29 Chimera Court, Saturday Morning

[firstofitskind]

Well, Liam's age could be measured in the single digits even on weekends where something hadn't happened to cause many of Fandom's residents to wake up as children. That didn't mean that this weekend's weirdness had skipped him, of course. No, the Liam who woke up this morning was actually child-shaped.

Which meant he had regressed to a point where he was still very new to, well, existence. He could tell that something was not-quite-right, but lacked the words to describe just what that was.

What he did know was that he was cold. Which was an easy enough problem to solve, he just pulled the blanket off the chair and wrapped it around his shoulders.

Then there was the strange rumbling sound his stomach was making. That... he didn't know what to do about, exactly. Clearly, some exploration was in order.

So, this was going to be Nathan's day, was it? Well, he was fairly resigned to it, at any rate.

"Breakfast today is scrambled eggs with cheese," he announced, nodding to the mostly prepped meal. "I don't have anything much more fancy than that, I'm afraid."

[what_the_shock]

"That'll do," Miguel said, partly still suspicious and partly trying to play it cool.

[shiroi_tiger]

"It had better," Nathan replied easily. "I haven't had a chance to buy groceries all week."

It was hard to count change with paws.

[what_the_shock]

"You can't just order them?" Miguel asked. Everybody could order things.

[shiroi_tiger]

"... Order groceries?"

Look, you could absolutely order groceries, but a Civil War era man who had been living in the mountains of Japan for the past six years wasn't exactly the person to talk to about that sort of thing.

[what_the_shock]

"It's better than going to the bodega," Miguel said, rolling his eyes. Even if the bodega did have a pretty awesome cat. "Delivery always has more, and they bring it to you."

[shiroi_tiger]

"Well, I enjoy the walk," Nathan replied easily. "If I sit around here all the time, I'm liable to lose my mind."

Said the guy who would quite happily become a hermit in the mountains of Japan just to live a quiet life away from civilization at large.

[what_the_shock]

"So why not go out and do something?" Miguel asked.

[shiroi_tiger]

"I do," Nathan replied mildly. "I buy groceries."

Oh, the excitement.

[what_the_shock]

Miguel rolled his eyes. "Something fun. Or interesting, at least."

[shiroi_tiger]

"Sometimes," Nathan drawled, "I also read the newspaper in the park."

Look, Miguel, Nathan had been involved in multiple wars at this point in his life. His idea of fun was not your idea of fun.

[what_the_shock]

"The newspaper?" Miguel was boggled. "On actual paper?"

What was this, the stone age?

[shiroi_tiger]

"Actual, honest-to-god paper," Nathan agreed, faintly amused at that reaction, yes. "What else would you put a newspaper on?"

[what_the_shock]

"The holonet," Miguel said. "Nobody reads paper anymore."

Okay, except his comic books. But those weren't news.

[shiroi_tiger]

"I suppose I'm just special, then."

Or antiquated. Nathan was fine with either.

[what_the_shock]

"That's one word for it," Miguel muttered. He didn't want to be too rude to a guy that was being nice, but really - newspaper.

[shiroi_tiger]

Newspaper was perfect for rolling up and swatting brats with!

"Indeed." Nathan inclined his chin a little. "Do you want anything to drink?"

[what_the_shock]

"Coffee?" Miguel asked.

No, some things never changed.
