[Futurelandia] The Thanksgiving and Early December Post

[ It's been around a month since everything started to change. And frankly, a damn sure more things have changed even in that month. There's simplistic ones, such as Masaomi getting a vasectomy which even if he tried to keep it on the downlow, everyone found out about because of what a whiner he was for his week of medical abstinence and everyone felt after that for how he proceeded to fuck every relevant woman in the house and who would sleep with him out of the house into submission for the next two or three days. Everyone sort of had a rude awakening there.

But then, some changes were bigger and more serious. A new member joined there pack (Veroncia) not all that long ago, and it was much to everyone except some of the adult's surprise. Everyone had to learn their new pecking order and where she fit in with the rest of them. Masaomi and Nariko continued their rituals and continued their seeing other people, to mixed results from both. Audrey was hanging around the house more, though she hadn't had the recommended Talk with Masaomi about joining, despite making this something of a second home for her. And of course, Junko's training continued despite the week long hiatus from it.

Everyone was changing, and everyone was adapting. Yamato even had a sexy car now. And at the culmination of everything, a sort of milestone in the midst of everything, there was Thanksgiving, the lead up to it, and the follow up after it leading into December. A time when a lot of people hung out in one house, and then things got weirdly tense for a variety of reasons. God bess us, every one. ]

No.

[ and she has polished off that candy of hers by now, by the by. But she slides into her seat next to Ariel and crosses her arms once she's buckled in, frustrated that she's still giving off a scent here, just a little. She frowns, and- ]

Olivia, don't be too spoiled, even if you are a princess. [ That's Joshua, having just gotten the last of it in and closed the trunk. The man grunts, and he shuts the door behind him, settling into his front seat to drive them back ]

[Pft. She can't relate to ever being that indignant with anyone, really, so it's strangely cute in an old person nostalgic kind of way. But she knows better than to push it, already having gone through a whole confrontation with her earlier in the day.]

Honestly, Joshua, girls are supposed to be spoiled! That's how they grow up to be demanding enough to never take any shit from men!

[........ Maybe he was a little right in thinking that Olivia shouldn't be more like her.]

[ Olivia latches on to that with - ] Yeah dad, what she said!

[ Joshua, now starting the car, revs the engine and shakes his head, getting in on the banter with, ] As long as you're not refusing to take my crap, young lady. Still have to listen to me for now!

[ She was nearing adulthood, but she wasn't there yet ]

Spoiled in the way that their father's will always love them and provide what's needed, to be fair.

[Not necessarily just what they want, or giving in to their young child's every other whim.] I am in no way advocating that you don't listen to your father. Just don't think you'll get through life being quiet, either.

[Because that's how you get stomped on.]

[ Those are... not bad life lessons, even if Joshua is incredibly wary of them. The man snorts out of his nose, and he shifts gears in the car, getting them on the road as he shakes his head. He doesn't want to argue that point, because in that is some sort of a trap. Instead, he changes the subject a bit, ]

So Nariko, did you plan for the gingerbread stuff being tonight? You got the time for it?

Hm? Oh, yeah! No one is expecting me to be home anytime soon.

[Yamato didn't have practice so he was either at home or helping Junko and Koji. Most of the adults were working, and Audrey should actually still be finishing club stuff at school. Masaomi was probably banging Lisa or something. Or actually working. That was more than likely something he continued to do.]

[ Huh. Well, whatever, it's not like it wasn't close enough to the middle of the day, just the early evening. She'd hung out at their place into the early evening fairly often all things considered, so he leaves it at that. ]

Alright, cool. Y'ear that, Olivia? No problems on your end with homework, right?

[ And from the backseat- ] No, it's cool here too.

[The ease that he accepts things with occasionally gets her, but Nariko is coming to accept that it's probably got something to do with being a man. She's almost a little sad that she doesn't have an excuse to help with homework! It'd been fun with Junko, but then her only daughter did enjoy learning. Even if it was Math.

... They're going about their way so she goes back to singing underneath her breathe. It makes her happy, okay.]

[ What should he doing, questioning her motives or demanding she go home? Or demanding she- well the alternative would be stupid, she already was spending time with him. And it's probably the simple sense of happiness which comes with that that sees him humming (he can't really sing, or at least doesn't think he can) trying to get in tune with her.

Olivia back here is dying btw ]

[Olivia can continue to go ahead and die in the back of the car because Nariko really does love to sing, and it's even better when someone joins her. If anything the teenage girl should just be grateful that Nariko doesn't break out into all-out, emotive singing. It's still a relatively quiet thing which can only just barely be heard over the radio.]

[ That is rude, Nariko. That is super rude.

But Joshua, for his part, just continues his own light humming, matching more Nariko's notes than the radio's if they're different songs. In fact, if they are different he'll be turning down the radio precisely for that reason. As it continues (and it's really not that long of drive back to his place, so it might), Olivia settles back into her seat with crossed arms and tapping her foot a little with the beat. ... Her dad is so off it though. ]

[It's a fair trade for being groped in a very half-assed manner.

She does follow the radio but it's fine to turn it down, too! There's really something incredibly silly and fun about this, it just kind of warms her heart and makes things feel particularly romantic in that idealized way as they begin to cross the part of town that is all made up for Christmas.

And when the song ends ...]

Man, I love all this. [Christmas!!!!! It's the best!!!! ... But now, for all that she'd said and thought before she suddenly missed her kids nearly to the point of tears. It was a shame Olivia might jump out of her skin if Nariko tried to hug her.]

[ Olivia really would jump out of her skin a little, mostly from embarrassment. But you don't know, in time, that might change. People always change over time, as they get more used to the forces that enter their lives.

Joshua, hearing her say that... his lips curl up into a bigger smile. Because in this moment, glancing at some of the lights as they make the turn, comes to a little bit of a realization of his own. Fact is, even if no one was waiting for her at her home (apparently), he appreciated her here. And he felt the need to express that. ]

Same here, the holidays are always fun. [ A beat, and Olivia herself glances over curiously as he father adds ] I love that you're here with us.

[That's ... Coming out of nowhere in her eyes, but that only makes her appreciate what he's saying that much more. He likes that she's here with him? Even when they aren't having sex? She can't help grinning stupidly and if it were possible for waves of fluff to come out of her then they would be.]

Really? [He said so, she's not doubting him it's just -] I love that I'm here with you. All of you.

[She didn't forget about you, Olivia.

Also, man, Joshua's so gonna get sucked off as soon as both kids are busy.]

[ Joshua smiles even broader at that, them now entering the neighborhood that his condo's in. The music thrums in the car, and he's actually incredibly flattered that she responded. That grin of hers was really cute. In fact, if he wasn't driving, he'd totally just lean over and nuzzle her face. Or stroke it. Or pinch her cheek? Or something like that. If no one was waiting for her at home, and she was doing this much for him, she deserved the affection. It's a rationalization, but it also feels...

Right?

Good. Both of them, probably. He chuckles, and ] Yeah really. Pretty sure we're all gettin' all used to you being around. Even if Olive's 'bout to say "gag me with a spoon," right?

[ Olivia, now spoken for by both adults, starts in the back seat and - ] For fuck's sake dad, I'm not like a million years old.

If I took a shot for every time you cursed, I'd be sloshed, kiddo. [It's not really a chide by any means, more a genuine, overall sort of comment. Junko and Yamato probably cursed too but they sure as hell didn't do it too much around her!] Besides, whatever you might say I like being around. You're great.

[Both of them.]

Plus any chance I get to decorate is the best.

[ Wow, wow! ]

She's right, you know. You gotta clean up that mouth've yours one of these days.

[ It's a forever struggle of his, to try and do that. The fact of the matter is that Olivia actually could be perfectly polite, but make her even slightly stressed, aroused, or both and she turned into a sailor. And right now she's at at least some level of both, her scent still leaking out of her, pulsing a bit when Nariko compliments her for the second time. she smooths out her skirt and rolls her eyes ]

Whatever dad, I'm not a little kid, even if I am on decorating duty today.

[ HAH. Well. ] That still going to be a girl's thing, or am I invited now?

[Well, they're ignoring the scent thing, right? She's a teenager, so it's going to happen and there's no sense in embarrassing the poor girl about that. When Nariko was her age there wasn't any way to turn herself off once it all got started, so she can sort of relate.

Although she never touched anyone randomly and out in public without that being the plan ahead of time so ...]

What's childish about decorating duty? It's the most important! Whether everything ends up looking cool or not is entirely up to whoever has all the supplies! [But to answer Joshua's question:] Whether it's a girl's thing or not is up to Olivia. I'll be happy either way.

[ Joshua is totally ignoring the scent thing, not even sure he wants to begin to process whatever is going on there, be it his daughter's insecurities mixed with hormones or his little girl actually being attracted to his ... .. His... to Nariko? Yeah, to Nariko. Girlfriend wouldn't be the right word, even if his mind went there. He shakes his head. But he does throw in his two cents to the conversation as they pull into the condo's parking lot ]

Wouldn't wanna leave ya' hanging, Nariko, but don't think I'll be stuck with nothing to do either. Got some work I could be bussing on now.

[ Even if, you know, he would like to be spend time with her. Still, the power's been given to Olivia, so his daughter- ]

I-- I think I'd like that! I mean, spending time with just you, Ms. Kida? If that's not fucked up or nothing to take you from dad.

[That he has work to do is a little disappointing but it can't be helped. In fact, it might be more helpful to give him a chance to sit and concentrate on all that. There's something to be said for knowing you could work in peace, after all. Besides, she hadn't lied before! Spending time with Olivia would be fun.]

No, it's perfectly fine! If he's got work to do anyway then it's better to get it done now, and I'm an all purpose type! If anything I can clearly spend our decorating time teaching you new curse words in different languages!

[She's mostly teasing Joshua with this, though it's a good opportunity to reach over and squeeze his leg, too, kind of companionably - it's kind of an intimate gesture in the end but she wanted to touch him]

Edited 2015-12-25 05:55 (UTC)

[ It's not a lie, he did have work - but he also was mostly saying that so that Olivia would have an out to push him aside or make Nariko feel less guilty about pushing him aside depending on what they wanted. The work could easily be pushed off to some other time - you really do need to do a lot of work around this time of year, even if you are just checking the books and such, but it was nothing he couldn't just stay up all night and handle. But he grunts, planning to leave it at that other than to roll his eyes.

...

But the squeeze makes him look over at her, grin, and kiss her just off center of her lips. The car's parked by now, so they can all get out and carry the stuff in. ]

Come on, I don't do that much-- [ That's Olivia, but she sees their kiss, frowns a little, and shakes her head ] Well, you don't need to kiss me!

[ . . .

Yeah she's just going to get out of the car and go inside without helping to unpack other than to just grab the bag of candy near her. later older people and baby ]

[... Teenagers are so weird sometimes.]

Since we're alone!

[She leans in to take a real kiss this time, a long and slow one that's meant to rile him up just a tad.] I guess us girls will just have to put the house together while you're working away.

[Not that she'd had anything serious planned one way or the other! She just did want to fit in a little time with him before she needed to get home for the night.] Whatever will I do without you, Mr. Bromwell?

[ They really, really are. He's a father of one and he doesn't get them. He wishes she did, she had more of them and one of them is a known little shit who he'd gotten a warning call from another parent over. Still, Joshua does get riled up by the kiss, lingering on her lips and licking them once she pulls back. ]

That's-- [ She was teasing him. He squirmed under it, but while he could just roll over or roll into it, he decides to try at being playful back, grinning some ] Waste away with desire, I'd bet.

[ That was murmured, and he shrugs after it to try and sell the bit ]

Probably. [The trick with Nariko is that he probably can't say much that she wouldn't be prepared for. It was often the sweeter, gentler things which truly knocked her off balance.] But I think that means that you should should fuck me up the ass before I leave. Spank me back to life, while you're at it.

[You can't play soft ball with her, because she just gets right into it. But at least she isn't feeling him up! The desire is there for it, though.

Poor Olivia was kind of right about them.]

[ Slowly, slowly, he's been learning that. It's been hard going, honestly. But he grunts, blushes up something awful, and tries to stand his grown. The bearded man grins, and he gives her a little pat on the shoulder himself, realizes that was lame, and then slides the hand down to grip one of her thighs ]

I'll beat that ass of yours raw, promise.

[ There, he did it! ... Also Ariel's whining in the back seat, Olivia might have shut the door but that was a gust of cold air there ]
