✪ Thunder! Thunder!! ✪ [Video]

[loyal_cube]

[The device is turned on, adjusted, and then shows Cube's face.]

Ah, good evening, Discedo. I do hope you're all keeping dry.

Does anyone have any recommendations for living quarters? As much as I like where I am, I believe it's about time to-

[A flash of bright light fills the room as a loud crack of thunder follows. Not a second later, the little demon is knocked over by a blur of red and yellow. The communicator falls to the floor and slides to reveal Flandre clinging to Cube quite tightly.]

F-Flandre-chan! L-Let go! Too tight-- ack!

Le tonnerre, le tonnerre!

[Cube reaches for the communicator, gagging and trembling with all his strength to type something while the vampire has him in a death grip. Rather than send what he typed, the feed clicks off.]

[Oh, ok, pinged.] Living quarters, h - FLANDRE!

[FLANDRE NO BAD NO BISCUIT!!!]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube is choking. Help, Grandpa! Helllp!!!]

ACTION

[then_there_were_none]

[Even after all this time, that sound still...bothered her. Normally she was asleep, or it was far enough away or quiet enough that it didn't trouble her or Cube was far enough away that this didn't happen in the first place, but...it scared her. It always had, as long as she could remember, that ominous roaring grumble so much bigger than herself and that she couldn't control at all. Centuries of bad habits were hard to undo.

She's shivering pretty hard during all this visegrip hugging, at least. Her wing crystals are rattling, and she twitches whenever any new rumbles sound, whimpering as she did so.]

[gochuugoku]

[Um...]

Scared of thunder, Flandre?

ACTION ; ^ ; awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[loyal_cube]

[Cube understood. He did. After help raising so many young mistresses, being scared of storms was usually a must. But Flandre's strength is what Cube hadn't accounted for.

In an effort to wiggle out fro the little vampire's grip, Cube snaps his fingers and a shining light swirls about him... soon leaving him in his larger form. Maybe, if he was lucky... he could breathe this way.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre seems to be mumbling to herself and twitching and...not letting go of Cube.]

[then_there_were_none]

Je suis effrayé! [SO IT WOULD SEEM. Or at the very least scared of something, and Cube happened to be the nearest comforting object.

She doesn't seem to have realized she's kind of collapsing Cube's lungs yet.]

SHE'LL GET BETTER D8

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre started at the light, then cringed back away from it, thinking it might be more lightning. She had pulled away just a bit, as if to hide.]

well hello there

[zombiedad]

Flandre! You're choking him!

[oh nooooo Flandre why are you so cute but so dangerous?]

[video]

[bauhinia]

Hey, you okay there? [ He's just wondering. He's not concerned at all. Nope.... ]

[ video ]

[entreats]

... Let's guess. Someone here is afraid of thunderstorms.

:3

[then_there_were_none]

[She twitches again at the sound that is not thunder; probably some of the words sinking through. Her grip relaxes a little bit with surprise.]

[crabbygenius]

I believe there are apartments open in my building...

[Snickering softly.]

Re: :3

[loyal_cube]

[Cube takes a breath, then a larger gasp as soon as he can. As he does, his whole body seems to deflate as he catches his breath.

After a moment he smiles towards the device.]

T-Thank you, Meryl-san.

[He turns his attention towards his not!daughter.]

Flandre-chan it's alright. It's simply thunder. Lets get up now.

SHE BETTER OR HE WON'T HAVE RIBS.

[loyal_cube]

[Oh thank goodness it kind of worked, except the expression on FLandre's face pinged him with guilt.]

It's alright, Flandre-chan. It's just me.

[He'll hug her back, just not as tightly.]

And I won't let the storm harm you.

[loyal_cube]

[Collapsing lungs in 10... 9... 8...

Initiating flailing sequence.]

F-Flaandreeeeee--

[video]

[loyal_cube]

[It's a small bit later, Flandre still attached but at leasthe can breathe?]

A-ah, yes. I'm alright. Perhaps a small bit bruised B-But we're well.

Thank you.

[loyal_cube]

Ah, h-how could you guess?

[he still seems to be catching his breath.]

[loyal_cube]

[His breathing is just leveling out, back to normal.]

If I may ask, where is it that Little Washu lives?

[Cube's cheeks turn a bit pink at the snickering, but he's trying to ignore it.]

[crabbygenius]

It just so happens I live in the Christian Frederick Apartments here in Discedo.

Mind if I ask why the sudden interest in relocating?

[loyal_cube]

Ah! I was looking at those. They seem very nice. Also close to the Cafe.

[He looks to the side, mainly at the room around him.]

Well, the building we're staying in has no heating or water. Besides, we seem so far away from everyone else. I thought it might be best to find someplace new.

[He won't mention that the office building kind of brings sad memories of those who once lived there with him and Flandre. It makes cleaning a bit difficult when you keep a room for someone who looks as if they'll never return.]

[crabbygenius]

Well, it definitely has its perks~. Plus there aren't very many people living here at the moment so neighbors are welcome.

[bauhinia]

Okay, like, if you're sure. [ He's not convinced. ]

[video]

[loyal_cube]

Ah, well... Flandre-chan isn't alright, I suppose.

[Ready for some honesty?]

I'm a bit perplexed as to how to help her. In all my years, I've never had to deal with anyone as strong as Flandre-chan. So, this is a bit difficult.

[loyal_cube]

Really?

[Then a thought comes to him and his ears droop slightly.]

Ah, but I worry about the rabbits and Ryo Ohki....
