07 | happy birthday

[alephbet]

Characters: Aleph and you!
Setting: Dormitories, cafeteria, meadow floor, media room, anywhere else you want!
Format: Starting with action brackets, will match anything.
Summary: Today's Aleph's birthday! Now that everyone knows, here are the places he can be caught at.
Warnings: None so far,

[Dormitories]
[Like most people on most days in the tower, Aleph's day begins by waking up in his bed. After showering and dressing and yada yada, he'll wander the halls for a bit.

No real reason. He just wants to stretch his legs a bit, since he'll be taking the elevator for most of today - he doesn't feel like getting into an unnecessary fight on his birthday, and the dormitories are a safe place to jog.]

[Cafeteria]
[Apparently there is supposed to be food! And cake!

Aleph likes these things. And if it's traditional for other people to feed you on your birthday, well, he's not going to complain.

So, he'll be looking for April or chaos in the cafeteria, though this is a good a place as any to accost him.]

[Meadow]
[Aleph will be either practicing his stretches and his swordplay against a hastily-set up target here, or else just lying around in the fields and napping.

He doesn't get to take naps often. They're really nice, and he wakes up feeling more refreshed, assuming nobody is mean enough to wake him up abruptly.

(Totally wake him abruptly.)]

[Media Room]
[No, he's not doing karaoke. But he is commandeering the TV for really cheesy movies. Mystery Science Theater-3000-level bad B-list movies. It seems he either has really bad luck in what he's picking at random or else he genuinely enjoys snorting at terrible acting. Maybe both.

Join him? Snark at the films he's watching?]

[General]
[Aleph's still wearing his armor as he wanders down the stairs, still has his sword and gun on him, and basically still looks like his regular weirdo self. He'll also still be greeting those he passes with 'good morning!' and 'good afternoon!' and 'how's it going?' in a chipper tone. Feel free to smack him.]

[technologic]

Wha- Yeah, of course. You can dance if you want to. [You can leave your friends be- No this is silly.]

[alephbet]

With you, though.

[technologic]

[Blink.] ... But it's your birthday, so I think you can skip that resolution thing for one day. So you can go dance with whoever you want.

[alephbet]

I want to dance with you.

[technologic]

... Wha- Really? There isn't... anyone else you would rather dance with?

[alephbet]

I'd really rather dance with you than anyone else.

[technologic]

[Staaaare.

Then she huffs a quiet chuckle.] Even though I have, ah, two left feet?

[alephbet]

Even if you had three.

[technologic]

[She bursts into quiet laughter now.] W-well, if that's what you want, then I can't say no.

[alephbet]

Great.

[He takes her hands.] Let's start.

[technologic]

Eh- N-now? [She doesn't pull her hands away though.]

[alephbet]

Yes, now.

[technologic]

... O-okay. [She'll just get up onto her feet then.]

[alephbet]

[Time to swing her round~]

[technologic]

[Cue a squeak and then a giggle as she goes along with the spinning, and she manages not to trip over herself.]

[alephbet]

[I think they're going to tango. Aleph wants to tango.]

[technologic]

[Asdfghjl- April will just be trying to keep up with the tango and not trip. Though she's certainly laughing a lot.]

[alephbet]

You're getting better at dancing every time.

[technologic]

Only cause I'm following your lead. I'm surprised I haven't tripped up yet.

[alephbet]

I'm a decent teacher, I guess.

[technologic]

[April gives him a nod as she chuckles quietly.] Yeah, I think you are. And it helps that you're a good dancer.

[alephbet]

One of the best.

[technologic]

Ehe, yep, that is true. You would probably win any dancing contests here.

[alephbet]

Maybe we should have one.

[technologic]

Oh, we should. But we gotta think up prizes and stuff.
