#18 [action] - preparations

[littlestdevil]

[Outside of her library work and up until recently her weekly trips to the lake, Koakuma has been staying fairly-quiet recently, generally remaining out of everyone's way

Evening!

[1week_wizard]

-Patchy's all bundled up on her bed with several books about. They all seem to be on sealing. And fairies.-

[littlestdevil]

[And in comes Koa with her pile of winter clothes and a handful of other little things she picked up while she was out. Among those other things are books she grabbed during her short stay at the library, some odds and ends from the item store, and-

And she stops when she recognizes some of those particular books you've got there. You know which ones.]

Um...Patchouli?

[1week_wizard]

... Ah. You're back.

It's been decided that the best means of dealing with the fairy is creating a seal to keep her from freezing the lake year round out of spite.

[littlestdevil]

[Spoken while putting some of this new stuff away:] You don't really need to go out of the way like this...I-I can find something else to do in my free time.

[Now she's plugging something into one of those wall outlets.]

[1week_wizard]

It's the principle of the thing. That lake is as much yours as anyone's. It's not fair for her to monopolize it.

[littlestdevil]

[Behold: SPACE HEATER.]

But then what happens to her if something happened where she would need her powers? [Hmm...wait, Patchy probably already put that into consideration, actually...] Or would it only be a partial seal?

[1week_wizard]

... I haven't a single bloody idea what to do with it. That fairy's spiritual power fluctuates wildly to extreme degrees. I'm not certain how to approach this.

... Is that a new heater?

[littlestdevil]

U-um...yes. I thought I would go and pick up a few things to get ready for the season. [Because one, she's generally hated the cold ever since her arrival at Luceti nearly ten months ago, and two, she wants to reduce the chances of Patchouli getting sick.]

[1week_wizard]

Mm... That was rather thoughtful of you.

[littlestdevil]

[Koa pokes around at her nose, of all things, for a moment before responding...is that a cotton ball she's got in there?] I-I like to try, you know that.

[1week_wizard]

... What are you doing?

[littlestdevil]

Oh, um...cotton ball. [She points it out.] I wasn't paying attention when I came back inside and...kind of tripped on Charlotte's brass elephant and landed on my face. I wouldn't worry much about it, I-I mean she did check to see if I was okay...

[1week_wizard]

-Did you tell her not to worry? Because she's worrying.-

[littlestdevil]

[Aw, Patchy, don't give her that look.]

R-really, I'm fine.

[1week_wizard]

Let me have a look, please.

[littlestdevil]

[Pulling that cotton ball out for a second...it's pretty clear that Koa got at least a minor nosebleed from that aforementioned trip. This probably isn't even her first one, given her history of...well, kind of being a klutz.]
