Who: Everyone Bring Your Own Thread
What: Housewarming Party
When: Friday Night
Where: Chloe and Finnick’s new cabin
Warnings: TBD but probably none
Status: OPEN/Incomplete

Their cabin was finished! Or at least finished enough Chloe and Finnick could move in. They were having a housewarming party the night before they usually had a bonfire. This was a milestone not just for the soon to be parents, but for the island community. Maybe soon they could build a cabin for other people. It would go faster too, now that they had experience putting one together.

Chloe was still packing up her stuff in the old shelter she shared with Finnick. Not being able to bend too easily and growing suddenly tired made moving their stuff something way outside her normal OCD tendencies. It was driving her nuts!

“Finnick?” she called out in exasperation from where she was looking in corners. “Have you seen the pillows? There’s that one that I shove between my knees when my back hurts and it’s the only one I don’t want to lose.”

Nick wouldn't ever force things on anyone. That was why he'd been on the run from Division. If they could be friendly with each other, he'd call that a win. Granted, there weren't many here he couldn't get along with.

He shrugged. "Wish we had some booze, but maybe it wouldn't be right since the lady of the house couldn't have any." He smiled down at Octavia. "But yeah. We have the bonfires, but these things are always a nice change."

"I never really understood the appeal of alcohol," Octavia admitted. "I mean, it wasn't a big thing where I'm from. And when we got to the Ground, one of the guys made this absolutely disgusting booze using the engine of the drop ship."

Her nose wrinkled just thinking about the swill Jasper made. She'd tasted it, but had immediately decided that it wasn't for her. A lot of the others seemed to love it though and given how much more idiotic they acted when they drank it, she figured that she made the right choice in avoiding it. Maybe it was different with better quality alcohol. Or with people who weren't idiots to begin with.

	"Depends on the alcohol," Nick said with a smile. "I got this keg of really awesome beer once. We had a blast with it. My bedtime prayers include a repeat of that." He was joking, of course. He didn't pray to Arva or anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The fact that they got gifts from the gods at all still fascinated her though it kind of surprised her that they would provide alcohol. "I guess it's fun for some people," she said. Octavia didn't really want to judge others for enjoying something that she didn't really understand. "What's your favorite thing about being here?" she asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's not everybody's thing," Nick said with a smile and a shrug. Not everyone drank. Kira hadn't. It messed with her Pusher abilities. Cassie had drank like a fish once she got going. "Not having to worry about anyone coming after me," he answered in all seriousness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Is that because of your telekinesis?" she asked, saying the word carefully because it felt strange in her mouth. People didn't have abilities like that in her world and she didn't really remember it being a feature in any of the books she read as a child. From what she understood, he could move things with his mind and, while she imagined it would be a useful skill to have, she could also see why it might intimidate some people.

	Nick smiled but it was tight and his eyes were hard. "Yep. There was an organization that decided everyone with powers needed to be under their thumb. I was one of the ones that got away, and they hounded me all over the world." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounded pretty unpleasant and Octavia gave him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry. It's good that you managed to get away though." And it made perfect sense why he'd be happier here than he was at home. He probably had a lot of unpleasant memories, just like she did." "I grew up on a space station," she said.

	Living on the edge, ready to run at a moment's notice. Not owning anything more permanent than the clothes on his back. Never calling any one place home. That had been Nick's life. He'd grown used to it. So much so that he couldn't imagine living any other way...until he came here. "A space station?" he asked with a blink. "Wow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Octavia nodded. "There was a war. Earth was largely decimated by nuclear weapons. A large group of survivors, who thought for nearly one hundred years that hey were the last remains of humanity, sustained their lives on space stations." It probably sounded cool to people who didn't actually live it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nick gave a snort of derision when she gave him the reality and grimaced as he crossed his arms. "Sounds like humanity is peopled by assholes no matter what alternate universe it is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Octavia & Nick floored 2016-07-18 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	As far as she was concerned, the people who started the war weren't nearly the level of asshole as someone like Pike. But this wasn't the time or place to get into details. "That's probably a pretty accurate statement," Octavia agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Time for a change of subject. Nick turned on the smile and aimed it at Octavia. "But that's not here. Your people and mine...they aren't here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Octavia smiled in return. "And that is exactly why I'm not planning to leave." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Octavia & Nick doubtthetruth 2016-07-18 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	Nick decided she had a nice smile. It was unrestrained. It suited her. "You want to get out of here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After a moment of consideration, Octavia nodded. "Yeah, okay." She definitely wasn't ready to make a baby with him or anyone else, but leaving the party for a potential hookup seemed like a good idea. [fade here?] (Reply to this) (Parent)
