[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 ]

[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.]
no subject
Wanted to join a family.
And apparently, they're family. ]
Doesn't have to be Italy. I mean, I'm with Ada that no one should skip seeing things there, but it could be the Maldives or New Zealand.
no subject
[Emily is completely starstruck by this description, they're both doing a very good job of making it sound romantic! Maybe that's why she isn't expecting Junko.]
Hey, Joshua wants his daughter back for a bit!
[Maybe they're taking a break or something but: Wow Nathan gets to be surrounded by half the ladies. Lucky dude, huh.]
no subject
But he also knows she's her mother's daughter, knows how insane that sounds, and fights whatever dry mouth he just got by grinning at Emily and at Ariel, sounding very sheepish. ]
Oh, we're losing the baby? She's been so well behaved too, but can't let a man lose his daughter.
no subject
Exactly. I'll go ahead and take her, I actually have to head back to the studio for a little while. [She looks at Nathan and her expression is far more gentle this time around, when she speaks the sentiment is genuine.] It was nice to meet you, Nathan, have Emily give you my number in case you need anything.
[She's not flirting by any means, but she might be taking the baby in order to somewhat-maybe-consider flirting with someone else. And soon enough Audrey can be heard calling Emily's name.]
Well, shit. [... Emily didn't actually want to go, but it's not like Nathan's going anywhere, right?] I'll see you later, be nice, Junko.
[Said girl casts a glowering look.] I'm always nice! Don't listen to them.
no subject
[ ... Her number, huh? Well, if she was team mom it probably makes sense she would be the one who would be the one to call, huh. He barely has time to process that though before Emily is called off, he waves her off, and he thus is left just with Junko and...
He's standing there looking like an idiot and hoping not one noticed the pill jangle in this pocket. Whatever. ]
Hey, no doubts here! [ She is, after all, Nariko's daughter. ]
no subject
[She is certainly Nariko's daughter because that was a response that would have fit said woman at Junko's age, full of righteous indignation and a little bit of self-consciousness.] Do you mind if I eat some of this? I know it's early but I'm starving.
[You'd think that since she's never met her uncle Junko might be uncomfortable, but for her this is a benefit of pack life: She might not know him personally but he's designated as family so they'll figure it out.] How are you doing? All of this is kind of intense.
[Despite asking she's already spooning pasta salad into the one cup she can find because Junko is goddamn hungry.]
no subject
I'm dealing - like you said, it's intense. [ A beat ] Don't worry about it though, I won't tell you ate it.
[ If anyone cares.
Fuck him both of those answers were a little vague ]
no subject
[He does get an approving smile for not ratting her out. Audrey really would kind of throw a fit if she found out Junko ate before everyone else, though no one is trying to make anyone starve around here. Junko's just being a little lazy, ultimately.]
If you need space or whatever you have to say something. Everyone's really nice but we can be a suffocating lot. [Well, maybe that's just more Junko and Nariko??? Well, maybe Octavio, too ...]
no subject
[ That's said with good humor, but he's actually thinking of his sister as he says it. He would never, never say a bad word against her. But at the same time, it's not like he wasn't aware of how overwhelming she could be, and that while ultimately it was his fault, he fell into that hole because of all the attention she paid him all their childhood. He takes a step forward and leans his elbows on the counter. ]
But no, no, you don't need to read into it that much [ (jangle) ] I can't just say "oh I need space" the minute I'm meeting my niece.
no subject
[Guiltless suffocating! And her mom is definitely on that list, she's well aware of how overbearing she can be and if it's justified there's no apology, but otherwise she makes an attempt to tone it down. Who knows if that'll be the case now that they're adults, though.]
I'm sorry uncle Nathan, but I read into everything. That's my character flaw. [Munch, much.] Well, if you're not going to say that, can I ask why you keep making noise when you move?
[Even car or house keys aren't usually that rattle-y.]
no subject
God it's gross how that phrase makes him shiver somewhere deep inside, and he's genuinely unable to identify if it's with pleasure or disgust or even some other emotion he wouldn't want to qualify. Why would he even feel disgust though? He wanted a family. He wants a family. He is so in love with the idea that he can have a real relationship with his nieces and nephews. The man smiles at her, as if to say "it's okay" and then rummages into his pocket to produce the pill bottle (which is not unmarked, but the marks on it show he's reusing a niquil container for something obviously not that and setting it on the counter. ]
Just these. I didn't really want to set them down anywhere and I've just been carrying them all day.
[ Not like she'll know what they are anyway, right? Right. ]
no subject
[She might recognize them if not for how deeply colored those containers were, but there's no sense of recognition in Junko's eyes when she looks at the bottle. In fact, she nods as if she totally gets it (and of course she doesn't).] Your main bathroom should be done soon, I think Audrey wanted help putting up the medicine cabinet, actually. It's probably easy to lose important stuff like that.
[Junko, trusting as she is when it comes to her family, figures he probably needs them for some reason or another and just doesn't want to lose them - it doesn't even occur to her to ask why he feels the need to carry those specific pills.]
So ... [She bites her lip a bit, considers how to word this:] I mean, mom said you were pretty excited to meet us all so, got any questions? Should we hug?
[Or something?]
