Paige, was so into the movie, she didn't notice the clouds suddenly darken as heavy rain started to pour down.

::A storm came down upon them, and Odin's eyes darted to each and every electronic in the apartment: television, microwave, the lamps...there'd been quite a few power outages with the recent storms.::

Paige took notice to the storm when she noticed Odin look around, "What's wrong?" She asked him, they had not gotten a power outage upstate yet.

"The circuits here are old, and the storms can short the power out," ::Odin replied, although he was appeased for the moment.::

"Uh-oh, well that's not good." Paige said, stating the obvious.

::Odin turned back around to face her. The lights hadn't begun to flicker, which was his usual warning sign.:: "So far, it hasn't been that great an inconvenience."

"Let's hope the lights don't go out though." Paige said, not afraid of the dark. Though it was more convenient. "Do you have any candles or flashlights?" She asked her.

"One in the kitchen, one in the bathroom, one by the television stand," ::Odin told her. He'd realized after the first outage the necessity of being prepared.::

"Oh, okay." Paige said before turning her attention back towards the movie.

::Odin also returned his attention to the television; the movie was nearly over, and they had the thrilling conclusion, and then the very ironic last minute to watch.::

Two minutes later, the lights began to flicker. "Oh, come on. It's almost over." She muttered, as if that would make the lights from going out.

::The lights continued to flicker, causing the picture on the television to flicker as well. They stabilized for a moment, and then went out. With a sigh, Odin rose from the sofa to find his flashlight.::

Paige let out a noise of disappointment when the lights went off, "Darn." She muttered.

::Odin found the flashlight after a moment or two of stumbling in the dark. Finger on the power button, he turned it on, and a beam of light filled the room.:: "Let there be light."

Paige stayed on the couch, and when she heard Odin stumble about, she got worried that he'd hurt himself. However, before she could get up to help him, the flashlight went on. Laughing softly she looked around, "Should I...go?" She asked him hesitantly.
