( 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... )

[ Lucky for Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Alice is the one who chose the wrong day to walk down the despair path, absent minded and with a lot of naivety; with his headphones shoved as far into his ears as they are, he assumes the only thing Kaoru needs from him is help (which is true, but not the kind of help sooha is thinking of. help with flower crowns apparently look at this shitty job).

So even though the fabric of existence is about to rip open and slap Sooha upside the head for making such terrible decisions, he pulls his headphones out and crouches down next to the puddle of shitlords anyway. What a loser.
]

Yeah, do you need something?

[WHAT A KIND GUY. AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE here to free Kaoru from this stupid Shuu-guarded prison... There's an immediate expression of relief, which is Sooha's first warning, but it's probably too late for him to escape so easily now. Someone needs to remember him so a funeral can be held later...

But!! For now, Kaoru will smile up at him, pleasant despite the underlying air of I need help.]


I have a request... Do you know how to weave crowns? My friend is struggling a little and could use some help.

[welcome to flower hell.]
confind: (pic#8791578)

[personal profile] confind 2015-02-06 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He already regrets coming over here. He has no idea how to weave a flower crown. What a disgrace. Please bury him here.

But who is he to turn his back on what is clearly a damsel (??????) in distress.

He takes Shuu's almost-not-quite-nowhere-near half finished flower crown into his hands, careful not to break it (it's obviously a piece of shit, sorry).
]

... It looks pretty good to me. You probably need to keep the stems a little longer, so you can weave more flowers in.
souredsweet: mewtube (right through you)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-02-06 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[goodnight sooha, time for the big dirt nap...

Kaoru is grateful to have that crown taken off his hands, either way. Even if Sooha doesn't know how to weave flowers, he's clearly already doing better than Shuu over here somehow?! THE REAL DISGRACE IS THIS PUNKASS FAILURE OF A DEMON, can't even tie some stems together, good lord.]


I've said that once, but the stems still aren't quite long enough.

[A SIGH. Casting Shuu a truly pitying look...]

It's okay to take breaks if you need to, Shuu-san... Coming back with a refreshed mind may help you. [And then they can actually get shit that's worthwhile accomplished in the interim, what a concept.]

[Innocent bystander is Natalia and someone now needs to save her from her flowery, vaguely demonic fate.

But admittedly she's very curious - and also thoroughly endeared by the flower crowns, they're a bit of a weakness of hers - and she's wandering over easily enough.]


Certainly so. How may I help you?

[Such a good citizen. Though now she realizes that she recognizes one of these demon shitlords and she smiles. She smiles and that's how you know she's gonna die because of him one day.]

Oh! I hadn't known that you enjoyed making flower crowns, Shuu.
sunshrouded: (☀ this cute fucker)

c for can't stop won't stop

[personal profile] sunshrouded 2015-02-06 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shuu is totally convincing just like how Kaoru is totally convincing and this makes 2 out of 2 characters that are going to die because of the Nagumos one day because he's totally endeared and also v...aguely confused.....]

Ahh? Kaoru-chan, is this guy for real? Do you have weird ancestor things happening here too?

[But still he waves a hand and seems to... roll with it... and he gives Shuu a grin.]

Bahaha, don't worry about it, old man!! Your granddaughter and I get along swell, don't we, Kaoru-chan?!
souredsweet: breadcrusts (telltale)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-02-06 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[SUCH A GOOD CITIZEN INDEED...

Which is exactly why Kaoru definitely looks a little surprised for a second, because ??? clearly Natalia knows Shuu, but she isn't acting repulsed or at least vaguely agitated. Who knew that either A) Shuu had it in him to deceive someone long enough to become their friend or B) that there were people in Cerealia who could tolerate him! A discovery has been made today...

Kaoru will offer a friendly smile her way regardless, hands folding over the top of one half-finished crown.]


Ah, are the two of you friends? In that case, may I ask a favor? [Nodding gently in Natalia's direction!]

If it wouldn't be too much hassle, Shuu-san needs a model to wear his crown while he works.
souredsweet: mewtube (onward still)

the party dont start til dana walks in

[God, when top tier morons collide... SOMEHOW THIS MEETING IS ALREADY FILLING KAORU WITH A DEEP SENSE OF DISPLEASURE. Normally something like this would be totally manageable too, but this punk has been run ragged after spending so much time stuck in Shuu hell today. A smile is managed, but it's somewhat brief...]

I see Tenka-san is as spirited as always this afternoon. [IT'S TOO MUCH. But first, to Shuu:]

I consider Tenka-san a kind and good friend, so please treat him well. [And then, regarding their weird shit ancestor... shittery:]

Perhaps great-grandfather would be more accurate? Or great-great... [He's like a supergrandpa okay don't pull your punches, Tenka.] Ah, but what do you mean, "too"?

Wha-

[okay Leorio is not a doctor yet, but he is still utterly baffled by that mountain of sugar. Unless you're stockpiling for the next millennium or so that is seriously unhealthy dude. Since he went up and asked him, he has to say something, right?]

You ask me, it's neither! Are you trying to give yourself a heart disease?
dielectrics: (20)

a!

[personal profile] dielectrics 2015-02-07 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it's both.

[ Says Killua Zoldyck, the kid who, when unsupervised, spent 200 million on sweets without blinking an eye. That candy mountain definitely seems legit. Kind of on the small side, though.

He'd say something about that, except he's right in the middle of reaching for the last of the knock-off almost ChocoRobo chocolates. And Shuu is reaching for it at the same time.

There is no mercy when it comes to (almost) ChocoRobo.

Killua pauses with his hand around the box and smiles at Shuu. His nails pop out into claws.
]

You don't mind if I take this one, right?

[ Is he threatening a dude over a box of candy? HE MIGHT BE. ]

Oh!

[Here's a somewhat familiar face. Ai Thao had been exploring the park, admiring the neatness of it all. When Kaoru calls out, she turns to face the two Nagumos. Her face lights up in recognition when she sees Kaoru.]

Hello, Miss Kaoru! I do have a moment to spare actually!
souredsweet: jackandtink (reassurance)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-02-07 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, a familiar face! Kaoru's expression brightens a little and the hand that had been held out gives a friendly wave.]

You do? I'm glad for it. [A smile! Cerealia is just full of such helpful souls...]

I'll try not to take up too much of your time regardless, but... [And then the flower chain (much better looking than Shuu's!!!) is held up.] Would you happen to know how to make these?

::Just what he needs, a moron parade. Oh well, if he wanted to avoid being bothered, he should have stayed at home, right? Right.

So, he kind of just stares at the two people in front of him, looking back and forth. Back. Forth.

Not that he's one to talk, but...
::

Uh. You're joking, right? ::Oops, better clarify, so he doesn't look like a complete jackass. Though that would be a more accurate impression.:: No way are you old enough to be her grandfather.

[WELL THAT'S SURE A REACTION. Good thing Kaoru's pretty hard to offend with the things that offend most normal people, so even before the clarification, it doesn't seem too bothersome.

The follow-up statement is met with a look of mildly curious confusion, though... Glancing over to Shuu!]


Oh, my... It isn't a joke. Despite his appearance, he's actually very old. [PATTING SHUU'S ARM LIKE A CARING GRANDDAUGHTER while internally laughing. To Prussia:] It's possible for everyone to meet their grandparents or even their great grandparents in a place like this, isn't it?

[Kurapika blinks and points to himself as if to question the request. Him? Did you mean him?] Yes...?

[He recognizes both of them from work; Kaoru as a customer and Shuu as a co-worker. That was probably the only reason he willingly decided to step over. Call it curiosity. Kurapika takes a few steps towards them, stopping just far enough away from them that he could easily excuse himself to leave if he wanted.] Ah, Kaoru. I remember you.

[He's glad their second meeting involves him wearing something a little more traditional, as opposed to obnoxious lolita clothing. Then again, he would say that about any meeting.

As for Shuu, he leers over at him--and at what he's making--realizing suddenly that he has no idea what his name is. Oh well.]
You as well.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (telltale)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-02-07 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[KURAPIKA LEARN THE NAMES OF YOUR COWORKERS... Or don't, because Kaoru would find that hilarious.

But!! Kaoru had actually not immediately recognized Kurapika without whatever waiting outfit he had been wearing while throwing pasta at people, so once recognition happens, a brighter smile is offered. At least he has no pasta to throw this time...! And there are no irritating people arou- oh wait, there's Shuu.]


I remember you, as well. I hope that your work has been treating you more kindly since the last time we spoke? [A curious upward lilt! Requesting help with the flower bonanza can wait until after the greeting formalities are done.]
gewehrundblut: (Hey you. Hey. Heeeey.)

[personal profile] gewehrundblut 2015-02-07 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
::Honestly, Prussia should really know better than to assume, all things considered. Something about losing count of birthdays somewhere around the nine hundredth one...::

I... guess, yeah, if you have grandparents. ::Slow blink.:: But how'd you guys know you're related if you're from different times?

::Was he supposed to give his name? Sorry. Subtleties are entirely lost on him.::
