Mother's Day is coming up soon, isn't it?

Really? I can't believe it's come up so soon.

[shinjaeba]

Really. It's come up so quickly this year.

Is it, in your world?

[shinjaeba]

It is. I only really remembered because my son asked me what I had planned.

[childrenoflilim]

The year is going by fast...I'll have to do something for this Mother's Day to make up for last time.

[shinjaeba]

She'll understand.

[childrenoflilim]

I hope so.

Do you have any plans, miss?

[shinjaeba]

I think my son, George, has something planned for me. I'm looking forward to it.

That sounds very nice.

[Thinking of this holiday makes Bazett remember her own parents. Yet another holiday when she will have nothing to do with them. She had left home to find a place in the Association, and she would not return until she could prove that her family's practice of remaining isolated from magi society was wrong.]

[It makes her feel just a little lonely.]

[childrenoflilim]

That sounds like it'll be fun. Hopefully.

...so. Um. I hope you do. Have fun, I mean.

[chestboard]

Aah.... what's on your mind, oba-san?

[since with this family, anything related like mother's day... well, it just makes them think about their family, how they're all dead. especially battler, since he knows the truth and all.]

[shinjaeba]

I was thinking about George.

[no, actually, Evatrice was thinking about Ange and how Mother's Day the last ten years have been utter hell...and how nice it would be just to have a day with no arguing with her. but like that'd ever happen, it's easier just to lie about it even to Battler.]

[shinjaeba]

Thank you, I'm looking forward to it.

[Ah, she wishes... George had been dead for ten years and her adopted daughter made Mother's Day a living hell for those same years. Sometimes it's better to pretend, to lie.

It'd be bad for her cruel reputation to be marred by the fact that she actually wants something nice from Ange. Even if she knows the reason it won't happen is her own fault. It's a complicated feeling.]

[shinjaeba]

He's a good boy.

What are you planning to do, if I may ask?

[jailbirds]

Ugh. Thanks for reminding me.

[ at least thinking about it now means she won't wake up angry on the day and snap at all of her friends. maybe she should make plans. try to distract herself. she doesn't want to even think about her mother so soon after those viruses. ]

[shinjaeba]

Bad memories?

[to be perfectly honest, that's why she made this post. To blow off steam. not to piss off minatsuki though that is a plus]

[archerartemis]

I guess it is on here, at least. I've kinda missed out on Mother's Day with my mom for the past few years.

[shinjaeba]

Oh? Can I ask why?

[archerartemis]

She's been in jail since I was 9. She's getting out soon, but not even in time for the 4th of July, let alone Mother's Day.

[shinjaeba]

Oh, my. I had no idea. I was thinking of my son--my own mother wasn't really close with me or my siblings.

I hope your child will give you many carnations.

Or is that not the custom in your country?

Re: text

[shinjaeba]

The thought is appreciated.

[childrenoflilim]

Leave an offering at Tatsuhime Shrine, more than likely.

[shinjaeba]

I see. I didn't realize.

[childrenoflilim]

You couldn't have known, miss, so please, don't be upset.
