riverviewlogs | ( SEMI-OPEN. ) SUMMER FEVER CAN'T BE BEAT

_{[ Their birthday had come and gone just like that, and with their kind of schedule, it was hard nowadays for them all to wind down and celebrate. One good surprise present was having another addition to the family join them and if somebody asked Karamatsu if that was a good gift he’d say yes (though probably secretly wishing somebody gave him presents during his comatose like a selfish brat.)
Maybe they’re all quiet and sleeping in the futon together or maybe everyone else is awake and Karamatsu isn’t, but the second the clock strikes midnight and it’s June 1st is the second that Karamatsu springs up out of his bed and makes his announcement: ]}

It is.. SUMMERTIME! Ah! The most splendid time of the year! Quickly, everyone! It is time to celebrate summer!

_{[ According to his nature’s clock, June 1st meant summer time officially for him even if it wasn’t the exact date on the calendar. The official first day of summer would happen in June, so obviously June 1st was just.. summer. The summerest. The best day. The beginning of the summering. By now, his family half expected this response that started ever since highschool, so who knows, maybe they’re prepared to smack him across the face. ]}

_{[ So summer it was, it is, or you know, it’s going to be. He’s on the lookout for anyone enjoying summer as much as he is but he’s dressed.. partially dressed, at least. He’s parading around in a speedo and swim flippers, scuba goggles and a cardboard cut out of the sun for a mask. He’s the embodiment of summer; that is him, the Summer Kamen. Don’t ask why, actually, somebody should probably just call the police and look the other way.

Maybe you’re enjoying ice cream in the park, that’s 100 summers!
Putting sun screen or bug repellent on your friend? 200 summers!
Playing sports? 300 summers!
Enjoying fireworks? 1,000 summers!
At the amusement park? 800 summers!

or maybe not… maybe you’re staying inside; he’ll come knocking on your window to beckon you outside. No good summer.
Complaining about the heat? Bad summer.

What does it mean? We don’t exactly know, but feel free to have your character doing something summery or not summery here. Karamatsu will definitely comment on it. ]}

Ah my sweet summer rose if you are not too terribly busy today i would like for you to join me on a quest.. a very specific quest i might add and I think only you can help me with this. It’s of dire importance!! Only you can save me from my perils my sunshine!
Oh, also, I have a present for you. Perhaps it is better i stop by and we can go from there.. does that sound good to you, mon chaton?

Sincerely,
THE SUMMER KAMEN!!! (it’s Karamatsu!)

_{[ After he’s messaged Aoba in regards to their plans, he’s pretty excited to get going throughout the day. He’d deliver this giant teddy bear that he totally, absolutely won at the amusement park that Peter Quill did *not* give him to Aoba’s house. He had been taking his courtship with him carefully since he had messed up the first time, but he figures going shopping and giving a bear of this size couldn’t be too bad, yeah? There’s no way.
Funny thing, he hadn’t seen Ichimatsu all day; it didn’t terribly distract him, but he was busying himself to finding the perfect attire. He had been fussing with his hair all day, and he remembered there’s a very nice mirror of Ichimatsu’s that is in the closet.

Minding his own business, he flings open the closet and blinks owlishly at his discovery. ]}

…Eh?

[ Nope, he's sleeping like a rock and only something nuclear might wake him up. His loud broken motorboat snores resound in the room as the background of Karamatsu's great speech.

You can... shake him a bit, Karamatsu. But that might come with a price. ]

[He was always terrible at dealing with emotions. Even as a child, he was quicker to squash and ignore than address and express anything, usually swallowing many near-outbursts until he couldn't, and he regurgitated weeks or months or even years of stress he'd refused to acknowledge. It wasn't healthy, and even he knew that, but it wasn't like any of them were properly adjusted adults with PhDs in proper emotional responses.]

[Osomatsu going to spend the night at Lyle's stung in a way he couldn't even begin to comprehend. What did it matter? It was just a night. Lyle was his boyfriend. He hadn't said "Hey, can we talk for a minute before you leave?" or anything, so by all intents and purposes he had no right to be so upset by it he was nauseous. He remembered, dully, all of them but Osomatsu leaving the house, a season and over a year prior, remembered how poorly it went for almost all of them, and had curled himself neatly into the corner of the mirrored closet space chewing on his tongue thinking about it.]

[He had no real concept of how long he'd been sitting in there, but he'd dozed off, startled awake by Karamatsu flinging the closet open with wild abandon. He jolted, sucking in a sharp breath, and recoiled further into the corner.]

Wh-- what? Can't a guy take a fuckin' nap in his closet...?

what the hell
did you just give yourself a hero name
and no i'm not busy

...

does this 'quest' of yours involve nudity

[ Look, he has to ask. Because this is Karamatsu we're talking about and he's not sure if this is just his attempt to ask him on a date. ]

i see... i know you are eager to witness me in my full nude once more HOWEVER that is not the case!
You can appreciate this quest too i am certain of it.
With it being SUMMER already its come to my attention i do not have a proper yukata to enjoy any festivals in.

I was wondering if you would accompany me and help me pick one out if there are any stores here that carry such a thing.
Of course the one that makes me look the most appealing to you. <3

_{[ there are Consequences for not enjoying summer, my little Jyushimatsu. Karamatsu, without thinking and without caution is just going to lean in really close to the fifth born and pry one of his eyes open. ]}

Jyushimatsu! Wake up! The time has come to welcome summer!
_{[ and then we never heard from Karamatsu ever again. ]}

_{[ Um, okay. Ichimatsu is weird, Karamatsu knows that, but he has this strange suspicion that maybe this wasn't intentional. Then again, Ichimatsu did like to be in private a lot, maybe he's just going overboard with the privacy thing?
Somehow, all he can manage to do is stutter out an apology and then shut the closet door. ]}

Oh my god! S-Sorry!

_{[ the doors shut, but then............ he cracks it open again. ]}

Ichimatsu, uh. Maybe you shouldn't stay in there. I am sorry, my brother, but it probably isn't the best place to nap.

what
that's not
i never said

[ There's really no point to arguing this, and Aoba wonders if he's just messing with him. But it's even scarier when he's serious. Best to just move on. ]

nevermind

that's easy enough
actually that sounds like a lot of fun

i kind of miss playing around on sultry summer nights in a yukata
fireworks and sparklers on the beach
festival food
once i was out of the city with granny and I saw a lot of lightning bugs
they looked like green stars were swimming in the woods

[ There are two outcomes that will occur the moment you force Jyushimatsu awake.

1) You get locked in an inescapable wrestling hold, or...

2) You die an excruciating death.

The eye Karamatsu pries open shifts in every direction, then fixes itself onto his older brother. Jyushimatsu opens both eyes, the pupils of which become larger.

There's still time to run, Karamatsu... okay, no, there isn't. It's too late.

The murderous fifth born reaches out to grab the second eldest, and... ]

[ ... He wraps him in a fierce headlock, legs trapping the other's torso.

Thankfully, he just thought Karamatsu was about to pull a surprise wrestling move on him. ]

HMPH!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! BOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!

[He's not awake enough or in a sound enough presence of mind for this. At all. The door is shut again and he squints, nearly pushing it back open when Karamatsu just cracks it again, peering in. He makes a face.]

It's dark, the fuck's it matter? What are you doing getting into my closet anyway.

Oh you make it sound so dreamy!
Yes i am more than happy to accompany you for your fireworks on the beach
your festival food
and all of the lightning bugs

1,000 SUMMERS!!!!!

W-Well, I am readying myself for a romantic evening and I was going to use this mirror as I often do, but I didn't expect you to be sleeping here. Maybe you should move so I can do what I need to do!

Just a suggestion. There are much better places to nap! I'm not certain why this is your spot of choice. It seems.. suspicious. Are you sure you're just napping here?
_{[ even with as dumb as Karamatsu can be, he knows something is up. ]}

_{[ OH JESUS, SCREAMING. Karamatsu should know by now, really, he should, but somehow he's surprised. He staggers back from the sudden weight but doesn't completely fall over just yet.. ]}

OH MY GOD!! Jyu-jyu-jyushimatsu! I don't _{[ haaaaack ]} I don't want to wrestle! _{[ COUGH... ]}

isn't that the point?
there's always something magical about summer ♥

wait did i just volunteer to make you festival food

also why 1,000 summers?

[He flinches, both because he's just been told to move from his own space to get out of someone else's way, and because he's been caught stressing. He wants to be level about it, would love to figure out how to voice that he's upset, but that's more than out the window before it even has a chance. He shoves the door the rest of the way open and brushes past him.]

Who cares if I'm just in your way anyhow?

[He'll just sleep on the roof, that's his space anyway.]

[ Sorry, can't hear you over the BOEEEEHing and general weird sounds he's still making.

But I can't make Kara pass out mid-thread so he'll see that his brother is not fighting back and goes lenient, now full awake. His arms loosen up around Kara's neck, but now there's his big mouth nibbling at the top of the other's head. Ew. ]

Good morning nii-san!

[ IT'S PAST MIDNIGHT YOU DOOF ]

[Dave isn't quite complaining about the heat, but he's not a fan. He's lived in hotter places, he's adapted to the weather pretty well. At least, well enough to still be wearing jeans.

He'd rather die of heat exhaustion than be caught in a pair of shorts. Like a suburban dad. Like a nerd.

He's enjoying the air-conditioning in a coffee shop, working on something on his laptop nearest to the glass walls of the shop. He catches sight of something- someone approaching and obviously he accidentally makes eye contact with it because it's heading over.

Dave sinks down into his chair, but not fast enough to avoid the embarrassment that follows from Karamatsu tapping on the glass wall closest to him. Dave turns his head to look the other way, as if he didn't notice the man in a speedo and flippers tap on the wall next to him.]

Edited 2018-06-12 01:26 (UTC)

_{[ Dave.. Dave why.
He's the perfect victim for Karamatsu's shenanigans. Look at him, sitting in the coffee shop; was that him right under the aircon? It sure was, Karamatsu noticed, upon further investigation. He might would have been able to let that one slide if it wasn't for the fact that Karamatsu spotted another crime Dave was committing: thick denim jeans in the heat.

Oh. Hell. No.

The mysterious scantily clad man vanishes, but the charming bell of the coffee shops indicates somebody's arrival, and if Dave chooses to look up from his laptop he'll notice he has company right across from him. Either way, he speaks up, so you can't ignore him anymore: ]}

You there, young man!
_{[ young man, he's just a few years younger than you.. ]}

Do you realize you are committing crimes against summer time?

_{[ ignoring part of that message, la dee da.. ]}
Because the ideas you have... they are so sumemr like.. it makes me very happy. When it is summertime i want everyone to be in the spirit!
