Day 331 (strange relations) / Open Video / Picnic Mingle
[Have Euphie's smiling face on the screen. Kanji and I would like to invite you all to a picnic today! Of course we want to see all our family there, but friends and soon-to-be friends too. [That means strangers.]

You don't have to worry about bringing anything, but if you'd like to bring something extra to share or a game that would be fun or even just an extra blanket just in case that would always be welcome.

We'll be in Trois Park near the koi pond and fountain at noon today.

[There will already be some blankets laid out and pink picnic baskets with a variety of food—many of which have been prepared in extra cute ways like rice balls shaped like cats. You probably think this was mostly Euphie's doing, but it was mostly that boyfriend of hers, Kanji.]

(OOC: Mingle! Tag yourself in or hit up Euphie on video here or at the picnic here. Want to be a relation of Euphie's? Just let me know!)

[Well, even if he wasn't family, the picnic was for friends as well, wasn't it? And Jack was the kind to shoehorn his way into any kind of party!

He turned instinctively at the sound of her voice, registering just in time from the greeting that this wasn't his wife but her younger double. He grinned.]

Of course I am! Couldn't let Kanji do this without support, could I?

	Well, no. I guess not. [She chuckled.] But, I think he could handle it on his own with Euphie around, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-09 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, god yeah, not that kind of support! He's already forbidden me from getting anywhere near those fiddly little cakes of his. I just don't have the dexterity to help with those. [He grins, comfortably.] I meant more of the 'being here, looking on in a proud parental way' kind of support. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-07-11 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Parental way? [She looked a little confused. She didn't remember Kanji as a cousin.] You mean that metaphorically, right? [Though, Jack was a bit of a whacky uncle. It could be that he just took Kanji under his wing, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-11 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	[Jack looked confused too, trying to work out in what way it could be metaphorical. He failed, and looked at her, his head on one side.] No, I mean it literally...? [Upward inflection at the end, inviting an explanation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-07-15 02:57 am UTC (link)
	[She tilted her head.] What are you talking about? He's not my cousin. [All the confusion. Then she smirked a little.] Wait... did you adopt him and not tell me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-15 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	[All the confusion, and then some! His brows were drawn in tight with incomprehension.] No, he's not, and no I didn't adopt him, and why should I tell you anyway? </small>[You're not his wife. That's the other Kitty!]</small> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-07-16 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Huh? What do you mean? You're my uncle. Why wouldn't you tell me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-17 07:03 am UTC (link)
	I'm your... uncle? [Trying vainly to work out that one. Maybe she just thinks he's avuncular because obviously he sees echoes of his wife in her, only younger, so there's some sort of connection there?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-07-17 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	Uh... yeeaaahhh... C'mon, Uncle Jack. I know you can be a little whacky at times, but this isn't cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-20 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	[Slowly, still trying to figure out a way this makes sense...] You don't mean you think of me as an uncle because I'm married to your alter ego? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-07-21 08:38 am UTC (link)
	You're married to Kitty? [This was getting weirder and weirder.] Something's definitely not right here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-07-21 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, of course I am! [And then, because he wasn't completely stupid and there were getting to be too many things to deny:] No, it's not. [A breath, and an attempt at a smile.] Look. I'd be honoured to be your uncle. Forget I said I wasn't, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-08-04 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	[She nodded a little, but still looked concerned.] You don't think... it's another thing... you know, when stuff goes all like wonky and whatnot... because we're in Marina? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-04 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	I think it's definitely one of those things, yes. [He gives her a helpless look.] I'm sorry. With any luck, considering these things only last a day, I'll wake up tomorrow and remember being your uncle again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-08-06 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. Or I won't be as disappointed because I'll remember that you're probably not. [She frowned a bit.] Sorry for all the confusion. It's just... weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-08-06 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	[He chuckled, shrugging helplessly.] Yeah - no way of know which of us has it right, is there? Not until tomorrow, at least! [He softens a bit, smiling at her.] Am I a good uncle, at least? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2015-09-03 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. [She had to chuckle a little, and then nodded.] Oh, yeah. I mean... a little weird and eccentric, sure, but that's not a terrible thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
