20th roar [ video + action for Olivine ]
[ The feed opens with very little shaking or fumbling, to the sight of Leon with his hands over Minnie's eyes. The mouse queen is positively giddy with excitement, her toes curling in the white sand of the beach. Leon's wearing the aviator sunglasses Terra got him for Christmas, probably to ward off the hot, late summer sun. ]
Oh, Leon! I can't wait! Can we go yet?
All right, Minnie-just don't open your eyes before I say so.
[ And off they go, Strike following behind with the camera. The house looms up in front of them, its varnished wood glistening in the morning sunlight. Leon slowly, gently leads her up the back porch steps, her hand holding the banister tight as she climbs right off the sand. She laughs when they nearly trip over the last step, but quiets when she hears Leon's Nidoqueen opening the door. Leon leads her inside, Strike following close behind with the camera.
As Leon removes his hands, Minnie gets her first real look at the view from the back door, and squeals.
Leon chuckles as she leaps to embrace him, laughing in delight. The rest of the video is a simple guided tour: first the outside, the extensive porches on the first and second floor, then the vast kitchen, with the granite counter tops Minnie sighs over. The bedrooms are several and composed mainly of bunks, with only two queen-bed bedrooms reserved for the Queen and guests. Even the bathrooms are designed with multiple occupancy in mind: multiple shower/toilet stalls, and multiple sinks to avoid morning and evening line-ups. The camera follows, capturing Minnie's overjoyed expression with each new room she discovers. ]
Leon, this is marvelous! You've done such a wonderful job!
It wasn't just me. I had a lot of help.
Oh, oh! Do you know what this deserves?
[ At Leon's inquisitive look, Minnie rushes forward to grab the 'gear right out of Strike's paws, smiling all the way. ]
A housewarming party, of course! Right on the beach! We'll have a barbecue-and fireworks! How does this Saturday work for you?
[ At Leon's vaguely alarmed expression, Minnie laughs, and shuts off the feed. Clearly, the matter isn't up for discussion. ]
[[ OOC: Let's use our imaginations and pretend the house looks relatively the same, except nice and new and shiny and minus a hot tub, okay? DISNEY VALUES ]]
