( 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.

Oh. [ He probably moves his hand to maybe try it indeed but-

Pause. ]


But perhaps it would be better to see if the agriculture wing has raspberries for you to try instead.

[ But would it be safe to go there alone? ]

[DELAY DELAY]

Isn't that where all of the monsters came from though?

I'll protect you if you want to go there for real raspberries, Rosette.

[Now.... now she's torn.

That's really knightly. How do you even deal with full blown Romanticism???

How is this fair?]


... And strawberries?

Even strawberries. Or anything else they might have there.

[ you basically have to be a jerk like Yuri to be immune... sometimes. :'D ]
soul_sister: (A little to the right. Yeah by the couch)

[While she IS a jerk, she fails short of the true mastery Yuri has achieved.]

... OKAY AFTER THIS. I bet we could find sugar too.

[Giving up on her bullying, she lets go of Flynn and settles into a crosslegged pose in the grass.]
srslynotguy: (♣♣ juuust as planned)

[personal profile] srslynotguy 2013-11-29 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose...

[ But isn't the agricultural area for planted things?

And hah! Yeah! Yuri is master of jerkitude! ]
soul_sister: (Friendly conversation)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-11-29 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She was planning a kitchen raid, but those little details can be worked out later, after all.]

We'll figure it out!

Do you want to make anything specific, Rosette?

[ Sugar... berries... pie?! ]
soul_sister: (THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT)

AHAHAHAH JUST STRAWBERRIES SHOULD BE FINE.
