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

[scentofmakai]

Well, I probably wouldn't want to share my boyfriend if I had one.

[technologic]

... Why?

[scentofmakai]

I'd get jealous and beat up the other guy.

[technologic]

[April blinks and tilts her head slightly.] Jealousy. then... I guess that would explain why I feel weird at the thought of Aleph wanting to be with someone else...

[scentofmakai]

So you should beat them up if he ever does.

[technologic]

Wha- W-why? I m-mean, if he wants to be with them, t-then...

[scentofmakai]

Oh, you're right. You should beat him up.

[His eyes might be a little creepy right now...]

[technologic]

[... Teacher looks rather worried now.]

... Uh, Zett?

[scentofmakai]

[Back to normal.]

Yes, teacher?

[technologic]

Your, uh, eyes went a bit weird there.

[scentofmakai]

Bleedover from my other forms, happens sometimes, don't worry about it.

[technologic]

... You... sure? Cause you did look a bit creepy for a second, especially since you were talking about beating someone up.

[scentofmakai]

He would deserve it if he was cheating on you.

[technologic]

I-I guess, but I'm pretty sure Aleph would never cheat. I'm not even sure if he's even capable of it.

[scentofmakai]

Good, then he gets to stay unbeaten up.

[technologic]

... W-would you really beat him up if he cheated?

[scentofmakai]

Yeah, I really would.

[technologic]

B-b-but why?

[scentofmakai]

You don't deserve to have your heart broken.

[technologic]

[Blink.] Oh, um, t-t-thank you, Zett... B-but don't worry, I'm pretty sure Aleph will never do that.

[scentofmakai]

If he ever does, you know where to call.

[technologic]

R-right, I will. Once I've yelled at him a bit myself first.

[scentofmakai]

Of course, that's your right.

[technologic]

Ehe, right! But luckily it'll never happen, so I'll be saving my yelling for something else.

[scentofmakai]

I bet your yelling's really scary.
