Ephemeral

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

[Hello DR, it's your resident emotard. Rikka has been a busy boy in his and his sister's old bedroom, cleaning out his destroyed artwork from the flood. The room is now nice and dry, and he has redecorated it as his own personal studio, complete with a drafting table, tool stand, easel, bed and work bench. The bench is covered with oils, brushes and stacks of anatomy and landscape books, as well as slides of Warhol's rorschachs. On the wall is a canvas which has been washed with a deep burnt orange, a pencil sketch barely showing through. He is less bothered by the loss of his body of work than you would think, his mind lost to other things. He knows it's his training time, but his nerves are extremely on edge, and he has pushed the door just to, settling in his chair and icing a small hookah, letting the cool, apple mint scented smoke calm him down. Residents may see a small curtain of smoke pour from the crack in the door after a while. Feel free to ground him for smoking at 16 inspect.]

Sorry. I just mean, it's not fun to be around someone who's grumpy all the time.

[Like Mom. :| ]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*looks a little sad for a heartbeat, and glances at you, his gaze a little soft and strange*

... maybe you shouldn't hang out with me, then.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

[frowns at that look]

Hey, what's wrong?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he's just quiet, and sucks on the mouthpiece again just so he doesn't have to talk or be awkward, and shrugs*

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

That's not an answer.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he looks frustrated, like he's going to snap at you, but just sighs, resigned*

Nothing's wrong.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

You're lying.

[hi, look who got mommy's stubbornness]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

And you're needlessly nosy. We all have flaws, you know.

*rolls his eyes -- guess who got Daddy's snark*

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Well excuse me for worrying.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he raises an eyebrow at that, but... reaches down and ruffles your hair a little*

Big Brother's fine, Akane.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

[laughs and bats his hand away, but she quickly gets all serious-business again]

Kind of hard to believe when you look like, like this.

[she accompanies that with a vague hand gesture.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Like what, exactly. I'm fine.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Fine? You're practically wasting away-

[insert cartoon idea-lightbulb here.]

Wait- don't tell me you have an eating disorder? You could die from that!

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*there's an idea... I mean*

What? No. Kira's the one who's a stick with tits.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Yeah but she's just like that. I know she eats.

[Akane, on the other hand, likes having daddy's hips curves, thank you very much.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

True. Mama's been shoving food down her throat at every opportunity... which is a lot, since he's pregnant. She's put on a few pounds, which is good.

*he secretly worries a lot for his baby sister ;; even if he calls her a fat ass sometimes when she makes him mad >__>*

distraction successful

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Sora's pregnant?

[pauses, working out the timing]

The twins, right?

girls have that power :|

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm surprised they haven't shown up yet.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Give 'em time. It must be lonely being the last ones to come over.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*raises his eyebrow*

Who said I missed them?

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

[grins]

Aww, you secretly care, I'm sure.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*shrugs; of course he does, they're his baby siblings and thus under his charge -- he almost hopes they don't come though, so they don't see how he's changed*

They're dorks.

I have no clue what gender the twins are but whatev

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

What's it like having brothers and sisters anyway?

they will be boys

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Well... I always have crusty panties and bras all over my bathroom sink and hanging in the shower, Dad basically made me the leader of a small, unruly army, and there are never extra rolls left.

*softens his look and smiles a bit*

But... over the years, Kira and I have made a good team, and it's nice to just... listen to Satu play the piano.

*Sanyu just irks him sometimes, but that doesn't mean there's no love there*

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[she's sometimes dreamed about having a little sister to play with. A brother is fine too but she'd really prefer a sister.

Either way Larx would not take it well.]
