[Open] too many cooks

[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.]

[technologic]

Huh? What are you thanking me for?

[alephbet]

Whatever you're thanking me for.

[technologic]

W-well, I'm thanking you for... All this. Y-you could be with anyone you wanted, a-after all.

[alephbet]

But you're the only one I want.

[technologic]

[So, so red right now.] I-I-I am?

[alephbet]

You are.

[technologic]

And... A-a-a-and it's the s-same back to y-you.

[alephbet]

That makes me really happy.

[technologic]

I-I'm glad to hear that...

... U-um, how long had you felt like this for?

[alephbet]

Since we started dating, practically.

[technologic]

[She just stares at him in shock.] W-what? But... B-b-but I thought it was... w-was more like a crush thing that you had.

[alephbet]

It was, it got bigger.

[technologic]

... W-why did it get b-bigger?

[alephbet]

I realized just how much I liked you the more I spent time with you.

[technologic]

O-o-oh... I... I-I... It w-was the same with me. T-the more time I spent with you, t-the more I realized just h-how much I liked you.

[alephbet]

I'm really happy about that.

[technologic]

I-I'll admit, I was... u-unsure about my feelings when you first asked me out, s-since I didn't understand them. A-and I guess I just... I-I just fell in l-love with you.

[alephbet]

That's okay. It must be weird to be asked out by... well, someone like me.

[technologic]

Someone like you?

[alephbet]

I'm a little bit younger than you.

[technologic]

[April shrugs.] That doesn't bother me. And a lot of the time you act more mature than me anyway.

How old you are or what you are doesn't matter to me, Aleph.

[alephbet]

[He takes a moment to register that, then clings to her tightly.]

[technologic]

[She blinks in surprise at the cling, but then reaches to rub his back gently.] ... Aleph?

[alephbet]

I-I just didn't think anyone would want me.

[technologic]

[Her expression saddens, and she hugs him tightly.] W-well, I do want you. Because you're someone who is incredible kind and sweet and great, a-and I'm lucky to know you.
