Jordan looked up, gave Rin a faint smile. "If you need a hand converting yours, I'll help, you know."
"Grab the wire thing there, the support," he instructed. "It rests across the rails like so, instead of a boxspring. Cheap crap." He shrugged a little. "Dorm stuff."

"Hmmm... I might just take you up on that," she smirked before grabbing what she was sure he was pointing at, "This?"

"Yeah, that." Jordan picked up the other end of the piece in question and maneuvered it onto the frame. "There's one, just one more, then the mattresses." He smirked at Rin. "All that extra room is nice, huh?"

Rin suppressed the urge to laugh, there's no way she's commenting on that one. She moved carefully to assist with the placement of the two pieces, "Done and done."
Then wandered over to check out one of the mattresses, "How are you going to keep them from spreading and slipping and sliding?"

"Thanks." Jordan moved over to take one end of one of the mattresses. "I think I can talk the quartermaster out of a roll of elastic. That and a large sheet should do it. I just have to find out what kind of liquor he likes so I can promise to get some next time I'm on leave."
There were all sorts of terrible things he could say to this conversation, and he wasn't saying any of them. He didn't know Rin quite well enough to be totally comfortable with dirty jokes; not yet, anyway.

Rin swooped in to grab the other end and help Jordan carry and guide the massive thing onto the newly arranged frame, "That or maybe a fancy stitch job with a pillow top cover so whoever gets the middle doesn't feel like they're always sinking or getting caught."
She flashed him a bit of a smirk, "'till then I guess you could wedge something along the edge between the mattress and the frame to keep the mattress from shifting too terribly."

"That'd probably work. Or, y'know, duct tape. Universal panacea." Jordan grinned at Rin and put his end of the mattress into the frame.

Rin chuckled and grinned wildly, "Yeah, could work - doubt either of your guys would mind."
She shoved her own side in and adjusted it to be level with her knees, "Next victim!"

"It's not crinkly or anything. Probably wouldn't even notice." Jordan went to pick up the second mattress. "You know, that makes me wonder. Runic duct tape? Wouldn't put it past some of the life division ... "

"You sure you wanna risk that?" Rin grinned ferally, she's all for the idea - but what such a tape would do is quite truly uncertain.
She grabbed the other end of this mattress and began shuffling back towards the bed again with it.

"No way. Not saying I'd use it, just wondering if it exists and if it does, what it does." Jordan flopped the mattress onto the frame. "On second thought, considering, maybe I don't want to know. There, that ought to do it. Thanks for the loan and the help." He scooped the screwdriver off the desk and held it out.

Rin took it and pocketed it along with Byr, "No problem, need anymore help?"
Frankly, she agreed about the duct tape, people in the labs weren't exactly the most honest folks either. They'd claim innocence and then your bed decides to attack you in the middle of the night. Must have malfunctioned, right.

"I think that's it. I can get the stray rail myself." Jordan picked up the board; he'd take it down to storage. "I owe you a favor. Just let me know, all right?"

"Can I have that?" Rin gestured at the stray board, "Might have a use for it in my own room and I'll consider it more than a favour..."
She offered an amused little smirk,"Granted I want my own bed converted in the future too, I'll owe you then at that time?"

Jordan's eyebrows arched. He couldn't think of what Rin might want with the board. A shelf, maybe? None of his business, though, unless she felt like saying. He passed it to her. "All yours. And yeah, just text me or whatever when you need a hand."
