ic notes and random gab

Been awhile since I've seen a good snow like this, the kids are gonna have a blast in it at least. When it clears up, we long suffering parent types should get them all together so they can run out all the pent up energy.

[Kids]
I probably annoy you guys sometimes, but make sure you're all safe at school for this blizzard thing, alright? Go out, get what you need, get back. If you need anything else, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I might never get used to this place and how it works or the lack of understanding anyone seems to have about it. I'd really like to think people don't just decide to up and leave out of the blue without saying anything, but that's what they really want you to think. If that's the case, why can't you leave any time? Seeing that I don't want to leave, that's not really my point, but first Karina and now Barnaby without a word. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. Or about it. As long as it isn't Kaede...

You gotta stop having public freak outs when you're a semi-important figure, right? Right. Yeah.

Anyone out there happen to see Barnaby lately? Fluffy hair, glasses. Likes to wear red. Usually giving me a hard time about everything.

[Hero Kids]

Heeey, just wanted to check in with you guys and see how you were feeling about the whole school thing. I know it's a change from what you're used to, but if there's something I can do to make you feel more at ease with it, let me know. I don't want you kids to worry or be uncomfortable or anything like that. I want to get with all of you and double check this list of equipment for Natasha for those of you attending. You can let me know if you need anything else then too.

And really, you can talk to me. If you need to. About whatever.

[Filtered from the Hero kids, Kaede, and his mom]

That was easily the most painful phone call I've ever made in my life. Who lets me make my own decisions?

I swear to god I heard myself in the background.

Should have just called Antonio. Or Nathan.

Not Nathan.

I just... wanted her to know.

I need a drink.

Another one.

Why did I think this was a good idea again? Oh yeah...

On another note... anyone seen Karina lately?
( Sent when he's more sober to Jeanie and Natasha )

When is too soon to take down the Christmas decorations?

Asking for an overwhelmed mom.

I'd really rather not- This time of year is still-

Does anyone know any good bakeries? I would like to purchase some cakes for this time of year. Preferably vanilla cake with a buttercream frosting, but a variety would be nice.

I'd also like to know if there are any recommendation for metal polish. With Sato not here, I'm afraid I've taken him for granted with how well he took care of my suit and the abilities he gave it.

Kotetsu, that means you should be extra careful.

Backdated slightly to yesterday morning

It was... some kind of morning. That I spent helping pick up bark and tree branches from... pretty much the whole courtyard. Long story, don't ask. I don't even know. What the point really is... I need a drink. Where's the place around Ravenmoore to get a good one?

[Hero kids]

Sooo... I gotta ask... what happened with the tree? Do I even wanna know? I don't wanna know. Because guess who got a phone call because they said they would help keep an eye on you? I don't know what that tree did to deserve such a horrific death, but could we maybe not next time? It seems like something small now, but this is the kind of thing that earns kids like you bad press. Now, I'm pretty sure I know which one of you did it, but I'd rather you fess up. And if you're having issues maybe, I don't know, talk to someone or take a walk instead of causing property damage. I'd really appreciate it.

[Bunny]

I'm already starting to think I've made a terrible decision. It starts with explosions, what next? Oh boy... Anyway, you wanna join me for that drink? Or I could come bother you at your place. Your choice.

[Heroes!]
(Primarily aimed at the hero kids showing up, but able to be viewed by people like Barnaby, Karina, Natasha and other 'Avenger' types if you want to look at it that way)

So I've seen that there's a bunch of you hero kids showing up here. I've decided to make it my personal responsibility to help keep an eye on you! My name's Kotetsu and I've talked to one or two of you before. I want you to tell me about yourselves and your powers!

Let's start with me. As a hero, I was called Wild Tiger (no, not from the Wild Pussycats, I don't know what that is) and I have what's called the Hundred Power. Enhanced speed and strength. Used to last five minutes, but these days I'm a bit, uh, rundown. I've also got a daughter, her name is Kaede. Her power is, well, copying other powers.

Now it's your turn! Don't be shy! And if anyone else feels like introducing themselves to these kids, I think they should take the opportunity to. I'm lookin' at you Bunny. You too, Karina.

[Natasha]

Uh, hi. You don't know me, I just noticed you talking with that new girl. I'm obviously sort of looking to take them under my wing, but there's a bunch of them. At least I sorta assumed you were asking her what you were for a reason... in which case it's entirely possible I'm also wrong.

Anyway... we sorta on the same page here?

( You have (3) unread messages )

That was definitely one of the more, ah, interesting things I've had to go through. Good to see the neighborhood looking normal! I was getting worried for a second there Kaede might never be herself again.

Seeing that I missed something important while that whole thing was going on, any of you teenager types interested in earning a few extra bucks hanging out with an awesome kid for a few hours?

First off... Bunny, what the hell?!

I thought you were dead!

I learned to make fried rice for you!

We're partners, aren't we, old man?

Low blow, Bunny, low blow. Taking off on me like that. You planning to tell me why now that I've found you?

Second, I guess I should introduce myself. Kotetsu Kaburagi! Top charting hero when I was in my prime, cool dad, and master fried rice chef. Just which of those skills I'll be putting to use besides being a full time parent, I'm not sure yet. I didn't really plan that far ahead. In the meantime, I'm sure we'll be getting to know some of you as our new neighbors.
