Tenth Vector * Action

[onewayroad]

[Of all places for the mistletoe to catch him, it seems fitting that Accelerator would wind up stuck just a few meters away from one of the campus vending machines. The mistletoe itself is somewhere above him, out of reach. The glitch certainly came prepared with its own little forcefield around this particular piece of mistletoe to thwart his attempts at getting rid of it using his powers. His fingers only bounce or slide off the field. His reverse engineering won't work on it either.

As a result, he's stuck right there, too far away from the vending machine and unable to move outside of about a meter radius. The flooring around him is split with a number of cracks from his futile attempts to leave. Every once in a while he can't help but kick small broken pieces of the flooring aside.]

This is fucking ridiculous.

[All he wanted was some coffee, damnit.]

[onewayroad]

I still refuse to believe it's an actual solution.

[princesspool]

Even in a place as bizarre as this?

[onewayroad]

This place isn't as bizarre as you claim it is.

[princesspool]

Even with the 'NPC's, and 'glitches', and the uncontrollable weather, and...

[onewayroad]

Those all link back to the program that runs the place.

[princesspool]

Then I guess we have different ideas of what makes something bizarre.

But it doesn't solve your predicament. Are you truly going to stay here instead of letting one kiss free you, first or not?

[onewayroad]

If I can help it.

[princesspool]

... I suppose if that's your choice...

[onewayroad]

[annoyed sigh]

You 'suppose,' do you?

[princesspool]

If I simply left you like this... it would feel terrible. You don't deserve such a mean spirited problem.

[onewayroad]

[The most bitter of laughs and scoffs]

I can hardly believe this.

[princesspool]

Oh, what don't you believe now?

[onewayroad]

What you're saying.

[princesspool]

... That I would feel awful for leaving you like this?

[onewayroad]

Pretty much.

[princesspool]

[Hnnngh, this guy...]

... Wait! I have an idea! You're hungry, aren't you? And that tantalizing machine is so close, yet so far...

[onewayroad]

Cut with the dramatics and just get me a can of coffee already.



[ooc: Pssst the vending machines in Afterliving are beverage-only. All the food comes from buying meal tickets etc. We can pretend she said 'thirsty' instead?]

[princesspool]

On it! See, I'm doing a good deed, just for you!

((OOC: Whoops! sorry ^^; ))

[onewayroad]

Rubbing in your "good deeds" is a waste of time.

[starts tapping his foot in annoyance, and hoping to goodness that she won't get stuck if she comes too close. Which reminds him...]

Throw it to me.

[princesspool]

[First, she smushes herself against the wall, sliding against it so she doesn't get suck under the mistletoe. Then, Beep beep, got the drink!]

All right... I should be able to...

[She leans back, and then, THROW!]

[onewayroad]

[holds up both hands and manages to catch it. good thing it's not caffeinated.]

[princesspool]

Gooooooooooooooal!

[She holds her hands up, extra proud of herself.]

[onewayroad]

You're having way too much fun with this.

[like a grump like him can talk. he is Mr. Can't Have Fun. he pops the tab open and takes a tip]
