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)

Dimitri sighs. "It may sound ridiculous, but -- I always dreamed of working on a farm. I know," he says, with a twinge of defensive whine, "it's demanding and difficult labor, nothing like the idyll some nobles imagine -- but I'm no stranger to hard labor or dirty work, and I thought ... "
He stares down at his hands, cupped around his glass of lemonade. His gloves cover the scars, but there's a persistent rattle as his tremors jostle the ice against the sides.
"I just thought ... surely my strength could do some good, for once."

Ruby's face softens. "It doesn't sound ridiculous, Dimitri. It's very worthwhile. I've... found it's kind of fulfilling to make the mundane stuff at the forge, too. I do plenty of weapons, but... the tools, the cutlery, so on. Normal stuff."
Things that aren't just pieces of the never ending fight for survival.

"Oh we all have to get in on the nails. The other apprentices definitely have a running joke about them that IIII did not understand for the first... like, couple months." And still barely understands now.
