    PRISMATICGAZE . @( witchpaw ) imperia @- ILLYA K. JERSEYBOY   HARRISON WICKLIFF   kageyama @( DREAM I. ) rhea s.


    [alright, the basics of this are, jw and illya are really close friends. so, illya adopted pris, and she basically got two dads because of how close the two of them are. peri and witch are jules adopted kids, and harry is his boyfriend in this au, it's up to dream and rhea's rper how rhea and illya are connected. and jersey is just the weird uncle that no one knows where he came from, and cannot get rid of.]


    Julian pulled into a parking space, it was a bit far away from the entrance, but today was a nice day, which was why they'd all decided to take a trip to the zoo. The minivan was crowded with people, Pris, Ilya's kid, his own two kids, his boyfriend, Illya's... well, JW wasn't sure what Rhea was to him just yet, and Kag along with Jersey. He wasn't sure how Jers had managed to get in there, but he was there, and Jules supposed it was too late to ask him not to come. Putting the car in park, and turning off the engine, he quickly hopped up, popped the trunk, and opened it. Harry's wheelchair was ready to be opened up and set up so that Harry could sit at ease and not exert himself. A soft whine came from the back, since it was a hatchback, and the dog was able to stick her head into the back seat, Jules had opted to let her stay in the trunk, but now she wanted out. "C'mere girl." It was Pris' seeing eye dog, a total sweetheart, and a very good member of the canine species.


    The dog hopped out of the car, and walked around to the door where Pris was going to get out, what a well trained dog, Jules was happy that Pris had someone to keep her company, and also keep her from falling, and running into things. He loved the little kid like she was his own daughter. He smiled cheerfully at Illya, and offered a hand to Harry to help the weak man out. God the poor guy, chemo was really wearing its toll on him. "Ready mon cherri?" The cowboy asked his french decent, though laced with a bit of a southern accent. He couldn't get rid of it, but he didn't much care.

    //I agree I am completely okay with that haha

    //also this is a sneaky track post because my muse is gone but I'll try to post soon!!




    An amused smile crossed her lips in response to her father's rather poor imitation of french. It was okay, though. He was doing his best. "Papan, it is 'cheri.' You are pronouncing it like an american," Peri chuckle softly as she hopped out of the car, landing lightly on the balls of her feet. Although Jules was not her biological father, he had taken her in after her parents died in a car accident. As the child of immigrants, she was pretty much doomed to be an orphan forever, but he was kind enough to raise her as his own. Besides, Jules and Harry were far kinder to her than her blood father.


    She observed the zoo in the distance, noting the chain link fences and tall trees. She hoped that the animals were treated well here: with enough space to roam happily and things to play with so they did not grow bored. Some zoos did this well, and some did not. Peri would prefer that all the animals be free to roam in the wilderness, but she knew that it was simply unrealistic in this cruel world. If they must be captives, she hoped that they were at least content and treated with kindness. "I would love to see the wolves," she said to no one in particular. There was a high probability of them hiding in their den as they were primarily nocturnal, but it was worth a shot to see her favorite animals.

    // psst jacob is harry's adopted kid so idk if you wanted to add him or not?


    Tommy didn't know why he was here. He had been dragged along by this big-ass dysfunctional family on the zoo trip. Maybe they wanted him to get off his lazy ass and do something for once? Maybe they needed an extra chaperone? There were lots of kids here, anyways. He certainly wasn't the best chaperone, considering that he had been asleep in the backseat most of the way here. Hey, getting 4 hours of sleep was not fun! He could've slept in, but not today.


    The Italian drummed his fingers against his sides, a tic that he sometimes got whenever he hadn't had a smoke in a few hours. He didn't want to deal with everyone's nagging, so he left his packs at home today. Tommy had a flask tucked away into the pocket of his hoodie, though when he pulled it out to take a drink, it was empty. Shit. He had drank it all on the way here! Dumbass, dumbass, he told himself. He threw it into the backseat, finding no use to take it with him, and he climbed out of the minivan. Tommy was wearing a gray hoodie with blue jeans and beat-up black converses. Whenever he was at social events or semi-fancy outings, he tended to wear vests and button-ups and things like that, but he was dressing extremely casually today. He didn't want to wear blazers while walking around in hot weather.


    Tommy retrieved a pocket-sized hair comb from his back pocket and quickly ran it through the "wave" of his hair. It didn't hurt to look good. Maybe babes came to the zoo. He put it away and glanced around. Jules and Harry were a couple that he didn't want to deal with, and he was third-wheeling behind Illya and Rhea, Kageyama rubbed him the wrong way, and the kids were probably going to be off doing their own thing. That left him and Imperia, and she might even end up sticking close to her adopted dad, Jules. Sheesh, he was a cockblock. Even if he wanted to compliment her on the simplest thing, he would probably raise hell. "This place got beer?" Tommy muttered, although it was a legitimate question. He didn't want to be stuck sucking on juice boxes the whole day. He needed his fill.

    Tiny hands felt around as she slowly slid out of her booster seat, the hot breath of her companion on her leg and a giggle coming from Pris as she finally made it out of the mini van. She held onto the canine that moved her closer to the group. Pris wasn't completely sure how she was supposed to fully enjoy this for being a blind child, though she could probably hear the noise they made or could even try to imagine just what everything looked like. But she wouldn't tell that to anyone (except Kageyama maybe) and just follow along, " I hope we can visit all the animals! " She said excitedly, giving her dog a quick pat before continuing, " But you're my favorite! " The dog placed it's muzzle into Pris' hand to show her appreciation to her human. She hoped everyone would have a good day at the zoo and maybe they could get ice cream afterwards! And perhaps everyone could hug each other! The small child hugged onto her dog just at the thought of this.

    ITS ONLY LIKE A LITTLE BIT CREEPY-☆

    Kageyama chose to travel seperately. He didn't like confining cars - it made him feel claustrophobic. So, of course, he took his bike. Kageyama pulled into a space beside them, turning the bike off and leaning it on it's kickstand while he sat on it. He pushed the visor up, Kageyama glancing towards the gathering group with a grunt. "Damnit." He muttered under his breath.


    Kageyama rose to his feet, unbuttoning the jacket as he headed over, leaving his helmet on the seat of the bike. "We ready?" Kageyama questioned as he showed up, resting a hand on his hip and the other on his pocket. He swept hair out of his eyes, giving his signature frown that he almost always wore.


    Died alone singing a poor man's song
    Chemo or no chemo, Harrison hated trips to anywhere. Unless they were trips to the bar, then he'd be fine. But shopping, arenas, malls were a no go for Harrison and this zoo thing was way beyond no at this point, the man was pretty much a hermit staying in the confinements of his home. He would have much rather be in his home anyways but he wasn't stupid enough to argue with Jules who was soo keen and so focused on doing this trip. With a half hearted agreement and a bit of preparation the man was here along with his family, parked ahead of a structure surrounded by chain linked fences with families going in and out by the dozen. A huge crowd, fuck was there any place that wasn't crowded these days? Apparently not.

    As everyone was leaving the car, the older male lagged behind for a bit, not because of weakness or because something was wrong - he drank enough coffee to fight the exhaustion, but because he had to lug around an extra piece of five pound burden with him. An oxygen tank. One he lovingly named 'Little shit' because it got caught in fucking everything.

    And of course, it got caught in his seatbelt and yanked his nasal cannula right out of his face when he tried to leave. The force was followed by a groan and as the little bits of plastic tubing hung off his shoulders he shoved the device back into his nostrils and secured the tubing behind his ears, making sure to use a hand to cover his face during the procedure. He didn't want Jules to panic, knowing the guy he'd probably go crazy over ten seconds without breathing assistance but really, not using the oxygen was only fatal when he was sleeping.

    With an angry tug the portable oxygen tank was yanked from the car and as he saw the hand which his partner had offered his way, he rekuctsntky took it and sighed as he heard the french that was soon followed by the question from Jersey and immediately his gaze snapped over to the guy.

    "This is a zoo, not a bar. You're on the wrong trip." He'd say towards the younger man before making his way over to Jules, sending his partner a miserable glance as if saying you got me here, now what?

    As kage asked his question Harry would turn to face the boy and shrug his shoulders with an uncertain cock of his head.

    "I dunno. Are we? Where's Jake?" And with that Harry pivoted on his heels in peered into the car again to see if the boy had gotten out yet.

    How the hell did they all fit in the van? She had absolutely no clue. But what she did know was that it was packed and squished. While she didn't mind being all close to Illya, what she did mind was the fact that everyone's hot breath was everywhere, causing the minivan to be quite humid and warm which was a tad uncomfortable. But, she managed to just get along with it for the ride there. She could only imagine how Illie felt....probably cramped up. But with his height? He was probably far more uncomfortable than the rest of them.


    So, when they parked, she waited for Pris to get out, before scrambling out herself....that way she could get some fresh air and Illya could as well. Damn. It was hot in there, now that she was out. Hot and humid and rather gross in her opinion. But, that was besides the point. She was out now.


    The girl blinked, fixing her outfit which had gotten quite rumpled on her struggle to get out. She straightened up her jacket. There. That was better. Re adjusted the camera around her neck (of course she wasn't going to leave it), before stretching and going up on her toes to arch her back which was hurting a bit. Once that was done, she looked at everyone who was out already. Rhea gave an amused scoff at Tommy's comment, shaking her head. "Always gotta have a drink, huh? Pretty sure there's a 'no alchohol' rule anyways." she would comment, brushing her silver hair from her face.


    She then looked to Pris and the dog, listening in on their 'exchange' with a small smile. How cute. She was hugging the dog.





    Alright, now that everyone was out, wait, where was Jakey?! The man froze before peering out to see that he was there, just sleeping in the back of the car, whew, they hadn't left him at the gas station, that was a relief... Harry might never forgive him for that. As the man had trouble getting out of the car, it took every fiber in JW's being to not jump in and help out, he knew that Harry didn't particularly like it when he did that, so he had to deal with feeling helpless and watching his partner suffer. "Alright sit." He ordered to the man, there was a place for the oxygen tank to go in the back, and then Harry could just sit, maybe doze if he wanted to... the point was, JW knew that some of the kids wanted to go out, and he didn't want them to go without him, or himself to go without Harry, hence the current situation. As Kag pulled up, he waved at the kid. "Nice riding skills." He said smiling, there was no way he'd ever let Pris get on that thing though. When the little girl hopped out of the car and flung her arms around the dog, Jules smiled... the seeing eye dog was quite the patient animal.


    "Alright... just need Jacob and my son..." He looked around for the boy, wait, had they left him at home?! He certainly hoped not because that would be quite awkward, but it was hard getting two families ready, and JW, while accustomed to getting people ready, having been in the army, kids were a whole new ballpark for the former lieutenant. He smiled towards Rhea, and Illya, before speaking... kids first right? "Alright... Perri wants to go see the wolves... Pris and Kag, what do you go see?" He inquired, looking into the car, he'd ask Jakey and his son as soon as they got out, or up... or if his son was even there. "Jakob... wake up, we're at the zoo." The man spoke sticking his head into the van.

    //*reads how Jules would never let Pris ride a motorcycle* oops :^). sorry for the late reply!


    Illya was indeed cramped, being (probably) the tallest one out of the group.


    He had been ducking his head the whole time, cursing in Russian about how uncomfortable he was. And he hated being cramped. The whole way he had been tapping his knee, a sign that he was starting to get agitated. But, finally, they had arrived.


    Scrambling out of the van, he took a deep breath. Sure, he was probably overreacting, but he was so uncomfortable in there it was unbelievable. He was still tapping his knee, and everyone's voices seemed a bit muffed and there was a slight ringing, but he slowly calmed himself.


    Turning to Tommy, the Russian shook his head. "This is a zoo. You think there would be any drinks at a children's place?" He exclaimed, finally calm enough that everything was now normal.

    Tommy rolled his eyes, giving a frown to the others. "Get offa' my case, eh?" Geez, these guys were never any fun. If they were dragging him along then they should've at least let him get what he wanted: alcohol. He lifted his gaze to Illya and he snorted, "What zoo doesn't have drinks? This one, apparently." He had been to many zoos as a kid, whether on school field trips or not, and a lot of them had bars and dining places for the adults. Tommy would've been legitimately shocked if this place was "kid friendly", though. Sometimes the chaperones needed a damn drink as well, because putting up with a hyperactive kid dragging them around the park wasn't easy.

    Rhea gave a quick nod to Jules. The wolves? She was down for that. She loved wolves...though owls were her favorite. Perhaps they'd all make their way towards the avian area eventually. But, the wolves were always interesting to see. She just kinda felt bad for them, though...being trapped up like that must have sucked.


    Upon Illya getting out, Re glanced over him for a moment, noticing that he looked quite agitated. So, she made her way over to the Russian. Once close to him, she gave him a smile, before grabbing the hand he had been previously tapping with, and holding it. That should help, right? Hopefully. She even gave it a friendly little squeeze. And while he seemed to calm down, she held on still. She shook her head with an amused smile at Tommy. Did they drag him there? She didn't know. "Last time I checked you crawled in voluntarily," she would point out. Damn. Sometimes he got on her nerves. But....apparently he was family. "Alright...I guess it's wolves first? And then we can see what Pris wants after that?" she suggested with a shrug.

    " Uncle Tommy, you're always drinking that stuff! Maybe you can get chocolate milk or apple juice! " Pris chimed in, wanting to be apart of the conversation with adults. She knew they didn't always want to hear what a little kid had to say, but she wanted to contribute. Though her attention was quickly grabbed at the sound of Kageyama's voice and had Princess Whiskey Bond take her over to him, " Um...um.こんにちは兄さん! " She had been practicing that for quite a while and felt very proud to get it at least somewhat right. She felt Whiskey usher her closer to the male as a car passed and was unintentionally made to lean on him for a moment before standing upright and listening to Rhea she turned to face in her general direction and answered, " Um...I wanna see the birds! So I can hear them sing! " She quickly replied, moving a few strands of hair that blew into her face with a slight breeze.


    [Okay so, headcanon for the dog's name is that everyone kinda contributed to her name. I only came up with three parts of it that being Princess (<- Pris) Whiskey (<- Jers) Bond (<- Illya). I put way to much thought into this. And others can contribute too ^^]


    //omg I love it. and, kaemi, you stalker >:0. low muse


    Illya frowned, his eyebrows furrowed. Deciding to ignore Tommy's question, he turned to Rhea and Pris. "Wolves and birds it is." He smiled, heading towards the entrance. He wanted to get in before everyone else did. And the man knew it would get busy quickly.

    ITS ONLY LIKE A LITTLE BIT CREEPY-☆

    "M' fine with anything." He responded to JW, before shaking his head as he watched everyone converse. He waved his hand. "If Jers wants a drink, fine. When he passes out, I'll load his ass on home." Kageyama called sharply, giving a small, malicious grin. He shook his head, clapping Illya on the shoulder.


    He grinned as Pris approached, leaning down to pat the dogs head - he winced, knowing that was against the law. He smiled softly as she spoke. Kageyama had been teaching her a little bit, just enough for her to get by, it seems. "Kon'nichiwa imōto." He replied, patting her head before grunting as a car rushed past, the dog pressing her into him. His hands settling on her shoulders, keeping her close before letting her go as the car was past. He patted her head, nodding to the adults.


    // Princess Inu Whiskey Bond, inu meaning dog, KAgeyama contributes

    If you don't want to change to put that in Kageyama sometimes calls the dog by it's alias 'inu'.
