[ Welcome to a brand new, somewhat bare living room! Laurie’s sitting on the floor, her comm shooting from atop the coffee table. There are a couple of half-unpacked boxes off to the side and some shuffling going on somewhere immediately off camera. ]

Oh. There it goes. Um. Hi. It’s Laurie. And Sasha.

[ Cue Sasha’s legs appearing right behind Laurie. She bends over so her face can be properly seen and waves, smiling into the camera before plopping down on the floor beside her friend. ]

Hello!

We just wanted to kinda… Show off a little bit, I guess. Because we’re currently moving into our new apartment.

[ Sasha’s smile grows a touch wider, evidently excited having their own place finally. ]

We were trying to have everything set up by Thanksgiving, but that obviously didn’t work out. We’ll definitely be in business before Christmas, though. Like… Way before, even.

Sooo, Laurie and I were thinking when we’re done setting up things we would hold a housewarming party! Yeah, so if you’re friends with us you should come over!

Right, yeah. It’s… It’s that, or another Christmas party. Or both. Take advantage of the opportunities you have, right?

Either way, if you’d like to drop by, let us know. And please know us. Unannounced guests are one thing, but unknown guests… That’s a bad time waiting to happen.

Cute place.

[fridgeflower]

Thank you! There's still some stuff that we need to do to it, like furniture and curtains, but it's shaping up.

[inmyothertights]

Well, I'd be up for a housewarming thing.

[huntergames]

Thanks! Are you going to come over? We haven't spoken in a long time!

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, oh, right-

Sorry about that.

[brushoff]

I'll skip the party, but I'll send over a housewarming gift.

[ Dorian's normally Captain Party...but he's still not entirely sure where Toby sits with regard to Laurie and Sasha and would totally drag Toby along if there was a party. Better safe than sorry. ]

Are you two still in Heropa?

[fridgeflower]

You don't have to. [ Like, really. It's hard to tell whether the sentiment's supposed to be real or what. Maybe it is, maybe it's just teasing. Either way..! ]

Yeah. We've never branched out very far.

[brushoff]

Except I'm going to. This is what, your first apartment? There's bound to be something that neither of you realize you needed until I'll send it over. [ it's real, in a sort of 'Dorian is still trying to be a nice guy so that he can shove Toby into Laurie and Sasha's good graces' sort of manipulative way ]

I don't blame you for sticking close. We've got so much already with regards to Heropa and the Porter cities, why throw that away?

[huntergames]

[ While Sasha might have asked Dorian to come over, the possibility of him bringing Tobias is high and she doubts Laurie would appreciate that. ]

What kind of gift?

[ Very important question. ]

[brushoff]

Well, traditional housewarming gifts are usually something cute and useless or kitchen appliances. It'd be a little too on the nose if I gave you something cute and useless, so how does a blender sound?

[ Dorian's not going to shove his dubious taste of knickknacks onto Sasha and Laurie. Keeping it safe with kitchen appliances it is. ]

It looks lovely already, but I'm sure it will be better once you're finished! Where have the two of you settled?

[huntergames]

We're still in Heropa! We can text you the exact address later. You have to come by, too, Kanaya!

[ Sasha is actually awful at decorating so everything either tends to clash or is rather sparse. Girl could use some pointers. ]

[ Interior design may not be one of her most advertised skills, but she's totally down for it. ]

I'll certainly have to make the time to do so. Have you gotten everything moved alright?

[ Keeping the address filtered like that is interesting. Not that she'd blame anyone, she's had to do similar in the past, but that was because a mad clown was roaming about looking to kill all of its residents. The parallel is concerning. ]

[fridgeflower]

Thanks. I hope we can do alright with it. I'm going for curtains and cushions a little later this week, I think.

Well, if you need any help coordinating colors, or just a hand haggling with salespeople, give me a call. I'm rather experienced with it.

[The babies are all grown up, oh no. It happens so fast.]

Do you have utensils? A toaster?

[huntergames]

yes and yes
we dont have a blender but i think dorian will buy us one
and i think we need a vacuum or roomba

[infomodder]

We'll get you a vacuum as a housewarming gift.

[Lies. Will would buy Sasha a vacuum if she asked for one. This is just an excuse.]

[fridgeflower]

You really don't have to get us anything. I have a lot of money saved up, so it's fine.

[infomodder]

Not a fan of tradition?

[ video ]

[enucleation]

It's a nice place.

[ video ]

[fridgeflower]

Oh. Hey.

Thank you. We like it so far, at least.

[ video ]

[enucleation]

Hello. [ he smiles a little ]

That's good. Sharing a place with friends it's a fun experience.

[huntergames]

Thanks, Ken!

Will you come visit, too?

[enucleation]

[ aha... why do people invite him to their place? ]

... hm. Someday, I will. [ pro....bably not... Sorry, Sasha. ]
