October 15th, earlier morning; [0300ish] > Private to Yuri

[Cellphone]

S'early, I know. Can we talk?

October 15th, early morning; [0400]

[Action/Audio]

[Levi had happened to glance at the calendar on his way to his morning workout, and stopped short. October 15th? That meant... He swore low under his breath, for forgetting, before marching right up to the PA room. He remembered Yuri talking about this vaguely once, and he locks the door behind him. After a few tries getting it to work, he manages to hit the right button and begins;]

Hey fuckers, wake up. Emergency party planning in the mess hall ASAP.

Ichigo, you especially. We gotta bake a cake or some shit.

{ooc: The Party Log is up!}

I was running laps like you said-! [Realizing that speaking out of turn was probably a bad idea, he quickly stopped complaining, huffing in annoyance. It wasn't his fault he was running laps at four in the morning!]

Do you want me to change and then help, or..?

[violined]

[ Great, why did he get down for this again, wow. ]

Sooo....

[ Kohaku leans against the wall, raising his eyebrows and questioningly scanning the room. ]

And now you'll forcedly assign me to... what task exactly?

[mightletyouknowme]

Even if I'm generous, you'll definitely have to be nicer if you want me to help.

[She walks into the office.] The most important thing is that you have friends but everybody should know now. Why didn't you just make it a surprise for them?

[springcleaning]

I forgot about it yesterday. And it's still surprise, this thing don't broadcast to the houses.

I'm bein' nice.

[springcleaning]

Well I figure Ichigo's makin' the cake... so we should decorate or somethin'.

[springcleaning]

I fuckin' repeat, come down to the mess hall. It's an emergency.

[springcleaning]

Good. If you weren't, I'd be pissed.

Go clean up.

[springcleaning]

Nah I meant like... I dunno the fuckin' word-- makin' you imagine something that ain't there.

[springcleaning]

Ichigo!

[He's not just going to barge into her room..... yet....]

Wake. The Fuck. Up.

[mightletyouknowme]

Then you're not a complete idiot, even if you're pretty stupid if you think that's nice.

Anyway, we have a lot of cute things to get.

[tenminutes]

Why? What did you see?

[ Her voice gets a little more stern all of a sudden, like she hadn't even been sleeping. ]

[strawberrytart]

[ The word fuck isn't in her dreams, that's kind of weird...

She looks over at the door, eyes half lidded, and makes a kind of confused sound. ]

Hn..?

[springcleaning]

Cute things? The party's for a grown man.

[springcleaning]

One of my squad. She died, just before I got here.

[His tone is flat as always, giving nothing away.]

Showed up a couple weeks ago, and I only saw her once or twice.

Now she's gone again.

[springcleaning]

It's Levi. You gotta make a cake fast, it's an emergency.

[That's... way more ridiculous sounding than he thought it would be.]

[tsunball]

[ ...

God, he's trying to consider his chances here. Maybe he can go back and sleep just a little bit more, would he really notice.. Sure, he does recognize whose voice it is, but.. whatever, not like he's going to miss one more person! Even if he'd show up, he can just tell Levi he's sick or whatever. If it really was an "emergency" there'd be a fire alarm or something, so..

He grabs his phone, sending a short text to Levi. ]

srry im sick call me if theres a fire or w/e

[tenminutes]

Chances are she was probably actually here. There have been people here before who came and disappeared. I don't exactly understand it but.. there have been previous members of the SSS who have shown up too. Chances are that your squad member found a way to accept her life and move on.

[strawberrytart]

[ That wakes her up!!! At least a little bit. She rushes to the door, looking fiercely determined for being in a pink, fluffy nightgown with her hair in pigtails. ]

What do we need a cake for?

[springcleaning]

[BLARING FROM THE PA SYSTEM]

Get out of bed you lazy fuck, I won't tolerate this kind of shit.

[springcleaning]

But I told her she could stay with us, and shit... and she didn't seem real happy at all.

I mean, Petra always seems fuckin' happy but I know her better than that.







I can't see her leavin' just like that.

[springcleaning]

[Tiny girl in cute pajamas. Good thing Levi's Stone Cold or he may have been embarrassed.]

[He does look away to give her some privacy though.]

My commander, Erwin Smith. Her birthday was yesterday and I fuckin' forgot.

[mightletyouknowme]

[Idly, she begins to twirl a strand of hair around her finger.]

Since you don't know how to behave around normal people, they must be pretty special if you're throwing them a party. [Nope, no jealousy. None. She's only observing. Probably.]

[tsunball]

[ GOD HE AT LEAST COULD HAVE TEXTED BACK WHAT IS THIS. NUH-UH, HE SAID HE WAS SICK, HE'S GOING TO STAY RIGHT HERE.

IN BED.

Even if he has to endure the blaring PA system oh god his poor ears.... Honestly, with how nauseous the loud sound makes him, he might as well look sick by now. ]

[frequent_flyer]

[THIS GUY...]

Right... Sir. I'll be back soon...

[At least he could take orders, and he didn't give Levi half as much shit as he gave Yuri.]

[violined]

Do I look like a person who's got a clue of making things look pretty to you?

You sure don't look like one to me at least.

[ But hey, he does look around the hall a bit. What to do with this place? What kind of decorations were they even in a school? He's stopped wondering why he's even taking this seriously anymore, sometimes it's better to just go along with Levi's shit and then be done. ]
