[CLOSED] we're gonna rattle this ghost town

[restinglichface]

Who: Barry, Lucretia, Lup, & Taako
What: Lucretia arrives and Lup insists she should be allowed to stay with them. Taako has his own opinion.
Where: Tres Horny House (Sorrow's housing, 5-1)
When: Backdated to Jan 10th
Warnings: Nothing but fighting twins.

[Lup knows she should warn her brother.

It would be as simple as a call to give Taako a head's up that she was on the way back to the house, now with a certain someone in tow. Hell, even a brief text would at least be better than just stepping into the house without warning with the woman who'd taken everything from him. But she can just hear his indignant response playing out in her mind, her twin absolutely refusing to even let Lucretia inside. Honestly, she wouldn't put it past him to lock Lup out too for even suggesting their friend stay with them, temporarily or not.

But Lup's hand is still tightly clasped in Lucretia's when she leads the woman back to the building that's starting to become like a home to them, attempting to fill her in as best as she can on the whole Hadriel situation. Her phone is tucked in her back pocket, woefully untouched, but Lup nudges the front door open with her shoulder and tugs Lucretia inside with her.

There. They've crossed the boundary. There's no going back now.

Now that they're inside, Lup turns to Lucretia, motioning for her to pause.]

--Oh, uh, also, we have a dog. She may lose her shit since you're new, but just keep your hands away from her whole mouth-area and you'll probs be just fine.

[Honestly, Peanut probably isn't the member of this family Lucretia needs to be warned about.]

Ah,um--ok. Good to know.

[A dog. Lovely. That may take some getting used to, but, well, it's literally at the very bottom of her list of problems right now, so she's prepared to take it in stride. She'd been very focused on taking in what Lup's been telling her about Hadriel, and in keeping mental notes about their surroundings as they headed to the house. But now they're here and there's no level of stalling or avoidance that can get her out of this.

They're house. All of her friends, living under one roof, like old times. They find themselves in a completely new world and, still, they decide to come together. She supposes it shouldn't be surprising. But, as well as she's tried to hide it, Lucretia can see the tension on Lup's face and in her posture as they cross the threshold in to the house. This will not be easy.

Lup seems determined. She wants Lucretia to be here, and perhaps some of the others will feel the same. But not everyone. She knows that full well. Lucretia isn't convinced that she should be here herself. Something she probably should have mentioned, she realizes, as she tries to keep her posture straight and her hands still at her sides, standing in the doorway, afraid to come any further into the house. She speaks quietly, not sure who's around.]

Look, Lup. You know I appreciate your help, but I'm not certain this is a good idea.
