post office, sewing, and sauna oh my! [open/closed to cain]

[hegantha]

Characters: Amberley and YOU. The last prompt is closed to Ciaphas though.
Setting: Floor 51, 87, and finally 77
Format: Whatever's fine!
Summary: Amberley sets off to sew some new dresses, writes some cute mail for friends, and then finally meets up with Ciaphas so she can boss him around.
Warnings: Open threads should be really tame. The closed thread will involve a lot of eye banging and swearing, most likely.

Floor 51

[ After speaking with Chloe, Amberley realizes that a hobby is something she needs. Granted, she has been spending a lot of time exploring, but that was getting old and stale now that she had gone through the new rooms and the old. Though, she can't imagine doing something that wasn't at least somewhat productive, so she set off to the sewing room. Amberley only came in with one silky dress, and she wanted at least a few more.

With a few failed attempts thrown around her chair, you can see that she's getting the hang of it... kind of? Her most recent attempt, which is just 'alright' doesn't conform to her body, but it's at least wearable without looking completely horrible.

Also, you may or may not notice the Mannequin she kicked down for trying to steal her sewing kit. ]


Floor 87

[ Amberley also wanted to begin using the mailbox system. She had never used mail written on paper, and while it seemed very archaic to her, she still really wanted to try! She managed to swipe some markers and different colors, and she writes in elegant words on sheets of paper she found lying around inside the mail room. She just hoped that everyone here reads Gothic... ]

[ooc: gothic is basically english in the 40k world. ]


Floor 77 | Closed to Ciaphas Cain

[ After telling Ciaphas to meet her here, she waited in the shared locker room. After discovering this room, she had been interested in the lockers, but not enough to reveal the contents she was hiding in there to anyone else. Ciaphas would be the perfect person to make sure that her contents were secure.

She particularly liked this new floor because it was mostly empty, quiet, and rather relaxing. It was a good way to get Ciaphas alone and finally relay information she's been meaning to, but couldn't because of listening ears. Plus, it'll be nice to complain for once, because she doesn't really do that opening up to people thing that others in the tower might have done. ]

[Poke around all the places! Kurt's finally found his way to a nice familiar place, full of one of his favorite things -- sewing machines!

However, there's someone else there, and it's probably rude to cloister himself in a corner and cuddle all the nice soft fabric rather than saying hello, so...]

Hello.

[hegantha]

Hello there!

[ Amberley's completely distracted when she greets Kurt, and manages to knick her finger with the sewing machine. Someone didn't teach her how to use the sewing machine, she just kind of messed around with it until it worked... ]

Frak! [ Yeah, she wasn't expecting that at all. She didn't get hurt too badly, the tip of her finger is just bleeding a bit. She rips off a piece of material nearby and ties it around her finger. ]

Whoops... ah, sorry about that! I hope I didn't startle you any.

[ Trying to regain face; She wasn't exactly doing very well at making a good first impression. ]

floor 87 (Lancer is currently under a curse)

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer had heard something about the new mail system, so he had come to scope out this floor. Unfortunately, for some reason, the climb up from floor 81 had left him rather tired, so he's sitting down, leaning against a section of wall next to the mailboxes.]

Hm?

[He looks over at the pretty girl holding the multicolored markers.]

Ah...I guess someone is gonna be receiving a really pretty letter...

[hegantha]

[ Amberley, trying to be friendly, holds up her current letter that she's working on. ]

Colorful enough?

[puppy_lancer]

[He gives a quick whistle at the rainbow-colored letter.]

Yeah, it is. More colorful than any other letter I've ever seen.

[canthaveme]

Oh dear. [Shyness forgotten, Kurt hurries over and bends to look at the finger.] These things are so tricky. When I was first learning, I had bandages on all my fingers.

[He offers a smile, trying not to stare too openly at Amberly's failed attempts at dress-making.] Not to worry, I'm not startled a bit.

[hegantha]

[ She's starting to catch on that he's a little unusual, but she doesn't really get that this isn't normal behavior for him since she's never met him before. ]

I don't think I've seen you around before. I'm Amberley.

[hegantha]

Oh! You sound like you're really experienced! That's wonderful, I've never had a chance to do something like this myself.

[ Oops, she kind of thinks Kurt is poor now but don't worry she won't say it out loud or anything.

Also it's kind of hard not to stare because somehow she tried to make a dress out of umbrella fabric. ]

[hideandhero]

[Cain had no qualms showing up to his asked area. But he did have problems with sneaking. Despite his want to avoiding fighting at almost any cost, he was certainly bad at not standing in the limelight, as much as he pretended to avoid it.

But he showed up without any undue problems.]

I made it. Any reason to wait until everyone was supposed to be sleeping?

[puppy_lancer]

Lancer. And I don't think I've seen you around either. Otherwise I'd remember such a pretty lass.

[His tone isn't half so jolly as it usually is. He's too tired at the moment.]

[hegantha]

To avoid anyone seeing us, that's why.

[ Though Cain isn't aware that everyone around them is a potential heretic. Yet.

She gestures towards her locker, which has her name engraved on it. It doesn't seem to have a lock or anything attached to it. ]

Can you do me a favor and open that for me?

[ He won't be able to, since despite the lock, only the owner can open it. He doesn't know this yet, though. ]

[hegantha]

[ Eh, it was unusual, but she's heard weirder. She gives a bit of a giggle at the complement, though. ]

Why thank you! You're quite the flatterer, aren't you?

[hideandhero]

[He's already fearing a trap. This was supposed to be romantic???]

Right....give me a moment to check it.

[After wasting a bit of time trying to see if it would blow up, he hesitantly tries to open it...and fails.]

Floor 87

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko, having sent a small letter to MOMO, kept on walking up the Tower, wanting to explore and familize herself with the new floors. While the red poppy field made her sleepy, she had read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She knew what would happy if she settled down for a nap. However, she noticed Amberly writing on a few sheets of paper. Not one to just ignore a friend, Tohko walked up to her with a smile on her face.]

Good morning! Who are you writing to?

[hegantha]

[ Amberley gives a wide smile, and opens it without any effort whatsoever. Inside is an array of weapons, tightly packed together. ]

Good, now I know that these are safe.

[hegantha]

Everyone I've met here! This is such a cute idea, writing letters, I can't wait to mail them all!

[ She's like a kid in a candy store. There's even one in here for you, Tohko, but you're not allowed to read it yet! ]

[hideandhero]

Was that all you needed me here for?

[It seemed a little questionable.]

[hegantha]

[ She sighs lightly, actually showing how tired she really is. No more bright and cheery here. ]

No, but I needed to know that those were safe.

[ Amberley slams the locker door shut again. ]

[tohko_amano]

[Aw..let her read it soon!~ Tohko loves letters.

At that comment, she smiled and chuckled a little.]

Writing, sending, and getting letters is a lot of fun! It's a bit old-fashioned where I'm from, but it's still great. I'm guessing that they didn't have a mail system like this where you're from?

[hegantha]

Not at all. Everything was just sent on data slates.

But dataslates can't do this!

[ She draws a big pink heart on a piece of paper and holds it up ]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko smiled at the heart. Seeing people getting enthusiastic about writing and drawing was wonderful, in her opinion!]

That's great! It's wonderful to see people who like writing and drawing!

[But mostly writing.]

But..what are data slates? We didn't have those in my universe.

[hideandhero]

What? Is it genelocked or something?

[hegantha]

That was my suspicion, since I can't open anyone else's but my own.

Including yours.

[ She points over to one that's a little higher than her own. It's perfect for Ciaphas' height. ]

[hideandhero]

Mine is fine where it is and I'm not going to touch it.

[A hormagaunt or something might pop out. You never know with what he's seen so far.]

[hegantha]

Fine by me, but if you ever need to hide something, you may consider using it. I don't even know how many people actually know about these yet.

[ It's worth mentioning with the way his paranoia seems to work. Amberley's noticed that sometimes, one thing seems to trump another. ]

... I honestly have a lot to tell you. Are you interested in using the sauna? Might be a little nicer than standing out here next to the lockers.
