themainframe | Oh. My. God. ITS SNOWING! [ Video to Action ]

[ Roze's screen flips on, her ecstatic face filling the screen because if she isn't close, the rush of snow would obscure her from view. ]

ITS SNOWING!

LADY ROZE! I INSIST YOU COME BACK INSIDE!

SHADDAP!

[ Never had anyone heard her shriek in such young and girlish excitement. ]

I'M FREEZING MY TITS OFF BUT ITS SNOW!

LADY ROZE!

SHADDAP.

Oh my god I'm so excited! I'M SO HAPPY! Yesterday was horrible. TODAY IS MAGICAL! I love the snow. Jesus fucking Christ this is actually really cold... [ She looks off to the side, squinting against the wind, cheeks already ruddy from the wind and ice whipping across pale skin. ]

Oh for goodness sake. LADY ROZE!

Musashi, I will kill you.

[ When she looks back at the terminal her lashes are crusted with snowflakes. ]

I'm gonna go get a cute coat and some tights! Oh, but...okay! I'm gonna hit the cafeteria and rustle up them Damemon!

People.

PEOPLE!

Go outside and play if you love the snow. But I'm coming around door to door with delicious cold-weather treats.

Lemme know if you need any warmin' up. [ She chimes with a grin and brow waggle. ]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

*click*

About an hour and a half later, Roze started showing up to every apartment, one after the other, just like she said. A woman of her word, she'd gotten the Damemon to prep a simple and warm meal and treat.

Everyone got a tray laden with grilled cheese, tomato soup, cookies and peppermint stick hot cocoa. Everything was hot, steaming and fresh. Roze was wearing a thick, furry pink coat and black tights. She looked warm, and was, for whatever reason, absolutely tickled to be doing what she was doing.

Every apartment door was knocked upon and every person was served, who was interested.

She even managed to curse less, initially, pleased as she was by her endeavor. ]

I thought—

[ Impmon shoves his impish face onto the screen. ]

—What about the food?! Are there any sweet cold-weather treats?

[ Seifer shoves him aside. Ahem. ]

Yes! Mhm. I'm headed your way right now, if you guys are in. Everyone gets some. I have to go back and forth to the cafeteria, but its worth it. Everyone, Digimon included. so you guys can eat and stay warm for now,a dn when I'm done with everything, maybe we can play? [ She asked hopefully, cocking her head to the side. ]

That is if Brave Sir Almasy even knows how to play.

Yeah! He'll do it!

[ IMPMON HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET. ]

Play what? The "pummel you in the face with snowballs" game?

Well I mean if you wanna hit me in the face with your balls that...is...

That is not what I meant.

[ She stares blankly at the screen for a long moment, expressionless in the extreme. ]

Okay. So I know I can be pretty vulgar and have a shitty filter. But that is definitely not how I meant that to sound.

That was not cool.

[ Another beat and she clears her throat, blinking owlishly. Her ears have now exceeded pink and are too red to blend with her hair anymore. ]

Uh. I just meant building a snow fort. Snowman. Doing snow angels. Snow things. You know. GOOD CLEAN FUN.

*lip twitch*

[ GOT A THING AGAINST SNOWBALLS? Seifer groans and runs a hand through his hair. Is she serious? ]

I got what you meant. You didn't have to explain it.

[ Because the explanation is what made it awkward. ]

[ Awkward was the only thing she could manage between too nice and too aggressive. Geez Seifer. Ask for the MOON why don't you? So that silence stretched on for a bit longer than either of them were likely comfortable with. ]

Uh...I'm just gonna...come drop this stuff off.

[ She sighs, and he can catch her rolling her eyes skyward and cursing as she thumps the heel of her hand against her forehead before shutting off the D-T. A few minutes later, she's at the door, looking carefully mild. ]

[ No. The moon is full of monsters. When she gets there, it's Impmon who flings open the door. He seems torn between being excited to see her and excited for the sweets. So he throws out his arms so he can hop toward her and hug her tightly. Seifer's sitting on the couch, ankle resting on his knee, thumbing through a book. ]

Hi, Rozilocks!

Hey.

[ He gives her a short wave from his place on the couch. ]

Hey! [ She can't help but smile, reaching down and lifting Impmon up to hug properly. Granted he was briefly smothered, but only in the best of ways. Setting him back down, she peered in at Seifer, waving weakly in reply. ]

Hi...

[ And that was it, she supposed, looking around the hall awkwardly before picking up two plates and crossing the threshold to set them on the coffee-table. She returned a second time, for Impmon's plates, and set them down as well, then turned to leave.

Honestly, she had no idea what to say. Other than her boot tasted of bitter embarrassment. ]

Uh...well. enjoy. Hope you guys like it.

...

Hm.

Alright well...Bye...

[ Impmon has absolutely zero complaints. ]

You suddenly allergic to me? I know we've had a bunch'a rough patches lately, but you don't have to leave that fast.

Yeah, you don't gotta leave so soon!

[ She stops at the door, looking over her shoulder before turning and raising both hands, waving them slightly. ]

No! No no, nothing like that I just... You look busy and I uh...well I was...[ She points awkwardly at nothing in particular, gesturing with her hands emphatically. ]

You know. The thing. And I've been. Yeah, so...The...uh...

Haaa.

Book. Good one? [ Oh. So smooth. Unh. In it to win it, Roze. ]

Get your ass in here and start makin' sense, Princess.

[ He holds up the book. ]

And no, it's not.

[ But he had to read something. Sure, he may not be the avid reader Rinoa is, but he hasn't read a book in about five months. ]

[ She jumped visibly, brows lofting high as she started forward automatically and stood in front of the coffee-table, hands clasped behind her back. ]

Sorry. Maybe you oughta read somethin' better. I like A Book of Five Rings. Its...pretty much my favorite book. They...probably have it in the library...

[ She ran her tongue along the inside of her cheek, rocking on her feet lightly and casting her gaze to the side. ]

[ Seifer drops the book into his lap and sighs. ]

Doubt it. Squall and I combed through the entire library a few months back and didn't find anything interesting. I can't even read two-thirds of the books and I ain't about to sit here and have the pixie read 'em to me.

Well...I have it on my Ipod...[ She murmured, shrugging slightly. ]

If they can pull music off they should be able to get audiobooks and text files, right? I dunno if you can understand anything I have but my reading voice is okay, maybe.

Honestly I think you'd like it. Miyamoto Musashi was kind of a big deal in my history. I guess he was kind of like my country's version of a knight? We didn't have knights, exactly. We had samurai. They were pretty badass...

...You've got a point. There's gotta be audio books somewhere.

[ He frowns thoughtfully, drumming his fingers against his cheek. ]

You find it, I'll read it. Or... listen, or whatever. Depends on the format you manage to find it in, I guess.

[ That earned a slow smile and quick nod, Roze bowing quickly and offering a little half-cocked salute with a flick of her wrist. ]

Will do, Sir Almasy. Meanwhile...I should probably keep tuggin' along with the cart, right? I've got a lot of rooms to hit but I'll talk to Neku and see if he can pull stuff off my Ipod. I've even got some movies on there...could be a pretty good idea.

So...I'll see you later? For the snow, thing? [ She asked, looking at him side-long and tamping down on a too-big smile. ]

...Yeah, sure.

[ He looks her over. ]

Before you go, you sure nothin's up?

[ She pauses at the door, nails clacking on the door frame briefly as she drums them in thought. ]

There's always somethin' up. Usually nothin' worth talkin' about. Stay warm, Princess. [ She remarks, keeping her back to him as she closes the door, the sounds of the cart rattling down the hall. ]
