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.]

[She wasn't expecting that and just blinks at him in surprise.] H-huh?

[alephbet]

[Tackle hug.

Don't even act like you weren't expecting it.]

[technologic]

[She's just gonna flop over onto the sand from the tackle hug, though she hugs him back.] ... W-w-what prompted that?

[alephbet]

Nothing in particular.

[technologic]

[Blink. And then she giggles quietly.] S-so you just felt like tackle hugging me?

[alephbet]

Sometimes I do that.

[technologic]

[A quiet giggle, and she gives his side another quick poke. No more tickling though.]

O-one day I'll be able to knock you over with a tackle hug, though

[alephbet]

I really don't think you'll put on that much weight.

[Pause.]

Was that totally insensitive and I should never have said it?

[technologic]

[Blink.

Blink.

And then she bursts into giggles.] A-am I really that short?

[alephbet]

[Oh phew she's not mad.]

You kind of are.

[technologic]

[It's okay April is very aware of her shortness.]

Hmm... Maybe if I drink more milk I might start growing again...

[alephbet]

That is supposed to do that. Good luck, let's see if you can catch up to me.

[technologic]

... It might take me a while to catch up with you. You're really tall.

[alephbet]

I can't really help that.

[technologic]

Ah, true, and it means I have someone who can help me reach the really high shelves!

[alephbet]

I'm willing to do that for you anytime.

[technologic]

Ehe, yay, thank you! You're the best husband!

[alephbet]

The best wife deserves it.
