Orphanage...

Is...that how you ended up the guardian for your brothers? You were all in an orphanage?
steelo: (173.)

[personal profile] steelo 2019-10-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah.
we were for a long time. in and out of foster care, for the most part.
there was a war, parents died
that's about it.
doreimi: (PROFILE ♡ my bro your aesthetic is shit)

[personal profile] doreimi 2019-10-21 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. That must've been really hard...

How old were you, when it happened?
steelo: (177.)

[personal profile] steelo 2019-10-21 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
pretty young. [ aka: canon hasn't told me yet ]
it's in the past
doesn't matter. we're a family now, that's all i care about

...You know, I never thought to put it this way before now. But I guess I'm one, too. An orphan, I mean.

I'm glad you still have your brothers. And that you were able to stick together.

I know it's pretty dismal stuff to talk about but the more I hear about you and the things you've been through, the more I admire you, you know.
steelo: (53.)

[personal profile] steelo 2019-10-21 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
we gotta stop having these deep ass conversations over text, lol

i am too.
i don't really want that to define me, anyway
what i did and who i was doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, not when like you said
we're able to stick together.
not that it matters in this isekai bullshit moon world
i wish you could meet them, you'd love them
but it's probably a good thing they aren't around lol

i've got a long way to go before it's anything admirable.
but i appreciate it anyway.
being an orphan's a shit thing to have in common. i'm sorry that happened to you too.
doreimi: (STARS ♡ now i just need some joes)

[personal profile] doreimi 2019-10-21 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know how it keeps happening! You must just be nice to talk to. Making me feel at ease. :P

Do you really think it's possible to get away from the things that have happened to you? And not let them define you, I mean. I think...you can't stop them from being a part of you. But maybe you can at least stop them from being all of you.

And at least it's not the only thing we have in common, right?
steelo: too many drinks (112.)

[personal profile] steelo 2019-10-22 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
haha
i wish it was possible to get away from it, but
i kind of don't, too.
it was a bad part of my life but i've done everything i can to make up for it
to my family and to my division
and besides, it got my bros out
i don't regret it.

but it'd be nice to be remembered as the owner of yorozuya yamada, not as the worst delinquent in ikebukuro lol
i'm not gonna lie about it.

definitely. :P
that'd be pretty fucked up
it'd be pretty fucked up if you were a rapper too, though
as long as you don't live in chuuoku outside of lunatia, we're cool
doreimi: (WARM ♡ like sunshine soft as a sigh)

[personal profile] doreimi 2019-10-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, no, trust me, I'm not a rapper. I'm actually not
I mean. I'm pretty normal. There actually isn't a whole lot special about me at all! So you don't have to worry about anything like that. I used to play the violin in a club at school but that's really about it.

And my hometown is really small. It's near a much bigger city and a lot of people commute there for work, but we're a pretty quiet and friendly kind of place. You know the kind of neighborhood where everybody on the street knows everybody else and waves when you walk by? It was like that. I'd never even really left it before I came here.

Yorozuya Yamada, huh. How long have you owned it?
steelo: (162.)

[personal profile] steelo 2019-11-05 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
you're still not convincing me you aren't a protagonist with that kind of talk.

bukuro's kinda like that, though. it sounds nice.
i know everybody around town from work, and from being division leader
i think i've probably done a job for the entirety of ikebukuro
it's the only home i'e ever known, too.
"it takes a whole village", stuff like that.
so for you this must be kind of a culture shock then, right? this place's huge.
you're taking it well lol

the odd jobs place? a year or so
i've been working since i was fourteen though
it's only now that i've got my own business
gotta keep food on the table
my bros work with me too, but i monitor what kind of jobs they're doing so they're not inappropriate
family business. :)
[ even over text, he sounds proud... yorozuya yamada is one of his proudest accomplishments ]
doreimi: (EH ♡ wait he punched the spaghetti)

[personal profile] doreimi 2019-11-05 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely, the people are the biggest difference by far. I can sort of get used to all the buildings and everything because at least I've seen that in movies, but walking around in the city center or trying to shop in a crowded store on a really busy sale day? I'm not used to being places that are so crowded that you have people bumping into you all the time.

The Academy, too! It's waaaaaaaaay bigger than my old high school was. I got there an hour early on my first day just because I was so sure I'd get lost three separate times on my way to my math class!

You really do everything together with your brothers, huh? But, fourteen...you really had to grow up fast, didn't you? I hope while you're here, you get to do some fun things, too, and make up for the stuff you probably missed out on.
