[Futurelandia] It's April and We're under the sheets.

[gunslingerqueen]

[A lot of incredibly weird things have managed to happen, but that shouldn't be a surprise by now: They're an incredibly weird pack, after all. While Nariko and Ada's fighting has become far more subtle, certain kids have become more serious about school and relationships, other kids are moping over the exit of their mates - a family reunion has ended. It's time to get back into the usual swing of things before it all goes to shit.

Emily's gonna get knocked up.

Finals are going to happen.

Audrey will probably make a decision about a thing or two.

Veronica is lil' fat by now, but she wears it well.

They are in the grip of Spring-Almost-Wanting-Summer, and that's perfect for all sorts of ~crazy shenanigans.]

[prettiestremix]

[They get a whole week and a half off for Spring Break because half the school has to be fumigated so while certain knocked up teenagers get to just stay home, Junko got together with Robin and they came up with a plan for Spring Break. It is a plan which has, of all things, put a group of people onto a train. Charlotte, Robin, Tiffany, Jasmine, Junko, plus one new girl are all on this particular train headed towards a house on the beach.

(It is entirely possible for Fred and Olivia to be along for this too, just for the record but I'm not going to assume.)

While Charlotte hasn't left Yamato's side, Junko remains across from her brother and she's been glaring at him for twenty minutes straight. Before that she was looking at her pictures of Rin, missing him so awfully that it twisted her scent, which hasn't quite calmed itself since Valentine's Day, into something a little lonely and almost pathetic.

But that's not important.

What's important is that, as the other part of her brother's brain? She's fucking irritated with him.]

[boobielife]

[ Fred and Olivia are there too, much to the chagrin of certain... other... parties... in the case of one of them . In fact, Fred and Olivia are sitting together at Yamato's request, because he hopes that he would be a calming influence on the girl. Other than that request (which Fred answered obediently, albeit really reluctantly to leave Charlotte behind and right next to Yamato alone) he mostly let Junko plan this trip and determine everyone's seating.

Some of them are probably chatting amongst themselves or sparing glances at Yamato, who is obviously the star here.

But...

For his part, he's looking confused and maybe even guilty at Junko as they roll down the tracks. What? Also how did you get all these people and why didn't he know this was happening? Also... should he ask...

Also her scent probably put everyone on edge.

...

Let's talk to Charlotte? Or someone else? Who else is around... ]

[prettiestremix]

[Jasmine is fitting in very well, she's talking with Tiffany very animatedly, and since Olivia hasn't started foaming at the mouth just yet Junko figures she must be alright, too. Charlotte is getting an absolute kick out of the train ride itself, more than a little amazed that Junko thought to choose this instead of a shorter plane ride or a road trip!

There are only two occupants who seem happy to keep to themselves: The New Girl is tan, her short-ish hair appears a bale brown, while she types she sometimes pushes it back, and there's a literal neon rainbow of color that's hidden by her natural hue. Freckles dot the bridge of her nose and her cheeks, and she's pretty absorbed in whatever she's writing. Across from her is their final female component, a pale young woman with jet black hair that falls down to her waist. She's dressed a little modestly but it does a shitty job of hiding a huge rack, if Robin doesn't move too suddenly it's easy to mistake her for an incredibly beautiful doll - not that she's aware of it, or anyone else around her, really.

Which means that Yamato isn't getting away from his irritated sister that easily, in fact she kicks his shoe with her high heel.]

Stop. Poaching.

[She's talking about Olivia, of course, because on top of having realized that girl is the oil to Junko's water, Yamato's being an idiot and possibly incurring their father's justified wrath! And making their mother's - his mate, his lover, the actual mother of his child - life much worse!]

[boobielife]

H-hey! I -- [ Wasn't trying to?

Is that true?

Charlotte, can you save him here? It seems no one else will? ... Probably not. But Yamato winces, pulling back his foot to himself and groaning a bit at the impact of the heel on his foot. Come on man, that's mean... ] -- What're you talking about?

[ Is he playing dumb or genuinely dumb.

The real question of the ages ]

[prettiestremix]

'I'll be your Daddy if you're mine' or whatever the fuck you actually said.

[Oh, was she not supposed to mention Olivia's weird kink?? Oh fucking well.] You either stop or you don't cry when dad beats the shit out of you.

[It's entirely possible that Junko is inflating the seriousness of the matter because, frankly, she's still more afraid of their father than she is of Yamato. But it still seems like a bad idea all around. Charlotte, though, isn't trying to come to Yamato's rescue but she's certainly confused.]

... She's very demanding, isn't she?

[It might be a reasonable question since Charlotte has never seen Junko like this.]

[boobielife]

[ Yamato, in this moment, does not look at all like the Alpha he is and/or aspires to be in this moment. Rather, his shoulders are slumped forward and in the fact of Junko's assault on both his dignity and his shoes, he looks positively servile. He hopes that no one else is in here is paying attention to her. They have this cart more or less to themselves but maybe, hopefully, everyone else is too busy paying attention to their own stuff?

... Yeah, that'd be nice. ] I um-- I uh. I didn't say it like that...

[ Beats the shit out of him... Um.

But wasn't he- ... Was he supposed to challenge her.

... Charlotte if you hung on his arm that would b nice? He uh- ] She's-- uh. Like that sometimes?

[prettiestremix]

I literally don't want to know the exact wording.

[Look, she's horny and lonely and worried, this is not a good combination for Junko, who can think so rapidly that she might easily spin circles around someone Charlotte's age if she put effort into it. Yamato's still her future Alpha so he's still welcome to challenge her, sure, but he's also her elder brother. They have a weird balance going on.]

Hm. [Charlotte is positively mild in comparison, she doesn't hold onto his arm but she does rest her hand on his thigh, which is either protective or a vague flirtation.] ... I can't pretend that I agree, but you have to make your own decisions, right? There's no use in worrying about the consequences, Junko, sometimes people have to learn in their own way.

[She's older and wise enough to realize that Junko's just worried and Yamato's just trying to grow.] Besides, this seems like such a nice vacation, it's a shame to waste it being upset!

[They both get a dazzling smile which, yes, is mostly unnoticed by the majority of their crew, with the exception of Robin, who has turned her head their way, vaguely inquisitive.]

[milkyhoney]

[So maybe this trip was a complete mistake.

Sure, she adored Yamato and the dates they'd gone on were great and the sex was outright phenomenal. But there were some themes here that just didn't sit right with her and despite the influence of her hormones she'd been relieved to exit the living room and the mess inside of it. The ocean air was much better, far more calming and a great way to ignore things like packs and hierarchies.

As far as she'd known the horny redhead and the younger blonde guy were upstairs. Tiffany had seen Robin flit off after a butler (a fucking butler) came and asked if she'd like a drink. Tiffany had asked for a mimosa and tried to call the soft spoken girl back but Robin probably hadn't heard her.

Which was really just fine. A good view and alcohol never hurt anyone.]

I'm so excited to be trying something new here

[boobielife]

[ Yamato had walked out of the room with Charlotte, Jasmine, and Junko with only his pants on, not nothing to put on a shirt for the tropical resort that they were all on. There was a lot of summer breeze in the area so... well, it didn't really matter that much. Plus he did have some muscles and such. Either way, he knocks on the door before stepping out onto the balcony where Tiffany's up.

And then comes on out wit ha smile ]

Hey, you busy?

I am glad but also let's hope I don't mess up somehow

[milkyhoney]

[She could almost smell him before she saw him, christ.

But Tiffany gives him the smile that belongs to Yamato - the guy is weirdly soothing in general.]

Not even a little. Did you know they've got butlers? They'll apparently get you whatever you want until they go home!

[Is she living this up? Fuck yes.]

Have fun?

[He clearly did but she's doing a good job at playing things Cool (tm).]

Hey it's a new character, not like you can mess it up

[boobielife]

A lot of it, actually!

[ Should he have been more subtle, less arrogant? Honestly, he's not sure. Yamato isn't sure of much right now, other than his blood was on fire and he had a strong urge to go forth and claim everyone. It's part of why he didn't bother to put a shirt on, and why some part of him was tempted to not put the pants back on. But all the same, you almost wouldn't know it. Oh sure, the scent of him is still strong, but he laughs in a way which is at once confident and awkward following that, and...

Well. ]

Sorry to hoist Olivia on you. I-- I did not know about the butlers though, that's awesome.

[ Wow, topic change? Oh well. He leans over a railing now, crossing his arm to get a view of the ocean.

... Man. ]

I suppose that is technically true

[milkyhoney]

[She laughs, sips, and does absolutely nothing to keep herself from his scent. On the one hand its just useless, he's radiating an unbelievable desire to run around and fuck, after all, and there's nothing wrong with that. She just doesn't want to look easy so early on.]

She's fine. I'm not sure what you're gonna do with her for the rest of the trip, though.

[After all the only other dude here was Fred, and Yamato was going to have a lot of people on his plate at once and Olivia didn't seem like the type that knew how to play right with others ... But that's another concern for another time. Her drink is put off to the side and she leans back in her chair to just kind of stare at his back and-]

You know, I sort of wondered why you never called me back.

[Or she didn't call him or the holidays were a whirlwind or the five thousand other reasons they never became anything solid.]

But I think it makes a little more sense now.

it is it is !! plus im still excited

[boobielife]

[ For a moment, he blinks, looking a little bit confused, and then a little bit pensive, as if he were thinking about... one of those. Probably Olivia? Yeah, probably Olivia. But then he processes the second part of that and he turns to face her, leaning back against the rail and looking a little bit sheepish...

He almost, almost says something defensive there. But then he... ]

Would you believe that I seriously didn't connect you were looking for me to ask you out?

[ He did come to ask her out on dates, of course, more about the end of January, when he showed up to thank her for how much she had helped him both with Nariko and Junko. The thing of it is, it's an honest answer, for him. But he hopes she knows him enough to get that. ]

[thunderchild]

[ Veronica is now several months pregnant. Having gotten pregnant in November and it being either a little before or a little after spring break now (so that we can include either other sibling if we want shrug), it's now been the better part of five to six months, and she's showing a fair bit more. This has no doubt made it harder for her at school, at the house, and just in life in general. It's also made things harder for Koji, but he knows better than to whine about it.

His relationship with Veronica has deepened, and he has shown a lot more naked concern for her, even been gentle at times. But in part because of the talk they had following that night where they moved his Uncle Nathan in, he has also endeavored to not be too gentle, or too complacent with her. After all, she fell for him, and everything he is. So he's been trying to step up his asshole game too. This has included, but not been limited to trying to have him and Junko indulge all their mutual kinks, forcing Veronica and Junko to fight over him at least a little. Bending over and fucking (or at least trying to do so) Nariko, Emily, and Audrey, and trying to invoke Veronica's jealousy here and there.

Of curse, she's been known to retaliate. And he almost expects something as he walks into her room after school today. ]

starts it off with a bang?? or something

[iridescenza]

[In the last few weeks it hasn't been difficult to get a rise out of Veronica whether it had to do with Koji or not. It was a well known fact that pregnant woman could be emotional, and Veronica could apparently be moved to tears over nearly anything. Someone dropped a plate and she burst out into tears, a girl in her class made fun of her for being so visibly knocked out and Veronica wailed so awfully that one of the teacher had come into the bathroom to try and calm her down. She was a mess, and it was fucking awful and thank goodness Koji had the sense to avoid complaining because she would undoubtedly refuse to accept that whatever the fuck he went through compared to her.

For instance, Veronica didn't have some version of a Junko trying to fuck her all the goddamn time. And even when she'd come to accept that the two of them were just inseparable in their own way, there was still Audrey. Their last run in, barely two weeks ago, had ended in an actual fight over Koji and Veronica had been so livid that she locked her door, and refused to come to dinner. Audrey ... Kept a bag of pees over one eye, because Veronica had one hell of a right hook.

Whether that was what lead her to taking it up the ass from one of Koji's teammates was hard to say, but that's the scene he walks in on. It's worth noting, to some degree, that she's not as turned on as she could be so while the encounter itself is perfectly willing it's more like she's going through the motions and Mr. Rando is having a grand time, nearing his end and spanking her. Neither of them has noticed Koji yet.]

Hahaha I love it. ( also for the record he decided to not go easy on her because she was offended )

[thunderchild]

[ Koji was aware of Veronica's roller coaster of emotions, at least to come extent. But he also knew that if he were to coddle her entirely, it would be something that she... maybe she would appreciate it for a moment, but it's something she would quickly turn on him for. It's a lesson he learned back during that whole move in thing, and while he was trying to become able to take a hint, it wasn't necessarily something that he was the best at. His own pendulum tended to swing wildly one way or the other.

Perhaps this wasn't the healthiest way to do things.

But all the same, he couldn't say this was what he was expecting. What, did she have a thing for younger men? He hummed a little, stepping into the room with a far colder petulance than he expected, closing the door softly behind him, ]

[iridescenza]

[They're a basket of unhealthy, always have been and probably always will be.

But it really does seem as if she's got a thing for younger types, or maybe that was another way to try and get underneath his skin. It's difficult to say because Koji has stepped in on them in the very last moment of the whole affair, Mr. Partner cums and so does Veronica though not with the same level of general satisfaction that can be obtained with Koji. If she knew he was there she'd have definitely played it up to eleven.

As it stands though, she only realizes anything has gone wrong when she's very suddenly left empty.]

Hey, why'd you ....

[Annnd there's baby daddy. No wonder. There's not a bit of guilt or irritation, she just looks at him, basically waits for his reaction. Even Veronica is too prideful to plead forgiveness after going this far.]

[thunderchild]

[ Mr. Partner... wow. Koji looks at them for a long moment, and then he snorts. He tries to play it off like he's okay with this, or he's too cool for it, but he can't hide it, the annoyed, jealous glint in his eyes. He knows Veronica feels that as strong if not stronger than he does, so in a more lucid moment he might wonder if she understands. But right now, his anger growing, he sneers at his teammate as he crosses his arms ]

If you're going to cuck me, you need about five times more of limpdick over here. Hell, might as well screw the whole team at once.

[iridescenza]

I considered that, but I need more Cheetos before I can be bothered with it.

[It should have been a perfectly light hearted statement, because Cheetos were the Craving of The Week, or rather the last two weeks. But she matches Koji's jealousy with a haughty sense of self-righteousness, as if he didn't have a right to be a little ticked at her for this. But that was the problem, he got upset at all the wrong things, all the stupid little details and so what if it irritated her that he wouldn't see the bigger picture? It was easier to keep pushing at him than it was to deal with the real problem.]

Uh, I should ... go?

[Koji's pissed and Veronica's not helping the guy out so it's an understandable conclusion to end up at, and they aren't two people to get stuck in the middle of, either.]

[softpastelgrunge]

[She doesn't know how to prepare to have a kid. Or at least not the parts that speak to intent. It was the surprise knocking up that got the most attention but what the fuck were you supposed to do when the goal of sex wasn't pleasure but the actual baby part? Even though she found tons of books about how to emotionally prepare for realizing she was pregnant there weren't many about helping the process along.

So she took Nariko and Ada's advice: Prenatal vitamins, ovulation schedule, and tight clothes!

The last part was more for Masaomi's benefit and solely based on the fact that she'd been wearing a pretty epic pair of jeans on that very first, incredibly ridiculous day. But it never hurt to invoke some old habits, though maybe she should have at least warned her Alpha about what she was going to do.

Chances are he hadn't expected her to show up at his office a few minutes before closing, apparently shocking his secretary to some degree.]

Hey, am I too early?

[She looks different, too. Emily's not the overtly girly type, more jeans and a t-shirt for the sake of comfort so for her to have bothered with a soft, pale green mini dress is a testament to her excitement and dedication. Her hair is even more vibrant than usual thanks to the contrast and when she's wearing such a big smile she looks nearly as young as Veronica.

If he needs more 'we're making a kid today' signals she's got them! There was actually an e-book about that whole topic and she studied it thoroughly. ]

[generalflirt]

[ Poor Lisa, she isn't paid enough for this. Or well, actually, she is. Because she's moving up in the firm towards a newly opened position of middle management and human resources so that he can get more associated people on the clock so he can expand his holding. The market's been picking up, so he's been putting in a few more hours...

Well, he did want to fund the kids with more of his own money too, and not just the inheritance.

But all of that is swept aside as the man, the Alpha looks up to see Emily looking like that. He smirks, and then softened into a more sincere smile. He brushes back some hair, becomes aware of the fact that he forgot to shave his chin this morning all over again ( not that he ever had much facial hair, but still ) and...

Well, he closes his laptop ]

Not by much.

[softpastelgrunge]

Good!

[She strides into his personal workspace as if this wasn't the first time she'd seen the place.]

Man, I always knew you were a serious grown up but this is impressive.

[He's got like ... A job ... And everything! He always had those things but they're far more tangible now that she's putting images to her knowledge.]

If it's okay I thought we could go downtown.

[generalflirt]

Well I am a man with teenage kids and pushing forty.

[ He said sheepishly. He's ... well, he does still feel old, but he's past the point of denying that he was a professional in some capacity, at very least. He brushed back his hair and looked around the office before he signed and grinned at her sidelong. ]

Sure, you have a whole plan, huh?

[softpastelgrunge]

Yeah, but you're still so young at heart, it's easy to forget.

[After all, his age concerns aren't as obvious to her and it's still easy to see him as the unendingly playful one, as responsible as he was ill suited to his age bracket. She taps her heel against the floor, doing a piss poor job of hiding how excited she is.]

Not a whole plan, but an idea! Spontaneity is best for these kinds of things, right?

[generalflirt]

Plus I could have a poor impression of your heart, but it seems to me that you wouldn't be suited to planning out every little. As unsuited as I might be to being old.

[ Young at heart, huh? He laughed at that, rummaging some papers into his bag and putting the laptop in there too. What here did he need to bring home...?

this is probably it, right? Especially if she eats up the rest of his night. Not like he couldn't just get back to most of this tomorrow. He'd have to make one call maybe but he already has his cell ]
