[ You might think that today is your very average ordinary day, but you would be wrong. It's a day in which Luke will have no qualms about running your ass over as she hustles about to and fro without regard for anything (or anyone) in her path, a look of mild panic upon her face.

You're welcome to interrupt her, of course, but you had also better watch out if you're on the slow side! You're liable to cause a collision. Because you know it totally wouldn't be her fault. Mmhmm. ]

[ Hence why they end up sniping each other. ELOQUENT ANSWERS, WHAT ARE THOSE. ]

Then why did you-- Oh, never mind! Earth is another planet that some of the people here come from. I found a book of popular Earth holidays, and if their weird calendar is right, then today is extra special!

[i don't know do they taste good]

Another... [why would you need another planet for? and why would they change the calendar? Luke cocks his head to the side confusedly, but he also has a more pressing question.] You keep saying that, but I still don't know what the hell you're going on about.

[ probably not they sound kinda fussy and gross ]

Yeah, most of us are from Auldrant, but that's not always the case. [ Oh don't even start, you. And the thing is, she'd rather not say what this particular occasion is in case Asch is ~~creeping around the corner~~ listening in through their fon line. ] Today is...

[ After a quick check of the surrounding area, she pulls him in by the ear. ] It's "Father's Day".

Huh. [augh what is with this Luke and manhandling] Ow! Quit that!

...Father's Day? What kinda holiday is that supposed to be? [sorry, Luke doesn't know the meaning of discreet]

Shhhh! Not so loud, you big sissy! [ She's trying to help shake the stupid out! Though it seems she can't possibly accomplish that fast enough. ]

Just like it sounds! It's a day which you celebrate fathers! They have one for mothers, too. [ But their mother wasn't here then... ]

Don't call me that! [it's likely that no amount of shaking will help]

Huh... for mothers, too? What are you acting all crazy for, anyway? It's not like Father's here. [...or at least, Luke sure hopes he's not. and all things considered, he's not exactly sure if he'd celebrate Duke Fabre, anyway]

[ Tempting as it is to repeat the insult at that, she manages to hold her tongue. For now. ]

Yeah, it was a while back. [ Once upon a time there was a Papa Fabre in the nexus... But really. She couldn't have ever been this dense, right? It just wasn't possible! ] ...there's more fathers out there than our own, you know.

[sorry, not only is it possible, she's experiencing it right now] Well, yeah, but what does that have to do with anything? What, you're celebrating someone else's father? That's... kinda weird.

[ She's in denial. If it's not acknowledged, it isn't true, dammit! And he just gets the flattest of looks for being oblivious ~~like her~~. ] You don't listen at all, do you? I've got a very good reason that isn't strange!

[think of it as karma. And Luke's going to glare back sulkily because one of them is not making any sense here, and it's not him] I'm listening just fine! Well, then what is it?

[ Karma can kiss her ass. Fine, buddy boy, you asked for it. She was trying to be considerate of your easily breakable brain but nooooo you had to go and be a blockhead. He gets jab for each of her following words. ] Asch is a father too!

[Luke doesn't understand consideration from any side of the equation :|] Ow - ow - ow! Jeez, you're such a - [and then he finally pays attention to what she said.]

...oh. Oh yeah. [man, and Luke was doing such a great job of not thinking about this ever, too. :\ Yeah, this is your fault and not the fault of his own crippling obliviousness okay]

[ It's a learned skill, much like not fretting over the dirt on one's clothes. :|b ] Now you know. So what were you about to say about me? [ Now she wants to know ~~so she can deck him for it~~. And hey, it was self-inflicted. Twice. His obliviousness is her obliviousness, so neh-- wait, that's not something to brag about, is it. ]

[danger will robinson danger] Uh. Nothing? --anyway, I still don't get why you have to go running into people like that! [awesomely smooth change of subject is go!]

[ So he can be taught! And thankfully she falls for the bait hook, line, and sinker. ] That was an accident! I just-- [ She falters for a moment, casting him a skeptical look before continuing. ] I don't know how to celebrate today. ...do you have any ideas?

[hey, he's a pretty quick learner, but whether or not they're appropriate things for him to learn is a different matter]

... [okay, he hopes the flat look that he's giving her sums up his entire reaction to the idea that he would know anything about how to celebrate Father's day with Asch who is somehow a father. But he tries to think about what little he knows of celebrating stuff, anyway] ...cake? Shouldn't you have thought about all this before the day?

[ Hmm. Judging by that, he probably would have done well as a member of the Dark Wings' crew. ~~au senses tingling~~ ]

[ Okay so it was a ridiculous notion to begin with. She could hope there would be one area in which he has a better understanding than her, couldn't she? ...she'll just ignore that question. How dare he make sense! ] That's so basic! I want to do something different, but the only experience I've had is with the parties back at the manor. You know how stuffy they were.

[Because he's awesome and the Dark Wings are awesome, so if you put them together you get something twice as awesome o/ ~~there actually is a j-fic where Luke goes back in time and ends up joining the dark wings~~]

Court is even worse. It doesn't have to be like the ones at the manor... I don't know, what does he like? [As far as Luke can figure, Asch's hobbies are 1) yelling and 2) getting on his case, and neither are very party-friendly]

[ Why not four times as awesome since there's three Dark Wings and him? \o ~~asldkjf omg I want to read that it sounds epic on so many levels~~ ]

Makes me wonder why so many people want to go to them. ...Asch? He enjoys collecting swords and practicing with them, he teases me a lot so he must like that. [ She counts each of these activities off one hand, eyebrows furrowed in thought. Maybe pin-the-tail-on-the-dreck would go over well. ] Uhm... He values his quiet time, he-- Oh, that's it! I've got it! [ look out Luke, impending hug coming your way ]

[that's true o/ even more awesomeness for all ~~rofl I didn't actually read it because I prefer time travel fics where Luke remains at the manor but I could probably dig the site up xD~~]

Uhh... [well, none of that sounds very party-friendly either, but - akkjhfas warn a person before doing that] Got what?!

[ It'll be an awesome party where everyone is welcome! \o ~~I-I have to say that I can't recall ever having read an Abyss time travel fic at all. Which is somewhat shocking given how popular a theme it is. xD~~ ]

[ Asch is not the most party-friendly person around; just look at how he did with their small group. ] An idea, stupid! [ The insult has more of an affectionate ring to it now that her younger self has helped her formulate a plan. ]

[And there will be cake o/ ~~I eat that shit up like candyyyy without shame xD lol yeah it's so popular that it's a listable category on the search engine~~]

[you mean look what he didn't do with their group?] Don't call me stupid! [he's snapping back by reflex but he does look slightly curious. ...if morbidly so] What?

[ The most fail cake ever if they make it but cake nonetheless. \o ~~Sounds like me and post-game AUs. xDD ...now I have to wonder when there was a search engine. And the fail was a lie. <<;~~ ]

[ It's not possible for him to be pleasant with anyone besides Natalia at that age. ] Then don't act like you are. [ She's just teasing now, though he's let go a moment later and given a mildly scandalized look. The idea isn't inappropriate, but it's still embarrassing in her mind. ] Not telling.

[excuse me it is an avant garde cake. ~~those are also delicious, delicious candy o/ the japanese fandom has two xD no failing here ever~~~]

I'm not - ! [wait. wait what. what is that look. He grumbles but he doesn't press the issue because what. Also, side-eyeing you like a lot.]

[ True. Theirs would be avant garde, Natalia's cake would be experimental. Strangely, I've found comedy fics to be lacking in the Abyss fandom unless they're paired with smut. :|a Oh yeah! They do have a way to search for fics don't they. I tend to be more of an art collector, since my Japanese reading comprehension is one step above nil. 8'D ]

[ That's really only serving to make her more uncomfortable about the idea, and in turn her face turns a lovely shade of pink, making it seem worse than it actually is. I-if she's lucky, he'll be a derp and not jump to the wrong conclusions. ] Oh stop that.
