[OPEN] fastforwarded to december 1. open house!!

[overstrain]

[ On December 1st, Hirajiro's residential district goes through a minor change, which is having Terry's two-story house appear right next to the Black Cat house. With Orien's help, Terry bought the land that the house sits on. Anyway, the house has two floors. The entire first floor has a living room, kitchen, and a bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower. When you climb up the stairs, you'll reach the second floor, which has four bedrooms with a bathroom connecting two bedrooms together. The bathrooms can be locked from the inside only. There is no master bedroom nor bathroom in this house. One of the rooms are soundproof, but Terry is not telling anyone which one it is. You'll have to find that out for yourself. AC and heater are fully functional.

Terry sent out a message to all the Guests. For those who don't have phones, Orien personally delivered the message to those people himself. The message is as follows:

We solved the housing situation. Terry will not ask anyone to pay rent, but the house isn't furnished at all except for a refrigerator and a fireplace. You'll have to buy supplies and furniture on your own. There are several conditions you need to accept if you choose to live here:

1) Please do not destroy the house or cause property damage. If you do, you're paying for the damages.
2) Clean up after yourselves. A clean house means no bugs and good standard of living.
3) Do not steal/take anything from the Black Cat house. (this needs to be mentioned because he had several door stealing incidents)

The address/general directions to the location has been mentioned, which is basically next door to the Black Cat house.

Feel free to make your own top levels and stuff. ]

Yeah. Needless to say, a lot's happened since I saw everyone.

[But she??? Seems to be in a good mood???]

What's the date?

[infiltrationtools]

December first, 2019.

[Hold on, let him guess.]

Were you last here November thirtieth?

[toybombs]

[She doesn't remember any exact dates, because she's had a lot more on her mind since, but she does know there wasn't much time left in the year, so-]

I think so... Then, no time passed for me here after all?

[infiltrationtools]

If it's anything like what happened to Red? You went to bed, woke up back at home, and then woke up here again two years later.

Your body should have changed more than a hairstyle, though...

[toybombs]

[...!]

I grew!

[This sounds like a lie.]

[infiltrationtools]

...I don't... think you did.

[toybombs]

At least two centimeters!

[She's standing on her tip-toes to emphasize this. Lying intensifies.]

[infiltrationtools]

...Sorry, I guess I missed it from up here...

[He bends down, so that his face is level with hers.]

...Yeah, I don't see it.

[toybombs]

[Aaaaaaa!!]

I really did! I'm still growing!!

[infiltrationtools]

Oh, you're still growing?

[Wow, he's learning so much today.]

So how old are you right now? Sixteen?

1/2

[toybombs]

[!!]

[!!!]

[!!!!!!]

[toybombs]

[UGH!!]

...Nineteen.

[Now she's just pouting.]

[infiltrationtools]

But if you're nineteen, you should be at your full adult height, shouldn't you?

[toybombs]

There's still a chance I could grow!

[SHE HAS TO HAVE FAITH...]

[infiltrationtools]

Heheh, of course.

[So even the indomitable Rio has a weakness, and it is her height.]

Well, keep drinking your milk and you might.

[toybombs]

[That and thunder. Sure would suck if there were some serious thunder during a fight.]

I feel like I'm being patronized!

[infiltrationtools]

[I sure hope no Shadows bring in thunder and lightning as part of their dungeon modifications.]

Stop talking like a middle-schooler and maybe you won't be!

[He's just trolling her. Probably.]

[toybombs]

[That really would suck!! Who would be cruel enough to do such a thing.]

...I'm way more mature than most of the people here.

[Is this really worth bringing up when the bar is so low, though.]

[infiltrationtools]

...That's true.

[Akira can't, and more importantly won't, deny it.]

But when you say you're still growing at age nineteen... you sound like a kid, you know?

[toybombs]

It's important to have faith in the future!

If you can't have hope, it's impossible to keep moving forward.

[.........Hope in growing taller at nineteen. Yeah.]
