Hacking #08: Memories

[technologic]

Characters: April and anyone else!
Setting: Floor 28, Floor 100 and Dorm Room 2-04 (Locked to Aleph).
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you!
Summary: In which April practices music and then later gets hit with a bad cause of homesickness.

[Floor 28]
[April has recently started to teach herself how to play the piano, and today she can be found in the music room practising. She... isn't really that good though, and judging by how she winces everytime she messes up, she seems very aware of this fact. But hey, at least she's trying!

And at least she's using a book to help her, even if she does keep messing up often.]

[Floor 100]
[April tended to avoid this floor. The moment she saw the scenery, she walked right through this floor. But today she had stopped, now looking at the sight of a big, old, decaying building within a ruined city. She didn't really know why... Maybe she missed home, and just wanted to see it, even if it was only a hologram.

… She didn't realize she missed home this much, and she can't help the wince when her hand goes through the wall of the fake building.]

[Dorm Room 2-04. Locked to Aleph.]
[Aleph had said that she could talk to him anytime, right? So why was she so nervous about knocking on his room door? Every time she tried to knock, she would pull back before moving to leave and then convincing herself that she should talk to him, even if she's nervous about it. It takes a few repeats of this cycle before she gathers up the nerve to shakily knock on his door.]

Ehe, you don't have to if you don't want to.

[alephbet]

I want to, though.

[technologic]

[Blink, blink.] Y-you do?

[alephbet]

Yeah, but I probably won't be any good.

[technologic]

Well, you just stroking my back felt nice, so I think a massage from you would feel even better.

[alephbet]

I've never been taught how to.

[technologic]

Hmm... Would there be books about it?

[alephbet]

Probably. So, I should check out one of the libraries.

[technologic]

Mm, I will as well.

[alephbet]

We can practice on each other.

[technologic]

Ah, that's a good idea! And that way we can find out what the other likes and doesn't like.

[alephbet]

And you won't punch me if I mess up.

[technologic]

Of course not. Anyway, my punches would barely hurt you.

[alephbet]

It'd hurt a little more than that...

[technologic]

... Maybe. But I'm not gonna test that out.

[alephbet]

Good plan.

[technologic]

And I would rather hug you than punch you anyway.

[alephbet]

I think I'd like that a lot better.

[technologic]

Same here. I'll be more likely to tell you what you did wrong than punch you if you do mess up.

[alephbet]

Good to hear. That might help me not do it again in the future.
