actual hobbit trash chrono ([personal profile] overclocking) wrote in [community profile] exsiliumlogs2013-11-10 10:15 am

( open )

Date & Time: Several days after the necromorph outbreak
Location: A VR room
Characters: Chrono + Rosette + open!
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.

[SERIOUSLY TO WORLD HOPPER.] ... No frog is a better queen than I am. GO GET EM.

[She sets the frog down on the slope and with a pat on the frog, yells GO!

It hops once and stares up at her.]

[Kevin gives Apple Butter a benign smile and she hops four times, stopping just before World Hopper to enjoy the nice and fresh breeze.]

Ah~ ~ Isn't she adorable?
soul_sister: (OOoooOOOOoooooh)

Go! Go! You're in the lead! Look at that pond filled with flies JUST OVER THERE.

[It doesn't move, placidly sitting in place.]
senseandcecilbility: (Happy thoughts)

[Apple Butter stares at World Hopper, then back at talking lady, then back at World Hopper, then she starts leisurely hopping towards the pond with her skinny legs.]

That is, Apple Butter. You are almost there!
soul_sister: (You have no proof)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-23 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[In the mean time, Rosette is trying to fan World Hopper as if it will cause him to suddenly decide to move.]

Don't let that tart get the best of you!
senseandcecilbility: (I have sinned)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-26 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[And now Apple Butter decides to turn around and go catch some flies.]

...I believe that is the wrong way.
soul_sister: (Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen)

[WHILE HE IS OTHERWISE OCCUPIED..... POKES WORLD HOPPER.]

[Cheating is a sin, and when an angel is involved...

Still, this innocent being of light and fretting is clapping his hands at Apple Butter, completely unaware of Rosette's misdeed. What would Sister Kate think?
]
soul_sister: (YES)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-28 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Lets be real, Sister Kate would have had her in a headlock and bending over for a suplex for making an angel gamble. She might not have survived to the actual cheating phase of this.]

GO GO!

YES!

[SPLASH! The disgruntled frog makes landing in the waters.]

Oh dear, you really won!

[So exited over her victory that he picks her up and twirls with her.]

Congratulations ~
soul_sister: (Like a song)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-01 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh! [The start of surprise breaks into laughter easy enough. She's... never had that done before that she could remember.]

You're celebrating too?
senseandcecilbility: (Happy thoughts)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-12-02 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[That is what she gets for having a partner who is actually shorter than her.

After a few more turns, Kevin carefully puts her down.
]

But of course! A friend's triumph is cause for celebration!

[She really can't help but laugh.]

You ARE crazy, you know.

And Apple Butter got her flies, so everyone won, isn't it so?
