RP > nostalgia strikes again

[ It is a relatively quiet day in the apartment of one Saga Laskaris- unless you were to wander into the kitchen. Then you would find all manner of things happening, dishes heaped up everywhere, and some very tantalizing smells coming from the sizzling skillets on the stove top. In the middle of it is Alabaster, in a simple t-shirt and jeans (and no shoes. Just socks), bustling back and forth, metallic arms zipping everywhere. ]

There, you see? [ looking triumphantly down at Duff ] I told you he'd learn eventually. [ there is a skeptical and very drawn-out MEEEEEW to that, earning the cat a sigh. ]

You say that like being stubborn is a bad thing. [ a pause, in which she realizes what he's doing ] Hey, Alabaster, I can handle the dishes.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

You're obviously intent on those notes. It's no trouble.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

I can read them at any time. [ sweet smile ] It's no trouble.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I see no reason for you to clean up my messes- the oil on your carpet should make you exempt.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

You're going to spoil me, and that's the last thing you'll w--

[ oh hello rune pain how lovely to see you ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ REMEMBERS THAT LOOK- quickly abandons what he's doing and moves to her side ]

Saga?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ holding her head very tightly and squeezing her eyes shut and dammit why does this never get any easier ]

... 'm okay.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ is still not really sure what to do here so he just kind of... hovers over her. A little awkwardly. ]

Is it a rune?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ nodding slowly-- this would be a little awkward for her, too, were she not focused on other things. ]

Isa.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ no idea what that means \o/ ] Close?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ you'll find out-- for the time being, just nodding again and pushing herself up ] Block... or so.

[ dashes into the other room to retrieve his jacket- ready when you are! ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ ... so much for talking him out of it. Will be snagging her jacket and making her way towards the door while he prepares. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ slips his jacket on and follows o/ ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ passes him a glance as her walking gradually becomes less wobbly ]

You don't have to come, you know.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I know. [ but he's coming anyway :| ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ well, she tried. ]

Stay on your guard. Isa is one of the more powerful runes, and it won't be merciful.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Duly noted.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ good. Because that patch of ice you just walked past? It will be snagging your feet now. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Ah-! [ dfskjhdfs there is an awkward moment of flailing as he tries to catch his balance- and then his mechanical limbs are shooting from his sleeves and hacking away at the ice ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Alab--?! [ starting towards him, but a nearby puddle of water is going to rise up and more or less engulf her, while the original patch of ice is stubbornly attempting to work its way up his legs ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ it's a good thing he has a lot of chisels- they're working fast to get that ice away enough so he can break free ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ drowning isn't fun in freezing water, but she's managing to painstakingly etch out another rune. Enjoy the fire circling around your legs to help you out with that, Alabaster. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ HEY THANKS. And now he's breaking free and going to try and pull her out of there?? ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ and he's succeeding, which is good timing, since the struggles are a little feeble now.

That, and the ice patch is forming into a giant anaconda. ]
