[ call or text Reim within! I was going to set up a voicemail inbox message but then I realized no one is ever going to hear it unless he’s unconscious or dead. it doesn’t matter if you call at 3am he’ll pick up. ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

No.

[ he is so disturbed by this he has forgotten about the clothes ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

He said he plays the same kind of music where that happens, so...

[He'd also be forgetting the clothes, except he's getting a little chilly sitting around with no shirt on.]

We were talking about trying to get a piano, but if we do I'm keeping an eye on him around it.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

-Oh, but a piano would be lovely.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Yeah. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it'd be nice.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

Why not? I expect it shouldn’t be difficult at all. Why don’t we try with the three of us? If that isn’t enough, I’m sure Sharon would love to lend a hand, and some of our housemates are musicians themselves.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

I already asked for a lot of stuff. I figured they'd get fed up is all.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

If you’re rejected for that reason, someone else could ask in your stead. We can’t know the limitations of the box without testing them ourselves.

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Then we'll try it later.

[. . .]

Uhm. Are those clothes done yet? It's cold.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

-Oh!! My apologies!!

[ SETS HIS FOOD ASIDE AND RUNS TO THE BATHROOM turning the shower off and retrieving the clothes. he comes back out still in a hurry and lays them out on top of Elliot's dresser to press out the last traces of wrinkles ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

[...Okay Reim panicking like that is way too funny to resist laughing at.]

If you run like that you're gonna slip.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

I-I didn't slip!

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Yet.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

It's out of the bathroom now! I wouldn't possibly slip on carpet.

[ taking up the shirt and handing it over, careful to keep it from crumpling any even while moving ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

You never know.

[Yay shirt not looking like a rumpled mess!!]

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

[ there is probably some kind of trick to tucking in shirts so they don't get all fucked up and messy looking when you move around at all but unless Elliot has those thigh garter things I don't fucking know what it is. Reim would though. Reim will coach him through that, and through tightening the waistcoat ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

[He can do most of it just fine. He's not the type to totally rely on someone else, after all... but some of the details are rough and tightening your own waistcoat is a little harder. But he gets it! We are getting fancy!]

Finally. I was getting sick of looking sloppy all the time.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

I’m glad to have been of help.

[ backtracks to go turn his bathroom fan on ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

Yeah... Thanks.

[He deserves a lot of thanks, really. Elliot has no idea how he'd be functioning if Reim hadn't stepped in...

Anyway he's adjusting his bow a little and buttoning his overcoat and he is LOOKIN PROPER.]

Let's go look around.

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

Yes. Let me just gather up the dishes first- go on ahead if you'd rather not wait.

[ SO HE SAYS, BUT HARLOCK IS GETTING THE DISHES

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY ]

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

I'm not in a rush.

[So he will just trail behind Reim like a fancy duckling til they head off.]

Where did you say it was?

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

[ in SUCH A GOOD MOOD NOW ]

The new path I spotted was right down this way.

[ OUT OF THE MOTEL AND TOOOO THE LIBRARY ]

1/3

[cuttingwords]

[Off they go!]

I wonder what changed...

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

[Aaaand then he spots the building and the sign.]

Wait... it worked?

Re: Day 10, morning

[cuttingwords]

[Cue Elliot scampering over to the door, yanking it open and sticking his head in...

...at which point he look back at Reim with the biggest delighted grin.]

Look, Reim! It really worked! It's not even weird!

Re: Day 10, morning

[chew_toy]

[ THE GOOD DAY GETS EVEN BETTER ]

Congratulations, Elliot! My goodness- let's take a look inside.
