Hey, all - I see there's some new faces. I'm Shiro, longtime resident here.

[He's seated on a sofa - well, seated is probably the wrong word. He's propped up by a lot of soft things, thanks to being a Warmblood this month.]

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer - usually I'm on the Waker team, but ah, didn't get a chance this time around.

[Because of feeling like speaking, like moving, is too much effort.]

Anyway, I had a question. I'm pretty good in a fight, usually prefer hand-to-hand. [He is. Hilarious.] Weapons are a little more rusty, and this thing...

[He turns the omni to face a sword propped against the couch.] ... showed up at our house yesterday. And I could use a few pointers in swinging it.

Oh yeah. I can't stress enough how rare it is. He's... things have been rough. Back home. On the dad front.

[Fern has SERIOUS daddy issues and Shiro being even vaguely nice to him will have done wonders.]

I guess not. You guys not interested in making it a big thing like Wu and Mako?


droptheious: (Even the suit has teeth)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-03-18 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're probably the uh...most qualified person in this place to handle that, yeah.

[And he's grateful for that. He wants Fern to have father figures he can rely on who won't vanish inexplicably from his life. ]

I can see that. It's...nice, really. More uh- intimate, for the two of you.
droptheious: (Everything clean nothing on fire)

It's not a bad streak to have! I bet the kids in the orphanage appreciate it, too.

[Because he's known enough orphans back home to be aware how rough they have it, add in the troubles of Trench itself and those kids must have issues as wide as chasms. ]

It's not weird. I'm happy that you've got each other.
droptheious: (Someone who won't kill me)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-03-24 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd be able to tell the difference. There would be a lot more kicking if it was something else.

[He's been on the receiving end of both! He shrugs, making a little eh noise.]

I never got to see it growing up, you and Adam are the first ones, really. [What with the whole Dead By Disney Mom thing back home and all. ] And honestly, it's just nice. That you get this.
droptheious: (But in my defense)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-03-28 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, I guess they're not.

[MAYBE. He's quiet for a moment, before shrugging.]

It's fine. My mom died when I was a baby. I don't remember her, so it's...fine. [If he says it's fine enough it's almost like making it true, right?] It was always just me and Dad and that was...well, it. He never found anyone else.

[His emotionally constipated dad who loves him more than anything but took literal years to figure out how to actually show Varian that. He offers a little smile. ]

I'm sure you'll do great, don't think you can screw it up that badly.
droptheious: (From destroying the Earth)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-03-30 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sure can try!!!]

Yeah...yeah, I know. It's- I'm working on it.

[Working on being okay with this not to be okay.]

Hah, I don't know, you're both doing pretty well so far. I think you've got this.
droptheious: (I love you signed anonymous friend)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-04-02 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah, I don't know about great. I don't think I'm there yet.

[DOUBTS.]

You'd have to slip up uh...pretty spectacularly.
droptheious: (HUGE SUCCESS!)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-04-04 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Um...tha- thanks.

[He snorts lightly.]

Oh yeah, like the kind of mess up that would make it to the history books.
droptheious: (He has a way of finding pretty things)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-04-05 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Only maybe? I mean, for me it would be a future book in that case. Maybe I should check it out in the library.

[He's only like...80% teasing.]
droptheious: (Even though you broke my heart)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-04-06 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
So would I! In equal measure!
droptheious: (He has a way of finding pretty things)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-04-08 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, okay, but I make nooooo promises.
droptheious: (That I ruined a pony)

[personal profile] droptheious 2022-04-10 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do that for you, at least. I'll even give them the matches.

[Varian, you're a coldblood, you can literally make fire with your hands. ]
