[Open post time!

It's early evening, and...

shadedlight is in the kitchen with his son, cooking dinner for the two of them. He's cooking, anyway, his son is at the kitchen table playing with some toys.

rikuonehalf is having several issues. He's in one of the bathrooms trying to patch himself up after a particularly bad training session, but a particularly bored Dusk keeps stealing anything he sets down--bandages, ointment, articles of clothing.

darkyang is lurking in a corner of the library with a stack of books.

tainted_piety is watching you, most likely.

paperchains has found a large amount of paint and has turned the walls outside of his apartment into a canvas. Currently, there's giant colorful flowers painted on one section, and what looks like part of a beach right next to it.

lightyin is NOT inside a world room, or at least not a world that any of the current residents have probably seen. It appears to be a beach at night, but at the end of the sand is not a span of ocean, but rather something more like this. He's standing at the edge of the sand, trying to decide if it's safe to check out the water or not.

OoC: If you want to interact with anyone else that's not in this list, let me know.]

Read something...? What do you want me to read?

I dunno. What do you normally read?

[Please say Shiru doesn't always read smutty novels.]

[No, he doesn't. And he's not reading any to Sora, either.]

Nothing that would be interesting to hear me read.

How do you know?

[Sora's like a blank slate when it comes to this. He honestly hasn't formed any opinions of books one way or the other.]

[You're making this very difficult, Sora. :[ He doesn't answer for a few seconds, glancing around as if an interesting book will appear.]

I just do...how about this one? Mythology.

[That's what the spine says, anyway. He'll reach over and ease it out of the bookshelf.]

... that's a big book.

[Sora just watches him with it, unaware of what it might contain. Still, it's probably better than Grimm's Fairy Tales in this case.]

[Depends on which pantheon you go with. Most of them involve incest of some sort, rape, torture, and genderbending, to name a few things. He's going to flip through to...the Greek section.]

Yeah...don't expect me to read it all to you.

[Hopefully he picks something that won't worsen Sora's nightmares.]

That would take too long.

Exactly.

[He wouldn't, intentionally. Sora has done anything wrong to him...yet.]

What do you want to hear about? Here's something about the seasons...and a naked girl. Look.

[It's a picture of Aphrodite.]

[Nope, he is clapping a hand over his eyes before Shiru can get him to look.]

I can't look at that! What kind of book is this?

[Prude. He'll turn the page so Aphrodite is hidden.]

Mythology. This is uh...Greek. Whatever Greek is. I don't think they're all naked, just her.

[The biggest of prudes. Yet he still accidentally got laid. Shiru should know by now that Sora isn't comfortable with sexual things.]

Myth.. Like, fake things?

[Sora accidentally his virginity? And he does, but thinks Sora is a prude nonetheless.]

It's probably real to some people.

[He has nightmares about it. It's also why he's been spending more time bothering Shiru's personal space.]

That sounds silly.

[:c Ah, he'd been wondering.]

Why do you say that?

[He isn't quite sure how it happened so quickly at the time, even if he knows now that it was a spell affecting Riku. Something evil, in his opinion.]

Well, what do they do when they find out it isn't real?

[If Sora wants to try for more possible nightmares, he should try handing Riku his necklace and seeing how Riku reacts to it.]

Deny the truth. Freak out and destroy things. How would you react if someone told you something you believed wasn't real?

[He'd have more nightmares without going that far if he knew what Riku was.]

I'd ask them to prove it. I already know what I believe is real, though.

[And Riku's going to keep him (relatively) nightmare-free. As for the response, Shiru approves of it.]

Good answer.

[Well there's also the fact that non-believers don't last long where he's from.]

Is there anything in there that isn't bad stuff?

[Unless Sora wants to hear about incest between Japanese gods most of Japanese myth is out. But King Arthur seems like a safe legend. He'll pick that next.]

There is.

[Sex of any kind is out, period. King Arthur is a good choice. Then again, anything you'd read to an easily spooked second-grader would be safe. Sora is settling back against Shiru to listen.]

[Too bad a lot of the King Arthur legend is based around sex and love polygons. Thus, Sora gets to hear Shiru read about the Holy Grail instead.]

[He's going to close his eyes as he listens so he can imagine it better. At least, that's what he intends. He can't help the yawn that catches him while they're still in the beginning.]

[Sorry Sora, he's pausing in his reading to laugh at that yawn.]

What happened to 'I'm not tired'?
