"Popcorn is dealt with! I'm having Cheerios!" Ren calls out the window.

"... Well, now I'm this instead, anyways."

Permalink

"Which one is 'this'?"

Permalink

"Just very acutely scared for my physical safely.  When we go back in I might read up on emergency preparedness."

Permalink

"Okay. You ready to go back in now?"

Permalink

"Yes."

In they go to finish their pop tarts.

What flavor are they really, now that he cares about anything that's happening to him instead of actively trying to suppress that.

Permalink

Strawberry.

Cool.  Munch.

And when he's done he can drag Haru over while he rifles through his luggage looking for his laptop.  There it is.  Couch?

Permalink

He is going to learn so much about fire prevention and what to do in a fire and what objects you can own to make fires less likely / less bad / etc.

Permalink

Haru is going to get significantly farther in Les Misérables.

Julien makes a list!  Several lists, actually, of safety products he wants to buy at various priorities with various levels of income.  Once his powers come in and he knows at all what his life is going to look like.  Also where is/are the fire extinguisher(s) in this house.

Once he's gone through fire stuff he moves on to some of the other emergencies he asked about last night.  How recently does water need to have been boiled for it to be safe?  What's the best chemical purifying option?  What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and how often can people identify them from the inside?  How exactly do various detectors work?  He types lots of notes on all these things.

Haru can take him on a fire extinguisher tour of the house (one under the kitchen sink, one in the linen closet upstairs) if he wants.

Permalink

"Thanks."  He types descriptions of their locations and also takes pictures of them and adds them to his notes doc.  And then texts his mom that she should make sure she knows where hers are.  (She thumbs-up reacts him.)

Permalink

This is sure a way to occupy oneself but it seems harmless.

Permalink

By lunch his document is like 6k words, though large sections of it are pasted passages.  He'll sort through it and pare it down later.

Permalink

Haru turns on the oven and gets a cheese pizza out of the freezer. "Anything you want me to put on your half?"

Permalink

"No thank you."

Permalink

It goes in naked. Haru sets a timer. Cricket eats escolar.

Permalink

That sounds like more time which Julien could use to learn about tsunamis.  He does that.

Permalink

The Great Lakes don't really do those but maybe an asteroid flock will strike Huron, Ontario, and Erie simultaneously and Julien will be the only person who knows what to do and then he'll feel this was time well spent, Haru supposes.

Permalink

Well, a few of the many images getting pasted into his notes are incidence maps (locations of earthquakes that caused them and locations of ones that caused casualties or property damage, are the ones Haru catches glimpses of), so presumably Julien is also aware of the actual risk level here.

Permalink

There's aware of and there's aware of, but no comment.
