new foundation

Who: Jun, Falco, Ryunosuke, Kazuma, Manabu...maybe friends of the sort as they wish to drop in?
What: Moving into a new place and some tidy-up/diy and other housemate mingling
When: Februaryish
Where: Crenshaw

Content Warnings: None in the starter, to be tagged as needed in comments


There's a house in Crenshaw getting tidied up and moved into this month by a pack of folks looking for some fresher space...and space for a garden. There's much work to be done to make the place comfy and livable, but there's plenty of hands available to give it a shot - maybe more, if friends want to come over and help around.

I - Moving Out

Jun doesn't have a lot to bring, other than... books. He still has a lot left over from when everyone was hoarding things, and a lot of them are heavy. He's been working out nearly every day so his arms are a bit stronger, but it's still a big task for someone so small. It's easy enough to find him either carrying a large stack of books towards his new space... or finding him picking books out of the snow. He should put them in a bag... but he's out of bags for his books.


II - Moving In

Jun is not an interior decorator, but he's managed to do all right in claiming two small rooms - one for him and one for Falco. (Falco has to come back, he can't bear it if he doesn't.) The first room is dark and crammed full of books, but that's not the one he's most focused on. No, he's focusing more of his attention on a lighter room, fussing over everything from the placement of the pillows to how open to have the window shade. He might need a break...


III - Moving... Nowhere

Eventually, even he has to give in to exhaustion. He wants to go out and tidy the garden - there's plenty of debris and snow out there to move - but he doesn't... have the energy anymore. He flops on the couch in the family room area and just watches people go by. He's very tired from the day already, and he still needs to get up and help make dinner... there's a lot to do, still.

Maybe just sitting and talking can help him get his energy back? Or just resting. Resting is good too.

[His omen lifts up his head before Jun even notices it, and ruffs gently from his spot on the couch. So he's a little prepared for Magnet's lick attack, though he does have to gently bat the smaller dog away from his face while giving him scritches.]

... Hello. Just... taking a break...

[He's tired and still depressed and he has to do a lot of work here still and...]

[Not right now. He sighs and gently flips Magnet over to rub his tummy.]


Did you need a hand?
icanhearscreams: (huh...)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
All right, if you insist. As long as I can reach them.

[He wants to be able to help, but he's short. He knows he's short. It's fine, it's not going to be a big deal. Hopefully.]

[Magnet gets some tummy rubs and then gets an arm thrown over him loosely, tugging him in to lean on Jun.]


Hey, you. Have you been good?
icanhearscreams: (serious)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. Which means you like me.

[He's aware that omens are part of their owners! You can't fool him. Not like it was in doubt.]

You should sit down once you're done with the dishes. Just for a minute.
icanhearscreams: (downward gaze)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh.

[Jun's omen ruffs in response, leaning against Manabu in an attempt to get him to sit down. Once he does, the omen just drapes across the older boy's lap.]

Are you going to need help with your room? I've already decorated mine and - and Falco's.

[He stumbles over the name, biting his lip. The other boy will come back. He knows he will. He just has to have faith.]
icanhearscreams: (sitting)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I... was gathering some stuff before we moved. I wanted to make it easier. It's not that complicated... and I still want a desk in my room. But it's got blankets and sheets and a few small things. S-so...

[He can draw out a plan for a room, it's not that hard if you're used to drawing diagrams for class or for what an animal looks like.]

I just... I want to have a nice place we can all come home to.
icanhearscreams: (eh?)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I... either get a new one or make one, if it's not too much trouble. The old one was... well. A little old.

[He'd like to pick the exact kind, after all.]

And we can worry about the garden when the snow melts... I need to start reading up on what sorts of things grow here.
icanhearscreams: (peace)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good. I'll ask around for books on local plants. It'd be a shame to plant something and have them die because they don't fit the soil here.

[He gently scritches Magnet's ears in lieu of leaning on Manabu.]

That's good. I don't need anything fancy, just something solid enough to take some heavy books.
icanhearscreams: (eh?)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I know the shop. I can head in there later.

[His omen crawls further onto Manabu's lap.]

Hey. Behave.
icanhearscreams: (over my shoulder)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I just want to make sure he's not stressing you out.

[Must protect big brother from... everything!]
icanhearscreams: (tired)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-24 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
And Perle.

[He misses her. He misses Falco so badly it's a constant ache in his chest. His omen huffs and looks up at Jun, wuffing softly.]

I'm... I'm okay. I just want him to come home.

[He's been going out to the beach, waiting for the feeling of Falco returning... but no luck so far.]
icanhearscreams: (downward gaze)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-25 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[... He doesn't feel like he's okay, but he's trying.]

Yeah. Sure. I'm... I just feel pathetic, sitting and waiting for someone who might not come back...
icanhearscreams: (glancing up)

[personal profile] icanhearscreams 2023-02-28 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
You know what I mean.

[He huffs and gives Magnet a little cuddle, just trying not to feel like shit.]

I just feel stupid. It's been so long... but apparently you took a while to come back.

[Yes, Manabu. He heard about that. Vaguely, but.]
