PARTY @ THE KAGAMINE'S (court au)

[was_no_monster]

[ so sometimes you need a break from fucking and/or bleeding your way to godly power, right? and what better way to do that to head home for a few days! where you will not have to do any of the above!

also why the hell not bring your fellow undead alternate universe twin while you're at it, god knows that guy needs a break too. it's not like your father will mind. ]

[ you are the best father. just in case, though, he's still reaching out and casually snagging Harvey by the hood :) ]

Well, if you want me to be blunt, I'd rather you didn't prove my point by immediately running off.

...Really, we can wait until you're settled.

[coaldhearted]

...If you're sure.

[I SEE THERE ARE NO ESCAPE OPTIONS HERE]

[miraculost]

[none]

Come on in, then! I wasn't expecting visitors, but I can probably scrounge together a quick lunch.

[was_no_monster]

[ why that face :c letting go and withdrawing his hand, although he presses it very briefly to Harvey's upper back in an attempt at comfort first ]

It doesn't have to be much; Harvey doesn't really eat.

[coaldhearted]

[he just feels guilty for trying to bail in the first place, let alone needing to get shut down so hard.

shoots kaito a slightly grateful look at the gesture, shh it's okay.]

At least the scrounging will be easier?

[miraculost]

Haha, I suppose so!

Kaito, how long are the two of you going to be staying?

[was_no_monster]

[ we all have issues, dude, ain't no shame in it (unless you're me) ]

Ah— a week, I think. Maybe less; I'm allied with a group a lot like the old police force, and we tend to keep busier than any of us would like...

[coaldhearted]

Did you really give them a way to call you back from vacation...

[miraculost]

I see... Well, that's just like you, after all.

But I'm glad to hear you'll be staying for a while! Harvey, I have a spare room you can use while you're here.

[was_no_monster]

[ flushes. ...he's not dignifying that with a response. it has nothing to do with him being a terrible liar. ]

[coaldhearted]

Ah... Thanks, -["but i don't need it" will probably also be received with WHERE WILL YOU GO AT NIGHT HARVEY WILL YOU EVEN COME BACK

to which the answer is probably no

take the goddamned room Harvey]

Thanks.

[miraculost]

[it ok harvey we are not strangers to monsters in this house

SHOWING HIM AROUND and stuff and things enjoy this nice semi-converted lab complex that is actually quite cozy]

[was_no_monster]

[ ... great. yes. you do that

I'll just

slip back out to the living room before you get to far. it's fine, don't mind me, I'm fine ]

[coaldhearted]

[Preoccupied enough with not being a stupendously shitty guest, taking just long enough to notice Kaito's exit that he's well and truly gone and there's nothing Harvey can do about it.

Goddamnit Kaito.

Also... visibly uncomfortable with the whole lab thing, despite his efforts to pretend he's not. Perhaps some history there...? Who knows.]

[miraculost]

[I can't help but notice a lack of enthusiasm

... and also a missing son]

Ah... hmm. I suppose we'll just keep to the immediate living areas, then.

[was_no_monster]

[ sorry '/-'

when they come back around to the living room, he'll be sitting on the ground by the doorway to the hall with an armful of vibrating dere cat and a shamed expression to rival Harvey's earlier one ]

[coaldhearted]

That's... probably a good idea.

[cat

eyes fixed on cat]

[miraculost]

--Oh, I see you've found Eve!

[was_no_monster]

Ah— it's more like she found me, really...

[ her daddysads senses tingled :c the cat is purring loud enough to hear across the entire house, probably, her head wedged up against the underside of Kaito's chin— but after a moment she pulls away enough to look at Harvey and trill, curious.

...at that angle it's really obvious that her ginger and black patches are an almost perfect echo of Kaito's. ]

Harvey, this is Eve. I'm afraid she's rather spoiled, so let me know if she makes a nuisance of herself.

[coaldhearted]

...I'll keep you updated.

[crouching to scritch under her chin of his own accord, getting in Kaito's space in the process.

who is this and where is Harvey, basically.]

[miraculost]

She'll certainly be happy that you're back, Kaito. She's enjoyed all the room she has to roam, but I can tell she's missed you.

[was_no_monster]

[ excuse you, I haven't cleared those fingers to be touching My Glorious Self yet :T Eve is wiggling out of Kaito's grip enough to grab at Harvey's hand and sniff it properly.

...meanwhile Kaito is losing the rest of his unhappy, shell-shocked look and kind of. grinning at Len. just a little bit. papa look at this idiot I adopted getting along with my cat ///// ]

I missed her, too. She'll probably make me regret leaving her once she's remembers she's unhappy with me for leaving... Well, at least I brought her a souvenir.

[coaldhearted]

[SMELLS LIKE DEATH BUT THIS APPARENTLY ISN'T REPULSIVE TO ANIMALS SO lets her sniff his hand without the slightest protest.

preoccupied with kitty, carry on.]

[miraculost]

[look at this idiot you adopted getting along with your cat!!]

A souvenir, is it? What are you spoiling her with now?

[was_no_monster]

[ even if it were, what do you think Kaito smells like. which is probably why Eve is launching back into LOUD PURRING and aggressively scentmarking Harvey's hand. you smell like daddy! ]

I was going to say Harvey, but at this point I'm not sure which of them I'm spoiling.

[ HI HARVEY. YOU'RE GETTING HANDED A CAT NOW. a squeaky cat. meanwhile, Kaito is getting back up ]
