towerofanimus | Hacking #05: Cold days

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.]

I wish she was here.

[Her expression turns sympathetic and she gives a faint nod.] ... You never know, since the tower can bring in anyone. And even if she isn't brought here, you'll be able to see her again when we get home.

I know. She'll probably have been managing fine without me and Louis, she's strong.

Then at least you know she'll be okay, so you don't have to worry.

I won't. [He seems a little cheerier now.]

That's good! [A small smile and she tilts her head again.] ... And you seem to be in a bit of a better mood now.

Well, it's a very nice scarf. [He tugs at it again.]

Ehe, I'm glad you think so. It took a few attempts... [She sheepishly motions to her one hand which has a few bandages along her fingers.] Luckily I had some help, so the final result wasn't too bad.

I should learn how to make one, too. You don't look so warm yourself.

Hm? Ah, nah, I'm fine. I don't like the cold, but I'm kinda used to it.

Still, something warm for you wouldn't be bad, would it?

Um, w-well, no... But, ah, you don't have to make anything for me.

But I'd like to. Don't worry about it.

Huh? B-but... [And cue a small sigh.] ... O-okay, if that's what you want to do.

Thank you, April. So there.

[She huffs with a quiet laugh.] Just be careful. With how cold it is, it's easy to miss and stab yourself with the needle.

I've had worse.

Well, yeah, but with how cold it is, you might not notice until you notice the blood.

... Though someone had shown me how to use a sewing machine, so it would probably be a better idea to use that. And it isn't too hard to use, once you get the hang of it.

Do we have enough sewing machines here? In the workshop, I guess, but...

... There are a few in the workshop, from what I've noticed. But they don't tend to be used much, though there are a lot of people who are good at sewing by hand.

I'll check out the workshop when it's a bit warmer and I won't freeze my fingers off.

Good plan. It would be bad if that happened, or if your fingers get so numb that you sew yourself to the fabric and don't even notice.

Better to just avoid it.

Exactly. Though with how the temperature just seems to keep dropping, it might be best to avoid sewing in general if you're not really good at it.

How long until spring?
