masanari | [Futurelandia] An Eventful Valentines and beyond (happy new year)

Ew.

[The truth is that no matter how much time she has it's not going to be enough.]

Alright, so we went over it.

[Nothing left to talk about!!! They're good now!!!]

[ Now for point two, ]

So you intend to have his babies exclusively?

[ He holds up a second finger. The truth of the matter is that she probably was more concerned with her age than with who it was, at this point. But he's leading in with this question ]

Mm.

[Of course there's more, she was silly to think it might have been over that quickly.] For one thing I don't feel right having a child right now. I'm not even out of high school, I couldn't support a kid emotionally the way it would deserve, and I don't have anything against a village raising a child, but I want to be the mom. Not me and five other women.

[And that's clearly something she's gotten from Nariko.] I think I do want my first child to be his, but if it wouldn't harm us any, I wouldn't be opposed to others.

[So there was a little more to it than just Rin, though that'd been her main concern. It just seemed awful to have a kid while she still intended to go to at least four years worth of college. It also seemed pretty fucking awful to give birth to her own son/brother, if she hadn't brought this up to her dad. So, yeah.]

[ Honestly, he's not sure how he feels about that level of incest yet but they'll all need to confront that through Yamato and Nariko eventually if they have kids. Which... which he's not really thought about yet. In any case, he nods a little, because really - ]

Mmm, I wasn't really ready when I was many years older than you and kind of haphazard through things. So it makes sense. [ Okay, he accepts your logic there. He's not faulting it one way or the other, but he does now tilt his head the other way...

Should he ask about Ada? Or about Lisa? No, no, let's go with... ]

So you still think about that Ethan boy.

Oh, that.

[She shakes her head a little.] It's a technicality. Physically he's cute but emotionally, mentally, and sexually there's just ... Nothing there. It couldn't work even if I wanted it to, and I don't. The only man that has my heart is Rin, and I would sooner throw Ethan down a cliff myself than even so much as suggest I still have any feelings for that emotional stand-in excuse of a human being.

[So. Yeah.]

He was a technicality lie, just like he was a technicality boyfriend, too.

[.... Junko can go in a little when she's still salty about something.]

[ . . . Wow. ]

You know Junko, you might have a lot from me, but you have your mother's sense of dramatic tension. [ And dramatic over-reaction, that is.

He grins a bit more, a little bit nostalgic for the mix of both he can see within her. He hums, and then... ]

So how have you been doing, Junko? Should we do something together?

[It's definitely a shared trait, because none of her reaction seems over the top to her. Ethan was a shitty person and Junko was made shittier by being weak enough to fall into the whole thing. Junko Kida - Okumura will be eighty-five and still loathe Ethan. It's just a fact of life at this point.

But in the here and now, she blinks at her dad.]

You can't mess around until you're healed.

[That she immediately jumps to sex when he says that might ... Answer his question.]

I'm pretty sure I can still play a board game.

[ Or cards. Or whatever the hell else she does to relax when she isn't having sex or studying or doing something that Koji or Yamato enjoys explicitly. Still he...

Feels a little bit guilty. Does that reflect on how she sees him or how her life in general is going? ]

Oh.

[It's both - some of it's Masaomi and the fact that he's not exactly taken a huge interest in her day to day interests, but it's also the fact that basically no one but Audrey and her mother are super invested in Junko's other hobbies. Yamato definitely tries to listen but probably gets bored really quickly, and Koji listens really well but he's naturally quiet anyway. Rin hasn't had enough time to spend with her that wasn't sexual.]

You're sure? It's not like you have to be bored out of your skull on top of being stuck in bed.

[She's actually incredibly worried about coming off as uninteresting right now.]

[ Masaomi actually feels a little bit bad that she's acting like this, like he wouldn't have any interest in doing something to her and hearing her out. Maybe he could even talk about any random shit? What was she watching or reading these days? He finds he didn't know.

But he... ]

Look, as long as it's not that YuGiOh game I'm sure I'll be fine.

[ Yamato when he was ten had a phase where (after Pokémon) he got into YuGiOh and Masaomi just didn't get it at all and it's awful. Terrible. Complicated. Still he groans a little and sighs at the memory of it. His son and his card games... ]

Or no game! Whatever you want.

Your sanity hasn't quite returned from that war, I'm sure.

[It's been years!!! ... Granted it really was pretty awful, all those corny lines and shitty plots and the weird rules to the actual game itself .. It was all a mess.]

I mean, there was something I wanted to show you but I just never got around to mentioning it. Hold on.

[She slid off of the bed, quickly leaving, and coming back in near record time. The only sign that she ran up the stairs is the slightly labored breathing and how messily she's holding a small pile of stuff.]

So - there's this game, it's called 'A Dark Room', you sort of rebuild society over time and you have to allocate resources and save people and it's really weird. But I can leave it on for ages when I'm home without everyone getting eaten by bears or whatever.

[Honestly, now that she's sure she isn't bothering him Junko's practically jumping at the seams, bringing her computer back to life. Her desktop's wallpaper is one of their more recent family pictures, but it doesn't take her long to pull it up so that Masaomi can play it.]

It was pretty bad, okay.

[ And he's pretty sure Yamato's still into those collectable card games. Just not YuGiOh now.

But he digresses.

He's not sure what he expected, but he didn't quite expect her to run out of the room and run back as fast as she did. He stares at the door to the room, waiting for her to come back or perhaps Sully or Audrey or Ada to walk in while she's out. But when Junko's back just as fast he puts on smile for her and --

Huh. Well, he cozies up to her and waits for her to explain more. ]

Aaah, so you wanted me to give it a whirl?

Mmhm! I mean, you have to pay attention to all sorts of stuff at once, it requires a lot of managing and there's a story that goes along with it, so I thought it would be great since you're stuck in bed.

[Something to keep his mind engaged, maybe relieve a little bit of the soul-sucking boredom. She gets the browser up and running and hands it over to him ... Though it's up to Masaomi how he's going to hold the laptop so his junk isn't bothered. Thankfully Junko's laptop is pretty damn thin.]

[ He's been using his own before now, just prop it up a little on his ankles, and he's pretty sure he can manage it. Still, he hums a little - oh, right in the bowser? Neat? He nods as she offers it and then- oh, he should make a lame joke. ]

Oh, but my daughter just gave me her laptop, aren't I supposed to check all your emails and facebook messages to see all the untoward things now?

[ Not that he's making an effort to do that yet ]

[Yet?!]

You've already seen Audrey's boobs and I doubt you'd care about my collection of anime porn.

[There's literally nothing in her facebook but her email ...

Anyway, she gets her embroidery hoop out of the messy pile of colors - which are all different lengths and thicknesses of thread, and she's gonna get back to the design she was working on last week without much comment. It's just plain words, and it's currently at 'Life is' and she's working on the 'a'.]

And even if you did you shouldn't look at it anyway.

I thought kids these days never paid for or downloaded porn, because it's all up for streaming and whatever.

[ He says this with an airy tone, but it's mostly so that he could distract himself from having to start this game that he's never done before. But then... well, she started it blind once too, right? ... Well no, it's junko. She probably looked up a bunch of shit first.

But okay, let's just...

Start it... ]

I didn't pay for any of it. It's all fan art and gifs and stuff like that. I don't like sound when it comes to porn.

[Kind of takes her out of the moment. But while Masaomi figures out how to start the game (it's a lot of clicking, a small bit of reading as things get going) Junko loops her thread and starts working! This is literally what she does in her free time: Play a computer game, listen to some music, and embroider!

Junko might secretly be an old woman. A weird old woman.]

[ That's...

Weird? Who doesn't like sound? Oh well, he waves a hand and sets out on the reading and clicking. Okay, let's get started. It's a browser game, so it can't be that complex, can it? ]

Speaking of boobs, aren't your own a bit bigger?

Edited 2016-06-24 02:11 (UTC)

[Not really! Everything goes in steps, and like Junko mentioned after a certain point the game runs itself and it just has to be watched after - or micromanaged, if that's how one wanted to play! And the mention of her new boob size earns a small groan.]

Yes, by more than a whole cup! That's actually what I used my credit card for, I waited too long to get new bras and mom couldn't go with me since she was busy with school.

[So, in hindsight, maybe paying off her card wasn't that bad. Hindsight-lies.]

I always thought it was kind of weird that they were so small when mom's whole family is stacked but I guess I just ended up a late bloomer.

Mmm. Honestly, the person who's probably your grandmother on my side's got a larger B cup.

[ Probably. Well actually, he's distracted from the game for a moment mostly because he's still reading stuff and going through the steps as he counts off on his fingers all the possibilities. Elda was quite small, Yori-sama was what he just mentioned... ]

So it could have swung both ways.

I kind of wanted them to stay the way they were! Now I feel like everyone stares at my boobs.

[Dammit Grandma Yori why didn't your genes win out on this one! Ugh.]

And how is someone 'probably' related to me?

Ahaha... well, I don't really know who my mother is 100%. I've got a few educated guesses.

[ It's the way the pack he grew up in worked. Of course, it's hard to obscure a woman's pregnancy, but there some some level of deliberate obscurity made on the part of the pack at large. Plus they were all just raised communal style.

... Has he never talked about this with his kids?

... You know, he might not have. ]

[Either way, she attaches to an entirely different part of his past.]

So ... You never did anything with your mom? What about your dad?

[This, to Junko, is incredibly weird. Their mom had taken them to school every day, they'd had family trips, they had little traditions, actions embedded into their holidays and birthdays. Once she'd gotten over herself as a kid she'd been more than happy to show off her passed test, successful projects, numerous awards ... All of those memories had her mother, and a lot of that had been done with the hope of winning her father's attention, too.

So what the fuck kind of childhood could someone have if half their parents were gone?]

Mmm. No, I'm sure I did, I just wouldn't have recognized her as "mom" As for my father... [ He ... ] He died when I was around Koji's age. But before then, I did quite a bit with him.

[ But it does inform a lot of his opinions and actions, ultimately, that he didn't have that much of a relationship with his parents as parents. He was raised by a village. ]

Oh.

[That's depressing two times over. The fact that he didn't have recognizable memories with his own mother, that his father died so young. Junko paused, staring at her barely finished lettering.] I guess ... That kind of explains a lot.

[She wants to say 'I'm sorry' but it's in moments like this that she's reminded her dad has had a whole life before he was anyone's father. He was way too old for her to be apologizing to him? It wouldn't really do any good, especially since she's only finding something 'wrong' with his upbringing because it's affected her own.]

... What was your dad like?
