[connor's bored, mostly. you can only go on so many lame moped trips crying about the return of the cave roof for so long before you really need a new hobby. that new hobby might even be one of the lame board games he swiped from the stores - for a lot of guilt, so he's kind of hoping they're not missing pieces (lets be honest, they probably are.)

anyways he texts some of his friends and tells them to come over because the more the merrier I guess and they could probably all use some time to chill together or something. besides then his friends can meet his other friends and that's always a fun idea.

it's easier to be surrounded by people than left alone with your thoughts, is really the long and short of it. so here we all are.]

Hey, you made it!

[ Matt's not exactly a party kind of guy but after being oddly chill for Tranquility's thing, he can do a get-together or two, especially if it's to humor a few guests in their house. I mean, it is a pretty nice house for all that the furniture and the shape doesn't feel quite right.

But yeah, it's his house, feel free to say hi. Matt won't be playing board games (for obvious reasons) but he's totally down to drink and chat and have a nice time. Truly, having people around makes for a nice distraction. ]

Glad you could make it. [ Yeah, he'll say that even if you're not immediately in his space. Make enough noise, even a blind guy knows you're there. He smirks. ] How's cave life treating you?

[outstandingbalance]

It has it's ups and downs. [Did he know it was her from the sound of her boots or the steady beating of her heart? Who knows. There's no mistaking her voice for anyone else's, though.] I could complain, but tonight I'd really rather not.

[She smiles. There may be minimal alcohol, but she seems to have found some of what there is already.]

Hey. Been a while, hm?

[devilsavocado]

[ There's not mistaking Natasha, Avenger and Black Widow. Everything from her heartbeat to her steps are uniquely hers. I mean, she's a spy. How many other spies does Matt know? (Answer: none? Probably?) ]

Yeah, could be better, could be worse. [ He shoots her a smile. ] No monsters this time, thankfully.

[outstandingbalance]

There is that—I'm shrugging, by the way. [She is. And if she feels silly narrating it, she does a good job hiding it.] The company could be a lot worse.

[devilsavocado]

That's good to hear.

[ Matt smiles. Gold star for effort, Natsha, that's a quick way to end up in Matt's good graces. ]

Company's about all we have here, besides gods and whatever they decide to throw at us.

[outstandingbalance]

Monsters and mopeds. [There's a twist in her voice as she says that. It sure is a thing, isn't it?] Not that I'd imagine you got much use out of those.

[devilsavocado]

Yeah, no. [ He chuckles a bit. ] No one wants me driving one of those around.

[ He may have all his powers but that would be Too Weird. ]

[outstandingbalance]

You can still ride passenger, though? Get your friends to chauffeur you around.

[If he hasn't then he really ought to.]

[devilsavocado]

And enjoy the sounds of the cave in slightly higher speed? Maybe.

[ He actually would Not like that. Unless... ]

Unless you're offering?

[outstandingbalance]

It's not exactly a Corvette Stringray, but it's still fun to get a little speed. Maybe.

[She echoes him wryly; sounds like he might be onto her though.]

If you're interested, I was thinking about it.

[devilsavocado]

Guess it does make it easier to get from point A to point B.

[ If you're not blind, anyway..... Something like a grin hits Matt's face. ]

I wouldn't say no.

[outstandingbalance]

Easier for some of us than others.

[You might have to accept some help, Matt Murdock. That doesn't mean it's totally unavailable.]

It's worth at least trying out.

[devilsavocado]

Right. Some of you.

[ But he's not spiteful or anything, just pointing out a fact. ]

I am a little curious. They were brought here by Tranquility, right? So they must drive smoothly at least.

[iustitiae]

Hey.

[i mean i assume matt didn't ask him those questions since he lives here so, instead, have connor walking up to you, matt]

Thanks for agreeing to have all these randos in your space.

[devilsavocado]

[ Ye I forgot to put in a wildcard prompt let's just pretend. ]

Hey, it's no problem. [ Matt waves a hand, gesturing just generally around them. ] It's nice having people around.

[iustitiae]

Yeah, breathe some new life into the place.

[they didnt do a proper housewarming but this is pretty great.]

Also we got a new plant.

[devilsavocado]

Right. Feels more like home this way.

[ Not that Matt frequented housewarming parties, but it's the kind of thing Foggy would do... ]

Oh?

[ jk Matt could totally smell the plant but he'll pretend to be surprised. ]

[iustitiae]

It's a Venus Fly Trap, so don't feel it up.

[look this is a very important warning or it would be if matt were a regular blind guy]

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt's face scrunches up a bit, pensive. Good to know, he doesn't exactly "see" those often in NYC. ]

Thanks for the warning.

[ A pause. ]

Any reason for our sudden acquisition?

[iustitiae]

It's a housewarming gift!

[obviously, matt]

From Jack. Have you met him yet?

[devilsavocado]

Guess that makes sense.

[ Matt still looks a little confused thos. He knows it's a late housewarming party, but that's?? Kind of a weird gift?? ]

I don't think so, actually. But he must be alright if he's a friend of yours.

[iustitiae]

You don't look convinced. Do people not give plants as housewarming gifts where you're from?

[didn't your mom teach you anything, matt????????

oh wait]

But, yeah, he's a fun guy.

[devilsavocado]

No, no, it's just-- [ Matt can't be trusted with living things. ] I usually forget to water them and they die, so...

[ Battling Jack Murdock never taught Matt the fine art of horticulture ok. ]

Fun, huh? [ Connor's idea of fun can mean a lot of things... Not that Matt is judging, that just seems like. A loaded statement. ] It was nice of him to bring us a gift. I bet it looks nice.

[iustitiae]

I'm going to be honest, I'm not the best judge of plant aesthetics. But I'll probably remember to water it, at least.

[devilsavocado]

I'll leave you in charge of it, then.

[ They eat flies right? Will it starve? We just don't know. ]

I guess that does sound like the kind of plant they'd have in here. They must not need much sunlight, huh?
