[video]
[The video's not very clear when it comes on; it's dark and gloomy, showing hints of thick dust and cobwebs--a glimpse of a window reveals deep fog--and then it shifts to Rita's wide-eyed face. When she speaks, she's trying very hard to pretend she's calm...and failing pretty horribly.]
I-is anyone else stuck in this weirdo place? I mean, it's not like I need help or anything, but-
[A loud creak and sudden clatter of footsteps interrupts her, the shutters to the window abruptly blowing open, and she jumps with a yelp.] Aah--! Uh--it's not sc--just where's the exit, already?!
[Maybe realizing that the video's still recording her little freak-out, she quickly shuts it off.]
[ooc: Tags slow forever. ._. Sorry!]

action; ♥!
[ And then all the liquid is in the machine, and he pauses in his actions as he looks for how to start it. He doesn't usually get excited, neither in the City or back home, but making something with her and learning how to - that's become something he looks forward to. ] How about you tell me how to while we wait for this core to come together?
action; ♥!
[She hadn't thought of doing that yet--and her mild surprise turns to a smile.] Yeah, we can do that. This'll take a few hours, anyway.
action; ♥!
[ Ah, there's the switch. After closing it up, he starts up the machine and turns to her again. ] That's right. Do yo have an extra notebook to write in?
action; ♥!
[Rita nods approvingly, then hears his question. Oh, she probably does, but...She turns to look at the piles and shelves of books and papers.] ...There should be some around here.
action; ♥!
... [ He bets she has some books somewhere... He slips his hands into his pockets and just looks at her. ] You should organise this place...
action; ♥!
[She scowls back and tsuns at him.] There's nothing wrong with it! I can find them, no problem!
action; ♥!
If you say so... I'll leave finding a book to you.
action; ♥!
J-just watch!
action; ♥!
[ And he leans against the table. ] All right. Go on.
action; ♥!
[She grumbles and moves over to one stack of books, grabbing one with a blank cover--oh, she wrote inside it. Those get shoved onto the floor, quickly joined by more as she goes through them more and more impatiently, knowing that Tyr's watching.]
action; ♥!
[ ...And this is why her place is a wreck. He sighs quietly but doesn't move. He's pretty sure she'd turn him down if he tried to help anyway. ]
action; ♥!
[She huffs as kicks over another stack.] What?
action; ♥!
[ Wow... ] I'm just surprised you can find anything here...
action; ♥!
I-I don't have any problem! [R-really...She gets a bit more forceful as she shoves books aside and finally comes up with a notebook with blank pages.
It's teastained, but it's perfectly fine-!] Here!
action; ♥!
[ He's surprised her books aren't in pieces. When she finds the book, he's obviously surprised. ] Ah, you found one.
[ It's stained, but it is Rita's. He gets up to take it from her. ]
action; ♥!
[It's almost a miracle...Rita shoves the book towards him as he comes over.] I said I would, didn't I?
action; ♥!
[ He's not tripped up by it and just pulls it to his chest. ] Yeah, but I didn't think you actually would... [ As he looks over the floor. ]
action; ♥!
[Hands on her hips, she leans towards him and huffs.] And why not?!
action; ♥!
[ He stays firm, even if having her lean forward bothers him a little. ] Because this place is a mess...
action; ♥!
[She has no idea of his discomfort, but straightens up anyway.
Not to make herself look taller or anything.] There's nothing wrong with it!action; ♥!
[ It does get him to look up at her before he looks around her. ]
It's even worse than before now...
action; ♥!
S-so what? I found your notebook!
action; ♥!
Right right. [ Sighing, he flips it open to the first page. It's a little wrinkly, but definitely usable. He gropes behind him for a pencil as he continues. ] So let's forget about the room and get started.
