Being Neighborly
Who: Victor and Vanessa
What: Victor comes to visit Vanessa - their first face to face.
Where: Starting in the hallway outside of 205
When: A little after 8pm.
Warnings: TBA
Notes: So... my first log post. If I do something wrong... please feel free to correct me!

Victor casually buttoned the lowest and middle button of his smooth chocolate colored jacket, leaving the third undone. The relative temperature of the building seemed to be quite pleasant so far, enough that he didn't necessarily need a jacket, but... He liked it. And this was a first impression, after all. So, nice jacket, crisp button down and casual slacks it was. And his boots, which were a touch more worn and beaten, but he always thought that quality leather looked best with a bit of wear.

He had pretty much finished unpacking during the day, organizing the contents of the few personal boxes he had brought along with him and making lists (things to buy for the bathroom, things to buy for the kitchen, things to buy for the fridge). He hadn't been much of a list maker until after his first few years of college. Lists just... made things make more sense. Or at least, help them not just slip away.

Now, two floors down from his new apartment, he stepped up to door 205. Vanessa. Vanessa... in 205, as she had put it.

'Well, Vic,' he thought, 'Time to make friends with the other kids.'

It wasn't that he was nervous, per say, but he hoped that he would be able to have a congenial relationship with the other people living in the building. Only one way to find out...

Clearing his throat lightly, he knocked on the door, three times.

Not one to make lists, or even be likely to remember something she did one hour ago, Vanessa was in her apartment, Frank Sinatra playing loudly from her record player. Some days were meant for classic music like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, and today was one of those days.

The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're a lot older
And all because of the gal that got away

Vanessa had changed out of the dress she had worn to the salon, and was now in oh so stylish black tee-shirt, purple sweatpants, and a pair of fuzzy lavender clog slippers. Thankfully her makeup was still intact, and her hair was still decent and down in a mop of curls. The bandage on her hand hadn't been changed yet and was currently a few different colors of the rainbow from work. It was currently sporting brown, black, a pumpkiny color, and pink. When she heard the knock, she stopped the record and answered the door, drinking a can of diet coke with a bright pink straw. "Hello?"

"...hello." Victor blinked, one brow quirking up a bit.

So, this was Vanessa in 205. Well. She seemed... quite interesting, so far. He glanced at the can, gaze briefly skirting down to the statement-making (at least, it certainly made a statement to him) slipper... clog... things. Nice choice in music, though. Yes... interesting was a good word.

The edge of his lips quirked a bit as well and he cleared his throat again. "I'm Victor. ...from 405. And... if this is a bad time - well, I can certainly come back... later?"

	"Oh!" Vanessa looked down at her obvious pajamas and over at Victor, who was obviously dressed very nicely, a jacket and everything. "No, no! Come right in Victor. I'm glad you stopped by! So often people say they will and just don't for whatever reason. Can I get you something to drink? I have diet coke, some red wine, a beer or two, and water." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I'll like it here too." And... he really, honestly did. Anything beat back in Portland, at least. And somehow, this place... All of it seemed right. "If everyone else is anywhere as nice as you, I'll know I'll be set." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good." Vanessa laughed and shook her head as she drank the beer she had taken. "Oh I'm not THAT nice. You sure you don't want something a little stronger than water?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmm... You seem quite nice to me." He smiled a little wider, though it couldn't quite be called a grin. Swirling the water around the bottle, he shrugged. "I don't want to impose. I did come over basically unannounced and I could tell that you were in the process of winding down from your day." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
