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, frankly, it's likely to go on until Jack's satisfied that this thing with Euphie isn't just some weird rebound, trying-to-be-normal-in-denial-of-being-gay stunt of Kanji's... "Why don't you start with what it is about her that makes you want to be with her?" he asks gently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's an easy question to answer even when he's weirded out by the conversation. The short answer would be everything but he can't help but give a longer list. "She's really kind. She always sees the best in people, you know? She always makes me smile when we're together. She's cute and sweet and she's got pink hair." The hair is cute. He likes it.

	Jack smiles fondly, his affection both for Euphie as seen through Kanji's eyes and for his son. It's evident he really cares for this girl. "And how does she makes you feel?" he prompts, because really? That list of things could equally apply to a friend as to a girlfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's a teenage boy and she's got boobs, Jack, how do you think it makes him feel? He is all about that situation. But, again, he's a teenage boy and that means he doesn't always know how to express himself. He hasn't told her he loves her yet since that's a really big deal but it also means he's not about to tell a stranger he loves her, either. So he just goes pink and smiles a little sheepishly. "Good. She makes me feel really good."

	Well, until recently, Jack really had got the impression that Kanji didn't go for boobs. Hence the confusion. However, the extremely endearing blush that spreads over his cheeks is pretty convincing. Jack can't help but smile, happy to see his son happy. "Good," he says warmly. "I'm really glad you've found someone here who can make you happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Uh, yeah. Are we done here?" Because this is weird and he doesn't like it. And today he does like it and her but if Jack were to call him tomorrow he'll have a very good chance at getting a real conversation out of him while he tries to come to terms with how he feels today compared to every other day of the year. Its hard to get him to open up at the best of times, but tomorrow at the worst of times? That should be different.

Okay, so that's all he gets, is it?

"What, can't be bothered to spend any more time with your old dad than you absolutely have to?" he asks dryly, and then realises, loosening up a little: "Though I guess you're looking forward to time with your girlfriend." He grins, starting to shift. "Far be it for me to get between the two of you! Not when she's making you so happy!"

But yeah, he might well be giving Kanji a call tomorrow, when all's done and dusted.
