11 | they should worry

[alephbet]

Characters: Aleph and you!
Setting: Floor 1, Floor 62, Floor 86
Format: Actionspam
Summary: Aleph shares a little wine that will knock the unsuspecting out. He heads up to the beach, and from there to the fairy ring floor where he has a "little" problem.
Warnings: Drinking, by minors if you.. count Aleph as a minor. Will update to include other things if they occur.

[Floor 1]
[There was a rather large bottle of wine on the table.

On close inspection, it would be labeled with simply 'Dionysus' on one side of the label. Anyone paying any attention to it would get Aleph to smile and say:]

If you promise to drink responsibly, I'll let you have some.

[Warning: alcohol made by the god of wine is delicious, but severely intoxicating.]

[Floor 62]
[It's good to be on the beach when it's warm...

Don't mind Aleph's deposited top half of his armor. It was 70 degrees and it felt great to just stretch out on the beach there.]

[Floor 86]
[Maybe he'd drank too much of the wine. There was certainly a sway in his step when he was proceeding up the stairs, enough that he stepped off onto this floor in particular.

Right into a ring of mushrooms. Should they even be allowed to grow that close to the stairs? Either way, it was too late to think of that now, as a small group of fairies appeared and surrounded him.]

What a silly man!

Coming into our ring, how mean!

[Right, he could handle this, he negotiated with spirits for a living... He started to speak.] It was an accident-

Did he bring iron into our ring?

Scary, scary, we'll have to make sure he doesn't use it!

[Well crap.

The next thing Aleph saw was a swirl of lights, and then... everything suddenly looked a whole lot bigger.

Those who enter this floor after Aleph will notice that he's about the size of somebody's hand - that is, if they look before they step onto it.]

For what?

[Waifu you have seen him shirtless.]

[technologic]

[But manners! And this is April.]

F-f-for bothering you... U-um, I can come b-back later, if you want...

[alephbet]

The beach would be big enough for us both even if we weren't married. And we are, so.

[He pats the sand next to him.]

[technologic]

[At least she doesn't hesitate to go sit next to him, even if she does still keep her eyes averted.]

Um... W-what's brought you to this floor?

[alephbet]

It's warm today. Since it won't be warm in winter, I thought I'd enjoy it.

[technologic]

Y-yeah, same here... Though I'll be kinda happy when it gets to winter, cause this is still way too hot for me...

[alephbet]

Are you used to living in a winter wonderland?

[Yes he knows that song.]

[technologic]

[Pause. And then she giggles quietly.]

Ehe, y-yeah, I am. The ice was hard to move around on, but it wasn't too bad.

[alephbet]

I guess it would get taking used to. Weather at home swings around more wildly than here, barring going through four seasons in a week.

[technologic]

Ah, yeah, I remember that... [She rubs the back of her neck, still not looking at Aleph just yet.] ... But this is nice though. I never really got to do this back home...

[alephbet]

Maybe you can put in a bigger one of the sunlights you gave me and make your own beach?

[technologic]

... Make my own beach? [She props her chin in her hand as she thinks.] ... That sounds like a really good idea!

[alephbet]

I'm glad! I'm sure you could.

[April's amazing and can do anything.]

[technologic]

Ehe, I'll do my best! It would be nice to have something like that when it gets really cold, at least.

[alephbet]

I'll have to come visit then, if our winters are the same time..

[technologic]

If yours is in December too, or the end of the year, then yeah I think they would would be.

[alephbet]

That's the right time.

[It's sad to talk about them being on different worlds, though...]

[technologic]

Ah, okay, just making sure... [She trails off, frowning slightly.] ... Is something wrong?

[alephbet]

Just... It's hard to think about going back to our own separate worlds, sometimes.

[technologic]

It... [She presses her lips together as she trails off.] ... I-it won't be permanently though, we could still find a way to see each other again...

[alephbet]

I know we will, but separating even for a little while will still hurt...

[technologic]

[April frowns to herself, but now she finally turns to look at him.] I-I won't let us stay separated for longer than a month, I p-promise.

[alephbet]

I believe you. [He's satisfied with that promise.] I'll do what I can, too.

[technologic]

Right! So you don't need to worry, we won't be separated for long... A-and then we can surprise everyone by telling them we're m-married.

[alephbet]

I think some of your friends might have a heart attack.

[Gently teasing.]
