WHO: Mrs. Brisby (
courageofheart), Katsuki Brisby (
eruptive), Kamui Brisby (
foeyay), and Anya Vasilieva (
constellates)
WHERE: The subway tunnels
WHEN: Around the middle of the month (15th or so?)
WHAT: With her son missing, Mrs. Brisby is thrown into a tizzy - despite her fears, she's going down into the subway tunnels to try and find her son. Katsuki is escorting his mother, and Anya happened to find Kamui first.
WARNINGS: None yet applicable
After worrying sick publicly about her wayward son, Elizabeth Brisby has decided to take a search into her own hands. Her second oldest, Katsuki, wouldn't let her go by herself - but short of being physically restrained, the worried mother can't abide by sitting and waiting.
Even if, the moment she steps into the abandoned subway, she has chills running up her spine. Even if she has to take a moment to catch her breath. Think of Kamui, she repeats to herself, before turning on the flashlight and wandering in...

Still Looking
Your brother... I know this is the sort of place he'd be interested in exploring, but I don't think this is safe.
[It gives her a second to stop and take a deep breath, before belting out as loudly as she can:]
KAMUI CHRISTOPHER BRISBY!
[She doesn't realize that the racket causes the malicious rats to start stirring, a plethora of glowing red eyes glaring from the darkness.]
Reunion
If he isn't even down here, I... I swear I'll throttle him...
[She's not really watching to see anyone coming further down the tunnel towards them, even with her flashlight pointed ahead.]
no subject
--And he even said there were babies down here. [An amused scoff follows.] If that had been true, maybe you'd be the one protecting my useless ass instead of the other way around. Oh, well. I'm used to it. I'll just...
[Still in mid-sentence, Kamui suddenly stops. He shoves Anya to the side so that he can stand in front of her, his blade at the ready. Then he listens.
Those are definitely footsteps he hears, and there's more than one source. Two, three? Kamui can't tell exactly, but he knows they're approaching from around the corner. There's nowhere to run.]
If this is another fucking rat colony, I swear I'm going to sew a rat fur coat out of spite.
no subject
the second is that he also cares about the well-being of sack of shit brother who had an insatiable need to create stress for their mother. )
Holding you to that.
( katsuki tells his mother simply. )
Oiiiiiiii! Kamui, ya fuckin' trash!
( then he's cupping a hand to the sound of his mouth as he screams, hoping to catch the attention of literally anything at this point. )
no subject
Even being shoved off to the side, barely saved by her own sense of balance before she goes tumbling over.
But then there's that ambling echo of Katsuki's voice and she perks up.]
Katsuki...! Вот! Kamui is here, Anya is here...!
[And she'll rush forward toward the sound of his voice because there's probably hopefully nothing dangerous between them? Her agenda may or may not to be throw herself at Katsuki so he doesn't have a chance to punch Kamui on sight, thanks.]
no subject
Kamui? Anya??
[She's a little worried that she's mishearing, a little wary about running into rats - she sweeps her flashlight along the ground before running ahead, stopping when she sees the other two.]
Kamui! Katsuki, they're here!
no subject
She really is down here in this maze of tunnels looking for him like a complete idiot.
He doesn't know how he feels about that. On the one hand, his mom is the same as always, and he'll never stop admiring her for unconditional love. On the other... Dammit, woman, he is not worth this shit.]
Why're you here?!
[Like it isn't painfully obvious.]
no subject
who the fuck does he think he is? and why the fuck does he have anya with him? )
Because she loves you—!
( he spits, absolutely accusatory as if kamui was somehow undeserving of a mother's love. he's getting close, so close, close enough to break every bone in that bastard's face and then suddenly someone else, someone considerably smaller, is colliding right into him. out of reflex, katsuki's arms fly out to wrap around anya's shoulders to keep either of them from toppling over. )
A-anya?!
no subject
Katsuki!
[VICTORY.
But look - she's not about to let this mother-son reunion get interrupted by... another loud and boisterous son. She'll wrap her arms around Katsuki's neck once she's been caught, looking entirely proud of herself for this ingenious plan?]
Безопасно. You are safe! We are safe. That is very good news. [and glancing over to greet politely with a smile:] Hello Mrs. Brisby.
no subject
[Anya's presence surprises her, but it's all just too much. She marches up to Kamui, jabbing him right in the chest with a finger - about as physically aggressive as she can bring herself to be.]
Kamui Christopher Brisby!
How could you disappear for three days like that?? Without taking your phone or telling me a single thing!! What would I have done if you were hurt? I would've never known! What kind of mother do you think I am, do you think I'd just ignore you disappearing without any explanation??
no subject
While Anya may have managed to quell one obstacle, however, the Brisby family matriarch is another matter altogether. A petite finger jabs into his chest, and any speck of defiance that may have remained there instantly withers. Kamui's shoulders slump, and he sighs, docile throughout her lecture.]
People who think don't usually run off to play in the dark in the first place. [He reaches up to gently pat her head, bringing her closer to his chest. Look for yourself, Mrs. Brisby. Your son isn't hurt; his heart's beating just fine.] Sorry for making you worry again.
no subject
which, for now, is good enough. )
Hit him!!
( he yells, encouraging her and completely forgetting to set anya down. )
no subject
Katsuki... Вид... Be nice? Kamui kept me safe too.
[after he like. threatened her. and then continued to insult her. but iN THE END SHE'S SAFE BECAUSE OF HIM PROBABLY.]
no subject
Let me guess, you haven't eaten anything while you were down here, either! You're supposed to be smart like your father, not an idiot like I am.
[She digs around in her bag, though, and she no joke brought a jar of peanut butter and some bread down here.]
You're eating and coming straight home. You haven't changed your clothes in days! You have to take better care of yourself...
[She's relieved and smiling even if she's overwhelmed and that's making her cry....]
no subject
Until his eyes meet Katsuki's, and he smirks. "That's what you get for asking someone else to hit me instead of doing it yourself," says that smug, little quirk of his lips. It lasts only an instant, only for Katsuki's eyes. Then Kamui shifts his focus back to Mrs. Brisby and her bag of wonders, all gentle smiles once more.]
Kat's the one who inherited the brains, you know that. I'm all stomach.
Still... [He picks up the jar of peanut butter, pretending to read the label as he laughs to himself at how much she really does think of him, even now. To many, it should be obvious that a mother would do anything for her son. Kamui knows better. He'd done everything he could to make her give up on him, and he'd done it all on purpose. Now that he's managed to do it on accident, it's especially poignant.] I can't eat while you're crying. Not when it's my fault.
no subject
( simply. then looking down at anya. )
You okay?
( he's going to fucking kill kamui and the look that he shoots back to him promises exactly that. there's a raw anger behind his expression as they stare each other down for exactly two seconds.
then kamui is focused on their mother again and katsuki is left to consider the best tactic to achieve maximum punishment. cut his stupid braid? shear his underwear? break his phone?
he'll figure it out.
he's about to say something rude but then his mom is pulling out some fucking peanut butter and katsuki thinks he might choke on his own breath. he makes a quiet strangled noise as he glances over the sandwich ingredients again in disbelief. was this what she packed? )
Mom! Feed that fatass when we get back home!
no subject
She glances over to Kamui and Mrs. Brisby and decides that her plan was entirely worth it if they manage to have this heart to heart. It's sweet to see and it's why her smile is earnest when she looks back up at Katsuki, apparently lacking any single attention of letting herself be put down because that might mean that Katsuki would run toward Kamui again?]
Да. Very okay.
[Reaches up to brush his bangs aside - not for any sort of sentimental reason but if she touches his face then he has to look back down at her again, which means he can't glare at Kamui. Sometimes Anya is too devilish for her own good.]
Katsuki is okay? Not hurt? Mrs. Brisby also?
no subject
[She can relax and wipe her face at least.]
I'm glad you're safe too, dear, I didn't realize you were going to start looking once I said he was missing. Kamui, you don't need me to give you another lecture about how many people would worry if you disappeared, do you?
[Well that's just dancing around giving it again anyway--]
