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.

Not that strange, really. You want one when you need it, but not to have it in all the time. Suzi's player understands entirely. "N-n-need t-t-to f-f-fix it." She pokes the cellphone he gave her again, nearly violently. That? That is not a present. That's an attempt at pacification.

"We will. We've got to." April nods and glances at the phone. "Do those things even work here? Matt was complaining about how his had stopped." She shakes her head. "Though I don't know if he'd even HAD one before all this started."

"W-w-whistler b-b-built a t-t-tower?" She has no idea. She pokes the on button and gets...

full service.

April gives a low whistle. "I'll bet it only works for other phones in the bar, but... daaaaamn."

Said in a tone that would make Collins proud.

"H-h-he's...even c-c-crazy h-he's a g-g-genius." She says proudly, then frowns and pokes at the phone, "B-b-but I w-w-want m-my s-s-sm-mar, s-sex-xy, k-k-kink-ky g-genius b-b-back."

April giggles a little. "Sexy and kinky, huh?" she asks. She pulls the braids back to meet at the back of Suzi's head and braids the tails together into one braid.

The typist has done this before. It's very pretty.

With rather a lot of stuttering, but no shame at all, Suzi offers suggestions of activites requiring a bathtub, Devon cream, a non-skid rubber mat, and a triangle of silk exactly half the diameter of one of the participants. If anything she sounds wistful...she'd like to be doing that one again, thank you.

It is a lovely hairstyle!

"Yes, most definitely sexy and kinky." April grins a little. "I'll have to try that some time."

Mmmm, Boromir and Devon cream...

"Uh huh." She misses him. During the recitation with the effects of fosbine in rum, someone doing her hair, and remembering one of her favorite bits of last week, her voice dropped low and most (not all) of the stutter disappeared, "H-he's lovely."

April smiles softly to herself. "I know what you mean." she murmurs.

She closes Ray's book carefully, his warning about the pages is very firm in her mind, and then she sets it aside so that she can cover her eyes with her hands and cry.

Well, this is a situation that calls for hugs, certainly.

April wraps her arms around Suzi and holds her. "Hey... it's gonna be okay. We're gonna fix this. We are. He'll be okay..."

Re: Blanket Fort!

she manages after a while, leaning heavily on April and clinging to her in return.

Re: Blanket Fort!

"I know you do." April says soothingly. "We'll fix it. You'll have him back before you know it."

Maybe not that quickly, but... well, there are some things you've just got to say.

She wants to be soothed. She does, but its hard. She's never been in love before.

Its bad enough when someone leaves you because they don't love you anymore. This? This is ten times worse.

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April can only imagine.

It's probably even worse, in a way, than having the person you love kill themselves and leave you behind. Not that April knows that feeling either. She was on the other side of that one.

She cuddles her, though. "It's gonna be okay. You're both gonna be okay..." It's a mantra, just repeating it softly in hopes that saying it will help it come true.

Eventually she'll have to leave the blanket fort and search him out to try to break him out. Eventually. Right now? She clings.

And smells rather like a barrel of rum.

Re: Blanket Fort!

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

April can understand that. The rum and the clinging. And she is perfectly fine with being clung to.

It's partially because she's nice that way and partially because she's remembering how many people have held her when she needed it.
