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.

"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!::

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Of the stuff I value.... The plushies have to be thrown out. The sweater Aya-chan made for me was in my world 'cause my Schu likes it. It fits him way better than it fits me anyway. And the painting.... I need to see if I can find someone to fix that."

Nagi sighs. "I have to go clothes shopping again. And toy shopping."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Shit. I'm sorry about the plushies and the painting.

Yohji wouldn't need to find an excuse for clothes and toy shopping. Between the two of us I am stunned that you could sound so down about it.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"I'm still hoping that I can find someone who knows about restoring oil paintings, I mean, hell, if they can clean up centuries of grime, they can get a little blood, right?"

"Good point." Snuggle. "And i'll be getting a new bed to break up. The mattress was hopeless, and the whole thing was sorta custom, so I'm looking for all new stuff there." Nagi has vague thoughts about a four-poster steel frame, since he suspects that bondage is going to become a big part of his time with Yohji soon.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Has to be. A lot of art history involves various works being caught in the middle of wars and absconded with.

::snuggle snuggle:: See, you have to take the bad and find ways to make an opportunity out of it. It's not like you're hurting for money. And you can't go wrong with four-poster steel. ::Schu is all for tying Yohji up!::

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"True. Money isn't a concern at all. The utter lack of morals thing can be so useful."

Speaking of money... Nagi hasn't done prezzies in a while. "Schu? I know you told me, but what day do you celebrate your birthday?" Not that Nagi needs an excuse, but he wouldn't want to miss one.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Morals can be so limiting....

I've been celebrating it July 4th for the past few years, same as Aya-kun's. I don't tend to make a big deal about it.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"And morels are excellent fried in butter."

"Mkay. I'll try to remember."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::smile:: You know I love prezzies, but it's not something you have to do.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"If I had to do it, it wouldn't be a prezzie. Oh, how's the new apartment thing going?" Maybe a housewarming prezzie....

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I'm still looking. I'm afraid that I'm being something of a lazy-ass about it because the activists are still so busy stroking my ego that I don't want to leave yet. They all love my German and my ability to do vast damage, and a lot of them love toying with my hair. I've slept with some of them.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"How much longer will you be on that job?"

"...only some?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

The G8 summit goes down in June. This is me plumping up the opposition in advance. You know that some of our jobs have a lot of advance work.

1] I don't want all of them. 2] They're so closely knit that you can't just sleep with anyone willy nilly without causing tensions. You can't shit where you live. Navigating everybody's personal connections is interesting.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"You gonna stay with them until then?"

Nagi thinks that reason one is more valid than reason two when it comes to sexxings, but.... "As long as you're having fun with it, that makes sense."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Nah. Original plan was just to pop up at meetings now and then. I just moved in with a group because it was convenient while I was looking for a place of my own. This isn't a deal where I'm staying until G8 is over.

I am having fun. Never fear.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"You want me to run preliminary searches for you? Just 'cause you can do the computer stuff doesn't mean you have to."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you wanna. I'm always open to having someone else do work for me. Thanks!

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Anything in particular you're looking for? Pool? No kids? A certain number of bedrooms? Price range concerns?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let's avoid the ankle biters. Pool would be nice. I actually don't need a large apartment, and money is no object. I'd prefer a private entrance for my flat so I could come back bloody and not run into the neighbors.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"But you do need a large bedroom and closet." Nagi's mentally figuring out his search terms, adding in the sorts of neighborhoods that Schuldig enjoys, etc.
