Holiday at Uncle's

[Gus1996]

Even though we're both approaching our mid 40s, never in my wildest dreams had I though such a thing would happen, and yet, here we are:

Today is the day my childhood friend comes to leave his teenage daughter in my care while he and the rest of his family goes on a 2 week long holiday abroad ... even though I asked him why his daughter would want to stay with a man she never met before instead of going with them, he just said I'd better hear it directly from her, since, at that time, not only would I be able to understand what exactly happened, but according to him, I'd also know what to do ...

To this day I sometimes fail to understand what goes through that guy's head, well, knowing him, it wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't thinking at all and just went with the flow of the events, given the fact he was never good at using his head ... but come on, I really thought that by now, he'd have learned a bit of common sense, instead of leaving all his problems for me to fix, it's not like we're children anymore.

ding, dong

Well, looks like they arrived, let's see how big of a problem I'll have to solve this time

opens the door and ...

Excuse me young lady, are you perhaps ... wait no, before that, why have you come alone ? where are your parents ?
don't tell me they just dropped you off at my doorstep and just drove off to the airport like this ... of course they did ... I'll need to have a word or two with your father when he comes back.

come on in, do you need help with your bags ?

"Well they...they are already gone.", said a slightly confused teenage girl who was a bit smaller than the average fourteen year old. She had frizzy black hair, brown skin and green eyes and wore a normal, slightly boring yellow t-shirt and jeans. Only her shoes seemed slightly more expensive. "So your uncle...huh...", she said and shook her head when asked if she needed help with her bags. She carried the two heavy looking bags easy enough on her own. She seemed to be the independant sort and not someone to get into a fistfight with, judging by the strength of her arms. The girl sat down without asking first and looked a bit dizzy. "Can I lay down, I am not feeling well...", she said in a low voice,"It seems I didn´t sleep well yesterday because I had that thing on my mind..." In truth she still was pretty upset on being left here, even though from the outside she looked calm. It had been a nasty blow...since they had been looking forward to that holiday for a long time, only to get in a nasty fight not long before departure, leading to the decision to drop her off. Her name was Nora by the way.

[Gus1996]

"I'm uncle Jack" said the well built (2,20m 120 kg or 7,2 ft 264lbs) ex-military now turned firefighter, as he let her into his home.

"you don't seem to be feeling well either" he said as he went to get her a glass of water.

"let me guess, you were anxious about being left in someone else's care for the first time and you consequently didn't sleep well ?" he asked handing her the glass
"or is it perhaps something else and you want me to do a quick check-up on you to see if you need to be taken to a doctor ?"

"OOC: where I'm from, firefighters also deal with medical & psychological calls, and we only call ambulances and doctors when you need to, for example, resuscitate someone with shocks + drugs after CPR reaches the appropriate point"

"I'm not sure what your father told you about me so I'll introduce myself a bit and then I'd like to hear about yourself as well, once you start feeling better" he said

"My name is Jack Valentier but I have a couple of nicknames, such as The Giant, courtesy of your father, so don't be surprised if someone comes knocking at the door looking for The Giant, or some other strangely nicknamed guy, because it'll probably be me they are referring to.

I'm currently 44 years old, work as a firefighter when I'm not on holidays like now, and I have a couple of rather unusual hobbys, like participating in Medieval Combat trainings and tournaments, as well as flying both aircraft and helicopters." he said looking at a corner of the living room where a couple of medals were on display.

OOC: I copied his hobbys from mine since I didn't have a clue as to what I could write there, that being said, I'm not rich enough to be able to afford the aircraft and helicopter licenses, so all my knowledge in these fields is only theorical, I still lack the practical side, unlike with the other hobby where the medals are real.

"by the way, your father didn't tell me why you chose to stay here instead of going with them, I'm pretty sure a girl your age would have enjoyed such a holiday, unless you are like a certain kid I once knew who would spend 20+ hours/day playing on his PC instead of living a normal life, but given your apparent strength I doubt that that's the case, so, what happened there ? if you don't mind me asking ?" he said with a puzzled face.

[Fenrir13]

"Hi. No its okay, I just didn´t sleep well.", Nora said, but gladly took the water. "Thanks.", she uttered. "Not much, but you must be an okay guy when you were friends, right? My dad is definately the more relaxed parent.", she said with a pained grin. "I am not sure if I want to talk about what happened right now...the long and short of it is that my mum is super mad at me because of something I said. And now they don´t want me with them for the holiday.", the teenager explained and looked up at Jack. "Wow, your tall. No wonder they call you "the giant".", she said with a soft chuckle,"So could you maybe show me my room, so I can lay down?", Nora asked, rubbing her eyes. She did seem at least slightly sad and felt kinda numb inside after being yelled at at home.

[Gus1996]

"your room will be the first one on the right upstairs" he said starting to show her the way to said room from the Livingroom where they were.

the house was quite big for a single person, having a quite big garden as well as being 2 storys tall, with 2 rooms on each floor, a bathroom on each floor as well, and completed by a kitchen and library on the first floor who were opposed by a gym and "armory" on the second floor, as well as a basement with a tornado/bombing bunker and an attic mostly occupied by utilities such as solar heating devices for water and a small solar powerplant to go with the solar panels in the house's roof.

"so, long story short, you got into a fight with your mom and that's why they left you with me?" he asked incredulous while leading her upstairs

"I'd have expected your father to have given you a good sound spanking and then have forgiven you and taken you with them on these holidays." he said before opening the room door and leading her inside

"although, what do you mean by "My dad is the more relaxed parent" ?" he asked as he pulled out a chair from under a study table and sat down on it.

"don't tell me he never spanked you for misbehaving before ?" he asked before adding "he surely should know how to do it given the amount of times we got it first hand for getting in trouble together when we were children" he said remembering his childhood.

[Fenrir13]

"Thanks...", she said and wanted to retreat before hearing the remark about the spanking. "Uhhh, thats really old fashioned. My father isn´t the kind of guy to give a spanking, maybe because he hated it so much growing up, normally he would have made me apologize and taken me with him, but mum insisted.", Nora claimed and really wanted to be alone now. It was weird to talk so much about spanking when you never had one, though part of her was wondering if it wasn´t better."Were you...spanked when you grew up? You probably got spanked a lot, right?", she blurted out when mentally she was already halfway upstairs. She turned around again, eying the tall man with morbid curiosity.

[Gus1996]

"well ... I personally almost never got spanked, alone that is ..." he said before elaborating further:

"... because when I was together with your father in our childhood we went by the nickname of: "The Devil Pair"; even though each one of us were individually well behaved, when we were together we were always trying to 1-up each other, always trying to go that little bit further to be better than the other on whatever it was we were doing, and, as you should expect, when we crossed certain lines that should never be crossed, consequences always followed" he then looked at her and continued

"and most of the time these consequences involved, but were not limited to, a good sound bare-bottomed hand-spanking for each one of us delivered right there, on the spot, it didn't matter if it was outside or inside after all, if we didn't want to get spanked in public then we shouldn't have been naughty in public, sometimes we even got it simultaneously, if the person who caught us had a big enough lap to fit us both over it." he finished before getting up and heading towards the room door where he stopped.

"now then, since you appear to be especially tired today, we can continue this little chat about misbehavior and consequences tomorrow when I'll tell you the house's rules, but now, I'll let you go to bed so you'll be feeling better tomorrow" he said while going outside the door

"the door on the other side of the corridor is the bathroom so you can go there to take a bath and relax before you go to sleep" he told her while showing her the door behind him

"I'll be downstairs in the kitchen cooking dinner, so if you're not too tired and want to come eat after your bath you'll have something warm waiting for you" he said before closing the door behind him and leaving her alone to do whatever she wanted to do

OOC: figured that even if the holidays officially only started Monday, her family would catch the plane to go there already Friday night, that way they could add 1 day to the holidays even though it would take them a whole Saturday of travelling to get to their destination.

[Fenrir13]

She arched an eyebrow and sat down on the stairs to listen to his story, feeling herself strangely fascinated. When he finished early she almost was dissapointed. "Bare bottom? In Public??!", she exclaimed and felt herself blushing slightly. Nora shook her head, not liking how the words stirred her imagination. "Those must have been different times. I can hardly imagine someone spanking their kid like that today, espacially bare bottom, in public, or both!", the girl stated, grinning in disbelief, still not sure if this wasn´t some strange joke,"...and I hope your rules aren´t too strict. At home we don´t have formal rules. Common sense usually keeps us kids from running wild."

She heard his offer. "Your too kind! I am not too tired. I think I will accept the bath. And a hot meal, too. That is...if you are a good cook. Mom always complains I am too picky.", the teen said and shrugged. She beamed as she got into the bathroom. "Oh this looks lovely!", she stated, feeling happier already. Maybe it wouldn´t be so bad here...she just had to figure out what to do for fun.



(Do we need a timeline? °_°)

[Gus1996]

OOC: no, we don't need a timeline, but I have something up on my mind which would take a full day to develop, and since she's already tired, might as well put her to sleep and start early on a Saturday (since you gave her quite the tough description with all that strength in your first post I think she might enjoy tomorrow's surprise, as for why a Saturday, well, it's the day in which I did that activity before moving from Brazil to Europe.
By the way, what's her favorite pizza ? so he can "accidentally" make the correct one and thus improve her opinion of him a bit more

"when he heard "Bare bottom? In Public??!" and saw her blushing while saying "Those must have been different times. I can hardly imagine someone spanking their kid like that today, especially bare bottom, in public, or both!" he couldn't help but smirk a tiny bit while thinking "I wonder what her expression will be when I update her on this topic later on during dinner" as he headed downstairs to the kitchen.

while he was heading downstairs he heard her say that her mom complained of her picky eating habits, but he figured that, since he was planning on making Pizza's tonight this aspect of hers wouldn't be a problem, for tonight at least ...

[Fenrir13]

(Okay, then the next day is a saturday. And I like the idea of him making her favourite Pizza. Maybe its anchovies? A bit too salty for me, but I think its an interesting choice.)


She did like Pizza like most kids. Anchovies espacially, they kinda made her feel like a gourmet since for a lot of people they were an aquired taste at best. Then she went into the bath, making sure that the door was closed tight as she wanted privacy like teens tended to do. She looked at the bath and put her hand in. It was perfect. When did she last time take the time for a bath? She usually just showered thoroughly. Nora undressed and jumped in, making a bit of foam fall out. Maybe the teen should have been a bit more careful, but it wasn´t that bad. She laid down into the hot water until only her face looked out and then relaxed for quite some time. When Nora got out the water had become lukewarm. She dressed into something comfy as she would soon go to bed and then headed downstairs whistling. This could become a pretty good end of the day for her, at least when the food was good, which she didn´t yet know.
