OUR HOUSE
CHARACTERS: Phil, Dimitri, Darcy, Ruby, the Venom Symbiote, and you!
DATE: June
LOCATION: The farmhouse on 499 Winter's Avenue
SITUATION: Home-making and housewarming
WARNINGS: Usual warnings for all characters involved but otherwise n/a
Moving out of the Oak and Iron has been on Darcy’s mind- well. Virtually since she got to Pumpkin Hollow. But with Phil back and all, they started making plans for it in earnest. A combination of saving up and mysterious brass from some old dude fairy (??? she isn’t asking too many questions) means that they have the means. All they have to do is do it.
The week prior to the housewarming is spent working in and around the construction of a couple of new rooms, subdivided up from the old floor plan. Paint, wallpaper, fresh fabric to reupholster some of the furniture, a lot of cleaning. Plus there’s the logistics of moving all their stuff, which is significantly harder without cars and on an island that’s bigger than one ship. Darcy doesn’t even have that much shit, it just all stacks up somehow.
She spends her time mostly between generally assisting the move, setting up the kitchen, and putting her room together once they’ve finished building it. Darcy can be found doing any of those three things.
It’s not going to be the shindig to end all shindigs, but once the dust has settled and everyone’s recovered from moving everything around, friends and family will get a call inviting them over. All the windows are open for the mild Summer night air, the curtains drift a little in the breeze, and the song of crickets can be heard from anywhere in the house. The lights inside the house are warm and cheery, and seem to beckon you in, the shadows around them seeming… darker, somehow.
There’s lemonade with some Phil-made ice cubes in it, and Darcy hasn’t moved from the kitchen in service of making canapes to feed anyone who shows up. Cold cuts on bread, sandwiches with cucumbers left over from the carnival, small fish cakes. It’s a good way to break the kitchen in. When the food has been made, Darcy sets up out the front on the porch, curled up with some lemonade on one of the chairs, looking out into the night and making some small greeting to anyone who approaches.

Rest your head for just five minutes, everything is done (Open)

Life used to be so hard, now everything is easy cause of you

The canapés are all good- nothing life-changing, but delicious and solid. Surprisingly filling too. This is a world where you can't do the 'get fast food on the way home after eating a dainty-ass fancy meal' trick, so a balance between them has to be struck. Walking home from the farmhouse still hungry would be a nightmare. Darcy puts the last of what they've made on the platter.
"And the fine print under the plates says if you eat in the kitchen, you help me wash up after."

Oh Darcy you may regret voluntelling him to help with the dishes. He'll certainly try his best but his track record isn't great. He grins. "You just want an excuse for me to stick around, don't you?"

With any luck he'll get the hint without further prompting and she won't have to kick his ass.

"Just making sure. You probably saw my girlfriend around- Helena, the sweet looking one out there with the cane. She's definitely not from Faerghus, though, she's American. But I don't hold it against her."
Here, a nice easy out for him to save him the embarrassment.
