Owner Pose
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie is on the phone, and says "Ok, We will have two meat lovers, two neapolitans, a veggie lovers, two dozen garlic knots, three orders calamari, and say five orders of mozzerella sticks," He covers the phone and looks over to Alexis "Not sure who all is coming but we do have some eaters who might stop by, anything else you think we need?" He has invited some friends over from the mansion to hang out and get to know Alexis and Alexis get to know them better.
Alexis Carr     "Order some soda pop? I'm not sure what we have on hand from the welcome back ballet party--" Alexis comments as she sets down a box of sewing supplies and rainbow colored ribbons. She stretches her arms up over her head, wearing a pink shirt with a ballet dancer's silhouette on it with 'I GET THE POINTE' scrawled underneath, yoga pants and leg warmers.

    "Are you ordering wings? You should order wings."
Tabitha Smith There isn't so much as a knock as series of small BOOMs outside the door times to sound like the old Shave and a Haircut beat. Luckily for any outside decorations it's not destructive, just loud like a couple firecrackers.

Of course when the door is opened there'll be a Tabby out there struggling with a case of beer, a fancy german brand by the looks with a couple umlauts. How she managed to get this.

Best not ask the young woman dressed in red jeans and a faded black leather bolero cut bomber jacket, fleeze lining peeking at the collar, the hem letting her show some midriff while the winter season starts abating and more choice in ffashion and style are allowed. Her hair grown out a little to even allow her an actual pony tail. "I got beer! It's even still cold! Winter isn't done with us just yet but I'll make it work for me yet!" she states brighhtly.
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie smiles over at Alexis, and says "And lets say 100 wings." He says into the phone "Yea I am cool with an hour or an hour and a half." He tells them on the phone and says "Name's Guthrie." He then hangs the phone up, as he heads towards the door "I wonder who that is." He says sarcastically. He leans in to kiss Alexi's cheek and helps her with the things she was reaching before heading tot he door. He notices the beer, and says "Thats not missing from Harry's Back room is it?"
Alexis Carr     "A hundred wings? Sam that's going to be like seventy bucks!" Alexis protests, rolling her eyes a moment, and she hands Sam her credit card for the phone. "Let me pay for it." she states, and takes the phone to give out the number. She gives a small smile, and she looks over to Tabby, raising her eyebrows a moment.

    "Well, it'd be a shame if it became free *Warm* beer. Nothing worse." she replies to the Bomb-bastic mutant.
Tabitha Smith "Oh hell no. I swiped it from a racist liquor store in the lower east side!" Tabby says and exaggerates her tone to be more playful before she drops it back to a more sincere tone."I bought it on my way here. So it might still need fridging again like ASAP. OR a freezer for the first half dozen." Tabby states with a big brin aimed at Alexis.

"Don't want us pyro/plasma kinetics over heating. I'm fit but this thing is heavy after the first couple hundred yards."
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie nods, and will take the beer and shakes his head a bit but smiling. "Well I got it, you want a soda or tea or something while it is getting cold?" He will head towards the kitchen "I will let you do the tour, for Tabby, hon." He says to Alexis, as he puts the beer away and wonders about the intelligence, of leaving his ex and his current GF alone in a room together.
Alexis Carr     Alexis shakes her head with a smile, and motions around the apartment. "Welcome to the Guthrie-Carr Penthouse Suite. Over here we have our fine, expensive, Italian-marbled bathroom --" she m otions to a door. It is not Italian marble. "We have our generous formal living room --" with its large screen TV and fireplace.

    "And the fanciest part -- the kitchen, complete with Sam who does the lion's share of the cookery unless you need a proper cup of tea." Alexis gives a wry grin as she looks to Tabi.
Tabitha Smith "Poor man is terrified!" Tabby states with a grin and an almost evil chuckle. "Soda's fine. Tea is my wind down when I get home. And I remember I want to sleep and not want caffeine and stuff. So yeah soda is fine unless you want a sleepy Tabby by mistake." the blonde girl from Virginia playfully warns. "Your place is great Alexis! Wise are you to let Sam do the cooking. And blast proof decor is always handy!" she adds with the experience of her own formerly shared kitchen.
James Proudstar Jim arrives on time neither late nor early and bearing a bottle of Bourbon, Woodford Reserve. It's a big bottle but the man's hands make it appear average, and the neatly wrapped package in his other hand appears paperback sized despite being the size of a hardcover. He fills the doorway in a way few people can. He is after all the same size as the giant Fezzik, after all. Jim waits on the doorstep to be invited in, on his best manners trying to represent Sam in a good light. Jim will nod to Tabs, while hugging Sam and offering Alexis his hand, "You have a lovely home."
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie looks over to James, and thanks him putting the gift on the shelf for now. "Got food coming, going to be about an hour or so before it gets here, but do have some chips, and stuff if you need something to hold you over." He looks to his friends and says "She picked out most of the stuff, since she has better taste than me." He grins at this.
Alexis Carr     "'Allo 'allo!" Alexis gives a smile to Jim, and she shakes his hand. "That's because if Sam chose it'd look like a dorm room." she comments, giving a wink as she offers to grab jackets and such and give them a hang on hooks and coat tree. "Shoes off though once you reach the carpet, if you please. Vaccuum's on the fritz."
Tabitha Smith Smiles get beamed from a Taby waaay up to a Jimmy "You made it? Awesome!" she exclaims brightly while the Cannonballas gets a hug from the oversized Apache. They are good hugs.

"Just be wary if you see milk crates and planks gathering. That's a sign Sam needs an Ikea trip, stat!" she states and teases the earlier of her exes. Jacket is handed over and Tabby is left with a yellow cropped Xavier Institure logo'd sweatshirt. The boots soon follow and her toes wiggle about once they get free of her socks. Her toenails painted red to match her jeans. "Oooh, snacks nice! Thanks!" she says and eyeballs them almost like she used to the men. "I wear my stomach turned into a bottomless pit these last few months." she says and chuckles. "And now I can't blame Jim for when I run out of food in the apartment!" she adds playfully.
James Proudstar James Proudstar nods and take some chips, munching casually, "Thanks, he nods. "That's why I got a designer when I re-did the Ranch, style is not our strength. You can take the poor kid off the farm... " Jim chuckles easily and hands over the light coat he wears mainly for apprearances. He is wearing a neatly ironed work shirt, tough fabris but in an oxford cut. He bends down untying his boots and leaving them by the door.
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Hey I am always needing more shelves, oh speaking of shelves. Went by and talked to Xi'an the other day she is doing pretty good, keeping the library in check. He sets out the chips, and snacks even some veggies. He sits stuff on the coffee table and moves to stand beside Alexis.
Tabitha Smith "Or the trailer park." Tabby admits. "It's probably best to leave interior design to those with the eye for it." she states. "That's how you end up with musical fish mounted on the wall." she states at the expense of her upbringing. Though soon enough snacks and nibbly type stuff is claimed and almost inhaled Even some of the veggies laid out. Unbalanced diet.

"That woman busts way too much hump for us. No words how much I owe her, or you boys for that matter. I'd probably have gone villain if the New Mutants weren't a thing. Probably woulda called myself something dumb too like Evilicious!" she states. "So you know, thanks for that!" she states actually appreciative for the whole sanity thing .
Alexis Carr     "A musical... mounted --" Alexis blinks. She has never heard of Billy the Singing Bass. She's probably better off for it as she sits on the couch, and she rubs the back of her neck a moment.

    "Well, I'm not... sure what aesthetic would be required -- this is mostly just comfortable home. Other than the kitchen. That was my papa's work -- my grandfather, mind, not the other one who's trying to convince the world I'm dead."
James Proudstar James Proudstar frowns glancing at his phone but puts it away. "Sam loves books, always has. Especially, pulp and Sci-Fi. I only read cause you all sleep so much." Jim chuckles then raises his eyebrow as Tabby wolfs down the snacks. Keeping himself to the veggies, sans dip. He smiles, "Evilicious? Yeah,that tracks." He considers, "Family is complicated. But you have a wonderful sense of space and comfort."
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie nods to Alexis, and says "It is a silly animatronic thing. We try to keep them away from the mansion, last time someone brought one as a gag warlock spent weeks trying to get it to talk to him and ended up singing the songs for a couple weeks.
Tabitha Smith "Shitty dads Alexis. Right there with ya!" she states and smiles with nothing but understanding. "The other option I like is Doctor Madame McSplode James my fine slab of ex and X!" she states and chuckles.

"Ooh, and if it does help. Sam's mom is amazing! His siblings are all over the place. So Guthrie-ing is a pretty good upgrade. Someone miiiiiight need to tell Paige I am not someone to emulate though." she states and giggles.

"It's when the fish got infected with Transmode feet were put down. It took requests but 'Locks speech patterns do not make a great serenade."
James Proudstar James Proudstar hands the gift box to Sam, "I had forgotten about Warlocks fish drama. Sorry I missed your birthday this year." He glances at Tabs at the mention of Paige "Sam's family is lovely." He shrugs and gets quiet at the mentions of families.
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie takes the gift and will look at the other man "Thanks man." He will open it, and pulls out an older book. a first edition of Cisco Kid and the Terror Trail." He smiles over at the other man and says "Dang James, you shouldn't have." He will take a moment looking through it, yea he is a nerd, books excite him. He shows it to Alexis "Neat huh?"
Tabitha Smith Tabby pokes a finger into Jim's midscection and smiles up. "Hey, remember. Family don't just mean blood, John was awesome!. And we made ourselves into like the the Awesomest Family ever. So don't you dare feel mopey and lacking!" she tries to use imposing girlfriend voice but it may not hold sway since being all ex-girlfriend now "If anyone is gonna make it weird it's me!"

wWhen belated gift is given it gets an "Awwww, so much nerdy dorbs!" out of the blonde girl with a smile to match the almost fawning tone. "I missed it too I think. I can't remember. So Tabby of me. But I brought beer so we can all not remember things together!" she states and chuckles.
James Proudstar James Proudstar nods, "Sam and I bonded over our love of the Cisco Kid when didn't have a lot else in common. It made my first few weeks at the mansion a little easier. Though, my interest was a bit more in his Apache sidekick, Tokahotay." Jim gives a small smile. He sighs, "Between the clones and what the dominatos did to him, harvesting him like that... "Jim shakes his head, "It's good to have family we make ourselves. I found a lead on my tribe."
Sam Guthrie About then there is a knock on the door, and Sam looks to the others "One moment." He puts the book on his book case in a place of honor, and then moves to answer the door. He pays and into the room Sam comes with boxes on top of boxes "Foods on." He says as he moves to put the food out and they put a serious dent in the food, Sam may have left overs but not left overs for days.
Tabitha Smith "You know I'm down for snooping and sniffing out leads Jim. I've gotten back some old grooves from my street days yo. So sneaky Tabby is back online to help find that family!" Tabby volunteers. "I might have had to give up being a girlfriend but the trade off is a slightly more on the ball friend. Slightly. I just do more than blow stuff up and look great in tight clothes now! So you come grab me when you wanna follow those trails... Oooh pizza!" she says and is still tabby mostly as she really does make an effort on all that deleivered junk food. Even the insanity wings are not safe.
