They say an end can be a start
Who: Klaus Hargreeves & you
What: Telekinesis hijinks
When: The last two weeks of January
Where: Library, Windjammer, and the pool (and wherever you want tbh)
Warnings: Definite references to drug/alcohol abuse, withdrawal stuff, depression, Klaus' entire life possibly.
Notes: Are you friends with Klaus? Please assume you got a text about their sobriety. Ilu. Thank you.
1. Library
It’s been…a time recently. Klaus has been doing his best to avoid any establishments with drinking. It’s kind of deprived him of Disney movies and…well…any movies, but it’s fine. He’s gotten used to the idea that things are sort of out of reach. Sure, there’s been a lot of weird stuff happening that he can’t explain recently, but that’s gotta be like…ship stuff. Like a whole piano came to life and tried to eat people. Why wouldn’t a bunch of papers start flailing around in a weird pattern? Sure, he was feeling a little frazzled, a little frustrated after having dropped something because his hands were shaking too bad for him to hold it, but…maybe the papers were just mad?
What do they know?
Speaking of not being able to hold something that well, they are staring very hard at their cup of hot chocolate, which is still very hot. They don’t want to get burned, but their hands are definitely still sort of shaky.
When they pick it up, they at least manage a couple sips without burning their mouth or dropping it. But as they go to set it back down, it falls, nearly ending on the floor except that suddenly it’s back on the table???
Klaus stands up and squints at it in confusion before looking around. “The ship is getting so weird these days.
2. Pool
Watson said to consider exercise and the pool and so Klaus is here to try to take advantage of it. He’s got Under the Sea stuck in his head at the moment, which is forcing him into a better mood.
This good mood sort of turns into a state of pure bewilderment as the pool floaties they’ve brought out start to dance just above the water to the tune, going in a circle, as they hum a little while getting ready to get in. Of course, they drop almost instantly as he seems to notice them. Confused, they hum the song again, but nothing happens. “What the hell?” Okay. Just weird ship things. Guess this is the vibe this month? Weird stuff?
3. Windjammer
Forcing themselves to eat is one of those things that’s just kind of happening. Klaus doesn’t really want to question his craving for baby carrots. It’s just one of those things. They need something that feels simple and probably won’t upset their stomach, right? Sure. That seems fair and accurate.
They are absolutely focused on grabbing more carrots and eyeing the garlic bread from afar, so if anyone comes up behind them, they are getting pelted with baby carrots, or the peas or…whatever else is at the veggies part of the buffet. Not that it seems like Klaus has thrown them. Mostly they seem to have thrown themselves from the buffet at whoever is behind him.
If they’re confused, so is Klaus. What is going on with the ship this month?
4. Promenade
Klaus is supposed to be avoiding these places and...really...he is. He's avoiding them. Mostly. It doesn't stop them from just sitting here and staring at Hurikane very intently from a bench in the middle of the promenade. Their hands are clenched around the seat of the bench, white knuckles obvious if you look. They are very purposely not going over, so that's...that's not nothing??? Probably. He's very obviously not paying attention to anything else around him.
It's only when he goes to stand up, very nearly deciding to go to Hurikane (but not wanting to) that a chair close by comes clattering in front of him and he looks at it in confusion for a moment. "What is with this place? Seriously." But on a more serious note, it might be time to phone a friend.

Nobunaga gently kisses Klaus' temple a little concerned by the tone, but recognizing the frustration and similarity to Crichton's frustration with Nobunaga in explaining that Arthur is blind.
"Erin wears a blindfold, but she also does magic. Skulduggery doesn't even have eyes but he can see. Right?" At this point... Nobunaga has no idea. "I've never heard of Braille. That's the bumps on paper? Okay. How did you know?"
no subject
“Yeah. I think that’s different, though. Magic’s different. And I…well, I can’t explain that or Skulduggery, but I know Erin is blind.” A beat. “And there’s a braille club sort of thing. I mostly sort of just existed at the first meeting because Erin was part of it.”
no subject
Just as intended.
no subject
“Why do you hate me?”
no subject
"Because I'm jealous of how pretty you are! Especially when I torture you. Mwahahaha."
Nobunaga is, in fact, oblivious that anyone other than Klaus and Skulduggery could be mad at him about the trial, oops.
no subject

He's not kind, but he secretly might be trying to learn. For Klaus' sake.

Nobunaga begins the story sonorous, overly dramatic, and his tone clearly meant to be a salve to heal Klaus' soul. Which is Hella surreal for the words.
no subject
They listen quietly as the book is being read to him. It seemed like a very entertaining story anyway.
no subject
It is a story about younger teens for an audience even younger than that who think teenagers are the cool kids. Nobunaga gets to about the third chapter by the time he realizes EXACTLY what Klaus meant about him being overwhelmed and embarrassed by this. He would probably have an easier time reading smut out loud. Is it wholesome? Pure??? He can't say. What did Skulduggery say about Nobuanga and romance? That Nobunaga cringes at it? Yeah. It's cringe-inducing. He tries VALIANTLY. And glances off to the side. "I think Skulduggery is trying to say that we can enjoy the cruise without alcohol, but all I can think is, 'Wow I'm so glad I never had kids now.'"

"Weren't you a good Uncle? You can't be that mistrusted. I guess you could volunteer to babysit later, if both Ava and others all have dates at the same time or something."
no subject
Klaus squints. “I mean, I was okay? Also he was a teenager. They’re sort of fine on their own a bit. Look at all the teens here! They can all murder a man easy!”
no subject
"It is difficult to imagine the babysitters capable of murder, that's true. Is this what peace and prosperity look like to Americans?" Surreal as fuck.

"I would take you on a Disney cruise. Hell, let's just make this a Disney cruise. What do we need for it?"
no subject
Klaus smiles a little. “I don’t know that we really could turn this into a Disney cruise, but I’m okay. I’d kill just to be on land for a while. Actual Disney would be more interesting to me.”
no subject
A head tilt. "What's on land that isn't on the ship? We should go to Capyba Land. Or Candyland. Have you ever played that game?"

But for now…Skeeball!! Klaus is not amazing at this, but he’s doing his best.
