010 Omens of Crusnik

[A: Elementary School (OPEN)]

[What is that sound floating out over the playground at lunch? It's piano music, just basic tunes being repeated over and over again from the open window of the music room. Cain has retired there to study the books that Charles gave him, tireless in his pursuit of being the very best at whatever task was set to him.

Every time he makes a mistake, he repeats that part of the piece over and over again until it's flawless. Anyone at all is free to hear his attempts or tell him to shut up.]


[B: Around Town (OPEN)]

[Tis the season, and all that... It's Cain's first Christmas where he'll actually get to celebrate, instead of watching all the colonists exchange presents while never being part of it himself. He's been saving all the pocket money that his drone not!mother had been giving him (until she got replaced yesterday), as well as the money he got for doing odd-jobs for his friends. So now he's out and about shopping for gifts.

Do you work in any of the stores? Then this blond haired boy might just be peering over the counter with a bright smile. Are you wandering down the street aimlessly? Feel free to bump into Cain as he carries a stack of boxes too high to see over... because clearly that's just asking for trouble.]


[C: Phone (OPEN)]

[Did you order a rousing pep talk by a ten year old today, Mayfield? No... shame, because it's coming anyway.]

Christmas is coming soon... Maybe you celebrate something else in your world, or maybe you don't celebrate anything at all, but here... I think they'll have Christmas. I don't know if anything will happen, but...

Even if it does, and even if it hurts us, we can't let it break us. We have to keep our eyes forward, and we have to stick together. As long as we look out for each other, then we can change the future to whatever we want.

[D: Home (Locked to Housemates)]

[It seemed like he was the first one home, which was a little odd after the drone!Esther housewife who had always been there to welcome him in and tell him to do his homework before dinner. Which, consequently, led to the thought that there was no dinner... Astha didn't seem the type to make a meal for the family based on what he had seen, Rachel had already shown she believed cooking beneath her, and he didn't want to die so Abel was out.

Therefore, whenever anyone else gets home, they might find the youngest non-drone member of the household stood on a chair by the stove. He's pouring over one of the recipes Esther had left behind, not being allowed to go and find any more of his own, and is carefully adding things to a big bubbling pot.]

[Mama kitsune mode is a go! She quickly scurries over, inspecting the boy.]

Are you okay?!

Mayfield is so cruel

No, no. Ah, if you were playing horribly it would be a different story though. . . but luckily, that wasn't the case.

( ( Watching him pick up the music, ) )

Hm? Are you finished already?

What child would *want* to keep people in school for forever

[personal profile] koyo 2011-12-12 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, I was curious so I thought I would come to see. You're very good.

Ah, I'm Spain. But you can call me Antonio or well, I guess Mr. Fernandez. . . Ay, whatever works best for you.

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
That settles it, then. Is there anything particular you like to eat? [Oh, that seemed kind of forward, didn't it...]

I'm sure it would be nice to eat a decent meal you didn't have to cook yourself, once in a while.

Sleep well!

And a pleasure to meet you too, Cain.

Which ones have you met? Have you met Austria yet? ( ( Because he's a feeling Austria might like Cain which says a lot. Because Austria doesn't seem to like kids very much. ) )

[She chuckles lightly. If she had her human body at this point she would try to help him up, but alas she is still a fox.]

You really should be careful. Cold weather is serious business. There's ice everywhere.
noluckduck: (Oh come on.)

Until one day someone's strong enough to end it.
normality: (just to see her again)

[personal profile] normality 2011-12-12 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. We said we weren't going to lose to this place after all.

[he won't say it out loud, but it should be obvious -- it isn't a matter of whether or not he was worth less than Cain. to Abel, his own life would always mean nothing. the debt he owed for his sins was so great, even if he kept going on forever... he'd never be able to repay it. maybe the world would forgive him, one day, but...

he'd never forgive himself.

he averts his eyes from his twin's into his own lap, unable to look at that piercing gaze and know that his brother was so ignorant. would he feel the same way if he knew that Abel would be his murderer, one day...? what he had allowed happen to Lilith...? you've got it all wrong, Cain...

noluckduck: (Write pretentious song lyrics for this)

[She groans something imperceptible.]
normality: (or fear any pain)

[personal profile] normality 2011-12-12 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
.. Oh? [ he sounds interested - perhaps a little curious too. ]

What is she like? And.. is she adjusting well? I recently got a new.. [ oh god, saying this is so awkward but it's the only way to say it so deep breath Mikiya here goes.. ] 'wife' too, actually.

[identity profile] custodismundi.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not... a monster, Cain.

[he tugs his brother in for a hug, tight.

they stopped being the same the moment you died... and it had taken Abel far too long to notice.
