#31 - [Accidental Video Post]

[The device clicks on to a dark room. A bed is positioned in the centre, where two figures sleep. After a few moments, the peace is interrupted by a high-pitch wail. Many may recognise it as the familiar cry of oh-god-I-am-a-baby-and-I-just-woke-up-alone-what-is-this? The figure nearest the camera rolls over, and is unmistakably the bleary-eyed face of Stephen Stills. He groans and shoves the figure next to him in the shoulder.]

Cas! Wake up. It's your turn. How the hell do you sleep through that, anyway?





[Ooc: FAMILY DAY CUUUUUUUURSE! So basically, a bunch of us got together and decided to make the most elaborate and ridiculous Family Day Curse ever. This family tree is This-a-way for those of you who are interested. For the cliffnotes - Poncho-Kun, Hanna, and Stephen are brothers. Stephen is married to Castiel and Rose Lalonde is their daughter. Dave Strider is Nameless Dude's bastard son via Hooker. Demyx may or may not be related to them all somehow but lives near by anyway. There will be various action threads for various times in their family history, but also feel free to video or audio post if you feel your char needs to WTF at this apparent new family. :-D]

And...sandwiches aren't food anymore?

[totallyinaband]

Oh. Well. If there's sandwiches.

[Yeah, teasing his older brother is a bit like poking a sleeping lion. But he's still never been able to resist the temptation to do it the few times he has the upper hand.]

[totallyinaband]

Don't give up before you've tried, kiddo. It's not like you.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

And anybody can flip a pancake or a fried egg.

[totallyinaband]

You were always good at pancakes.

[Stephen moves to go pour himself some more coffee and leans against the counter island.]

Does Dave know what high school he wants to go to next year? I can't seem to get a straight answer out of Rose about it. Or a lot of things, usually.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Mm. No.



Have you tried talking to her?

[totallyinaband]

Haha. Very funny, man.

I think she's scared, actually. She doesn't have that many friends at school. I keep trying to tell her that high school is way better than middle school, but I don't think she quite believes me.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

It's called choosing one's battles. Anyway, it hardly seems worth it for how long I have left there.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

It's better, but it's not great. You remember.

[totallyinaband]

If that how you feel, then that's fair. You can always try for a fresh start when you start school again.

[totallyinaband]

Oh course I remember. I dated girls in high school.

[/shudder]

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

All right. So you know it's better, but not great.

Maybe try being honest. Rather than... excited.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

I suppose so.

[She shrugs, focusing on her food again. Of course, this assumes she even bothers signing up for orchestra again in another show of pretending she has people she shares common interests with]

[totallyinaband]

[And not that Stephen is really ever a bundle of excitement himself, but you know. He gets your point, bro.]

You're probably right, dude. I mean, high school will suck or it won't. There's nothing I can really do about it.

[totallyinaband]

[He glances up over his dinner and takes a deep breath.]

Look, kiddo. I'm not going to tell you that high school in wonderful, because it's not. But I promise you that it is still a million times better than middle school EVER was for me. Kids get less judgmental after 15. So you know, just soldier through it.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Just be her dad.



One of them.

fffffffffff Clint you are so supportive of your brother's homosexual lifestyle :-D

[totallyinaband]

Thanks, man. I'll give that one a try.

He's trying, okay? He's really, really trying...

Staring at them might turn out to be a little illegal, just as a warning. Chris Hansen would like you to take a seat.

[hashrap]

She can come to me, I'm not that kind of Knight.

He appreciates the effort /holds :-D

[totallyinaband]

[You're ridiculous]

[totallyinaband]

[That earns you an affectionate cuff across the back of the head.]

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

[She looks up at this, and there's a very faint hint of gratitude underneath the sullenness]

I had no intention of doing anything but.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

That much I think I had pretty much gathered for myself.

[hashrap]

I'm calling Child Protective Services.
