Action-Log [Open]---Cleaning up and Organizing

[light_of_willpower]

Who: Trunks (Future) and YOU (Open to all.)
What: After dealing with a haunted village and an abyss that feeds on rage, Trunks needs something normal and productive to do. Cleaning and organizing it is!
When:Post-orientation events? (Especially post his)
Where: Main Library--Dorm section
Warnings: Dust? None yet.



After checking in with the Librarians, after his and Sunset's adventure in the book with the butterfly on it and the cursed village and abyss, Trunks needed a distraction. A solo distraction, given the memories and emotions dealt with on their adventure. Wandering in the 'safe' areas but near the main-desk, eventually he found his way to what looked like a dorm section.

This must be where they would all be staying. There were empty name-plates on doors lining a hallway, and looking in one produced what he'd expected. Small rooms with basic furniture, and an attached bathroom. But the furniture was all stacked, and dusty, and linens were folded and left on the bed. Perfect--cleaning and organizing would give him something to do that would be mindless enough, but physically active.

He claimed a room by virtue of leaving his jacket and sword in it, and pulling the furniture down. Chair off the desk, making the bed, and he'd dust his own later. Taking one of the towels, he moved methodically down the hallway. Each room got a thorough dusting, and the beds were made and furniture set right and organized. Not more physically taxing than helping with the shelters he did back home, for those who'd escaped the Androids.


[OOC: Come say hi to a sweaty demi-saiyan doing some house cleaning. Feel free to help him, or not.]

Rose nodded knowingly. "Yuuuuup," she popped the p, just like the Doctor always did. "My Mum accused me of sleepin' with my Dad, and bein' someone he cheated on with, that was why I got handed a baby version of myself." She face palmed in rememberance. "Parents, right?" Rose does not want to be a parent for a long time yet, if ever.

[light_of_willpower]

"I just got accused of being wrong, because the timeline of things had shifted and these weren't the 'right' androids." There's a long huffed sigh, again channeling a parent--this time more his mother though. "Parents. Right."

A pause, and a slow blink. "We had just found Dr. Gero--that's the Androids creator by the way--we'd just found his lab, and blueprints for the other androids. We might've found a way to stop them, but the two I knew were definitely active or close to being so." Again that hint of frown. "That's the point I was at when I got brought here."

[bigbadrose]

Rose nodded and gave him a quiet grin. "Sounds... complicated. But good complicated! The kind where you know there's hope left." She tugged out her key again, quietly squeezing it as tightly as she could in her hand. "The Doctor's... Well he told someone he was ood, I don't know if he's telling all people that or --" she shook her head and laughed, "But he doesn't have the tentacle mouths. When I find him, I'll tell him I told you that he's an alien and what ood look like."

She took a deep breath and leaned carefully on the chair. "He's the only one of his kind left. So meeting others like that -- is really surprising!" she grinned, softening it slowly, "But good surprising, yeah? I told Will to tell him he's not alone, dunno if he'll get what the message means but..." She bites her bottom lip. "I watched him die thousands of times. That regeneration thing doesn't always happen, and watching that..." her eyes dimmed. "He told me the walls the the universe were sealed. He had to burn up a supernova just to send me a hologram and psychic message." She big her bottom lip again.

"To be honest... I'm really glad he's here, but I'm a little worried too. Someone else who knows him said he's twice the age as when he and I first met, and... that's good! It means I made him survive. I did something even he couldn't, more'n a dozen times. But his people had laws about time travel and I broke them with the paradox, 'm pretty sure I broke them with the dimension cannon..." a deep breath, and Rose let it out slowly, giving the key a final squeeze before tucking it away again. No matter how angry they were at each other, they'd work it out, the TARDIS was her home, wasn't it? Her voice drops even quieter. "I made my choice a long time ago. My Mom remarried the other universe Peter, my father that wasn't, but he saved my life, and I repaid it by running away again. A fourth time on her." She ran a hand through her hair, quietly getting up from the chair and offering Trunks a hand up and a last hug for the night. "I don't have any regrets or doubts. Stars are goin' out and the only one who'll know how to fix it is him, but--" she gave Trunks a wry grin. "If he's two thousand years old now, I've no idea if he'll even remember me. And he might be mad at me either way. Wish me luck, okay?"

She'll give him a last hug and add, "Never easy saving timelines, but as long as it's fun and everyone you meet is worth it, yeah?"

It's definitely been an unexpectedly emotional talk. He's probably going to finish cleaning this room, then go find the one he claimed. Listening the whole time, and reaching out a hand on her shoulder when it gets difficult.

"I have to believe there is still hope. It's what keeps me going." Trunks murmured, and while he's still not the most comfy with hugs he accepts it from Rose with no problem. That last one though, will make him laugh. "I don't know about 'fun'..." But he's picking her up around the waist and spinning her around in that hug and speaking quietly. "I didn't mean to open up, but I'm glad I did. I haven't had a kindred spirit in a long time."

He means that.

[bigbadrose]

She laughs as she's spun around, beaming up at him ear to ear. "Same! Some o' this, I could never tell anyone, so I'm glad I met you too Trunks. I'll be back to bug you before you know it, yeah? And if you ever wanna find me, do that, okay?"

[light_of_willpower]

She's not that much shorter than him, but her smile makes him smile too. It's probably the lightest smile he's had in a while honestly. "Same. Do me a favor, and if you're going to get into something you shouldn't, call me. Better you have someone watching your back, right?"

A brief nudge against her shoulder--the lightest tap--with a closed fist. He hasn't missed that tendency. Not after her game of tag and her stories.

[bigbadrose]

Another laugh and she taps him right back with her own fist-bump, "You betcha." Maybe not before trouble, but for fun at least. And some trouble. Although Rose could find trouble just by breathing usually. "And I better see this room not too spotless, Mister. Even time-travelin' superheroes need rest," she stuck her tongue out to the side.

[light_of_willpower]

A sigh, but he's still grinning. "Told you, I'm not a superhero. Not unless you're counting yourself on that, oh great Bad Wolf." Offering her a brief salute too.

[bigbadrose]

"Villain maybe," Rose sassed back, walking away, but shooting him a glance over her shoulder with fingers under her eyes. "Not too many people would risk the walls of time and space just because they miss stars they can't even prove are gone." But with another laugh, she too was gone.
