I'm so so beyond furious right now.

Guess what I came home to? A f**king flood in my apartment. Apparently one of the pipes in my bathroom came loose and it's been slow dripping for a few DAYS before I got home. There was about five centimeters of water EVERYWHERE. And being a basement level apartment it's going to take me freaking forever to dry the place out again. Oh, and now I have to re-buy some of my furniture too. I hate shopping for stuff like furniture.

This shit has ALSO ruined two of my good amps, my X-box, my sterio and a bunch of my recording stuff. Good f**king thing I have insurance. I need to replace my electronics immediately though and I hear insurance takes forever to clear.

I'm just really glad I left my electric guitar on the kitchen table after I was done re-stringing it over Easter. That thing is custom made and can't really be replaced to me.

God this is depressing. If I was much of a drinker, I think I'd be completely pissed right now.

You okay with a place to stay in the meantime?
Sounds inhospitable.

I'm good. I got most of the mess cleaned up for now. I kinda have to stay here and make sure stuff dries out okay..and THEN I have to get new carpet.
Or maybe I'll just get hardwood floors in case this shit happens again.

Thanks for asking though..if it gets ridiculous I might give up and head out.

I know fuckall about plumbing, but I'm reasonably certain that you could take precautions to prevent it from happening again.

Yeah, I don't know shit about it either so i got all the pipes in this place replaced and tightened up real good. Apparently the pressure on my water tank was high too so I had to lower it a bit.

You've been calling it "your place." You live alone?

Yup. My Mum died and allowed me to be emancipated. It actually works out since I'm in school most of the year anyways.

I'll say. Sounds worth it for the occasional having to deal with fucked up pipes.

[Jealous? Only a little. He loves his family, really.]

I guess. It's a little lonely sometimes but I can appreciate the quiet.

[No need to be jealous..not at all.]

[They can trade.]

Hell, that's what the journal's for.

I suppose so. I'm out a lot too so that helps.

Out other than school?
I bet.
Sounded like you go to shit like the music festival a lot.

Yeah. I play a lot of gigs at bars, clubs things like that. I play with friends and fill in for people if they need me too.
There are worse ways to earn a living.

Trust me, I'm aware.
You've got a damn good arrangement there.

Seriously, Marshall could do worse. Like selling puppet porn on the internet.]

Gotta do what you love and all that. Do you do anything outside of school job-wise?

[Oh god Dirk. Don't tell him that. He'd totally go online to find it.]

[He wouldn't over the journal. He argues with Bro plenty, but he wouldn't want to do something that might get him fired, either.]

No actual jobs, nah.
Could probably find some Wizarding shit to do in London if I tried.

Cripes, that sounds like one hell of a mess. I don't suppose you need a hand clearing up? William's been unbearable since David hasn't been around to keep him on a leash.

I've got it cleaned up okay but I wouldn't mind company when I have to go get replacement furniture. If you don't mind a little dampness you're more than welcome to stay over if you need to escape.

I think I'll take you up on that. I imagine they'll want me back for my birthday, but that isn't for over a week.

All right. I live all the way out near The Fens. Its kind of a secret location wise, but I can trust you.

I'm flattered, but I'm going to need something a little more precise than 'The Fens'. That is a rather large area to cover.

Hmm..tell you what, pick a day to come out and just take the train out and I'll meet you at the station and we can head out from there. There's only one station stop near the Fens.

[His apartment is under a graveyard. He doesn't want to freak you out too much Arthur.]

That's reasonable enough. How does Friday suit you?

[He'll need that time to persuade his parents that this is a good idea.]

((ooc: Wanna do a log for this? :>))

That's fine by me. I have a bunch of fans going constantly so the place should be pretty much dried out by then.

((ooc: Sure! It'll be fun! Want me to set it up?)

Smashing. I'll let you know which train I'm catching.

((ooc: Go for it!))

Do you need help with anything? It sounds like your situation isn't very comfortable. I really do hope that you don't grow mildew of any sort. It'll ruin your belongings, not to mention, make your place even less hospitable.

Nah, I took care of it pretty quickly. I tossed out everything that got ruined and it's already drying out pretty well. I'm keeping a bunch of fans going constantly to try and dry everything out.
I think I'll put in hardwood floors intead of carpet this time around just in case anything like this happens again. That and it'll probably be a hell of a lot easier to keep clean.
I appreciate the offer to help though. It's sweet of you.

I imagine that hardwood floors would look better than carpet anyways. There's something aesthetically pleasing about it that carpet just lacks.

Ah yes. I have tricked another person into thinking I'm actually nice. Soon the world. ;)

I thought so too. And it's not like I can't just put down a few throw rugs if I feel the urge to decorate.

Aw, don't talk like that. I know you're nice. I can feel it and I'm rarely wrong about these kind of things.

A hardwood floor with a rug looks much more pleasant than stained carpet. Carpet can be so fussy and unforgiving when dirtied.

You will see. When I rule the world with an iron fist. You must have missed my speeches about my plan to rule the world via felines.

I...guess so? [Vampire or not, Marshall is still a guy and thus does not even notice dirt half the time. Merlin forbid you ever visit him Rose.]

Oh, I saw it. So, when you rule the world will you show me mercy Your World Leadership?

[She gets enough dirt at the stables. She doesn't want to go rolling in it in her house too! That, and what do you expect of a spoiled rich girl in France?]

Of course. I have already made a list of people whom I will show mercy and even partial affection when I decide to take over with an iron fist.

[Girls and their cleanliness.]

When you take over can you ban boy bands from forming? And Celestine Warbeck?

[You haven't seen her room. It's actually a mess. She just doesn't want dirt in her house. That doesn't say much for the fact that she doesn't tend to bother to pick up her clothes when she tosses them to the floor.

She's actually pretty messy, but she wouldn't throw dirt around her room, that's for sure.]

Consider it done. If only because I must torture young, stupid girls. Their IQ will be so much better if they aren't fawning over boys who have yet to reach puberty.

Very true. Not that I don't like the fawning myself, but at least I've hit puberty.

I'm sure everyone enjoys getting fawned over.
But let's be honest. Do you really want girls going for the boy that can hit higher notes than their shrieking fans?
