Applying the Drama Stick

[tastes_of_honey]

::Schu's lounging on his couch. His hair has faint blue streaks in it, and if you came close enough you'd realize they smell vaguely sweet and like "raspberry." Some sections look crimped, as if they'd had braids for a while. Some of the activists he's staying with are young women who can't resist the lure of The Hair.::

I spoke to the Nexus Brad again recently and he didn't annoy me as badly as last time. Though following his mood changes could have given you whiplash. I'll watch how he behaves next time to see if I should revise my earlier opinion.

I have a bad feeling something stupid and destructive may have happened around Nagi. Visit me, will ya?

Aya got hit by a clue bat, but he has people taking his mind off the deep disturbance of having a clue.

Gojyo and Hakkai are still LOL'd, and I haven't visited them since. Their moods are kind of chancy at the moment. I'm sure Nagi would do better than I would.

Greed is back to propositioning girlish boys thinking they're girls. This one looked a bit like Ritsuka. I miss that kid.

This alien chick showed up in the Nexus who was like the Warner kids in human female form. She made my head spin, but I just had to offer help anyway, dumbass that I can sometimes be. No good deed goes unpunished.

The drama stick is thwapping people heavily in the Nexus. Clones, people losing their powers and going temporarily bugshit.... You guys can deal, while I sit back with my popcorn and snark.

((Schu also had an honest and not happy conversation with cursed_bird in dear_mun, where it doesn't count. But that's the only place Farfarello will talk to him with some honesty and fewer threats.))

When I had another telepathy lesson for London Aya today he came in all pissed off and I managed to talk him into telling me what's bothering him. It turns out it's the usual shit with Chloe picking on Ken-ken and Ken-ken's less than perfect grasp of English. Aya's long past tired of the two of them having a tug of war over him, but telling that to Chloe gets him nowhere while Kenchen feels the need to defend himself and Aya. Meanwhile, Aya's fucking Ken and loves him but is not in love with him, which Ken knows and is fine with because Aya is a Special Snowflake and Ken's own Shinigami of Wuv.

Aya's glad that Ken doesn't have over-the-top homicidal rages anymore so he tries not to upset or worry him, and he doesn't trust the Kryptonbrand crew much (nor should he). He won't contact his sister, and even if he did he would never tell her anything that he thought would upset her. So he just represses down hard and gives them all that sadly serene smile mask he developed after he lost Yohji for good. Except with me. I've gotten him to let out his frustration and rage about the personal stuff to me, though he still keeps team- and mission-related stuff to himself, which he's welcome to since we (Schwarz-we) think Kryptonbrand is full of whackjobs.

So he vents, we train, and then we often make out in a devouring, nearly angry way for a while before he can recollect himself. Yohji must not have been smexing him the right way, because if Aya had been this much like a house on fire during sex with him he would have to be an idiot to stray the way he did. Oh wait, it's Yohji, and at least three out of four Yohjis are numbskulls. Never mind.

I actually did end up watching the download of the newest episode of Heroes (".07%") with Brad and Farf. Bradford invited me over for it. Sci-fi is important stuff!

Sylar rocks our socks--the thing with the glass!--Mohinder gets ever more moronic, Matt's not a total waste of space for once--usually I want him off of my (telepathic) side--and Brad's happy with Nathan. Plus, BroYay! Don't tell me it's because they're Italian-American. But, yeah, Watchmen.

"Hey."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Hey, baby. Have a seat. I felt a disturbance in the Force and wanted to make sure you came out okay.

"There was a localized rain of blood in my apartment." Nagi shrugs casually, but this expression says there is vengance to be had. "Aya-chan found it." Nagi flops down and leans against Schuldig.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::snuggle:: Rain of blood? That's almost a signature.

Your minion, Aya-chan, is okay, ja? ::Schu can sense that she is but thinks that Nagi might like to talk it out a little.::

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I've got no proof who it was for the landlord or anything, but, yeah...."

"'M pretty sure she is. It was kinda hard to tell what was shock and what was concussion. She was trying to get my laptop out." Nagi can't help being a little baffled by that.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

She knows your computer stuff is important to you.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but she should know I keep backups of everything. I mean, I taught her how to hack."

"It looked like the blood had gotten a good foot up the walls by the stains."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but a lot of people get attached to specific things. She might have thought you would miss that particular laptop.

::Even as Schu's annoyed and "here we go again" about it all, he has to admit that Farf has his own wacky style.:: You get any static from your landlord over all this?

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

Nagi looks sheepish. "I kinda haven't gone to see him. The call woke me up from the first hour of sleep I'd had in about 36 hours, so Rai said he'd handle dropping a note off for me. He seemed to think that I'd get a cleaning bill at worst."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Elrics in charge, right? You could call 'em hypocrites if they complain much about damage, but Rai's probably right.

If you still have a sleep debt, you're welcome to get snuggly here with me.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

Nagi shrugs. "Blood can be hard to get out of things. I was thinking more for replacing some of the furniture. Most of what the place came with, I put in storage, but the kitchen i didn't really mess with."

Nagi's fairly well rested today, but if he doesn't say that, he can still snuggle without loss of face.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Not even Farf wants to live in a place completely saturated with blood. It's icky. So it sounds like a good idea.

::Shuru-chans are all about finding excuses for snuggling!::

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Every LOL he's faced has affected his thinking instead of his body, so he tends to get freaked out when a very different thought suddenly presents itself in his head. Fujimiya logic also differs from human logic and snake logic, so explaining it can be rough....

He tends to figure that most people understand other people better than he does, so if they completely fail to understand him they're either toying with him or hating him for being incomprehensible. It hurts him, so he becomes more guarded around these people, and thinking that they hate him gives him an excuse to keep his distance. Does that make any sense?

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

Can I help it if my libido runs away with my common sense?

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Nah. Besides, you so often score with the girlish boys anyway.

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

The closest thing I've come to bein' with a "manly" type of guy is Farf, but there's somethin' about his face and lips that's just so damned pretty. His face would look really soft if not for the scars. And, ya' know, the crazy eye.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, his face is pretty under it all, like a porcelain doll face some crazed kid beat the crap out of. You don't have to convince me.

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

Too bad my special power isn't "Ultimate Mental band-aid".

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Not even my special power is completely effective as "Ultimate Mental Band-Aid." I wish I could do that for myself.

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wish I could do that for you, too. Maybe one day, eh? The Nexus tends to be an answer-all by nature. The odds are somewhere, someone has that technology.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but with the way the Nexus works I'd probably also end up thinking I was a sheep afterward.

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

Hm. You may have a point about that.

So, hows your activist thing going?

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

They can say things like "Down with the imperialist pigs!" and "Forgive debt for Africa!" in flawless German. They also know weak spots in riot gear now. I feel like I'm making a great contribution.

And a lot of the chicks and some of the guys are hot.

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you keep busy.
