I really hope so. For starters, the dog doesn't even need clothes.

in that case I'll give him one of your shoes and he can chew on it for a whole year or so.

Ah, yes, I checked. It's a boy.

[ ooc: starter here. "Most of the night is a blur. Tell me I didn't hit on the mannequin." ]

[ You know me well. Also he's not going to delete nor the photos or the video, no. It's less because he wants to use it as blackmail and more that, like Vanya's book, he doesn't have any other record of his disaster family. ]

I'm talking about the present, Diego. God know if there will be a next week, I no longer plan time ahead.

[ ooc: starter here. "The cops asked Diego if he was drunk and he slurred "I'm man enough to admit that I am" with a southern drawl." ]

Truly an accomplishment. Or maybe habit, this seems to happen to him a lot.

((continuing from here))

[Drinking directly from the bottle, yes. Also literally hugging the bottle with one arm when Number Five teleports in. Apparently, he wasn't feeling too depressed to drink it earlier: it's already two-thirds gone. There's also an unopened — and free of backwash — bottle sitting at the foot of the armchair Klaus is occupying.

At his brother's sudden appearance, he exhales a greeting, like someone being woken up out of a nap.]

Hey, welcome.

[ ooc: starter here. ]

Five's already waiting for her in one of the tables by the window but he was polite enough to wait before ordering his own coffee. He didn't know what to expect but she sounded interesting when they talked and he was curious about Mystique's own problems with not looking her age. For a 13 years old kid, he looked unusually serious and controlled, which might get her attention.

[ ooc: Starter here. ]

[ Their bad luck is the true heirloom of the family, Diego. It's terrible. ]

Oh god, don't make me laugh or that might happen.

[ It's only a few minutes until Five is texting him again. The staff made a bit of a fuss at seeing him limping but they thankfully didn't comment on it.]

I didn't know that beds could vibrate. I thought they only did that in movies from the 70s. It feels funny.

[ ooc: starter ' When you're my size, trying to be the big spoon makes you end looking like a baby koala.' ]

[ He's not used as being wanted for the company, so her insistence in talking face to face is both touching and disarming. ]

I'll see you in ten minutes then.

[ Five used to live among the rumble of an old library, he won't be scandalized if her flat is less than tidy. Rey worries too much. But once the time comes and he ends in her flat, the teddy bear will get his attention for sure if it's within view.

He teleports into her living room, for once looking a little awkward. ]

continued from here.
[After giving Rey a little bit of a heart attack at her place, both Fives know they need to talk. They're overdo for it really. However it is hard to have a conversation in the house when one or more of their siblings are interrupting them.

So it isn't surprising that they end up in the public library after hours. It's one of the familiar places that feels like a home away from home. Of course, the fact that it is not in ruins doesn't change the fact that it had been something of a home base during their days in the wasteland.

As they stand in the upper level wing of the empty building, Five glances over to the equations they wrote on the columns, when they had been drinking away their frustrations with Delores by their side. From the looks of it, they hadn't vanished even though they managed to change the timeline and the library hadn't painted over them yet.]

Hmm, I don't know if I find this comforting or not.

[ He says simply, reaching out to place a hand on one of the columns. ]

[ The Swedes were not handling the Hargreeves mission in the 1960s very well at all. Each target had managed to escape and the Commission was growing increasingly impatient to get results as Doomsday wasn't meant to happen until 2019 and they needed the anomalies out of the timeline as soon as possible.

Thus AJ dared to call in a specialist. Though she wasn't a specialist that he called upon lightly. Especially as he knew her to be a bit of a wild card, but what choice did he have when Five and his family were just so crafty at evading some of the best of his people? There was a reason why Five was considered one of their best and he truly hated that the man had to go break his contract, his future could have bright.

Mina on the other was not like the Swedes, nor anything like Hazel and Cha Cha and even the Handler wasn't up to her level. Which was why AJ never spoke to anyone about his specialist. Thus Mina found herself in the 1960s tracking a family of misfits that were sort of endearing in their own ways. They kind of reminded her of her own wayward family, who were currently in a different timeline living their lives unaware and unharmed. Just the way she preferred it. After tracking the various members, she had signaled out Five as the actual leader of their family, thus she decided to approach him first. From the looks of it, he already wanted out of the timeline, so maybe she could help him without things getting messy. Maybe.

Quietly she stood out in the alley watching the building she knew he and his brothers were using as a base, biding her time. Though unexpectedly Five suddenly appeared in said alley as if he had been thrown there. Leaning against the wall, Mina crossed her arms and smirked at him.]

Now this is certainly a turn of good fortune...

[She spoke with a strong British accent as she gave him a sly smile. ]

At least for me.

[ She added after a beat. ]

It's just in case; with some luck, your clothes won't get stained at all. My shirt is beyond saving, but I'm used to it. All the more reason to wear black suits.

Nailed it. The rest of my family makes less of an effort to seem presentable, but she makes it look almost effortless. [ Granted, Five does try to look decent, but he ends up bruised or covered in blood often as well. ] You're not a fan of parties and people, then? I can't blame you.

Hah. That sounds like a comeuppance to me. It should teach them to be more careful. Good choice, if you ask him. Never let controlling parents tell you how to live your life.

[ It had been quite a while since Five had to adjust to not seeing his counterpart around. He hadn't counted on how lonely it would feel not have someone around that could truly understand him, without a word being uttered.

What made things worse was the constant state of flux as his siblings continuously disappeared and reappeared. So often that he finally felt the need to leave the main house, choosing to take Sammy and May with him. Though he did come back to the main house to check in on Grace and see which siblings would still be around.

He'd often bring Sammy with him as they would be out for walks. However today he had Sammy as well as May and her sister Mocha with him. All the pets needed their vet visit and it was just easier to take them all at once. He decided to drop in at the main house for his usual check in. Immediately Sammy was excited to be let off the leash, barking and jumping up on Five.]

Okay, okay. Calm down, buddy. You're going to frazzle the girls.

[ He says amused as he unhooks the leash and lets Sammy run into the house, figuring he probably smells one of the siblings that gives him treats or something. Five lightly chuckles as he looks into the carrier to check on May and Mocha. ]

You want to come out and play, babies?

[ He asks as he sits the carrier down on the floor and opens it to let the cats out next. Both cats slowly coming out, cautious but curious as always. Instinctively he clicks his tongue as he pets the cats. By now he doesn't care who sees him. He loves his fur babies as they are the only constant thing in his life.]
