[It's been a while, Plane, hasn't it? And now, Kuhn doesn't feel like going to work. So, what's he doing instead? Lying around in the weather-defying snow.]

I thought this place was weird before, but this is pretty much a new level of weird. Not that I mind it all that much.

[Contented sigh~] You know, you really miss this kind of thing in the real world. Online, too, I guess. Maybe Atoli's got a point with her "Stop and look at the graphics" thing.

[There are somewhat loud footsteps behind you--

... Don't worry, it's not a creeper. It's just d2!Haseo. ... Who is wearing a longcoat and a gd scarf over normal clothes - sleeveless armors aren't all that good in cold weather. Catch your death of cold. Oh, speaking of which---]

You'll get sick if you stay like that too long, you know.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's only cold if you're actually down here in the snow. [He laughs a little.] Otherwise, it feels pretty good outside. I don't get why the snow hasn't melted, but I'm not complaining!

Nice scarf, by the way.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

May as well chalk that up to the Plane, s' done weirder things than just making snow that doesn't melt.

[...Doesn't look too happy about that comment.] The weather's not too good at home, either. Otherwise, I wouldn't be wearing this damn thing. [Indicates scarf. :C] ...How're things on your world?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Seriously. [He stands, brushing himself off.] This is definitely mild. And almost kind of pleasant.

Awww, c'mon. It looks pretty good on you, Haseo! Anyway, things in my world are okay. Kind of slow. Days are getting colder, you know how it goes. How about your world, aside from the bad weather?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

...Well, I guess so. And at least it isn't hailing.

[Grumble grumble.] Too damn long, though. ...Things've been peaceful. Maybe a little too peaceful. Who knows, maybe some monsters will wander in soon.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[looking down at Kuhn with curiosity] I wonder if you might catch a cold that way, or if the weather is enough to counter that.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't give it any ideas. [slight laugh]

Feels like it's too good to be true, huh? Yeah. [Pause] You know, it's felt that way to me for a while now in my world. I really wonder what it means.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the weather will counter it. Isn't it usually going from extreme cold to extreme hot that makes you more sick, anyway?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

It doesn't need 'em, I'd think.

[Looks at the ground, kind of thoughtful.] The calm in between storms, maybe...though I sure hope that's not the case.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I really hope not.

[Pause] So hey, what came of that tarot card you got?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Reaches into a pocket and takes the damn thing out.]

... Nothing yet.

[Question: Why is the scythe not with her? Answer: She finally put it under lock and key ... sort of. Stashing it in one's room, in a locked box, underneath one's bed, which is a place where no one else will ever go counts as putting it under lock and key, right?]

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Is it? I thought it was something to do with viruses and bacteria. Though perhaps viruses and bacteria become very irritable at changes in temperature. Oh, well. Science will sort it all out in the end. I assume you're enjoying yourself as you are?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Seriously? That's odd. Is it still... doing whatever it was meant to do, whatever that is?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, that too. I don't know, man, the only real science I know about is computer science, and that's because it's my job. [He grins a bit.] I don't think I'd last long as a doctor, for... various reasons. [Said grin turns into a bit of a daydreamy smirk, but it fades quickly enough and settles back to that friendly grin.]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

How should I know?

[Flips it around a bit --- bats scarf out of face. B| Nrrrgh get away.]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Kuhn snickers a bit at the scarf bit and shakes his head.]

Here, let me show you a trick. [He moves to take the scarf off, but not so fast that Haseo can't back off if she doesn't want him to come any closer...?]

((dslkajl I can't stop snickering at Haseo's scarf-fail. ♥))

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[WHOA WHAT PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE INVADED. BACKING UP.

...And ends up tripping over the snow/her coat and falling on her rear.] What the hell?!

((She hates it because, well, what other .hack characters do we know who wear overgrown scarves? |D ...and not used to wearing one, that too.))

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Blink!! ... And he sheepishly rubs the back of his head, giving her an apologetic smile.]

Sorry, didn't mean to startle you like that. [He offers her a hand up.]

((Aha! That, too. Didn't think of that actually!))

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Personal space invasions are weeeeird. :(]

Uh...it's okay. [Stands up, dusts self off. Hoo boy that was embarrassing. ...Okay, this is Kuhn. Different Kuhn, but still a buddy-person who Pi smacks around a lot.] ...What was it you were gonna show me, anyway?

((Different deviances, different priorities? :3))

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Kind of hard to show without the scarf, but... if you double it over and put it around your neck kind of like a noose, the part that hangs will hang straight, and it won't brush up in your face so much.

[And yes, he was kind of making vague hand motions as he said that, hoping it would be helpful. Or something. Really, he just looks funny. Good job, Kuhn.]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Uh...let's see.

[Attempt one iiiiiis... ... ... Sort of failing, sort of not. And grumbling about scarves, stupid, etc.]

...This about right?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you've pretty much got the hang of it. Only better thing to do would be to fold it in half to thin it out some, but that would mean it wouldn't do the actual keep-your-neck-warm job, so... [Shrug]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Quiet for a moment before speaking.] ...Would it - not look so weird if it were folded?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

That depends on the look you're trying to go for. Try it and see if you like it, I guess.

[Fashion tips from Kuhn - what could possibly be better?]

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm trying to not have it look like--

[...she can trust this one. Right?]

-- like that guy's damn scarf. So yeah.
