>>18898401The kitchen is soon bustling with a tea kettle on and the sound of frying meat and chopping vegetables for tacos. SHEE6, Valari, Lollypop, Candy, and the still not-really-conscious and senseless Raquel Durango are in the spacious living room of the home, a clean and well-kept place full of comfy armchairs and homey furniture. A fire is roaring in the fireplace, the house is warm, and SHEE6 turns to her friends and takes a deep breath.
SHEE6:
>"Mine mother is kind, but doubtless our sudden appearance is quite the shock to her. Do not fear; you will not find her judgment harsh. I'm certain she is merely curious, for I do not often bring guests into our dwelling apart from priorly-arranged 'play-dates.' But please avail yourselves of our hospitality; you are mine honored guests and I would ask no less."The Bubblegum Crisis exchange a glance.
BGC:
Nice place you've got here.
>So warm and so comfy!But we're a bit overdressed--
>--or maybe underdressed?These clothes were fine for dancing--
>--not so much lounging, or sleeping!Valari:
>"I, um..... would also be better served, not to wear your mother's evening gown any longer. I think it's upset her."SHEE6 looks at the stairs at the hall at the end of the living room.
>"Mine room is the first one on the left. Should you desire to change from your reveling clothes into something more cozy for the evening, I grant you permission to avail yourself of mine full stock of pajamas, nightgowns, sweatshirts, and flannels. We shall get warm, victualled, and revitalized, and then consider the evening at this late hour."
