(OPEN) Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Who: Villa residents and all visitors.
When: December 25th
Where: The Villa
Style: Whatever you like!
Status: Open!


[Hey, guess what?

IT'S CHRISTMAS! Which means Villa residents will be trading gift-wrapped presents and enjoying a delicious holiday feast prepared by a very hard-working Rin Okumura, so be sure to thank him!

The threads below are meant for mingling, the exchanging of gifts and other holiday activities!]

[ Nope.

Bon turns and leaves the kitchen, tromping his way through the villa with little to no subtlety (he hasn't exactly mastered walking light on his hooves). He nudges a door open with his head and steps outside, leading Rin back toward the space he's created for himself. Once in the center of a few plants, next to a (very) small pond, he sits down (awkwardly) and motions with his head. ]


Sit.

[Ohhh that's what this is. Okay. Rin is just going to stand there awkwardly.]

... uh you know I ain't really good at that whole sit down and be quiet thing...
secondcoolest: (you're ugly and you smell and go away)

[personal profile] secondcoolest 2013-02-05 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I said sit your ass down.

[ So he's pretty sure, in the back of his mind, that horse legs aren't supposed to be able to bend this way, but he some how manages to fold his front legs across his chest. ]

You don't have to be quiet, you just have to sit.
keepsthefire: ([✠] ohyeah yuck it up funny guy)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2013-02-06 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Geez, okay...

[Sitting, sitting. Bon is even intimidating as a pony, christ...]
secondcoolest: (I hate you)

[personal profile] secondcoolest 2013-02-08 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
This is a zen space.

[ Time to explain why he's out here. ]

The way you get there is up to you. If you wanna scream at something or someone or nothing at all, do that. If you wanna try to meditate--which you won't but hell I'll throw it out there anyway--do that. If you wanna just stew in your own anger for a while, you can do that, too, but the point is, you gotta get out of this pit you're in, and you've gotta let your friends help.

[ Eyes him. ]

Just because you think you can take on the world by yourself doesn't mean you can.
keepsthefire: ([✠] mutter mutter grumble mutter)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2013-02-09 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
... I know that...

[But he doesn't sound nearly as sure of himself as he usually is. He looks away, shifting and fidgeting awkwardly. Even if Bon explained it as simply as he could, he really didn't know what to do.

Screaming sounded stupid - there was nothing to really scream at. He couldn't meditate, that required a quiet mind which he could never have. And stewing in his anger...

Well he wasn't angry so what was there to stew over?]
secondcoolest: (can't you see me chanting here)

[personal profile] secondcoolest 2013-02-10 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Knowing it and embracing it are two different things.

[ He shifts a little so that he's laying instead, his legs tucked under him. ]

So talk about it. I'm not gonna judge a damn thing about what you wanna say. Maybe saying some of it out loud will help you.

[ Bon does that, sometimes. When there's something he can't figure out, he'll hold a small conversation with himself, and often times eventually wind up answering his own questions. ]
keepsthefire: look at this mature pout aren't I so fucking mature ([✠] I am totally an adult)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2013-02-10 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
What's there to talk about?

[Defiant as always. Rin lets out an annoyed grunt, still not understanding why he'd been dragged here. But after a second of blurting out that usual defensive line, he starts up again.]

It's not like I know her, okay? Everyone expects me to just accept that I've gotten to meet my mom and be happy, but it ain't as simple as that. She's a stranger to me. The only parent I've ever had is the old man, and havin' some woman pop up that Kid claims is my mom isn't gonna make me suddenly jump for joy, alright? I ain't gonna call her a liar and I ain't gonna turn her away, but I ain't gonna just... accept her as some new parent in my life either. It don't work that way.

And don't even get me started on the bullshit Yukio put me through this week...
secondcoolest: (can't you see me chanting here)

[personal profile] secondcoolest 2013-02-16 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ See? Bon knew it was just a matter of time. Patience is a virtue and all that.

His tail flopped a little as he listened, and when Rin was finally done he nodded. That's gotta feel a little better.

And Bon wasn't even going to offer advice. He was pretty sure Rin had had enough of that already. ]


What's Yukio been doing?

[ Not unusual for him to add undo stress. ]
keepsthefire: ([✠] oh go play hide and go fuck yourself)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2013-02-17 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, now that it was out, he might as well keep going...]

Bein' an ass 'bout it. Won't listen to me, won't listen to her, keeps telllin' me I'm bein' gullible and fallin' for lies.
secondcoolest: (it doesn't hurt at all)

[personal profile] secondcoolest 2013-02-18 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
So he doesn't think it's her, huh? But you do.

[ That has to be awkward. ]

I don't know why anyone would lie about that, especially not around here. If we were at home, maybe, but... I mean, let's face it. This place is pretty bland and normal compared to what we're used to, idiotic curses aside.

[ says the pony ]

There's nothing to gain through the lie.
keepsthefire: I have to contemplate it with my most serious face ([✠] this tea is just so amazing)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2013-02-18 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Kid wouldn't lie about somethin' like that. He knew we were related, he ain't gonna just... make somethin' like that up for shits and giggles!

And you're right, she wouldn't either. There's no reason to. But... it's like he's just... I'unno. ... he doesn't trust me. He doesn't trust me 'cause of the choices I make and the stupid things I do, so he'd rather believe I'm bein' tricked...
secondcoolest: (:C)

[personal profile] secondcoolest 2013-02-24 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't seem like the shits and giggles kind of guy, that's true.

[ to say the least ]

Maybe he's just worried about the ways this could change things if it's true. Or, worse, the disappointment if it isn't.
keepsthefire: ([✠] you're bein' an ass...)

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2013-02-24 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't he at least talk to her if that was the case?

[Of course Yukio has avoided unpleasant things in the past, or at least avoided talking about them.

Still...]


I just... feel like it's always me, y'know?
