Hey Hey, Sunny! How are you doing? Doodled anything else cool while I wasn't around?
So... uhm...
[This is more difficult for him than he wants to admit, but he's one hundred percent ready to start trying what he agreed upon with Aubrey. Mission: befriend Omori? On.]
I got my ass kicked while trying to learn the basics of how to fight around soooo... I'm pretty sore. I kind of want to relax and I already spent time with Aubrey today so... want to hang out together? I can go see if the local library has any comic or similar. Or I can try to find a book that's at least... not boring. What about it?
It not, I'm sure we can find something to do together anyway? Even just chilling around sounds cool. I have to tell you soooo many things about all the people of Faraway. I don't gossip a lot, but I can do that on occasion.
Whatever you want I just like to spend time with you, I guess!
[Ah...audio is an awful lot for Sunny right now (it always is). Maybe Kel won't mind if he responds via text? He doesn't mind listening - never has; it's the speaking that's the problem.]
[Nah, he doesn't mind. Its just Kel preferring audio or videos because they're better, for him, than writing down everything. He doesn't care how people reply. There is a bit of a nervous chuckle before he replies.]
Yeah. It's... Aubs is pretty strong now and Eren- let's say you can tell they are far better than me in this. My butt has never been so flat, I kept falling down on it. But it's... okay. I'll be stronger! when we'll go home, because I'm sure it'll happen, Sally will be able to grow up with a big brother who will know how to whoop the arse of every person who makes her cry!
[He chuckles at that, even if the real reason he wants to do this is... protecting his friends there. He is fast enough to outrun most dangers, or so he was last time, but Aubrey and Sunny don't have his legs...]
Also, I'm coming over soon then, let me hit the area with shops first. I'm going to pack a lot of stuff so we have a lot of choice, what about it? I'm going to bring everything I can, from food to stuff to read. Anything you could need before I step over?
[Somewhere, Sunny knows that when they return home from this world, they supposedly won't remember a thing, nor will time have moved; he doesn't like to think about it. When he does, he starts to feel unsettled, so he thinks of something else. He tries to do that now. He doesn't want to tell Kel that when he isn't sure, definitely doesn't want to have to explain, and...now that he knows Basil's alright, he...really doesn't want to hear anything else about the future, either. It's best to keep his mouth shut.]
aubrey is v strong now
[Sunny wishes he could learn, too, but...he probably wouldn't even be able to hold a sword like that with his weak arms.]
i dont need anything i have some shitty movies if u want
[This is something kel doesn't know yet and he doesn't even think too hard about it. He's making friends, working through his own feelings and trying to focus on the good things of the city instead of the negative ones so... life goes on and his mind is busy. There is a chuckle from his side.]
Yeah. I noticed. Man, who even knew she could be that strong? I'll have to train a lot if I want to catch up with her.
I do keep being a bit faster, though, so I will take that personal win.
[There is a gasp, then, and when Kel talks again pure love can be heard pouring from his voice. He has not been in front of a television for almost a month, Sunny. A MONTH.]
Shitty movies? Yes please. I'm begging you.
Let me go grab some grub to eat and we can do a marathon as long as you want. [Now the hard part. It's a good thing Sunny can't tell how absolutely nervous Kel actually is while talking over the phone.] Anyhting you two both like? [Tossed it in just casually. A small thing that may be just tied to Kel lacking tact or being a bit dumb, but he has a goal and the goal is befriending omori as well. He steps forward, not giving Sunny time to think too hard about it. Something dumb, Kel, embrace it.]
I actualy got a lot of junk food because it's cheap, but I can also go grab something healthier. Huh... I actually should before I get really constipated- you know what? Grabbing stuff for chicken soup- you seemed to like that. I can bring other stuff to, though, according to your preferences.
What's better than food, shitty movies and a lovely company? Nothing, I'm telling you! We are going to have so much fun! And you're not like Cris, right? you're not going to spoiler me the endings, right? She once told me in the very first scene with a dude, pointing at the screen, "he is already dead, the kid says 'I see dead people' and he is one of them. Ruined the movie for me!
[And he can keep talking about minor useless things, nonstop if needed, while getting all he thinks could be needed.]
[He will try to bring it casually in conversations, as time goes on. He doesn't know HOW to approach the new friendship-target (that he may not like too much but shhh) but he can take things gradually.
For now he'll follow Sunn's lead on the conversation. How do you befriend someone you can't talk to, beside dropping hints that it's cool to talk together? He... feels his anxiety rising a bit more and does take a step back in that. For now.]
Oh? Shoot, thought she was around. Well, I can't complain, she'd brag about kicking my ass. We can have a proper 'boy night', even if it's day and even this doesn't really count as sleepover.
Mh... popcorn is oil, corn and salt, right? I'm going to get that. And candy. And something more filling than that, too. I don't know if you noticed, but I love eating.
[Is Kel...lying? Or is Sunny just losing his grip on reality again? Maybe Kel really didn't mean Omori; maybe he did? Sunny hates not knowing, hates not trusting...
[He could just ask, but why is he owed the truth? He isn't.]
u can sleep over if u want
silly me i guess i forgot popcorn is really just corn
[He is. He is literally talking to a therapist in Somnius about how much he hates it, lately, but he is a liar himself. Kel is just... a bit lost and doesn't know how to approach things, but he will try with small nudges here and there.]
Really? Who am I to say no to a sleepover between friends? Just know I snore, apparently, if I fall asleep in the wrong position.
Psh. We all forget things now and then. Last time I made something in the oven I completely forgot about it. Mom was sooooo angry with me. Anyway, I'm gonna get all the stuff and then drop over. Wait for me, okay?
[With that, he'd start organizing his things to go visit Sunny. Oh, he needed to make sure things wouldn't be boring. It's going to take some time, but he's not someone who doesn't go all in for his friends]
[With that, Sunny will simply wait. The house is relatively tidy (thanks again to Aubrey, though Sunny did help as he could), all unsettling sketchbook pages once again hidden (though, Sunny...can't bear to just throw Omori's art away...).
[He sits on the couch, drowning in a large, hooded sweatshirt.]
I know you know. Still... A man can still dream his friends will forget certain things.
[It takes him almost an hour to rush to town, grab all the 'healthy' food he can find (he actually had to ask a sheep for help, because he didn't know what to pick to begin with), two large bag of candies and all he needs to make popcorns. There are even some shards he can spare for two boxed board games, even if it feels like the kind of things that would feel better with more people around, but right now Aubrey is probably busy.
He sends a sun shaped emoji when he finally receives the last message from Sunny and hurries back. The boy has more bags than his mom usually brings back when she goes shopping, but he still runs while returning to the treehouse zone. Climbing up requires him to hold two bags in his mouth, but when he arrives he just opens the door widely, trying to hide the fact he's breathing pretty heavily, and just smiles as widely as possible. Ah, there it is, Sunny, that sweater makes him look almost smaller than he remembered.]
Here comes your buddy Kel! Are we ready for an epic afternoon and night of madness? I will probably have to sleep kind of early, because tomorrow I have to train with Kel and Aubs again, but it will still count!
Yeah! Working on my cardio! Gotta build my stamina up, I may be fast but I also may need to be able to run for a while in case anything happens, so I would rather get in better shape now instead of hoping that I'm trained enough when things will be needed.
[A chuckle as he steps in, placing the boxed games on the table and going straight to the little kitchen, almost like it was his own place. Hopefully Sunny won't get too angry about that, Kel just knows how to make himself at home at other people's places.]
And yeah, I'm already all sore, but it felt right since I'm going to, you know, going to rest for the rest of the day. Unless you want to come jog with me, I'd love that.
[He knows this offer is not going to be accepted, even if Kel could slow down for his friends. Not to mention, he has things to do right now. The teen washes his hands in the sink and starts unpacking things, focusing on the fruits he got first. Strawberries get on a little wooden skewer first, apparently they have more vitamins in them than oranges (hard to believe, yes), and he alternates them with large green grapes. It's fresh, it's small bites, it feels right? He doesn't understand too much of that stuff, but he wants to trust the lady sheep who sold him groceries.]
There we go- [He has two little skewers already and while one is passed to Sunny, hopefully he will accept, one gets devoured rapidly by him. It's just Kel being Kel, right? Never need to question things too much when he's involved, right? Casual conversations alll around...]
So... wanna prepare all the stuff with me, buddy? Popcorns are awaiting us and once it's all ready we can just be super lazy! I can teach you! I think...
[Sunny certainly won't be taking him up on the jogging, no - he'd probably pass out. Sunny probably should get more in shape, but he barely even eats as it is, and his body is weak - although, he does take the fruit skewer and slowly eat away at it. It's good...
[It's sweet of Kel to just come in and start making snacks. It doesn't really make Sunny upset. Aubrey is in and out all the time. For a long time, Sunny wasn't used to people coming into his house, and avoided it when possible. But he hasn't minded lately. He just goes to his room when he wants to be alone.
[At Kel's suggestion, Sunny gets up from the couch. That hoodie almost reaches his knees. He joins Kel in the small kitchen and waits for instructions, still gnawing at his fruit.]
[He knows, he's just really trying not to point out the obvious. Aubrey and Kel built their alliance over wanting to keep an eye on Sunny and hey- they're going to work on the meals situation too. Or at least try. Kel's knowledge on how to give one personn energy is quite limited at the moment and there's no way he starts feeding Sunny energy drinks.
He puts the meat he got to the side with the veggies, all still packed, and starts searching for a proper pot. He... vaguely remembers Hero preparing popcorns but he's positive he got this. Pot, a large bowl, corn, oil, salt... it's all placed there right in front of Sunny.]
Well then, my lovely assistant, let's get to work. It's not going to be difficult. Just place some oil at the bottom, then add half a cup of kernels and put them on... I think medium heat? Cover the pot and just... wait for the popping to begin.
[Simple as that. Kel could do it himself, but he busies himself to prepare more skewers, things always taste better when you make them... right? And if Sunny likes popcorns he's going to let him enjoy this.]
[It sounds simple enough. Sunny likes things with clear directions. He does as Kel instructed, putting oil and kernels in the pot, then turning on the stove. He doesn't use it much. Then, there's just to wait for the popping. While they do, Sunny helps Kel make fruit skewers too. They'll have an awful lot of food, it seems.]
[Kel isn't too worried about that. First of all, he eats a lot of food by himself. Second, if there is extra food they can either bring some to Aubrey (or invite her, whatever Sunny prefers.) or places leftover in the fridge. It's all good as they start piling up fruity skewers on a plate.]
I'm afraid that beside popcorns and candies, I mostly got stuff I want to eat today. But, well... if there is anything you like or would like to try, just ask? I'm a glutton and now I live alone, so I'm... kind of forced to try new things. Man, I miss Gino's...
[Kel? Being silent for too long? Probably not happening today.]
Just because it's pizza, it does't mean it's Gino's.
[He winks in Sunny's direction, grinning and placing the last fruits down as the kernels start to pop. As much as he'd LOVE pizza, he also wants to bring in more nutrient stuff than pizza. And he wants to get Sunny involved in the preparation of meals anyway..]
Maybe we could try making one. As a group. I could take an excuse to slap a flour covered hand on Aubrey's shirt. Anyway, Sunny, you're the one on popcorn duty, right?
[He can't help but laugh at the situation, simply reaching for the pot and putting it to the side, away from the fire. Without heat below, they'll stop popping, right? And when they do they can probably... collect the ones on the top and continue cooking the rest... right?]
Happy Pop Corn initiation day, Sunny. Don't worry, we've all been there.
[Have they? Who knows. He is letting his friend handle the immediate emergency and merely reaches for some pop corns from the floor and bringing them to his mouth. See? Nothing went actually wrong there.]
You got this, and I got you covered in dealing with any, ah, fugitive. Just don't tell anyone I don't follow the 5 seconds rule about the floor.
[Oh? It's actually making the other giggle? Well then, time to embrace the grossness.]
Oh? Really?
[Does he enjoy floor food? Nah. Yet he grabs another couple of popped kernels, lean slightly toward the other, slides his tongue out and- without breaking eye contact- slaps the food on his tongue, making a good show of munching those as loudly as possible.]
[More giggles, albeit quiet (but Sunny's always laughed that way). He wrinkles his nose and backs away from Kel, putting his palms up and shaking his hands.]
[See? It's good to have a local Professional Clown at times and he takes great pride in his job. Kel does take a step back, grinning widely and offering a silly flex.]
But are yoou sure I am? Or is this some tactical brilliance as I train my immune system? [He chuckles, turning around and returning to the food, looking for anything to start cutting the vegetables.] Or maybe I'm just a big appreciator of things that don't turn out perfect... who also really likes popcorns. Hint hint, I really like popcorns.
