text | Caleb's Phone Number | the day Yu gets in

[actnormal]

Hey! When does your plane arrive?

[yumadbro]

About 1PM your time, last I checked.

[actnormal]

ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ

Text me when you land and I'll send you a photo of the car so you know what to look for!

[yumadbro]

Sure, but you don't have to go out of your way if it's a problem. I should be able to find my way around.

[actnormal]

Dude, I'm a self-employed small business owner. What's the point of all that if I can't come get people from the airport? It's fine!

[yumadbro]

You know, that's fair enough.

[And sure enough, approximately one baggage claim of time past 1pm:]

Hey. I just got out of the airport.

[actnormal]

[And there is a photo of a Nice Car with a silly raccoon decal in the back window. At least it'll be easy to find.]

[yumadbro]

[....cute,]

[Suitcase in tow, it fortunately did not take Narukami terribly long to track down the Trashmobile, greeting Caleb with a wave that was just shy of 'awkward'. God help him, the boy was not very social.]

Uh...hey. Caleb, yeah?

[actnormal]

[Rude, Gil bought him this car after Jolene stole the other one! It's very nice!

...mostly. Caleb is pretty bad at cleaning out junk food wrappers except maybe once a week. It's fine.

But he smiles and waves when Yu approaches, getting out to help him get his luggage loaded. His tail is flicking about all excited. (He didn't bother to hide it, since surely Yu isn't supernatural.)]

Yep, that's me! Welcome to Kaisou.

[yumadbro]

Nice to meet you.

[Blessedly oblivious for a rapidly dwindling amount of time, he didn't remark on the tail as they loaded up the car.]

Thanks--I appreciate the help settling in.

[actnormal]

Hey, we're family. Of course I'm gonna help you get settled. Oh, are you hungry?

[yumadbro]

A little, sure.

[says guy who just got off a 10+ hour flight]

You know anywhere good?

[actnormal]

[He reaches over and opens the glove compartment. About fifty different fast food menus are stacked in there somehow.]

Pick a place.

[yumadbro]

...Wow.

[>'How the hell did you fit all those in there?']
[>Your Expression isn't high enough...]

I guess pizza would be the traditional kind of thing, right?

[the quintessential 'just moved and haven't unpacked' food]

[actnormal]

I mean, yeah, or there's tacos or burgers or Waffle House or honestly you name it, Kaisou probably has it!

[yumadbro]

It's okay--something simple's fine, really. I mean, unless you wanted something specific?

[actnormal]

Nope, just making sure you knew you had options. Pizza it is!

[He starts heading towards his favorite pizza place.]

We'll get it to go. You're probably tired.

[yumadbro]

Yeah, I guess so--really underestimated how long of a flight it would be. It wasn't bad, though.

[actnormal]

No screaming infants or funny smells?

[yumadbro]

No. There was a cat that escaped its carrier and went running up and down the aisle, though. Don't think I've ever seen one with such a complete lack of regret once it got caught.

[actnormal]

I need to introduce you to Mei.

[His Delcatty. Yu will probably just see her as a cat.]

Or AstraLatte. Neither of them regret anything ever and it's driving me nuts.

[yumadbro]

...That sounds nice, actually. Are they a lot of work?

[The beginnings of an aspiring cat dad.]

[actnormal]

Mei isn't, but AstraLatte and the rest are. She tends to, like, parent them because of it. It's actually kind of cute.

[yumadbro]

Sounds like a trap. 'Get two cats, they promise one of them will be normal'. Then you turn around and they've unionized to demand fourth dinner.

[actnormal]

...please don't say that where they can hear. They might get ideas and then I'm screwed!
