[open] The ache for home...

WHO: Haen + OPEN
WHERE: Haen's individual housing in Maurtia Falls
WHEN: Backdated to the beginning of November
WHAT: After announcing her move, Haen is having a house-warming party, because that's apparently what people do. Anyone she's spoken to about her new address is welcome to drop by, or have heard about it secondhand (or really anyone at all because whoo free food or something)
WARNINGS: N/A


A. GETTING READY & PRE-PARTY
Although Haen had set the party to start around 6PM, she spent most of that afternoon getting things ready, and the door was open to those who wanted to arrive ahead of schedule, and she's certainly not about to tell them no if they offer to help with things. There's not a ton to be done, because the house hasn't really had time to become disorderly yet. The most likely thing she'll ask is where they think she'd find certain things she's looking for. "Now if I was a corkscrew, where would I live..."

B. MINGLING
Each visitor is greeted in Haen's usual, effusively talkative manner and welcomed inside. She's wearing a charming little dress, unconsciously mirroring the neutrals and warm tones of the house's decor. During the party, she flits around like a hummingbird, all smiles and random tangents. She's obviously trying to be a good hostess, even if this is outside the scope where her talents usually fall.

C. FOOD & DRINK
Haen wisely deferred the food plans to outside sources, and a local catering company has come and gone, setting up a small but varied selection of snacks and bites. As creative as the redhead is with genetics, that proclivity doesn't extend to food, and she'd prefer not to accidentally serve her guests something off. There's also liquor and wine bottles in the kitchen sourced from the house's cellar, which apparently was left just as furnished as the rest of the house, and anyone's encouraged to mix and match.

D. TAKE A TOUR
She'll be happy to show anyone around who wishes to see the extent of the house, and gush on about the realtor who procured the place, furnished and all, and of course, about Petyr Baelish's recommendation to move to Maurtia Falls. In fact any time Baelish comes up at all, she'll be pretty approving of him. The house has two floors, plus a partial basement, and Haen's leads you through it like she's still seeing it for the first time.

E. TO ALL A GOODNIGHT
When the party winds down and as the guests are leaving, expect Haen to see you off with a hug or a kiss on the cheek (escapable if you're quick enough) and a warm thanks for coming for the visit. She'll assure them that they're welcome back any time, and bid them a safe goodnight.

Look, Dorian has no idea what to give Haen for her housewarming party. But when in doubt, alcohol's a great idea, so he's got a particularly good merlot vintage as a gift because Dorian's a snob. Of course, the problem now is finding Haen so he can give her said alcohol. He spends a fair amount of time mingling, just making idle small talk and idle chatter with whoever comes his way. Dorian's a bit of a social butterfly, after all.

Once he spots Haen, he heads over to her as well, in a method that's seemingly effortless.

"The place is lovely, by the way. You've out done yourself!"

"Indeed it is! I figured the easiest thing to give you would be a bottle of wine. You'll get more use out of this than any sort of knick-knack I could have given you!"

Because it's wine. And everybody gets drunk. That's Dorian's rationale here, work with him Haen.

"Geneshift does nothing for the taste." As he talks, Dorian gives Haen a grin, tapping the bottle as he talks. "This vintage is particularly good. Make sure to savor it when you inevitably crack it open--swish it around your mouth a little bit."

"I'm sure a lovely lady like yourself has a beau in mind already." Because Haen's smart, beautiful, and good company to boot: she totally has a boyfriend or a potential boyfriend in mind.

And, based on the 'tell me more' expression Dorian's giving her, he is a hundred percent up for gossip.

I wouldn't mind a tour at all.

[It was an easy invitation to accept; Chilton was already fascinated with Haen as an individual, and he thought perhaps that observing her living quarters would inspire more insight into her personality. That bright, bubbly veneer had to pop at some point, right?

Right?

Wine glass in hand, he offered her a smile.

no worries!

Live specimens? Or...?

[He left it an open invitation for a reason. And while most might have colored the query with sanctimonious horror, Chilton took a roguish smirk to his face. He was joking. Mostly.]

Really, Haen, this is quite a beautiful place.
slightlyoffchilt: (Prosody.)

Consent is a priority.

[He said this with the air of a question, even if it was frankly spoken as an agreeable statement. Consent with patients, it turned out, was something Chilton only prized if the work done was on the books.

Otherwise, innovation took priority.

Ah, a sanctuary of sorts? That is deeply kind of you, Haen. I have little doubt your friends appreciate your thoughtfulness.
