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.]

Comments

[technologic]

[She frowns in concern, before standing up.] Can you stand?

[alephbet]

[It takes him a moment longer than it should, but he gets to his feet.] Perfectly fine.

[technologic]

[She's still frowning and she points to her room door.] Can you go in there, please?

[alephbet]

Sure.

[He walks in and sits on a bed that isn't hers, because awkward.

...his legs feel a bit stiff.]

[technologic]

[And she takes the blanket from her bed, and goes to hold it out to him, making sure the bunny is still being held safely.] Here, this should help warm you up.

[alephbet]

Thank you. I wish the heat would come back on soon.

[Siiiigh. He takes the blanket and wraps himself up.]

[technologic]

Knowing Jason, it probably won't be up until next month.

[She sighs and takes a seat next to him, bunny being placed on her lap.] Back home it got cold, but never this quickly.

[alephbet]

The last time I remember being this cold, there was a King Frost in the area...

[technologic]

[Blink, blink.] ... A what?

[alephbet]

A Jack Frost, but bigger.

[technologic]

... A Jack Frost is a kinda demon, I'm guessing?

[alephbet]

Yes. A small demon many people find cute. They look like snowmen and they say 'hee-ho' a lot.

[technologic]

[A pause as she thinks about that. Then she giggles quietly.] 'Hee-ho'? Well, it does sound cute.

[alephbet]

They like to think their puns are hee-holarious.

But they're not, ho.

[technologic]

[She just blinks at him. And then she bursts into giggles.] O-okay, that is pretty bad.

[alephbet]

But they do look cute, anyway.

[technologic]

Hehe, that's probably how they can get away with the horrible puns... or would hee-rrible be more appropriate here. [No April stop.]

[alephbet]

Cute looks can be used ho good or hee-vil.

[technologic]

Ver-hee true. Though-ho I hope most Jack Frosts use them ho good. [She really can't stop giggling at herself.]

[alephbet]

Let's stop before one of us hurts something.

Some-heeing.

[technologic]

[April laughs again, before she tries to calm herself enough.] O-okay, no more.

... So before we start 'hee-ho'-ing again, help me think of a name for the rabbit.

[alephbet]

I'm not sure if it's a girl or a boy.

[technologic]

[A pause.

Cue shifting the rabbit onto it's back to check.

And then placing the rabbit back on her lap like before.] Ah, it's a girl.

[alephbet]

Well then. Do you have any friends from home you miss, that you'd like to name her after?

[technologic]

[April blinks at him and 'hms' thoughtfully, glancing down at the rabbit. Then she smiles faintly as she pets her ears.] ... I'm thinking 'Michelle'. Or maybe 'Chelly' for short.
