no running in the halls!

[moonstrualcycle]

[hot off the presses, this one, horrendous new clothes and all. wherever it is in the DR's apartment building that Lea's chosen to roost, that's where Isa's getting yeeted catapulted, quite literally. at least it had the decency to drop her outside the apartment, right? enjoy the distinct sound of someone colliding hard with the wall next to the door and crumpling into a groaning mess on the floor. there's sand on her shoes, and a familiar frisbee came with her, dropped a short distance from where she landed. knock knock, Lea.]

Comments

[moonstrualcycle]

[that's certainly true. Isa's just going to rest her head on her arms until the coffee's ready, she's groggy still. at least she can do that here and doesn't have to keep up appearances anymore. she'll probably have war flashbacks if she sees a clipboard, now that things are normal again.]

[cinderlea]

[ Probably. It won't be more than a couple minutes, and Lea will even fix up the coffee for her before setting the mug down in front of her arms. ]

What all do you want to see?

[moonstrualcycle]

[thank 4 coffee, u da best. time to slam back like half the mug at once.]

Hm. You mentioned weird rooms, last night, I-- Do I want to know what kind of weird?

[are we talking like, Demyx would consider them weird, or Xigbar would consider them weird.]

[cinderlea]

There's an alien tentacle room that wants to put it in you.

[ She stares over her mug, sipping her coffee delicately. Okay, that's on the extreme end, but she asked about weird and she got weird. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[Xigbar levels of weird, okay. Demyx would probably find tentacles normal, lbr. Isa just stares at her for a few seconds, but doesn't go as red as she probably would have if she was completely awake, and hadn't asked, also.]

Wh... why? How does that even-- no, don't answer that.

[cinderlea]

[ She could explain, but it would be a shot in the dark. Who knows how, or why, or what kind of effect it has. She has not been in there. ]

There also rooms that are just voids, rooms that are words, rooms that do weird shit to you or simulate things, rooms full of clothes, rooms full of potions...

[ Wait. ]

Not the health kind of potion. The "you're going to have animal parts now" kind of potion.

[moonstrualcycle]

[man, what if they find cupcakes while they're out. that sure would suck, huh. or some of Riku's brownies.]

...that doesn't sound so bad. Would depend on the parts, I guess. A clothing room should definitely be on the list, but that's not exactly fun or interesting.

[cinderlea]

I had feathers last time.

[ Lea would be suspicious. She knows about The Brownies. ]

Food, then exploring, then clothes.

[moonstrualcycle]

[no just think of it, they encounter brownies, and Lea looks up at the skybox control booth and the Silent Hill dog gives her the thumbs up through the window.]

You would. Did they match your hair?

[cinderlea]

[ The best part is that no one would believe her ]

Yeah! They were red with all these vibrant colors underneath. Almost made me want to dye my hair.

[ She was a Macaw, but she's forgotten the name of it. ]

I wonder what would happen to you.

[moonstrualcycle]

[a parrot, of course. Lea gets a big old eyeroll while Isa sips more coffee.]

Probably nothing that interesting. At least there's no way something like that could backfire, since I don't have any animal phobias.

[clearly this should be a stop today, because yeah.]

[cinderlea]

[ What did you think it would be, something quiet? Hell yes potion room. ]

How much food do you want to bet on a wolf?

[moonstrualcycle]

[no just that ideally it would be something flashy OR loud, not both. and watch, now it'll do something less obvious for Isa that's still a critique on some part of her personality, like a porcupine.]

Ugh. No point in betting on a sure thing.

[cinderlea]

Might not be, we don't know.

[ She's just pretty sure. Almost 100%. What does she have to lose, food? Bah. ]

When do you wanna go?

[moonstrualcycle]

I just need to sort my hair out and put real pants back on, then we can go.

[Isa's hair is serious business, you know. that hairflip in KH2 wasn't for nothing.]

[cinderlea]

That's pretty fast. Take your time.

[ Even if she doesn't, Lea will grab a handful of cheese cubes from the fridge and start heading to the bedroom to get changed. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[are you me, Lea, that sounds like something i would do. if Lea's headed that way then Isa will go deal with her hair first so there's no awkwardness. eventually they'll have to address things like kissing and changing in front of each other, and knowing these two it'll either be five minutes from now or in two weeks.]

[cinderlea]

[ Queer culture is eating cheese cubes directly. Also it's gonna be sooner than you think, but Lea at least put pants on. It's not like it takes her long, though, so once she's dressed (in the same clothes as last time) she heads over to the bathroom and leans against the frame. Is the door open or closed? ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[i mean i just grab a slice of cheese or a hotdog out of the package in the fridge if i need a snack, so yeah. door's open, and Isa's attempting to unsnarl a tangle worthy of Lea's hair, glowering at it sidelong in the mirror.]

I used your toothbrush, I have to remember to get one of my own along with clothing.

[in this house we share germs like real friends do.]

[cinderlea]

I'll remind you, not that it bothers me much. It's not like it's far off from kissing.

[ Yes. She's bringing it up now. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

And it's not like you haven't borrowed mine before.

[now you're getting the grumpy face, Lea, but she's gone slightly pink as well, so good job.]

[cinderlea]

Well yeah, but I didn't tell you.

[ Lea that's gross. ]

Are you blushing?

[moonstrualcycle]

[oh my god, a twofer. and then Riku heard a lot of bad noises and came in to check and Lea was dead on the floor of her own apartment.]

Do you really want to find out if I can still berserk with my heart back? Because it seems like you do.

[seriously, if it'd just been one of the things, maybe. the tangle in her hair has given up and unknotted itself out of fear.]

[cinderlea]

[ Lul this is hilarious. She's not looking at Isa anymore though, and is instead staring down at the carpet. ]

No thanks. Sounds like I've got enough of getting my ass kicked in the future.

[ She's resigned, or something. ]

When do you wanna do it again?

[moonstrualcycle]

[dick. Isa just stares for a second, because what? do what again, kick Lea's ass? oh. she's still pink under the bottom edges of her scar, which just makes it stand out more.]

Never, at the rate you're going.

[grumble grumble. this is a bluff though, this would actually be the perfect time.]
