If I had a hammer....

Who: Minako Arisato and Akihiko Sanada
Where: Iwatodai dormatory
Summary: With most of the dorm still missing, Minako decides to do some housekeeping, and winds up finding more than she bargained for.
Warnings: This log involves Akihiko, that's warning enough


If there's one thing Minako can't stand, it's being idle.

It's not that she is idle. Her jobs keep her busy enough, as well as the recent happenings in the city. But with a good chunk of her social network - and her brother - missing, she still feels like she has nothing to do, especially when she's back at the dorm in the evening. She can't build Social Links that aren't there.

So, she's begun an impromptu cleaning of everything in the dorm. The first day is just vacuuming everything, from the lounge all the way up to the fourth floor. Then she spends a day writing up plans for what to do with Ikutsuki's old office. Maybe a Foosball table would be appropriate? But without everyone there to weigh in, she decides not to do that. Her final decision comes after peeking into Shinji's dorm room yet again and finding it as empty as usual.

This situation can't continue. Never mind that her own room is just as spartan as his - she can at least spruce his up a little. Maybe hers a little too, but mostly his. It's his punishment for being missing over Valentine's.

So, the next day she reappears with a new rug, curtains, and the parts to set up bookshelves and a new and larger bed. (If anyone questions the necessity of the last part, they're only going to get a stare and an unusual amount of silence.) She was able to get these things delivered (and at a fairly cheap price - she's pretty good at haggling,) but she's stuck with them now at the bottom of the stairs. She starts carrying what she can slowly op the flights, but probably going to need the assistance of someone, or will get interrupted either way, before she gets everything to her goal.

Akihiko has managed to keep himself busy during their friends' absence, though it hasn't been easy. Though he's somewhat lacking in self-preservation skills, he's an ace when it comes to worrying about others, and that nagging concern for his teammates has been weighing him down as he goes about his business, even when he tries to lose himself in his training.

Today he's opted for a bit of downtime, seeing as he has no appointments to tend to for work, but the sound of Minako dragging something up the stairs catches his attention when he emerges from his room with the intent of heading down to the kitchen. He jogs to the end of the corridor, peering around the corner to see her approaching the landing.

"Hey there." He raises an eyebrow, curious. "What's all this for? Need a hand?"
