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.

I'm heading home when I catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye--the pale hair makes him stand out, especially when he looks so young otherwise.

I can't help stopping to stare, my eyes widening slightly.

I raise my eyebrows and push my hands into my pockets, walking a little closer.

"Good guess," I tell him, tilting my head a little, a mild expression on my face. "But not quite."

My eyes narrow and I open my mouth to say something that would most likely be incredibly rude before an orange blur flies out of the tree above him and at my face. I yelp and try to duck, and something furry impacts my head and shoulder and I wait for tearing claws and sharp teeth, but there's only a delicate, careful prickle as... what appears to be a perfectly ordinary cat balances on me. I reach up and take it by the middle, prying it gently off of my head to curl it into my arms instead, rubbing coaxing fingers behind its ears.

"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.

"I was out of the country for a while, taking care of other things," I say, not wanting to go into detail. "A lot happened in my absence, apparently." I shift my grip on the cat to rub lightly under its chin, my touch gentle even as I watch Kazari sharply.

I watch him watch my hands, then realize he probably isn't planning anything, he's probably worried because a random stranger is holding his pet cat. I relax a little, deliberately--it's easy to know intellectually that all the Greeeds are no more powerful than regular humans, now, and another to make my adrenal response remember, especially with all of Ankh's old instincts. For now, I loosen my grip on the cat and let it climb its way back up to my shoulder, only wincing a little as its claws prick through my shirt.

"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?"

be nice to my son, mmkay?

From: [personal profile] yellowlion
...oh, now this is an interesting face.

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: 2012-11-26 05:23 pm (UTC)
keijisan: (shock)
From: [personal profile] keijisan
"Ah, hello," I respond, a little startled. You look pretty pleased to see me, for a total stranger. "I'm... sorry, do I know you?"

hee <3

Date: 2012-11-26 09:34 pm (UTC)
yellowlion: (thoughtful amused)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
I grin at him. "I'm aware of Ankh," I say cheerfully. "Name's Jou. Oohara Jou. Do you know Kazari?"

Date: 2012-11-26 09:40 pm (UTC)
keijisan: (understanding)
From: [personal profile] keijisan
"I see," I say, my voice warming a little. "It's nice to meet you, Oohara-san. I'm Detective Izumi Shingo. I, ah... I knew Kazari... before." I"m not quite sure how else to explain it, and I hope he understands. "We've been getting newly acquainted, though. It's been pleasant."

Date: 2012-11-27 10:58 am (UTC)
yellowlion: (looking sideways)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
...he's so young.

"'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."

Date: 2012-11-28 05:01 am (UTC)
keijisan: (lean in)
From: [personal profile] keijisan
I am not!

"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)
yellowlion: (oh fuck from 46)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
"You sound so calm about that," I marvel at him. "Is it all going okay? We have something of a halfway house at times, for you guys. You're welcome to come over any time. You know all the Greeeds are back?"

not OOO but am the father of one...? :D?

Date: 2012-11-26 01:44 pm (UTC)
yellowlion: (contemplative with tea)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
Kazari's always kept his own hours. Oh, he's pretty good about coming home for dinner, and being contactable when we need him, but other than that he wanders.

It's been a while since I've seen him.

Maybe he's at the park?

NOPE you set off my dadradar DEAL WITH IT

yellowlion: (perturbed worried)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
I nearly trip over the cat, but it's not the first time, so I catch myself deftly enough. I crouch and scritch gently at the nape of Yummy's neck.

"I'm fine, son," I say cheerfully. "How are you doing?"
yellowlion: (thinking roolly roolly hard)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
"Not this time," I say ruefully, wincing a little at that. "We've had a bad run lately, huh?" I fumble in my pocket and find the little packet of cheese-flavoured crackers I'd saved from lunch, and I start feeding Yummy.

yellowlion: (thinking roolly roolly hard)
From: [personal profile] yellowlion
Yummy's tongue rasps against the side of my finger in search of the cheese powder,and I grin.

"So. Tell me why you're here?" I ask, then I look up at Kazari. "Um, I mean you. Not Yummy."
