#31 - [Accidental Video Post]

[totallyinaband]

[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]

Good luck with that. You staying for lunch?

[hashrap]

What're you having?

[totallyinaband]

Left-overs, mainly. I think there's quiche.

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

[hashrap]

Anything less healthy and more greasy, preferably deep-fried?

[totallyinaband]

Sorry, wrong house, dude. You'd probably have better luck finding that sort of stuff at your place.

There is mac and cheese if you desperately need something to clog your arteries.

[hashrap]

[ SHRUG. ] Sounds good enough.

[totallyinaband]

[Stephen moves to the kitchen and starts putting things together for lunch. He shouts back into the other room.]

So what have you been up to? Staying out of trouble?

[hashrap]

[ might as well get up and follow him. ]

I plead the fifth.

[totallyinaband]

I'll take that as a no, then.

[hashrap]

Who knows. I'm not answering that question without a lawyer present.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

You've- oh, right yeah. Guess I should apologize for interrupting, I guess.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Nah. Don't worry about it. [He grins again and ruffles his hair a little as he stretches.]

You figure out what you wanna do when you're older? 'Cause they keep raggin' on us about it in our school, and it's getting annoying.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[He coughs a little on the macaroni at that, before shaking his head, and wiping his mouth with his sleeve.] Well, at least there's always someone in the house.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't fit into one of their neatly defined slots where they can shove you into the least appropriate future path possible?

[She shakes her head]

I still want to pursue psychoanalysis. But apparently knowing that while still so young means I don't actually know what I want and to pursue that would be a waste of time.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Well. I mean, I don't really know what I want to do. I mean, I kinda like fish and water and stuff, so maybe something like marine biology, but- without all the science-y stuff. So, I guess that I don't really have any idea.

[He relaxes more.]

It seems like that'd be a good fit for you. Did they actually say that you're too young to know what you wanna do?

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

I guess there's always Seaworld.

[Gentle teasing smirk there for you, Demyx]

Not in so many words. They just give me this knowing little look every time I mention it, like at any moment I'll snap out of this "dream" and start taking my future seriously.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm not moving offices. They wanted me to move, but I said no.

You have no idea how much I love that Dim Sum restaurant.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. Got a promotion at work. More cases are gonna be coming in now, and bigger ones too!

[withloadedguns.livejournal.com]

Guess you'll be busier now.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Hah! Yeah, I'll be the best Shamu they've ever seen.

[Although that's actually not a bad idea, maybe. He'll hold onto that thought.]

Aren't they supposed to give those to everyone that says 'astronaut' or 'superhero' or 'president' or something?

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

If it happens, I want discount on entry.

[And that smirk is actually almost a smile now]

You would think that their scepticism would be reserved for those with such juvenile responses but no. Perhaps they are merely concerned that I don't comply with "normal" enough to be able to diagnose others.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

And a free hat.

Well, screw whatever 'normal' is. What's normal, anyway? No one here fits their definition, and I'll bet that they don't even fit their own definitions!

[rehymenator]

Well the book is cruel. She's much too precious to just let wail like that.

[ If he sounds a little personally distressed, well, he is. ]

[rehymenator]

I'm not sad. This isn't a meltdown. I'm just-- overwhelmed. You're all ready to fly now [ choking up again ] just spread your beautiful wings!
