Rude's Apartment, Edge, Thursday Afternoon

Reno had a bit of a dilemma, and he had today off by some miracle. And so, on his day off, he was going to attempt to fix it.

His living space since he'd moved in to Rude's apartment had become a little on the cramped side. Sure, it was more space than he'd had while he was living in the dorms on Fandom Island. But while he was in school, he hadn't been trying to cultivate greens, either. Unless one counted the green fuzz that sometimes grew on whatever he'd left sitting around, but that was a different thing entirely. As it stood, Reno was staring in bewilderment at the contents of Rude's living room.

Rude had set off for work today with a clearly stated mission for Reno to handle before he got back. He didn't care how he did it, just so long as it was done.

The clutter... would have to go.

So much easier said than done, when you were used to stockpiling whatever you could get your hands on, and you had people sending you care packages from all over creation. Nevermind the assorted bits he'd managed to gather with full intent to toss together a makeshift greenhouse in he future.

"Mako," Reno sighed, plucking the ferret out of his beans for the umpteeth time this afternoon, "I think this couch-surfin' shit ain't all it's made out to be, yo."

[NFB for distance, naturally, but open for the usual riffraff to give their phone calls and what-have-you!]

"Oh, I see," Ino said, actually amused, "you're just going to find the most annoying monsters and fling me at them and laugh aren't you? What sort of a host is that?"

Elena almost asked Why. She considered for a few moments, instead.

"Because of the sky?" she asked. "Rufus? Your girl? All of it?"

"I ... feel guilty, being here," she admitted. "Not like Edge is gonna go to hell without me, but ... I should be there, working."

She laughed, without much humor to it. "What do you think it'd take for Tseng to learn that?"
intraspective: (dorktastic)

She snickered. "Who did the naming of these things? Really 'cause I'm getting the image of a bouncing tub of lard. Ewwwww. Are they hard to kill?"
intraspective: (challenge me i dare you)

[personal profile] intraspective 2009-07-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Do they actually hurt people?" Ino asked idly. "Or do you just kill 'em 'cause they count as monsters?"
intraspective: (talking in class)

The idea of a bouncing tub of lard that spit fire was...

Well. The mental images alone were weird.

"Guess people try to stick where it's safe then?" Ino asked. "And take chances where they've got to? Imagine that leaves a lot of room for the monsters."

Something in that tugged at her heart. So she had to clear her throat and make light of it.

"Do you want the honors, or were you gonna leave that for me?"

"Isn't there a way to clean up the mako stuff?" Ino asked. "Since it's bad for people and stuff--maybe, I don't know, give it back to the planet?"

"Should've guessed," she teased. "I flake off to go on vacation, and I get stuck with the job no one else wants."
intraspective: (either way thoughtful)

"Can't you guys use, like, gasoline or something?" Ino checked. "Like, instead of mako? Does mako hurt the ground? I know it hurts people and if it's breeding monsters then probably hurts animals too."

"And it sends you to a coma, right, if you get--over loaded on it?" As Ino tried to parse what else he'd told her before into coherency.

She tugged at her hair.

"Volunteers maybe."
intraspective: (ooooh plotting)

[personal profile] intraspective 2009-07-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"What's mako addiction like?" Ino asked curiously. "'Cause coma and death don't sound much like one of those to me."

She hummed slightly, thinking.

"Did you ever try the thing with the seeds?"

"I wouldn't have pegged Rude as the bottom," she grinned.
