othala | voice ✺ There's no place like home. Like, there's /literally/ no place.

[fehus]

Happy November, I guess. Was it just me, or was October wholesale organic FDA-approved nuts? I hope everyone's doing okay and got sweet candy for their troubles, at least.

[...]

Um. And I was wondering, what do you guys do to make your imPort housing like home? In before "it's not the place, it's the people, Magnus" 'cuz like, sure Mr. Rogers, but it is kinda the place, too.



[ PRIVATE GROUP MESSAGE LOCKED TO; Alex Fierro, Ronan Lynch, Tefe Holland, Archie Andrews, Peter Maximoff, Odin Dark, Blue Sargent ]

Um, hey. So Alex and I finally found a spot we want to put up a permanent structure on. We... were hoping we could ask a big favour of each of you, that is, uh, to help us get it up? We know it's a lot to ask but it would help us out a lot if you guys could use your powers to... help. -- Yeah, I'm talking about the power of construction, Archie. It's okay if any of you are busy or whatever, too, just let us know so we can figure some other stuff out.

Uh, the place we picked is in Shenandoah National Park, in Virginia. We're thinking of a Hogwarts situation. I'll attach some pictures we took.

-- I don't know why I'm being so awkward. It's kind of a big deal, I guess? Also I really don't want Alex to turn into a popsicle when winter comes.

Thanks.

You're awkward because you're moving in with the girl you love and you're super shy about it, baby boy!

You know I'm here to help. I love you and Alex and I wanna make you both super happy. I hope I'll measure up to your expectations.

[quickfingers]

Ay, I'm in.

Not sure what I can do but I can probably do something. #Helpful

[nightmarist]

No problem. You guys should probably come into the dream with me and show me what you want, if you can stomach being in my head that long.

( voice )

[garotted]

Yeah, not turning into a popsicle would be great, thanks babe.

[songwrite]

[Magnus!! Is gonna!!! Live inside a house!!!! Peer pressure we did it, y'all, we're finally here, it worked— Archie would like to thank the academy, and Alex for Feeling the Cold,]

Of course I'll help!! [Okay wow dial it back Archie: he has, at least, the good grace to look sheepish.] I mean, yeah, I don't really have much going on.

I got a pet. I'm going to have a garden when I get off my butt and get it going. Probably the best place to start from a decorating perspective is figure out what you'd like the place to look like?

[fehus]

[there's a kind of verbal shrug]

I wouldn't mind anything, as long as it's not cluttered. [...] A garden would be nice. Lots of places outside to hang. A bed? I dunno. I don't think I'm at the level of interior design, I was homeless and then lived in a hotel.

-- Hi, Lorna. What kind of pet did you get?

[eloquentness]

I got flowers. Which, in hindsight, wasn't exactly because I wanted them so much as my work was offering them to me.

But also, I make sure our place fits our needs, you know?

[fehus]

I don't. What?

[caduceusvalkyrie]

Hm, I've decorated the house like I would back home if I had the time. But beyond that, I haven't really done much and it still doesn't feel quite like...home. I don't think there's anything I could do to make it like that completely.

[fehus]

Mm... I don't know if there's such a thing as like. One single, special, above-all-others home. Things happen. People and places change. If you never got brought here but had like, a huge flood that fucked your house up, is it still home? Kind of thing.

Bwahaha! No-one was there to stop me making it all tacky and pirate themed!

Give me a spin. Let me see those anchor patterns.

I got a harpsichord and a cat.

Re: voice

That sounds like a set-up to a joke.

[legionnaires]

I haven't made mine like home. It's just a room.

Re: voice;

[fehus]

How come? Don't spend much time there?

[ Voice ]

[ghoulking]

Isn't home the people you are with? [ look he is a nerd, can you blame him for saying this ]

I'd say books. [ he has tons of them ]

Re: [ Voice ]

[fehus]

Kaneki you didn't listen.

My books are all library books. Or ones I accidentally took home from the cafe. ...I'll bring them back. Sorry.

[pummelgranite]

No shit, would really love to hold an actual Thesmophoria one of these lifetimes but hey, no, that's cool just everyone take a huge metaphysical shit wherever you fucking feel like. It's October in America, anything goes, yeah?

Anyway, all you actually need is a minifridge.

[fehus]

Did you get metaphysically shat on?

I had a minifridge in Valhalla. It was always stocked with warm churros and funnel cake, like you can get at a theme park. I loved it like a son.

[incogneto]

I rebuilt it.

[garotted]

That, uh, definitely requires funds we don't have. What about smaller-scale ways?
