35th lollipop - Explaining away the Weekend

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[The sound of a few things breaking, or being pushed over, then the journal pages being wiped off. There's dust on this page, and smudges of heavier dirt.]

There you are.

Ah... can someone give me a hand? I'm kind of barricaded in my shop basement.

This is why you don't do construction yourself.


[ooc: Since I had IC plans this weekend and missed them due to being kind of sick, Spanner's going to have been stuck in his basement all weekend via things collapsing in various places including in front of the door.]

What are you doing barricaded in your basement?!

[as if it's your fault. he's just a little hurt]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

Barricaded as in part of the walls collapsed. Because I'm apparently not very good at putting them together.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

...wait, you're trapped?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

...yes, Gino.

1/2

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[this is the sound of a Knight deflating.]

no 2/3 lolz

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[only not.]

Well what would you go and do that for--?!

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[...okay just gets up to and fetch him. AND BRINGS THE DOG]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

Because I liked this building, that's why.

Next time I'm hiring a contractor.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you should do that.

Are you okay?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

Just... really hungry.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Well, we'll get you dinner after you're out of there.

[busy digging his way through the mess while Ratchet just goes around chewing up everything in sight]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[So perked up when he hears Gino out there~]

I've got this side of the door cleared already.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Good! Then you-- [shoves his weight into the door. and probably sends what's left of it flying. then stumbles forward]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[Fortunately Spanner's smart enough to stand back and not get hit by pieces of falling door. But this also means he isn't there to keep Gino from falling, so he's pretty glad that he didn't. There's some broken glass on the floor and that might hurt.]

...Hi.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[sways back and forth, pinwheeling his arms... then turns and shoots him a Gino salute™ and a beam]

Hi!

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[D'aww Gino's so cute when he smiles. ;w; SO Spanner smiles back, though he's all dusty and a bit scraped up.]

Thanks.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[aw, Spanner's cute when he smiles, too. offers him, er, his handkerchief because that's extremely effective]

No problem. You've been here all weekend long?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[well, it gets the dirt mostly off of his face anyway.]

Yeah. I had water with me, but... it's been dark and boring. And...

I'd had Valentine's plans.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Well, you--

[pauses to gawk]

...you did?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

It was supposed to be a surprise. For you.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

...well, I'm still surprised.

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

...The presents are under the bed in our room.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[!!!]

Presents?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

Presents. You can open them late, I'm sure.

[Goes to walk past Gino and head for home, but as he hasn't eaten in a couple of days he's kind of weak and dizzy, and instead ends up stumbling right into the door-frame and falling onto his behind.]

...ow.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[...noice, Spanner. so very impressive. unfortunately Gino was a little busy derping over there being presents and has to scramble after Spanner when he falls down. tugs him back up! just in time to have Ratchet come bounding over with something... probably important or dangerous in his mouth]

You okay?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[Leans back on Gino a bit, pressing one hand to his forehead and reaching out with the other one so Ratchet can hand him the slobber-covered piece of an engine.]

Yeah. Just a bit undernourished. And maybe a little dehydrated.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Then you need to eat right away.

[thinks for a moment, then just sweeps Spanner right off his feet and hefts him up into his arms.]

There. No more falling! [and off they go]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[At first it feels like he's falling again, so he reflexively clings to Gino. But then he's picked up and instead he just gives him a very unamused face.]

I'll embarrass you later. Just wait.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[oh ho ho. if he wasn't so busy watching where he's going in this mess, he'd stick his tongue out or some other semi-rude commoner gesture]

Is that a threat or a promise-?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

...both.

[And if he didn't know he probably can't walk all the way back to the castle, he'd make Gino put him down.]

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it.

[prances walks back to the Castle like a normal person honest, humming away and promptly not tripping on the dog. takes Spanner straight to the kitchen and sets him on a chair]

So what'll it be-?

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

...I could really go for a parfait right now, but considering that it'd probably taste like bleach or something here, I'll go for anything with meat in it.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Something with meat, huh.

[has decided on the perfect lunch for the two of them then, and what's even better is it something he can make himself. to the fridge!]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[Sits and watches because, hey. He doesn't really mind being the one waited on for once. |D]

What are you getting?

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

Only the best food to ever exist that I've seen so far!

[emerges with his findings: a package of ballpark franks. hell yes.]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[Snorts. Oh, Gino. You're so special.]

That works.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[yeah, especially since I don't think hot dogs actually qualify as meat, but oh well. goes to butter a pan and put a couple franks in it!]

Good!

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

[sits for a bit, then decides he's fine enough to get up and wash his hands. Because damn, he's kind of all dirty and they need it. D: And it's irresistible to flick cold water at the back of Gino's neck while he's at it.]

Don't jump.

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

[doesn't just jump. he... leaps. if he wasn't so big he might of sprung right onto the lit stove]

Haaah!

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

I said not to jump.

[Grins and leans back against the counter. Got ya there, Gino~ |D]

[commonerstyle.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to do that when you're putting cold water on me?

[shakes his head and makes a face at him]

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

The whole idea is to make you jump when you're trying not to.

It's called a joke, Gino.
