[video] oh but dear the sky is falling

[familyissues]

[ Well hello! The name on the network says Desmond, but...is it really? She's got the same eyes, the same dopey mouth scar... These curses, man. Let's see how that works out. Judging from the backdrop, she's hanging around A Needle in a Haystack as is her wont, sipping a glass of jallab and looking to be in a questioning mood. ]

Okaaaaay, so. Since this is effectively both the Agony Aunt and Craigslist Asgardia, I figured it'd be relevant to ask here.

I'm looking to move from my welcome house digs, and I'd like some district recommendations. Not that Sigyn isn't the best district, because it is- [ she huffs on her fingernails, pretending to buff them on her tee like an asshole, because what's a little juvenile, friendly rivalry? ] -but I'd like something a little more my own. I'm not looking for anything upscale and pricey, just inexpensive, cost-effective, hopefully free of hipsters and spiders and shady types.

Anyone willing to lend a girl a hand?

Action BECAUSE

[Alastair walks into the room, looking at a ledger.]

Hey Desmond, have you seen that box of medicinal herbs that's listed on here? I've looked in the back but...

[And this is when he looks up and just. Stops.

And drops the ledger.]

oh shit son

[familyissues]

Hm?

[ Dee pushes herself away from the counter, taking her glass with her, and stoops to pick up the ledger.

Which, well, nothing left but to swat him in the hip with it, eh? ]

Dropped this. And I...dunno, check the kitchen? I'll look around in here, see if it wound up somewhere it shouldn't.

[secondborn]

[Wow no sorry he's still staring but the swat makes him flinch and snap out of it a bit.]

...you're... um.

[Hell how is he supposed to put this. He searches for words, his open hands making small, mildly frantic gestures.]

Different. Today.

[familyissues]

[ Here, buddy, hold her drink while she flips through the ledger. Oh, okay, he's looking for that. No problem. ]

Oh?

[ A self-aware sort of once-over happens then. She's. Tucked her bob behind her ears? ]

That's. Sweet of you to notice?

Freyr's a good district, too. [She has to defend her house!!]

How many people are living with you?

[familyissues]

[ Okay okay, have a little grin. ]

I'll have to trust you on that.

And it's just me, maybe room for one or two others.

[airborn]

You can try Hel's district. They have houses for around four people.

[She remembers that from the time the Panem kids were moving around.]

[familyissues]

Huh. I could give it a look-see. Might be a little too big, though. I had an apartment in Brooklyn before I came to Asgard, that's more of what I'm looking for.

[unpuzzling]

Fascinating. Do you truly believe yourself to have been born female?

[These curses. They amaze Sherlock.]

[familyissues]

[ Hold on, because how do you answer a question like that? ]



...Sherlock. Do you run these questions through your head before you ask them?

video.

[unpuzzling]

To me, it is simply a yes or no question, or are you unfamiliar with gender politics?

[familyissues]

[ /glare. You sound like some of her old neighbors in Brooklyn, bro. ]

Then. Yes. W h y are you asking? More research?

[hisstrength]

If it's just you, you could try Baldr. Nice-looking places for one or two people.

[And she smirks.]

But Sigyn is definitely the best district.

[familyissues]

You're damn right.

Baldr, huh? I'll look into it, thanks!

[hisstrength]

The other option would be Loki, but I'm not all sure it's completely free of spiders and everything.

[samantha_grey]

Loki's my personal favorite. Cheap housing, not expensive enough that it's hard for just one person to live there.

...

Huh, have we met yet? I didnt think new people were arriving just yet.

[familyissues]

...real cute, Sam.

Re: Video

[samantha_grey]

... no, seriously. I don't think I've ... who is this? [She had a suspicious eyebrow raised, staring at Desmond in irritation and confusion.]

[Video]

[tonsofpun]

... uh. Did you take Desmond's bracelet-?

[Because she will probably smack you up, lady.]

[Video]

[familyissues]

[ Okay wow guys this is not cool. Sorry kiddo, she's a little flat with this delivery, ]

This is my bracelet, Ellie.

[Video]

[tonsofpun]

Oh, fuck me. You-

Oh, shit, are you kidding? You're kidding me, right?

[video]

[theredviper]

Such low standards.

[Oberyn mostly accepts the lap of luxury.]

[video]

[familyissues]

[ No one asked the newbie, Oberyn. ]

A liveable space without pests in a low-crime area is "low"? Right. Okay.

[video]

[theredviper]

A fair request, but that's all it shall remain. You ask for too much.

What on earth is a "hipster" and why do you dislike them so?
