[CLOSED] Class VII Reunion
WHO: Class VII (aka Elliot, Jusis, and Ash)
WHERE: Elliot's house
WHEN: First week of February
WHAT: DINNER
WARNINGS: Swearing it's Ash.
[Elliot had texted both Ash and Jusis an invitation to dinner, telling them the time and sending Ash the directions to his place. Friendly as his tone read, it was also pretty clear this probably wasn't an OPTIONAL dinner.
In the meantime, Elliot made sure his place was ready by cleaning the house. Ash said he liked hamburgers, something Elliot didn't really excel at, so he spent downtime over the next few days doing research on the best way of making the things, and practicing.
He was nothing if not a perfectionist, after all. And considering this was for family...it was worth it.
Now as it was getting close to the time and everything was ready, he nervously sat on the couch, flipping through the photos on his ARCUS II that had come with the device.
He really hoped tonight goes well]

Then he remembers the whole "and now that nobody can hear you" thing with that one asshole and he stops questioning it for a little while. The ginger is terrifying. He needs to remember that.
It's not hard to find Elliot's place, at least, so eventually there comes a knock.]
no subject
Though he won't show that side right now. When he hears the knock, he quickly pockets the ARCUS and heads to the door, opening it up. He looks up and gives him a bright smile]
Ash, you made it!
no subject
I apologize for being late.
[Jusis, please...................]
no subject
You just came from the courthouse, didn't you?
no subject
Hey Jusis! Don't worry, you're not late at all! Both of you, come on in and make yourselves comfortable.
[He'll let then both in. It's Ash's first time here so the inside of the house is what you'd expect for Elliot. A well kept and cozy house, decked out in the finest of IKEA and thrift store furniture. There's a piano and numerous other music-related items carefully set around the place. On one wall, there's mantle place with various framed photos.
Besides that, there's a few odds and ends lying around that aren't very Elliot like. For instances, there's a pile of non-fiction books and high school textbooks in the corner, sticking out of a cardboard box labeled "HUNTER" in marker. And more notably, scattered around the place are items that look distinctly Asian in style....as well as a pile of anime DVDs next to the TV.
No points for guessing who that stuff belongs to]
no subject
[He'll step inside after Ash and take his shoes off, of course. Jusis will also set his briefcase on the floor out of the way.]
Elliot, do you mind if I hang this in your coat closet?
[Jusis says as he takes off the jacket and deftly rolls up his sleeves to at least look a little more casual. He's trying to salvage this.]
no subject
Why am I not surprised by all the sword-themed shit here?
no subject
Oh sure! Just put it on any hook is fine.
[The coat closet is thankfully near the entrance. Elliot meanwhile will go into the living room after Ash ]
Eheh, well you know how Rean is. He's really into that anime stuff.
no subject
Jusis puts his coat away in the closet before joining his fellow Class VII members.]
I can't say I've watched it myself, so I can't judge his taste necessarily. Is he also a....
[He frowns a little.]
What is the English word? Someone who dresses up like a fictional character outside of Halloween.
no subject
no subject
H-He...He is.
Him and his friend Jun like to dress up for conventions sometimes. I can't say I really get involved with that stuff myself, but he seems to like it..!
[So uh, yeah. Rean is definitely a full on weeb]
no subject
Danke, Ash. I suppose I can understand it. It looks like it takes a lot of skill and dedication.
[Not to mention money. He's wondering if there's an overlap between cosplayers and suspiciously wealthy furries. That said, he'll at least give a modicum of effort to help defend Rean at least a little.]
Well, there are worse hobbies out there than cosplay. There's no shame in him enjoying himself.
no subject
[ASH.]
no subject
He doesn't. And you really don't have to call me Craig when we're not at school...
[He has to suck it up when he's at the school, but dangit hearing himself be referred the same way as his dad is like nails on a chalkboard]
But yeah, Jusis is right. Even if it's not something I'm very into, there's nothing wrong with it.
no subject
Shall we take a seat in the kitchen? And is there anything we can help you to prepare dinner, Elliot?
no subject
[Just saying. But Jusis reminds him that oh right, manners are a thing and he picked up something on his way over. He digs in his bag and pulls out...
Three boxes of Girl Scout cookies of varying flavors.]
Gotcha somethin'.
no subject
[In other words, don't worry Jusis I won't make you attempt to cook in front of Ash because we're bros. Speaking of Ash though]
Sure, but you're not even in my music class-- [His eyes widen at the cookies though] -- Oh, cookies! Thank you! I didn't even realize they were on sale yet!
no subject
[Thank the gods. Jusis looks at the cookies with some curiosity.]
Girl Scout cookies?
[What the heck is that???]
no subject
[Thank you, Jusis, for proving his point.]
Y'know Girl Guides? America's version, and they sell really good cookies. Last time I was in the States on a mission, the guy in charge bought three big boxes of various flavors.
no subject
Hehe, oh that's right, you're from Germany. [Elliot pumps his fist a little] You only get Girl Scout cookies during a specific time of year, so they're pretty special! And people get into some pretty intense debates about which is the best flavor.
no subject
I couldn't be more German unless I was given a name along the lines of Wolfgang or Wilhelm. Jusis should still have been a dead giveaway.
[Still, it's clear that there's no offense taken. He does look more intrigued, though.]
So, it's sort of a charity or fundraiser they do? That's quite clever. Though, even if our equivalent had cookies to sell, I doubt I would have had them as a child.
[Helmut Albarea is many things, but "kind" isn't one of them. Especially when it comes to Jusis. Not that he'll voice that and bring the mood down with his baggage. Instead, he'll just head over to the cabinet to pull out plates, silverware, and paper napkins so that he can neatly set the table. Thank god his mom taught him how to do that.]
no subject
The money goes back to the troop, or somethin' like that. [He chuckles.] Which flavor's the best frozen, Cra--uh.
[Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.]
no subject
[He'll grab the thin mint box and throw them into the freezer. Then he heads to the stove, where the grill pan and patties are all ready. Soon, the sizzling sound of meat will fill the room
As for Jusis's ribbing, Elliot will retort in a good natured way]
Haha, sure I guess it sounds German! But with how Americans name their kids, that's really not a surefire way to tell. Some parents get...creative.
no subject
Are they really so bad? I haven't yet come across any names that are... strange. Other than what you read about from tabloids on celebrities naming their children.
no subject
[He'll work on it. Mostly?]
Yeah, it's fuckin' weird. Poor kid in my history class? Gentry. That is her first name.
