B1 - SUNDAY

Okay, well, he meant to make it simple. But then he got carried away, because that's who he is as a person. So here is Neal managing two coolers, one slightly smaller than the other. He has to set one down in order to knock on the door.

The coolers themselves contain tiny servings of about a dozen different dishes, from tiny seasoned steak slices of varying doneness to little onigiri stuffed with lightly salted salmon. If it's stupidly elaborate, feel free to assume there is some dressed-down (read: locally available) version available in miniature.

The other cooler has small bottles of cheap wine and those little paper cups that barely hold a mouthful. He sets the wines with the foods that pair best.

Look this is who he is as a person, okay? At least he's dressed normally--turquoise sweater, close-cut jeans.

B1/A4/Passerby - FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY

Okay, so the tiny food was a bit much. Only God can judge him.

At least this time it's a plain old cook-out with a grill on the patio of A4. Yes, the grill items include salmon, chicken, and... tofu in several marinades including citrus-chipotle.

Only God can judge him.

There's also a spread of perfectly ordinary salad-shaped objects and tiny pickles et cetera inside on the kitchen counter.

"Oh, I think that's true of everyone, both in company housing and at Bonnie's by now. Whether that's angry about being here or batshit, that varies." Meredith offers a broad, almost-sarcastic grin of her own. "I'm Meredith, I'm in B1."

She follows Abby into the kitchen after slipping off her shoes, but the cane stays in hand.

After putting down both the containers on the counter, Abby turns to face the newcomer, offering her a small but genuine smile, leaning her lower back against the edge of the counter and giving the bottom of her oversized blue t-shirt with a big retro-looking "good vibes only" on the front a little tug to straighten it.

"You've got a point. I haven't met a lot of people yet, but the ones I have are all pretty batshit, not gonna lie. Myself included. I'm Abby, by the way. Pleased to meet you..."

She pauses expectantly, one brow slightly raised.

"Meredith Idlewild. I work in admin and media relations. It's nice to meet you, Abby."

Regardless of how batshit she is, she can at least fake it, offer polite smiles as she looks around the apartment.

"Oh, shit, are we doing full names? Abby Kim." she says, but she smiles when she says it, a warm amused smile, "You too, Meredith."

For a second, Abby follows Meredith's gaze around the apartment, wondering what she thinks of the place. Not that it matters much, it isn't as if this place feels much like home yet. Then again, nowhere has really felt like home lately.

"Admin and media relations huh? I really need to look into where I want to work...they just don't have anything close to my specialty that isn't like, janitorial. No thanks on janitorial."

"What's your specialty, then? I'm sure they'll be able to find some area your talents will be useful."

Though she's vividly aware that's capitalism talking, the expectation that all people need to be useful somehow.

"Back home I'm an architect. I thought about facilities, but fixing garbage chutes seemed like kind of a step down, you know? Someone suggested I could offer to be the building expert when we do heists of magical artifacts or whatever, but I didn't think there was a huge market for that."

She says it with a little wink and laughs, then shakes her head. She doesn't really believe in all that 'people need to be productive' BS either, but she likes to keep busy.

"I might just go into investigations for now, to keep my hands busy."
