Hacking #05: Cold days

[technologic]

Characters: April and anyone else!
Setting: Floor 13, Floor 32 and Floor 1.
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you!
Summary: In which April is a bit of a grump about the cold, but also kinda glees and plays about in the snow. And also makes food.

[Floor 13]
[With how cold it was getting lately, April really needed to have something more warm to wear. Her trenchcoat was good at keeping her warm most of the time, but she definitely needed more than that. Which is why she's sitting in the workshop and attempting to make a scarf. Except she isn't too good with a needle, due to how she keeps stabbing herself.]

Ow! Ugh, dammit... Stupid cold... [Doesn't stop her from continuing to try to make one though. Despite how she keeps stabbing herself with a needle.]

[Floor 32]
[April had only really wandered to this floor to get some food. But when she sees the snow falling, she really, really can't resist going to play around in it for a while. It never snowed back home, which is why she's gonna make the most of it now.

So anyone that ventures to this floor will find one April attempting to build a snowman. And failing a bit as she tries to keep it from falling over.]

[Floor 1]
[And once she does finally get around to hunting for food, she can later be found cooking in the cafeteria. It seems like she was able to catch an animal of some kind, since there's some meat cooking on top of the stove, and thanks to having stored some of it away a while ago, she's sipping on tea of some kind as she cooks. She's glad that they can have hot water, at least. And right now, having some kind of hot food sounds good too. And April would be happy to share, if anyone asks.]

[She lets him take it and laughs faintly.] So you would probably do a better job than me.

[temptestament]

Though at this rate, I might have to talk to Shion about learning some fire Ethers.

*He's nowhere near a master craftsman, but at least his fingers aren't so stiff he's messing up constantly.*

[technologic]

Yeah, learning something that can make fire sounds like a really good plan right now.

[temptestament]

It figures, doesn't it? I can throw a Darknut across a room with my mind, but I can't do a thing about people freezing.

[technologic]

[Patpat in the shoulder.]

It's all right. We've all got things that we can't do, no matter how powerful we are.

[temptestament]

I just hate feeling useless. And I haven't felt this helpless since before I died.

[technologic]

[She gives him a sympathetic hum.]

Yeah, it... really does suck. But we just have to try to help out where we can.

[temptestament]

At least the fact that I don't feel the cold outside of certain floors means I can help people out without worrying about myself, but...well, unless I can build a space heater that runs off of Ethers, all I can really do is move stuff around. I don't even have a weapon that works on the forest floor to hunt for real food.

[technologic]

Maybe ask someone to build a weapon for you? I know there's people here who can do that.
