Restful Nature ( Autumn/Open )

[Katsuri Katashi]

OOC: This thread like all of my threads is open. Feel free to post.

Another long droll day, but the good thing about boring days was that they were peaceful, relatively free of issues that people had. This day was thankfully no exception to that rule of thumb. Katsuri was resting peacefully on one of the many benches littering the outside of the school, right near a corner of the building which provided him with shade.

Anyone whom saw the man would probably be perturbed by the hunk of metal wrapped around the lower half of his head, after all, he had managed to scare the pants off of virtually everyone he had seen this morning with a mixture of his sheer size and this thing around his face that made it look like he was being prevented from sinking teeth into someone.

His body was aching slightly, and this prompted his hand to come up, pulling against the inside of the mask and unlocking it, allowing it to open to either side, almost like a Predator would in the movies. His face was revealed underneath, and with it, a hand disappeared into his right pocket, pulling out a simple silver flask that had its lid removed so swiftly one would have had to have the eyes of a hawk in order to keep track of the movements.

The end of the thing was pressed to his lips just as swift, and upwards in the same fashion, allowing a rather deft amount of that brown liquid to hit his tongue and immediately flow down his throat towards that gullet of his to send warmth and ache relieving medicine all through his body. The lid was replaced on the flask and it was set to the right of his body. An intake of fresh air allowed him to finish that relaxing nature and the exhale followed would have signified he was closing the thing back down on his face, locking it in place.

"Drift by, through life, with not so much as an effort to learn, to be, to live, to exist.. and here you sit, finding what you have lacking." A comment to himself and he would have set his head back allowing it to rest against the wall.

[Autumn]

Autumn had vanished off the face of the planet it seemed. She was here one day and was gone the next. In truth Autumn had tried to do homeschooling thinking it would be easier for her, her mother and her children. However, the kids refused to allow her time to get her school work done and so Autumn was back here at the place she didn't want to be. The place that felt more like a prison then a place to learn anything. With a sigh she made her way around the school. It was her break and she would be meeting her mom who would drop the kids off with her for a little while. When Autumn found the area she was supposed to meet her mother she stood on the curb. She wore a black t-shirt and studded bracelets. A long black skirt went to her ankles and black combat boots that weren't tied up all the way adorned her feet.

Autumn had gotten tired of trying to hide who she was and so she didn't bother to look around to see who might see her. Her arms crossed as she waited for her mother. The dark grey mini van pulled up in front of her and a frantic looking blond woman got out. She hugged Autumn quickly and kissed her cheek as she and went to the trunk and pulled out a twin stroller. Autumn smiled faintly and opened up the side door. She leaned in pulling out one of her twin daughters. The small child's hand wrapped around one of the red streaks that hung down around Autumn's face. The rest of her black hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail. The child cooed and Autumn smiled and nuzzled the baby gently. Her mother brought the stroller up to her side and Autumn put the baby in the stroller. Her mother buckled the child in and Autumn reached into the car again to get the other baby.

"So how long will you be gone mom?"

Autumn asked as the baby rested on her hip. Again little hands wrapped around her hair and tugged lightly.

"Oh well I need to run by the store and I need to take Demon to the vet. Maybe a few hours?"
"Mom.... my break is only half an hour."
"Oh... well you can take the kids with you? They will probably sleep through it."

Autumn sighed softly and kissed the baby in her arms on the nose. The baby giggled and mumbled a couple words that weren't words.

"Alright, Give me a call when you are coming to get them."

The woman kissed Autumn's face and then both of the babies before jumping into the mini van and taking off. Autumn strapped the baby she held into the stroller beside the other one. Both babies giggled and reached their arms for her.

"Looks like you guys are spending the day with mommy."
"Mommeh!"
"Mm-m-mommeh."

Autumn smiled and stood back up adjusting the low cut t-shirt. She sighed and got behind the stroller. She got it over the curb and onto the sidewalk. As she walked both children talked to each other and to those who walked past them. Autumn ignored the girls that stared at her as she walked past, though as she walked by the boy with the metal around his face the babies saw it shine and it caught their attention. Both Tyler and Emily started to grunt and motion over to the boy. Autumn was content with just walking past but her babies began to fuss. with a sigh Autumn stopped the cart and walked to the front of it. She knelt down in front of the cart.

"Hey, hey... knock it off. You can not have that. No touch. Do you understand?"
"Mmmmine!"
"No Tyler, not yours. Here, play with mommy's house keys."

Autumn reached into her skirts side pocket and pulled out her house keys. She jingled it in front of the babies but they seemed bent on getting the boy's attention. They began to hold their arms out to him and cause all sorts of noise. Autumn sighed and rubbed her forehead. Emily, eventually quieted though. She took her mother's keys and jingled them happily, but Tyler wanted the shiny mask that the boy wore.

It did not take long for the gods to stir up something in order to distract him from his thoughts, he should have expected it though, after all peace was never guaranteed it seemed, not that he was complaining. A simple lick of his lips, hidden away by a mess of rubber and metal formed together to create that devious looking mask that clasped around his face akin to the sort Hannibal Lecter wore.

Children. Children with what seemed to be an underage girl, now this was certainly in the more interesting realm of things, so it should not have been a surprise when the lips which had so recently been licked turned up into a grin, a rather amused one at that. So.. you test me again.. or more so.. continue to test me.

"Humorous god is." A comment out loud, one meant mostly for himself, but he left that up to the other present, or others rather, to decide upon if they wanted it to be heard or not. Rising from that bench, having long since noticed the little boys fascination with the mask that was wrapped about his skull, and found it intriguing, although, knowing it was most likely because it was shiny.

The girl had been satisfied with the keys. He would have walked towards the woman, standing now fully upright at all eight foot of his stature. A behemoth. "It seems you are having child problems Ms?" An odd manner of asking her name, but it was done so as not to be just be straight up asking out of no where what in the world her name was and coming off as a stalker type.

He would have leaned down, crouching all the way down so that he could be closer to the children in the stroller, glancing to the boy whom seemed so intent upon grabbing his mask, cocking his brow slightly and smiling as he watched the little boy, letting that mask shine slightly in the sun so as to distract him more.

"Humorous god is."

Autumn glanced over at the boy sitting on the bench. Her attention turned back to her daughters.

"Tyler knock it off right now."
"Mmmmmeh!"

The problem with having a rebellious mother is it often carried onto the children. When small minds form they cling to what they know and if their mother is rebellious and tends to get her way, the children do as she does and get their way as well. Autumn was trying to keep them from crying, the only reason she had not walked away. She grabbed Tyler's hands gently in her own.

"Tyler come on, calm down for mommy."

Emily gnawed on the keys with happy sounds as she did. It was easy to tell that out of the twins, Emily was the easiest to raise. Tyler began to giggle insanely as the boy on the bench stood up and made his way over. Autumn hadn't noticed him until he spoke up. It startled her a bit and angry black eyes turned up to look at him as he crouched down. Sure the guy was huge, but Autumn could take him. Well, she believed she could. Tyler's little hands put finger prints all over the shiny mask that the boy wore. Autumn didn't really trust anyone here and having someone near her children made her uneasy. She tried to hide it though the tenseness in her body was probably a dead give away.

"Thompson."

Though that was her last name. People were now looking at them. They were probably questioning her parenting. After all she let some guy with a metal trap over his face near her children. Tyler talked in his baby words and poked at the face mask. Occasionally he said normal words but he was too happy to think at the moment and was just talking. Soon Emily noticed the large boy with the mask and she tugged on her mother's shirt. When Autumn looked over at her Emily gave her mother back the keys and shifted in her chair so she poke at the mask her self.

"And you are?"
"Mmmmommeh! Shiny!"
"Yea Emily. Mommy sees."
