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.]

"Don't worry, before I moved in, I had a long talk with the mice and explained they're not allowed to colonize the walls the way they did at my parents' place," Verity said, relaxing a bit. "But yeah, we ended up replacing the lock after I walked in on my uncle here with a crossbow aimed at my chest. Bitching about how easy it was to break into my house."

Which, you know, was a thing that happened with families.

Fjord... really wouldn't know. Sounded a bit like the tough love approach, to him.

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?"

"There was some stuff going on it Baltimore," Verity said vaguely, since it was...probably?...weird to bring up 'attempted genocide' and 'torture' for a first conversation. "He was making sure that I was me. But he made roast beef for dinner, and a little bit of light threatening is absolutely a decent price to pay for that."

Fjord could appreciate that. He still didn't know when the appropriate time to bring up 'drowned while trying to stop a sabotage attempt' or 'giant glowing eyes' yet, himself.

"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."

"Exactly," Verity said. "For one thing, then I'd have to come and wreck my own place, kicking my doppelganger's ass for eating all my roast beef."

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.

"And that'd be a damn shame," Fjord mused, smirking faintly as he shook his head. "Everybody knows if you're a doppelganger lookin' to have a nice home-cooked meal, the done thing is to call well enough in advance that your host has time to have a place set for you, too."

Duh.

"Some doppelgangers just don't have manners God gave a goose," Verity agreed with a smile. "But so long as you don't expect anybody to break into your place with a crossbow and a meal, your locks would probably be fine."

"It's not a problem we frequently have at the hotel," Fjord noted, "so I don't think we'll worry too much about that one, then."

A pause.

"Much as I enjoy roast beef."

"Then you're already one up on me and you haven't even moved in yet," Verity said. "Not bad for someone who hasn't even moved in yet."

"What can I say? I'm a sailor by trade," Fjord replied with a low chuckle. "I can't do anything without making damn sure I'm good and prepared before I so much as give it a second thought."
