Nope's Peak round 2 day 6: DATE with Sudoh

[flamingprick]

[Okay, this date is going to be a tough one, because how the hell do you go on a date in the nurse's office? Unless one of them is being nursed back to health, he's not even sure what to do. But he doesn't want it to be a crappy date either, Sudoh is his friend and he deserves a good date.]

You got any ideas here?

[Sudoh DOES actually seem pretty under the weather, visibly pale and tired and moving in a more measured way, like he has to put effort into every movement.]

Not... Really? Nurse's office is great if you're deep into the sexy roleplay part of a relationship, but that's pretty advanced.

[flamingprick]

[Damn. Too bad this date isn'the with Allen, he'd probably look good in a nurse outfit.]

Yeah let's skip that. You look like you need a nap anyway.

[dismemberthename]

[he WOULD]

Everyone's saying that... I can only eat and nap so much.

[flamingprick]

If you're eating and napping a lot, then how come you're still tired?

[dismemberthename]

[waves. a hand. vaguely.]

Some bullshit. It's a lot to get into, but I'll be fine, so don't worry.

[flamingprick]

...

You're not some kinda vampire, are you? Because if you are, we're friends and I don't mind sharing blood or energy or whatever.

[dismemberthename]

[laughs, but gentle instead of mean.]

If I am, I'm one that doesn't know how to eat.

[flamingprick]

I told you already, blood or energy!

[He's teasing now.]

[dismemberthename]

Blood definitely doesn't do it for me.

[flamingprick]

It must be energy, then. I can give you some of my fire maybe?

[dismemberthename]

I don't... know if that'll work?

[this is weirdly in the realm of jokes but also kind of serious and help]

[flamingprick]

Well we can try at least, right?

[OH LOOK he's holding up his hands and THERE IS FIRE THERE NOW

Just a little bit though. It's also blue.]

[dismemberthename]

I guess...

[That sure is blue fire. Sudoh only pauses at the sight of it for a moment, though, clearly not too bothered by suddenly fire on his friend.]

Should I just...?

[Reaching to... Cup his hands under it?? As if to pick it up.]

[flamingprick]

Yeah, go ahead and touch it. It won't burn you.

[As if Rin would let his fire burn his friends.]

[dismemberthename]

I was already pretty sure of that part. You're way too sweet not to warn a guy if he's about to stick his hands in actual burny fire.

[Trying to pick it up as if holding water in his hands tho.]

Really not sure what to do with it, though...

[flamingprick]

Exactly.

[The fire will spread to his hands pretty easily. It's not a lot, but it feels warm and comforting, like curling up with a warm blanket right out of the dryer. It probably won't give him any energy, but it's pleasantly warm at least.]

[dismemberthename]

[Sudoh cradles the little flame to his chest, expression shifting from a little unsure to extremely fond. He can tell, now, that he's not equipped to take whatever Rin is trying to give him, but he can appreciate the warmth, at least.]

... Looks like I can't. But, thanks.

[flamingprick]

[It's too bad, Rin was hoping he could help.]

Ah well. It was worth a try.

[The fire will dissipate after a few more seconds.]

Guess you'll just have to take it easy.

[dismemberthename]

It was a better idea than any I've had.

[Reaching to pat Rin's shoulder.]

Guess I will. Yuck. I'm not really a take it easy sort of person...

[flamingprick]

It's alright. We could spend this date just sitting around and talking.

[dismemberthename]

Cute hangouts, huh? A bold strategy, let's see how it pays off.

[flamingprick]

Alright!

[He'll sit down in one of the chairs there, then!]

So...what's up with you?

[dismemberthename]

[settles in a chair beside him]

In general? Or what's up with all this?

[flamingprick]

Either or. Whatever you feel comfortable answering.

[dismemberthename]

Things have been pretty good in general. I like it here, mostly. The people are nice, even if the situation sucks.

[Folds his hands in his lap, a little anxious but going for it.]

This isn't my body.
