Back to our Roots

pianobelt06/22/2020

Btw whenever you’re both free to do so I wanna do piper family visit discovery trip

IneMiSol06/22/2020

OH YEA i was gonna bump this in the weekend but

[7:13 PM]

gestures to that mess

Naomy06/22/2020

I close today tomorrow and got a mid the next day so may as well get what i can out as I can ashsn

[7:17 PM]

Cheri is 7 months and probably about the time to take a maternity leave? So nows a good a time as ever to travel before she cant anymore

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yeah tbh

Naomy06/22/2020

But since all 3 are going I think we gotta determine if she and Adrien ever spoke since Adrien and Piper were clearing things up and overall getting close again

pianobelt06/22/2020

Yeah. So I assume piper gets his file from base to get any info out of it he can and possibly invites Adrien along

[7:20 PM]

No one will recognize him out in country for old minty men

[7:22 PM]

Oh yeah

IneMiSol06/22/2020

im assuming they might have talked by now if cheri comes down to base often but probably not very in-depth

[7:25 PM]

i think he'd be hella awkward about going along and feel like he's meddling where he shouldnt fxghdfjg

pianobelt06/22/2020

Pipers gonna insist bc “you saved my life dude.”

IneMiSol06/22/2020

gets a mildly disgruntled whine in response

[7:38 PM]

signs "im not family though"

pianobelt06/22/2020

“You’re a kind of family. Next to Cheri, you’re one of the closest things I’ve got.”

IneMiSol06/22/2020

looks at cheri like "are u absolutely 100% ok with me going along"

[7:40 PM]

bc he doesnt wanna step on toes

Naomy06/22/2020

She just nods and says a sweet "yes I'm sure" Since I'm sure all is good and well by then anyway

[7:41 PM]

As for visiting base Im sure she has occasionally but since she is pregante

[7:41 PM]

I doubt she did it often

pianobelt06/22/2020

Adrien: control ur annoying husband

Naomy06/22/2020

Easier to spot a pregnant woman

[7:41 PM]

Asndhsns

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yeah true

[7:42 PM]

more like "i feel like im butting into a happy marriage when i shouldnt"

[7:42 PM]

djkfgherkg

[7:43 PM]

hes prob gonna be awkward the whole time but ends up agreeing to go

[7:43 PM]

least he can get fresh air and sunlight

[7:46 PM]

me reeling at the thought of hcing adrien + 3 of pipers siblings at the same time:

Naomy06/22/2020

Its okayyyy its a hc for a reason

[7:54 PM]

Much more lax

IneMiSol06/22/2020

tru

pianobelt06/22/2020

Sorry I’m slow I need to go to the store

[7:56 PM]

So once piper gets his file, does some research and has everything planned its time for the train

[7:57 PM]

Probs gets Adrien some bandannas and stuff to hide with

Naomy06/22/2020

Just have him wear a face mask and claim he's feeling a cold coming along asvsns

[7:59 PM]

Face mask with a hat

IneMiSol06/22/2020

tbh

[7:59 PM]

medical mask + a  beanie hiding all his hair or something

[8:00 PM]

fakes coughing for effect

Naomy06/22/2020

Meanwhile cheri is wearing some loose summer dress

[8:00 PM]

And yes she wore flat shoes this tiiiime

IneMiSol06/22/2020

nice

[8:01 PM]

pls dont try to walk in heels 7 months pregnant cheri

[8:01 PM]

love urself

Naomy06/22/2020

,,,,

[8:04 PM]

She doesnt do thaaaaaaat,,

[8:04 PM]

I swearrrr

[8:04 PM]

IneMiSol06/22/2020

mmhmmm

pianobelt06/22/2020

Piper: don’t u lie

Naomy06/22/2020

Hey hey I can lie

[8:05 PM]

Cheri cant

[8:05 PM]

Cheri: Im not wearing heels while 7 months pregnant

[8:05 PM]

Cheri:....

[8:05 PM]

Cheri:... today

IneMiSol06/22/2020

adrien: ... how...

Naomy06/22/2020

Cheri: I sit most the day, its okay

pianobelt06/22/2020

Piper: ITS NOT

[8:10 PM]

Also sorry guys let piper sit in a seat away bc his leg bounces the entire train ride

IneMiSol06/22/2020

JFGHYRUGEL

[8:11 PM]

adriens prob sitting by the window lowkey curled into the chair

[8:12 PM]

face plastered to the window

[8:12 PM]

effective way to hide his face more!

Naomy06/22/2020

Cheri straight chillin kuz she's used to long train rides + she's probably enjoying a cup of fruit they got along the way to keep her craving at bay

[8:15 PM]

More excited than nervous

IneMiSol06/22/2020

cute

[8:16 PM]

yea the way to menthans is long as shit so they better bring snacks and entertainment

pianobelt06/22/2020

Pip and Lucie, nervous af, texting Adrien: are u dead yet

IneMiSol06/22/2020

JFHGEIRUGHEKRIUGHL

[8:38 PM]

lucie: keep us updated!!! we'll avenge u if they do anything!!!!!!!!!!! adrien: its jUST A TRAIN

pianobelt06/22/2020

Eofnoshdpwjenw

IneMiSol06/22/2020

they take turns blowing up his dms

pianobelt06/22/2020

So when they get to menthans, first thing is checking into a hotel or bnb

[8:39 PM]

Chill out for a bit then explore time

IneMiSol06/22/2020

dont expect anything fancy in mint town

[8:40 PM]

i fully expect all of menthans to look hella rural with wooden houses and whatnot

pianobelt06/22/2020

I just expect it to look like here

IneMiSol06/22/2020

idk what it looks like there!

pianobelt06/22/2020

Old colonial houses in better parts, trailers in the other. Empty outlets, lots of antique stores. Farms. Bridges. Old train tracks.

IneMiSol06/22/2020

... trailers....

[8:45 PM]

ok yea thats essentially it i think

pianobelt06/22/2020

Most middle class to lower live in trailers here. They’re cheaper, and can be moved onto pre-owner land like trailer parks

IneMiSol06/22/2020

trailers is like

[8:47 PM]

an exclusively vacation/camping thing here

pianobelt06/22/2020

Not those

IneMiSol06/22/2020

that sounds wild to me

pianobelt06/22/2020

Big trailers

IneMiSol06/22/2020

oh

pianobelt06/22/2020

They’re structured like a house inside

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yea i was gonna say

[8:48 PM]

if they're like my parents old one

[8:48 PM]

hm.

[8:48 PM]

kinda tiny!

pianobelt06/22/2020

And metal. S’why they’re cheaper

[8:51 PM]

Anyway if Cheri isn’t tired I’m assuming they’ll wanna explore around

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yee

[8:52 PM]

adrien prob asks them to take pics to show lucie later

[8:52 PM]

bc she pestered him like "YOU GET TO EXPLORE AND TRAVEL AND I DONT, NOT FAIR"

Naomy06/22/2020

You mean like mobile homes?

[8:53 PM]

And I'm pretty sure Cheri will be restless by the time they get there and will wanna stretch a bit

pianobelt06/22/2020

Yeah, I guess? But heyre still somewhat bigger than ones I’ve seen on tv

Naomy06/22/2020

Go for a walk

[8:53 PM]

Get local snacks

IneMiSol06/22/2020

adriens lowkey overwhelmed by the sheer amount of minty smell in the air at first

[8:55 PM]

but ends up adjusting

pianobelt06/22/2020

Cheri: what’s rest

[8:57 PM]

I’d say they search out a local restaurant to talk and eat

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yee

[8:58 PM]

adriens safe to take off the disguise there anyway

[8:58 PM]

idk why i said anyway but u get the point

Naomy06/22/2020

How far into methans does the family actually live?

pianobelt06/22/2020

I’m not entirely sure. I haven’t sussed out many details. I’d say they live on a smaller farm out by other ranches

IneMiSol06/22/2020

i dont think menthans is THAT big but finding a mint family there is prob like finding a needle in a hay stack

pianobelt06/22/2020

It’s probably not big population wise but farms need a lot of land

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yea

pianobelt06/22/2020

So expansively menthans probably covers a lot of ground

pianobelt06/22/2020

i am home

[9:23 PM]

but literally don't even have names for mom or dad peppermints yet uhhhh

IneMiSol06/22/2020

prob should find some!

pianobelt06/22/2020

i considered calling the mom marie ann but then i realized i'm lowkey referencing spiderman on accident

IneMiSol06/22/2020

oops

[9:36 PM]

ye they're already parkers ghkghj

pianobelt06/22/2020

and russel for the dad

IneMiSol06/22/2020

oo!

pianobelt06/22/2020

who's nickname is rusty

IneMiSol06/22/2020

rusty

pianobelt06/22/2020

yes

[9:38 PM]

welcome to old man country

[9:40 PM]

joanna might work

[9:40 PM]

ppl probs call her jo

IneMiSol06/22/2020

ooo yes

[9:40 PM]

supported

pianobelt06/22/2020

i'm just imagine they go into a hella country lil restaurant that's noisy bc its a local hotspot

Naomy06/22/2020

Oh i love the names yes bless

[9:48 PM]

Jo and Rusty

[9:48 PM]

Thats so cute asgsja

[9:48 PM]

Do they give everyone nicknames just because your government name is for when youre in trouble

pianobelt06/22/2020

yes, most likely

[9:50 PM]

also i'm sorry cheri and adrien bc piper is gonna a bit on edge constantly after getting to menthans

IneMiSol06/22/2020

understandably!

[9:56 PM]

adriens prob gonna be a lil off at the restaurant bc of all the noise but otherwise glad to be among normal ppl and a normal place again

pianobelt06/22/2020

ykno i'd say its not the easiest thing to find his family for like a few days

[11:04 PM]

bc 1. so many peppermints and 2. there's a good chance not a lot of ppl even remember markus

IneMiSol06/22/2020

yea thats what i was assuming

[11:09 PM]

its like finding a needle in a haystack

pianobelt06/22/2020

yeah

[11:09 PM]

meaning piper just gets more antsy as the days pass and smokes A LOT

June 23, 2020

Naomy06/23/2020

Cheri having to ask Adrien like hey can you like calm him down so she isnt near the smoke kuz baby

IneMiSol06/23/2020

he will try his best

pianobelt06/23/2020

he goes outside!!

IneMiSol06/23/2020

piper gets a hand on his shoulder and a "whats wrong" face

pianobelt06/23/2020

doesn't mean he doesn't stink but ykno!!

IneMiSol06/23/2020

also im gonna have to disappear bc clock in early tomorrow so  ill reply again in the morning

[12:43 AM]

yall feel free to continue

pianobelt06/23/2020

hand on his shoulder will make him jump

[12:44 AM]

before he stares for a sec and blows out smoke looking away like "...what if they're not even here."

IneMiSol06/23/2020

hand removed

[12:44 AM]

"hmm,,"

[12:45 AM]

gotta get his pda out to type rip

[12:45 AM]

"cant know until we run the whole place"

[12:45 AM]

"we can at least ask around for people with your old surname"

[12:46 AM]

"someones bound to know one of them"

pianobelt06/23/2020

"and if they're gone? I mean i have... nothing but a file I'm not supposed to have. a life i'm not supposed to have. and a memory i never had at all."

Naomy06/23/2020

Wow piper making me feel emo

IneMiSol06/23/2020

adrien makes a face

[9:05 AM]

trying to think what to reply

[9:05 AM]

"... then we'll at least have gotten some nice vacations?"

pianobelt06/23/2020

Sighs out more smoke

[9:09 AM]

“..I just want a conclusion.”

IneMiSol06/23/2020

adrien rubs his back like : (

June 24, 2020

Naomy06/24/2020

Piper ow

[12:40 AM]

Cheri just not knowing wtf they talking about and just waiting for them to return

[12:41 AM]

Sitting and fiddling with her phone probably

pianobelt06/24/2020

he'll get over it, its just fear

[12:42 AM]

probs smokes one more cigarette before going in or whatever

[12:43 AM]

eventually i'd say there's someone who does kno the parker fam or recognizes the story of their missing son or smth and directs them somewhere

IneMiSol06/24/2020

yeah

pianobelt06/24/2020

and eventually i think someone could direct them to rusty first

IneMiSol06/24/2020

thatd make sense

[12:56 AM]

since hes prob more known than the others in town

pianobelt06/24/2020

yeah

[12:57 AM]

what if they do flea markets in menthans

[12:57 AM]

so farmers sell their produce there

IneMiSol06/24/2020

oooo i can see that

pianobelt06/24/2020

ye

[12:59 AM]

so someone tells them what rusty looks like, and that he has a stall there

[12:59 AM]

so they can go and look around for him

[12:59 AM]

and i'm assuming adrien and cheri are out here like 'FLEAAAA MARKET'

IneMiSol06/24/2020

hdkdhdks

[1:01 AM]

adriens mostly looking in awe and curiously poking his head into most stalls to see what they have

pianobelt06/24/2020

oh wait i forgot adrien can't rly enjoy food

[1:01 AM]

welp

IneMiSol06/24/2020

yea oops

[1:08 AM]

so hes just

[1:08 AM]

curious and mildly : ( at everything he cant taste anymore

[1:08 AM]

can only smell

pianobelt06/24/2020

one day man

[1:08 AM]

u will get robo tongue

IneMiSol06/24/2020

 

[1:11 AM]

can that even make him taste shit again

[1:11 AM]

..... least itll make it easier to eat

[1:11 AM]

no need to eat mashed everything anymore

pianobelt06/24/2020

hey its fake science, anything is possible

IneMiSol06/24/2020

tru

Naomy06/24/2020

Half of taste is smell so he can probably still enjoy something with robo tongue

[1:28 AM]

And cheri is 100% going FLEA MARKEEEET

[1:28 AM]

And enjoying all the sights and taking pictures

pianobelt06/24/2020

me realizing how fucked it is to cut off an italian's tongue:

Naomy06/24/2020

rip in rip ashxns

IneMiSol06/24/2020

sdjhvsdfjvsdlf

pianobelt06/24/2020

anyways they would eventually find rusty's stall

[2:11 AM]

queue piper not moving forward to go talk to him

[2:15 AM]

...side note do u think they lose piper occassionally

[2:15 AM]

in the sea of red and white

IneMiSol06/24/2020

... probably

[2:15 AM]

even cheri might be occasionally lost

[2:15 AM]

meanwhile adrien sticks out like a sore thumb

pianobelt06/24/2020

adrien, suddenly:...im alone o no

IneMiSol06/24/2020

gdmwjdle

[2:16 AM]

adrien, unable to talk or locate either traveling companion:

pianobelt06/24/2020

piper just picking him up outta the crowd like "hello"

IneMiSol06/24/2020

adrien: aaAAAA

[2:18 AM]

u startled him

pianobelt06/24/2020

i'm just imagining piper lifting him like a cat

IneMiSol06/24/2020

grmeure

pianobelt06/24/2020

where u hold under their front arms

IneMiSol06/24/2020

and adrien makes the girliest cracked noise

pianobelt06/24/2020

aeoigjaeorgija

[2:18 AM]

piper:

Naomy06/24/2020

Cheri just very chill and enjoying the sights while the boys have their adventure of a lifetime

[6:31 AM]

Once they get to rusty's stall tho is all motivation from there

[6:31 AM]

"Come on dear" "you can do it" "just ask"

[6:31 AM]

Etc etc

[6:31 AM]

Tiny arm holds for comfort

pianobelt06/24/2020

Meanwhile Piper is a big frozen wall of fear

[7:02 AM]

"...what if he has no clue what I'm talking about.."

Naomy06/24/2020

"I'm sure he'll remember he has a missing son,"

[7:15 AM]

"And if he is your father... don't think it will take much to feel the connection."

pianobelt06/24/2020

"Really? Cause I'm looking at him right now and I don't even...recognize him."

Naomy06/24/2020

piper that

[7:17 AM]

thats what amnesia is

[7:17 AM]

asdfghj

pianobelt06/24/2020

wELL

[7:17 AM]

we've never said this man is smart

IneMiSol06/24/2020

god piper

[10:55 AM]

adrien pushes him gently-ish towards rusty

[10:56 AM]

if he stands there long enough someone will notice right

[10:56 AM]

hdkel

June 25, 2020

Naomy06/25/2020

Cheri thinking this mans forgot how to walk by now asbsma

[1:32 AM]

Silent tiny pushed of motivation

pianobelt06/25/2020

Bskdhosbfka he trying

[1:43 AM]

He will eventually try to walk forward

pianobelt06/25/2020

Sorry still finishing up with my car

IneMiSol06/25/2020

ur fine pats

Naomy06/25/2020

Its gucci im legit replying while at work

pianobelt06/25/2020

ANYWAY, Piper will eventually remember his legs can move and walk closer but not know what to say. Ends up pretending to look over what's at the stall until Rusty's like "can I help ya with anythin?" and Piper tenses but shakes his head. Rusty just goes back to working. Piper eventually clears his throat a bit before saying "uh...h...uhm. is...your name Russel Parker?" to which Rusty is like ?? "yeah" and looks over and Piper just "....are...you married to a... Joanna Parker?" and ofc Rusty is kinda getting on edge a bit like "yes??" and Piper can't make eye contact and his hands are shaking a bit.

IneMiSol06/25/2020

adrien steps forward to stand nearby and rub his back

[12:40 PM]

puts the other hand on his arm

[12:40 PM]

gives rusty a polite greeting nod

Naomy06/25/2020

Cheri is just there behind the two, doesnt want to but in since this is something Piper has to do

June 26, 2020

pianobelt06/26/2020

Fucking Christ I keep forgetting to come back to this chat

[8:27 AM]

So piper just sighs shakily and looks up a bit. “...is there anyway we could all speak... in private?” And rusty is just “what’s this about??” And piper takes a deep breath and says “I think I’m Markus Parker.... your son.” And rusty is just

IneMiSol06/26/2020

oh my g o d

[12:32 PM]

all i can imagine is him going "... you think?"

[12:33 PM]

adrien wants to explain the situation but he cant talk so hes stuck making a "mmmmyeeaaa sorry for the sudden bomb" face at rusty(edited)

Naomy06/26/2020

Cheri just waiting on a reaction thats more than just a face but I bet you can see her lightly squeeze her dress or holding her belly for comfort

IneMiSol06/26/2020

aw omg cheri

pianobelt06/26/2020

eogiaeoj yeah so Rusty like, has them come behind his stall to talk and he's just "Are you trying to pull some joke here? I dunno how some kids from the city know about that, but its not funny." and piper is sweating "No! Its not a joke, I Swear- I just- i-I-I have a file! I'm not saying I am I just-"

Naomy06/26/2020

You just hear Cheri quietly go shhhh... and rubbing Piper's arm

[10:43 PM]

"Slowly dear... breath."

[10:43 PM]

Looks at Rusty and just quietly goes "This isn't a joke. Please be gentle."

pianobelt06/26/2020

"Gentle? My wife's son went missing years ago. How m'I supposed to just believe that he's appeared after all this time with a convenient little file?" crosses his arms

Naomy06/26/2020

She just looks at Piper  "I think now's a good time to tell him what you can remember."

pianobelt06/26/2020

me: fuck what does he remember. why'd i make an amnesiac when i too have memory problems

Naomy06/26/2020

Just brush over it asvdkab

[10:49 PM]

'Says some details' lmao

[10:49 PM]

Im pretty sure it was like that he went to the military

[10:49 PM]

Adrien told him some info too he can use

pianobelt06/26/2020

i just don't actually remember if he knows anything past his time in ssf

Naomy06/26/2020

Bec, a goldfish, plays the perfect amnesiac

pianobelt06/26/2020

CRIES

Naomy06/26/2020

Assuming Cheri gives adrien a "help him" look

pianobelt06/26/2020

Piper probs does just "...sir i don't... I don't have much in the way of proof other than this. All I'm askin for is to talk... If I'm wrong, then I'll leave." and Rusty just sort of looks them all over and sighs. "...Help me load up my truck... and I'll take you over."

IneMiSol06/26/2020

goddammit if only adrien could talk

[10:56 PM]

hes probably staring into the sky like "why has god forsaken me"

pianobelt06/26/2020

wasn't god, was ur uncle

Naomy06/26/2020

Pat pats his shoulder its ok

IneMiSol06/26/2020

hes just thinking to himself about how useless he is here and wishing someone would just hand him a phone so he could type there and show

[10:58 PM]

rusty prob doesnt know sign either so thats pointless

pianobelt06/26/2020

adrien u have a pda

IneMiSol06/26/2020

he isnt just gonna flash a rebel pda around

pianobelt06/26/2020

they don't kno what it is

[10:59 PM]

it looks like a weird phone

IneMiSol06/26/2020

valid

pianobelt06/26/2020

so once they help him and pile into his truck, they get driven out to a smaller but still big farm house, with a field behind it

June 27, 2020

Naomy06/27/2020

Cheri is 100% enjoying the sights of this place

[12:20 AM]

even if its for a very serious thing, she just like OOH FARM!

IneMiSol06/27/2020

adriens observing too

[12:24 AM]

countryside reminds him of his scouts years.......

[12:26 AM]

keeps always close enough to piper to keep a hand at either his back or shoulder

pianobelt06/27/2020

meanwhile piper is stressed™

[12:38 AM]

rusty parks and lets them out then tells them to wait while he goes inside

June 30, 2020

pianobelt06/30/2020

I FORGOT ABT THIS

IneMiSol06/30/2020

hi

pianobelt06/30/2020

to speed things along, Rusty eventually brings Joanna outside and she's def like ???? at first and Piper is a ball of nerves who can't talk and all he can do is stutter for a bit and then frantically check himself for his folder

IneMiSol06/30/2020

adrien still has a hand on his back to attempt calming him down

[11:46 PM]

points at the folder so he can see

[11:46 PM]

meanwhile matthew is spying at the window like ?

pianobelt06/30/2020

Piper just grabs the folder and holds it out, hands shaking. "I-I think.... I think i'm your son-" he coughs out. Joanna just blinks and take the folder, glancing it over rather calmly before closing it and looking at them all then motions to the house with her head. "..Y'all want some tea?"

IneMiSol06/30/2020

adrien pulls out the nicest smile he can muster and nods

[3:04 AM]

"I'm very excited "

pianobelt07/01/2020

"Know what you're havin?"

Naomy07/01/2020

pianobelt07/01/2020

...

[3:05 AM]

uh

[3:05 AM]

idk

[3:05 AM]

i mean she's big so like

[3:05 AM]

i assume they could kno by now

[3:05 AM]

tho ppl usually decide whether they wanna kno or not

Naomy07/01/2020

18-20 weeks apparently so like now for her asvdms

[3:12 AM]

Im sure theyd wanna know to prepare for what they need

[3:12 AM]

Considering everything in the bgggg

pianobelt07/01/2020

yeah

[3:12 AM]

plus i think it'd kill cheri to not kno

Naomy07/01/2020

Oh definitely

[3:15 AM]

"A boy! He's already got a lot of energy, too."

[3:15 AM]

As in he kicks

[3:15 AM]

Probably kungfu fighting cheris ribs

pianobelt07/01/2020

"Ah, that's a good sign."

Naomy07/01/2020

She probs asks about what she's cooking kuz it smells good

[3:19 AM]

And idk what Pipers doing but if he's outside she probablt keeps glancing to check on him

pianobelt07/01/2020

i'm just assuming he's walking around outside with adrien and kids and stuff

[3:26 AM]

"Home recipe. Buttersquash chicken."

Naomy07/01/2020

That sounds yummy hold up

[3:28 AM]

Move over cheri ima have dinner with the peppermints tonight

pianobelt07/01/2020

LOL

July 2, 2020

pianobelt07/02/2020

i literally lost this chat oops

[9:01 PM]

need to cleanse my dms

[9:01 PM]

anyway, i think to speed things along, this is probs the first meeting and they're not 100% convinced about who piper is yet, especially rusty but they're willing to try

[9:01 PM]

they have dinner, joanna eventually sends the kids to bed, they have time to talk more again

[9:02 PM]

in which joanna says they can stay if they want or come back anytime, since they're in town, and stuff

Naomy07/02/2020

Cheri is gonna love to stay if its ok and she's gonna feel like this was a mini success as rocky as it is Probs has a convo with the boys about how they just have to give the family time to fully understand what happened and hey with the little proof they had it was good

IneMiSol07/02/2020

adrien agrees!!! lowkey antsy/nervous staying there but follows along with whatever cheri and piper decide

pianobelt07/02/2020

piper will accept staying, he'll probably stay on edge for a bit but

[10:15 PM]

least being around them might make something click mentally

IneMiSol07/02/2020

tru

[10:26 PM]

smells and sounds and sights

[10:27 PM]

do they leave menthans the next day

[10:27 PM]

since at this point they've prob been there at least some 2-3 days(edited)

pianobelt07/02/2020

probably or the day after, i'm assuming this happened like

[10:28 PM]

they got there at maybe the start of last week or smth

IneMiSol07/02/2020

yeaaaa

July 5, 2020

pianobelt07/05/2020

also i'm assuming they're back in tanim now, it'll just take more trips to rly get opened up with the family

IneMiSol07/05/2020

[11:30 PM]

adrien gotta get to the apartments

Naomy07/05/2020
