❖ Video ❖ Mai + Radiant Gardens [008]

[savesjerkbenders]

You can tell a boy has been living here alone.

[Mai was home alone, as usual, while Leon was out working. She had been waiting for Leon to clean up the mess he had left but it had been a few days now and Mai was starting to think he was ignoring it. She had grabbed a basket and walked over to the kitchen table where most of Leon's paperwork was.]

I think the proper thing in terms of organization is to put things in order, correct? [She lifted up a paper and eyed it for a moment.] I guess you'll have some work to do when you get home, Leon.

[She grabbed some more papers and dumped them in the basket, clearing out the place. Even griever seemed to be helping, dragging papers in her snout to the basket Mai kept dumping them in.]

Undertaker, I hope I still have a job in your shop. I don't think I can stand being inside all the time.

[Private to Leon]
Your fridge is empty. What do you want me to get.

[You know, that you can cook because she's not cooking.]

There are some things where mess can be a good thing. Though for papers it's not the best one to have a mess over.

[savesjerkbenders]

When, exactly, could a mess be a good thing.

video;

[brbgettingwrench]

I find things much faster in a mess than I do when it's clean.

video;

[savesjerkbenders]

Somehow I find that hard to believe.

video;

[brbgettingwrench]

Depends on the job. For what I do a mess is much better.

video;

[savesjerkbenders]

And what job is that?

video;

[brbgettingwrench]

Engineer.

[changingtheflavor]

You're right, that's exactly what organization is. Do you need help in organizing?

video;

[savesjerkbenders]

Why are you asking?

[She doubts people who find 'cleaning' and 'organizing' actually exist.]

video;

[changingtheflavor]

Because I was curious. Sorry.

video;

[savesjerkbenders]

And here I thought you wanted to volunteer dealing with the mess.

video;

[changingtheflavor]

Oh! I would offer to help, but I didn't want to seem rude in asking.

Re: video;

[savesjerkbenders]

I think you all ready asked. [And she lets the basket drop.]

Be my guest. I'm not meant for this.

video;

[changingtheflavor]

O-Okay. Sorry if I was rude though, but I need to ask where are you?

[It's just as well. He's a pretty decent cook when... he, uh. Actually remembers to make food.]

I was gonna clean that... [--Eventually!] Thanks anyway.

You really think I'm gonna let you go out and get food for me? Not a chance. When I get home, we can at least go together and look around. I won't be gone that long.

[video]

[savesjerkbenders]

I know you're busy. I'm just trying to help you out.

[And she'll even admit it, she doesn't like feeling useless.]

If that's what you want, I'll wait.

[video]

[notsquall]

[He makes a short noise-- it almost sounds like a laugh.]

I know. It's embarrassing that it got that bad. You shouldn't have to clean up my messes.

[Would taking her out on Heartless patrols help the not-feeling-useless thing?]

Good. I'll be back in about... ten, fifteen minutes.

[video]

[savesjerkbenders]

[Maybe it would help.]

I'm keeping your word.

[Leon just gives her a small salute before turning the feed off and, as promised, he shows up in about ten minutes. He can't help looking around a bit when he heads inside, brows raising.]

You really picked this place up. Glad you and Griever didn't get lost. Kind of figured my messes were places of no return.

[He starts to dump the workload on his table, thinks better of it, then puts it in the basket Mai was already putting his work into. He could sort it out later.]

[action]

[savesjerkbenders]

[Good job, Leon. She would have stabbed you on the side if you had put it on the table she just finished cleaning.]

You owe me dinner. Don't forget.

[action]

[notsquall]

[Aren't you so proud of him? He's learning.]

Doubt you'd let me forget. [He's just teasing, Mai.] Would you rather head out for dinner or stay in?

[death_is_a_riot]

Of course, of course you have the job~! Same time as always...~

[When ever you come in. He is a very lax boss.]

It's nearly our busy season~! We will be making many lovely coffins~!!

[Video]

[savesjerkbenders]

I'm glad to hear it. When do I start?

[Video]

[death_is_a_riot]

Right away~! You could start to work on the death shrouds, we are running low of those~

[Video]

[savesjerkbenders]

I'll be there early in the morning.
