Thanatos and Orpheus // Private Thread for the Win

[itsnotaleash]

[Thanatos can be found in the dorm room asleep on a pile of ancient tomes. There are a whole bunch of them scattered about his sleeping person and even a few across the room, most of those tomes open or bent from obvious abuse. Seems when they're useless, Thanatos throws them aside in frustration before preying on the next. It doesn't help most of them are in languages Thanatos doesn't know and so he outright can't use them in his sudden quest for research. Who knows how long he has been at this... It doesn't seem like he'll be asleep like that for any much longer either since he's going through all the signs he's in one of his nightmares.]

Wait, I'll help you - [Moves to help Orpheus clean up the various books all over the floor of their dorm room. Wait, that reminds him... He should probably tell Orpheus the kittens have been playing on all of the tomes while he was reading a few. He hasn't even seen one of them in awhile so they must be hidden in the mess.]

... Oh, Orpheus?

[clockstopped]

You don't... [Have to help? Too late, he's already helping. Sigh sir. But in that short interval between his offer and his name being called afterwards, you have an assistant leaning back to stare at the derpcase, a stack of ten-or-so books balanced easily on each hand.]

What is i--! [KITTEN'D! Fell off from one of the book towers most likely, and found it's landing spot on your Assistant's head. ... Mews cutely. Clearly a Just As Planned moment.] ... You lost the cats?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... [Can't help it - He laughs.] Y-Yeah, I did. You found one!

[clockstopped]

Get it off.

[Rushes towards Orpheus and lifts the kitten off of his face. It mewls and Thanatos gives it some warm cuddles.] So adorable... Now, where are your brothers and sisters? They must be on the stacks as well...

[clockstopped]

Have fun finding them. [Then right back to trying to bring order to this horrible chaos you've brought in here yet again. As is the job of an assistant, whether it be law firms, corporate superpowers, or a Fusionist-in-training's workhorse. Hmm... I wonder if Shura would get mad if we turned the closet into a pocket dimension.]

Oh, I will. Our kittens sure know how to hide! [Still holding the one kitten, Thanatos goes on an adventure to find the various other kittens lost in the mess of books. At the same time, he's also helping Orpheus organize. Well, he's trying to help organize at least. While all of the books are old, a few are actually in a language Thanatos can understand, which is why those ones aren't thrown about like the rest of the books were. Some books even show signs that Thanatos took the time to read through them and leave bookmarks so he can go back and reference them when he needs to. ... That pocket dimension in the closet sounds like a great way to store all of these tomes.

... Those kittens sure know how to hide from Death well. Until he finds a few behind a particularly large stack of tomes and one even under an open, upside down book.]

[If there's a reaction to the books with the bookmarks in them, it's only keeping them to the side for easier access. You're capable of retaining focus when you're actually motivated to do so. If only you had that same attention span towards your job. So have that pile of already-read books dropped one one of the uncovered desks, then back into the forest of books.]

[For a few seconds at least. Have another kitten dropped on said pile in question. Keep them out of the way, damnit.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Keeps the kittens all in one pile as Orpheus cleans up the forest of books there in the one room. This is a harder job than it sounds since the kittens keep mewling and trying to escape from the pile to run amok around the mess. A few of the fuzzy kitten butts flee towards Orpheus while he's lifting a particularly large amount of books in his arms. Oh shi-]

A-ah! Come back!

[Cue Thanatos moving fast to get the kittens before they get to Orpheus.]
