[ A part of her can't believe she ever agreed to this, but Senketsu is not exactly a minor and though she doesn't buy Atlee alcohol or take her into R rated movies despite not being human, she figures some of her concerns don't necessarily apply with Senketsu.

... no, Senketsu and Atlee are not exactly comparable. Not to mention she'll be supervising if anything does go awry.

She's got a bottle of red wine in her hand when she steps onto the porch, looking for the doorbell to press. It's nothing too fancy or expensive, since she's trying to budget herself for her eventual move.

She presses the bell and waits. ]

[sanguineseams]

[When Senketsu opens the door, he's already dressed in an apron--and if the appearance is to be believed, there are already appetizers either ready to eat our about to be.]

Good evening, Karen! It's been a while since we last saw each other in person. Make yourself at home.

[He stands aside for her to enter.]

We're having another guest tonight, by the way. Mister Sanageyama wanted to invite his girlfriend.

[boobwindow]

'Evening, Senksetsu.

[ A brand new look for Senketsu, for sure. She didn't even know he could cook.

She offers a smile and steps inside once she's invited in. ]

Uzu did? [ Surprise overtakes her face for a moment. ] Satsuki...?

[sanguineseams]

[Clothes are not exempt from learning life skills. Especially when one has hands to do them with now.

Senketsu barely holds out a laugh at Karen's guess, as if there's some sort of inside joke here.]

Pff, no. Satsuki is welcome to come and go as she pleases; she doesn't need an invitation.

Her name is, ah...Kay, if I remember correctly.

/slides in here because Kiva asked me to

[yatagarasu]

[Kay has a bad case of My Friends Are Gone syndrome, which caused a slight relapse of My Dad Was Murdered in a Courtroom-itis, so she drops by Uzu's house in the hopes that he can put a smile back on her face. No crows are accompanying her, and no air of excitement and thrill, either. Normally she should be bouncing on her heels with happiness because hello, she's visiting her boyfriend and can meet said boyfriend's housemates.

Still, she manages to bake a batch of her famous double chocolate chocolate chip cookies along as a gift and a token of appreciation, knowing that Uzu could cheer her up. Also, baking was one way she could take her mind off the folks who were gone. The courthouse and law and the truth just intensified her memories of them and the fact that they're gone, even though they were much safer at home.

She rings the bell with one hand. The other is holding a rectangular container with freshly baked cookies.

Again, no crows in sight.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Well, he can try. Usually when things need lightening up, he is the one who does it - by making an idiot of himself most of the time - so of course it's a service he'll extend to new friends as well, or people he happens to be dating in weird alternate universe America.

When he opens the door, it's immediately obvious she's not in her usual spirits; he did see her like this when they met on the beach a while ago, so fortunately it's not a completely unfamiliar state for her to be in to him.]

Hey, Kay. [He stands to the side to let her in.] How've you been holding up?

[yatagarasu]

[She steps inside, looking around at the inside of the house before managing a weak smile for Sanageyama.]

Hey. Well...a lot of people have gone home lately. [That's certainly a big clue.]

also a top level comment for Inumuta - ota

[ironbuttmonkey]

[It might almost seem like they have a third visitor for a moment, one who doesn't bother knocking and just opens the front door to walk in, but it's revealed to be Sanageyama; except he isn't alone! He's carrying Inumuta over his shoulder with him, and because the guy was going out of his way to escape this social gathering in particular, Sanageyama decides to draw as much attention to him as he can.]

Look who I found outside!

[And he'll just dump Inumuta onto the floor.]

Good timing. You can join us all for dinner.

[sanguineseams]

Um.

[look what they monkey dragged in...]

Weren't you in your bedroom just a few minutes ago, mister Inumuta?

[WHAT IS GOING ON]

[databoner]

[Yes, he was. And now, he's on the floor.]

I had to run out for a bit, but it seems Sanageyama is determined in having me here for this.

[That sure is some version of what happened.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

He was, wasn't he? Yet he didn't even pass through here to get outside.

I wonder how he did that.

[Oh, he knows. He knows.]

[databoner]

[And onto the floor he goes!!]

Uzu...

[You asshole.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[He crouches down beside Inumuta, arms folded across his legs and chin resting on his arms.

And he's got that shit eating grin...]

Lucky I heard you, huh?

["""Lucky""".]

[boobwindow]

[ Karen is somewhat surprised at first, having not expected the entire crew to live in one house, but it makes sense in all honesty.

She watches Inumuta hit the floor, putting a hand on her hip. ]

Hello, Houka.

[databoner]

[This.

This is literally what he was attempting to avoid. He wants nothing more than to sink into the collar of his jacket when Karen approaches him, but he manages to at least pull himself to his feet.]

... Hi.

[ironbuttmonkey]

Karen!

[Giving her a wave as he approaches.]

Sorry about Inumuta; he climbs out of the house through his window to run off sometimes.

[And he'd really rather the guy make an effort with Karen, since she's on her way to becoming a family friend at this rate.]

[yatagarasu]

[Kay looks down at Inumuta dumped unceremoniously onto the floor. Despite her initially melancholy mood, this is quite...amusing and actually helps cheer her up.]

Nice of you to drop in. Aren't you glad you took the Uzu Sanageyama Express?

[databoner]

No, actually. Extremely poor customer service, and rough handling. Zero out of five stars.

[He takes to picking dirt off his jacket and pants as he speaks.]

Hello, Kay.

[disrobes]

Houka...

[Satsuki's look of disapproval is mild, but still disapproving, and it almost radiates from her in waves-

-or it could be that she's actually glowing faintly red-tinged.]

Is such behavior really necessary?

[databoner]

He's the one who picked me up!

[Normally, Houka's calm. He would have simply apologized.

Today is not that day.]

[disrobes]

[Satsuki arrives too late to help cook due to a bit of extra work on her part, and she brings work with her in the form of contracts stuffed into her purse. She doesn't bother with knocking- why would she?- just lets herself in, tucking some of her hair away from her face on one side and shaking it off her shoulder on the other.]

I would have been here sooner, but there were matters that needed attending to at work.

[She pauses to set her purse down before peeking into the living room.]

Have I missed anything?

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Yo, boss-lady.]

You're fine. We haven't started eating yet...though I do think you're the last one to arrive.

[He turns away briefly, looking at everyone else mingling, then looks back to her.]

Did anyone tell you we're having guests?

[disrobes]

[Hello dear minion.]

Guests?

[Her expression says well enough that she wasn't aware, a slight pursing of her lips in thought following.]

Perhaps I should not impose...

[yatagarasu]

[Kay thinks the best way to introduce herself to everyone is by offering a homemade chocolate chocolate chip cookie. And yes, they're chocolate cookies with chocolate chips.

So this is her, passing a plate where she has placed some cookies over to Satsuki. And smiling. Satsuki's general demeanor makes her rein in the excitement, though.]

Hi. I'm Kay Faraday. I kinda...dropped in, so I thought it'd be polite to bring something along.

[disrobes]

Ah- yes. Sanageyama did mention...

[When she initially got there, of course, and out of politeness, she takes a cookie, but doesn't bite yet. Instead she bows politely, her lips curving into a very faint smile-- she isn't entirely unaware of how imposing her stare can be without one, after all.]

Satsuki Kiryuin. It's nice to see Sanageyama is making friends, among other things, outside of our usual group.
