Chapter 2 | Shenanigans and dishwashers

Who: Angelo and Lloyd Irving.
Where: Yutopil Apartments, Floor One, Apartment Six.
When: Early Afternoon.
Style: First/Action.
Status: Closed.

[After all the adjusting Angelo did such as exploring every possible inch of Vatheon, moving into Lloyd's apartment with him, and at last settling in; he felt things weren't as bad as he initially thought. His days went by as normal and everything went swimmingly. However today was a completely different story as him and his new roommate were about to discover something neither of them had ever seen before -- the entity known as a dishwasher. But before that, Angelo is sitting at the kitchen table quietly reading a book he'd found at one of the shops while waiting for Lloyd to return from wherever he was and wondering if the other had possibly picked up some food for them to eat, as the former templar wasn't exactly the best cook in the world along with his stomach growling for food before while starving.]

[When food is offered for free at every restaurant and cafe, it's sometimes a little easy to forget to restock on groceries. Still, sometimes you just want to eat something without necessarily going out. Lloyd had been in the middle of a project and had just wanted something to munch on, only to discover the fridge was almost bare. With his stomach grumbling, there was no way he could concentrate.

Thus the shopping trip. He hadn't thought to tell Angelo where he was going. It hadn't seemed important, and he'd be back soon enough. Maybe an hour later, he comes in with several bags. He spots his roommate on the way to the kitchen.]


Oh, hey, Angelo.

[He lifts one hand awkwardly, then gives up on the greeting. Yeah, it's a little hard to do that when you're still caryying very full bags.]
redcladidealist: (Yes)

1/2

[Lloyd gratefully sets the rest of the bags on the floor fairly close to the fridge. It's times like this that he really misses the wingpack they got in Tethe'alla. He's hardly weak, but carrying that much food all the way back home had been tiring on his arms.]

Meat and potatoes, some bread. I got some milk and juice, too, and fruit and some vegetables.

[He stretches his arms out, loosening the muscles, then leans back against the counter for a moment, right in front of the door that hid what Lloyd had decided was a dish drying rack.]

Mostly stuff that's pretty easy to fix. I can cook okay, but I'm not the best at-

[The slightest shift in his stance made his backside press into the door. Something clicked and whirred to life.]
redcladidealist: (Oh geeze)

2/2

-complicated stuff-

[Whirrnnnn!!!

Lloyd nearly jumps out of his skin, whirling around.]


Wh-what was that?!
redcladidealist: (Gasp)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd hastily backs up, away from the "drying rack." Alarm races across his face.]

You think the drying rack is possessed?!

[He jumps again when the machine shifts gears, the noise of drawing in water changing to the noise of spinning machinery and heavy spray. The sounds only seem to punctuate his question.]

How do we get it unpossessed then?!
redcladidealist: (Hand on hilt)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-12 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd hears the serious tone in Angelo's voice, and he straightens up, his own startlement falling away to match that seriousness with his own. He isn't about to step aside if there's a real danger present.]

I can fight, too. We don't know what we're up against. It's better if we face it together.
redcladidealist: (I'm ready)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-14 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Angelo's never seen Lloyd fight before, so Lloyd tries not to take offense at that. His hand goes to the hilts of his swords, though, tightly gripping them.]

What if we both went at once? You any good at unison attacks?

[He's already drawing on his mana, concentrating.]

redcladidealist: (Time to get serious)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-16 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd starts in surprise at the sudden increase in his power - he can literally feel the strength coursing through his body. After a moment, however, he grins fiercely, drawing his swords.]

Unison attacks are just where two people combine both their powers or attack at the same time to make an extra strong attack. Whatever you did, I think that counts. Now, watch this! Demon Fang!

[In one fluid move, he slashes up, then down, letting his mana lash out in an extremely powerful shock wave. The mana races across the kitchen, tearing up tiles in its wake, then slams into the dishwasher.

Whhmm!

The explosion rocks the room, water spraying and sparks flying as smoke fills the air.]
redcladidealist: (Sigh)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-18 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd lowers his swords cautiously, searching the wreckage for any sign that the evil spirit might have survived. Nothing moves, though, except for a quickly spreading puddle of water. He grimaces.]

Yeah, looks like we did. That thing definitely picked the wrong guys to mess with - but I guess we're going to have to eat out for a while. I think I got the sink, too, so we won't be able to do dishes until I get that fixed.

[He's so used to having to do repairs on the house with just himself and his Dad that it doesn't occur to him to hire someone else, or speak to apartment management.]
redcladidealist: (Huh...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-19 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Determining that the threat is over, Lloyd sheaths his swords, then kneels down to look under the sink.]

First I better figure out how to turn the water off. I don't think there's anything you can do anyway, so...

[So, yeah. Probably better if Angelo stays out of the way.]
redcladidealist: (Quiet)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-21 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd's nose wrinkles a bit at the idea of reading for fun, but he's used to having friends who like to read, so he doesn't say anything.]

I'll try to make it fast.

[With that, he gets to work, familiarizing himself with the plumbing.]
redcladidealist: (Up at the stars)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-21 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Go ahead and eat any of the stuff I just got, if you want. I got some things you could probably eat without dishes.

[Half under the sink, his voice is muffled, and somewhat distracted. As soon as Angelo leaves, he'll concentrate fully on the task at hand.]
redcladidealist: (Eh?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-23 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... okay? What do you do at a casino?

[He's pretty sure he remembers someone saying there was a casino in Altamira, but he'd never gotten around to visiting it. It had been more important to look for Raine, and then after they'd found her, well, here he was.]
redcladidealist: (Default)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Having never done anything like what Angelos is describing before, some of the connotations of what he's suggesting slip by Lloyd.]

So, it's pretty much like a party, with lots of games and people to talk to? Sure, that sounds like fun!

[Unfortunately, it's time to poke his head back under the sink.]

I'll let you know when I'm done with this, then.
redcladidealist: (The biggest grin)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-07-24 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd grins, already excited.]

I'll look forward to it!

[With new enthusiasm for the job ahead, Lloyd starts back on the work under the sink.]


[ooc: That sounds like a good place to stop for now. We can throw up a new log when I get home from work. <3]
