[Sometime after this... Will gets a photo on his Omni.]
[His dads. Both of them. Comfortably sacked out on the couch. Shiro's cracked an eye open, though, enough to take the photo, and shoot his kid a thumb's up.]
[Shiro had texted, and Will is...really grateful for that. One less thing to fret about. He's already awake -- paleblood means weird vivid dreams and not much sleep -- but his sleepy face lights up at the sight.]
Hey! [His voice is hushed; Mike and everyone are still asleep.] You're -- really back!
Yes. I'm really back. From what Takashi tells me I was gone for a few months, but for me it was just... I saw you all a few minutes ago. It's a little hard to wrap my head around.
But it's also not important. [Not right now anyway.]
It's really good to see you again, Will. [Looking well even, if a little tired.]
Really? [Will hesitates for a moment, some of the tension leaving his shoulders.] I'm...glad you didn't have to miss us for...for very long. [He'd rather be the one to deal with it, to walk through the loneliness.]
You too. You look...the same? [Isn't that what you're supposed to say when you're reunited with someone?]
[Maul's fiendish delight in the holiday means he's once again broken into people's houses and used all the stealth he possesses to leave those he likes a gift or two. Sometimes, he even goes right down the chimney like a demented version of Santa Claus. Maul leaves Will's gift where he's sure he'll find it along with an accompanying note.]
Hopefully this will help if you get into a tight spot cornered by something large and with sharp teeth. Come by for a lesson sometime and I will show you how to wield it properly. Merry Christmas, Will. ~Maul
yeah but it’s like a weird 1800s library and it’s not like it’s full of people waiting to check books out this one i got on bread making is actually dusty i don’t think it’s ever been touched
[Early one evening, Lucille's omen appears wherever Will might be, holding a drawstring pouch in her mouth. The omen -- a dark, inky thing taking the form of an alligator -- looks intimidating, but she would never harm Will. Though they have never met, she respects and cares for Will the same way Lucille does.
She places the little pouch onto the ground and waves her tail from side to side as though trying to look less frightening.]
Good evening, Will. I am sorry for the intrusion. [Comes a voice that sounds almost exactly like Lucille herself. She attempts to bow by nodding her head slowly.] I am Melinoe, Lady Lucille's omen. My lady has asked me to bring you a belated gift for your birthday. We hope you like it.
[If Will accepts the gift, he will find a hand-made bracelet. A while ago, Lucille had offered to tailor a costume for Luna, and in exchange, she'd requested a bracelet charmed with a protective enchantment. Her intention has always been to give it to Will.]

Date: 2022-02-10 05:29 am (UTC)why doesn't anyone else care about bread?
that's super weird i thought bread was like the main stuff people ate back then
are you just born knowing how to make it?
no subject
Date: 2022-02-10 01:23 pm (UTC)or like your parents teach you
my mom knew how to make a lot of things but i don't think bread was one of them
[Funny how quickly he lapses back into past tense.]
no subject
Date: 2022-02-12 09:37 pm (UTC)you don't really need to know how to make bread if you can buy it at the store. all sliced and everything, too.
