01 -- Two Boys and a Bed -- Video

[flamesbond]

[A general Mognet post today because Lea and Isa need anyone who can help.

Lea points his camera at the mess of wood and metal that is going to be their bedframe.

Eventually.

He hopes. Currently it’s just a disaster with Isa sitting in the middle of it, fuming and sweaty. Their apartment, like so many, is powerless.]

So...anyone know how to read backwoods Wutaian? At least I think that’s what the directions are in...or was it something else, Isa?

I think that’s what it is.

[He squints at the directions before holding them up for Lea’s phone to capture.]

[And yeah, it’s some dialect of Wutaian that two boys from Kalm would never have learned to read. Lea sighs]

Never buy a bed from a backalley furniture store, guys. Even if it’s a great deal for a queen-sized bed.

[Yes. Two teenaged boys got one queen-sized bed. No, they don’t see a problem with this.]

Okay, you’ve asked. Turn that off and go change the laundry to the dryer already.

You nag, you know that?

I wasn’t nagging. Nagging would imply I asked you more than twice.

[He pauses.]

You’re not still filming this are you?

[Lea snorts]

I'm getting it, I'm getting...Nag

[It cuts off.]

I'm not wasting ethers on Ice materia, Isa. That's for mastered Fire only!

[aiza]

Good.

[Though really, as much of a hard time as Isa is giving him, he would not mind Lea putting the ice materia to good use if they could come up with a way that wouldn't destroy their room or put his life in danger.]

I mean unless we could freeze the bedroom for longer than a second. Then I'd use them.

It's too bad no one is selling air conditioners or generators that run on lightning materia.

[That would solve their problem. But it's a solution that he's pretty sure would be purchasable if it were possible.]

[flamesbond]

You'd think that'd be a thing....but then again if it was there'd never have been a ShinRa.

[action]

[aiza]

Oh, there would have been. They'd just have bought out the market on lightning materia.

[He sighs and plops face down on the floor in a space that's not covered in wood and pieces of metal. Just let him be a puddle on the floor for now.]

At least the floor's not too warm.

[action]

[flamesbond]

For now.

[Lea starts to poke at the wood and metal, trying to sort out the bed]

Body heat, Isa.

[action]

[aiza]

Shhhh. Let me enjoy it while it lasts.

We're moving to Icicle Inn next time. Then you won't look so pathetic.

Hopefully they get this sorted soon and we can have the air conditioner on.
