I can't believe how incredibly weird it is to be in a real place. A place that isn't The Leakey Cauldron, or some shack that could fall down at any minute. This is probably the first time in twenty years that I've had a real place that gives me that sense of... permanence. Last night was the first that I spent here, and it finally is starting to feel real. It's so quiet.

Millions of thanks, of course, go to Dedalus for directing me to his landlord and surrendering such a wonderful flat. It's much bigger than I could have imagined. I've never decorated a place before, but now I just feel like I should. For instance, I could buy a nice clock! It's taking everything in me not to blow my latest paycheck on knick knacks and whatnot.

Please come over whenever you like. I feel like it would be unfair to decide on a room until I know if you are moving in, so I've decided to switch back and forth. Dedalus extended the second bedroom, so they're close in size, but not quite the same. The dimensions are a little different, but both are very roomy. And modern. The master bedroom has a bath attached. Honestly, the rooms don't matter to me, so if you'd like your pick, have at it. Let me know when you want to stop by!

Welcome back, Dorcas.

Congratulations. Starting anew does tend to be a pleasant experience.

Do you have everything you need? As an occupant of a similarly new apartment, I am compelled to offer.

Thank you. So far it's been very pleasant. I might even have a housewarming party! I just feel so very upbeat about it.

All of the basic furniture is there, but I'm excited about shopping for new things. I'd offer to go shopping with you, but I'm not sure if that's something you'd be interested in...

An attractive idea. Housewarming parties were originally meant to repel evil spirits. ... Also an excellent way to acquire new free items.


I am in need of several odds and ends. If you would like to come along, you are most welcome.

I don't need people to give me items. I don't mind buying them. I just want to share my excitement.

I would love to. It's a date?

Ah, well. It is a win-win either way, isn't it?

It's a date. Would you like to meet somewhere?

Exactly!

Name a time and place, and I will be there.

I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon around three if that's convenient. Also, take the larger room. I don't take up much space.

Honestly, I've been living in a shack for about twenty years, and the Leaky for the last few months. Having this much space (in either room), is really kind of weird for me. You can have the larger room, if you like! It comes with a private bath!

Looking forward to actually meeting you in person!

Congratulations. And honestly, I don't see that there's too much wrong with splashing out on a few things to make the place your own.

'Home' is a curious concept. I do hope you're happy and comfortable in yours.

Thank you.

I don't think I've really had a place to call 'home' since I was 19. It's... a very new experience.

You're welcome.

[Dorcas]

Then I suppose I'm not the only one with odd experiences of what 'home' means. Don't worry if it takes you a while to feel settled in and comfortable.

I'm actually really excited, at the moment. I'm sure that will wear off. But for living in hiding for twenty years, it feels pretty good.

I'm glad you're in a solid, real place. I think we ought to celebrate, don't you? I'm terrible at baking, but I actually can do a no-bake cheesecake to christen your new place.

I would love to celebrate! I'm thinking of having some sort of housewarming party. Is it weird to throw my own housewarming party?

I have faith in your no-bake ability, Alice. On the other hand, you could always have Frank bake something and claim it as your own.

Not at all! But I can technically host it if you like! I'm great at making drinks.

This is true, though I usually give him credit. I'm rather lucky he's so amazing since I'm so inept.

If it's not a faux pas I will host. But I'd love your drink making skills! I do enough of that at work, I'd rather not have to.

Frank is such a great guy, Alice. You're so lucky.

All right, then make me your official bartender then!

I know it. I really, really am. I love him so much.

Count me jealous! I think I'm finally starting to accept that I'll never have a man like Frank or any man, apparently in my life.

Dorcas, that isn't true. I will make it my mission to help you find happiness. If that is what you want, I mean.

Alice, it's a pretty hopeless cause.
