MK VII: Faulty Wiring

A || PHONE || UNFILTERED

Pfft. Typical. Looks like the IT Department is under new management, Mayfield. S'what happens when you outsource your tech to Hades and/or wherever the hell else we are.

Anyone know what the deal is, here? I'm normally not one to let anything get me down, but gravity certainly brought me down through my living room floor this morning.

Ouch, incidentally.
 

B || DAY || CUNNINGHAM LANE STREETS

[Tony's a man of science and tomfoolery. That's why he's phasing his hand in and out of his otherwise-solid-looking front door experimentally. Then he's sticking other limbs in there -- one foot, then the other... walk by at the right time and you might just see a bemused human head seemingly stuck in the door, looking about the area and curiously inspecting the clouds in the sky.]

[A small smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. He doesn't budge as she leans in closer, but turns to face her more directly.]
I do. But not as well as I would take care of yourself.

[not_so_great_wall]

You're saying you can take care of me... better than... me? [ Did she follow that? Don't zig-zag so much, Tony, you'll lose her. ]

[thecoolexec]

Well, yeah, meaning...

[....Screw it. Show AND tell. He reaches out with one hand, takes a light hold on the small of her back, tugs her up close and kisses her on the lips.]

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Caught by surprise, Meiling isn't into the kiss at first. When she pulls back for a bit of air, though, she's smiling. ] ...ah. I get it.

[ And then she wraps her arms about him and leans in for a more purposeful, genuinely affectionate kiss. There. That's much better, isn't it? ]

[thecoolexec]

[Yes. It certainly is. He was worried for a split second there.]

[He smiles through the kiss as she wraps her arms around his neck and, unbeknownst to her, pumps a fist beside his waist. I'm BACK, baby!! AND with a beautiful redhead. Who can FLY n' stuff, so he's definitely hit a homer this time. Personal best!]

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Just as long as there are no "Enter the Dragon" jokes, things should be going pretty smoothly for Tony. Not that she would get the reference...

Pulling her lips away again, if only briefly, Meiling side-eyes the house. ] ...we should probably head inside. [ Eager? Something like that. It's more because if Remilia catches wind of this, there will be hell to pay, and if she's going to be selfish and enjoy this she isn't doing to drag Tony down with her. ]

[thecoolexec]

Immediately. Posthaste.

[The guy is practically skipping. So don't be too alarmed when he bolts ahead to grab the doorknob, stumbles and... Fall-phases straight through it and into the hallway inside. He'll bolt up and dust himself off but the ego damage is done.]

STUPID---! Ahem. Right this way. (Watch your step.)

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling laughs quietly and hops through the door. ] Are you okay? [ She looks around. ] Hmm, is there anyone home? [ Odds of that stopping her are low, but it could be awkward for others.

Also, she looks up toward the ceiling. ] ...how is the stability of the rest of the house?

[thecoolexec]

[He cups his hands and shouts:]

OH MY GOD, I JUST FOUND THE WAY OUT OF MAYFIELD!!

[He waits, peering around. No one comes running. Some drones walk by peering at him oddly.] Guess we're alone.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling laughs. Loud. ] That's one way to do it! [ She moves past him toward the stairs, extending a hand for him after she passed. Yes it's his house, but— ] I'll go first and let you know if the floor is going to give out. [ Flying helps with that. ]

[thecoolexec]

Excellent suggestion. Yeah. Go ahead. [He takes her hand and pulls himself up, disgruntled, but more alarmed. He... hadn't considered the whole floor situation. This could be...unfortunate.]

thankfully I don't have to have access to continue this thread >.>

[not_so_great_wall]

[ It could be, but if she has to do this in the basement just so there's no more floor to phase through, she will. Hopefully it won't come to that. ]

haha access? what do you mean?

[thecoolexec]

[He waits at the bottom of the stairs awkwardly, waiting to see the situation. He slicks his hair back with his hand a little and checks his teeth in a nearby reflection. Does he smell good? ...Yeah, he's ok, good.] What's the word, pretty bird?

I posted her drop 2 days ago. She won't survive the event that ended ;;

[not_so_great_wall]

Only one more thing left to check! [ And with that she disappears from the end of the staircase, making her way into what she knows to be the master bedroom since all the houses are laid out the same. Her footfalls are heavy enough to make the floors creak until she leaps and bounces right on the nearest bed. ] It's sturdy!

WHAT. So this is now a dramatic irony tragedy?!

[thecoolexec]

Oh thank God. [Spoken a little...louder than he meant to. Oops. A-ahem.Well. He climbs the steps, one foot at a time just in case, and follows her into the bedroom. Seeing her lying on the bed lifts his spirits, among other things.]

Great! Anyway, I guess if this goes south (geographically speaking), it's just a matter of you moving the earth beneath my feet.

you mean Mayfield is anything BUT that? XD;

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling grins a bit. ] I think I can keep you safe if that happens. [ Or she'll think of something. ] Let's stop worrying about it.

True...! Lol. Did you permadeath Meiling?

[thecoolexec]

Well said. [He steps into the room and collapses backwards onto the bed on his back, somewhere near her legs and lap, and kicks off his shoes one foot at a time. Then he sits up, turns to face her and shoves her playfully back onto her back]
