tocatecno:

      ‘ i do. ’

SHE CASTS AN AMUSED GLANCE at what she can only guess is a lump of cat before turning solemn. 

      ‘ chuchi’s ghost has been around as long as i can remember. she got home from work one day and found all her clothes in a pile, right in the middle of the floor. remember la dominicana – next door ? she found her spice cabinet emptied out. completely.

      luckily, it knew better than to dump out the adobo and sazón. which is probably why all chuchi did was go the middle of the room and tell it that it was welcome to stay if it stopped messing with their chit. ’

okay, so maybe her imitation of her grandmother is lacking. leaning on his desk, she raises her eyebrows for dramatic effect.

     ‘ do you believe in ghosts ? ’

@iossd, who may get his hair tugged later should he spend halloween at abuela chuchi’s place.

          THE STORY made his eyes narrow, brows furrowing as he considered the information. maybe it was just him, but that didn’t sound all that much like a ghost- it sounded like simple forgetfulness. good thing chuchi wasn’t a mind reader, that sort of comment would get him an earful in a language he still struggled to keep up with. so he kept it to himself, shrugging at the returned question.

          “i haven’t seen enough evidence to support either position,” jun murmured as jyo-ri’s head poped out to survey his domain. “but there is a distinct lack of credible evidence to support it. besides...i’m not sure if i want ghosts to be real.”

the meredith youth centre.

the meredith youth centre, better known as the myc is a foundation started in new york city in 2016 by a wealthy philanthropist, in honor of his deceased younger sister. it initially started as a dance studio for lower income children and teens, but quickly expanded to offer counselling and tutoring services at low to no cost. dance and music remains at the heart of the centre, as the woman it was named for was passionate about them and intended to teach in these areas.

there is a plaque and small garden dedicated to her there too.

‘ has chuchi told you about her ghost? ‘ removing her wide-brimmed hat for examination, she gives its point a tug and returns it to her head. her candy-apple red lips are a striking contrast to the grin she offers him. ‘ it might be around today. ‘

          “CHUCHI tells me a lot of things. does not mean i understand it.” he watched, hand clasping the fold of his yukata as the cat bundled within shifted, giving him an almost comical belly. the children had found it amusing as he proclaimed he was with child and it was a cat.
