#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]

[Stephen pulls up a chair next to hers with his own pancake in hand.]

Kindergarten can be a lot of fun, Rose. You'll make new friends. And you guys get naptime and everything.

Plus, Dad needs you out of the house so I can get actual work done for once.

[A grin and an affectionate hair-ruffle go with that one.]

I can have naptime here too...why do I need to be out of the house? I can look after myself.

[Grouchy stabbing at pancakes. She won't make new friends. They'll all be dumb and stupid, she just knows it]

[totallyinaband]

I know that, kiddo. But unfortunately the eyes of the law disagree with us on that one.

[He drops an arm casually around the back of her chair as he gets to work on his own pancakes.]

You'll like school, Rose. There's lots of books there.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Maybe the law needs its eyes checked.

[But there's a tiny hint of curiosity as he mentions books. In a way that's trying so hard not to be but she has to ask anyway]

What kind of books?

[totallyinaband]

[He leans in to whisper conspiratorially.]

Every kind of book EVER. There's a whole library full of books you can take out for FREE without even having to bug one of your dads into taking you there.

[Even though the rest of her expression is trying so hard not to be impressed, her eyes do light up at that]

It'd have to be really big to have that many books.

[totallyinaband]

Believe me. I personally inspected it and it is totally huge.

[She stares at what's left of her pancake, obviously thinking this over]

Promise?

[totallyinaband]

Promise.

[He gives her back a rub before standing up again to get started on her lunch.]

What kind of sandwich do you want, sweetie?

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

I have to decide now?

[She huffs, but thinks about that for a moment]

I want the purple jelly.

[totallyinaband]

You want some peanut butter on that, or do you take it straight?

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Just the jelly. I want purple, not purple and brown.

[Because clearly the colour is what's important here]

[totallyinaband]

One jelly-and-jelly-alone sandwich coming right up.

[She nods, satisfied, and finishes up the last of her pancake]
