[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 ]

Yes I'm super lazy with keywords
His cheeks flush at that, and he lowers his head a bit as if that would hide his eyes or his baldness. The man reaches around to brush the back of his own head, patting the hair that is there, and generally feeling a little bit awkward. But he inhales and shakes his head ]
I... I mean, if you say so. [ . . . . . .. . NO HE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAt ] Thank you.
[ Still probably not right . . . ]
I think its cool! also they're deserving of their own thread if you'd like to continue it
[Nah, it's fine.
She manages a real smile, and takes his hand. Time to go home.]
I Was just thinking that myself even if I felt bad for Nathan but oh well
... He didn't have a good topic planned. He should have. ]
AND THEN WE SKIPPED TO THE PARTY
And...
Well.
Now they're at he party. He's the guest of honor, but it's still strange. Masaomi ordered a bunch of Japanese food for the party, which seems to have overjoyed some people and annoyed some other people. For Nathan's part, he can't help but wonder if there's some message in that, but the mood overall is decent, so he thanks everyone for helping and promises to so whatever he can to repay it as they make use of of his kitchen and a small outdoor table in his modest backyard. And, slurping down a plat of soba noodles himself, he tries to talk with either his sister or her mate. Or both. ]
I am unnaturally pleased right now
Nariko had, for the most part, been forced to do nothing but delegate because even though she was barely showing, it was so easy to become exhausted. The slightest bit of heat made her nauseous, her boobs hurt, she was unbearably horny one second and then frigid the next - apparently this kid was going to be an indecisive little shit, and the following months were going to be even more hellish than they had been with Koji.
Thankfully she's free of the nausea when she sits down near him, eyeing his meal.]
You know, I wanted to make mac and cheese.
[That's a vaguely awful opening line, because the Kraft microwaveable stuff was all she could make for them without burning the house down, and until their mother let her buy groceries again. But for her it's just the image she's still got - Nathan always reading and eating macaroni and cheese.
Still an awful joke, though.]
Glad to help Let's have fun with it
That said, Nathan is actually glad to have run into her mostly alone in the kitchen. Most everyone else is outside by now, the sun set and the sky is pleasantly cool before the temperature drops down the frigid - plus someone thought ahead to give him heat lamps for his back porch. He's pretty sure he saw Koji walk past there earlier and that Olivia girl seemed to be able to appear out of nowhere, but for the most part... Yeah. He smiles, even laughs a little while waving a hand that was holding a fork in it, the other holding his bowl. He shakes his head ]
I'm not sure everyone else would get the joke.
[ But that's a sure sign he does. ]
no subject
[Even if it's not what he had wanted or what she had wanted, they could have little things kept between them, right?]
So, how do you like it? The house, not the soba, although feel free to give your opinion on that, too.
[She laid herself over the island, half closing her eyes so that he was a weird, half cut image. She'd been so worried about being alone with him all day, about what she might say or do or feel, but it was fine. Probably because they weren't really alone, at any given moment Masaomi or Yamato might come back inside, after all.
But it's good to pretend that they're perfectly normal siblings, too.]
no subject
( Incest... )
He had asked some other people about it, but none of them had really wanted to commit to saying much of anything so far. And he grunts as he shifts in his seat and looks up and around the room and over towards the statue Tom and him placed ]
It's great. I helped pick it out of course, but all the work you've done is great. [ A beat ] and I like a lot of Japanese food but I'm still not sure I get soba.
[ Slurp ]
no subject
[She had learned her lesson, thank you very much, you could do all the preplanning in the world, but a house became a home when it followed it's own ideas, and they usually came with time.]
Mm, yeah, it is a little weird, but you're definitely still eating it.
[Of course no one was going to say anything concrete, it wasn't their place, except for Yamato and Junko's, if that's specifically what he questioned. ... Mm, she probably needed to talk to Yamato eventually and see if he was alright with all of this.]
Are you feeling better, though? You were kind of a mess before.
[When he got off the plane. She's asking the question while knowing the answer, which is unfair of her, but Nariko also isn't entirely sure of what's wrong. He's tense and she's briefly heard about Audrey, but none of that is definitive enough.]
no subject
And he just answers her, ]
It's a lot weird, but I don't mind it. Aaaand... I'm better, yeah.
[ No he's not ] I mean, sorry about that, I kinda thought no one would pick me up at the airport [ Let alone all the kids (the incest-y kids...) being there to ]
no subject
[It's not like he can hide it from her, but if it makes him feel better there's at least a twenty percent chance she won't pry.]
You seriously thought that I wouldn't come get you? Even if no one else came along?
[That's actually a little hurtful ...]
no subject
[ And...
And she keeps noticing. But it's obviously, isn't it? After all, he came here alon ]
no subject
I could have put a lighter to your mouth and you would have breathed fire.
[In other words: Of course he'd been drinking. It had been terribly obvious.
But since this isn't a good conversational path:] You met everyone, right? I think they're all pretty tired, except for Lana, so hopefully all the introductions have been made.
no subject
[ That's not at all how that joke goes, but he tries it anyway, hoping that he can at least reassure her a little bit. He knows it won't but.. it'd be nice if it did, right? It'd be nice if he could make her let go of it. And really that's...
( Incest... )
Did she know? Did she know her kids were fucking? And she had come on to him at the funeral, or at least it felt that way. But way back then, all those years ago, she had said it was wrong. He had tried for years to tell her that he was normal now, that he was past it. Was all that pointless? ]
But yeah! I met everyone... Uh. I like that Joshua guy a lot, and Ada, she's pretty cool. [ A beat ] I love Junko, and Yamato's a real spitting image of... uh, someone. Maybe he's like me, haha.

Or both I guess if we want to break the rules
We could do both if Nathan has stories but I lean towards Yamato because I miss him tbh
I was feeling the same honestly. We could shelve the dark AU or the Junko Nathan or just do both
Mmmm. tbh I'd say shelve Jun/Nathan if that's okay
Okay, that makes sense to me tbh we'll finish this one and loop back
sounds good!

Walking outside reveals exactly how late it had become and there's something both unsettling and grounding about the fact that so much time has already passed. It's the sort of feeling that only feels comforting because it solidifies that there's an awfulness left in the past. Despite the occasional sniffle an rub of her face Audrey walks rather briskly, her fingers wrapped around his.
... She really doesn't want him to tell them everything that happened but that's unrealistic. She should have told Tom, though. Maybe he won't worry, though.]
no subject
It's the middle of February, so the nights are long and they start early. As they set out into the night, there isn't that much snow on the ground (it's been fairly warm, honestly) but the sun has set, and it was a little cool as they walked back towards the pack house under he light of the street lamps. The older man squeezes her hand as if that'll warm both of them up, and keeps them close together as he kept them along that path.
He considers texting Masaomi or Nariko now, but he'll do that once they're home - it'll be only four or so minutes. He hopes she isn't too cold - he didn't have a jacket, but he did have a vest on over his top - he could put it on her ]
no subject
What were your parents like?
[She's asking kind of idly, not because there's a lack of care or curiosity, but more because it's probably best to talk anyway. Eventually she might work up to what really needs to be said.]
no subject
Well, to begin with, my old man's gone - he passed away five or six years ago. [ He starts to reach her hand which wasn't holding her hand to brush his hair. Stopping himself, he grins a little though ] But my mom's really great - she's a sweet old lady who I think everyone would love. [ Mmm ] -- They were old even when I was young, by the way, they had me in their mid-forties so my mother's in her mid-eighties now, sort of at the back of a pack which's based an hour north of here. They were both sweet and attentive when I was growing up, but the whole age gap made it hard to connect when I was young, too... I didn't really connect with them until I was older.
[ He was cool when he was young, you know! ]
no subject
[Audrey was a shining example of that, though it could also be said that her father has used that aspect of their relationship against her because he knew how well it would work.]
I'm sorry about your dad, though.
[She still misses her grandpa, so she's imagining it as a thing that never really goes away, just kind of fades into acceptability over time.]
no subject
[ Because he does miss him. Not really actively, not really anymore - but he does wish that he could see the old man's face sometimes. Wish that he went out while on better terms with him. It's just useless regrets though, the sort of things you can't hold onto or qualify. ... Hardly the sort of thing anyone wants to hear out of the oldest one in the room, or the adult there to help you. Or the idiot.
Or any of the other hats he wore.
The older man does smile at her, and breaks their hand contact so he and wrap his hand around her shoulder, pulling her up against him. It's a little chilly, after all, so maybe it's better to walk like this. ]
I'm sorry about how things happened with your parents.
[ Her effective break up. It would be impossible for him not to know at last the edge of it ]
no subject
Thanks. [A pause here, because she's considering something.] He didn't tell you guys about all of it, did he?
[The yelling, the fighting, open and closed palms, trying to shove her suitcase out the window so she could get out of the house and grab it while making a run for it. ... It was pretty bad.]
no subject
[ Which is her, probably Masaomi and idk if we established if anyone else was there. Still, Sullivan answers here sincerely, because, well. She might want that as a secret. And he wasn't about to actively try to rip that from her. ]
no subject
Mm. You know, my mother always blamed me, somehow. I'm not the one that got knocked up in the back of a pontiac while I was drunk, but somehow my being born is my own fault, according to my mom.
[She shrugs.] My dad - he didn't make it better by cheating on her, made it a lot worse by trying to pit me against her and getting awful when I eventually figured out it was awful of me to do.
[Audrey is not giving the situation the depth it deserves, maybe she can't.] They're a mess. If you ever want an example of two people who were not at all suited to each other and never should have even fucked, it's them.
no subject
It's sad. But a part of what makes it sad is how normal it all is. ]
I've known people like that before. [ It's odd, for the record, that Sullivan is able to speak so clearly here, when he does have a tendency to fumble his words ]
People can really often be their own worst enemies when it comes to their happiness.
no subject
[She's quiet again, but does squint ahead because that has to be the house, right?]
... I'm sorry about how I got over the whole .... y'know.
[The age thing, the 'Audrey inferring things which were never truly said' thing.]
I guess you're right, though.
