[Fixing things] Romeo was glad the heat was over, he had hated being so thirsty all the time. Hungry he could cope with but thirsty had been hard.

He felt heavy and as he sat up in bed he saw it was covered with leaves! It must be Autumn now! He grinned rolling in bed listening to the leaves crunching.

Getting up he looked around his room and his eyes settled on his puppet theater, it had gotten ruined again in the rain but he knew how to fix it now, he wasn't sad like the last time it had happened.

He was sadder about his books, Moby Dick, the picture book which he had learned to read with, his gift from miss Tohko. They were all ruined as well and he couldn't fix them.

But he could fix his puppet theater so in the name of keeping his spirits up he went over to grab it and dragged it out into the hall. The problem was it was bigger than him, he might need some help getting it all the way to floor fifteen.

[Making art] He worked on the theater for hours, painting it anew, finding new material for curtains, even getting some wood to support the bottom where the rain had warped and twisted it. The paint job was... interesting, but it looked well loved at least.

He stood admiring his work, it had been run, even if he had had to battle with leaves which kept getting stuck in the paint.

Which gave him an idea actually... While his theater dried he went to get some supplies. Paper, some glue, more paint and a whole lot of leaves.

Anyone walking in to floor fifteen would find a paint covered leaf monster sticking leaves to paper and painting patterns with the artistic ability of a much younger child. But this is the first time he has ever done something like this.

[See me soar] He took his paintings up to the graveyard, finding Molly's grave first and putting a picture next to it, "The towers gone all funny Molly! It's been raining inside, I bet you would find ways to have fun though!"

Sasuke was next, "Itachi's okay, he's getting better at being a good person now. And he's been helping people a lot!" He went to a few more, he didn't have enough pictures for all his friends but he tried to talk to them all at least.

Well until there was a roar and he was snatched up off his feet into the air. He screamed as he was flung this way and that, the air snatched from his lungs. It felt like he was up for ever but then he was flung downwards, right into a headstone, there was a crack as his head hit it and he lay there limply.

Comments

[raichung]

Really? Thanks! It's an aquarium full of fish! [and it does look like one since that isn't too difficult]

[myblueskies]

I can see! They're the fish right! [He pointed at the leaves] You're really good at this!

[raichung]

Yeah, they are! [he laughs happily at the praise] Thanks! What's your picture?

[myblueskies]

It's a field full of flowers, and there are some weasels playing in it. [Chung would be forgiven for not getting this at all, as it was a mess of leaves and paint.]

[raichung]

I see! [and trying to see it!] Ah, this is one of the weasels, isn't it?

[myblueskies]

[Romeo nodded] It is!

[raichung]

Are you fond of weasels?

[myblueskies]

Yes! I have a friend who is a weasel!

[raichung]

I see! Is he here too?

[myblueskies]

He is! Do you want to meet him?

[raichung]

Sure, I'd love too! What's his name?

[myblueskies]

Piccolo! [He took the sleepy weasel out of his jacket, who snuffed at the leaves and began to investigate this new person.]

[raichung]

[Chung blinked with surprise at the weasel's sudden appearance!]

You... keep him in your pocket...?

[myblueskies]

Only if he's sleeping. He likes to ride on my head most the time!

[raichung]

I see! Well, it's nice to meet you, Piccolo!

[myblueskies]

[Piccolo snuffed at his hand in greeting and curled up in the leaves.]

[raichung]

[Chung laughs a little at that and reaches out to pet the little animal.] Have you had him for long?

[myblueskies]

A long time! He was supposed to stay with my brothers when I went to Milano but he never listens to me and he followed me. He was just a tiny baby when I found him, something had attacked his home.

[raichung]

I see. So you raised him all by yourself then? That is really something!

[myblueskies]

I did! So he's like another little brother!

[raichung]

That's great! How many brothers do you have?

[myblueskies]

Two! They were born on the same day and they are four! Well... five now, or six. Do people get older in heaven?

[raichung]

Oh! They're twins then? Eh...? Ah! I'm sorry!!

[myblueskies]

Yep they are. [He nodded, though he blinked in confusion when Chung apologised.] You don't got to be sorry, I'll see them again when we beat the bad people.

[raichung]

But... but if they are in Heaven, you wouldn't be able to see them unless you...
