( 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
(Thanks, Shuu.)]
Goodness...! Shuu, don't talk about your passing so cheerfully!
[TO GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY]
But oh, I see... Ancestry!
[Still weird. Does that mean Kaoru's a demon too, though?]
no subject
Ignoring the part about Shuu dying though because it would take effort to pretend to be concerned, so he just offers a look that vaguely conveys "oh that's sure a strange thing to be cheerful about, how sad" and then moves on...]
Mm, saying "he's my ancestor" would be accurate as well. Still, it seems a little more distant than grandfather, doesn't it?
[Which is exactly why Kaoru uses "ancestor" more often.]
no subject
Yea-h, I don't like the sound of it! [ DON'T PUSH HIM AWAY, KAORU.. despite both of them being shitbabies who don't even really like each other and are just more or less stuck this way now.. ]
I'm totally your grandfather, after all. [ More like totally not. ] Being here without family.. it'd be really sad, wouldn't it?
[ muffled irony laughing in the distance
Sorry that you're stuck between this, Natalia.. ]
