[Hello and welcome to Father's Day.

Those of you with dead dads will find yourselves stuck with lovely gold stars. The rest of you with living ones are shafted with the almost as nice but really, not at all, silver variety.

Of course, if you are someone's dead dad, you can settle for a pony. Aren't stickers fun?]

[Unhappily poking at his gold star]

...This can't be good.

[thekingsgambit]

[Also has a very SHINY gold star. Oh, and we are hanging somewheres so he is examining Suzaku's star himself.]

It is more difficult to determine what they are calling us out on this time.

[whenknightfalls]

[Glancing at Lelouch's in return]

Hmm. Well, obviously it's something we have in common. Do they give out gold stars for rebellions?

[thekingsgambit]

I just came from the mess hall, where several others were wearing their own. I doubt this place holds that many rebels. There are apparently silver ones as well.

[whenknightfalls]

[Thinking face on]

So it's something more general than that...I'm sure not anything pleasant, either. And there's only two choices?

[thekingsgambit]

[You are so cute when you try to think.]

It is rarely anything pleasant.

[Also considering.]

It had a more original way of determining one's violent tendencies so that eliminates the possibility. And since you have one, it cannot be poking fun at our fates back home either. Though it seemed that several had some suspicion as to the meaning, given their bothered reactions.

[whenknightfalls]

[orz]

If it's not our fates, maybe it's someone else's?

[thekingsgambit]

[Gives level stare and then breathes out slowly.]

... Ah. One of those.

[whenknightfalls]

[Just now catching up to the import of what he said; maybe looks a little angry again]

Right. One of them.

[thekingsgambit]

Hmm.

[Giving a sharp yank on Suzaku's star before reaching up to move a strand or two of hair from the knight's face.]

I believe it has something to do with a day the Americans here use for recognition. A reminder in poor taste, as always.

[whenknightfalls]

[Sighs and catches his hand, worrying his thumb over Lelouch's knuckles]

I don't need a reminder for that anymore. In poor taste and useless.

[thekingsgambit]

[It's cool. I has your star!]

Precisely. Useless.

[Kisses the edge of his eye.]

Ignore it.

[whenknightfalls]

[Nuzzles close against his neck, allowing himself to need the touch for a moment]

You're right. I don't know how camp doesn't bother you...

[thekingsgambit]

[Shakes his head.]

You are wrong. This place bothers immensely, just being here is enough to unsettle me to no end.

[thekingsgambit]

[Places a finger under his chin to lift his head.]

I have just found ways of focusing on more important things. I see it as a small kind of vengeance until we can figure out a larger means.

[whenknightfalls]

[Smiles briefly and leans in to kiss him softly]

Of course, I'd expect no less. But I am glad you're here.
