[ it’s alright boo, it’s not like eren likes to mention anything about the payphone. after a minute, elliot’s hand finding his, it takes him a few seconds to look up and return the hold. they could talk later, but at least the message wasn’t lost.

expression still a little tight though, taking time to relax, eren rolls his shoulders at the two, holding his free hand up. ]

It’s a getaway from real life, but— Saying shit makes things awesome is taking it too far, Zack. Incarnation pulled it off years ago.

[ the movie that has to do with blue alien people on pandora. eren fucking. loves that movie . . . ]

. . . But I don’t doubt that. Natalia would win hands down.

[ HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. ]

[fiddlestick]

[He feels relief when Eren takes the hold and looks at him. Okay, they can talk later but the message was received at least, now they can get back to trying to relax]

Is that the one with the blue aliens you like?

[Of Eren's movie collection, he mostly remember not minding that one so much. Or at least, he's take it over any of the Michael Bay movies.

And oh, looks like his cousins are gonna brawl. Elliot calls out in support with a grin]

Take 'im down, Natty!

[nachetanya]

[ She's - honestly, she's uncomfortable with the idea of that violence. She's uncomfortable with the idea of the fact that she has killed people - animals? Both - in some other life, and so she does actually go rigid for about half a second when Zack says that. But she relaxes just as easily, smirking a little when the others pick up in the moment, and she hops to her feet with a smirk.

She doesn't have her sword - of course she doesn't - and she doesn't have the context of what'll happen at the university in a week or two so-

She picks up an empty cup, as if it were some sort of really short sword. ]

The vote of confidence is appreciated!

[ Time to go in for a fencing style thrust forward ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[Movie opinions and monster semantics aside, Zack grins wolfishly at his younger cousin and prepares for the mock fight. He's opting for hand-to-hand as he doesn't exactly have a broadsword or beach parasol on him and he's acting the part of monster right now.]

Really, no love for the monster? Damn!

[Not that he's actually annoyed by that or anything. He's still grinning and as Natalia lunges forward he dodges to the right and attempts to pretend to swipe at her abdomen with a punch and then he'll try to grab at her to pick her up. Sorry if that coffee table gets kicked around a bit...!]

[usurpers]

[ eren nods to elliot— come on, the bay movies are good things too, their special effects are better than these moves with the guys in capes. but looking between zack and natalia, then back to elliot . . . his shoulders relax a little, and out comes a teensy smile. ]

You should’ve thought about that before you chose monster.

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot meanwhile gives a little giggle at the actions of his cousins. ]

Maybe if you agree to eat vegan she'll show mercy!

[nachetanya]

[ With her new muscles, she's actually incredibly light on her feet. Natalia ends up dodging before she realizes what just happened. Oh wow...

She whistles in some surprise, pulling back her hand...

But that does leave her open ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[This is more like it. A mock battle to the death against his cousin in the arena of Eren's living room. Much better than arguing the nuances around monster movies. Haven't they all been through enough of that crap in real life (or past life) already?

With Natalia haven't dodged his punch Zack quickly swoops in and grabs her around the waist to haul her up into the air. She's light as a feather but with Zack's heightened strength it's even easier.

He moves dramatically which has him shoving the coffee table with his knee even more and it knocks over the bowl of whatever-healthy-thing Natalia brought. Chips go flying!]

Die kale chips! You have no power here!!

[usurpers]

[ ohhh no, you know where that’s all going? straight for his limited edition optimus right next to the tv’s speaker. that’s when eren has to zoom with his reflexes to try and play catch. sorry elliot, but his people need him— his people including his mechas, his floor and natalia’s chips, pushing off from his seat on the ground to sliding across the actual floor with an outstretched arm. you can practically hear him going nnnnnnnnoooo, complete with slow motion action.

he catches the bowl, protects optimus, but not all chips are saved, including his own pringles can that flew through the air behind him.

you’ve gone to far zack!!!!! ]

Zack!!

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot meanwhile stays on the couch, watching with wide eyes at the horror unfolding between the kale chips and the optimus prime]

-- Uh oh.

[Bye Zack]

[nachetanya]

No fair, Zack!!

[ RUDE...

She pouts as she's picked up, kicking a little uselessly. ]

[activatingcombatmode]

Rrrraahh--!!

[Zack doesn't have enough room to manoeuvre with Eren going flying for his action figure thing and Natalia still in his arms so he spins around and nearly clocks Eren clear in the face with Natalia's foot.

Crunch!! He steps on some chips. But at least it's not that toy Eren so valiantly saved??]

[usurpers]

[ it’s not a toy???? IT’S A COLLECTABLE. a seven thousand dollar collectable!!!!!

it’s not natalia’s fault that her foot skims his face by an inch, to which he flinches back and hits his head near the speakers, putting prime in another wave of clattering danger god you stay right there, prime. eren scurries to make the clatter stop, hands on it like a delicate flower until it’s fully protected.

zack is a menace that must be stopped. is eren playing around too? is eren being serious? knowing eren and the face he pulls, yes. he’s being serious. he holds his phone up. he knew this day would come.

remember that picture he took of you in december zack

remember ]

Put her down.

[fiddlestick]

[Seven thousand....that is way too much Eren. Way too much.

But honestly Elliot at this point is just watching what goes down. He's got a bowl of popcorn with him, so he's an actual popcorn.gif right now]

[nachetanya]

Oh. he sounds serious.

[ . . . She stops play-acting then. Zack'll set her down, probably. Right. ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[THANKS FOR THE HELP, ELLIOT. NOT...................??

Zack stands there with Natalia still hoisted up in his arms and then glares at Eren. Don't you dare, buddy...]

Alright, alright... Take it easy.

[Zack puts his cousin down on her feet.]

[usurpers]

[ bingo. bingo like, really good bingo. he’s not about to lower his weapon, though. he still has to keep up the intimidation game. pointing to optimus: ]

You’d have to sell your room to pay for that.

[ and carefully, he lowers the phone. HE JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE BUCKO, AND COMPLETE WITH MOM MODE: ]

Away from the TV next time.

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot is not sure what the phone thing is about, but okay it seems effective. More importantly though, the duty of a younger brother/cousin calls]

Eheh, judging by his phone? I'm not sure you'd get $20 out of selling the stuff in his room....

[LOVE YOU ALWAYS ZACK]

[nachetanya]

Yes mom.

[ . . . Yeah. ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[EREN YOU'RE SUCH A FUN RUINER SOMETIMES

WOW ELLIOT HE HAS MORE VALUE THAN THAT]

Why the hell do you have so many expensive toys, anyway...?

[usurpers]

[ zack

]

Toys— these aren’t toys! Elliot! [ he gives his boyfriend an unbelieving look. HE CAN’t beLIEVE YOUR COUSIN. LOOK AT THIS COLLECTION. he even gestures wildly to it!! ] These are replica figurines! Collectables! You can’t even find these to buy anymore!

[ because giant robots are

cool ]

[fiddlestick]

[Oh no...Zack got him started. Elliot hates when he's dragged into this. He thinks they're toys too, but they're harmless and bring Eren happiness so- what's the harm?

This. This is clearly the harm.]

They're...collectible toys? Really nice ones though!

[NAILED IT.]

J-Just be more careful around people's stuff, Zack.

[nachetanya]

[ . . . W e w.

For Nat's part, now on the ground she'll actually make her way back over to Elliot, putting a hand on his shoulder to reassure him but also decided not helping in the way she's not even trying to hold back her giggles. ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[Natalia look at your boys... Idiots.

And Eren, the Fairweather kids were raised pretty modestly, of course, they think they're just toys!! Don't pop a blood vessel over them?!]

I don't know what the damn difference is? Toys, Collectables, look pretty much the same to me.

[usurpers]

[ he can’t believe he’s being roasted, betrayed, eyes falling when elliot says toy too. no. no . . . they’re not toys . . . ]

You don’t see me playing around with them. That’s what toys are for.

[ he just stares at their poses every one in a while, cleans them off with care, polish their swords and shit . . . ]
