[Futurelandia] The Thanksgiving and Early December Post

[generalflirt]

[ 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. ]

[A few ago it might have made her jealous or feel generally under appreciated but Junko ... Understands where she's at in the scheme of things. Sure, it's not a good place to be, hardly ideal, but she can deal with it just fine.] You keep thanking me as if I was going to leave you to suffer! [She smiles, though, and shakes her head.]

It's fine, Yamato. Besides, after everything it was, [A pause.] ... It was nice to spend time together again.

[ Okay, let's be a little silly! Let's reach out and touch a finger on her forehead! Or somewhere else on her face if she moves, at least. He puts on some sort of voice to sound like he's a cool guy and- ]

It's not even over! Maybe we can even kiss at midnight!

[ You don't do that on New Years Eve. ]

[prettiestremix]

I think you're getting your holidays mixed up, there. [Her nose scrunches up a little at that silly touch. Should she feel kind of bad that he's just not taking her seriously? Well, probably not. Since he's opened up it's almost as if he's begun to deal with everything through humor in the same vein as their father.] I'm sorry to report to you that I'll be in bed in my most unflattering pajamas, as usual.

[It's something of a tradition. Junko wears christmas themed pajamas to bed on Christmas Even since they do presents during brunch-ish, and she wears them for the entire day since they rarely go out.] But if you'd like to try and take me from my book you're welcome to try.

[...] I sound so boring ...

[boobielife]

[ Yamato was still figuring out who he was, how he handled things. Humor was an obvious crutch, and he had adapted to it. Still... Yamato looks a little sheepish to have been shot down, even if it wasn't a serious offer. He really was too sensitive. He looks off to the side and - ]

Not more boring than me. I -- I mean, I'll just be sleeping and getting up early to make sure brunch is set.

[ No one else would... except Ada. Maybe Veronica this year ]

[prettiestremix]

[He still isn't very creative, apparently. So she has to be the one to go out on the limb here, and:]

You could always be in bed with me, and then you'll be close anyway.

[So a kiss could probably be arranged.]

[boobielife]

[ He blinks, as if he never thought of that. ... and then he widens his eyes and nods, as if he were a puppy or some shit. Apparently, even if he's not creative, he is agreeable ]

O-oh! Yeah, we can do that, then!

[prettiestremix]

[She rolls her eyes and blushes.] Don't just agree because I asked, though! You don't have to if you don't want to.

[Granted she's not entirely sure why she's worried that he might just let her push him this way and that. Maybe because Ethan was so quick to allow that when it came to any form of intimacy.] It might be nice but I get it if you want to be alone or whatever.

[Why would he even want to be alone? ... She's messing this up.]

[boobielife]

[ Okay, he can salvage this. He can... be a cool guy. Yamato brushes back his hair and then putting on a voice which is clearly meant to emulate their father, he leans forward and somewhat loudly whispers - ]

It's for the best, I'm hoping to spend every day next week with a harem bed of you, Audrey, and Nariko.

[ . . . How does that relate?! Oh, it's the novelty of being in a bed with her. ... His cheeks color even as he says it, and he looks mildly panicked as he sits there having committed to this bit ]

[prettiestremix]

[... He really needs to stop trying to be dad, but she also knows it's just what he's working off of. But she does smile, flushing a little, though it's mostly at the idea of just her and Yamato. She's allowed to enjoy that, okay.]

Is there a bed in the world big enough to handle all three of us and you? Might be fun, though.

[Especially since Audrey was comfortable with everyone in the house and their mom apparently. Did everything under the sun.]

[boobielife]

We can push together mine and yours. [ . . . ] B-but yeah, it would be fun! I --- I mean, the idea is to make you all grateful and all so. ... So yeah.

[ . . .

Can he go and die now. It's true, he was going above and beyond with all of their gifts and there might be some selfish intent! But if he's wording it like this he just wasn't managing it all that well. He groans a little and knows he should change the subject. But what- what. Could he even. Talk about. ]

[prettiestremix]

Stop. [He's getting so worked up, she can practically see his brain tripping over itself.] Tell me about your new job.

[That's a good place to start, easy and simple enough to answer, right? They don't really have to talk about anything specific in order for her to have fun or enjoy herself, that's one of the best parts of their relationship as brother and sister. Yamato just has to calm the fuck down. ]

[boobielife]

[ How much can you talk about an ice cream place? Still, he'll start out on just that, and from there, the topic'll become "hey, isn't it weird how into dad Audrey is these days?" and then onto exams and how hard they felt for him... And all sorts of other things. How much they could do on Christmas, if their dad would dress up, who would get drunk and who wouldn't...

Gossip. Fun. And then they had a long nigh ahead of them even after the creme brulee. But if you asked him, it was a fun one. ]
