The Curious P/A Ramshackle Fort

[thisclinchesit]

Characters: Shoutarou and anyone who encounters him.
Setting: Early morning in the dorms, late morning in the library.
Format: Action to start, but will follow you if you want prose.
Summary: Shoutarou builds a fort, for science.
Warnings: Grown man doing a childlike thing?

Dorms:
[In some of the not-occupied rooms of the new dorm level, Shoutarou is gathering sheets from the beds. Why is he doing this? You should ask him!]

Library:
[One table is loaded with a pile of gathered sheets. A couple of other tables are loaded with books. Very, very loaded. There's even books stacked on the floor around the table. There's a few empty shelves carefully arranged in an open area, and another is being moved by a man in black and purple armor.]

[Luke had been spending more time in his room, since Mr. Kirkland gave him books to read. But he wanted to be prompt about returning them to the library when he'd finished. Midsummer tucked under his arm, he hesitated in the hall when he heard rustling, going to investigate.]

Um...excuse me...?

[Shou looks up, holding a part of a sheet that was half-stripped from a bed.]

...yes?

[lilpuzzleteer.livejournal.com]

Uh. [Luke cocked his head to the side, then tilted his hat up.]

Is that allowed...? [Not that he much cared for the rules of this place, but he didn't want people to get in trouble.]

[thisclinchesit]

I don't know, but I suppose I'll find out.

...I don't know if that's any way I'd want to learn the rules. [Maybe he was being overcautious, who could say.]

What are you gathering all that for, anyway?

[thisclinchesit]

I've noticed there's no real 'private' places in this tower. I'm gonna make a fort out of bedsheets and bookshelves and see if the powers-that-be do anything about it.

[lilpuzzleteer.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Okay, that made more sense than a grown man making a fort cos he's halfboiled. Luke's still a bit skeptical.]

Do you need any help? I suppose if it's in the name of inquiry, it's worth it.

[ALSO TOTALLY NOT EXCITED ABOUT BUILDING A FORT.]

[thisclinchesit]

I could use a hand carrying some of the sheets, sure.

[WHO ARE YOU CALLING HALF-BOILED, LUKE? HM?]

[lilpuzzleteer.livejournal.com]

Okay~ [And a nice armful of sheets were taken and cuddled, with his eyes just barely visible.]

Where are you bringing all this...?

[thisclinchesit]

Down to the library.

[The last bed is stripped, and the rest of the sheets are gathered, though he chuckles a bit at Luke.] Be careful on the stairs, kiddo.
