Spark 03: Video:

Yo. So I've kinda got a question for people who've done this whole [waving a hand] "hero thing" before, or gotten involved in these sorta fights. What do you tell your family 'n all that about - this whole mess? Do ya tell them anything? 'Cause ma came to the big city for New Year's, an' we were talkin' about things... I just wasn't sure what to say.

I don't wanna go scarin' her, or get her involved in this mess. But I don't wanna lie.

Any thoughts?

[Locked to his team:]

And by the way, ma brought a hamper of stuff to share with friends. Shit, you'd think she was trying to make me explode: I've got enough here to keep me goin' for weeks. So... I wanna split this with you guys. You up for it?

My family has been like...[she waves a clawed hand near her eyes] this, ever since they started keeping records.

They've kept out of the way of things, really, until recently. Before the...incident, I was the first one to do anything like this. I joined a team, but I don't think they thought I was serious. My sister didn't, anyway.

[The next part is lightly locked; Flandre was still nervous about talking about this. Especially where her sister could see.]

She was afraid I'd get hurt, or...die, even.

[He nods, slowly, as she talks:]

Like, they've just all been pretendin' nothin's going on? That sorta thing?

[jolie_aile]

I think they've known for about...ever, they just haven't said too much about what I'm doing. They're supportive, but...yes.

But my parents have never said much about what's going on in the world, really. At least where it'd make a mess of things. It wouldn't have been good for their business.

Talking to my sister the first time was-[pause]-difficult. Telling her I was staying on a team, I mean. Things got better later, though.

[At a different time she'd apologize for being so vague.]

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah. I imagine it was. Glad to know it got better anyway.

[He nods, though.]

I kinda worry 'bout it reflecting on my ma's business, too, sometimes. Whether people are gonna stop buyin' things from her if they know about me, y'know?
