they're both inside, he carefully closes the door then locks it. There's a slight angry glare crossing his expression.]

Let me make this very clear to you, Lloyd is the first person I told about this whole brother ordeal I'm doing. I don't need you ruining it, do you understand? And furthermore, I'm keeping you inside of this apartment until we're back in our bodies.

[Now see you and he have very different definitions of 'lightly'. Trunks stumbles with the force and it's a good thing you're being careful with the door.]

Calm down before you go Super. You don't need to bring Gohan and my father running right now, not to mention you'd probably bring half the building down.

[He crosses his arms and glares right back.]

Why did you tell him that?! It makes it easier to keep a lie straight if you don't tell it in the first place! And like hell I'm staying here.

[He's trying to calm down, but the emotions are overwhelming. Having suppressed his own emotions for years, suddenly having thrown back at him full force is something he's not used to. He even might start shouting because of how not used to full force emotions he is.]

I'm trying! You think I enjoy feeling things?! No, I absolutely detest this! I want my body back so I don't have to feel anything!

[His eyes might be starting to change a different color too, you better get him to calm down Trunks.]

Breath. Angelo, look at me. Sit down.

[It feels like all the air in the room is pressing down on him, but aside from vague concern, his emotions feel far duller than they do normally.]

A lot of my power comes from my emotions, and I feel things very strongly because of that. You have that power right now. The more out of control you get, the more you're going to feel. It feeds on itself.

[He's taking slow breaths to calm down and he does a little bit, but he's still a bit tense even as he sits down yet does seem rather more calm.]

It's overwhelming Trunks and I feel as if I'm going to break, I need my body back. Being in my body, things are much duller for you aren't they? You hardly feel anything. Thank me for suppressing my emotions all these years.

Yeah, and considering I've been fighting my whole life, and need all the strength I can get, I can't afford to do that.

[He sighs and sits down next to Angelo.]

It's only a week.

[He might be frowning a little now and sighing.]

...Feeling emotions again, I'm reminded of my childhood and the memories that come with it. Do you know the reason I drink is to forget that? And to numb other things. [He begins to think about having a nice glass of wine.] I actually could go for a drink right now, I'd feel much more relaxed.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't feel much of anything. My metabolism would burn the alcohol off too quickly. If it was that easy...

[You're not the only one who'd rather forget things.]

I'm not looking to get drunk, I want a drink because I'm thirsty and it helps me. You should get yourself one too, my body can only go so long without alcohol in it.

I'm sure, because alcohol creates a physiological dependence that makes it incredibly unpleasant to detox even if it's also destroying your internal organs.

[dry as a desert this one.]

I'd rather not contribute willingly to your slow death by liver failure.

I don't need to hear your babbling, my body is mine to do with as I wish.

[He huffs and sighs.]

I'll get it myself then since obviously you're being stubborn.

You're not in your body right now.

[His eyes narrow, two can play this game.]

And if you're going to insist I poison your body, I'm going to insist that you refrain from doing the same to mine.

[Then it hit him, oh yes of course. He goes over to his closet and opens it, inside is not only clothes organized neatly and boots/shoes of all varieties... But a small rack of wine bottles. A big smile curls up on his lips as he stares at them.]

Ah there you are my darlings, I had almost forgotten about you. Now all I need is to find a wine glass and I'll be set to have a drink.

Edited 2012-09-17 03:26 (UTC)

[Oh Kami are you being serious right now.]

...you have a serious problem.

[He could protest more right now, but he's waiting for Angelo to encounter his unchecked strength. He might as well get a little bit of amusement out of something today.]

[He turns back to look at Trunks, his expression still cheerful at the moment.]

You say it's a problem, I see nothing wrong. I enjoy to drink and that's all I wish to do right now.

[He slowly reaches for one of the bottles and as he goes to grab it, the bottle breaks apart right in his hands with nothing left except a dripping wet Angelo covered in wine. His expression now turns sour.] ...Is this some type of joke? Because I do not find it amusing.
