( 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.

No, you only tell her she looks nice when you think she does! You don't say anything otherwise!

Isn't that silence kind of telling?

[He doesn't know this stuff, okay?]

[Neither does she, REALLY, but that wont stop her from having an opinion on it.]

Not if you fill it with suave pleasantries instead.

Not my forte.

[He'll leave that to the Old Man.]

Thanks for the vote of confidence there...
soul_sister: (That's because I was there)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'll let you change my mind.
jailbreaks: (✦ trouble that way)

[personal profile] jailbreaks 2013-12-06 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
You're not sexy enough to hit on.

[Yuri -- expert at ruining moments.]
soul_sister: (Aggro)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can skip right to the hitting.

[personal profile] jailbreaks 2013-12-06 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you're a sadist. Kinda hot.
soul_sister: (THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!?!
jailbreaks: (✦ jealous of my pretty hair)

[personal profile] jailbreaks 2013-12-06 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, all the mentions of hitting, kicking... pretty sure you've pulled my hair a few times.

[He has to bite his tongue here and not mention bedroom antics...

There's so far he'll allow his trolling to go.]
soul_sister: (RESPECT MY AUTHORITY)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's punishment not..... THAT! CHASTE!
jailbreaks: (Default)

[personal profile] jailbreaks 2013-12-06 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not chaste? I always thought that was in the nun's protocol to be chaste.

[He shrugs.]

Oh well, not my place to judge.
soul_sister: (WARN ME FIRST)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-06 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[GOES TO YANK ON HIS HAIR.]

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
jailbreaks: (✦ ho boy)

[personal profile] jailbreaks 2013-12-07 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch....]

Better make sure who you say stuff like that around.
soul_sister: (Aggro)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-10 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You already know better!

Doesn't mean I'll follow that.

[Rose, you know he's a 12 year old in an adult's body, right? Even if he really is 22....]
