Oh my God, Isabella, did you plan this? Tell me you hit your head when you did, otherwise I'm having Penn check you into the insane asylum.

[irene_hicks]

*clears her throat and smiles tentatively at Izzy and India*

Surprise?

[irene_hicks]

*avoids looking at Penn, still blushing*

Um, I can help you get drinks for everyone if you'd like, Isabella.

[izzy_hicks]

*enters the apartment with Eva and Cristoff* Hey Izzy, is India in I was hoping to-

*stops when he sees all the people in the room* Um wow okay a lot of people here. Family in town for the holiday Iz?

*goes over to India, gives her a hug, and whispers in her ear* Okay, now I know meeting the family is SO not in fling rules.

*smiles at everyone* Hi, I'm Yuffie. Its nice to meet you.

[eric_hicks]

*had stopped laughing when Iz took control*

*takes one look at Yuffie and starts laughing again*

Oh. Oh God. You're...

*looks over at India who is also cracking up*

Twins?

*tries to calm down*

Hey Yuffie. I'm Eric. Isabella, I'll take that drink now. Make it a double.

[cristoff_eleni]

You won't even have sex in the house with her somehow I doubt conversation is out.

*takes tray from her with a grin before she throws it at him*

Drinks?

[eric_hicks]

*takes a drink from Cristoff, looks puzzled*

Nicky had a good question, Belle. Why do you have a sword?

*looks over at Yuffie*

I know California has a rep for being kind of flakey, but I don't buy your explanation.

Someone giving you trouble, Isabella?

[izzy_hicks]

*takes another drink. smiles at Eric*

No, Eric. I'm not in any trouble. *thinks* I just collect swords. They're...like a hobby. I have some neat antique ones.

*looks at Penn or Eva or someone for back up and another drink*

[_penn_]

*notices Izzy's look and quickly jumps in*

Yeah thats right, her collection is pretty cool, she's got a sword from *bites lip realizing he doesn't know human history* Um, the the *remember Eva talking about furniture* Victorian times...?

Though really weapon collecting is pretty cool, also you know, people are less likely to try to rob you if they know you have a lot of shiny weapons in your apartment *fakes a smile*

[eric_hicks]

Actually, Penn, I couldn't committ to moving here until I saw the night life.

*looks over at India*

How about we let Nicky get plenty of quality time with Belle and you show me around town?

*flashes a smile at Ingrid and Isabella*

I'll probably not be back tonight, so just leave a message on the voice mail about which hotel you guys booked us in.

[izzy_hicks]

*too quickly*

NO!

Um, hey Eric You're not gonna bail on my right. I mean I haven't seen you in a long time either.

You should stay here. I'm gonna give Rhia a call and see if I can take a couple of the vacant apartments for you guys.

[eric_hicks]

*laughs as he crosses the room to hug Isabella*

Relax, Sis, I'm a big boy now. I can take care of myself and Indie is scary enough to keep the skanks at bay.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

[izzy_hicks]

*step between him and the door panicked*

No, Eric. You can't just run around this town at night. It's not safe.
