Parent Trap, Ch. 9

NicoMaki, NozoEli, Love Live, 2.6K 9/?

Summary: Maki is on a mission; Nico is on the job.

Car Culture

Dia was crying. Maki groaned. Why wasn’t Raye...oh, no Raye. With a curse, Maki kicked off her blanket, catapulted out of bed, grabbing a robe to throw on, feet awkwardly groping for slippers. A message blinking on her muted phone. Nico. At 5 a.m.

N: Hope you and Dia have a good day. Nico’s going to be so busy ε= ٩(●❛ö��)۶

N: But Maki will be so impressed when Nico’s video’s done.

No kiss emoji, no hearts, no...Nico-ness...a wail from Dia. Maki had no time to mope. Or make up. She had a growing, growling, grumpy daughter demanding all her attention.

###

“Maki, calm down.” Rin leaned back against the arm of her couch, sending her calmest mood at Maki.

“It’s been two and a half days, Rin. Dia doesn’t want to eat anything, keeps asking for Nico, who’s too busy to answer her damn phone, and I CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE LILO AND STITCH.”

Rin could see Maki pacing, kicking the rug that was at the center of the cabin’s main room. Dia was probably napping, like Tora. Maki needed to nap more. “Calm down, Maki. I’ll drive up there. Why are you in Wisconsin anyway? Where’s Raye?”

“Can you watch Dia?” Maki had no volume control. Rin grimaced, rubbing her ear.

“Is that Maki?” Hanayo stuck her head in, “Can you ask her what Nico’s new…”

Rin made a slashing gesture to head off Hanayo’s question. Hanayo pouted. Rin walked to the door, gently pushed Hanayo one step away, and closed the door.

“Maki, are you all right to drive?”

“Of course, I’m all right to drive.”

“But you sound so angry.”

“You’ve known me for more than a decade, Rin. When has anger interfered with anything?”

Rin could check off a huge list of times. But that would not calm Maki down. “So you’re going to see Nico?”

“Yeah, there’s this huge party we got invited to. ” Maki was now moderating her volume.

But Maki’s declaration had kicked Rin into red zone worried mode. “You’re going to a huge party. Because of Nico. Do you know anyone else who’ll be there?”

“Honoka will be there.”

Rin blinked. Maki and Honoka parties were a legendary recipe for disaster. Honoka’s impulsiveness brought out Maki’s idgaf core principle. Mix in alcohol and...

“I just want to talk to someone taller than my knee, Rin.” Maki sounded desperate.

“We’re talking. I’m taller than your knee.” Rin fell back on the couch. This was bad.

Maki’s voice softened. “Please, just watch Dia for me for a couple of days. She really misses Tora.”

“So you’re meeting Nico there?” That wouldn’t be so bad.

“Probably, sure, I don’t know the exact details yet.”

“I’m worried about you, Maki, you sound really upset. And you and Honoka and parties...”

Maki didn’t let Rin go drag out her history. “Rin, just please…”

“What?”

“Take care of my daughter.” Maki was tapping on something, probably unconsciously, Rin could hear the vibrations. “Nico’s upset because my parents sent me to Wisconsin, Nico likes parties, I REALLY miss Nico and…” Maki sounded nervous, Rin knew how reluctant her friend was to discuss anything related to dating and sex, “that disconnect is starting to happen.”

“So meet Nico somewhere and…”

“Rin, I am driving to Chicago, I am changing into a sexy dress, I am going to a party, I am going to down a couple of shots of something, and I am going home with my girlfriend.”

Rin sighed, “We’ll talk when you get here. Just please drive carefully. For me. And Dia.”

“Of course, I will.” Maki exhaled, “Thanks, Rin.”

“I’m your bestie, Maki.”

Maki laughed, “See you soon.”

Rin hoped five hours driving would wear Maki out enough to be reasoned with.

###

Nico couldn’t slump yet. Fourteen hours on the set, the crew were getting ready for the big stunt, Cocoro was confirming the details of something with the director, and Umi was handing Nico a bottle of electrolyte solution, a bright enough green to wake Nico up.

“Start with that.” Umi frowned, “You don’t want to get sick.”

“Thanks, Umi.”

“When does your tour start?”

“Too soon,” Nico swallowed a cough.

“It is essential to allow yourself a chance to recover physically from the kind of exertion you are experiencing.”

“You’re not my doctor.”

“I’m sure Maki would say the same.”

“She’s not my doctor either. She doesn’t know anything about this kind of day.” Nico chugged the entire bottle.

Umi seemed genuinely puzzled. “If you don’t talk about your work, what do you talk about?”

“Nico doesn’t remember, it’s just kind of a tired sexy blur. Maki’s surprisingly....”

Umi didn’t have to frown. Her entire posture screamed displeasure at Nico’s cavalier comment.

“Sorry. Nico just misses Maki.” Nico tossed the bottle into the recycling barrel, “We’ve been talking about our pasts. Talking about the present gets us to Dia and…”

Nico’s phone pinged. Maki’s ringtone. “Hang on a sec.” Nico switched to full charm mode, Umi didn’t know where she found the energy. “Hey, sexy.”

“Nico, you have to come here, now.” A shrill, panicky voice.

“Who is this? Where’s Maki?”

“In the shower.”

“Who is this?”

Umi was surprised by the anger in Nico’s voice.

“It’s Rin, you know, Maki’s bestie.”

Nico could feel her forehead clench. “Is Maki okay? Is something wrong with Dia? Why are you on her phone.”

“Cause I don’t have your number on mine, duh. You have to come here. Now.”

NIco sagged, leaning against a wall, “Okay, Rin, where do you want Nico to go? Wisconsin?”

“Nah, Maki’s at me and Kayo-chin’s house.”

That was news to Nico. When and why had that happened? Nico sighed. She needed more than electrolytes and sugar to deal with this.

Rin continued. “Maki wants to go to this big party, to meet you, but it’s a Honoka party and whenever Maki goes to a Honoka party in this mood, there’s tequila and…”

“How can Maki meet Nico if Nico isn’t going to the party? Nico is working.” Nico flung out a hand as if to show Rin everything and everyone on the set.

“Oh, she won’t like that.” Rin sounded sad.

“Hang on a sec.” Nico put her hand over the mic, “Was Honoka Maki’s college roommate?”

Umi nodded, “Briefly, why?”

“Just learning some more Maki facts…”

Rin’s loud chirp called Nico’s attention back to her phone. “So you’ll take Maki to the party. I’ll tell Maki I ordered her a ride. It’ll be a good surprise.”

Nico wanted to punch the wall. “Nico can’t pick up Maki. Nico has to finish filming a dance, crash a car, rescue a dangerous damsel, and save the world.”

“But what am I gonna do, Nico?” A whine.

“Tell Maki to skip the party and call me later. For pizza or something, Nico knows a place.” And that was as much help as Rin was getting from Nico. Maki was an adult, she could make her own choices. Nico chose to follow through on her responsibilities.

Call ended, Nico slid the mute button over and tossed her phone into her bag. “And now Nico blows everybody away.”

Umi nodded, already going down her mental checklist for Nico’s upcoming stunt. “Make sure the safety harness is tight. I’ll go over all the fastenings.”

“You’re just fas-cinated by Nico Ni.” Nico bounced into her pose.

Umi stared at Nico, then quirked an eyebrow, “That tired, huh?”

Lowering her hands, Nico giggled, which lightened the weight, “Yeah, I guess so.”

###

“Is my ride here yet, Rin? Did Dia get to sleep? I still have to dry my hair.” Maki, a towel slung over her head, dressed in a clinging lilac to near black ombre swing dress. Rin grabbed Maki, forcing her into a seat.

“What the hell, Rin?” Pulling off the towel, Maki glared.

Rin had her hands on her hips, her expression serious, finger wagging at Maki’s nose. “You’re grounded, Maki. No parties.”

Maki stood, looming over Rin, staring down at her oldest friend. “I’ll say it again, Rin, what the hell?”

“Nico’s not going to that party. You’re in a foul mood and you’ll just get in trouble. You know how you get.”

“You got really boring.” Maki pushed Rin back.

Rin shook her head, “No. I’m a mom. In a relationship. And so are you. And Nico’s a real person with feelings and a stunt car crash to do…”

Maki pulled Rin back, lifting the shorter woman off her feet, nose to nose, “What do you mean, stunt car crash?”

“Nico said she had to” Rin concentrated, “Crash a car, rescue a girl, save the world.”

Maki dropped Rin and glanced at the nearest clock, it was after 9 p.m. “She’s still working? She stared at 5 a.m.”

“You work crazy shifts.”

“I’m used to it…” Maki tapped Rin on the shoulder, “How do you know so much about Nico?”

“I called her to tell her to take you to the party. And she said she had to crash a car.’ Rin inhaled, her chartreuse eyes determined.“You need to communicate better with Nico if you want a successful relationship like me and Kayo-chin, Maki.”

Maki sagged into the couch, head in her hands. Rin was practicing her parent of a teenager moves and Maki did not appreciate it. “Where is she?”

RIn shrugged.

Maki grabbed her phone, hitting Nico’s number. No reply. Then she tried Cocoro.

“Cocoro Yazawa. Can I help you?”

“This is Maki. Let me talk to Nico.”

“I’m sorry, Dr. Nishikino, my sister left no instructions about being interrupted.”

“Where are you?” Maki felt her jaw clench.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Nishikino, but the set location is secret.”

“Tell me…”

Cocoro’s curt, professional tones cut off Maki’s snapped demand, “I will let Nico Ni know you called, Dr. Nishikino.”

And a ringtone. Maki wanted to throttle Cocoro. But that wouldn’t be any way to make inroads with Nico. Umi, Nico had hired Umi, Umi would...no, Kotori would, Kotori could be persuaded to share information. Umi’s integrity was unbreachable by anyone not Kotori.

###

“Hey, is Nico coming home tonight?” Nozomi slid next to Eli on the couch, wearing Eli's robe, her hair loose and luxurious.

Eli put down her Atlantic magazine, “I don’t know. Why?”

“I want you to stop pretending you’re mad at me and sleep in my bed.” Nozomi bit at Eli's shoulder.

Eli snorted, “How romantic.”

“I’m not offering romantic.” Nozomi took the magazine out of Eli’s hand, then grabbed Eli’s wrists to pull her closer, green eyes alit with dangerous urges. “You have needs. I have wants. And really really graphic fantasies.” Nozomi’s tongue licked from Eli’s ear to her...

“NOZOMI!”

“Text Nico, tell her to sleep in her own bed. Unless you want her to know that you…”

Eli put both her hands on Nozomi’s face, pulled her beloved, impossible wife in close, and drifted into a slow promise of the deepest of kisses, the only way to stop the avalanche of provocation. Then she grabbed her phone.

###

Nico winced, her ears still ringing. The boom had blasted through her hearing protection and her head had maybe, maybe contacted the crash foam. She couldn’t exactly remember the sequence of events. The helmet had helped, but pulling it off dramatically had been immediately followed by a wobbly tilt into the car. Nico was now taking a minute, eyes closed, to rest before checking if the world really was spinning.

“NICO!”

The crash must have messed her up, she thought she heard Maki’s voice. Bad enough she’d nearly messed up the timing because she kept wondering if Maki had gone to Tsubasa’s party and how many shots of tequila had she downed. Maybe Nico had been thinking about tequila so much Nico was sympathetic tipsy.

“Nico?”

A hand on Nico’s arm, with a grip that was going to add to Nico’s bruises. Arnica gel, entire tube, maybe Nico could find a sympathetic dancer who had massage skills. Nico opened her eyes. Maki, face flushed, gorgeous eyes weary and worried, a killer ombre shaded dress clinging to curves that made Nico instantly more alert. Maki smiled at Nico, then opened her sling bag and handed Nico a menu.

“Read the prices to me, Nico.”

After a couple of minutes, Nico realized what was odd. “You carry pizza menus around with you?”

“Just read the numbers, Nico.” Maki’s beautiful long fingers traced a pattern on the paper.

Maki had knelt, staring up into Nico’s face. It was all weird. “What kind of a date is this? Quizzes first?”

“It’s a concussion test, Nico. Eye movement is one of the biggest disruptions.”

“You like….” Nico wondered why she’d started that sentence. “Eyes, Nico’s eyes.”

Maki bit her lip, nervous, it was sexy adorable, and Nico would have given up a platinum record to not be feeling nauseous.

Umi appeared next to Maki. “I checked the footage. There was definite head contact. Cocoro’s sending everyone home. I’m glad you’re here, Maki.”

“Nico, can you read me the prices of a couple of appetizers, three pizzas, and a dessert.” Maki’s voice was very calm, but Umi noticed her hands trembling.

“Clever.” Umi whispered.

“Just order whatever you want, Maki.” Nico let the menu drop, “Nico will pay.” Nico leaned back onto the car, Maki and Umi with a quick glance agreed to split and support Nico from either side.

“C’mon Nico, I’m taking you home.” Maki said quietly.

Nico frowned, “Nah, Eli’s right?”

“Are you sure she shouldn’t go to an ER?” Umi pulled her phone out, ready to hit 911.

“I’ll take her if her symptoms worsen.” Maki tapped the car hood, considering. “I want to avoid noise and people.”

“Hey, Sis!” Cocoro raced up, “The director wants to talk to you about tomorrow.”

“Nico won’t be here tomorrow.” Maki snapped.

Cocoro shoved between Maki and Nico, “You have no authority here, Ms. Nishikino. Nico handles everything.”

Maki spoke deliberately. “There is a high likelihood that Nico has a concussion. She will need to recover before she does anything else.”

Nico smiled and hugged her sister, “Hey, Cocoro! Where’s the car?”

“We can still shoot some of the background scenes tomorrow, Cocoro, if I remember the storyboard correctly. I’ll help you figure out who we need.” Umi pulled Cocoro to the side, trusting Maki to support Nico.

“But Tsubasa’s scheduled…”

“Tsubasa…” Nico raspberried, “can go away.”

“Is there a problem with her cameo? Cocoro sounded concerned.

“The problem is your sister has a concussion.” Maki put her arm around Nico’s waist, Nico leaned in to her, “I’m taking her home.”

“To your place?” Cocoro relaxed, “Good. Eli called me, Nico. She said she needed some wife time.”

Nico didn’t appear to be listening.

Maki did not want to deal with her parents. “We’ll just go to her house. I know the address.”

Cocoro frowned, “But there’ll be…”

Umi decided the matter, “That’s a good idea, Maki. Nico gets dropped off sometimes on the block behind and sneaks through her neighbor’s backyard. I suggest that.”

“Okay.” Maki kept careful watch of Nico, “Text me the address.”

“I’ll drive you. They’ll be watching for your car.”

“This one’s got Wisconsin plates. No one’s seen it.” Maki pulled a beanie out of her bag and pulled it over her red hair. She handed another one to Nico, “Let’s be spies.”

Nico stared at the hat, as if unsure what to do with it. Cocoro, after a glance at Maki, stepped forward and pulled it over Nico’s carefully coiffed apocalypse hair. “Dr. Nishikino’s gonna take good care of you, sis.”

“Nico doesn’t need a doctor.” Grumpy, hunched Nico detached from Maki to lean against the car.

“All right, Nico, I won’t be just a doctor.” Maki blinked, feeling tears in the corner of her eyes, “But buy me that pizza. For our date.”

Nico nodded, “Okay.”

“Let’s go pick it up.”

Nico stood, Maki offered her hand, Nico reached for it, missing the first time, “I’ll drive.”

Maki hummed.

A/N: Good and sad things the past week, hope you are well.

[jikanet-tanaka]

Whoaaa, I can’t believe I actually finished RH:PC. All in all, I had some great fun, I mean it was like meeting up with an old friend to chat over a warm cuppa tea…

Here are a shitload of some thoughts I had while playing the game, embellished with dumb gifs because I have the maturity and attention span of a fifth-grader.

FYI, the original ending is like, one of my favourite ending in all the history of jRPGs. Yeah, no kidding. I love the bittersweet feel to it, how it shows Stocke’s growth as a character and how heartbroken his friends are over him having to die for their sake. Most of all, I love that the source of the problem is not addressed (because it just can’t be addressed), but that everything ends up going in the right direction anyway because of SCIENCE! and because the right people are finally in the right places, just as that kind of situation would go in real life. And, uh, confession time, but the final bit between Heiss and Stocke made me bawl like a baby… I mean, the former shot up to become my thrash son problematic fave solely by the strength of that scene. It made me write a fanfic that’s about the length of the sixth Harry Potter book, y’all. That’s some serious shit, I still can’t quite believe it.

So, as you can all probably tell, the thought of them changing that ending… yeahhh, not gonna lie, that was me:

I knew they could not make me like the ending more, because it was already perfect in my humble opinion. So with that in mind, I made the deliberate choice to go in with lowered expectations and in a way, it… worked? I didn’t get that salty about any of the new stuff, mostly because I felt the extended ending and the parts with Nemesia couldn’t ruin anything for me since the core of the game - the heart of what made the DS version works so well - was still there, just a bit more gussied up by those gameplay tweaks and that fancy voiced script. Even when there was something I found dumb or badly executed, I didn’t get annoyed, I just went ‘oh, okay, whatev’ and continued to play. Because I still loved those characters and that ‘verse and it made me happy to be able to experience it again.

(Wait, no, I’m lying, there’s actually one thing that made my blood boil. The fanservicey bits are garbage, and I’ll be glad when the sort of creepy-ass mentality that gets us that moe crap will finally be gone. There, it’s off my chest now.)

I mean, even the art style grew on me, eventually (except for a few select female characters who looked like they were zapped by a moe ray… *beleaguered sigh* oh my poor Valkyrie, what have they done to you?) And in the cases of Marco and Heiss, I actually like their new portraits better! PC!Marco’s got some really cute expressions and PC!Heiss… well, PC!Heiss seems less like the kind of guy who drowns kittens as a hobby. I can almost buy that Raynie trusted him at some point in her life (…almost).

The voice work was quite solid too and that, uh, surprised me?? I even like the English dub better than the Japanese version! Rosch, Stocke and Heiss’ VAs did great jobs imho and I developed a sort of fondness for Gafka and Raul’s voices as well. Raul really sounded like the kind of guy who needs ALL THE CAFFEINE to deal with the sheer amount of shit going on around him, and that made me feel for the guy. You and me both, Lieutenant General… you and me both…

Other than that, here are a few things that made me lol/sigh/feel the feels in no particular order:

- Raynie’s got a new sidequest and it doesn’t have anything to do with her (still kinda badly-written) crush on Stocke?! A sidequest that actually addresses her PTSD??! Atlus, you blew my itty-bitty tiny mind here, you managed to remember that she had a life beyond being Stocke’s love interest!

- At the same time, why is Marco’s possible history about Mimel again? Why couldn’t it be about, oh I don’t know, his past, of which we still know nothing about?? Also, Sonja’s quest could have been about her brobro, you know, what we got instead was a bit… cringeworthy, what with those Stay-in-the-Kitchen overtones. C’mon, Atlus, plz.

- Everybody seems to hate the bad end where Fennel explodes because Stocke gave him a whack, but I love it. It was so, so dumb. It wasn’t as beautiful in its sheer wtf factor as Simmering End, but it was trying, definitely.

- Speaking of Simmering Fury… I’m just gonna leave this here:

Yeah, that speaks for itself, I think.

- Finally, we get the opportunity to beat the crap outta Dias and Selvan! …while they’re riding… giant… mechas??? This should not work, but it did for me (...why???). Also, Noah’s Pope mecha, lord, Noah’s Pope mecha, with his silly little Pope hat! I guess someone on the development team felt the original game needed more mechas.

- In general, Dias and Selvan’s heel-face-turn is the only one I can buy out of all of the new redemption arcs we’ve gotten. Since it’s shown even in the original game that they were acting out of a real desire to make their country better (well, all according to their own definition of better, which is not, uh, everybody’s definition of better), I can get that once confronted with the evidence that they’ve played right into the hand of some homicidal nutso, they’d change their tune. They’ve actually managed to put all the pieces together and find out Heiss’ real identity! ...it didn’t save them in the end, but I’m still proud of my boys.

- Protea willingly turning away from a life of sin, on the other end…

I get that they were trying to give more nuance to an admittedly thin character, but, uh, could they have found a more efficient (read: less OOC) way to make her more sympathetic? Her change of heart comes a little… too abruptly, in my taste. If it had been a gradual thing, I think it would have gone better. Hell, if they wanted us to feel sorry for her, they could have pulled a Cersei Lannister and shown us the less rosy side of marrying a royal for the power it brings you. Sure, money and prestige are all fine and dandy, but is it worth the cost of losing your agency to an asshole husband with control issues? Ask Cersei how it went for her…

- On Hugo’s side of things, myeahhh, I understand what they were going for, but again, it came a little fast? At least this time there was a little foreshadowing and some foundation for his heel-face-turn… still, the fact that his faith in Noah was genuine is nice and all, but, uh, I dunno, I feel like he was too far gone off the deep end at that point for a complete change in attitude? Dude went on fire and smiled.

- …but I like what they did with him in that possible history, where he mended his ways because he caused Noah’s death by being his usual asshole self. It could have been a good way to build up some sympathy for him if we could compare and contrast this ending with the one he originally got… that way, we could be sad seeing how that he did have the potential to be a good person but chose instead to chase after the trappings of power, discarding what made him a precious disciple in Noah’s eyes…

- Speaking about Noah, I think his whole arc had some good ideas, but I would preferred it if they added a little more build-up leading up to the reveal that he’s extended his lifespan with Thaumatech? Maybe have Stocke wonder why this Noah looks like he’s so young while his Noah is an old man? Have a few citizens comment on how surely, their prophet must have been blessed by a divine power since he’s aged so little over the years? I dunno, really… Still, I like the idea that he’s gotten tired of the way his people depend on him without ever trying to stand on their own. No wonder he’s all, ‘peace, homies, Noah out’ when you save him in the main timeline. It fits in nicely with the general theme we had in the original game of Alistel having to grow as a country by stopping using their faith as a crutch.

- As for Heiss’ ending, well, it does make me lol that’s it’s all about him being:

More seriously, I’m kinda worried for Stocke’s sake? Poor boy is never going to have a moment of peace, is he? Then again, this new-and-improved Heiss seems oddly… cheerful? And… happy?? You guys, he nearly apologized to Stocke for messing with his memory!!! …well, nearly, he’s not ready for such deep self-reflection, y’all. And now I’m wondering how the rest of the party felt about him still being around. I’m almost surprised Raynie didn’t try throwing him off Nemesia’s boat in the last chapter. I would have cheered for her.

…man, I almost feel a plotbunny coming on, hmm.

Anyway, I feel like they meant for his survival to be heartwarming, but I’m, uh, just freaked out on Stocke’s behalf, tbh. Heiss really needs to give Precious Nephew some space. Somehow, though, I don’t think this will be the case… as Gravity Falls would put it, Stocke’s life is Heiss’ soap opera, after all.

…poor, poor Stocke…

...

also totally I pwned Master Vainqueur, booyah.

Okay, so, you know these people who always have these little notes and go “just be happy!!!!”, “positivity!!!”; I was silently judging them in my head, but then later had to justify myself in front of some heavenly court and hold a long speech about how I tolerate other people’s way of life even if it’s different from mine, and if that doesn’t tell you a lot about me as a person, I really don’t know. Oh yeah, there was also the dream where I got to meet Britney and had so many questions and the only thing I could get out was asking if she was planning a duet with Psy (but she was!!!). There’s more, I am really useless but I am tired and need to sleep, I will, one day, maybe get back to some of the others because they were interesting but... my energy levels are so low now. Tagging: If you tagged me in one of these, feel tagged for the others if you haven’t done them yet. Uhm, take the questions here, my brain is not functional. Also tagging: @daiousamashittykawa​, @pyro-madder​, @schwanendreher​, @sirwallahoo​, @bbmelon​, @yescabbageguystuff, @thewiselearnfromhistory, @the-smallest-kurapika uhm, anyone i’ve ever spoken to who feels like doing it? If you want to do one or none or all, just, do whatever you want, I want you to be happy ok.
