Party time, party time

[roundandaround]

WHO: Rinku, Mary, any friends of either/both
WHAT: Housewarming mingle!
WHEN: October 5
WHERE: Fine Arts House (Solarpeak)
WARNINGS: Keep it clean, there are kids here.

All those months of work are paying off, and Rinku and Mary have moved to Solarpeak! Their new house, a beach-stilt-style house in walking distance from the Summer Guild building, is bright inside and out, and today there are balloons and games set up underneath the house and a wide-open door up the stairs leading into it.

Anyone who knows Rinku and/or Mary will have been invited to party; housewarming gifts are accepted but not required, and food is provided, ordered in from nearby restaurants. The bedrooms are closed but everywhere else is open, and if you need to get away from the party, you can go sit outside... or if Mecchan isn't scared of you, he might let you chill in his room for a while. Otherwise, have fun with the games, the art room, the music room, the food, and anything else!


(This is a mingle, so go ahead and tag each other on any and all toplevels! Have fun!)

Isn't it great? I've got one like this at my house too.

Hi, Medusa. Can I cuddle with you?

[snekeyes]

I would like that a lot.

[Rolling over and holding an arm out- come cuddle with her Evangeline!]

And yes... this is a wonderful room.

[abnormalizes]

[Happily lying down next to her with an arm around her, cuddle time hell yeah.]

You should totally get one for yourself, you deserve it.

[snekeyes]

Mm, it would be nice...I will have to ask Napoleon if he agrees.

[There's a small, contented sound from her as she cuddled up with Evangeline.]

...Or maybe I should come by and take advantage of yours more often.

[abnormalizes]

I will absolutely not say no to more chances to snuggle with you.

[snekeyes]

Good, because I do enjoy being able to relax with you like this...

[She won't do anything suggestive - there are kids here! - but sometimes a cuddle is exactly what is needed.]

...Have you been keeping well?

[abnormalizes]

[There are kids here AND this is her sister's house, nothing spicy is happening here.]

Better than the last time you saw me? I still stress a little, but - things have been okay. What about you?

[snekeyes]

Mm, I still worry about everyone but... yes, it does seem to have improved in recent weeks. I am glad you are doing better, as well.

[Squeeze!]

...I have not met her companion yet, but Rinku seems happy here, too.

[abnormalizes]

She does! And I'm glad she's not living alone anymore. Mary gets lonely easily too, so this is good for both of them.

-Mary's a good kid. I think you'd get along.

[weird how they keep missing each other tho]

[snekeyes]

[Sure is strange... then again, perhaps it's for the best the very extroverted child can't harass the antisocial snek too much.]

I see... it seems as if they are well suited for one another. I will have to introduce myself, if I see her.

[Half-closing her eyes, relaxing...]

...It is going to be difficult not to nap, here.

[abnormalizes]

You could sleep if you wanted to. I'll make sure no one messes with you.

[Protecc.]

Evangeline soft ;;

[snekeyes]

[It was a rare, strange reversal of roles- to have someone offering to protect her rather than the other way around. And she couldn't help but smile.]

But then I would be pushing you to stay awake... it only seems fair for us both to sleep.

she loev

[abnormalizes]

I actually have a hard time sleeping anywhere but my own bed, so...

[She wouldn't be napping here anyway.]

Amy tag brain today; but what if Rider got cuddles?

[snekeyes]

Really? How do you manage when you have to travel out into the Segments?

[Just gonna give Evangeline a little kiss on the forehead-]

cuddles important

[abnormalizes]

...Pull an all-nighter, or take very short naps, usually...

[She feels like she's about to be scolded.]

They are!

[snekeyes]

That is not good for you, you know... unlike me, you need sleep if you are going to stay alert in a fight.

[...Given the scolding was half mumbled as Rider snuggled back up to her, though, questionable how effective it would be!]

...Does it help if someone is with you?

[abnormalizes]

Not exactly... I have an even harder time sleeping around other people, even people I know in my head aren't going to stab me when I give them an opportunity.

[snekeyes]

Ah... that must make it difficult.

[Especially as it was dangerous to travel into the segments alone!]

...I am a light sleeper, but I think it is getting a little better, here...?

[Chance of warriors bursting in to "kill the monster" lower!]

[abnormalizes]

That's good! Maybe one day I'll be able to sleep around other people, too?

[Working on their trauma, slowly but surely.]

[snekeyes]

Perhaps. ...Convincing your body that other people will not harm you takes more time than any of us would like. That someone will not try to stab you when they have a chance... and that a warrior will not sneak close to take my head.

[Trauma was something she found frustratingly slow to deal with, but she could at least see signs of improvement!]

...

...But, well...if you would like to try sleeping around me at some point, I would not be adverse.

[abnormalizes]

-Will you be hurt if I can't relax enough to sleep? I do trust you, it's just...

[Knowing that you're safe and convincing your body that you're safe are two different things.]

[snekeyes]

Not at all. Do not pressure yourself.

[Trauma was difficult, she knew that.

It wasn't something she wanted to ask, but part of her wondered if Evangeline'd sleep better with Gorgon than with her like this.]

...If that happens, we can always cuddle and talk like this, instead.

[Or pass the time in more intimate ways, but it didn't seem appropriate to suggest that right now.]

[abnormalizes]

Then - yeah, I would like to try that, when you're available. Thank you.

[Gentle squeeze.]

[snekeyes]

[She gives her a gentle squeeze in turn!]

Of course. When we next both have a free evening, then.

[Meanwhile, Rider had to try not to doze right here!]

[abnormalizes]

Have I mentioned lately that you're a good friend?
