Hacking #09: Distractions

[technologic]

Characters: April and anyone else!
Setting: Floor 15, Floor 14, Floor 99 and Dorm Room 2-04 (Locked to Aleph).
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you!
Summary: After the events of the other week, April has decided that the best course of action is to distract herself as much as she possibly can with whatever she can.

[Floor 15]
[April tended to try to have something to work on when she's at the workshop, and today is no different. It's a bit awkward to try to work on things when one of her arms is still injured, but it hasn't stopped her before and it isn't going to stop her now. Plus, she's using her powers to help her move and bend metal anyway. And she seems to have a collection of things that she's working on, judging by the small collection of jars she has along with the random bits and pieces of metal and wire laying across the table she's working at, along with a few small lights and cds and attempts at making miniature wheels.

… Yeah, it's not really clear what she's making but at least she seems enthusiastic about it]

[Floor 14]
[Video games also tend to be a good distraction, at least to April anyway. Though her attempt at playing a racing game doesn't seem to be going well, judging how she keeps crashing the car to the point where she has to start the race over again. Which is just what happened now as she huffs and slumps in her beanbag chair slightly, pouting at the tv screen.]

D-dammit, this is really hard...

[Floor 99]
[She had never really explored this floor much before, so her restlessness eventually led to her looking around the caverns. While April did give herself a headache by examining the crystals too curiously, she does eventually decide to see what would happen if she used her electricity to reflect light through the crystals. And she is rather pleased her her results, judging by how she soon becomes focused on the little light show she managed to create along the cavern walls. And it is pretty to look at, if a bit blinding too thanks to how much twinkling is going on]

[Dorm Room 2-04. Locked to Aleph.]
[April had said a while ago that she would make a few things for Aleph, and today she's making good on the promise. Which is why she'll be knocking on his rooms door, a bag slung over her shoulder.]

Hey, Aleph, you there?

Comments

[alephbet]

Absolutely - I want to know what you put on there.

[technologic]

Okay, I'll just turn it on... [Turning on the music player and cue this song playing.]

[alephbet]

[He listens for a few moments, a smile on his face, before beginning to shake in time to the music - and then he's full-out dancing.]

[technologic]

[And April laughs again.] Ehehe, I'm guessing you like the song?

[alephbet]

Absolutely. Come on, dance with me?

[technologic]

Hmm, y-you want me to dance with you? [But she still walks over to him.]

[alephbet]

Why wouldn't I want to dance with my beautiful girlfriend?

[technologic]

[Cue her face going red.] W-well, I'm still not that good yet...

[alephbet]

Don't care. Dance with me.

[technologic]

[She smiles at him, before going over to dance with him. And she is starting to get way better at this.]

[alephbet]

[They both have the moves like Jagger.]

[technologic]

[Aw yeaaah. Though Aleph is still the most best at this.] W-well, it does look like I'm getting better at this!

[alephbet]

Of course you are. You're doing great.

[technologic]

Really? Ehe, I'm glad to hear that! Does this mean I'll be almost as good as you one day?

[alephbet]

Of course! Anyone can surpass me with practice. [Peck on the cheek.]

[technologic]

[She blushes and gives him a cheek kiss back.] But you're really good, I'm not sure if that's possible.

[alephbet]

I picked up my dancing skills through experience. I'm not some superhuman dancer or anything...

...okay, not really a superhuman dancer. Specifically.

[technologic]

[April giggles, before leaning up to kiss him gently.] But you're still really awesome. And I'm still a bit of a klutz.

[alephbet]

[Kisskiss.] You're getting a lot better. If you want to surpass me, you can.

[technologic]

You really think I can?

[alephbet]

I really think so.

[technologic]

... Thank you, Aleph. That will be one of my goals then, to get up to your dancing level and then one day surpass you!

[alephbet]

I'll be waiting for that day. We'll have a party for it.

[technologic]

A-a party?

[alephbet]

A party in your honor.
