[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 ]

[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
[ He's not met an ugly baby ]
Goes for it here
[Ada is a naturally quiet woman but she was apparently stealthy enough to just sort of appear this time, and it's enough to even throw Emily, making the redhead jolt and clutch Ariel protectively until she realizes who it is. To be fair, they were both focused on the kid and Ada didn't have anything heavy or noisy on her, so -]
I mean, to be fair I really was unlucky all around, I wasn't a very cute kid either. [Emily didn't really hit her stride until seventeen, maybe that's why she's so lenient with Yamato at times. Ada, meanwhile, tears her eyes from Veronica to focus on Nathan and her packmate(s). It's difficult.]
It doesn't really matter, no matter what you end up looking like your parents always love you, that's what counts.
I'm basking in the delicious
He's pretty sure that Nariko might want to claw this woman's eyes out for that. And she's family with her? Nathan feels a sick, burning weight in his gut which isn't borne out of anything he's felt in the last month, and he leans forward, putting a smile on his face and taking his hand off of Ariel, mostly because he jumped a little from Ada too. ]
Yeah, that's pretty much the dream, right? This girl's got that going for her.
[ Or at least, he assumes so. Hopes so. That lumberjack looked legit enough. Still, Nathan shakes his head and ]
As long as we're sharing childhood trauma though, [ ones which aren't actual abuse you bitch ] scrawny kid here - I had asthma and was way shorter than Nariko until I was like nineteen.
no subject
[Ada nods vaguely, leaning against the island and checking something on her phone.]
You know, I have to ask what it was like, having her as an older sister.
[While Emily is mildly surprised to find Nathan in the state he is Ada ... Is not. At all. But that alone shows how ignorant she is, which is unfortunate.]
I'm kind of amused Ada makes bad impressions on so many people
Nathan tries hard not to give her the side eye, and manages it by way of making the side eye look natural because he's focusing on Emily and Ariel. He takes his time looking at the baby and shrugs a little, admitting ] Eh, a few times.
[ Six inch heels, that is. He looks over at Ada proper though once he's sure only the jungle of the pills on his pocket give anything away and replies, ]
Never had any older sisters other than her! So to me, she's pretty much the best person in the world, always looked out for me and the closest family I have.
she's doing it on purpose here a little but yeah she's a spiky thing with soft insides basically
[This earns a vaguely amused stare from Ada, who says,] Don't you have two?
[Emily:] No, you're basically weird Team Mom or whatever.
Ah. [What an odd description, but Ada won't fault that.] I'm glad to hear it, though. To be honest, Nathan, I was a little worried. Nariko doesn't usually talk about her family.
[So his sudden appearance was justifiably alarming at the edges.]
I love her a lot it's fuzzy and warm to me
What, Nariko isn't Team Mom?
[ Color him surprised! And alarmed! But more to the point, Nathan feels a pang of something else inside of him, and he resists the urge to either grab his chest for the pain he feels it in it or grab the pill bottle in his pocket and throw it across the room so as to banish his own weakness. Because that was at the core of all this, right? At the funeral, she admitted she accepted it, she made her choice, but it's still one he pushed on her? It's still a gross, dark feeling he's had. And one which makes him so, so, so, so...
He wants to be with her family. His family. He... ] Well... [ It hurts, she doesn't talk about him (of course she doesn't) ] I'm here now, so you'll have a lot to talk about. Might not swear under that Alpha of yours, but I can be part of the family. Sort of.
lmao I'm glad especially since she's such a complex weirdo
Ultimately Ada must be thinking along the same lines because she doesn't actually say anything, and anyone who didn't know her might not realize what the expression really was.]
Of course you can be. [That's her concession, one Ada is making for Nariko as much as Masaomi. It's important to keep the peace, after all.] There's no one here who won't be concerned for you, in fact they'll all grow on you soon enough. Or forcibly.
[The kids, especially, were sort of like unrestrained barnacles but that was alright - that was how kids were supposed to be, in the end.]
I do look forward to giving her more screentime but I think the complexity is good
He... ]
Well, that was the hope. Or well, why I moved even! [ He grins ] Call it a little romantic, but I was hoping I could get to know my nieces and nephews. Nariko and I were real close as kids [ He should die ] but we kind of drifted apart as adults. [ He wanted to be with her always ] Sad it took mom passing, but... I asked, and she answered. Then your Alpha up and said he could find me a house on the cheap and... here we are.
So really, I'm grateful.
Poor Joshua unpacking her issues he's got some work to do
[Ada wouldn't claim that Nariko was any better. Honestly, considering that woman's need for gestures left and right, Nariko might be the definition of romantic.] You get older and everything changes, it's an awful thing to bring you together but at least it wasn't either of you. [Survival of the fittest, that, and it sounds like the siblings were much closer to each other than either was to their mother, so the words are a bit tailored.
Emily .... Has a strange look on her face, kind of like she wants to say something but doesn't feel quite comfortable. Since she's technically sitting in front of Ada the elder woman can't see her expression.]
She mentioned you worked with music.
[That's a sort of 'so what the fuck are you going to do about work, bro' question.]
not like he doesn't have shit to unpack too tbh
Either of them...
He nods, solemnly. For his part, he really was sad. And he really did plan the whole thing. How fucked up was that? Still... ]
Conductor, yeah. The city here's big enough it has its own symphony so my manager [ . . . ] Has been trying to get me into talks there, but obviously I can't just swoop in. Worst comes to worst, [ He airquotes both worsts ] I'll your Europe again once or twice a year. Oooor... find some other gig. Music's ben my life or a while.
A very fair point
I'm sure you'll be able to manage it, though, it seems like you're rather renowned, I think we'd be lucky to have someone with such experience.
[See, Ada can be nice!] Is there anything you're looking forward to, now that you're back in the states?
Mutual healing through bondage I guess
Family.
He wanted it. He needed it. He was terrified of it. (and of losing it) and Nariko was right here finally and- And he needed to get out of his own head ]
No matter how renowned I may or may not be it's not a big deal as long as I'm just here in a little family house. Still, if everything goes well I might be able to show everyone a thing or two too. That'll be the hope anyway. [ He hums a little. ] Man though... short term, I guess the first thing is going to some restaurant and getting totally sick from the portions? [ That might be a little sarcastic, but. ] Nariko's always been the one with the appetite of the two of us, but hey, I really am sort of looking forward to some grease.
Best title for a bdsm positive self help book
[Considering her lifestyle it's very, very rare of Ada to eat that kind of food but, well, she's not above going and just spending time with people. And since Nathan doesn't seem as awful as she had been somewhat predicting ... She could take an afternoon off, perhaps.]
Do they not have grease in Europe? [It's a stupid question from Emily but she can't help but ask it.]
There are some guilty pleasure exceptions but the food is generally much healthier, that's all. No one does awful, artery clogging food like Americans.
Seems about right tbh
That's good. ]
Portions are a little different too - you hear about Italians eating a lot and having a lot of courses and they really do, but like if you showed any random Roman what America calls a pizza they'd probably be aghast at the size of the whole thing.
[ Plus some other details, but.. ]
no subject
[It's an innocent enough suggestion, but Ada shakes her head.]
I have no desire to go anywhere near Italy, thank you, but it would be a shame for those who haven't seen it to skip it.
[That trip might just go on without her, which would be just fine.]

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
