[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]

Not one bit.

[technologic]

[Yep, so much blushing now. But she smiles up at him.] Then we... w-we should both agree that we're lucky then, right?

[alephbet]

That works for me. [Cheek kiss.]

[technologic]

[She giggles and gives him a cheek kiss back.

And then she almost slips on the stairs because of all the water.] Ah- Dammit... Hopefully it'll at least stop raining sometime soon.

[alephbet]

Maybe we should pay more attention to where we're going.

[technologic]

You're not a klutz like me, so you're less likely to slip... I've never been good at walking on slippery things.

[alephbet]

I could carry you maybe...

[technologic]

... I, um, wouldn't be too heavy for you?

[alephbet]

No. But you'd have to trust me.

[technologic]

And I do trust you, probably more than I trust anyone else.

[alephbet]

All right. Can I carry you?

[technologic]

[She fidgets nervously, before nodding.] Y-yeah, you can c-carry me.

[alephbet]

[Carefully, Aleph picks April off the ground and settles her in his arms so that she'll be comfortable.]

[technologic]

[She makes a quiet sound when she's picked up, almost like a chirp, but she pretty much relaxes in his arms. She does trust him completely, after all.]

[alephbet]

All right. Here we go. [He continues on the stairway extra-carefully.]

[technologic]

... Um, thank you. B-but you don't have to be so careful.

[alephbet]

It would be really embarrassing if I dropped you, not to mention painful.

[technologic]

Why would it be embarrassing? And I've been hurt worse.

[alephbet]

Since we're assuming I'm more coordinated than you.

[technologic]

Well, I'm not exactly easy to carry, so you shouldn't be embarrassed if you drop me.

... If you want, I can walk.

[alephbet]

No, no. This is actually really nice.

[technologic]

Huh? I-it is?

[alephbet]

It is. We could do this more often.

[technologic]

[She starts to turn faintly red.] Y-you would want to carry me more often?

[alephbet]

If that's all right with you.
