Blanket Fort - Room 32

[lvpd_sidle]

Courtesy of Collins, there is an abundant supply of food from the restaurant in Santa Fe.

There are cushions, blankets, and plenty of space in which to stretch out.

Outside the door is a sign: This is a Tofu-Free Zone.

And the door is unlocked.

Curling up under blankets is fun.

Especially with a good book.

Especially when that good book is an attempt to refresh every little memory you have about things your new boyfriend has done and said.

April has The Fellowship of the Ring, obviously.

Suzi has a bigger book. No, really, when you add in the magnifying glass needed to see the print it is a massive book. Just don't ask her the title, she can't even say the name of the subject right now. She's using a dorsal tentacle to turn the pages.

She still hasn't been attacked with a brush.

April glances over and tilts her head. "Hey, you want to comb your hair out?" she asks. "You've got a bit of an afro going on..."

Re: Blanket Fort!

"D-do y-you h-have a b-brush? Or c-comb?" She looks up, at that, mildly hopeful. If not, well. There is still a lot of Ray's Book to read hoping for a cure to present itself. "M-mine is in W-w-whistler's r-r-room. I d-d-don't w-want t-to g-go b-back there t-t-t-...y-yet."

Re: Blanket Fort!

"Yeah, I do." April nods and digs through her bag for a moment before producing a brush. "Whistler... oh, you must be Suzi." She smiles a bit. "Um... do you want me to do it? So you can keep reading?"

She feels really really bad for the poor girl.

Suzi beat up the Rivan Sorcerer King yesterday, and demolished a table. She's a little...off, yes. "Th-thank y-you. Y-y-yes, p-please. I am." And she can, maybe, be forgiven the tiny smile; "Usually th-the t-t-tent-t-tacles are th-th-the th-thing I'm k-known b-by."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April smiles a little and scoots over to sit behind her, carefully starting to comb through the mess of frizz. "I guess that'd be so. Except I just heard that you were seeing Whistler, so."

"So where're you from? Obviously not my world, I don't think people can have tentacles there."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

"N-north of N-n-new Orl-leans." She says, because its cheeky but true, "Ab-b-bout t-twent-ty eight hu-hund-dred s-sevent-ty e-eight y-years in W-w-whistler's f-f-future. Th-th-the y-y-year w-was f-f-fort-ty eight s-sevent-ty, when I c-came here." They might have tentacles by Suzi's time! Although she's not from the same Earth, not really. She's from Quinn's version.

She can sit really, really still; Sime are predators on the same level that they are symbionts. "I m-m-met W-w-whistler h-h-here." And she's going to get him back, shedorni everything!

"Oh, cool. I'm from New York City, 1996." April smiles a bit, still brushing. "Bet you're pretty anxious to get him back to normal, huh?"

Re: Blanket Fort!

"W-w-we l-l-live in S-san F-f-rancis-co, n-ninet-teen n-ninet-ty t-two." She says quietly, "I c-can't l-live w-with out h-him. N-n-n-ot b-b-being d-dramat-tic, either. W-w-we're s-symb-biot-tic, n-now."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

"Shit." April winces. "That must make this... really really hard. And yes, I know that's an understatement."

She finishes with the necessary brushing and keeps doing it.

Hey, it's relaxing to her. Maybe it will be, a teensy bit, for Suzi.

Re: Blanket Fort!

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes not having her hair capable of both being in her eyes and brushing the sides of a door at the same time is a nice feeling. April will find, as she fights the hair into submission, that it has the potential to be thick black spiral curls. Suzi won the genetic lottery, there.

"M-m-my W-w-whistler ch-ch-changed sp-p-pecies f-f-for m-me." And, really, that says it all. How can you beat that?

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April is silent for a moment. And rather envying the curls. But mostly thinking.

"He must really love you." she says softly. Then, a bit more determined. "We'll get him back for you. I promise."

Because she knows how much it hurts to lose the person you love. Even if it was her own fault.

"Having fun?" There is Collins. He comes bearing non-tofu food items!

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

"Brownies!"

Because apparently that's one of the non-tofu food items.

Collins gets mauled. Only not. "Yeah, I'm having fun. Oh good, they don't have frosting. I hear you talked to Boromir the other day."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[mitanarchist]

"Yeah. He passes and whoa, girl, I need my arm!"

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

"So I heard." she grins and kisses his cheek. "Sorry, I'll try not to take any appendages with me."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[mitanarchist]

"I and Angel will thank you for that." Hello, brat, it's been too long.

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

She sticks her tongue out. "Careful, or I'll take the one you both really do care about."

Threat of castration was common in the Loft.

"I'll just have to take my brownies back." Oooh, chocolate deprivation!

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April gasps. "You wouldn't dare!"

Re: Blanket Fort!

[mitanarchist]

"Nah, I really wouldn't. You know that." Collins = marshmallow where the girls in his life are concerned.

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April laughs and takes the brownies off his hands. "Yeah, I know. You're just a big teddy bear, Tom."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[mitanarchist]

"Don't tell anyone."

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April snickers and stage whispers: "I think everyone already knows."
