IT'S A GOOD DAY TO HAVE A BAD DAY

[cascadingfailure]

Who: Day 373
Where: The Hotel Lobby
When: Day 373, late night

[ So how about that ruined lobby? Despite damage to the city usually being repaired overnight, barring acts of Heaven and Hell, it's still blown wide open and also the entire ground floor of the hotel is flooded.

The intercoms have fallen silent since the guest stars made their mark, but for some reason, they've started up again. They're having problems, though - they undergo a constant loop each time they buzz to life, first playing just thirty seconds of a song familiar to some which distorts and slows and slows and slows and slows until all that's left is

uh, this? Which speeds up until it becomes this this, and then just sort of breaks down. And then the loop starts over again.

It's...a mingle?! Do you really want to be here...? ]

[scattershot]

Absolutely. Let's at least try to do this the traditional way.

[Traditional in this case involves an Aibou, but what can you do when you're four foot something and there's rubble to sort through?]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You got it, dude.

[Coming on over to help pick up]

[scattershot]

The furniture's probably had it.

[She pokes one of the couch cushions. Ugh. Nobody is going to want to sit on that.

[Steps back to let her Aibou pick it up, because she's still just shy of five foot and should probably be carrying out something more realistic, like maybe a bar stool?]

Are we just piling this outside for now?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. Can load up a van or something later and cart it off.

[Picking up a chair to haul it over to the door]

[scattershot]

I would ask where we'd get a van, but I suspect the answer would only be 'D.va'.

[Hiking the stool over one shoulder.]

It's a pity our abilities aren't more useful for this situation.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Doesn't bother answering the first part - because the answer is, in fact, Dva]

For real.

...I guess I got a wheel barrow that'd do some good, though.

[scattershot]

You do? That would definitely speed things up. Mayhao--

[She looks up at her Aibou.]

--he doesn't have a name yet. But mayhap he could push it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It ain't too heavy for him?

[scattershot]

Well, he'll certainly have more luck with it than I would.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, I could do it. He can help load it up. Deal?

[scattershot]

That certainly sounds like a plan. Where is it kept?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I got it up in the workshop.

Gimme a sec and I'll get it down.

[Heading for the elevator]

[scattershot]

You won't be needing any help?

[crossmyheartandhope]

To bring it down here?

Naw, it's got a wheel, I'm good.

I guess if you wanna see where I keep it, though, you'll know where it's at if you wanna borrow it some other time.

[scattershot]

Then I shall accompany you.

You don't have to plug it in, do you? Or charge it? The broom required it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

The... broom?
