[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.]

[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.

[alephbet]

Thank you, so much. [He returns the hug almost as tightly.

[technologic]

You don't have to thank me. I care about you, a lot, and I will show you this as many times as you want.

[alephbet]

I couldn't be luckier to have you.

[technologic]

[She quickly turns red again.] Wha- B-b-but I d-don't do anything.

[alephbet]

You make me happy - what else do you need to do?

[technologic]

... I-if I can do that, then that's m-more than enough for me. And I'll do my best to keep making you happy.

[alephbet]

I'll try my best, too. You deserve to be happy.

[technologic]

W-well, I'm not too sure if I deserve it, b-but you easily make me happy just by being there, s-so you should have no trouble.

[alephbet]

I'll take that. It's a start.

[technologic]

But you don't have to do anymore than that.

[alephbet]

I don't have to, but I will anyway.

[technologic]

[Her face turns even more red, and she leans up to kiss him gently.] A-and I'll do my best to make y-you happy.

[alephbet]

I'm really glad. [And then they snuggled and kissed forever.]

[technologic]

[So much snuggling and kissing. Though April kinda has to ruin it.]

... Sooo, did you still want to help me make that boat?

[alephbet]

Sure. Should we start work on that?

[technologic]

Okay! We're gonna need to head to one of the workshop floors for this, but there should be stuff there to help shelter us from the rain while we work.

[alephbet]

Let's go. I wish we had an umbrella...

[technologic]

[April tilts her head, and then motions to the coat he's wearing.] Is it okay if you pull your arms out of the sleeves of that?

[alephbet]

[He does so, not sure where she's going with this.]
