Testing-!

[guielliotine]

_{[In theory it was supposed to be simple. Put bread in, push down the leaver and wait. Of course though, something terrible had to go wrong. The toast in the toaster had burnt to a crisp, setting off the piercing shriek of the smoke alarm in his house. His own screams too accompanied the alarm as he ripped the toaster away from the wall and threw it to the ground. Why wouldn't it stop smoking?!]}

Why won't it stop?!

[guielliotine]

It wasn't crispy enough.

[flips]

That's how it burned, you idiot.

[ uughdf turns and walks back to his room ]

I'm going back to sleep.

[guielliotine]

But...How do I turn the alarm off?

[flips]

Open the windows and let the smoke out. Now stop bothering me.

[guielliotine]

It's eleven in the morning. Shouldn't you be up anyway?

_{[Pause. Grumbles and opens the windows.]}

And you're my servant! You're supposed to help me out Leo-!

[flips]

I was up late last night. And I'm your brother here so that doesn't work. Goodnight.

[ SLAMS THE DOOR ]

[guielliotine]

YOU'RE NOT MY BROTHER-!

[flips]

[ you're gonna have to come in here and yell that in his ear or something because he's not coming back out dude ]

[guielliotine]

_{[Wrenches. Open. Door.]}

YOU'RE NOT MY BROTHER, LEO!

[flips]

[ THROWS A PILLOW AT ]

[guielliotine]

_{[Sputters and throws b a c k.]}

Don't throw pillows at me!

[flips]

[ muffled from under pillows and blankets ]

Get out of my room and let me sleep!

[guielliotine]

<sub>[Maybe...It would be for the best.

If he let Leo sleep.

If there was one kind of Leo Elliot didn't really want to deal with, it was a cranky, tired one.]</sub>

...Fine.

[flips]

[ you definitely don't want to deal with a cranky, tired leo. maybe if he didn't stay up so late last night reading 50 shades of grey............



but he'll be ok in a couple hours just let him sleep ok ]

[guielliotine]

_{[And if Leo bothers to arise later he'll notice Elliot at the kitchen table, scribbling notation on paper.]}

[flips]

[ yeah about 2 o'clock or so leo finally emerges, yawning and heads for the fridge for something to eat. ]

What are you doing?

[guielliotine]

Composing. Or trying to.

[flips]

[ wanders over with orange juice and looks over his shoulder ]

It doesn't look like you're very successful right now.

[guielliotine]

No. _{[A sigh. Thanks for being observant, Leo.]} I'm not.

[flips]

[ sips juice ]

Maybe it'll go better if you did it at a piano?

[guielliotine]

I was trying to be quiet.

_{[Grumble, grumble. See? He was being considerate and didn't want to face your rage wake you up.]}

[flips]

Oh.

[ ... that's kawaii ]

Well, you can do it now.

[guielliotine]

Not going to go back to bed?

[flips]

[ yawns ]

I'm done sleeping.

What did you do with the toaster?
