take you in

Everybody needs a little help once in a while. Offering them a ride to a shelter is one thing, but if you really want to help, why not offer to take them in until they can get back on their own two feet?

How to Play:

Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences (needs shelter or can give shelter).
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!

You can use a RNG to help pick, or choose your favorite.

1. Kicked Out: Your friend just got kicked out of their living space and you know they've got nowhere else to go. Help them out!
2. Recurring: You pass by this person almost every day on your way out. Maybe you give them some money every day, maybe you give when you can, or maybe you don't give at all. Either way, seeing them so often finally pulled on your heartstrings enough to open your door and welcome them in.
3. Baby, It's Cold Outside: The snow storm of the century is heading your way. Come on, you can't let them freeze to death, even if it's just for a night.
4. GDI A Kid: Usually you'd keep to yourself, but you can see that this person has a child or is pregnant. How can you not help, you're not a monster.
5. Trade Off: Listen, they need a place to sleep, you need someone to do the cleaning and you're a pretty awful cook. Mutually beneficial.
6. Familiar Face: You haven't seen them in a while and they sort of fell off the face of the earth. You heard that it was bad, but you didn't know it was this bad, bring them inside!
7. Wildcard: If you don't like any of the prompts, make your own!

"I'll find it," he tells her. He takes her statement as permission to look in he drawers. He starts with the top drawer, and when it isn't there, he goes on to the next drawer.

"I just hope," he says, and glances up at her. She is beautiful, he can't deny that. How did he get so lucky, to get taken in by a virtual goddess? He shakes his head and continues, "they're able to get out here. I mean, the roads are bad, and it's still coming down. California's not prepared for this kind of storm."

When he offers to look for the phone book, Lydia nods and smiles, taking that as a sign that it's fine if she goes on putting away her groceries. There are a lot more non-perishable items in her haul this time than there normally is, because she's heard that there could be some power outages caused by the storm. Lydia isn't a big fan of dry, cold cereal or soups or Chef Boyardee, but she figures those are safe bets because even if the electricity goes, she's got a gas stove and she can heat them up.

Lydia looks back over her shoulder and lifts an eyebrow. "They'll have to figure it out, they can't just go leaving people stranded all over the place," she points out loftily. She doesn't mean to sound cold, but it is their job, after all... "California should've gotten its shit together, if you ask me. It's not like nobody saw this coming. Exhibit A," she says smugly, opening her pantry wider so that he can see the plethora of canned foods and other non-perishables, not to mention the two cases of bottled water stacked on the floor beneath the shelves.
