WHO: Sarah, Helena, & George
WHERE: Nonah Apartment Complex
WHEN: 11/14, evening
WHAT: Awkward Dinner
WARNINGS: Language, I'll update if anything else comes up



[ Sarah sends both of them a text early in the day asking them to come over for dinner, along with her new address. It's totally cliche, throwing what basically amounts to a housewarming party. Makes her feel like Alison, a bit. Still, she's never had a place of her own before—not a place that's hers, where she's not crashing on someone's couch or living with some guy. She's not paying rent, but she is working, and she has been brought to this universe against her will, so you can't really say she hasn't paid for the place.

The two bedroom flat is spartan in its decoration; just the basics as far as furniture goes, with a couch and coffee table in the living room, a small table and chairs in the kitchen, and her bed in the bigger of the two bedrooms. She doesn't have a lot of stuff to begin with, and hasn't had a chance to go shopping for anything decorative yet, but there is a small picture hanging in the hallway between the living room and the bedrooms.

She hasn't had a chance to go grocery shopping yet, so she orders most of the menu from the closest Chinese delivery place and, when it arrives, spreads the various dishes out on the kitchen table, buffet style, along with a bottle of cheap wine she brought over from #7. She figures that will be fine. It's not like Helena's picky, and George can't be either, with the fucked up hours he works.

Everything, she convinces herself, will be fine. ]

[George brings everything over, setting it out between them, and takes his seat - it's no accident that he scoots his chair in Sarah's direction just a bit.]

So, um. Helena.

[Everything's cool. Everything's normal. This is just a normal dinner with normal friends.]

What do you do?
