32nd Pret

[tuliphead]

Well, it looks like I'm in a house full of drones again. I guess that means I'll have to go back to behaving around them all the time. Pretending to be the perfect daughter in a place like this gets really tiring.

It reminds me a bit of when I first moved in to the new house with Dad...

I just really want to get out of the house and away from all those fake smiles of theirs. Does anyone want to do anything? Just let me know if you do. The sooner, the better.

A house of drones?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm the only one who isn't a drone right now.

[fated_blade]

While I imagine that is lonely...they are not cruel to you, I hope.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. They're just...weird.

[fated_blade]

Cruelty is unforgivable. I am glad you are alright in that regard. Being stuck with a violent man is horrible.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

You're not stuck with anyone like that, are you?

[fated_blade]

Unfortunately, yes. But I shall persevere.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

But... why do you have to pretend? You're so great!

The grownups here are doing that, but there's another regular person at least.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, well thanks Hajime, but the drone parents don't really like a kid like me.

I'm glad you have someone else who's normal at your house.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Well... they should!

I probably shouldn't say it, but...

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

That's okay. My real parents aren't like that, so that's what matters.

What is it?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the important part. We won't be here forever.

Well, the one who's supposed to be my mom... she's been a lot nicer.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

She didn't get droned too, did she?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

She never really talked to me much.

[Really, that was okay, the one conversation they had wasn't much fun]

Now she talks, but just the way... they do.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Yeah...that sounds like a drone alright. Are you okay?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She mostly just tells me to eat my spinach and do my homework. And to go to bed. That's probably her favourite.

[All things considered, a definite improvement over telling him his parents didn't want him. Not that that's really hard.]

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

So who is the other normal person in your house? Are they treating you well?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Kakyoin, the drones all call him my big brother. He doesn't always talk to me a lot, but he's not bad.

[Hajime still has no clue about what went down a few weeks ago, Jotaro did a good job.]

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Okay, good. If he does anything strange, you let me know right away, alright?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry Himeno, I will.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I have some free time if you want to get away from them.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Ah, sure!

Have we met?

[ooc: I don't remember if they have. If they have I'm super sorry for forgetting. ;_;]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

I'm Tiffany Aching.

[No, I don't think they have.]

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you then, Tiffany. Have you been here very long?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Quite long. I believe it would be....over a year now. Not counting the day I was droned here that lasted three years back home.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Three years in a day!?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was droned for a day here and went home for three years.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

That's...that's pretty crazy. It must have been hard coming back after all that time.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

It was rather strange. My world is incredibly different from this one as well. I'm just getting used to the food here again. And the electricity.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this place is different for me, but not that different.

What I wouldn't give for a good bowl of ramen, though.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Ramen?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

It's a kind of soup where I'm from. I used to eat it all the time with my dad.

They don't really have the right ingredients for it here.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I see.

[ra-ra-razputin.livejournal.com]

Ugh, houses full of drones are the worst thing ever.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. This isn't the first time this has happened, either.

[ra-ra-razputin.livejournal.com]

It's happened before? That's rough. I almost went crazy the one time I was stuck with a bunch of drones. Ya know, if you ever need a break from them you can come to my house. My not really dad has a computer!

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

It isn't so bad if I just avoid them.

But, thanks. I appreciate it.

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

Uryu...

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Sakutaro? Everything okay?

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

Want to cheer up Himeno.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

[She laughs a bit.]

I'm okay, really! It's just pretty strange to be surrounded by drones again.

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

...

Sakutaro wants to do 'anything' with Himeno.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Sure, okay! Do you have anything in mind?

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

Everything is fun with Himeno!

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Then maybe we could go get some ice cream. Does that sound like a good idea?

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

I'll pick you up soon, okay?
