Hundred Fifth Explosion

[Action]

[OH and this is probably backdated to sometime in the earlier afternoon.

So Haruki has been in hiding since the end of the AU event. To be fair, he thinks he has good reason. What he doesn't suspect, or perhaps is still in denial about is the the other night... (which is a much longer thread in full and totally work safe and such if

[Arche, attracted by the scream like the proverbial moth to a flame, is just left... staring at the ice-sculpture that was once Haruki. She's gotta admit, she's pretty impressed.]

Wow... wonder who did this.

[skyborne_mage]

Yep, ice. I gotta assume there was magic involved, cause... yeah, I can't think of any other way that could possibly work in this heat.

[She shakes her head.] No, I really wasn't expecting to need one... But I can fly back to my house.

[offallingsnow]

You might need to. Haruki? Can you answer me? [or, more likely, can he concentrate enough to answer instead of babble? ...And if he's wearing the coat that's in his icons and he had the time to get wet from melting ice, then they'll need to get it off]

[god_is_a_dude]

[Nah he's not- it's summer, he had on a T-shirt and some jeans because he was in hiding. But he does... focus on her face - or try to - when he hears her voice. He just... sniffles a little.]

[skyborne_mage]

[She just stares at that sight for a moment.]

... I should go get that, shouldn't I?

[offallingsnow]

That would probably be best. ...A blanket might work better.

[will keep trying to get Haruki to say something coherent in the meantime]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...And now dully, his teeth still chattering he- ... well no that's a little gurgle-type thing but then he forces out-]

...It's cold.

[skyborne_mage]

Right. Blanket.

[And off she goes to get that blanket! She'll be back soon, talk amongst yourselves in the meantime.]

[offallingsnow]

[Sitting here in the heat of summer by a fire? Haruki is the only one who thinks so. But that's not very encouraging, she hopes Arche hurries back]

It will be, for a while.

[god_is_a_dude]

[...He's not sure if he's cold because of fear or because of the temp. But somehow even the fire doesn't feel as war as his brain tells him it should. Man This- but that- What happened. He sighs a little... trying not to panic more than he already is]

so um.../takes turn

[offallingsnow]

[He does look a little panicked. Nephry's worried, but there's no reason to let that through enough to worry Haruki, too.]

Just relax. I'm sure you'll warm up quickly.

sounds fair

[god_is_a_dude]

...Ri-right. [...And now here comes the teeth chattering. Oh God did that all really just happen? Oh man Oh man Oh Man Oh MAN...]

[offallingsnow]

[There isn't much else she can do. ...That's frustrating. A week ago she would have--]

Don't force yourself to talk.

[god_is_a_dude]

[He just... nods at that. He's not sure- okay so he got- he was frozen solid?]

[offallingsnow]

[She couldn't answer that one anyway. Right now a second set of memories is trying to force its way in and tell her what to do. She may look a bit distracted.]

[skyborne_mage]

[And it's at this moment that Arche returns! Carrying a blanket, and something else wrapped in a towel.]

Hey you two! Sorry it took so long, but I found a hot water bottle and thought it might help.

[She lands and holds both blanket and towel-wrapped hot water bottle out to Nephry, who should know what to do with them, she reasons.]
