With your baby's breath, breathe symphonies
WHO: Residents of Nonah #005, adopted members of Nonah #005, stray birds, stray cats, stray dogs, visitors to Nonah #005, neighbours of Nonah #005, people passing Nonah #005 on the street . . .
WHERE: Nonah #005
WHEN: Feb. 3
WHAT: Setsubun! Bean throwing!! Family dinner!!!
WARNINGS: Teenagers
[Demons outside!
Good fortune inside!
. . . or maybe just an excuse for not-at-all homesick teenagers to throw sweet-crunchy roasted soybeans around the rooms of the house (presumably to invite good fortune in and not just to make a mess), or at anyone who wants to play the part of a demon and be chased out. There's a few bowls of soybeans and paper oni masks around for those who want to join in on the fun.
Unfortunately, due to the absolutely deplorable state of the local supermarket, there's a decided lack of thick, unsliced sushi rolls. They tried, they really did. But as it turns out, defeat might not be a bad thing: instead of sushi, a large electric skillet and two platters dominate the dinner table. One is stacked high with sliced nappa cabbage, mushrooms, onion and cubes of firm tofu; the other has thin strips of beef, ready for the pan.
The first sizzle of cooking meat might just be enough to call out anyone still lingering away from the fun, but if not, at least two helpful birds will poke heads around doors. After that, it's an every-person-for-themselves battle of can you get that piece of meat just as it's finished cooking? Or will that mushroom be stolen just as the sweet soy sauce broth marinates it to perfection?
That's the fun of sukiyaki though, it's the best of family and celebratory meals. And there's been a lot worth celebrating.
Demons out. Good fortune in.]

[He peeks up for juuuust one moment, only to get beaned.]
Damn! Agh!!
no subject
[Bull barks out a victory laugh, and continues pelting.]
Take that!
no subject
NOT 'ASS UP!!!'
[The laughter erupts behind the couch, though, some beans being volleyed back just as quickly.]
no subject
Asshole!
[Okay, fine, Kaneda. Be that way. Because you know what? He'll just lift that couch up.]
Found you.
no subject
WHOA!!
I'm outta here!
no subject
[Sorry, Kaneda, he's pelting your retreating back with beans while he puts that couch back down.]
no subject
For all I know you'll sit on me!
no subject
no subject
[Kaneda do you have a death wish.]
no subject
[If he gets close enough, he's just going to try and grab the back of Kaneda's shirt collar.]
no subject
Oh no you don't, he'll just have to sacrifice the shirt! Brb, sliding out of that now.]
no subject
no subject
Kaneda feels that large arm loop around his shoulders, and his own start to try and pry it off. THIS ISN'T THE END OF THE LINE FOR HIM.]
Hey!!
no subject
This is for those beans.
no subject
I don't regret a single one, old man!
no subject
[Maybe Kaneda will get out of it. But in the meantime, Bull will be doing his best to bench press the kid. This is absolutely ridiculous.]
no subject
Why you son of a--
[There's no bite to his words, though. This is pure, old fashioned play wrestling.]
no subject
[He pushes Kaneda up toward the ceiling as he feels those fingers brush his neck. Up over the horns, holding him aloft there for a while. Hahaha take that.]
no subject
And suddenly trying to reach for the railing to grab onto like the damn spider monkey he is.]
no subject
[But hey, anyone who tries that as a solution earns a little bonus. So Bull lets him scramble up there, grinning up at him.]
Good idea.
no subject
Well, he easily hoists himself onto it, straddling the bar and looking down at Bull rather ungracefully.]
Oh yeah.
[A hand reaches into that pocket of his, pulling one bean out and dropping it right onto Bull's head.
-Plink!-]
no subject
[If there's a foot or hand or anything within reach, Bull is going to snap a hand up to grab it. And pull. Hard.]
no subject
OI!!
[His body tilts over the guardrail of the stairs, eyes widened in surprise. This is it this is how he dies and it's stupidly ungraceful.]
no subject
[This is where Bull draws the words out. Tugging slowly on the kid's arm, despite the way Kaneda pulls against him.]
[Kid has some more muscle on him, to be sure. But Bull has weight, muscle and leverage on his side.]
