network; @ren ; video - bbq invitation

[forethinking]

Who: Wanda & Ren
Username: @ max & @ ren
Warnings: None!


(The video starts, and two faces come into view. Those who live in the flophouse may recognize them as the two who spend most of their time in the kitchen together, talking and sharing culinary tips as they cook the night away and offer their dishes to those who live within the same walls, and occasionally the ADI-living comrade that comes to pay a visit.

Sitting side by side, they're smiling as if they were two old friends, and Ren guides the talk.)

Hey, this is Ren and Wanda. We'd like to invite everyone to have a barbecue outdoors with us next weekend, the 11th.

(Wanda takes over next:)

We can handle the cooking and everything ourselves, but some help would be appreciated. Ingredients, perhaps? (She looks over at Ren for confirmation on this.) Or if you want to bring something extra to share.

(It’s a nice way to bid farewell to the summer weather and the increasingly colder temperature settling in Gloucester afterall, right?

Wanda points at the camera. She’s all out of inspirational speeches about coming together and whatever.)

Is this live or just a video?

(Ren waves his hand, amused, and chuckles before he can reply as he fixes his glasses to his face.)

It's a video. I'll edit later.

(Never does it.)

Anyways, we hope to see you there.

(And the video ends with smiling, excited faces.)

Oh, that would be great!

Non-alcoholic too?

[aelwyn_aberration]

Naturally. It'd be a bit of an incomplete offer if I only provided for half the crowd.

[forethinking]

What are you thinking to bring?

(Maybe he can keep her company when she goes shopping?)

[aelwyn_aberration]

A selection. I've already got a storage of alcohol in my apartment but I can stand to get some more variety for a party. And then with the non alcoholic drink, people generally just get a whole lot of soda for these things right? [It can be pretty easily inferred that your girl has never been to a barbecue.]

[forethinking]

(A storage of alcohol in one's room is not... A good... Thing though...)

If you don't mind, I can also help you make cocktails. Soda and juice for us is fine.

(He's worked at a bar, he's observed. He's also underage, but alas.)

[aelwyn_aberration]

[It's actually more for the sake of selling them than drinking them. A girl's gotta make a living.]

How fancy. :)

That's fine with me. My apartment's pretty empty nowadays, since both of my roommates disappeared into thin air (I suspect they eloped), so we can make them there?

@private

[forethinking]

Wait, really?

Did you tell ADI about that?

I'm fine with coming over.

[aelwyn_aberration]

They're aware. Looking into it, apparently. I've done some digging but found no trace of them so.

[She can lie and pretend she wasn't saddened. She didn't know Frontal all that well, but he was polite enough and Angelo might have been hostile at best to her but he also talked to her for ages that one night she was sad drinking.]

I have a feeling we'll find out eventually. Anyway. Friday work for you?

[forethinking]

This is concerning. I can help look as well.

Friday works for me.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Sure, sure. I appreciate the help.

See you then.

[forethinking]

See you.

[carmesi]

Alcohol is pretty expensive, especially coming from your own assortment. Are you sure?

[aelwyn_aberration]

Oh, it's really no problem. Though, if you're worried, you can figure out among yourselves how to pay for some of it.

I won't charge you full price, though. ;)

[carmesi]

We'll see about leftovers from people's donations.
What is your name?

[aelwyn_aberration]

Aelwyn Abernant! I don't believe we've met.

[carmesi]

We haven't. Wanda Maximoff.
Suppose I'll see you during this cookout.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Or just around. We do work at the same place, darling.

[carmesi]

[meeting people, though?? what's that?]

Probably. Don't really make an effort to go in.
