[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 ]

[ ... She graduates this year. ... Shit does that mean Yamato does too? He somehow never even connected that. But he shouldn't betray that and he will pray for her. But he wishes that he could help her...
He'll think of something ]
no subject
Whatever I end up doing, it's not as if I'll need Chemistry for it. [... That's so awful to say, realizing that she's lost sight of her own dreams.]
I'm sorry, I'd say it's a surprise that you were good with law stuff, but it actually makes complete sense.
no subject
... What was her dream? He realizes he'd talk about her here and there about her longer term plans, but he hasn't really absorbed it into himself. Sullivan frowns just a little, and he sighs. ]
I know. I'm an accountant, after all.
[ He shakes his head ] So I get not needing a subject or three.
no subject
You know my suffering, then! And it's like once I know I won't ever need it, all of the motivation runs out of me.
[Audrey sighs and lets her eyes slip shut and --] What do you think of kids?
no subject
[ There, tat's the thing. ... Should she be closing her eyes this was her show after all--
Oh. Uh. ]
I helped out with the three Kida kids, and that was... not terrible. [ . . . That's weird to say to someone their age isn't it. Hum- ] Same as any other guy though, I want progeny but I've always been less sure about the responsibility. Plus just no one was having kids in this pack since Koji for a long time.
no subject
That's true, and that's a pretty big gap. [Says Audrey, who wasn't too old when Koji was first born anyway.]
What's the sense in having a kid that you get to call yours if you aren't there to raise it? [There's nothing accusing about the question itself, she's genuinely curious! Men and women seem to have incredibly different ways of viewing children and the decision to bring them into the world. And since that whole lovely series of events with Masaomi, it's been a revolving topic for her.]
no subject
[ . . . It's a bad answer which follows up a bad answer and he knows it. Not for the first time, Sullivan reaches a hand up which looked like he was running his hand through his bangs only to find no bangs there because he's long since gone bald in the front. He sighs at that, and then looks at the TV screen, wondering to himself how he got into this situation in the first place ]
But-- but, Masaomi would probably just tell you it's instinct. Honestly I would too but I know - know - that's a pretty bad answer so... It's more like the older you get, the more close to dying you get, the more it's like "oh shit I should make an impact." And for a lotta us, the best and maybe even easiest - for the act, I know. Not... the whole thing - is to go and have a kid. Plus if someone has your kid, it's - well you know you're at least pretty special to them.
But me - I mean. Like I said, if the pack was more down with kids I might've tried to have one like that [ . . . Ada wouldn't have consented either but he'll ignore that if she's willing to ] but because I wanted to be responsible, I didn't think I should and so... I didn't.
[ A beat ]
... I used to be more hip.
[ Maybe. ]
no subject
Wow, that reminds me of why I used to think men are completely goddamn awful.
[It's a good thing they're not doing anything vaguely sexual right now because even though it's an honest response that she doesn't even blame him for it's just so fucking selfish.]
no subject
Sorry.
[ Before he knows she isn't blaming him and he didn't do anything to her. He recognizes it the moment after he says it, and h thinks of things his therapist has said, and so hastens to correct himself - ]
I mean - I mean I get that, it makes sense.
[ That's not a great salvage, and so he frowns and, ] My therapist tells me to get better about the instant sorrys for things I didn't do it's just me guilting people in reverse.
[ There. It's more honesty ]
no subject
Kind of sounds like your therapist is right.
[Because it is a reach around way of guilting someone and that is a thing that could easily happen so subconsciously that one would logically need a therapist to help undo the behavior.]
Sullivan, do you feel like you belong here?
[In the pack.]
no subject
I definitely used to. I've been worrying about it in the last few years, but Masa and Ada and Nariko and the other older people - they're all my best friends. [ Nariko might not think to call him that ever, Ada probably wouldn't, and Masaomi might but Sullivan can't help but think that he was just being nice. So in the end, it might be one-sided, but he was sincere. ] Do you?
[ She gave up her family to be here, depending on how you looked at it, so he sure as hell hopes so ]
no subject
They are. [It's not going to matter from her, she knows that, but she can't not say something to help someone she cares about.
She grins when he turns the question around, and looks back at the screen. It takes her a long time to answer, which might be worrying, but when she does speak it's measured, like every word is taking a small chunk of her ability to process.]
I really hate to be bored, Sully. I think that's why even when things were awful I never really told anyone. It wasn't because I was scared - I mean, I was - but because I don't really know how to function without something be difficult. My parents. Yamato. Junko. This whole thing about children. I can't ever just let things be calm.
[When she sighs it seems to require every muscle in her body. How odd.] There are a lot of times where I don't feel as if I fit the right way. I'm sure I do when I'm willing to let everyone bang me, but the person Junko sees every day is probably not a person who fits in this environment. But, you know, I went in knowing that. I will always wonder if Masaomi knew that, too.
[She raises a finger, twirls it:] So it's both a 'yes' and a 'no'!
no subject
Well, she didn't necessarily need to be reassured, but she might like some confirmation. ]
Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise, Masa can see more of a person than they know of themselves. [ And he squeezes her gently ] So - so - I don't think it's a bad thing, you being here. I know I like it.
no subject
It's an utter testament to how close you guys are that you call him 'Masa'.
[Now if only it didn't remind her of the dough.]
no subject
[ Seriously, it was baaaaad.
Really bad.
Really awfully bad.
He laughs just thinking about it. ]
no subject
You know, none of you would be where you are without the other. I hope it's like that for the rest of us, too.
[Herself, Koji, Junko, Yamato, and Veronica. The younger ones.]
I'm kind of jealous.
no subject
Pretty sure it is. Koji's a little shit -- like I said -- but... he's shaped a lot by all the rest of you. Same for Yamato, he's nothing without you and Junko. Junko's helped a lot by you. From what I've seen of that Olivia girl, she'll be have an impression put on her by everyone else.
[ A beat ]
And going back to babies, pretty sure we'll have yet another little generation here soon.
no subject
[Hadn't she already said yes, though? Probably. Well. That's a problem for another night.]
What do you think of that girl, anyway? I don't think ever met anyone so tightly wound in my entire life.
no subject
[ Though maybe it's something native to her character and he's overestimating it. But still, both of them - Nariko and Masaomi, of course. (Or Koji and Veronica, really...) Sullivan nods, looking back at the screen and humming a bit ]
I guess that's a choice we all need to make. And try not to be selfish.
[ Or swept up too much in it ]
no subject
[If Sullivan is right then just being in a pack would help Olivia relax enough to get a dick in her as soon as possible, whether her dad is ready to accept that reality or not. Audrey isn't the religious type but she might just pray for that troubled redhead.]
Yeah, that's probably not going to happen and there's going to be like ten kids within the next year.
no subject
[ But that said, going back to Olivia, he shakes his head, looking off at the far wall and groans out, ] Try being closer to three times her age than not and a man. [ Not that Olivia would consider him attractive or anything... probably? He's pretty sure. But he frowns, bites his lip, and then exhales.
Kids. It's a heavy topic, and instead he sort of temporarily finds a respite in the Olivia topic ]
So - so, who do you think clears up her tension?
[ We are now betting on who dicks her. Apparently. Or he's trying to make it that as a cool humor moment ]
no subject
[For his own good.]
I have no idea, but if someone is already giving that a try then they aren't doing a good job. I'm not even sure Tom is chill enough to handle a girl that seems so high maintenance.
[And that trait seems a bit detached from Olivia's frustrations. She didn't seem to have a personality that was inherently mellow, and most of the dudes in this house were pretty chill.]
no subject
[ He wonders which way she means it, honestly... in his head, it's because he's pretty sure that Joshua guy can beat the shit out of him, but he's capable of thinking of at least five other reasons if he sat down and put his mind to it. ]
Tom'd get fed up, yeah. So probably someone who can - uh. Y'know, appease her? Or someone who just plows through it.
[ . . . He's a fan of plowing through it but he knows he doesn't do it as well as any of the Kida boys could ]
no subject
Yamato, maybe? If he's in a bossy mood. Or Koji, if only because eventually she'd have to stop talking.
[That's something that would sound so abominable out of context.]
What about Octavio?
[He's kind of the last option, so she can't help but wonder.]
no subject
[ How many failed romances does Octavio have behind him? He's a people pleaser, but he's a people pleaser to such an extent that while he's funny, likable! By all account a creative lover--! He's also pretty prone to getting stepped all over as he enters the pace of the other party. So he could handle her, but he would handle her so well that it's more like she's handling him.
Or at least, that's how Sully sees it. As his friend, of course. ]
Her and Koji are the nightmare pair though. Uh- of the big red guy, I mean. [ It came up in a casual conversation the other day. ]
