Hacking #13: Rest (Closed)

[technologic]

Characters: April and Aleph
Setting: Floor 25 (Locked to Aleph).
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you
Summary: Due to a combination of Aleph's towerversary and recent plot happenings, they decided a date was needed in order to unwind a bit.


[It's in the evening when they head down to the meadow floor, April with a couple of bags slung over her shoulder; one with food and one with something she had made for Aleph. She eventually flops onto the ground under a tree with a sigh, and glances over at him with a small smile.]

It's nice to have a bit of a break, huh?

Comments

[technologic]

It's different than making cake, though.

[But despite her fretting, the food does taste good. April just worries too much.]

[alephbet]

It's good, April. You can relax.

[technologic]

A-ah, that's good... [Siiiigh and she relaxes, before taking a bite of a hotdog.]

... So, how're you feeling? [Since towerversary and plot shenanigans.]

[alephbet]

I'm not sure. Thinking about all the people who've gone home... that they could be in danger...

[technologic]

... Yeah... [April glances down, before she nods firmly to herself.] But we'll stop Ruana and save them, I'm certain of it!

[alephbet]

We will. I'm absolutely sure of it. [Nod.]

[technologic]

Mmhm! We've both done things that were considered impossible, and if we all work together, I'm sure we can all save them!

[alephbet]

Exactly. After all that we've done there's no way we'll be defeated.

[technologic]

Hehe, exactly! [And she happily takes a bite of her hotdog.] It'll be hard, but we'll win and then we'll get to go home.

[alephbet]

I've missed it a lot. It's been a long time...

[He nibbles on his burger again.]

[technologic]

Yeah... But at least we'll have a story to tell everyone when we get back?

[alephbet]

Plenty of stories.

[technologic]

... Probably more about the monsters and events here, but there should hopefully be a few good ones too.

[alephbet]

I can think of at least one.

[technologic]

Really? What is it?

[alephbet]

You. I've got plenty of stories to tell about you.

[technologic]

Wha- [She looks up at him in surprise, her cheeks now turning bright red.] But... But w-why would you want to tell stories a-about me?

[alephbet]

Well, you're my favorite person, so...

[technologic]

B-b-but.. I... But... [Just going to cover her burning cheeks with her hands now.]

[alephbet]

[Just going to wait for her to calm down because telling her how cute she is like that might not help.]

[technologic]

[Her face might turn perma-red if he said that, though she soon calms down.] B-b-b-but what about your o-other friends here?

[alephbet]

Not as good as you.

[technologic]

N-n-no way! This i-is me we're talking about!

[alephbet]

Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree.

[technologic]

Wha- Why?
