Oh shit, man. [Displeased face is displeased.] I got an eviction notice, and any of the apartments I'm looking at will either take a few weeks to be free or are totally out of my price range.

[He rubs his eyes blearily.] I can't afford anything, though. Barely making a living wage from both jobs

How long for?

voice;

[paterelohim]

I guess a few weeks, at the very most, and I can pay or whatever. I don't wanna exactly mooch off of people.

[isitablurred]

Well, I could put you up but I'm afraid I don't even have a sofa to sleep on. Assuming you don't get any other offers, though, there's at least a roof you can put over your head with me.

[He already knows that there are better offers, otherwise he wouldn't be offering at all. Because well, obviously. Busy man. And he really, really does only have a mattress, a pillow and a mug in his apartment.]

[paterelohim]

I appreciate it, but those other offers wound up coming.

Thanks, though. [Clark Kent Clark Kent just offered him a place to stay. And sob he really does live like a monk what even is] It's nice of you.

[painhumbles]

You could sleep under the bar. [THE MOST HELPFUL]

[paterelohim]

I'm guessing living in the break room isn't feasible? I'm cool with a bomb shelter gopher hole under the break room, too. If it's couch sized.

[painhumbles]

You know, that building looks like something rats would run screaming from when I'm not working my mojo on it, right? Couch-sized would probably hold a small Cthulhu

[paterelohim]

What, the Purgatory building? Aren't you pretty much always working your mojo on it?

The House of Awesome always has room if you need a place to crash.

...I kind of feel like it's my civic duty to at least check out any place with a name like that.

Re: voice:

[makes_asteroids]

The kids named it, not me. But we do have a couple empty apartments still.

[paterelohim]

Huh. Who all lives there?

[Hey, Griffin remembers this guy. He liked Chuck. Well, didn't hate him. Well, felt no immediate urge to beat him to a pulp.]

Your luck just keeps running out on you, don't it?

[audio]

[paterelohim]

And my ability to remember stuff. I should have started looking as soon as I got here. [But he hadn't wanted to accept the possibility of permanence. Damn it.]

[limitedrun]

[Truth is that Griffin went through the exact same scenario. The only difference had been that he had been lucky enough to make a friend in Ella who immediately decided to put him up. (That and he found out about his eviction from a hospital bed.)]

There's a lot of people around here who take in strays. Start working on your sob story.

[paterelohim]

Lying for mooching privilege is kind of lame, don't you think?

[meaculpable]

Careful, I'd hazard to guess that half of the 'Port will offer you a lodging in the coming hours.

[paterelohim]

If that's sarcasm... I don't know. I don't have a response to that.

If it's not, I, um, don't know why that'd be a bad thing? I mean, lodging is what I need right now.

[meaculpable]

It isn't. I simply wonder how many of them you can bring yourself to trust.

[paterelohim]

Oh.

Yeah.

I guess... The thing about being wanted by angels is that I don't have to be afraid of that kind of thing as much anymore.
