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.]

All perfectly innocent of course!!!]
Well—I think he'd like that! He's always playing around with the other guys on the team that way.
no subject
Sounds like a plan! I'll go hunting for him later.
[Right now? He's digging into that Sukiyaki.]
You know, Tetsuo and I would've forgotten about today.
no subject
[Excellent. Honestly, it's something of a relief for her to see how eager everyone is to dig in and enjoy the festivities.]
I almost forgot too . . . There's just been so much going on since I got here. Kururu-chan is the one who remembered it.
no subject
Thanksgiving was only saved by McDonald's. That's how great it was.]
It's what we needed.

[It's a tease, as he moves to snag more of that sukiyaki.]
Maybe trouble's following you guys!
no subject
Eh . . . probably. It always did at home.
no subject
[He smirks, leaning against the counter with his plate.]
You're ruthless!

[There's a slow inch towards one of those bowls, grabbing an oni mask with one hand, and scooping up some beans with the other.]
Anything that gets thrown at you?
no subject
That's what I said.
no subject
[Flick. He just threw a bean at your head, Yayoi.]
no subject
Yayoi snatches up an empty bowl up to snatch the bean out of the air with. Unfortunately she hasn't upgraded her skill enough to actually catch it, but does send it bouncing harmlessly away from her.]
Really?
[Is she talking to him or her own semi-accurate aim . . . ?]
no subject
Not bad~
[And he throws two more!]
no subject
[The bowl zips through the air again, and this time she scoops one up!
The other bounces right off her forehead.]
no subject
Well, you caught one at least, right?
