[soulping]

The inside of your home looks like someone looked too hard at a Steampunk advertisement -- brass and dark wood greets you, with dark colored couches and chairs and a deep mahogany bookcase with lots of sci-fi novels filling one wall. The doors in this house seem to be hidden, not like normal doors: the one to the kitchen blends in almost seamlessly with the wall on the far side from the front door, and can be opened by pressing on it so it slides back. The kitchen itself looks like the picture, with a large table and several large windows as well. The appliances all look like they come from a time past 2014 -- some of them have new functions (“infrared toasting! laser gas system!”) and all of them are chrome or bronze.

The basement is accessed through a series of stairs hidden behind the bookcase. Below there are beds for everyone in the conjoined team, and the lighting is dim even when at full intensity: perfect for cat naps. Partitions stand between each bed, and can be moved wherever you’d like. In the back, two doors lead to rather steampunk bathrooms -- there is also one off of the kitchen.

Your house has no back yard, and instead has a rather spacious front yard -- it sits back from the street with a long drive and tall trees perfect for climbing.

STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[soulping]

- It is currently afternoon in Jo’s realm, and you feel as if it is around 2pm.
- All of your cabinets are bare of food, as is the refrigerator. No food can be found anywhere in the house.
- If you get to know a member of your new team that you didn’t know before, small snacks will appear on the dining room table for you to munch on! However you never seem to feel completely full off of them, like you’re just snacking before dinner to come.
- You get the feeling that Jo is watching you and if you have any questions, you can simply ask her.

[Draping on, head on her shoulder.]

Gotta earn food, huh?

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[naturen]

N-None... [ no food means no being able to do the one thing she's good at! ] That's... D-Do we have to go hunting?

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[cosmetician]

If we do, I'm sure Jo has a plan for it. Let's just say she wouldn't let us starve.

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[dirtydoll]

Hunting for what, exactly? [i mean. we're in the heart of suburbia.] Squirrels and pigeons?

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[killerfields]

Probably not. Jo's not the type to make us go kill shit.

[He sounds 900% sure of this, too.]

Chances are, we gotta earn it somehow. Or maybe go shopping.

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Probs gotta play. Jo wouldn't make it too hard for food.

....ya know, I dunno how much she knows bout hunting.

[secretofthefox]

[...well Sol may or may not be zooming over to the kitchen to play with examine the futuristic appliances and may or may not be focusing on any that produce fire...

but perhaps more obvious is the fox who is running around the house excitedly]

I can play, I can play!

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[dirtydoll]

[oh no

oh nooo

THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN THE HOUSE.

I must play with it.

w-watching the fox from a distance for a minute before s...lowly...approaching...]

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[naturen]

Heh? There's a fox here, too? Is that what we have to hunt?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Wait.]

Ya can talk?!

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[dirtydoll]

[oh this is. kind of nice? dark colors and dim lighting...the steampunk aspect is sort of weird but sure, she can work with this. not concerned with lack of food for now so she'll just be wandering around, looking at everything and testing the couches and such.

also peering around the bookcase at the hidden staircase because, really...

ALSO ALSO. IS SORT OF. AVOIDING ANY RATATOSKR MEMBERS. not like blatantly ignoring, but definitely just casually skirting around them...wonder what that's about...]

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[killerfields]

[but what if a rat grabs her by the shoulder?]

And what're you up to?

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

FADE!

[You just got draped on.]

Gurl, been WAY too long.

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[cosmetician]

[hey nerd]

Something wrong?

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[killerfields]

[Wandering around, looking at things curiously...]

... The hell kinda time period is this supposed to be?

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Loooks steampunk mixed with future.

And ninja.

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[JO WHY WOULD YOU HAVE NO FOOD.]

[M-may be looking through the cabinets and there is some Serious Concern for several moments before she just...stops.]

[This is Jo, JO KNOWS BETTER, OMG.]

[Just rubbing at face, GET YOUR FOOD THING UNDER CONTROL LALONDE.]

Re: STATE OF THE HOUSE: DAY 1

[lizardwizard]

[running their claws lightly over a wall to look for any more sneaky doors. thankfully not scratching anything]

Cool...

DINNER TIME

[soulping]

[ As dinner time nears, Jo’s voice can be heard almost like an announcement system throughout your house, though she is not physically present. ]

So...you’ve probably figured out that there’s no food in your home, right? I hope so! Food’s so important, I thought maybe it would make a good bonding exercise! So you all need to get in your cars and drive to the supermarket and get food for the rest of your time here, okay?

And then make a meal together! That’s a whole lot of fun!

[ When you exit your house you’ll find that an SUV/minivan of your choosing, large enough miraculously to hold your entire team, is waiting for you. Hope you all know how to drive! ]

[ A supermarket post for threading out “god what do we buy”! Dinner/making dinner can be threaded out under this or in this post in general. ]

Re: DINNER TIME

[killerfields]

... Drive.

Can any of you guys drive?

[ We're going for a drive again! ]
