WHO: The residents of Maurtia Falls #004 and many friends
WHERE: MF4
WHEN: Late September
WHAT: Family Dinner: The Return. After a long hiatus, it has returned. If you are a friend of any of the residents, assume you're invited to eat!
WARNINGS: None now, will add if needed.


[ The last time there was a dinner in this house, there were different stresses, slightly different residents, and no one had died yet. Perhaps you can't blame anyone for not planning another group meal soon after that.

Since then, though, things have been...mostly quiet. Comparatively. Yes, the world is still a shitshow (in Cassandra's own opinion), but the residents of the house are back into a fairly domestic routine, and any threats to reality are ambiguous enough that one can occasionally pretend they're on the periphery rather than clearly encroaching. So friends are finally being invited to Maurtia Falls #004 again, in the hopes that performing normalcy will allow it to be retained.

Or...something like that. There's also something nice about ordering a bunch of takeout and letting other people bring over food.

For any new guests, the building is the epitome of cleanliness- Rex lives here, after all- and nondescript to the point of it being a little surreal. Plenty of alcohol in the fridge, though, and a mysterious cupboard marked "Martin's Things." Maybe don't open it. Besides that, the only other thing to call out is a goldfish in a tank in the living room.

In any case, even if the building is a little boring, the people don't seem to be that way. Then again, maybe boring's what you're here for? Better than chaotic around here. ]

You can speculate on their lives as well as I can speculate on the lives of those on other planets. Neither will get particularly accurate results. If you want to know what it is to be one that is... technologically inclined, you'd best ask them yourself. We have no droids from my galaxy present. But Danger is, certainly.

[ He may be tossing Fuu into the fire here. He knows that Danger isn't always the most genial of company. But she's not a bad person either, and would likely find Fuu's - nosiness - inquisitive nature charming in her own right. She's certainly not as dangerous to ordinary human beings as her name would suggest, or at least, she chooses not to exercise that tendency.

That, and it gets Fuu off the subject. He doesn't particularly care for her tone. ]

[...yes, Rex, she's definitely going to march right up to a robot and interrogate her about the structural inequalities in her homeworld. If anything, this conversation is has told Fuu that she can't be so blunt as she was with Ferio when she pointed out Cephiro had no ground between peace and chaos.

(Really, she was just irked that he insinuated her world is primitive. MAYBE YOUR TONE COULD BEAR WATCHING TOO IS ALL SHE IS SAYING.)]

I'll keep that in mind. [now to turn the subject] She and Martin must make an... interesting pair.

As interesting as he is with anyone else, [ Rex says with a shrug. Most don't peg him as the paternal type. And most don't peg Andy as the maternal type. Martin seems to be the outlier to every person that gets close to him. It's a knack he has. ]

Everyone likes Martin. It's no surprise that he gains odd allies, here and there.
