[The video feed opens on an empty-ish room. While the room is empty, it does have an absolutely gorgeous view of the waters off Eltrut through the glorious bay windows.]

Isn't that lovely? It'll make a wonderful reading nook, I think.

[Kaveh will turn the camera back to himself, with a bright smile.] This place will need some work, but when I saw that view, I thought it'd be worth it. Obviously, we're still getting stuff put together, so it's not really good for guests yet, but once we have things ready and some chairs that don't wobble, it'd be nice to celebrate with a little get-together, what do you all think?

[...For reasons that shall remain Alhaitham, in the back of the shot, on one of the counters, is a...statue? of what might be an attempt at a fish? It will stare into your soul. Don't worry about it.]

Comments

action; idk is the video still playing if so enjoy

[indispensable]

[And here is Alhaitham adjusting his very first contribution to this place that Kaveh has gotten. He'd been lucky that the statue(?) had still been on sale considering the delay that came with getting the payment for his bounty...

Anyway, he's taking a step back now to admire his handiwork. It'll probably still need some work when Kaveh gets around to actually> decorating? this place? But for now it will be here. Perhaps. Maybe.

...maybe he should shift it just a little to the left.]

action; he remembered to turn it off...this time....for now...

[empyrean_mirror]

...Unbelievable. You spent actual money on that?

[Of course, Kaveh intends to decorate, but it'll take time and funds and some work. For now, the basic bed and table will have to do, and Kaveh already has Plans for this place and it's rooms.]

action; everyone's eyes and ears are safe... for now...

[indispensable]

Are you not the one who keeps telling me to appreciate the value of art?

[Hmmm. Maybe he'll nudge it a little to the right instead. Perhaps rotate it a bit? An angle might be preferred here.]

action; not their eyes they already saw the fish.

[empyrean_mirror]

We need to have a serious conversation about your sense of aesthetics. I'm not going to say ugly art isn't art, but home decorations are meant to feel comforting.

[Why are you like this. Your grandmother was a kshahrewar legend. how is your taste like this.]

action; the fish is fantastic wdym

[indispensable]

They are comforting.

[Just says it like its all perfectly normal and that perhaps Kaveh is the one who is having what people call a 'skill issue'.

Also don't bring his grandmother into this? She raised him perfectly fine thank you very much. Look at him being a perfectly well-adjusted and highly valued member of society.]

action; alhaitham it stares into your soul

[empyrean_mirror]

...How.

[WHY. ARE. YOU. LIKE. THIS.]

action; and?

[indispensable]

[Just lifts one shoulder in a careless shrug, and then reaches over to fiddle with the statue(?)'s position some more. Maybe just the tiniest bit more to the left now...]

action; why are you like this

[empyrean_mirror]

Why are you the way that you are?

[He has been trying to find the answer to this question for years.] Two centimeters to the left and rotate it sixteen degrees or better yet, 180 degrees so it stops looking at me.

video;

[fullgauntlet]

That's a beautiful view, Kaveh-san. Is this where you're staying?

I've been collecting a lot of books recently too. Maybe I should think about making my own reading nook.

video;

[empyrean_mirror]

We were starting to run out of space for books in the starter apartments...and I hadn't really used much of my wages for anything.

[He laughs, though, clearly feeling cheerful.]

You can never go wrong with a good, sunny reading nook, in my opinion.

[fullgauntlet]

I can understand how that feels. I think my classmates are already a little annoyed that I leave my books around sometimes.

[Sometimes- try always. Izuku just gets so hyperfocused and leaves piles of books EVERYWHERE.]

Maybe I could try and make an addition to the cottage we just moved to.

[empyrean_mirror]

Well, it's not the best if you're leaving them in shared spaces.

[DON'T BE LIKE ALHAITHAM, IZUKU MIDORIYA.]

If you need ideas, I'd be more than happy to take a look and help, of course.

[fullgauntlet]

I'm trying to be better at that.

[He laughs softly. And then!]

I would love the help, though! I don't know the first thing about renovations. But it can't be that hard, ne?

[empyrean_mirror]

As long as you're trying, that's progress.

[There is a long pause as Kaveh tries to keep his eye from twitching.]

...Please let me help you, Izuku.

[fullgauntlet]

[Oh. Here he thought he could just smack a wall down and build a couple of extra walls no problem!]

Ah- Alright! I'll be happy to get some help with it. It should make things a little easier.

[empyrean_mirror]

[YOU ARE KILLING HIM HERE. HE IS DYING.]

I should hope so, or my entire career has been for nothing.

here? not here? you decide.

[indispensable]

[There is perhaps the faintest of snorts in the background here. Maybe.]

[afflatusexarch]

While I would like to congratulate you on your new home...

What is that?

[ That statue thing! ]

video

[empyrean_mirror]

An abomination against good taste.

[Raha he's so fucking tired.]

[afflatusexarch]

Then why not get rid of it?

[empyrean_mirror]

I was not the one who bought it, and I'm not dealing with how much that man is going to sulk if I throw it out.

And he'd only buy more, anyway.

[Besides, throwing out things other people pay for is mean...]

[afflatusexarch]

...Who would only buy more?

[empyrean_mirror]

Alhaitham.

[NEMESIS AND BANE OF HIS EXISTENCE.]

1/2

[afflatusexarch]

Who?

[afflatusexarch]

Oh! The roommate!
