So, how do you guys deal with a visiting relative you don't really like that much? I mean, it's not a big thing, I'm just wondering how you put up with them and their annoying habits and stuff.

Also, Tenjou, we should get together again sometime.

Ignore them and make them feel unwelcome. Then maybe they will leave.

[redheadcarrier]

I can't really do that. I promised I wouldn't.

[believemyvoice]

That's unfortunate. I supppose you could always just try to have patience? It's not a big help, but there isn't much else you can do. Take breaks from being around them.

I guess I'll just have to live with it. Ugh.

I don't think I've seen your username on here before.

[Then again, Asuka doesn't pay that much attention to the community.]

It's easy to miss people. This place seems to be busy pretty often.

My name is Tokiya Ichinose. It's nice to meet you.

You have my empathy: I have cousins living abroad for whom I do not care much.

As for the annoying habits: if you have any habits of your own which your visitors dislike, perhaps playing up those habits might be in order?

[redheadcarrier]

I don't think they'd actually do anything about it.

Then you might need to resort to more direct measures: the last time I had unpleasant guests I had their luggage moved to a less comfortable room in the house while they were out. Is it possible to do something similar?

[redheadcarrier]

No. Unfortunately.

I'm afraid, then you may need to resort to simplistic pranks. Crickets and toads between the sheets were the favorite of a high school friend of mine.

Don't know. I like my aunt well enough...

Sure. I've been kind of out of it lately--hanging out might be nice.

Want to come to Iwatodai this time? ∩(︶▽︶)∩

[quicktoreward]

I so would but I still haven't found a way to get off my world

[redheadcarrier]

You mean I can't just take you with me? Lame. (¬_¬)ﾉ

[ it had not taken long to notice. (the low staccato of keys, depressed. the persistent of beats. and even in the music sheets, it seems to disrupt the rhythm and the flow of melody - though he knows he might collect it, later.)

it had not taken long, at all. (and, for a moment, he allows himself a break. and, for a moment, he allows himself to glance at the community. laptop propped upon the kitchen table. a post, as he suspected. a post -- )

and there is, decidedly, a faint look of knowing being granted to her. even despite his position in the next room over. even despite the fainter mess of his already disheveled hair. he manages to peer at her, under bangs. and it does not say much more, than that. does not say a word more, than that.

he knows how she has operated, after all. (knows, still.)

and if, nothing else at all, there is small note of appreciation - or laxness - that flickers up. knowing the effort it had taken to get here, at all. knowing the effort that both had given. knowing --

his gaze drops, after a moment.

returns, still wordless, to paper and ink. ]

[redheadcarrier]

What?

[Asuka shoots him a little glare from the other room.]

[ there's a small beat, before he looks up again. a small beat, though he has already felt the fainter heat behind the look she casts in return.

he blinks: ]

It is nothing in particular, truly.

[ she already knows. so, it isn't technically a lie. ]

( action. )

[redheadcarrier]

Just say it.

[heavenlyhome]

I suppose, spend the least time with them as possible.

[redheadcarrier]

I guess that'll have to work.

[heavenlyhome]

I hope it is not too troubling for you, dear.

[redheadcarrier]

Just irritating.

[childrenoflilim]

[asuka why]

[redheadcarrier]

[Because Asuka.]
