Characters: Effie Mercer (neverceasing) & Carina Castro (beautifulsea) Date/Time: Sunday 8th July, early afternoon Location: 196 Queen Street Rating: PG-ish Warnings: none?! Summary: Cai welcomes her friend in the new house, gets a present and inappropriate details of Elizabeth's stay in Canada.
Ever since she moved to Montenegro, Carina didn't experience a single dull moment. This was mainly due Elizabeth Mercer, a very close friend of hers for quite a while now. They met right after both started their studies at the university and were soon only rarely seen without each other, and that despite their fairly obvious differences. They had considered becoming roommates for a while, so when they stumbled about that one house in Queen Street, everything was perfect! Or rather, as perfect as it can get when one of the two decided that shorty-before-the-move was the perfect time for a vacation. Cai wasn’t all too happy about the fact that she had to move on her own, but it all went well to her surprise.
When she saw Effie’s post in the network earlier, she wanted to give her a lecture about how stressful moving without her was- just for Effie to notice that she couldn’t vanish just like that in the future- but her friend made the clever move of mentioning a certain present and with that all of Cai’s irritation was gone. Because both of the girls were slightly busy before, they agreed on meeting at the house in the early afternoon, so that Elizabeth could really see it for the first time.
While she waited for her friend to come, Carina decided to re-decorate her room a little. Although it was just furnished, she didn’t like it as much as she liked her old room in the dorms. The only advantage here was a rather big fish tank in one corner of the room, still without any fish in it. Cai made a mental note of buying appropriate fish for her tank some time soon, when she heard the door bell ring. Clearly, this must be Effie, since she had no keys to the house, Cai thought when she went downstairs to open the door.
