[alephbet]

Characters: Catch-all post for Mini's characters (Aleph, Katsuya Suou, Zett Takajo, V/V, Ryuunosuke Uryuu) and you!
Setting: Arouund the tower.
Format: Starting with action brackets, will match anything.
Summary: The weather keeps changing and it's a jerk :|
Warnings: Ryuunosuke's threads with Kariya and Waverhave blood, violence, mutilation, and death.

[Spring, Aleph, meadow]
[Hiding under a tree, Aleph tries to dry out his Arm Terminal, which is starting to go on the fritz. His demons are out and surrounding him - too dangerous to keep them in a malfunctioning device.]

It's no good...

[He sighs and leans against the tree as the rain pours around them.]

[Spring, Katsuya Suou, sauna]
[Katsuya slides his family photos inside the sauna locker. They're already mostly soaked, but he can't bear to throw them out yet. Maybe they'll dry out and be salvageable?

That done, he groans and paces the floor.]

[Summer, Zett Takajo, space projection floor]
[Zett isn't too concerned about lightning, it being his natural element...

And it looks really cool on this floor.]

Maybe I should try the caverns next!

[Autumn, Ryuunosuke Uryuu, staircase]
[Whoopsy-daisy! Ryuunosuke just slipped on a pile of leaves and fell onto the floor on his butt.]

Owww...

[How dangerous this is depends on the particular floor he just fell onto.]

[Winter, V/V, dorm floors]
[V/V has had a brilliant idea.

See, there are lots of unoccupied rooms on the fifth floor, right? And they have four beds apiece, and those beds have blankets. So she goes from room to room, gathering blankets and piling them all together.

Other people may see her as a giant pile of blankets walking around on its own.]

It might sting a little, but they're pretty convenient. They're right there.

[tohko_amano]

That's true..but still..I wouldn't want to take an option that could hurt you if we couldn't. Maybe we could use sticks or something.

[heavenscorpse]

I bet that would work too!

[tohko_amano]

Hopefully it would! Of course, we might find other tools-like paintbrushes or something-that haven't been destroyed later on, but sticks might work.

I suppose we should work quickly, or everyone will freeze. Which do you want to do, gather berries and brushes or papers?

[heavenscorpse]

I'll get the papers, you can get the other parts.

[tohko_amano]

Alright then! I'll go and grab them then. I'll meet you back here when I'm done.

[Still tightly holding onto the blanket, Tohko walked through the hallway and up the stairs. Normally, she would have ran, but she had to walk-it was a good way to conserve energy and heat. She stopped in the cafeteria to grab a bowl before moving onwards to the sixth floor. Seeing all the snow made her doubt that she would find any berries at all..but she had to try. If she couldn't, then she would see if any of the cafeteria's food would work.

In the meantime, she started gathering up small, strong sticks that they could use.]

[heavenscorpse]

[While Tohko did that, V/V headed to the floor with the request forms. At least she knew that they would be there, so she gathered a whole bunch before returning.]

[tohko_amano]

[It had taken her a lot of digging and a lot of patience, but Tohko did manage to find a few berries buried under the snow and leaves. To make sure they would have enough liquid, she grabbed a container of apple juice on the way back down to meet V/V. She smiled at the girl as she walked towards her.]

I'm sorry..I couldn't find any berries, but I did find some apple juice. Maybe that would work.

[heavenscorpse]

I think that should work. And, I found enough paper that we can make signs!

[She produces the forms proudly.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko grinned at that and nodded. If her hands were free, she'd be clapping for V/V right about now.]

That's great! I guess we can start making signs then..where should we host it?

[heavenscorpse]

How about one of the upper lounges?

[tohko_amano]

Oh, sure! One that's close to the dorms so that everyone can get there quickly.

[Tohko held out a stick for V/V to take.]

I guess we had better get started!~

[heavenscorpse]

Alright!

[Without further ado, V/V takes a stick and starts making up a sign.]

[tohko_amano]

[Smiling, Tohko took a sheet of paper from V/V's pile and started to work too. Hopefully they could get these all done in time.]

[heavenscorpse]

[Work work work! V/V works with a determination, but tries not to get them sloppy and illegible.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko, being a book girl, wasn't bad at writing. She just had a few things in her hands that were impeding her, but it wasn't illegible. She kept on writing, smiling all the while and trying to forget about the cold.]

[heavenscorpse]

Done!

[V/V has produced a few signs telling people where to go for a cuddlepile.]

[tohko_amano]

[And Tohko smiled at that, having done the same.]

Alright then! Now we just need to find someplace to put them..and something to hang them up with.

[heavenscorpse]

Maybe there are pins in the workshop?

[tohko_amano]

Maybe! Or a roll of tape. I'll go and see if there is..hang on one moment!

[And, after putting down her things, Tohko is running off again!~]

[heavenscorpse]

[And V/V is patiently waiting.]

[tohko_amano]

[Quickly, Tohko came running back, carrying a roll of tape. She paused for a moment to catch her breath before smiling.]

Here we are! We can use this!

[heavenscorpse]

That's great! But you didn't have to run all the way, silly.

[tohko_amano]

Well..maybe not.

[Tohko chuckled as she started hanging up one of the posters.]

But the quicker I go, the quicker we can get this set up! Plus, by moving around, you warm up your body.

[heavenscorpse]

[True, V/V was shivering a little.]

You're right. Let me help.
