oh, how fortunate for him that the others around him haven't stopped mentioning apple occasionally in passing so the holes to fill aren't nearly as numerous. (but he spoke some of those words into their shared existence, no?)
nevertheless, it'll still take him a hot moment where he simply just stares at the ball that now joins him, and when the realization dawns on him...well. ]
[ cue the shouting and him immediately shooting straight up from where he had been "standing". rabbit ears sprouting out of his head as his entire shadow-y existence grows to reflect his shock. ]
PROFESSOR!?!!
[ now back to a more reasonable sized shadow—his normal size. perhaps with a little sniffling. ]
Is that you? It must be you, right? There's no way.
Professor... yes, that must be me. Goodness me. My memories are truly...
[ His voice trails off for a moment before going closer to Lavi and bobbing up and down. There's no bounce of the usual collar and bowtie. 'Tis a naked apple. ]
[ excuse lavi as he needs to do some more warbling as he is very happy to see a floating and naked apple. things i never thought i'd be typing but here we are. with a few more sniffs he'll sober up. (so, apple also had his memories scrambled...) ]
Oh, and you're not just "professor", Professor. Your name is APPLe.
[ lavi will produce "props" that will help him "spell" out the letters for the apple to see. if apple can remember, it'll be very reminiscent of the last time he was asked to spell something out for him. also, let's not forget that lavi absolutely read everyone's ID cards and his memory works in mysterious ways. ]
It's a very interesting way of spelling it and reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
[ Lavi is always so observant, so attentive, so...
Well. APPLe appreciates it. He watches the spelling and he indeed remembers when Lavi did this a few days ago. He stares at the spelling and there's a small chuckle. ]
I see. Perhaps the "e" is the Euler's number, the irrational constant.
[ Because the Euler's number was important in calculus after building off of Newton's findings. Perhaps he truly is the apple that landed on Newton's head. ]
[ the curse of being someone who wants to know everything about everyone everywhere he goes. or maybe a benefit? it's certainly helping apple out a lot. and when apple mentions euler's number, a light bulb will appear above his head as well as a few hearts??? ]
Euler's number!!
[ he sounds so impressed and pleased to have that new bit of information. ]
Oh, I can see it—maybe that's why your captain was so fond of naming things after you. [ ...hm. ] Or perhaps she was just like that.
[ given what he can remember of what he was told. ]
You told me a story about the one time she was thrown into prison for eating a bean. Rather, it was one of the last things you were doing before you were brought here.

[ Not the demon/vampire kind, but it's in that very familiar(?) voice that Lavi knows. The "ball" seems to "float up" to Lavi's eye level. ]
Hello there.

[ By name! ]
Professor... yes, that must be me. Goodness me. My memories are truly...

Anyway, it's good to see you.

It's so good to see you, too!!

[ just apple. ]
no subject
"Professor apple"... a little too on the nose, don't you think?
no subject
I can't imagine you with any other name besides APPLe, Professor, the fact that you're [ were?? ] an apple aside, of course.
[ and yet he calls him professor.... ]
no subject
[ He tilts a little to the side. ]
Just "apple"?
[ It may sound the same, but the capitalization is so important to him. Good thing Dehya and Tsukasa know about it. ]

Captain...?
no subject
Captain Regulus, the captain of a pirate ship where you were part of the crew. You made her sound like quite the reckless but passionate person.
no subject
[ APPLe seems to hesitate. ]
Right. I think... I remember someone like that.
[ But he doesn't sound good about it. ]

My word. I suppose some cultures are really just that.
no subject
I've heard of all sorts of different fruits and foods being sacred but a bean if a first.
