They'd come from their homes to the military base in Cape Canaveral, and that was where they'd agreed upon meeting one another. The plan from thereon in was simple. (Maybe too simple to start with—Josuke had originally under planned, after all—but thanks to some helpful 'intervention' things were on course and running smoothly.) A hop, skip, and a jump away was the beach, but in order to be sure they were appropriately distanced from military property, those who were able and willing were to visit the garage and borrow vehicles that could be used to usher their small group a little ways down the coastline. And by the time they had all arrived at the designated location—an end of the beach decorated with bits of driftwood and only a very light dappling of footprints—the sky was already beginning to darken. The bands of color that had once streaked the horizon like the layers of a sedimentary rock were now fading to a beautiful blue-grey monochrome; the rippling waves looked less like glimmering silk and more like impenetrable velvet; and the sun was barely a glowing sliver, minutes away from disappearing entirely behind the skyline. It was cool, but not cold, and as the fire was struck, as it reached brightly skyward, flames dancing and crackling, warmth soon began to fan outward. Around the bonfire were blankets and towels for people to sit on. There were snacks of all kinds: marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, chips, and hot dogs—and there were skewers with which to stab several of these foods. There was a volleyball, too, pairs of binoculars, someone's media player and headphones, and a small cooler full of drinks on ice: water, some selections of soda, and of course...the alcohol. In short, everything anyone calling themselves a 'teenager' might need to cut loose on a Saturday night. |

kaneki, who was still laying on his back goes silent for a moment. He remembers Itori-san explaining this to him, and so he crosses his fingers to make an X. "If a ghoul and a human mix, chances are, there will be no pregnancy. If the mother is human, then the ghoul child won't get all the nutrients it needs and it'll starve to death while still inside the womb. If the mother is ghoul, her body will mistaken the baby for nutrients and absorb it." Kaneki lowers his hands, looking up at the stars.
"But there is a chance - small slim one - that it might happen. And the child that is born is a hybrid, will be stronger than any other ghoul" the way it happens in nature when a tiger and a lion mate, for example; the liger(or tigon) will be bigger and stronger than its parents.
Kaneki trails off... "The one eyed ghoul... whose kakugan only manifests on one side..."
Oh. OH. Wait- Annie doesn't know what "kakugan" is. Kaneki raises his head "Uhm- I never told you about the ghoul's eyes, did I?"
no subject
"What's the deal with ghoul's eyes?"
The rest of what he's said is a sadness in a sense. Annie can see it, see the problems in that, though it seems human women might carry the fetus with a higher success rate. They can adapt their diet... ghoul women would need something else fooling their body about a baby.
Not that someone who isn't destined to have kids really thinks on it all that much.

Kaneki sits up, turning to Annie. "it's called the Kakugan" a pause as he reaches for his usually covered eye and takes off the eyepatch. "Just a second, i'm not good at this-" is he ever good at doing ghoul stuff? But he HAS been trying to figure out how to control his eye, so he can manage this.
After blinking once, the left eye suddenly changes, black takes over the white and the iris turns red, smaller. Because he is not hungry and he is actually controlling it, there are no red veins, so at least it doesn't look as creepy as it could. Kaneki touches the skin under the eye. "Ghouls have both, and half-ghouls only have one."
no subject
It's definitely striking, but...
"What does it do? Is that eye better at picking up on movement when it's active?"
no subject
"It changes because of those special cells -the ones that form the kagune- are activated. It's a consequence of that." a pause, s he looks back at Annie "N-not that it means the kagune will come out-" Annie has heard Kaneki's description of the kagune, but she certainly has no idea how it actually looks and Ken doesn't want to show it to her. "We can control the eyes at will."
no subject
There were enough changes wrought on his body with the introduction of foreign cells. He's more created, less born, but in his way, Ken is a human-skewed hybrid; socialized in one group independent of any real knowledge of the other.
"Have you been eating enough?"
no subject
He pauses, looking at Annie, a bit surprised with the question.
No. Why did she have to bring it up?
"i'm not hungry..." that's to say 'I don't need to eat more'.
no subject
Keeping the list of K-terms straight isn't so hard, once she repeats them back to herself. "You're actually spending time around people - strangers. Are you feeling more comfortable with that?"
no subject
"Some people know now, too." people he didn't want to tell; that also freaks him out. he can't bare to look at their faces. "But the important ones who do know-" Hide, Annie, Reiner- "-make it a bit easier. And I think that helps."
He looks back at Annie "And they aren't all strangers - I know a lot of people here."
no subject
"Worrying... has limits. That's all."
For the rest, she makes a noise of acknowledgement in her throat. "It's good to know people. It's all we have to go on... these people we know, for however long it lasts."
no subject
"I don't know if it's because it's a better place or not, but it's nice."
no subject
Those places don't stop being home... even if sometimes, at least for Annie, it'd be nice if that weren't true.
