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.]

Re: Arrive & Mingle!
He turned a nod and a polite smile her way, offering her a hand for the shaking.
"I don't think we've met," he noted. "Fjord."
Like the trjuck.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"Verity, and we haven't," Verity said, taking his hand with no hesitation for whole whole big and green and slightly-tusky. She had relatives that looked weirder. "Welcome to our place."
Shit. There was supposed to be more small talk, wasn't there? How was she so good at this as Valerie and so bad at this as Verity?
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"Well, thank you," he replied, keeping that handshake quick and firm, almost professional, before letting her hand go again. "It's a nice place you've got here, too. What's the building like? Friend of mine and I have been living out of the hotel for some time now, we've been considering maybe looking into a space we've got a little more control of, at some point."
A pause.
"On the other hand, I can't imagine this place comes with room service."
They were such disaster bachelors.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"Well, the security of the building is pretty lackluster," Verity said. "You can pick the lock on my front door with a bobby pin and I don't know if even a single person has noticed I climb up and down the building on the regular. But the open floor plan is good for parties and bad for ambushes and there's decent closet space. The mice love their closet when they're not sharing it with my axes."
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
... More or less. He had been a sailor with an occasional use for a sword right up until he had become a swordsman with an occasional opportunity to sail, but things like she was talking about? He could appreciate.
"Well, I probably won't have to worry too much about mice," he mused, "but closet space is probably good for... something. And climbing up and down buildings around this place more or less seems like a regular sort of hobby, anyway." A pause. "Might have to do something about the lock, but we don't have a whole hell of a lot worth stealing, and I think my roommate would enjoy the excuse to kick somebody's ass if they were to just walk in anyway."
Fjord had: Precisely nothing. He didn't figure someone breaking in would even have an interest in the shitty beer that had been living in the fridge since he'd moved in, not realizing just how shitty beer could get, around here.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Which, you know, was a thing that happened with families.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
But this was a man who would one day give a dagger to a five-year-old, so...
"That's one way to get the idea across," he mused. "'Right to the point' sort of family, is it?"
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
"Roast beef helps," he agreed, smiling crookedly. "And hell, it wouldn't do for him to serve it to the wrong you, so it sounds like it worked out well enough in the end."
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Verity wasn't much of a cook and while Liam was learning, Liam was learning. Her opportunities for a home-cooked roast beef were far and few in between.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Duh.
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
Re: Arrive & Mingle!
A pause.
"Much as I enjoy roast beef."
