Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:03:33 PM)
*Andy would hear the sound of what might be a 1970s minibus pulling up the driveway*
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:04:14 PM)
(I can play too?)
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:04:20 PM)
(of course!)
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:04:25 PM)
(i was just going to play andy's parents, that's all!)
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:04:45 PM)
Oh gaia...*looking up* I know that sound. *brownie goes down!*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:06:19 PM)
*runs around insanely, making sure the barbwire has indeed been killed, before heading out front*
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:07:04 PM)
::Kaia, looking bemused, as she follows Andy, curiousity winning out. Kaia had on a pair of jeans and a fitted t-shirt, with an unzipped hoodie on::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:07:05 PM)
*indeed, there was a hand-painted minibus in the driveway, three surfboards and a luggage case on top, bead curtains in the windows*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:08:29 PM)
*blood draining from his face as he waves, affecting a casual lean against the porch railing*
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:09:53 PM)
*and out came a fellow who looked like andy, but older, with hair just starting to go grey, wearing a surf shirt and cargo shorts, and sunglasses, with a wavy blonde haired woman in yoga pants and a blue shirt that had a recycle symbol printed on the front. He waved, she went to hug Andy* HIBBY!
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:11:53 PM)
::Kaia desperately tried not to smirk at Andy's nerves, and then heard "Hibby"... and had to take a moment in the kitchen, snickering and trying to be as quiet as possible about it::
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:12:22 PM)
*doesn't quite cringe as he does hug his parents* Hey mom. Dad. How's traffic?
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:13:07 PM)
*his dad just shrugged and grinned* "There were cars, lots of cars. Like always. What have you been up to man?"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:13:51 PM)
*shrugs* Kicking ass, taking names, gettin' laid. Waves are soft here Pop.
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:14:04 PM)
::Kaia reemerged from the kitchen, a soft grin on her face::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:15:02 PM)
"Wellllll..." *pause and a grin* "So were you last time i checked?" *and he ducked the incoming swat, and his mom continued* "No girlfriend here for us to meet Hibby? or is that her now?"
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:15:08 PM)
*and the blonde lady waved at Kaia*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:16:34 PM)
Not my girlfriend mom. I'm not dating anyone right now.
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:17:08 PM)
*elbow for his dad* Pop, I do work out.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:18:05 PM)
*looked at Andy* "Hibby, grandkids." *and gave him THAT look*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:19:53 PM)
Mom, if I ever do knock someone up, you'll be the...5th or 6th to know.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:20:27 PM)
*she smiled* "Long as i'm on the call list still"
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:20:54 PM)
*and his dad went and was getting their bags and looked at the house* "Big place, Hibby. You starting a commune here?"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:21:05 PM)
You are mom, I promise. Something to drink?
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:21:06 PM)
Ahh, no. Not the girlfriend. Just a friend. Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols.. ::she waved to them both, smiling a charming smile::
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:21:53 PM)
Not really a commune, but...y'know. It's the extended family, y'know?
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:22:43 PM)
"Tea would be good. Unsweet, or long island. whichever. And I'm glad you found somewhere like that then Hibby!" *and to Kaia* "Oh please, I'm Hyacinth, and this is Starstorm" *pointing at Andy's dad, who waved* "Hiya" *and winked at Kaia (the dad)*
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:24:25 PM)
::Kaia... forever fighting down the giggles every single damn time they say 'Hibby'... and she smiles:: A pleasure to meet you both.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:25:25 PM)
"Pleasure is ours , I'm sure" *and his mom shook her hand, while his dad set their bags in the entry way and was looking around like "wow" and poked his head back out and looked at Andy* "Soft. You. You hear me son?"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:26:37 PM)
No booze in the house. *shuffling in and heading for the kitchen* Kitchen's this way, please do ~not~ throw any of the meat out. It'll make my life easier.
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:26:53 PM)
::she shook Hyacinth's hand, nodding to her dad, and she just had a tiny bemused smile on her lips, that seemed to be settling into permanence while his parents were here::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:27:04 PM)
*His mom raised an eyebrow at that and to him* "That's odd, and no Hibby, that would be wasteful. It's not our fridge"
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:27:19 PM)
"Anyhow. Although that better not be yours or I am going to have a looooong talk with you."
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:28:19 PM)
Pop, you know I've got 3 tattoos and a ton of working out to do.
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:28:28 PM)
Motherrrrrrrrr...
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:28:48 PM)
"Dont you give me that Hibiscus Andwarhol Volkswagon Nichols"
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:29:17 PM)
"You know exactly why I say that about the meat industry. not good for you. or anyone" *and stepped in the house anyways*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:29:52 PM)
*facepalm* Yes mom.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:30:29 PM)
*she smiled at him and to him* "So you wanna show us around or are we to wander on our own?"
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:31:35 PM)
::Kaia..... Kaia had to leave the room after Hyacinth used the -full name-, mirthful tears in her eyes as she excused herself briefly::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:32:23 PM)
*looked at kaia and nodded and to Andy* "She have allergy problems dear? You know I can help her with that if she does"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:32:58 PM)
Mom, I was quoting the stats to you. *smirks* Okay, first floor's pretty much common area. Kaia knows me as Andy, I forgot to tell her the whole schmear. But yes, she is having some allergy thing, I think Second floor is the living stuff, bedroomns and whatnot. Bathrooms, and the there's some acreage out back.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:35:15 PM)
"I"ll make her some tea then in a few when your dad figures out which bag it's all in." *and she followed andy, Starstorm in tow*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:36:43 PM)
And if you stop hassling me about grandkids, I'll turn the koi pond lights on and we can blaze. Yo POP! You drinking anything?
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:37:10 PM)
::Kaia, running the water in the kitchen sink, washing her face with cool water, trying to stop giggling::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:37:12 PM)
*to Hibby* "I'm not hassling, but alright, alright, I can take a hint." *and Starstorm* "Water, man, what else?"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:38:53 PM)
*kisses his mom on her forehead* Thank you mom. That section of my life is horribly complicated right now. *snagging a bottle of filtered water and lobbing it to his dad* Now out back...if you feel a need to work out, we have the nbecessary goods.
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:39:23 PM)
::Kaia wipes her face off and shakes her head, still smiling, amused. She grabbed a Coke from the fridge and began to follow them out::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:40:24 PM)
*starstorm caught it and to Andy* "good deal. especially if the waves here suck"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:41:29 PM)
Greenhouse on the left. Yes, we have herbs. We don't do a whole lot of weight training. Well, I don't. Tea house and koi pond, and back thataway is the guest house, where a couple other people stay.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:42:39 PM)
*Starshadow* "Wow, okay, i might say i'm impressed. if you dont let it go to your head"
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:42:45 PM)
::Kaia cracked her Coke, sipping it as she followed them out::
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:44:18 PM)
Trust me pop, I got a ton of people just ready and willing to shatter my ego. *jerking a thumb at Kaia* Like...everyone else in this place. They kinda take turns, to be honest.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:45:15 PM)
"And you dont do the same back? Hibiscuis, kid, I dont believe that for three seconds"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:45:59 PM)
Hey, you didn't ask about that. *smirks*
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:47:54 PM)
*and he flopped down in one of the chairs near the pond and so did his wife and he pulled out a pipe, of the glass kind, and some green, and offered it to Kaia first*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:49:02 PM)
*taps the lights to the koi pond going*
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:49:11 PM)
He needs to be grounded occasionally. ::said with a grin as she held up her hand, shaking her head:: No, thanks though. I'm cool.
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:49:44 PM)
I do not.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:49:55 PM)
*Hyacinth nodded* "As y'want dear, just offering." *and she took a hit before passing it to her husband, who offered to Andy*
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:51:12 PM)
*and a nice deep hit, handing back to his mom, as the rotation demands* So...you guys looking to get inked while you're here?
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:54:44 PM)
"Oh, hadn't thought about it actually." *said Starstorm* "Might have to"
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:55:34 PM)
*smirks* I work at a tattoo shop. *ditching his shirt* She does good work. *leaning to show off*
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:56:12 PM)
*both looked over and his dad* "I like the tat" *and his mom* "it is good ink. I know you didnt like that scar."
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:57:26 PM)
I do kinda take umbrage with shit that tries killin' me, mom.
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:57:42 PM)
And it totally wrecked my tan.
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:58:08 PM)
"I know Hibby. I"m saying the ink on it is nice"
Kaia Skaare (Feb 21, 2011 11:58:18 PM)
::Kaia leans back and she smiles, just soaking this in, still her amused smile is present::
Tristan Redgrave (Feb 21, 2011 11:58:19 PM)
"Definately worth showing off."
Andy Nichols (Feb 21, 2011 11:58:52 PM)
It is. Like I said, yeah. What was I saying? Oh yeah, Serenity can throw down whatever, y'know?
