143 visions of the future // fathers' day

[i_themagician]

At exactly 7:45 pm yesterday the sun did whatever it is that the sun does here on the solstice, which makes it officially summer now. The question of or not the celestial bodies here even exist is still up for debate, but pocket dimensions can be tricky things. I wonder what world we're borrowing the sky from? It certainly looks like Earth's -

I don't believe I did anything particularly helpful, but...you're welcome.

/decides to be nice <3

[i_themagician]

It seemed to have been quite accidental. You didn't realize I was mentally affected, did you?

Which I suppose says something about your opinion of me normally.

Either way. How are you?

/appreciates XDD

[phdinbones]

Of course I realized you were mentally affected. You acted as though you had never been in the City before.

And I'm fine.

[ooc: she's not. at all.]

[i_themagician]

You answered as though you were unaware, though.

[ Has never heard anyone say that and tell the truth. ] Are you affected today?

[oneeyesees]

I'm alright with having more responsibilities. Do you need me to come to the store right now?

[i_themagician]

I won't be there until a little later, as I have some errands to run first. Even then, I don't want to interrupt any plans you may have had. If necessary, I was thinking of leaving the store closed for the day if both you and Umi were otherwise busy.

The snowball fight was fun, wasn't it~?

...And here I was looking forward to meeting the man who gave you half of your very weird genes.

[i_themagician]

I'll have you know that his was the more normal side of the family.

[moresake]

That's not a difficult thing to guess.

[i_themagician]

What makes you say that?

Unrelatedly, let's stay up late tonight and go sledding for no reason!

[Sakura's just in her room, chilling. She's been looking at the network, worrying over everyone who seems to be having severe issues with the current Father's Day curse. She feels bad for them and then can't help but selfishly wish she had been cursed, too. It would be really nice to see her father again...

Hearing the knock, Sakura puts aside her device. She sits up from where she's lounging on the bed, calling cheerfully.] Come in! The door is unlocked.

[action] <3!

[i_themagician]

[ Opens the door, then, the jingle of the decorative coins attached to his robes giving him away before he's fully visible. He smiles, tilting his head just a slight bit in that way that he does. ]

My, it's been a while, hasn't it?

[action]

[strayfeathers]

[The sound is instantly familiar. One of her many recovered memories has that sound and can identify it right away. But it couldn't be...

Sakura's eyes widen and she gasps, springing from the bed to her feet in seconds.]

F-Father...?! Are you... Is that really you? I... I can't believe it!

[action]

[i_themagician]

[ smiles, just on the edge of laughter, and nods once. ] Yes, it's really me, Sakura-hime.

You've grown quite a bit since we last saw each other, haven't you?

Action / Possibly protecting Konata from spoilers

[i_themagician]

[ Presses a finger to his lips in a 'shhh' gesture as he turns to her ]

... Really here, yes.

Action

[i_themagician]

I'm sorry. [ Doesn't look like he's sorry at all, pfff. ]

Next time, I promise to knock.

[ Even offers pinky for swearing purposes! ]
