[summer is in full swing! which means the temperature has officially climbed into ice-cream-melting, fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk, OH GOD WHY IS IT SO HOT range. cicadas can be heard shrilling loudly all over the DR, and heat shimmer is radiating from nearly every flat surface

...though anyone can tag her, natch

[sinnedforme]

[approaching Kaito]

Sapporo is not nearly this fucking bad in the Summer.

[was_no_miracle]

[looking up at her, blearily]

...I don't think anywhere is as bad as this. ...Don't remember it being like this last year, though...

[sinnedforme]

I'm not really sure how it works for you... but you aren't in danger of overheating, are you?

[was_no_miracle]

[...looking slightly embarassed]

A-ah... I might be, if the error messages I've been getting whenever I try to move are any indication...

[sinnedforme]

Crap, Kaito. Should I get your father, or would iced water work? Or at least some place with AC...

[was_no_miracle]

...'d rather Father didn't find out about this. Ah... ice water? An icepack would help, too...

[sinnedforme]

I see, okay then.

[she will get Len if he crashes, of course]

Sure. Can do!

...Ice cream too?

[was_no_miracle]

[desperate puppy dog eyes ;o;]

...If you wouldn't mind?

[sinnedforme]

[geez, Kaito, cute much?]

Some things are universal, huh?

I'll be right back!

[and she heads off, she'll be back in about 20 minutes with the requested items, and a couple of chilled beers for herself]

[was_no_miracle]

[those were possibly the longest twenty minutes of my life. making feeble grabby hands at the water]

Meikooo...

[sinnedforme]

[okay, handing everything over at once-- and watching Kaito like a hawk. seriously, promise or no, you crash and Meiko gets the Doc]

Sorry, the cashier guy was a fucking idiot.

[was_no_miracle]

[technically, everything crashable's already gone :')]

S'all right... the heat's probably making a lot of people foolish.

[aaand chugging half the water in one go. the ice pack takes a bit more work- he has to wiggle enough to stick it up his shirt before flopping heavily back down on top of it]

-oof. Hopefully this'll work...

[sinnedforme]

[oh yeah, real reassuring. you are lucky Meiko doesn't know this, Kaito. :|]

Well, we are in danger of overheating and system crashing, and I think heat-stroke isn't all that much better for the humans.

I hope so too.

[and... handing over the ice-cream. surprise!]

[was_no_miracle]

[wryly] How fortunate I am to be susceptible to both.

-ah, thank you...

[...sticking the ice cream against his forehead first. mmm |)]

1/2

[sinnedforme]

That has to be pretty fucking rough...

[sinnedforme]

[aaaaah...]

...Should I get more cold things? Now?
