[splinten]

We still need to build a darkroom.

[That is still a priority to him.]

[parodeity]

What?

[ gUESS WHO COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT. ]

Uh. Assumin' we could even get our hands on the chemicals, and also that kind of camera, makeshift stuff is easy to do.

[ he actually hasn't specifically made any of the rooms into rooms for his hobbies. his turntables were always just in the bedroom. it's just kind of a Thing. ]

But I meant like what do you think apartments need to be all...domestic-y.

[splinten]

That's harder to come up with.

Neighbours who live across the hall and constantly barge in for the disaster of the week.

[ALL HE KNOWS IS SITCOM SETS. Oh. wait. MONICA!]

What about a laundry hamper?

[THAT'S A THING!]

[parodeity]

[ dave's lips barely twitch down at "neighbors" but hampers has him actually consider. ]

Sure? That is...probably better than the tried and true method of "this pile on the floor is good enough".

[splinten]

[Yeah neighbours aren't an option IT'S JUST WHAT SITCOMS HAVE.]

A closet that we only use for towels and linens.

And a bowl of random objects that are supposed to smell good.

[parodeity]

What the fuck have you been watching.

[ like

just out of curiosity here ]

This can't possibly be Gilmore Girls speakin'.

[splinten]

Monica in Friends.

[beat]

She seemed like the most put-together Friend in terms of domestic arrangements.

[parodeity]

Ok, well, Rose might be able to help you with potpourri? It's just like dried flowers and shit, isn't it.

[ don't admit to knowing that? ]

But we don't have linens. Or that many towels?

[splinten]

I don't know.

[He didn't know it was called potpurri.]

We could get linen and towels. Apparently, you're supposed to change your bed sheets twice a month.

[tv taught him that too]

[parodeity]

I usually just change them when I do laundry. I used to do yours sometimes too.

[ though he never

made the fucking beds??????????

dave will never make his bed that's just not gonna happen ]

[splinten]

I appreciated it. [It was nice?] If we had different sets it would fill in a linen closet.

[IS THE POINT. That they're LARPing normal people, or something.

Badly.]

[parodeity]

If you want to get more than four sets total made I have no real objections??

[ the idea of a linen closet is weird but. ok. sure. they can have one??? and potpourri dave guesses. he's pretty sure he could manage to make some with rose's advice. ]

Honestly I am not really sure what normal people do with free space.

[splinten]

It isn't something that I've had a preponderance of experience with either.

[Hm.]

We need a good set up for a couch and a tv together. Something equivalent at least.

Can we have bean bag chairs?

[parodeity]

Only if they're big enough it's hard to stand up from them after sittin' down.

[ THIS IS A MUST. ]

[splinten]

Any other size would be a disgrace to our household.

[he is not a barbarian]

[parodeity]

Then yeah we can have bean bag chairs.

[ this time the lip twitch is up into one of his easy smiles. ]

I think we'll draw the line at gold plated vacuums though?

[splinten]

Why don't you want us to have a dazzlingly clean apartment, bro?

[parodeity]

Too Lalondean.

[ although they also had more wizards. dave can think of a few more things he might not mind, but maybe he will bring those up like...later. ]

That was apparently an irl Lalonde thing, so.

[splinten]

[That. Is hilarious? Dirk... actually snorts a little.] Holy shit. Did Rose's Mom vacuum?

[parodeity]

Like, in the middle of the night ig? Wait shit it wasn't gold, it was uh, bronze? And also it was on a pedestal if I remember my Rose rants properly. But it still could be plugged in so sometimes her Mom would just turn it on in the middle of the night. Or just random times throughout the day?

[ HONESTLY ROSE'S MOM SOUNDED LIKE AN ECCENTRIC LADY but dave is pretty sure it was an eccentric he personally would have thrived under. ]

[splinten]

That sounds ridiculous.

[He. Kinda loves it?]

Any other requests?

[parodeity]

Her Mom always struck me as a really cool lady.

[ who really, really loved her kid. ]

Um. [ hm. ] I'll get back to you on other requests?

[splinten]

Sure.

[WAIT HE HAD A THOUGHT.]

How much tableware do you have?

[parodeity]

...Enough for me, so, uh, yeah we need more than that.

[ WHOOPS. ]

[splinten]

[That was not the point. The point was:]

We can put dumb prints on them.
