[ There is an Alabaster sitting in the living room of a certain apartment. He's set up a small table, and he has the pieces of a pocket watch scattered around on top of it. Mechanical arms are carefully moving the pieces into place.

Alabaster himself is wearing a rather ridiculous pair of goggles- he is from a land of steampunk tech after all, but hey, they have a magnifying glass on them ]

[ There is a sleepy-looking Saga wandering out and staring for a moment at the sight ]

... There is a mad scientist in my living room. I think I had a dream like this once.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ glances up. With those goggles, the effect is either horrifying or hilarious ]

Beg pardon?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ doing an abrupt about-face ] That's it, I'm still dreaming.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

What? What's the matter?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

You've been taken possession of by the most ridiculous pair of goggles I've ever seen.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

These? [ takes them off and examines them ] Would you believe they're relatively tame by Whitechapel standards?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... I'm afraid to ask what isn't.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Mm. Imagine these with a dozen more lenses that served half a dozen different functions, and you may get close.

Good morning, by the way.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Got it. By all means, stick with those.

[ rubbing an eye and then flashing him a smile ] Morning!

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ The mechanical arms very carefully abandon their work, and fold up against his own arms as he stands ] Don't worry. It's not often I bring work home.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't mind. It's kind of interesting to watch.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Even with the ridiculous goggles?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Makes for great entertainment.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

How very sweet of you. Shall I juggle next?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

If you can do it with only two arms, I won't consider that cheating.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure about juggling, but there are a few things I can do with only two arms. [ like wrap them around her, like he's doing right now ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ and very happily returning the favor ] I might be biased, but personally, I'd take this over juggling any day.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

As would I.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ that gets a grin, although she's burying her face in his shirt, so he probably won't see it anyway ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he's content to just run his fingers through her hair for a little while before asking: ]

... Are you hungry?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... Does saying yes mean letting you go?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

While I am a good multitasker, I doubt I can cook and hold you at the same time.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

There's always piggybacking.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... While I cook?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I make a great backpack.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Mm. I suppose cooking can wait in favor of more of this.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I approve of this plan. Glad you thought of it.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Then, please, let me know what you think of this. [ smooch :3 ]
