kido doesn't do festive holiday music

[blindfoldcode]

Who: Kido and OPEN to her friends/people she thinks she owes.
What: The bestowing of gifts
When: IDK whenever the bestowing of gifts should occur.
Where: System Crash's Penthouse, Pride HQ, and quiet places she can meet up with her Virgo friends.
Warnings: Kido and Celty are gonna get pelted with crackers but otherwise...

[Kido's on a fucking mission to act like she's okay. She's like. Still all sorts of messed up, but she's trying to act like she's gonna make it.

A
And during the holidays that means a s h i t t o n of baking. She has been pretty busy in the System Crash penthouse the last day or two making like a trillion cake rolls. Oh god why is she doing this cookies would be easier, but cookies are also something everyone's going to be making.

Every even slightly imperfect cake is going to get shoved onto her bandmates. She can't give something imperfect. Someone might think she actually made it. And like she doesn't want herself associated with baking it fucks with the rebel image. But there she is in the kitchen, long sleeved tee shirt with rolled up sleeves, slippers and an apron, super concentrated like this is her life.

Don't judge her.

B
And like now she has to give them out. It's easier to do in HQ. She's not being tailed here. She's knocking on the doors of any friends (and anyone who she feels she owes a favor to), super casually like she's. Totally not been baking for the last too many hours straight.]

Hey. ... You like sweets right?

[THAT'S EXACTLY HOW YOU GIVE A GIFT.

B.2
Except for Junkyard Carnival. At some point, they're gonna find themselves dealing with cracker pentagrams all over their goddamn wall.

And a cheese platter, mostly because she's terrified of Luci, with a nice little card, written in red, promising it's not poisoned and also "PS: Fuck you, Xanxus."

How she got in there? A fucking mystery.

C

And of course there's Virgo to worry about. Most of her friends are Virgo. So there's going to be texts, to friends and, again, people she feels she owes a favor to.

Are you free? Think you could meet me at the music store on [street]?

Yup. That's not threatening and absolutely cannot get her in trouble if Lesedi reads it.

She's feeling pretty good about this all in all.

It's a great distraction from the glowing yellow eyes in her dreams that keep startling her awake.]

Comments

[wounds]

I didn't make you go home. You thought it was a good idea, and I helped you back.

[blindfoldcode]

No but you bothered me at the bar all night about not taking care of myself and all yesterday about it and now all today about it.

I've got myself covered. If you don't want me worrying about you, don't worry about me so much.

[No she'll still worry she'll just have an easier time of getting it in.]

[wounds]

You can't stop me.

[blindfoldcode]

That sounds like a challenge.

[wounds]

If you want to think of it as one.

[blindfoldcode]

I will. But until then... I have to take care of my band. That means surviving. So stop with the damn inquisition every time we talk.

[wounds]

That's hardly an inquisition.

[blindfoldcode]

[She gives him a look. Really?]

[wounds]

I could ask a lot more questions.

[blindfoldcode]

Like what?! [Kido don't get sarcastic he might actually ask you them.]

[wounds]

[Like this.]

How have you been feeling? Are you eating alright? Have you been sleeping enough? Are you sure your wounds are okay? Have you spoken to a therapist? You're not losing any weight are you? How much have you been drinking? How's your girlfriend? Any more weird memory episodes? Have you gotten into any more fights?

[blindfoldcode]

[That's a lot of questions. She reels for a second.]

Genos. I'm fine. I slept six hours. I'm the one who cooks and if I don't, Pinkie stuffs something in my face. There isn't any wound to care about--

Do we even have a therapist? And I don't check my weight how would I know?

And Momo's fine, I talked to her last night.

[wounds]

That would be the inquisition. You didn't have to answer.

I've never seen one, but we might.

I'm glad your girlfriend is well.

[blindfoldcode]

Yeah, but I did so now you can stop worrying.

[wounds]

[He's weirdly unsure if that worked or not.

He still kind of wants to throw blankets over her and make sure nothing else happens, but that seems like an odd urge. Kido's sixteen, not twelve.]

Alright.

[blindfoldcode]

[She... might not mind that as much as she lets on, but...]

The sleeping pills should really help, though. And I won't take them with alcohol.

Tiger asked why I was drinking when he wasn't allowed at the party. [She sighs. Children.]

[wounds]

He's like twelve. I told him he didn't have to drink it if he hated the taste so much.

[blindfoldcode]

He's rushing to grow up. He wants people to take him seriously. I mean then he threatened to lick my glass all over, so he can't be in that much of a hurry. But he's worried.

[wounds]

Kids shouldn't have to grow up fast. Even in an industry like this.

[blindfoldcode]

Tell that to Junkyard Carnival. [... God she needs a drink just thinking about them.]

[wounds]

Bad terms with all of them?

[blindfoldcode]

Luci didn't seem to pleased about the fight. Accidentally kind of got into it with her on twitter, too.

But Xanxus is the asshole insisting that he can't be a kid.

[wounds]

That guy... Squalo wants to fight him after he heals up. I promised him I'd help.

[blindfoldcode]

I'd say sign me up but he nearly killed me last time I fought him.

[wounds]

Just keep yourself in one piece.
