MHA #6, Thursday Evening - PARTY!

Liam and Verity had decided to celebrate the whole 'officially moving in together' with a housewarming of sorts. Never mind that even before the rest of his stuff had made it over there, Liam had basically been living at the apartment in practice if not in name. Look, they wanted to throw a party, they were throwing a party. 'Housewarming' was just a convenient excuse.

The weapons that usually were strewn about the apartment had all been stashed in the bedroom, and there was a good selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non) laid out on the kitchen table. They might be in debt to the various restaurants in Fandom for providing the spread, but no one wanted to nosh on Verity's "leftover Chinese food fajita specials." The mice had even been bribed with a selection of the appetizers to stay away from the table of food. (They had not, however, been expressly forbidden from trying to convince anyone to give them food once it had left the table, so... fair warning.)

Coats go in the spare room and please don't touch the Barbie Dream House. Unless invited to by the mice, of course.

[ooc: up early for SP because things like timezones and work get in the way. open to all friends, neighbours, ex-housemates, coworkers, friends-of-friends, etc. basically, if you're an adult you got an invite.]

In general, Amaya wasn't really much of the socializing type, and she did have an awful lot of work to catch up on, but she'd been a rabbit being toted around for the better part of a week now, and it would be nice to do human things like talking and using hands again. Besides, she'd found that, when she pulled herself up and forced herself to go to these party things that she was sure she'd only gotten invited along to because nearly everyone in town did, she wound up with some new jobs.

She wasn't about to say no to the possibility of new jobs, after all.

So she was there, not really sure what one did for a housewarming party that wasn't even technically in a house, grateful for food and drink to distract her from her general lack of socialiable skills.

If anything, Amaya really didn't expect Liam to really forget her any time soon after the whole summer of dealing with the construction right next door to the trooper station. They were still neighbors, after all, in a sense.

So Amaya smiled faintly, nodding with her greeting. "Sheriff," she said. "Good to see you. I suppose this is where I likely compliment you on your lovely home?"
special_rabbit: (pointing it out)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] special_rabbit 2019-03-28 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, then," Amaya said with a cursory glance around and another nod, "compliments to you and your lovely home. And thanks for the invitation. You can probably imagine, I haven't really been to many of these before."

People didn't really...move much in Daventry, and, when they did, there usually wasn't a big deal about it.

"And congratulations on that, then, as well," Amaya remarked with a mildly impressed look around. "Crowd like this, I'd say that's a pretty solid success. And nothing too strange seems to be happening. I remember a time it seemed any time Stark and Rogers had a party like this, something always went a little...off."

Because Stark and Rogers had great timing for their shindigs.

"Ehhh, I'd still be more than willing to risk it," Amaya admitted after a little bit of thought, "if only to get another look at that grill that Stark's got, assuming I'd be of the right mind to properly appreciate it. You much of a griller yourself, Sheriff?"

"Amaya!"

Seivarden was happy to see someone here who definitely wasn't on her ignore list, someone who she really enjoyed talking to.

"Good to see you're back to your usual self. Heard you on radio this morning."

"Captain," Amaya greeted Seivarden with a nod and a faint regret that she hadn't had a chance to really check out the food spread to see if there were any carrots there. There'd been more than enough fussing over food this last week to last her a lifetime, thank you very much, but she couldn't entirely look too bothered about it, though she tried to at least a ltitle. "It's good to be back to my usual self. I think if I'd had been a rabbit any longer, I might have had to have done something drastic."

Just how drastic could she have gotten as a bunny rabbit? She didn't know, but, boy, would she find out.

"Another reason to be glad you didn't," Seivarden said, not doubting that even as a rabbit Amaya could come up with something drastic.

"Do you feel ok?"

Fjord had fed her unsuitable food, after all.

Just wait until you hear about the coffee, Seivarden!

"Right as rain," Amaya assured her with a firm nod, a lift of her chin, and a squaring of her shoulders that might have suggested she was being perhaps a little too firm about the whole thing, but it had nothing to do with her stomach, "and never been better! I'd go so far as to say fit as a fiddle, even; there's nothing quite like being stuck as a rabbit for a week to really make you appreciate being in your own skiii--" skin was a bad choice of word right there but it was too late noooooow, just keep running with it, BLackstone!, "skin again."

She cleared her throat.

Oh, look, snacks!

Seivarden turned her head to see what had caught Amaya's attention.

"Oh, food."

That people picked up with their hands.

"You have a bit more to choose from now."
special_rabbit: (heh.)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] special_rabbit 2019-03-28 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, what?" asked Amaya, who was just going to latch right onto that, you bet all the shiny gold coins in Daventry she was, quirking a brow at Seivarden. "In that I actually get to choose? I swear, I don't think I've ever witnessed so much fussing over what someone else was putting in their own mouths before."

And that look was directed at you, Seivarden, and Fjord and Fenris, even if you were the only one to see it.

Well, maybe not Fenris.

He'd actually given her meat (albeit no sticks), so he got a pass.

"You were a rabbit!" Seivarden didn't sound particularly insulted. "I didn't want you to get sick, and Fjord was feeding you popcorn."
special_rabbit: (considering)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] special_rabbit 2019-03-28 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mighty good popcorn, at that," Amaya noted. "Until someone went and tried mixing carrots up in it. It was Monday; Mondays are for movies and popcorn." This semester, anyway. "Just the way things work; I'm not about to let being a rabbit interfere with how things work if I can help it."

She folded her arms in front of her, regarding Seivarden with a speculative tilt of her head.

"And now you've got me wondering," she mused, "on what your thoughts on feeding a rabbit coffee might be."

Verity was discovering she was a lot worse at parties when she wasn't using a party girl cover and there were people she didn't know in her their house. But while she didn't know Amaya well, she at least had something to say to her.

"You! You're the blacksmith, right?" Verity asked, actually smiling. "Do you take commissions? And do repair work?"
special_rabbit: (proud smile)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] special_rabbit 2019-03-29 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
And what a beautiful thing to say, at that! Amaya couldn't help grinning a bit, because see? Jobs! She couldn't be too sore about this whole social thing when it kept meaning jobs!

"I'm the blacksmoth," she confirmed with a nod and a proud smile that hadn't diminished one bit since she first picked up a hammer, "and I sure do, on both accounts. What'd you have in mind? I've currently got another project that's taking a mite longer than expected, on account of me being stuck as a rabbit for a week, but as soon as that's cleared up, I'll definitely be itching for the next one."

"I've got a couple of axes that could use some repair work," Verity said, shoulders relaxing a bit now that she was talking to someone about something she knew, rather than just small talk. "I have whetstones and a wheel to keep the edge, obviously - "

Sure, okay, 'obviously'

" - but there are a few that could use a little more care than I can give them with what I have on hand, you know? Actually, most of them should be checked out, just for safety. And I could use a weapons rack to keep some of the other stuff."

You know. Instead of 'against the wall in the hall' or 'tucked under the bathroom sink.'

There was absolutely nothing coming out of Verity's mouth just then that Amaya didn't just love to hear, as the pleased little grin on her face probably indicated.

"I'd be glad to have a look," she said with a firm nod, "and see what I can do to make sure they're in the best shape they can be. Just bring 'em on around to the shop, I can get a good idea of how long they'll be in for. And a rack's easy enough, especially if you wnt something simple and functional, but I can work out something a bit more fancy if you like, too. I actually helped kit out Diaz's whole closet not too long ago for hers, looks real nice in there, if I do say so myself."

"I take good care of my gear," Verity said with no little pride, "but I still want them checked over every so often by a professional."

Which was part of taking good care of her gear, really.

"Do you do guns, too, or just melee?"
special_rabbit: (eager talking)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] special_rabbit 2019-04-02 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mostly melee and range weapons like bows and such, armor, and some contraptions, mostly geared," Amaya offered the brief, brief version of some of the services offered by the forge. "I've been itching to get my hands into guns, but they don't have 'em where I'm from, and it's a bit of a learning curve. And I suppose this isn't a bad problem to have, really, but I've been a mite too busy with other things to really give them the attention they deserve."

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

Yeah, okay, no guns. Verity loved her guns too much for them to be a 'learning curve.' They, like her knives, were her babies.

"I've got bows, swords, knives, various types axes, a halberd..." Yeah, this could go on for awhile.
