[ If the morning's trial hadn't been miserable enough … ]

[ Now it's raining! And it's still so foggy you can barely see your own feet. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[How does one do that.]

[May have been napping, sitting in a chair and half leaning against a wall near the pod.]

[bluediligence]

[ Her foot's back! Just like that! Wow ... and Dusk is - ]

[ She doesn't have the heart to wake him. Silently sits down on the floor nearby, giving him a little longer. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He does manage a few more minutes. But pod being off is a change in sounds and he eventually jerks away, sitting up straight and looking around.]

[bluediligence]

Ah, you're awake ... [ Waves from her place on the floor. ] Hey.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....why are you on the floor?

[bluediligence]

It's nice down here.

[ Hops up to her feet! Look! She's got two now! MULTIPLE FEET. PLURAL FEET. ]

Now come on, I've got something I want to show off.

[schrodingerscockroach]

If you say so.

[Looking at her hopping up and visibly relaxes.]

All right. You sure you're up for it?

1/2

[bluediligence]

Yup! I'm ... okay isn't the word for it? [ Nowhere close. ] I hate what happened, but I'm too exasperated to ... you know. [ gestures ]

[ gestures ]

Get worked up. And I've wanted you to see this since I got it.

[bluediligence]

So ...

[ She holds out a hand. ]

C'mon.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....nah, I can get that. I've had times like that.

[He'll take her hand.]

Lead the way then.

[bluediligence]

[ Leads the way! Towards ... Ginger's carriage? Hum. ]

Life's full of bullshit, huh? Ah, well. We can make the best of it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Following along]

I mean, that's pretty much any life.

Basically.

[bluediligence]

Hey, mine was okay until all of ... this.

[ she had it sssso good. comparatively. and while they're walking - ]

... You okay?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

You have something you want to show me. I'd rather see that.

[bluediligence]

Ah ... [ Squeezes his hand. ] Okay. Sure.

[ Into Ginger they go. ]

I hope you like it as much as I do. It's a lot of fun.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He is Having A Day.]

[But squeezes her hand back.]

Probably. We do seem to enjoy similar things.

[bluediligence]

That's because we've both got good taste. [ Nods sagely, playing down the Concern. ]

Annnnnnnd ... [ Grasps the handle of her bedroom door. ] TA-DA!

[ It's been upgraded into a grown-up jungle gym. The walls and 14' ceilings are covered in rock climbing courses of varying difficulties, save the areas instead taken up by large, sunny windows, and one corner. In that corner, the height of the room leaves space for a spacious loft of bookshelves and cozy leather furniture, as well as a coffee table made of a solid polished stone, like a giant river rock. The loft is accessible only via climbing -- either the nearby rock walls or the fireman's pole for quick descent. Below the loft is a double-bed in a cozy sleeping nook, covered in rock-shaped pillows and warm quilts. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

[Oooooh]

This. Is awesome.

[God, does he want the big open windows or would that be too much asleep? He doesn't know.]

[bluediligence]

Right?!

[ Lets go of his hand to twirl her way into the room. ]

I love the windows! And the loft is amazing, it's so comfy up there.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It does seem like a good little hang out hidey hole.

May I? [Gesturing to the climbing wall to go up.]

[bluediligence]

Go ahead!

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Gonna climb up and check out her cool loft library area thing.]

[bluediligence]

[ Scampers up after him. The loft sure is cool, and very comfortable - though she doesn't have many books just yet. ]

Wanna hang out up here for a while?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....yeah, that'd be nice.

[He needs some Peace and she's good at that.]

[bluediligence]

I could bring up some quilts and stuff, we could build a fort on the couch. Or we can just take it easy - your call.
