WHO: Sampo + Husk
WHERE: Sampo's wild ever-changing house.
WHEN: Early March
WHAT: We're gonna find out some shit.
WARNINGS: Life Crisis, comedy, some colorful swear words more than definitely



[ He'd invited Husk out to do this a while ago back, but what with the chaos going on in the city, everyone worrying about their friends being taken by REUINION, Sampo had reasonably pushed off the hangout with Husk until everything was said and done. Their friends home and safe--he figured this might be a good mood pick-me-up after ... everything. Something to keep his own worry off his friends who had both been stolen by the left-behind dregs of the Black Order.

Usually it's a race between himself, Mydei, Gilgamesh, and Anaxa to see who could find the most interesting rooms first thing in the morning. But today he's told his roommates to settle for the day so he could show off the insane place to his 'best buddy Husk.'

Fortunately, they were all mostly agreeable, even if they're all three insane people.
So here Sampo Stands, in the great and fancy Foyer, a pair of Sereniteapots sitting on a table in the middle--he grins at the cat-like grump, hands on his hips. ]

So that's the basics of it. Find a room that's locked, better hope we found a key. I got a few gemstones in my pockets to open gem doors, but, if we use 'em all and find more gem doors, we're screwed til we double back.

Any other questions, my fine feline friend?~

[ Husk has to admit this is the one time where the so-often foretold "curiosity of cat" could apply to him. Sampo's home sounds absolutely fucking bullshit, to put it mildly, but he does have a morbid fascination of what they might find in here. Sampo's descriptions really did make it feel like they could find anything in here.

So he's looking around the foyer, as he listens to his friend explain things. ]

Right. So sometimes gemstones just open doors, because why the fuck would we use keys here, right? This really is the perfect house for you, you weirdo.

[He shakes his head, gesturing for Sampo to start. ]

Nah, I got it, Sam. But I hold the right to say "what the shit?" at anything you drag me into here, fair warning.

No way. That's the fun part too. There ARE also key doors. But. I'm clever, I can lockpick those doors if we're really out of keys so don't worry. Rely on your good ol' pal Sampo, okay?

This house is great. After an hour you'll see exactly why I had to *beg* my roommates to leave it untouched til' you got here. We usually race to see who can find the best rooms first...

[ and, when asked, he's Absolutely going to stride forward and open the first door. There's a pause and a weird moment where three cards appear on the door.

...after a moment of consideration, Sampo chooses.

Opening the room to a large and beautiful Dining Room. There's a cloche in the middle of the well-decorated, definitely-for-rich-types table. ]

This is one of the rooms Mydei would complain about *so much* if we don't go for it.

...Wild, right? [ he's grinning, now. ]

[wiseoldbartender]

Why am I not surprised you already figured a way around the key doors, and it's being a delinquent too - typical.

[ His tone is very teasing despite that. Sampo was smart, of course he'd figure out a way to make his house as livable as possible. Find a way to turn the odds in his favour despite everything. ]

Awww, you saved it for me and everything. Fuck me, Sam, I didn't know I was getting treated that much.

[ Husk is a gambler- the Overlord of gambling, even. His main weapons are cards, so seeing them immediately makes his ears perk up. Well- this gave an extra layer of interest for him now. He peers into the Dining Room, letting out a low whistle. ]

Ain't surprised, this is fancy as shit. If he's anything like his brother, probably expects the best, even if there's only the three of you eating in here. Be embarrassing as fuck if you planned a dinner party and it didn't show up, though.

Delinquent! Me! Husk! My heart, it breaks. I'm resourceful! sometimes a guy needed to find a quick way into someone's house in the dead of night because he was being chased by--

Oh, that was you!

[ He gives Husk a wink and skips along into the room a little more, gesturing grandly. ]

They're so remarkably suited to one another as siblings, it's annoying. The only difference is, Mydei talks about 1/5th as much as Gil does. The man loves his three-word-sentences.

[ grin. ]

And of course I'm treating you. I told you, I wanted you to have fun doing this today. Why would I give you a half-already-opened house? That'd be like starting a game of poker the 5th hand in with you at half-bet.

I'm mean, not heartless.

You choose the next door. Left or keep goin' north?

[wiseoldbartender]

Some people call it resourceful, other people call it delinquency. [ He chuckles. ] Though, yeah, so be fair, you got me bang to rights on that one. Gave me a believable reason for always not being able to catch you, though. The higher ups even bought it a couple times.

[ He looks around more as they step inside. God, it really is so fancy- not really suited to Sampo, he doesn't think. Sam is more a "drinks around an old bar table with a wonky leg held steady by some folded card" kinds guy than this opulence. ]

Oh christ, I can see how that would drive you bonkers. I'd like the quiet, but I know it'd be like nails on a chalkboard for you.

Very nice metaphor, you go me good with that one. Still, appreciate the thought.

[Still, he's given a choice and he considers it. He pulls out a coin from his pocket, flips it. Heads. ]

Looks like we're goin' left.

[He steps up to the door, amused by the little cards again - he makes his choice and hey, they step into a music room. ]

Now this is a pretty nice room. S'got good acoustics. You guys ever make much use of this?
