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.]

It's okay, just go to sleep, I'll be right here.
no subject
he just leans back carefully into the pillows carefully, Cain snuggled into his chest. shut up you will like it.]
Come sleep with me. You have tired eyes, Cain.
no subject
You can't sleep on your back, you might damage the stitches. Let go and turn over!
no subject
[he is already sleepy-mumbling, eyes drifted more shut than open. zzz.]
no subject
[Don't make him worry more than is necessary, asshole.]
no subject
but even sleepy he is on auto-pilot to try and dissuade Cain's fears, so he is shifting sluggishly to deposit Cain on the bed beside him, then crawling to... half-flop on him, like his brother were a teddy bear to be cuddled into his side as he sleeps.
THERE is that better?]
no subject
Abel is heavy man, but he won't complain at all. It's nice to be snuggled up to him and at least his brother is on his stomach now.
Wrapping his arms around him as best he could, he just lay there... sleep bro, he won't leave you.]
no subject
get some sleep yourself, little man. all the sleep and rest and recovering. all of it.]
no subject
Please get well soon, Abel.]
