towerofanimus | there's a let it go joke here somewhere

Characters: Grumpy redhead and you!
Setting: Various; see prompts.
Format: Whatever man, you know I don't care.
Summary: Catch-all for February; event stuff may be added later if needed.
Warnings: Valentine's mini event = really bitchy Asch.

Cafeteria Kitchens, early afternoon, any day 1st-13th

[Anyone who braves the cafeteria will find a usual scene - Asch with a bowl full of batter, or his hands deep in bread dough, or cleaning some animal of its meat.

On the twelfth and thirteenth, there's a big bigger prey than usual - large pieces of chocobo meat fill a table, in various states of "frozen" and "cooked," with whatever piece Asch is working on at the moment in front of him. Hell of a bird, that.]

[Floor 101, the morning of the 9th]

[A stop by the hidden floor has become a part of his morning rounds, since he prefers to catch the elevator on this floor rather than at the top of the dorms above. It's less crowded that way.

This morning, though, he has to stop and double-take at the thickening layer of pink snow building up on the garden paths and ledges.]

You have got to be kidding me.

[Around the dorms & elsewhere - CLOSED TO PREVIOUS CR WHO WERE IN LAST MONTH'S EVENT]

[And for those of you who are choosing to stay in your rooms until the malfunctioning powers come to an end - luckily, there's a redheaded delivery service with your name on it.

If you don't run into him on the stairs or in the elevator, with arms full of bundled, makeshift meals, then knock-knock. Here's something a little less sugary sweet and morbid. You'll let him in, right?]

[Valentine's Mini-event catchall - the 14th, obviously]

[At least there's warnings this time. That's about the only good thing about this, really. Come morning there's Asch with a deep pink heart on his cheek and a bad attitude that might be familiar to anyone from Auldrant - he stomps his way up and down the staircase in a rush, with a glare leveled at anyone who gets in his way.

There's no food deliveries today, certainly - as far as he's concerned, you can all just starve. He's got better things to do than worry about people like you - even if yu're one of the people still inclined to help him out.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

What do you think?

[The happy look is gone quickly, replaced by an expression that clearly says "stop asking me questions you already know the answers to."]

Get the entity that is practically the incarnation of the Score talking with someone who was practically raised to destroy it, and I'm sure you can imagine the results.

[It doesn't take a genius.]

[It doesn't--but it does confirm some things about Asch and Lorelei's relationship. Jade shrugs it off in that way he usually does.]

Dear oh dear. And Lorelei seemed ever so fond of you, too.

[Another small bite of egg. When he's finished chewing and swallowing:]

But even without those visions, which were largely rather unpleasant, I can assure you that the Score could be, and was, changed. At least, it had been by my when.

[The comment on fondness gets a snort - if you ask Asch, Lorelei is overly fond and somewhat smothering. And the younger redhead it too independent to be comfortable around a psuedoparent that Wants Things he isn't ready for.]

It's different, having this kind of confirmation.

[And on that note, time to get to work on those pancakes.]

[Family quarrels are not something Jade has any intention of getting into, so he merely smiles at the snort and leaves it at that. Instead:]

What were the most recent events in Auldrant when you were brought here?

[He knows for everyone else from Auldrant, even the Luke from a different version entirely (more or less), but not Asch. He never had the chance to ask before now, for obvious reasons.]

[Well, it's been a while since he had to answer this question. The response comes rote, like he's said it before.]

You lot were on your way to the Radiation Gate.

[Jade holds his chin.]

And you were injured from your battle with Van. Correct?

[A nod.]

Not that it mattered once I woke up here. Since then, most of those that arrived from Auldrant have either been from significantly before the lands descended, or after the assault on Eldrant.

I assume you mean overall, rather than the current group. Most of the Auldrantians here now are from somewhere between those two points.

[Nom eggs. They're actually pretty good, not that Asch's cooking abilities were in doubt; Jade had traveled with him twice before, if briefly, which was long enough to make it clear that Asch is a competent cook. Van's probably to thank for that, given Tear's ability.]

Overall, less than half of us who have been here are still around.

[Nom eggs, nom pancakes. Breakfast really is decent, compared to last year when there was candy embedded in everything. Ruana just made up for it with dinner.]

Most of those still here arrived around the same time, about a season after I did.

[Because referencing "months" is confusing in this context, he opts for a more relevant term.]
