[ ah, it's sunny out...
you know, as i get older i realize the days just start to blur together. i can't really tell one day from the next 'cause it's all the same to me. i do the same things over and over again that everything i do has lost meaning to it.
i wake up, i eat breakfast, i go to school, come home from school, sit around and play some games while i do my homework, eat dinner somewhere along the way and i go to sleep.
and then it repeats, just like that, every day. and it's been like this for, what, i dunno -- half of my life? and then this is just going to keep on going for... however long i'm alive for. it's really boring, isn't it? living that kind of life.
which is why, right at this moment, i sigh heavily. before me stands perhaps the greatest obstacle of my day: a hill that i must climb in order to reach the school campus.
ugh, anything but this...
it's true, this route could easily be avoided -- if i wake up early enough, i could take the longer way around, or if i had a bicycle i could just bike my way up the hill, or if i had friends who lived in my neighborhood, they could walk up with me and it wouldn't be so boring.
except it's all too much trouble and i'd rather not waste my time. it's going to be more work to figure out an alternative. best not to prolong the inevitable, either -- i'm going to have to climb this hill for the next two years of my life anyway.
it's way too early for this.
i take my first step -- left foot first -- and just as my foot is about to hit the ground, my right foot just about to push off to take the next step, something odd happens. it takes me by surprise and i stumble, losing my balance after not even one single step and i fall to the ground, my ass meeting the pavement that i would have been treading along had things... gone to plan, i guess.
something rustles from the bushes to my right, and within a moment's notice something i've never seen before comes out from it. a dark puddle or blob or something moves to the left, a little, then to the right. it stops, moves forward and then moves back... and looks right at me.
-- panic settles in --
what the hell is going on right now? why is it looking at me? shit --
why is this happening to me? ]

Underwear.

That was only a joke, my dear. An attempt to get you to relax. You seem a little tense, all of a sudden - did your father send you a message you didn't like?
no subject
[ Or at least, a friend you remembered you had just now.
We start heading towards the shopping district, and my mind can't forget my dad's words. God, what a pervert! You think he could be a little more sensible like mom, but he just isn't! Augh.
Ruri, I'm so sorry. ]
He just. He was being a little silly, is all. Uh, see?
[ I pull my phone out and pull up Dad's message. I show it to her. ]
He was just joking around though, swear!
no subject
[Not that Ruri would know what having that sort of friend would be like...
Ruri blinks owlishly at the message, tilts her head a little, then... blushes, forces a laugh.]
Your father seems a little bit like my mother! You should have seen what she was like when my elder brother was first meeting his girlfriend. Well, she's his wife now, but...
Ah, wait, these details are boring. I understand that parents can sometimes be silly, I assure you!
Why don't we go looking for winter clothes? It's getting colder soon. Some sort of coat, perhaps.
no subject
[ Eyebrow raise. Except, I don't really know if I want to know if Ruri's gone underwear shopping with a friend before.
I notice that she's forcing herself, so I turn to point at a little cart parked to the side. ]
Hey, you hungry? We should eat something first. Crepes from this gramps is really good.
[ I wave to Gramps. He waves back. ] We'll shop for coats after a bite.
