[A] - Backdated to just after New Year's - locked to housemates

[When notdad gets home early from work he looks like he's visited the market; he's got a few bags and he immediately goes to the kitchen. Soon after there's a sign on the closed kitchen door that reads 'Please keep out except for emergencies' and the sounds and smells of something cooking are coming from inside.

Towards what could be called dinner time, he's set the dining room table nicely; there's spots for all of them, along with bowls of thick pea soup with sausage, baked rolls with butter and cheese.

At both Canada and Hilda's places there's a small pot with a strawberry plant in it. The berries on it are small but very sweet; there's a card about how to grow them indoors during the winter.

. . . and hopefully, his notfamily can forgive him for considering Mayfield's words about the fakes and contemplating on how he'd kill them. He'll let them know dinner is ready.]

[B] - The park - open to everybody

[After dinner, the occupants of pet-house are taking a walk in the park; there's Canada and her bear and moose, Hilda and her pokemon, and Holland with his bunny. Feel free to awkwardly stare, or even talk to them.]

[B] - The park

[imbodytemp]

[Mesousa seeing Holland walking his bunny around walks over, his feet squeaking as he takes each step.]

Oh, hello. Is this your pet bunny that you were talking about?

[gezellig]

[Oh, hello. Talking rabbit. He'll definitely remember you.]

Oh- ja. Poffertje.

[He'll not at his rabbit, then to Mesousa. ]

He doesn't talk like you but I know what he means.

[imbodytemp]

H..He talks to you??!

[gezellig]

In his own way.

[Shut-up Holland he doesn't talk at all.]

[imbodytemp]

What does he say! Other rabbits never want to talk to me...

[acuity]

[ did someone say pokemon! because platina would definitely be checking those out 8D ]

[achromous]

[Six Pokemon--Samurott, Liepard, Maractus, Cinccino, Reuniclus, and Mienshao. Maractus in particular will be quick to wave excitedly at someone watching them.]

[acuity]

[ oh wow shiny unfamiliar new pokemon, clearly she must investigate. Platina approaches Maractus first, you friendly charmer you! ]

Hello... I wonder what kind of pokemon you are...?

[achromous]

[Maractus spins around excitedly.]

Maractus Mara!

[Hilda is watching a short distance away, but doesn't seem to mind Maractus doing the talking, so to speak.]

[acuity]

[ ... s-socute. she tries not to miss her own pokemon, and fails. it seems pretty tame, so Platina cautiously tries to pet it, while glancing around for a trainer. ]

A Maractus? Perhaps you're from a different region than I am... would you happen to have a trainer?

[forever_cheery]

[Aurora stares for a moment, before breaking out into a wide grin.]

Wow! You all have so many pets! That's great!

b'aw, sorry for some reason I just never saw this

[gezellig]

Mmm, maybe.

[He doesn't count the pokemon.]

aww. 's okay

[forever_cheery]

It's like a little zoo. Is the bunny yours? And... what are those? [She looks to the Pokemon. She's not sure she's ever seen anything like them before.]

[gezellig]

Yeah, he's mine.

[Looking at the pokemon. . . so much judging.]

Those are animals the she trained.

[Not pets.]

[forever_cheery]

Is he from your home or did you get him here? I was thinking of getting a pet. If my housemates are okay with it, that is.

A

[mounties]

[She's been loitering nearby, curious about what's going on in the kitchen (not hers as much as the possessive thought has started to creep in at times in the past few months) but she doesn't bother Netherlands as he uses the kitchen for as long as he needs to. When he does let them in, she can't help but look over the strawberry plant, contemplating a moment before setting it back down. Hilda's either not around, or not paying attention, so Canada simply leans up to press a kiss to Netherland's cheek, sheepish and shy as can be.]

Umm... thank you for the plant.

/slow. . .

[gezellig]

[. . . she's kissing him. It's a bit of a relief, especially because she's not shooting him, but still.

Best way to awkwardly deal with kisses from a pretty nation. . . say nothing. That's what he does.]

[mounties]

[The fact that he doesn't really respond makes her take her distance back, stepping a ways away from him and simply watching him a moment, waiting for him to say or do something. Sorry, nothing about this is supposed to be easy.]

[gezellig]

[. . . that's not what he wanted to have happen. Realizing he should have said something, he takes the plant and moves over closer to her, handing it to her again.]

They're sweet.

[And he'll take a berry off and hold it out to her.]

[kinship]

[Cain hadn't imagined Holland as a bunny-type person, honestly, but he smiles when he sees his friend.]

Happy New Year.

[gezellig]

Ja, as happy as we can make it, here.

. . . good day for the park.

[kinship]

Right, a good day to... walk your rabbit in the park.

[Seriously, Holland?]

[gezellig]

[He'll nod in agreement. It was a good day to walk his rabbit in the park. He takes bunny fitness seriously, okay.]

It is nice out.

A

[achromous]

[Hilda examines the plant curiously; she's never actually grown one, spending most of the time on the move, but she decides she'll do her best to make sure this one does really well. She hugs Holland, because he probably needs one after everything that happened at Christmas.]

Thank you.

[She forgives you. But maybe stay away from Samurott for now. Luckily he's in his Pokeball.]

[gezellig]

[What a nice hug. . . he and Hilda have been through some tough things together and he's grown very fond of her, so he'll hug her back with one arm around her shoulders. The Pokemon can sleep in the house forever.]

Mmhm. They're sweet, the berries.
