I think I'm becoming more human.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Actually, I'm not even sure if that's possible.
Which is what has me sitting outside in my usual park, at the base of a tree instead of in it for once, turning my Switch over and over in my head, sometimes balancing it on it's point and seeing how long it can stand like that, and wondering...
It's been a while since I've used to last. Not since we found Joe.
I wonder if it's possible for it to stop working.

Date: 2012-11-25 11:08 pm (UTC)"Ankh? What'd you do to your hair?"
Only once I've called to him do I realize that it's not Ankh. I blink a few times.

Date: 2012-11-25 11:09 pm (UTC)"Good guess," I tell him, tilting my head a little, a mild expression on my face. "But not quite."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-25 11:13 pm (UTC)"You're OOO's lady's complex." I think that about sums it up. I pull myself to my feet, and am just a split-second too late at warning the guy before Yummy leaps out of the tree above me to land on his head.

Date: 2012-11-25 11:24 pm (UTC)"Goodness, you really have gone native, haven't you? I'm used to a lot more property damage when your cats attack," I call back at him, my heart still slamming against my ribs.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-25 11:27 pm (UTC)Yummy cranes his neck to peer at me, but he looks happy enough, so I leave him be. He'll decide when he doesn't want to be pet anymore.
"You haven't been around for... a long time, have you?"

Date: 2012-11-25 11:33 pm (UTC)"Yeah, you missed out on some stuff." I tilt my head slowly to one side, and glance up at his face just once. "It's uncanny. You, uh, seen Ankh yet?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-25 11:42 pm (UTC)"People are filling me in, slowly," I say. "And, no, I haven't managed to run into Ankh yet. Have you been spending much time with him? ...does he really look that much like me, still?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-25 11:44 pm (UTC)"It's a dangerous city." I smirk at his question about Ankh, shrugging a bit. "He does, actually. His hair's even more stupid than yours still, though."

From:be nice to my son, mmkay?
Date: 2012-11-26 01:47 pm (UTC)The same as that Ankh person who was arguing out the front of my house not so long ago, with... a guy in many colours, and my Kazari.
Except it's not exactly the same face.
"Hello," I say warmly, bouncing up to him.
maybe :|

Date: 2012-11-27 10:58 am (UTC)"'Jou' is fine, Detective," I say gently. "And if you mean you knew Kazari when he was a Greeed, that's just fine, too. I know about my son's past, I know the basics about what happened with Eiji, and Ankh, and I think I might know a little about your story, too. I'm glad you're getting on with him now."
no subject
Date: 2012-11-28 05:01 am (UTC)"Yes, that's what I meant, Jou-san," I correct myself politely. "Ankh was possessing my body for that year, as you may have guessed. I'm just getting back from catching up to come back to work."

Date: 2012-12-12 11:38 am (UTC)not OOO but am the father of one...? :D?
Date: 2012-11-26 01:44 pm (UTC)It's been a while since I've seen him.
Maybe he's at the park?
[DAD I can't even MOPE IN THE PARK without you WORRYING]
Date: 2012-11-26 05:36 pm (UTC)I look up. I don't have to hide my Switch from him, he knows about it, but I reflexively sweep it up and slip it into my pocket.
Yummy meets him half way in his approach, winding around his ankles and crying. Yummy has pegged Jou as a food provider, which I'm pretty sure is Jou's own fault.
"Hey. Is everything alright?"
NOPE you set off my dadradar DEAL WITH IT
Date: 2012-11-26 09:37 pm (UTC)"I'm fine, son," I say cheerfully. "How are you doing?"
no subject
Date: 2012-11-26 09:39 pm (UTC)I also will never quite understand why he identifies so strongly with lions when he's so obviously some kind of rambunctious loving and trusting canine.
"I'm okay." I say hesitantly. "As long as you're sure you're not bringing bad news."
am assuming this is pre Joe going missing AGAIN I swear to GOD I am getting him a kiddie leash
Date: 2012-11-27 10:55 am (UTC)YEAH most likely and SHUT UP DAD I'M HELPING
Date: 2012-11-27 11:56 am (UTC)"Just a little."
I manage to grin when Jou obligingly feeds Yummy bits of cracker though. He's a part of the family now too, and I like that a lot.
you're a good dutiful catmonsterboy, don't worry, I love you
Date: 2012-12-12 11:36 am (UTC)"So. Tell me why you're here?" I ask, then I look up at Kazari. "Um, I mean you. Not Yummy."
no subject
Date: 2012-12-16 06:58 pm (UTC)I pause, and then flop down right there on the ground, crossing my legs and reaching for Yummy's tail, letting it flow between my fingers as he moves back and forth, bathing Jou's whole hand with his tongue, one measured sand-paper lick at a time.
"I just needed some space. To think."
