Just uploading this so I'm on time again. Nano is slowing down my pace on getting this story written, but it's like candy, I can't stop enjoying it.
Three weeks to go.
...Keiichi...I really don't want to have to ask you this, considering what's pretty likely after she was outside and alone for even just a couple days...but did you remember to get her spayed? I know that she wasn't too loud when in heat, but a queen in heat is much more sneaky about trying to get out when she can smell unneutered males outside. If it what I'm thinking, since she's eating more, and getting fat, then you're going to have an easier time convincing your mother to get her own cat now.
A couple of things, but I've set up my room so that even if he's doing his silent walk thing, I still can hide them in my desk and on my computer so that he can't see. I love my desk. Anyway, he does wear black a lot, but as he put it, it's one less stressful decision in the day, since he can just put black and black together and get a nice outfit. If Hokuto makes him outfits or Mom insists on him wearing something different, he will wear them though. As for the image thing, well he has very warm green eyes, so unless your image has green eyes, I'm sure that that will reassure you. And he doesn't use knives very often either, only if he can't use his wakizashi. I'm not quite sure why he prefers a wakizashi since it's harder to conceal than everyone else's choices in weapons, but it suits him. His is old anyway, and has lots of pretty kanji forged into the blade.
And please never let Yatouji dislike me, I like my saved up money.
Hand fans, with daintily painted silk, fine heavy dark wood for the base, and razor-sharp steel or (on her best fan) steel-reinforced obsidian tips. They always go with her kimonos, aren't ridiculously heavy, and despite them having steel, don't set off the weapons alarm. Even though she's made examples of stupid people before, she's not going to draw too much attention to herself. That's a good way to get killed. And she wouldn't actually mind if I took one of them, as long as I left her favorites alone. She has a lot of them. Sometimes she does fan dances, when she's not busy and in a good mood. Those are very pretty. And I promise I won't force you to watch any horror movies while you're visiting.
Omnipotent is a good word, even though I know that she doesn't know absolutely everything that happens. She just knows almost everything, so if you had any secrets you wanted to keep; kiss them goodbye now. Although she is tactful enough that she won't spill them without reason. And the only reason that I'm not completely her puppet is that she doesn't like doing that. I mean, she likes creeping the fuck out of creepers by completely verbally dissecting them, but she doesn't like controlling people without reason. And she's bisexual to answer your question, although I'm more inclined to think that she just likes pretty people, since she doesn't really seem to have a preferred gender. Then again, I'm not her, and unlike her, I don't know what goes on in everyone's heads.
Tch. You're too smart still. And most of the reason why everyone assumes it is just that Kotori doesn't look like the rest of us. So when Hokuto isn't there to toy with other's heads, I just tell them that she's my adopted sister, and they usually apologize for assuming wrong. Although there was the one time where someone decided to ask her out once he'd found that out, and got so creepy that I almost taught him what it was like to sing soprano without being born with the right vocal chords. But Kotori managed to fend him off before it got that violent.
I am not a gardener. I swear, plants shrivel up and die when I look at them too hard. If I decide that it's too hard to keep handling Seishirou, I will move out though. And mooch off of your hard work, since you're offering it.
You're missing the reason why Mom mothering me is creepy. She's not a very motherly person. My dad's the mother of the family, and he runs the house- somehow. And you're still not allowed to mother me.
Most likely. I am the eldest, and the only college-graduated adult of their kids, so I hope that they will. I really do.
Well then you'll be happy to hear that I start work for the first...four hours I think the amount of time it is- next week, and at least Nataku is already really looking forwards to it. Despite how much work has been done to make things better for the disabled in general, there really isn't enough help and attention given to those who need it to get a leg up so they can move on their own, and Nataku's been needing that help. Also, you know me far too well. But I don't think that there's anything I can do about that. Anyway, I'll tell you what it was like after I've been there for the first time.
Well I'm starting to feel like you're going to bring it up in every message, so I'd appreciate it if you could at least not use it every letter.
Oh good, she's as cheerful as ever then. At least she's in a place where she's not bombarding me with the cheerfulness, I get enough of that from you. So she's an actual cook now, not just a dishwasher?
Ask her if she can handle a pet at all, and if she says yes, give her the kitten. Along with all the supplies, a litter box, food, dishes, a collar if she plans to let it outside, ownership papers...I don't even know why I'm advising you on this, I know you know all of this already.
Well that's good, since that means that you're learning something there. I kind of expected that. I mean, it's not unreasonable to assume that teachers can stop projectiles, but I suppose there's a difference between a piece of paper and a pencil.
Hmm...appearances, attitudes, relevant backstory, things I can blackmail them with if they bother you too much...that's a good start.
What do you mean "considering what I have done when angry"? I'm not that bad. I swear, everyone's worse than me when they're angry. And yes, meet him first before assuming that he wants my attention and that's why he's bugging me. Because that really isn't the reason.
Well the general idea is that if an assassin takes a lover, marriage is usually too risky, is that they train them just enough to be able to defend themselves, and do their absolute best to not draw attention to them. Mom's unusual that way, and she's not always the best at covering her tracks, so...I don't even know. And you're right, most of the world just doesn't make sense.
That's actually a good comparison, now that I think about it. He's probably as graceful as a swan too, when he's using the wakizashi. It's a very unusual weapon for an assassin to use, since it's hard to conceal, but it looks right for him. And you'd better not attack my dad, or I will attack you back. Hmm...that makes sense, in a fictional way. But I don't believe in the strings of fate. I don't like the idea of being chained to one possible future.
I was not. And I will keep saying so until you get it. And yes, the smilie faces would look very dumb next to the normal writing. Why does the world even have them? They serve no purpose.
Well she mostly uses them because she doesn't like weapons, and she does need something to protect herself, and at least if someone breaks in, she can take care of them quickly from the shadows. So the piano wires are her weapon of choice for that. Mom uses fans above all else, Dad has his wakizashi, Hokuto uses needles that are sewn into her clothes, and are often poisoned, Kotori uses piano wires, Fuuma has a scalpel, and Seishirou uses knives as his primary choice, but he's good enough that he doesn't need to specialize with one weapon. Which is unfair, but good. And yes, sometimes there simply is no choice.
I will do my best to stop her from doing stupid things at least.
Haha! I succeeded in something at least. Not the nightmare parts though, but Doubt! is a good manga, and short enough to read in an hour. And Kuroshitsuji is still ongoing, so it's probably going to get darker as it does go. Why didn't you like the anime adaptation after reading the manga? Ah yes, you're finally learning there.
Well if you can find where I keep them, I will congratulate you, because you'd have to be really clever to find them.
Precisely.
Coax her into the carrier with cat treats? Also, that's fantastic. I don't mind if you have to work sometimes though, since I guess that you getting a week's vacation three months into having a job comes with a couple strings attached. I'll be working anyway at some points, so you might as well have something else to do for when I can't hang out with you. Oh, do you have any questions about things that you might want to prep for?
Hmm...well now that I think about it...I don't even know what to ask. Damn it, now I feel dumb.
Don't feed her before you take her on? She'll be hungry and grumpy, but she'll have less in her stomach to throw up. I know it sucks that she gets so motion sick, but you don't really have any way to leave her safely at home, do you?
I actually can barely wait.
