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.]

[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.]

[technologic]

[That gets a quiet giggle from her.]

Ehehe, probably! Or they might think they're hallucinating or really drunk.

[alephbet]

Hiroko will be sad she missed it and Louis will probably not care that much.

[technologic]

Ah, it would have been nice if Hiroko could have come... [Though she laughs sheepishly at what he says about Louis.] ... D-do you think he would approve, though?

[alephbet]

I'm sure he would. Who wouldn't like you? Even a grumpy person like him would have to agree with me.

[technologic]

I can think of a few people who don't like me... [Comes with being a group leader back home.] ... B-but you really think so?

[alephbet]

Really, I think so.

[technologic]

Okay, t-that's good. I imagine things wouldn't go well if your best friend didn't like me.

[alephbet]

If he didn't, I'd tell him to deal with it anyway.

[technologic]

Eh? A-are you sure? I w-wouldn't wanna get between you two...

[alephbet]

He has other things to focus on, like ruling Makai, that he doesn't need to get involved in my love life anyway.

[technologic]

[Blink, blink. And she chuckles quietly.] Mm, I guess that's true... What about the rest of your world, though? Wouldn't they be surprised at how you're married?

[alephbet]

It's none of their business. They can be surprised all they want, it doesn't matter to me.

[Priorities!]

[technologic]

[Blink, blink, blink.] ... Ehe, I guess that's true. So long as you're happy, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

[alephbet]

Exactly.

[Kiss on the cheek.]
