Second Suite♪

[tsunmuse]

1. 7134 Brooks Lane, Action, Late at Night

[Ako had enough. The large bed was too cold and she was shivering almost uncontrollably since the cold had settled in. Bundled up in a housecoat wasn't enough for her, even despite the size. It was time to suck up the dignity and do something she hadn't done since she was at least six.

Marching over towards the master bedroom and hoping to god that Marvelous and Ambrosia hadn't done anything else for heat -- hey she listened to Kanade's girlish fantasies before -- she pushed the door open and hopped up onto their bed, sleeping or not. And without preamble, dug herself into the sheets from the bottom up to worm beside her parents.

Dignity intact. Kind of. Unless they shove her out or something.]

2. Out in town earlier that morning

[Ako's in town, having bundled up incredibly in mittens, and a jacket and everything else. She was looking for some kind of supplies, candles, blankets, anything. But the stores were so incredibly bare of essentials.]

Seriously this is getting ridiculous. I get here and it's like a freezer. Worse than anything Kanon Town had gotten before.

[And this was from a girl who, close to winter, wore her usual outfit of suspender shorts and a long sleeved shirt. Reaching for a blanket that was very very high up, she wished for her boots. At least then, she could have reached it.]

3. Phone

Okay, I have to ask. Is this normal? Really? I don't think shutting down the power when it get this cold is anything but normal.

There's not a lot normal about this place. Why would it try to be otherwise?

Re: phone

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Clearly. But cutting the power? And getting colder than it should be at this time of year? Something's up.

[inhibits.livejournal.com]

They could want us all to freeze.

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Are you serious. They just brought us here to freeze.

[inhibits.livejournal.com]

What if they did? What are you going to do?

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Find blankets and work on not freezing.

[There's a lanky man having just left one of the stores in disgust, clearly irritated, when he hears Ako.]

No kidding. I don't believe this bullcrap. You think they'd at least have the stores keep stocked.

Certainly unprofessional. Like they wanted us to suffer. [A tired sigh] Lovely.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess they don't really care enough to think about comfort, otherwise they wouldn't have dragged us here in the first place.

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Seems about right. I'm not too concerned with myself but there's probably people who need these more.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

Well, if we're lucky someone'll think to find out what everyone has so we can take care of everyone but I seriously doubt it. Y'know, I don't even know why I said that. Of course they aren't.

From what I hear, this place is anything but normal.

Re: [phone]

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Starting to figure that out. With the weirdos that live here.

[The Black Mage jumps to mind.]

You're telling me. The other day I spoke to some idiot threatening mass murder...

Re: [phone]

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

That's not good.

What are you doing out here?

[Bazett, given the backpack slung over her shoulder, is obviously also looking to stock up on supplies.]

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a shop for things to stock up on.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

A smart choice. I'm doing the same thing. Do you want me to accompany you?

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Eh why not. I'm Ako Shirabe.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

Bazett Fraga McRemitz.

How much have you already stocked up?

[Marvelous shivered as he tried to get to sleep. This wasn't exactly too bad, it was just his shivering was keeping him awake. Even with his coat still on and getting as many layers on underneath the rest of his clothes while still looking presentable, he was still chattering away]

Just what in the world is going on?

[He then felt something squirm in behind him, making him jump a bit. He turned, expecting Ambrosia to have moved in her sleep in a strange manner, but found the kid in there instead.]

Hey! What the heck're you doing?

[He hissed, not wanting to wake anyone that he didn't have to]

Re: 1

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Trying to get some sleep in a warm place. My bed is freezing. [She's wiggling under the sheets.]

Re: 1

[sumofallreds.livejournal.com]

Warm? You call this icebox warm?

[Grimaces, since hes now fully awake and uncomfortable]

Re: 1

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Sharing body heat is the best way to keep warm.

Re: 1

[sumofallreds.livejournal.com]

This isn't sharing body heat. This is joining an already cold set of blankets and clothing.
