Day 9 - THANKSGARBAGE

[pandatrash]

[Did you have a good Trashmas? If you kept any of the gifts that you were given, you will find that the raccoons placed a single poop somewhere in your room. Let us not dwell on the origins of said poop. This is the only punishment for failing to regift your Trashmas gifts.]

[Today's morning announcements are as follows:]

Did you know that after Trashmas, which we regret not calling Shitscram, there's another sacred raccoon holiday? That's right, today is Thanksgarbage! It's the day you cook a big, huge, giant, enormous, humungous feast and we eat all the trash!

[OBNOXIOUS LAUGHTER ENSUES]

It would be totally fucked up to have a killing night after Thanksgarbage, so we're not gonna! Everybody can enjoy food comas in peace! Especially us!

[Should you venture to the kitchen, you'll find it's suddenly stocked with a wide variety of ingredients for all sorts of fall foods; not just the American Thanksgiving and/or pumpkin spice fare, but Japanese ones as well, such as eggplants, persimmons, nashi, kobocha, chestnuts, Japanese sweet potatoes, and everything you need to make oden.]

We ate a lot of premade stuff before I figured out how to cook. I dunno how dad even survived that long, he used to eat ramen and junk food all the time. Even adopting kids didn't change that about him.

[afailedmurder]

So you were adopted, huh...

[neither judgmental nor pitying]

[flamingprick]

Yep! Dad adopted me and Yukio when we were just babies. He's the only dad I've ever known.

[Satan does not count, Rin doesn't see him as his father.]

[afailedmurder]

That must be nice. Is he a good dad?

[flamingprick]

Yep! He's the best dad in the world, nobody can beat him.

[He really loves his dad okok]

[afailedmurder]

I'm glad you got one of the good ones. Most adoptive parents only care about the money.

[flamingprick]

Money? What money comes from raising kids? I'm pretty sure Dad spent more money on me and Yukio than either of us ever made.

[afailedmurder]

Well, of course you're not going to make any money if you actually provide for the children.

[flamingprick]

Exactly! Besides, dad was a priest. Any extra money he got went to the poor if it didn't go to us kids.

[afailedmurder]

Ah, one of those types.

[his tone is only mildly judgmental]

Well, I'm glad things worked out for you. Many children in that position have difficulty finding their place in the world.

[flamingprick]

[ABOUT THAT...

actually no Rin's not going to talk about how absolutely fucked both he and his brother are right now. Positive thoughts, that's what's needed right now.]

I guess so.

Are you adopted?

[afailedmurder]

Ah, not exactly. I was passed around a few times and eventually sought emancipation. I live on my own now.

[flamingprick]

Do you?

[Poor guy. Rin's going to focus on the positives though, instead of how sad it is.]

You must be pretty good at it. I share a place with my twin brother, and even with the two of us it's hard sometimes.

[afailedmurder]

[positives!!!]

It's not so bad. Between my job and scholarships, finances aren't an issue, and I'm hardly ever home, so it isn't difficult to keep tidy.

[flamingprick]

You're a...blogger, right? That's the job you do?

[afailedmurder]

I'm a detective. The blogging is only a hobby...

[flamingprick]

A blogging detective? That sounds like a murder mystery tv show thing.

[afailedmurder]

You think? Perhaps I should sell the story rights.

[flamingprick]

So long as they make it a tv drama, and they hire good actors.

[afailedmurder]

Do you think they'd let me play myself?

Though that would cut into the actual crime solving...
