WHO: Klaus Hargreeves and Sirius Black
WHAT: Another arrival
WHERE: Near the center of town
WHEN: April 1

So things were not ... looking all that great. Sure Five had a plan, but was it a plan that would work? That wasn't even something that Five could say, but what else was there? Stay where they were and just let it happen? Or try and change it? Okay yeah maybe Klaus would have chosen to stay if it was just him, but the thing was it wasn't just him. It hadn't been just him for years. So they did it.

Or maybe they'd died trying, it was hard to say, the line was a little blurry there.

"Daddy?" He sat up with a start, his hands empty when not long ago they had been anything but, part of him expected to find Reginald standing over him ready to continue their talk from earlier. But there was no one else around. There had been a lot of turbulence though, the world ending and all that.

"Five!" He shouted, looking around for his littlest big brother, and then his biggest little brother, "Luther!", finally "Diego! Allison?! Vanya?" His tone a little less sure and a little more seeking with each name he called out. He frowned.

"Well that's weird, have you seen any of them?" He turned to where Ben ought to have been, his constant companion through the best of times and the worst of times. Only where Ben ought to have been there was nothing but empty space. "Come on, you're not out here trying to blame me for all this, did you see what we just did? You should be jumping up and down with me right now! I don't care that the world was ending!" Maybe he sounded a little like a petulant child, but well that was sort of his brand.

"Come on, is this because I said I didn't want to spend time with you? That was practically two years ago. Ben! Where are you!" The where he was all seemed so much less important than where his family had gone, he could deal with the rest of them not being where he could see them but Ben - Ben was a part of him. And something was very very wrong.

No, there was no screaming. Not unless you counted the people just doing it for the sake of it because boredom was settling in. James'd probably have a lot of screaming to do sooner or later. Sirius might join in too. But that was a different. It was fun screamy instead of yelly screamy.

"Like a summer holiday," Sirius mused, clearly liking the sound of that. He'd been on his before he'd ended up here, and it'd been good -- going out to hang with his best mates, visiting Muggle towns to get drunk and do karaoke, try weird foods and hit on anyone who looked good enough to notice. It wasn't the same here, but it was different now. He could deal with different.

"My Remus," Sirius agreed easily, even though it'd been something of a mistake, the way he'd said it the first time. But now that it was out there and out loud it seemed well right enough. "We'll have a good time," he promised and then stopped in front the row of houses. "Most're free minus those two there, and the end one there--" He pointed at a few.

"Never had one of those," Not really - but Klaus pretty much lived his whole life as a holiday so it wasn't all that important, but he imagined that his frame of mind was exactly like that, a summer holiday every day. Just enjoying himself and living each day like it might just be his last. That sounded like a summer vacation in his estimation. "Sounds right though, summer holidays."

Klaus never did mind someone calm and confidently taking up a little bit of ownership over someone, he certainly would have done the same if Dave was here, but that was not a thought that he was going to let himself indulge in. No instead he just grinned as Sirius agreed that yes Remus was his and that they could have a good time trying out the door sometime. "I'm sure we will." He agreed letting his eyes roam over Sirius just briefly.

He looked as the empty houses were pointed out nodding, "And which one are you in?"

"It'll be summer soon," Sirius observed, although he wasn't really all that sure how seasons passed in this place, if he was being honest. Still, he wanted Klaus to know he could very well have a summer holiday if he wanted to; it'd be soon enough. Even if it felt like something for a late start for a man who was clearly older than Sirius was.

"Brilliant," Sirius said, preening somewhat because he wasn't lacking in observational skills and was well aware of the look that he was getting just now. Sirius was fairly vain, and more than liked it when other people realized his good looks. Even if he was - er. If there was something with Remus. Enough to claim some ownership over, even if Sirius hadn't quite done anything else about it yet.

"I'm right there. Blue house. Can't miss it, so no need to be a stranger."

"That'll make this a first then," He decided, a vacation while he waited on the family to catch up - that really was life wasn't it? Waiting for his siblings to catch up and see what he did, whether it was the abuse of their father, or the pointlessness of their supposed mission, or Ben, and now this. He could use a vacation though, he'd had a rough couple of years recently.

If more people in this little town were like Sirius Klaus didn't imagine it would be much of a hardship for him to remain here for the time being. And if he was being honest he might have preferred this, he'd just been through kind of a lot, a chance to breathe and appreciate some good looking people was something he wanted to indulge in."

Following Sirius' finger Klaus took note of which house was his, "Not too far at all then," He agreed, "Guess I'd better pick my own then and see what other sort of trouble I can find around here."
