towerofanimus | Baby it's Cold Outside~

Characters: Two yelling redheads, and a you in a pear tree.
Setting: Anywhere between the Dormitory halls and the cafeteria.
Format: Take your pick; starting in action tags.
Summary: It's freezing in the tower. Luke lived in an area that was warm more than it was cold. Guess how the last couple days have been for him?
Warnings: Lots and lots and lots of whining.

AAAAACHOOOOOOOO!!!

[It goes without saying, but anyone in the dormitory hallways can probably hear Luke before they see him. The poor redhead has no change of clothes; the only clothing he has is the thin coat and t-shirt that exposes his stomach, as well as his baggy pants. Needless to say, he's been suffering from the below freezing temperatures lately.]

[As he trudges his way to the cafeteria, he has his arms wrapped around his midsection, trying desperately to stay warm, while Amnon hangs out under his coat, only the tips of his ears visible.]

Man... this isn't fair... it's not supposed to be this cold insiiiiiide...

[And here comes the whine; someone might want to warm him up before it turns into a full on rant.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

You know, I was about to ask how you dealt with the cold in that get-up.

[And here's Jerk McJerkass piping up from his corner, still reading a book in the uniform he got from the Halloween mess.

Safe to say he looks bemused.]

I suppose that was a convenient way of answering.

L-Lelouch... i-it's not f-funny...

[Cut him a break, roomie. And dammit, how the hell can you wear anything from Halloween?! There is something wrong with you man.]

[Because it's from home and it's slightly warmer than his stuffy emperor costume okay.

And also his Zero costume but who cares.]

In that sense, I suppose not, but you looked like you needed something to occupy yourself.

[Nesir is also hating the cold, though her misery is coming out in shows of temper; demonstrated in the way she snatches a nutrient bar and kicks a chair for being in her way.] It do no be meant to be this cold anywhere. [She takes in his clothes, he has it worse than her, at least her thin training clothes cover all her body even if she has nothing on her feet.]

[It's good to be a Servant, imperious to the elements, that generates constant heat thanks to the prana. And with Saber having so MUCH prana, she's like a space heater herself.

Luke will find her in the elevator when he arrives, and the king has her greatcloak about her shoulders. She takes one look at Luke shivering and, without warning or permission (okay, she feels bad now about that whole Halloween thing), steps up and wraps him into her furred cloak with her. The prana constantly surrounding her can help warm him up.]

...

[Well, that's a familiar whine. Really, he should have known.]

Maybe if you knew how to dress yourself, you wouldn't have problems with the cold.

[He pauses. Everything else is right, but the hair...

Itwasshortlastweekwhateven - ]

If all else fails, you could always make a blanket out of that hair.

Ah...?!

[Oh damn, that voice.]

[Luke spun around, his mouth quite literally hitting the ground.]

A-Asch...?!

[...of all the people to show up. He squeezed his eyes shut, shaking his head.]

W-what the...? H-how d-did...? Why n-now...?

[Around strolls jolly ol' Mr. Walker.]

[Appearance wise, he's physically being affected by the cold, at least on his face--his nose has long since turned red and his skin seems almost frozen in place. He doesn't appear to be shivering, however. At least, not compared to someone like Luke, formerly.]

Cold, isn't it? [He says this with the most whimsical smile...]

So you two know each other?

...

[Yep, same idiot.]

Finish one question before you start asking another, idiot.

[Luke let out a disgruntled noise; yep, it was definitely Asch all right.]

W-why are you here now? A-Auldrant was d-destroyed months ago.

[Luke let out a surprise as the cloak came down over his shoulders, though he wasn't about to take it for granted. He snuggled closely underneath it, pulling it about him tightly as he shivered. A thank you was about to come from him, when that white haired guy showed up.]

Oh, uh... yeah.

[Luke whined; she may have been agreeing with him, but it wasn't helping him warm up.]

I-is there a-anywhere th-that's warmer?

I-I need a warmer coat! N-not a c-comedian!

[Despite being only five feet tall, the grandcloak was fit for a large man, so there was plenty of room for both herself and Luke. She let more of her prana free, the inside of the cloak heating up plenty.

Her eyes turned to the young man joining them in the elevator, answering at the same time Luke did, though there was some deadpan sarcasm laced into her response.]

Whatever gave you that idea?

[Well who else would it be, really, the last thing he needs is another one running around with his face.]

Funny, I was there last week and it was fine.

[Not that it would have stayed that way, but for the moment, at least, all had been well.]

W-what?!

[Luke stared at him like he grew another head. Auldrant... was still around? How could that be?! He had been there for... geeze, half a year maybe? Maybe less... he couldn't figure out time in this crazy place. It definitely moved faster than it did on Auldrant.]

[Suddenly, Luke was in Asch's face, cold forgotten for the moment.]

What's the last thing you remember? Is everyone all right? Are they here too?

[Yes, Asch; Luke totally rambled questions at you.]

[Technically speaking, you are his other head, Luke.]

Back. Off.

[Asch leans his head back to get some breathing space, but doesn't move his feet. He's not giving any ground to his replica, no way in hell.]

Last I saw you and your group of friends was when you closed the Absorption Gate. And you had short hair.

[That's not confusion no oh who exactly are you trying to kid Asch]

[Luke doesn't back off, but he does get out of Asch's face. Still, what he was saying was... confusing.]

Absorb Gate...? What's that?

[...and short hair?]

I've only had short hair while I was here. I never had short hair on Auldrant.

Absorption Gate.

[And that's exasperated Asch to the max. Really, Luke, get a glossary, how do you expect to keep up with the big kids otherwise.]

And you chopped your hair to your chin when you decided to stop being an idiot.

[Which was only mostly effective. Asch gives Luke a considering look, before shooting the replica's own question back at him.]

What's the last thing you remember?

[Luke just stared; no, he had never cut his hair. He would never; hell, he flipped out when Teddie cut his hair when they switched bodies. Something serious would have to happen before he ever even considered it.]

Last I remember? We were on the Deo Pass; Legretta had just taken off after a fight...

...

That was ... months ago.

[Well. Isn't that just lovely. Not only is he saddled with the idiot, he's saddled with the idiot in its stupidest form.

Nothing is ever easy.]

Well, yeah... I've been here for a long time...

[Wait, if that was months ago... then maybe Auldrant hadn't been destroyed! Maybe it was still around, and--]

[...but if that was the case, then why did Asch say he had seen him recently? And he had cut his hair? None of this made sense...]

[At least take comfort in the fact that you're not the only one confused, Luke. It doesn't make any sense from where he's standing, either.]

There's no way you could have been in both places.

[Or at least there damn well shouldn't be. Ugh brainhurts.]

...And I assume I'm the one stuck with bringing this you up to speed.

[Business as usual.]
