It was good to have you aboard. Best of luck out there.
Stay safe, fam. We'll miss you.
I'm sorry we couldn't do more.

Takeru Segawa is the type of man they made myths out of. Intensely privileged to be able to say I watched him burn so bright as he did before going out with a win. I’ll miss you, hero.

a frayed thread on the colorful tapestry of our existence, begging to be yanked until the whole thing unravels, a suggestive, inviting golden glow around the idea of leaking my buddy's DMs to his wife

Schwarzes and Such
Okay, alright, fine. For the sake of my own ability to think straight, I had to come to terms with the fact that, inevitably, I was going to get drawn into whatever nonsense these two were spewing. As a responsible older brother, it was in my earnest nature to correct every single mistake they made on such things, and with them making so many so egregiously, I was doomed to a life of being the beleaguered mentor, selflessly giving up my time and energy to keep those incorrigible little sisters of mine on the straight and narrow.
...
But really, though, I had to admit that I worked better in the quiet and undisruptive situations that the scenario of April and Dawn being in the same room completely demolished, so despite my best efforts, I was back to getting nowhere fast. Only this time, it wasn't an internally-sourced problem. Drawing up blueprints, albeit basic and rough ones with my artistic skill, and gathering the parts for an assembly of the reverse-engineered bit were pretty obviously my next two steps, but what they required was some level of focus.
"So is the Goldeneye, like, the Millennium Eye?"
Focus that I couldn't get a hold of to save my life with these two. I swore they did it on purpose.
...
Wait. Golden eyes.
"Alright, you two." I piped up, managing to cut in edgewise and disrupt what had become a perfect storm of chatter.
"Yeah?"
"Hai?"
"I've got a job for you. If you're up for it."
Challenge them. Attack with the possibility that there may be something they can't handle...
"Shoot!"
"Try us, nii-chan!"
And they're all ears. Huh. Simple. That was so blatant of me, too.
...Was it always this easy the whole time? Just appeal to their ability, and they'll even listen to me? That...
I don't know what it said about the three of us, but I'm not sure anyone came out better from the revelation.
A-Anyway...
"Since you've gotten the concepts straight in my head, I think it'd do us all a favor if you guys track down Tanner while I finish up here."
Time for payback, you sleazy aloha bastard. If you're gonna dump these two on me, I'll drag you back into the fold.
April, being the firebrand, was quick to respond brimming with confidence as she marched toward the door.
"Is that all? I can find him easy, nobody wears those shirts any more except for him!"
While that wasn't wrong, it was also terribly optimistic. I looked to Dawn, expecting a more level-headed response...
"Well, outside of a vacation, anyway."
...Not what I was hoping for, and really, on the subject of floral out-of-place dress? She wasn't in that much of a position to talk with her yukatas. If uniforms didn't exist, I was fairly sure she'd have gone to Signal in one of a different color for every day of the week.
Well, far be it from me to act against this Disappearance.
"You need him for something, or..?"
Oh, there it was.
"Well," I began, thinking over something suitable, moreso than 'I want to get one up on him for a change'. "I just think it's smart for us all to be in one place whenever Mom and Dad finally make their way up, you know?"
"Ah, that makes sense, if..."
"If?"
If what?
The answer to my question came from the local willow tree jogging in place, a mouth creased into a distrustful grimace.
M-My plan was failing!
"If you don't try to run off on us again, Nii-chan."
What the hell happened to me being a good guy deep down?! I mean, you're right to suspect me of deception, but didn't you just deceive me too by saying all that?!
"I won't leave this place, don't worry. I've got work to do. Remember," I said, raising my hands, "You did find me here in the first place."
...
Suddenly, all smiles again.
"Good point! We'll be back in a flash, bro!"
"Work hard!"
...
I'd never understand their thinking.
But I think I was beginning to understand their desires.
...What did it say about me that they just wanted to trust me, then?
That they were perfectly willing to help me if they could trust me?
...
...
...Get to work, idiot. You've done it now, may as well make sure it's for something.
As for the remaining member, even as I sat back down, I decided to go against everything I'd just said and create some idle conversation of my own.
"So," I began, fishing through the general machinist's treasure box of good fun loot. "I'm sorry if this is being presumptuous, but you use a polearm, right?"
Where had I sent those two off to in finding that guy, anyway?
--20 minutes later--
Said guy was currently in the middle of an animated chat with an old, old friend. As animated as it got for his languid demeanor, true, but to anyone who knew him, he was obviously a little less flippant and a little more friendly than usual.
"So between you, Julia, and Holly, O Immortal one," came the sentence from within the wry grin even as two familiar sets of feet were storming down the halls behind him, "I'm starting to think I'm the only one of us that halfway looks our age. Of course, disregarding Slate, but I personally haven't seen him in years. As for the rest of you, you're all way too young-looking, really."
"There he is!"
"The dorms, of all places..."
He smirked, turning and waving to the closest thing he had to a pair of nieces nonchalantly. "And to speak of youth, the two of you ever meet the girls?"
"So this is where you were hiding, huh? Looking for Nii-chan's dorm?"
"Nah, I just heard the telltale sounds of a search-and-seizure and got curious. Your father did say he wasn't going to make it until the evening, after all. This crotchety old man got a little confused."
"Wait, you can learn to tell how police searches sound?"
"You must hang around Papa more than we thought..."
"Aha. Well, I do hang out with a lot of people." he said wryly, notably having a habit of never sticking around one place long enough to hang out with people. Inclining his head in the direction of the cardinal-headed youngster, he continued with an impish "Like this kid, for instance."
"Oh, you know more students? Hi there! I'm April, Luke's little sister!"
"I'm Dawn, also his little sister!"
"It's nice to meet you!"

Mark this day people, this is a momentous day, for on this day @MULTI_MEDIA_MAN remembered to put the mention in the IC post.

"Nah, he's more like our kinda-uncle!"
"A godfather?"
"Or maybe The Godfather..."
"Can you imagine him saying 'say hello to my little friend!'?"
"That's Scarface."
"Or 'I like dis painting. One dog's goin' one way, the other dog's goin the other way, and this guy in the middle's just sayin, 'whaddya want from me?!'"
"That's Goodfellas! Get it together!"
What kind of messed up movie lexicon did these girls have?! Dad must be crying, wherever he is!
As hilarious as it was to know our policeman father loved mafia movies, it was decidedly less hilarious to get caught up in trying to chastise those two unsalvageable pieces of work while I left poor Galla hanging, so I redirected my attention to her while they continued to prattle on for a moment.
"No, not quite. More like just the first person Mom and Dad reached out to who agreed to take them here earlier in the day. With the dude's vagabond nature, I'm honestly not surprised at it, but I guess being Mom's former teammate means you still answer the call. Even if it's the last thing anyone would reasonably expect of you."
"--Shaken, not stirred."
"Bond isn't even a mob flick!"
I rubbed my temples.
Help me.

"So," I began, after confirming that Galla had indeed lost interest, not that I blamed her. "Anything else I need to clear up before you go running wild with it?"
"Uuuh..."
"Hm..."
In perfect stereo, they rubbed their chins in thought, and I sighed, folding my arms and tapping my foot. For all I built them up to be in my head, I had been ignoring the simple fact that they were still teenaged girls, and teenaged girls who loved accosting their elder brother at any slight, perceived or otherwise. In a way, I had kind of earned it over the years.
It was no secret that we didn't get along.
It was no secret that I resented them.
It was no secret that they resented me.
We had clashed countless times over anything and everything under the sun, no matter which of us started it. Me with my words, April with her fists, Dawn with an awl, anything was fair game. It was only natural that they would grow to distrust me— Anyone would distrust the person I used to be.
A guy who shunned any form of societal engagement, would regularly spit depressive nonsense and unnecessarily harsh words without regard for the feelings of others, or even worse, would do so with full intentions of hurting them for no other reason than to be petty and have people share in his own misery. Despite being superheros in training and part-time dispensers of hometown vigilante justice, those two were by no means safe from my cynical wrath.
I was a nearly a dropout of high school, and already a washout of a person. I may have turned a new leaf at the eleventh hour—
But even that was simply months ago. Some built up distrust was unavoidable. On one hand, I intellectually understood the situation with mostly perfect clarity, but on the other, less rational, emotional side...
Well, let's just say negativity is a feedback loop.
But back at present, if they hadn't thought of anything yet, they weren't going to now.
"So, when are Mom and Dad supposed to get here, then? Do you know?"
"As soon as they can, that's the best we got."
"In other words, not a clue!"
Huh. Busy day today, wasn't it? It was no skin off my back, thankfully, because I understood the situation.
Freeing up the schedules of a police chief and an active huntress at the same time was like asking for a small miracle.
And to speak of hunters with miraculously free schedules...
"Dawn, you two didn't happen to catch where Tanner ran off to, did you?"
"We haven't seen him since we got off the airship. In fairness, we did ditch him, though."
"Left him right in the dust! Heheh, bet he didn't see that coming!"
No, he entirely did. You don't get past that man so easily unless he lets you, which opens its own can of worms when you think about it. That guy wants to play surrogate uncle and trusted chaperone for these two and he lets them go once I'm here to deal with them?
Dude, that's really cold.
"What about you, Galla?" I asked, hoping the stoic girl wasn't too absorbed in the local news. "No scruffy older dudes in aloha shirts on the way here? If you saw him, you'll know."
