( open ) we're just like how rousseau depicted man in the plain state of nature
Who: Shuu, Kaoru and you!
When: 14/11 IC; 6/2 OOC; aka today.
Where: The grocery store, the park and pretty much anywhere else around town you want.
What: Life with the Nagumos™. Today you can be part of their little sitcom by running into the two terrible demons around town.
Rating/Warning: Should be none.. other than S for Shitbabies... It's a little known fact that the N in Nagumo stands for Nope.
a - grocery store;
[GOOD MORNING CEREAL. Today it's Get Shit Done Day, which means Kaoru's out and about on the usual shopping routine for the week, restocking various household items and packing groceries into the cart. Nothing new here! What is new is this rude shitty punk who decided to tag along for the ride this time... The one that Kaoru is pointedly ignoring while leaving the cart off to the side of aisles to go peruse the shelves.]
[ And as anyone who knows said punk would know, leaving him alone is never a good idea.. it's probably why he's over here, throwing more and more stuff into the cart - most notably pretty much anything sweet or generally not very healthy.
In fact, if you're near, you might even find the guy turning towards you, two different kinds of bags of sweets in both of his hands. ]
He-y, I was wondering, which one is better..? [ .. he hums for a moment, but then answers before you probably even have a chance to answer-- ] It's both, right? [ AND INTO THE CART THEY GO.. you are truly faced with candy mountain here, friend. The stuff of legends. ]
b - park;
[Not even the park can escape Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Nope, Kaoru's been roped into flower-weaving shenanigans, which is frankly a little horrific after everything that had happened during the last event with flowers... Being a pranking shithead was fun at the time, but the aftermath was A Struggle™, okay.
Anyway, anyone wandering through the center path will be able to see one (1) reluctant demon and one (1) moron demon sitting off to the side in a patch of flowers, apparently making crowns... HOW BENIGN. Eventually, Kaoru puts the one in hand down, half-finished.]
Shuu-san... How much longer do you want to stay here? There are still other errands to finish.
[ Shuu doesn't seem as close to finished with it.. but he does look oddly focused on it?! There's apparently some dedication to these flower crowns going on here, and he shifts a little to hold his over Kaoru's head, as if he's trying to look how it'd fit. ]
Just a little bit more..! [ Judging by how far along he is, that probably means at least half an hour more, though.. but he doesn't seem concerned. ]
Ahh, it's just like I thought.. pink really suits you, Kaoru!
[ Someone please save Kaoru from his flowery fate.. ]
[Kaoru will save himself from his flower fate okay TIME TO CALL OVER YOU, INNOCENT BYSTANDER. With a hand outstretched toward the path:]
Ah— Excuse me! Do you have a moment to spare? [Don't come over it's a trap.]
c - around town;
[Those errands are going to be left perpetually unfinished, because apparently there are other things to do?! STUPID THINGS. By this point there's probably only one person here who still has a strong well of patience left and it isn't Kaoru. Do you know how much self-control it takes to maintain an air of quiet distress instead of open agitation when being literally dragged all over the city?? The answer is probably more than Kaoru has, even though a valiant effort is being made.
But oops, what's this?? The moron parade seems to be heading in your direction for some reason...!]
Hey, you over there..!
[ Polite as ever.. but they sure do just patter over to you. Or rather, Shuu patters over to you while bodily dragging Kaoru along for the ride. At least one of the two of them is smiling widely. (Hint: it's not Kaoru.) ]
Hmm, so.. how do I say this..
[ Shuu tilts his head back and forth a few times, like he's thinking, but then he speaks on. ]
This over here is my adorable granddaughter Kaoru, and I'm a little worried about her ability to make friends.. so, would you be interested in becoming her friend? Oh-- and if you already are friends, please get along well, for the sake of a poor worried family member too..! [ the chance that any of this is genuine is about 0,00001%, but hey, at least he manages to bring it fairly convincingly. ]
( ooc: JUST FOR REFERENCE'S SAKE these will obviously be threeway threads!! two for the price of one in one thread, aren't you lucky... )

no subject
Shuu is free to hog the Nagumo spotlight all he'd like accordingly, and Kaoru just sits attentively as the two of them speak. It's like a win-win situation here okay, someone else can take over the reigns with entertaining Shuu and Kaoru doesn't have to chat with a new acquaintance!]
It sounds like the two of you are very good friends.
no subject
Ehh..? I'm not so sure about that. [ About Kaoru's statement, that is, and he rests his cheeks against his fists for a moment. ]
Can someone who nags you that much really be your friend..?
[ Not that Shutendouji doesn't do the same with him, but you know.. It's Complicated. ]
no subject
Sure! If anything, you probably can't be best friends unless you complain about each other at least once in a while!
no subject
Glancing between Shuu and Seren curiously, though! Kaoru sure doesn't know how friendship works, so it's not like anything said here can be refuted or agreed with accurately.]
You don't find complaints like that unpleasant?
no subject
[ Despite the fact that Shuu insults his friends all the time back home.. shitty demon hypocrites all around.. but apparently he's making it a little more practical now, since he turns his glance from Kaoru to Seren. ]
.. he-y, you better never complain about me like that, alright..? I'll kill you, you know! [ HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS THE NAGUMO WAY. ]
no subject
[Shenna is quite honestly the best friend he could ask for. Case in point: for all of his grumbling over what Seren was doing back home, he was still willing to shorten his own lifespan for it... You don't make friends like that multiple times in a lifetime.
He beams at Shuu.]
Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure you'll complain enough for the both of us!
no subject
Seren-san is certainly a very blunt person.
no subject
Hmm, I will!
[ TOTALLY JUST.. ANSWERING JUST AS BLUNTLY..? And they're both smiling, what nerds. This is probably why they're friends to begin with.
Although his smile turns a little more pa when he glances at Kaoru. ]
Isn't that right..? I somehow feel like some people could learn a thing or two from it.. [ :) ]
no subject
[they are such nerds.]
I think being honest is a good thing! [a pause] Most of the time.
no subject
I don't believe that there is anything wrong with someone who truthfully speaks their mind. Rather, a person as blunt as Seren-san is refreshing, isn't that so?
["Refreshing"........]
no subject
But he'll totally grin widely at Seren and Kaoru's statements. ]
I think it's great! This way, you always know when someone is being rude to you, and you can handle it straight away!
[ Somehow whenever Shuu says "handle", it sounds more like "toss off a cliff". ]
no subject
... Why do I get the feeling you two don't hang around many honest people?
no subject
Glancing back to Seren at that, though. HE'S NOT WRONG.]
Rather... people being blunt and speaking their mind in such a manner is rare. For me, at least. [Can't speak for Shoe over yonder.]
no subject
People being honest to your face is su-per rare where we come from.
[ Shuu, bitter over this?? What are you talking about, he is not bitter, he says bitterly with a bitter expression.. ]
SOMEHOW I MISSED THIS
NO WORRIES CAPN
[Kaoru got the impression that it's just the way Seren is?!]
no you did it on purpose we're totally onto you
No way, if anyone can keep it up, it's this guy! [ What are these expectations.. ] And you better make sure to never lie about just how badly you want to be friends with me!
[ Ah, see, there it is, the ulterior motive. ]
whoops you caught me
[That includes you too, Kaoru. There's no escape now.
And wow, Shuu... at least Seren's just going to roll with it...]
But I really do want to be friends with you, Shuu! I mean, you kind of seem like you need it...
you were the villain all along.....
But oh, there's some Grade A bluntness there. HE SURE DOES NEED IT, DOESN'T HE... Shuu needs 100 friends and 100 babysitters.]
The two of you will be good friends, I'm certain. Blunt personalities are usually compatible, aren't they?
no subject
But fine, he'll just ignore that in favor of emphasizing what Kaoru is saying - he'll just cling to Seren's arm here, no biggy. ]
Oh, don't worry..! We're super compatible!
[ More like he'll never let Seren go.. rip, Seren. ]
no subject
I'm glad you think so! [So, uh, please don't kill him...] What both of you said, actually. It'd be nice if we could become good friends—right, Shuu? You too, Kaoru!
no subject
Ah? [But oh no does that mean no easy escape will be had... Don't make this difficult, Seren!!] I'll hope for the same, sir.
no subject
Uh-huh, me too. [ Smile........ ] That you'll become better friends with me than with Kaoru, that is.
[ ... smile....... ]
