[Futurelandia] An Eventful Valentines and beyond (happy new year)
[ Nathan moved into tow and that was awkward, Yamato and Nariko probably have some sort of a relationship and that's awkward, Yamato's been trying to make new friends so that's interesting, and Masaomi and Nariko are hopefully solid as anything after that trip, Nathan and Yamato complications aside. There's a new pack member that Masaomi met at a party and Nariko met in class. It's been over a month since the new year began and the old one concluded.
A lot's changed and yet not a lot had at all.
And frankly, things were probably just going to change that much more in the coming days and weeks.this might be edited to something more poetic later once we conclude more stuff about that other log ]

Unfortunately between the barren state of his new home and the sheer number of people involved Nariko wasn't given a chance to speak with Nathan the first night he arrived or the following day. Joshua, Tom, Sullivan, and Octavio were all helping with the bigger pieces of furniture while Nariko sorted boxes under the supervision of one mate or the other (after all, she wasn't supposed to lift anything even vaguely heavy). Junko, Olivia, Audrey, Ada, Veronica, and Koji were meant to help with smaller details - general things like kitchen and living room furniture which could safely be handled by them.
It was Emily who ended up with Ariel in her lap, sitting at Nathan's new dining room table. She's just gotten back from buying everything they'll need for the actual housewarming party, which is mostly a whole lot of food because the entire pack is going to be hungry after this - there's just enough of them to get the bulk of it done in a single day. And that's pretty much the goal, and some of the point of having them all help in the first place. The other part is to make sure everyone knows who Nathan is, and that Nathan knows who Everyone is, too. So until the real work is over and done with Nariko's concerns will remain in the back of her head while she directs things from one place to another. Right now it's the redhead, in a comfy top and old jeans, who asks for Nathan's attention.]
So, hey.
[Leave it to Emily to just pop up with a question to a stranger.] What was it like living overseas?
[That's not what she really wants to ask but the guy looks weirdly out of time and space, so it's best to start with something easy.]
Rofl I think I love this combination
But there's pills in his pocket. It makes a noise when he walks. He knows it does and he feels a little bad, particularly with a cute baby girl in front of him who is also a redhead ... being held by a redhead who had a nose and tongue piercing. He inhales, shakes his head, and ]
Pretty different. I've lived there... a while, might be more weird to be not overseas.
[ He's talking too fast, he's talking too fast...
Inhale, exhale. Deep breathes ]
yup it was almost Audrey but I figured Emily needed some starring time tbh
Yeah, I imagine readjusting will be shit, and the time difference is going to be a bitch, too.
[She tries to give him a reassuring smile.] If you're up to it, I can let you know who everyone is?
[Knowledge is power, right? Maybe he'd feel a little better if some of the strangers in his new house had names and occupations and facts behind them.]
Yeah I agree she hasn't gotten to do near enough for how cool she is
Fuck him the jet lag really is bad. ]
Sure, why not? I... got and introduction already, but damned if I remember them all yet.
[ That probably sounded too callous. He tried to say that as something roguishly charming, smiling on the end of it to assure her, but the smile faltered and now he sort of runs his hand through his hair and sits next to her, causing the pills to jingle in his pocket ]
Emily.
[ There, he showed he knows her name! ]
the downside of being the logical and non-dramatic one
[She goes on as if he didn't try much of anything because, frankly, even if she didn't he's her Alpha Bitch's younger brother. That's a whole can of worms Emily feels no need to open on a long term basis, but she's not cruel enough to completely ignore the guy when he's so visibly whacked out, either.]
Sullivan - who a lot of us call 'Sully' - is the oldest, and the most 'adult'. He's a really great guy, but very nervous and lacking in confidence. He's the one you want to go to if you need serious advice or your taxes done.
[She points him out because he's going from one room to another with a water bottle.]
Ada needs more screentime too. I guess the Idiot Trio is the most robbed tho
Same university... huh.
Noted ]
Probably which is unfair I feel bad, but it's hard to not adore the kida family
[Sullivan really doesn't dress well, which is likely part of his problem.]
Tom. [Who is apparently carrying like three boxes at once.] Is a really nice guy, works as a bouncer at a club so he's usually gone come mid-evening, but if you need anything he'll definitely make time. Kind of suffers from being a little indecisive.
[And of course Octavio is following close behind, so:]/small> And that's Octavio, who is about as smooth as a craggly rock at the bottom of the sea, but don't tell him that. He wouldn't believe you anyway. He's kind of an idiot, but not anymore or less than most men, I suppose.
[Maybe that's not something she should have said to another man...]
Eeeh the Kidas are our focus characters anyway, the rest are ultimately supporting
Of lemonade, of course. Maybe with a bit of beet in it.
Okay no, no, focus. Tom... nodded. Man this pack really is diverse - a Japanese Alpha with a half-Egyptian mate and a black dude, white dude, hispanic dude, several more white women. Like he had said back at the funeral, very international. Not that he's one to talk or anything, but he nods along with her descriptions ]
Seems fun. For both of them, even, when they aren't sweating doing my labor.
[ Weird joke. Uh- ]
Thanks for that, by the way.
That's true
For what? Helping with the moving?
[Ariel gurgles suddenly, works her arms up and down because something is interesting the still small baby.]
That's no big deal, it's what family does. And, sure, you're distance family, but still. We want you to feel comfortable with us.
no subject
Family, huh? [ He loves family. Has always loved the idea of family. Never had anything against the pack life but also never thought it could be family - not in some bigoted way, just like... happened to never think of it. He wonders if Nariko thinks that way. He should ask. That's- ] That's why I moved, really, to be closer to my family... so. Nice to meet you guys.
[ Cute gurgling baby tho ]
no subject
[Just saying, dude. You'd be so much hotter if you could calm the fuck down. She moves it along, though.]
That's Ada, she's Italian and a little abrasive at times, but she just takes warming up, so don't be surprised if she isn't welcoming or if she seems harsh. You'll never find someone more loyal. [Except for Nariko, maybe.] Lana also goes to school with us, but she's got a late day today so you'll see her later on.
[Veronica is not too far off, texting on her phone before she delicately unwraps some plates.]
That's Veronica, who joined in November. Her previous back was dissolving at the seams so we took her in and she's been doing well ever since. Very perky, very cloud-cuckoolander, very much belongs to Koji.
no subject
That said he's always been more happy and charming than this, so maybe he's just a little bit tense. He exhales, relaxing into the chair so that he's slouching just a bit and closing his eyes just a minute, pinching his sinuses as he rights himself, opening them just in time to see Veronica. ]
They look pretty similar, are they related? [ Or is that something he shouldn't ask... ]
no subject
It turns out that they're both from the same country. Veronica was brought over as a baby, but Ada didn't come over the water until a few years ago.
[She shouldn't have mentioned them so close together, though Nathan might have still noticed either way. It seems like with each passing day Veronica resembles Ada a little more ... In the back of her head Emily is more than aware that they can't feasibly bury the truth for much longer. Veronica deserves to know, anyway.]
Audrey is Junko's best friend, she's a sassy little thing but a lot smarter than people give her credit for. She's applying to a pretty distinguished school for the fall, or planning to, anyway. She sleeps around a bit so don't be surprised if she hits on you or something. Olivia and Ariel here are the last of the kids. Olivia's fourteen and she's just joined with her father Joshua, the big redheaded dude. I don't know too much about them but they're pretty chill overall so it should be fine.
no subject
Still, Nathan... looks mildly perplexed at the Audrey comment and thinks if she's Junko's friend... ]
Wouldn't that make Audrey kinda young then?
[ Probably a legal adult and all but... still. The man leans forward now, to look at Ariel and poke her in the stomach gently. She's so cute - a smile does start to come up on his face ]
no subject
She'll be seventeen in a few months.
[But still pretty young, yes. But Audrey being house pet is a whole other thing, and so Emily smiles as Ariel is poked and giggles as a result, rocking back and forth against Emily's stomach and then the tiny hand reaches out for Nathan's fingers.]
You like kids?
no subject
. . . Um, well, whatever, that's apparently the end of that, so he just latches on to the kid thing, smiling as he spreads his hands wide for the girl, allowing her to take hold of them, maybe pull them or bite them or whatever, grinning as he does. ]
Love 'em! Always have, actually... I mean, I'm the youngest so maybe it's just a wish fulfillment thing, but babies are cute.
no subject
[Ariel is apparently all about this interaction, because she pulls at one hand and the second is also grabbed, but she tries to nipple on it, cooing happily with her big eyes smiling.]
My boyfriend and I are going to have a kid soon, I'm actually really looking forward to it.
no subject
Yeah, they're pretty much the cutest things ever. I don't get to play with them too much, and I'm a little sad I missed my sister's. [ But that said - ] But oh, congratulations! I hope that goes well for you! That's got to be exciting.
no subject
Ariel's excited, though!!! The cooing is answered with an excited, small squeal.]
Thanks. It's that, and a little scary, but I've worked really hard to finish school and all that, so. It's about time.
[She really is excited ... Though Martin isn't going first, of course. Best not to mention his sisters mate/husband/whatever is going to be the father ...]
So, no girlfriend?
no subject
Still...
Inhale ]
No, no girlfriend. Kind of a whole fresh start thing here! So I guess similar to your whole about time thing.
no subject
[It's difficult to believe a guy like him wouldn't have had someone over so many years but she's not going to pry into that.] Well, you're cute, I'm sure you'll get there quicker than you know how to handle and everything will work out okay.
[Ariel is either an easily amused child or a very ticklish one because she bursts into enough squealing and funny baby laughter that Veronica looks up from what she's doing briefly.]
You're good with her.
no subject
It's- ]
She's just really cute! Can't help it.
no subject
Right? Some babies are just ugly but Ariel is genuinely goddamn adorable.
[This is clearly what they're going to bond over.]
no subject
[ Gosh. That said, he pulls his finger out of her mouth, to brush it under her chin and tickling her a little. He squeezes her cheek a little, and smiles a bit more.
Man, he's not good at smiles right now, is he?
Jeez. ]
no subject
[Fat and scaly with eczema that no one bothered to do anything about other than spread fanny cream on. Emily had been an awful, unpleasant-to-look-at baby, okay, but she's hot now so it's fine.]
(no subject)
Goes for it here
I'm basking in the delicious
(no subject)
I'm kind of amused Ada makes bad impressions on so many people
she's doing it on purpose here a little but yeah she's a spiky thing with soft insides basically
I love her a lot it's fuzzy and warm to me
lmao I'm glad especially since she's such a complex weirdo
I do look forward to giving her more screentime but I think the complexity is good
Poor Joshua unpacking her issues he's got some work to do
not like he doesn't have shit to unpack too tbh
A very fair point
Mutual healing through bondage I guess
Best title for a bdsm positive self help book
Seems about right tbh

PS a lot of this I'm making up tell me if you disapprove
Nah it's all good! teeechnically his description isn't at all inaccurate
Based on other discussions and such I assumed his is a mostly verbal abuse
yup! a lot of verbal sweetness/cruel/sweet again

This entire thread tells me all the women in this pack are extroverts to one degree or another
Rofl it's kind of amazing yeah. Tbh a lot of the guys probably ended up introverty because I am
well that's usually how it goes and it works out well since I can pretend to play extroverts
