certaininequities: (my ego and its message)

leaving if he's mentioned this already up to you, whichever is more fun

[Norman knows that Peter, as his Designated Plus One, will show up in the Arcade if anythig DOES happen to him, so ... he knows which of his labs he's going to be working out of until the kid gets back. have they had that talk yet? hmm. if they haven't, he's sure not going to have it now.]

If you're going with Steven, I'm sure he'll make sure you're all as safe as you can possibly be out there. I hope you find something interesting. D'you need me to help you with getting any supplies, or anything? Or a ride to the college the morning of?
heyunderoos: (Glance/interested/Huh)

honestly funnier if Peter has no idea about his Special Arcade Boy privilege's

[personal profile] heyunderoos 2023-03-30 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I know for sure Sonic, Chiaki and Beat are going too. A lot of people signed up for this, so it'll be pretty safe I think.

A drive to the college in the morning would be really helpful. Only if you can anyway! I think I'm okay on supplies? I'm trying to not overpack so it doesn't hinder me walking around.
certaininequities: (oh isn't that great for you)

I had the same thought, big surprise

[personal profile] certaininequities 2023-04-18 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so half the family's going. :D

I'll bring both you and Sonic, then, if you'd like. And I can at least make you both a good breakfast so you don't start out hungry. When you let him know, find out what he'd like.
heyunderoos: (Walking/thinking/busy/neutral)

we love same joke

[personal profile] heyunderoos 2023-04-18 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, this is starting to feel like a really weird field trip. Like I need you and Otto to sign my permission slip next, lol. It makes it feel a little less daunting?

I think Otto might want to drive with us too. I appreciate the drive over and breakfast. It'll definitely make things way easier. I'll shoot Steven a message and see if he wants anything too.
certaininequities: (rare moment of joy)

our taste, it is good, yes

[personal profile] certaininequities 2023-04-19 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I've half a mind to write you one anyway, just to know what Steven's reaction to it would be.

Of course Otto's coming. I don't think he'd miss a chance to see you all off even if he was stuck as a nymph out on the lakeshore. He'd find a way: you're the son he always wanted, after all.
heyunderoos: (Laughing/delighted/Smile)

[personal profile] heyunderoos 2023-04-19 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
A lot of confusion probably, that feels about right. Maybe he'd keep it as the first permission slip he ever got?

I'm glad both of you are coming. It feels nice. Like hearing that is still nice too.
certaininequities: (rare moment of joy)

[personal profile] certaininequities 2023-04-21 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! Like new businesses and dollar bills! You might be right.

You're the son I always wanted, too, you know. Just so you're clear.

Maybe it can be framed next to their first artifact found or something.

I appreciate it. Just as long as I don't... make you feel like I'm replacing your actual son, you know?

[he's smiling right up until the bottom goes put from under him, like the first big drop of a rollercoaster. Peter gets to wait through a long pause. He had just been about to type "I don't have a son" - but then - why had he been so angry about - why was there a -

Norman freezes in terror as he grasps for memories he knows are rooted in things that happened. Galas. Company picnics. His Peter's graduation. Waking up on the floor to Bernard and - and - who? It was like someone had taken a bad eraser to his mind, and places weren't gone, only smudged. When he finally types again, it's terse more because his hands are shaking than anything else]

Peter, I can't remember him.

[Peter just kind of stares at the message a lot longer than he probably should, wondering what to even say.]

You don't remember him? Not even a little? You told me his name is Harry.
certaininequities: (tell me I didn't --)

[personal profile] certaininequities 2023-05-10 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[possibly the most terrifying thing, for Norman, is that even reading the message, there's no flash of recognition. no 'oh, right, HARRY, how silly of me'. there's just ... numbness, like a nerve that's been deadened.]

It's so strange. I'm trying. I can see places ... things that happened ... where he should be. But any time I try to focus on him ... I just can't. Like he's always at the corner of my mind's eye.

... What else did I tell you?
heyunderoos: (Oh honey no/Concern/UH)

[personal profile] heyunderoos 2023-05-10 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Did it happen from the last time you died?

Not a lot. You always seemed kinda sad when he came up, so I never pried.

I just know...

[Peter lays out what he does remember Norman telling him. It genuinely isn't a lot to go off of but it is something at least.]
