[baren is honestly probably trying to get to the other side, on his way back to yamate for a few days at least - but he'll pause when he's just about to figure out how to get to the other side without alerting wwx.
and that's around the same time that he'll notice futaba and.... well, normally he tries to make sure that either his siblings or chuuya gets to say the last goodbye to him, given how fussy they all get but. what kind of parent would he be if he didn't wander over to her?
though he'll pause when she seems to be a little too fixated on the water, and then he just ends up walking faster]
[ goodness knows what futaba's doing at the river- probably on her way to harass wwx again if nothing else but... instead, mom's here. she can see the shape of her under the water, that warm tired smile she remembers so fondly smiling as she beckons her ever closer. everything else doesn't matter now because even a well-do fox like herself misses her parent the most. ]
because the thing is that the triplets haven't had their parents, not as far as baren can remember. but it never really mattered, because he had okuni and wwx. and they took care of him, and loved him more than anything. he never felt like he could've wanted for more.
but he knows that's not the case for anyone, certainly not his little fox that he's taken on as one of his own. so he rushes then, a little more urgently:]
Taba-chan!
[and only hopes he can reach her before she gets to the river]
[ she hasn't changed one bit, the soft smile that lingers every time futaba did something mischievous. it's there underneath, urging her closer and futaba stumbles the few steps to the edge of the water. ]
Momma, don't go-!
[ all she has to do is reach out and touch right....? ]
[Good afternoon! It's a fresh new week in this changing country. Are you ready to face it? Hopefully so, because starting Monday, 5/25 and lasting until the evening of Friday, 5/29, Futaba will be dealing with a pesky little problem...
Futaba sure has been having some horrible nightmares and visions of days gone by lately, huh? Good news for her - she's going to get a break from them! This week, she'll find herself forgetting details about her loved ones, both alive and deceased. It will start with names and faces, small details, recent events, until she's forgetting entire chunks of her life that these people were involved in. She will know instinctively that the only way to retrieve her memories is by spilling a large amount of blood from a human with her own two hands. As the week goes on, she will feel more and more driven to do this, and more covetous of the memories she's losing. Try as she might to rid herself of these effects, it seems like she's stuck with them for the duration of the week.
You're free to play with this effect as you please. Have fun! :)]
tsukasa has been pussy-footing around this (haha), but today he'll be limping around kumou shrine specifically to find futaba when she's alone - no okuni, no wei wuxian, no surprise baren. just her. he has a pouch in hand (or more accurately in mouth, considering his form), and when he finds her he'll proudly drop the pouch in front of her. ]
Would you like to share some dried squid with me? ♪ Wei Wuxnyan-san gave it to me, and I thought it'd be a waste to keep it all to myself.
[ hello tsunyasa. futaba's absently in deep thought, playing a pen in her mouth as she works on her latest project. it drops immediately at the thought of Snack and she wiggles excitedly at him. ]
Then have as much as you'd like. I've already started on it. [ nudging it towards her... he'll curl up beside her after, pressing against her side. ] I actually have something important to talk to you about. Are you free for a few meowments?
[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmm he has to think about how to do this tactfully... so he's quiet, thinking it over, before he sighs. ]
Futaba-san. I'm one of the Maou everyone's been searching for.
[ ...............okay! he'll let that sink in for about .2 seconds before he continues- ]
I've been told by a very trusty source that the gods have spoken at last about how to prevent catastrophe, but it's a little... [ mmm. ] I find the idea to be a little embarrassing, based on how it's spoken of, so I wanted to ask you... Ah, but I don't want you to feel as if you have to answer or anything just because of how circumstances are - I mean, it's sort of a big deal, and I don't want you to rush into it or feel obligated-
wHAAAAAAAAAAAAT. CHOKES ON HER SQUID. THUMPS HER CHEST. but oh, look at him ramble it's honestly quite precious and that helps the shock ease. she puts a delicate hand on her cheek, looking away ]
[ dsjikdsghfgfg; he's pushing her with his paws, COME ONNN ]
Please don't put it that way! I'm fully aware! There's someone else I might be able to ask if you really don't want to... I mean, it isn't marriage. [ if it was marriage then the "someone else" line would not fly that well, ] You know how Wei Wuxnyan-san is bonded... um, has a red-string with Lan Wangnyan-san? It's just that, and-- Futaba-san, I... That is... Er.
[ .................he wants to roll away now................. never mind................. let him die ]
We're close, aren't we...? You're like a sister to me.
[ the audacity! despite the Very Dramatic Swoon, she's grinning though because him being tongue tied over a simple question is the funniest thing she's seen all day. you can do it, tsunyasa! ]
Maybe I should've just asked Shinobu-san... [ MUMBLEMUMBLEMUMBLE.
umm, ummm
hold on
let him just hop down and sit all Properly in front of her... ahem. ]
Futaba-san. Would you... [ ...ah, he can't do this to her- but if he asks, maybe she'll say yes-? tsukasa clears his throat. okay. ] Would you tie your life to mine?
[ ... ]
Please only say yes if you really want to, Futaba-san. I don't want to force you into anything, and I know it's a heavy weight to bear.
[ in the end, though, that's why he went to her first instead of anyone else (who is currently not-red-stringed): he trusts her. ]
[ her eyebrows raise judgingly because lan-wan would just have murdered him immediately.
but she smiles, gentle for chaotic being like her. she understands the meaning of something so meaningful like this after all. no jokes needed here. ]
If you really want to be tied to a being such as myself, who am I to deny you?
[ she says, still a gremlin as ever. but still, she holds out her hands for his paws, absolutely ready to protect one of her favorite people in any way she can ]
[ lan-wan still has the chance to murder him, incidentally,
but that's wonderful news - tsukasa places them in her hands, looking like a cat who's gotten into the cream. ]
...Thank you, Futaba-san. I promise to protect you and keep you happy for the rest of my life. [ he'll ensure they both live long lives, too. fuck death!! he'll take it on!!!!!!!!!! ] ...If you ever find someone else you want to tie yourself to as well in the future, I won't take offense. We're both still young, aren't we? ♪
[ lan-wan will probably murder them both for various reasons but it's fine probably. ]
Ehehehe. My dream of a 30 person harem begins!
[ despite that she's... incredibly excited by this weirdly enough. not only is there the flutter of pleasure at having been first choice, there's the happiness of tsukasa thinking so highly of her. her! even if she's just a mere fox who brings nothing but mischief and chaos to those around her. after all, even gremlins have feelings and with this, he just won her lifelong loyalty. ]
Th-thirty person— You're joking, aren't you!?! If you're not, then I forbid you from any other red strings!!
[ He's Not Joking.
but this is ... nice. ahh, he really loves futaba, she's so important to him ♪ let him into your lap he wants up. ]
Mmph... Let's finish our squid... Ah, should I call you something new, too? [ ?????? you didnt get married tsukasa, you don't HAVE TO DO THIS ] Like... Futaba-chan instead? Fuuchan? Oh, no, that sounds too childish...
but she'll be perfectly happy to cuddle fluffy kitties and feed him squid while they celebrate this new development in the meanwhile. maybe she'll bring it up again in 300 years ]
If you'd like! [ they're married on the astral plane now it totally counts ] The others use Taba-chan a lot but if you want something different I don't mind.
[ maybe in 300 years he'll give her the go-ahead. ]
...Taba-chan... [ it feels weird, but maybe that's something he has to get used to? mmm- ] Futaba-chan for now. One step at a time.
[ and then it isn't a HUGE CHANGE that will get him killed by several people who he did not in fact ask before he came here to astrally propose to futaba. ]
