( open )

Date & Time: Several days after the necromorph outbreak

Summary: Lil bit of coping in-between zombie apocalypses and civil wars, nbd
Warnings: None! KEVIN AND BREAK
Notes: Feel free to tag around also! ♥


[ Chrono doesn't bother to close the door when he finally decides to try one of these rooms for himself. Something about the last few days (weeks) (months) has left him unwilling to stay in enclosed spaces too long, with no obvious path of exist. Too much like a lab or an undead-lined hallway.

But these concerns slowly melt away as he sets about instructing the AI, and the room gives way to a place that isn't a room at all.

Mountains rise up in the distance, framing a blue, clear sky, and a faint breeze rustles the treetops of a thick Michigan forest. Birdcalls ride that wind, and the air smells cleaner, fresher, than any moon base could reasonably boast. Where the blanket of trees ends, a large, glassy lake gleams in the sunlight. He takes care with this part—instructs the AI to make the water a temperature a bit too low to be entirely comfortable for swimming, knowing full well that this won't actually be a deterrent. But it wouldn't be right, otherwise.

He takes his time strolling from one familiar landmark to the next, having the computer make adjustments as necessary. He doesn't miss details, either; for all the times that Rosette brought him to this very place, his eyes had missed nothing. They were wide and all-absorbing, like someone who had been born anew and was discovering the world for the first time.

(Likely because, in all honesty, he had been.)

He stops once he circles back around to the open door—a black silhouette hanging oddly in the landscape, and the only giveaway that none of this is real. It's here that he surveys the scene as a whole, the sum of all its little memory-parts. ]


Perfect.

[ Well. There's still a thing or two missing. ]

... Almost.

[For a while, Rosette lets her, watching Maya's curious demeanor. When she announces her presence, it isn't with a hello or a wave. She simply drops a clumsily crafted flower crown on Maya's head.]
acemedium: how do i shot noodles (Food confuses me!)

[That is about the last thing she'd expect. She doesn't startle, but she does give a rather confused upside-down look at Rosette]

What's that for?
soul_sister: (You'll just have to see)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-11 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I made them.

I don't really have a much better reason than that.
acemedium: It's super effective?! (Maya used CUTE FACE (in hideous uniform))

[She reaches up to touch it then grins a little]

I didn't think that was your style, Rosette.

Do you have one too?

soul_sister: (CHU!)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-12 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a woman of many talents, after all.

Mm, not yet.
acemedium: seriously what the hell (what is this moeness going on over here)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-11-13 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well... you should make one.

Then we can match. [Presumably, since she can't actually see what she looks like with it on]
soul_sister: (Friendly conversation)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-14 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She grins brightly and nods.]

Help me pick the flowers?
acemedium: drops of jupiter bla bla bla bla (Insert Pearl Jam lyrics here)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-11-15 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, why not get an expert opinion? [Maya's not really a fan of flowers, but Rosette might like them.]

[She starts to climb to her feet, one hand at her head to make sure the thing didn't fall off]


Did you make this simulation thingy, too?
soul_sister: (We'll figure that out later)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-15 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs at that, waving her along towards a patch of wildflowers growing on a grassy ridge.]

No, Chrono did. I guess he'd been at it all day.
acemedium: IF EVERYONE CAREDDDDDDDDDDD they'd buy me things (insert Nickelback lyrics here)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-11-20 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Chrono did this, huh? He must have a pretty good memory.

[She pauses to take an appreciative look around the place and then goes back to following after Rosette]
soul_sister: (Just follow me)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-22 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She settles down, her bare feet swinging over the ridge idly as she picked flowers.]

We spent a lot of time here... so it makes sense.
acemedium: Never enough stupid jokes about Edgeworth walking (EDGEWORTH CAN WALK?!!?!)

also pretend this isn't a million years late

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-12-11 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Maya kneels for the moment instead of sitting, peering down over the ridge and around]

Wow, really? In a place like this?
