Isle of Ikea, Tuesday

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy and Raven had a new apartment in need of decoration and furnishing and they also had a lot of things to not think about and/or work their way through, depending on how they were feeling at the time. Conveniently enough, both of those things worked with the other. Kathy had spent her sleepless hours the night before making lists, flipping through magazines for inspiration (seriously, how many Williams-Sonoma catalogues did you need Eliot?!), and doodling layouts to try to figure our furniture arrangements. Then, once it had gotten bright enough outside that it wouldn't be weird to be up and about, Kathy had put together a trip to the Isle of Ikea. Because what could be better than combining a caffeine buzz, a ridiculously generous budget, and four teenage girls?

You were welcome, Ikea employees!

"So we need pretty much everything," Kathy said, as they landed on the shores of the isle. "Two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and our bedrooms. Pretty much the sky's...the..." She trailed off, looking at the building in front of them. She'd known the whole island was devoted to the store, but she hadn't really thought about how big that store would be. "And this looks like it has everything," she added. "Okay then."

[For those invited, and I have no idea whether the Isle has squirrels or not! Also open for phone calls]

Alluka noticed the make up and, unlike Kathy, she didn't have any of her own on to make the subject a no-go zone.

But Alluka really wasn't one to pry so, aside from tilting her head thoughtfully at Ringo, she let it go. But she did notice.

"Do you think the place is?" Alluka wondered. "Or maybe all the things? There's so many things!"

"I don't know," Ringo admitted. "I mean, it's just so huge." She shook her head. "What do you imagine they've filled it with?" Like, was there even enough stuff to make a place that large feel anything but empty?

"Fun things," Alluka opined. "Otherwise, people wouldn't come here, right?"

"I don't know," Ringo giggled. "I mean, sometimes people do things that aren't fun, don't they?"
