Housewarming Party! Apartment Above Luke's, Friday Afternoon Till Evening

[spin_kick_snap]

Raven and Kathy were officially moved in!

Okay, not everything was done and most of their stuff was still at Eliot's, but they'd gotten a lot of work done painting and assembling furniture and most of what was left could be moved over a bit at a time. Which meant...it was close enough to being fully moved in that a small party was warranted. Especially if you were looking for a way to show you were nice, sane and adjusted a reason to party!

The party proper started at 6pm with plenty of delicious foods to enjoy, but people were more than welcome to come over early and help with the remaining wall painting and furniture assembling there was to do. Help was appreciated, but mostly people were invited to over to eat, relax, and help make this new place feel like a real home.

[If you think you got an invite, you did! Up early for mega SP]

"Well, I got distracted by this," Ringo pointed out, picking up the piece of paper she'd set down next to her. "I think the box was for a, um, chair?" She scowled at the label. "Is that the Swedish word for 'chair'?"

"It's named for a Swedish city. Or . . . a lake? The different furniture types have different themes." Raven shrugged. "I think the goal is to make sure no one knows how to pronounce them."

"Oh." Ringo let out a little sigh of relief. "I was worried that it was just me."

Re: Pre-Party

"Definitely not," Raven assured her. "I think you need to be super Swedish to know how to say any of this stuff right."

Re: Pre-Party

"Are you super-Swedish that you know all this?" Ringo teased. "Or was it all in those blogs you found?"

Re: Pre-Party

"It's more of a general . . . sense I got," Raven said. "From the blogs. And listening to the other shoppers in the store."

That got a nod. "It was definitely an interesting trip, but I sort of hope I don't have to go back for, you know, a while."

Re: Pre-Party

[tigerundercover]

"Pretty sure that won't be a problem." She and Kathy had already bought half the store after all. "Unless there's some new furniture you're just dying to have for your room. . . ."

Ringo shook her head way too quickly. "No thanks!" She chuckled. "I think I'll stick with what I've got."

She grinned over at Raven. "I'm glad you both manage to find all the stuff you were looking for, though." And not just because she didn't want to make another trip to Ikea.
