backdated to mid-morning yesterday, oops!

[fading]

[if anyone has attempted to contact Nami to wish him a Merry Christmas, they'll have been informed that the number is currently not in service. this might have something to do with the fact that, inside Nami's trashed apartment, his phone is sitting in a puddle of paintwater, sparking. Nami's nowhere to be found!


there's a frantic Kai calling for Nami as he makes his way through the park. he can feel that Nami's still in the dressing room, but there's a wall between their connection so solid he can't sense anything other than that.]



(ooc: Nami got a heart for Christmas. unfortunately, he's had a lot of negativity 'bottled up' so to speak, and the sudden onslaught of proper emotion wasn't taken well. he's in hiding, having taken a portal straight from his apartment! responses will be from Kai, at least at first, despite the fact that the post is from Nami.)

I think I will sleep.

[good thing he hasn't had too much of that coffee himself.]

[f1re0nthesun]

Okay. Apricot might join you at some point, he likes napping with people, and if you're the only one doing it...

[will Riku be hanging out. they could play video games or watch a movie until Kai comes back. :D]

[dawnrise]

If he doesn't, Serein will.

[Would you like to be surrounded by fluffy things, Nami? (Riku may be hanging out.)]

[fading]

[he laughs a bit under his breath.]

I don't mind either of them joining me.

[f1re0nthesun]

Alright, well, sleep well. I'm sure Kai will be back by the time you wake up.

[you are getting a one-armed hug and a smooch, Nami!]

[dawnrise]

[She gives Serein a push in Nami's direction, smiling behind her coffee.]

Get some rest.

[fading]

Alright, I'm going.

[though he'll let bunny decide whether he wants to nap or not, and won't be carrying him up to the guest room with him.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[presuming Nami's gone upstairs now, Axel's attention is now completely on Riku, lucky her.]

So d'you want to do something until Kai comes back?

[dawnrise]

[Oh yeah real lucky. She was watching her coffee as Nami left, and glances at Axel with a set of orange eyes. Just a flicker. She's been good at keeping that down today since the portal, focusing on Nami, but further distractions would be nice.]

Yeah. Let's find something to do.

[f1re0nthesun]

[oops, he saw that.]

Your choice, we've got movies and games and TV, or I guess we could just sit and talk about life or something.

[don't let him do that, he'll just end up asking if his blowjob advice was useful. :Db]

[dawnrise]

[And then Kai came home and Axel had a bruise on his cheek.]

We could watch movies and talk.

[f1re0nthesun]

[that is hardly a surprising occurrence. it's practically expected when Axel and Riku are in the same space.]

Sounds like a plan.

[he grabs his coffee mug and another muffin before leading the way out of the kitchen and into the living room. they probably have at least a smallish tree up in a corner, with lights and colorful ornaments and stuff, and some piled presents underneath it.]

[dawnrise]

[In that case, she follows with her own coffee. Also, it's Kai and Axel's house, so she's kicking her shoes off in a corner. She might be wearing Christmas socks. With little Rudolphs on them.]

Nice tree.

[f1re0nthesun]

[aaaaaa Riku you are so adorable sometimes. but he's not saying anything about the socks.]

It's not a custom I'm very familiar with, for obvious reasons, but I was pretty excited about it. This is the first year we've actually had a space where we could set up our own.

[i.e., their own house, WHICH BELONGS TO THEM AND WHICH THEY LIVE IN gosh life is the best right now.]

[dawnrise]

[stfu. It's not like she's going to go around wearing sweaters or scarves of a variety other than a solid color or light pattern. She still has pointed ears, by the way, and looks amused as she takes a seat on the couch.]

It looks good. Did you pick it out?

[f1re0nthesun]

[Axel, on the other hand, has a scarf that is lime green and bright red stripes. he saw it in a window and wanted it, even though he has no practical use for scarves. he just liked the colors, because he has zero sense of fashion and what colors shouldn't be worn by him, especially in combos like that.]

Nah, Kai did. All I know about Christmas trees is that they're supposed to be the evergreen kind, and that it's better if they're actual trees and not fake ones, because they smell better. I picked out a lot of the ornaments, though.

[dawnrise]

[Kira would go into shock. She looks even more amused now.]

The only bad thing about the real trees is the mess when they start shedding. Did you at least help decorate?

[f1re0nthesun]

Are you kidding, I did most of it, once Kai showed me how to put the lights on.

[he flops onto the couch after putting a movie in; it's probably another one of the terrible ninja movies Ri gave him a couple of years ago. he's more interested in talking to Riku anyway. :> ]

[dawnrise]

[She actually laughs a little. It maybe sounds a little tired, but hey, happy things.]

Good for you.

[f1re0nthesun]

And I'll have fun burning it once it's too dried out to have in here anymore, so there's that too, I guess.

[hmmm what can they talk about, since they already talked for a good long while the night before...]

[dawnrise]

You should see Christmases on the islands.

[She looks amused.]

I think you'd like it.

[f1re0nthesun]

I probably would. I like most things if I try them once.

[did he just wiggle his eyebrows at you, Riku. he might have, or it might've been a trick of the light.]

[dawnrise]

[Good job she almost snorted her coffee.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[ :D ]

So how've you been besides the party we were at last night, and then taking care of Nami this morning?

[dawnrise]

[She gives him a suspicious look, then relaxes again.]

Fine. I haven't done much else.
