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.

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.

Bazett Fraga McRemitz.

How much have you already stocked up?

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

A couple of blankets and some candles.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

Not much then. First off, we should go get food.

[She starts walking in the direction of the general store.]

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Do you think there's anything left? [Following.]

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

It's still early. I think we'll be able to at least grab something.

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

That's good. I'd hate to take too much though if people needed them.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

If people need them, you can always give them out again if they ask, right? Better to have too much than to have too little.

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Yes that is true. All right, we'll get as much as we can.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

Do you have anything to pack the items in?

[Bazett has a backpack. If it becomes full, then she will stuff things into her pockets and hold them in her arms. She wants to get as many supplies as she can in one go, seeing how future supply runs may yield less results.]

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

I've got a couple of bags. Hopefully that'll suffice.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. I would make more than one run to make sure that you get enough.

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, more runs sound like a better idea.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

First, the general store. Do you know where any of the other stores are?

[She has only been in the other stores once or twice, but she believes she can find them without getting too lost.]

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Nope. I just got here.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

Alright. I suppose I'll show you around to the other stores then. Right now, we're going to the general store. It sells food as well as other items.

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

All right, general store it is. How far is it?

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

Not that far. It should be one or two blocks from here.

[Providing they do not get lost or distracted.]

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

All right, sounds good.

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I would not have expected a child like you to think this far ahead.

[She expected human children to cling to their parents and leave the important matters to the adults. Mages were different, but children of mages also bore more responsiblities than regular human children.]

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

I'm just responsible like that.

[That, and if anyone saw her worry openly, it was the end of the world.]

Re: B

[answerer-sword.livejournal.com]

I hope you will remain responsible as you age.

[The world can always do with more responsible people.]

...I suppose you must be some sort of leader among the children back home.

Re: B

[tsunmuse.livejournal.com]

Not really. There's Souta but I don't really lead anyone anywhere.
