*she goes upstairs with Hamnet and Factor first, to supervise their use of the cards so they don't drop something on their foot or anything like that*
[:]) @) *so the nightstands go here... and a lamp on this one... and the turtle pen near the bed...*


*Baldwin? Valdis? Mallory? Bayley? Gale?*

|/=@] ! |/~^] *Valdis becomes ecstatic to see the name form on the plate, feeling that it fits them nicely* It worked! 'Valdis'! |/=^]

=:D *heads out of the bathroom again to congratulate* That's a Great name!


0u0 ? *starts headed in the direction of downstairs, stopping by Hamnet & Factor's room to take a look* ^u^ Sounds like someone is really happy downstairs. 0u0 Looks like your room is coming along nicely as well.
It sure does. *sets a bookcase in Hamnet and Factor's room* We'll put your books in this. Now I should put some things in my room.
@) wanttogoseethenamething!
[:]) *heads out of the room to go downstairs again*
|/=^] *Valdis is holding their Plaqueronym, happy to share* Can you two say the letters?

=:)


0u0 can I help? I've also got a few extra endtables & flower pots.
*shouldn't take to long for everyone's rooms to be all finished up*
[:]? Um. [:]) *points* V...
@) a...
*they continue to alternate*

Sure, thank you.
*not long at all. She starts setting some things from her sylladex in her room, too. Her books on the bookshelf. Her percussion instruments in a corner. The two rocks, and the photograph, on an endtable*
|/=^] Great job! *they're proud that Hamnet & Factor seem to easily recognize letters now*

=:) Nice Letters!


0u0 *finishes with putting a flowerpot on a little table by one of the windows* there. *looks about your room* ^u^ Like home already.
[(]) () *are proud of selves*

Yeah, it is. *but she's looking at Ribbon as she says it. It will always be the people, more than the things, that make it home*
=:) *Happy, Onponn heads back into the bathroom again to help finalize*

|/=^] It'll be nice to put in my room later. But I've got some couches to place for now. |/=@] *In high spirits, Valdis goes to the livingroom to give it cushy seating for the whole family*

[!UT] *Dots opens the front door, followed shortly by Onponn's 3 kids* Which one was it? What Name?

7BD "Gotta name neow?"

( > W < ) *Jofie is happy with the idea of people who didn't have names getting names*

=[|:|o3] *is drinking some water, entering more calmly, shortly followed by Mack* ][:]

|/=@] |/=^] 'Valdis!'


0u0 Sounds like everyone's back. *takes a quick look around, confident that your room, her room, & the kids room are decently decorated* ^u^ lets join them.
Yes, let's. *heads downstairs*

[:]D @D *they're happy everyone's happy. And for the house. It's a happy day*
][(] that's a good one. ][:] *takes a seat on the newly placed couch*

( | W | ) >:Valdis; ( ^ w ^ ) >:That's a nice name;

=[|:|o3] *sip* =[|:|oD]

7B3 "ooh. Does this mean a celebration?" 7BD

|/=^] hmhmhm... No serious fanfare for me. We've all had a bit to much celebratory cake recently. We've got the lasagna ready for the house instead.

[!uT] could I have... *quietly motions for some of the furniture cards, so she can sort out her own room, & take care of the downstairs for Valdis* *Valdis & Mack are prompt to comply*

^u^ That's a good idea. We'll Celebrate with healthier foods. 0u0
Pasta's a fine way to celebrate something, anyway.
[:]) *to the other kids* What'd you go do outside?
@)
7B3 "Ranaround the lake a bit." 7B? "also I accidentally squooshed some of the castle." 7B3

( | x | ) >:Saw a bird swoop a fish up out of the water; ( | w | )

=[|:|33] LookeD AT Jofie'S BuG HutS. A ToaD MoveD IN. =[|:|3?]

|/=@] Sounds like it was fun. *agrees with Pasta being fine, giving a slight nod* |/=^] |/=@]

0u0 *takes a moment to relax her wings, sitting on the couch*

][:] *nods a quick 'Hey' as Ribbon sits* Oh, Hamnet. Factor. you two got my empty cards for me? ][(]


[!Tu] *sorting out her room is going quick* I don't have any book cases over here with me. If a case-holder could put a few in the corner here, that'd be great. [!uT] *with that, she starts headed for downstairs, to handle placing the couches, tables, game drawers & Tv*
@) froghut!
[:]? [:]o Oh! *they forgot the cards upstairs...and run off to go get them*

*she still has a few bookcases with her* Can do. *goes to set them up for Dots*
*a nice complete room. after Dots handles downstairs, only Valdis's room & the guest room will need sorting out*

=[|:|DD] YeA! *Marlow likes frogs* =[|:|33] *they would've kept talking about it, but Hamnet & Factor are headed upstairs & Marlow can't just warp after them*

][:] Thanks.

0~0 0u0 Hey Mack, did you get stuff for filling the bookshelves? Paper & pencils would be great creative outlets for the kids. ^u^

][:] well I've got a few things... But it'd probably be better if everyone makes a semi-final trip back to the Mines to get stuff like that.

|/=@] There are a few drawings still there we need to get. |/=^]

7BD ... 7B? "waitaminute..." *Nyx is starting to realize that a new house means that there'll be fewer people around the mines all the time* 7B? "yu really gunna live around here now?"

( | w | ) ? ( | x | ) >:house is for living in; >:didn't really expect anything different;

=:) *exits the bathroom, calling over to the livingroom* Pipework is done. just give it a couple hours to properly dry & ventilate.
*she returns and catches Nyx's question* Yes. It'll be kind of like before... But, with more friends.

[:]D *they find the cards on the bed where they left them, and grab them, and come hop-hop-hopping back down the stairs*
@)
][:] thanks. knew I could count on you. ][(]

7B? *Nyx doesn't really get it. he's gotten used to everyone being around... & 'Before' Before was a time of relative boredom. Onponn being out often to sell parts she spat up & to buy food & the occasional toy... Genral always busy with something... And the occasional stranger to make an acquaintance with. You were one of the only 'strangers' that happened to show up reliably often*
*all things considered, Nyx isn't to happy to see this change. He hopes his siblings make things better* 7B| "mmh."

|/=@] maybe we should head on over after we're done setting up the fundamentals?

0~0 hmm. 0u0 I don't see a problem with that.

|/=@] I'll probably stay here to start cooking Dinner.

=[|:|??] *doesn't really get how they plan to cook dinner. none of the machines here look like the kitchen machine, even if they're supposed to be able to duplicate its function* =[|:|33]

( | w | ) ? *is distracted by a bird outside, watching from the window*

=:) *loves the look of everyone in the livingroom, taking a quick picture* =8) 'click!' =X) =:D


|8| *exits the bathroom, letting out a puff of steam. their assigned task, is over. 'home complete'* ||| ... 'pffff...' |8| *barring any addendums*


[!~T] *calls up,* downstairs game room is all set up. but the door to the backroom is locked.
Sounds like a plan. *after hearing Dots, to Genral* What's in the backroom?
[:]) @) *they're too excited about all the new things to really think about how things will be different now*
7B? *thinks things. the house isn't TO far*

( | w | ) ? *pays attention. new rooms to hear about*

|8| ... rAl ||| Fi-! |8| Gen rAL geNGeN.

=:? =:) Generator, power breakers, water heater, Air conditioning, washer & dryer, internet access, a basic computer, secure storage... =:? And a bunker for safety.

=[|:|33] SoundS CooL.

][:] does he have a key?

|8| ral-Gen.

=:? =:) It's supposed to only open for the 'admin' of the house, plus whoever they might add to the list. Sophie.

|/=@] woop. we should fix that.

0~0 yea. no one should be locked out like that.

[ERR] *comes up the stairs* [!nT] [NO!] [>nT]
@? bunker?
[:]? Can we see?

*...she should be honest with herself, she isn't surprised that Genral put a bunker in the house* *but, careful what to say about it in front of the kids. Too young to be messing around near generators. Or to be accidentally locking themselves in bunkers.* Yes, it'd be good to be able to get in, if we needed it... It doesn't sound like a place for playing, though, now does it?
[!nT] No, no playing in the bunker.

0~0 well. lets take a look. I don't ever expect us to need to use it, but we should see it just in case.

|/=@] why don't some of us start headed back to the Mines. After checking the bunker, more of us will follow.

][:] sounds good to me. Alright kids. ][(] Let's go get our arts n' crafts stuff set. *Mack is ready to lead the kids on back to the Mines*

7B? "mk." 7B3

=[|:|3?] WanteD TO SeE ThE BunkeR.

( | w | ) *is kinda 'eh' about it. here or there is ok*

=:) ... =:? *is, concerned... She want to check on what Genral has added to* =:) go on & lead the way Metaldad.

|8| ||| ... |8| *complies, starting to head down the stairs*
