Date: 2019-10-22 04:11 am (UTC)Of course he's already moving forward to investigate everything he can to see what needs to be done in the future to make this as comfortable as possible.]
It will certainly need a good dusting, if not a proper clean, but I think this is as good as we could have asked for. If we weren't looking for something mobile. [His only gripe is that it's an obvious space, with the shape of the building, but it's a minor thing at best.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:15 am (UTC)[He. Hopes those have walls. Please have walls.
Beyond that actually-] Just how could a home be mobile, exactly? I do recall reading tales about a 'camping caravan', and I suppose there have been other such wagons in the past, but are you speaking of those?
[Of course this is Jonathan's first minor complaint,]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:18 am (UTC)Please don't actually make him have to make walls.]
... Something like that, yes. I dare say, with the transportation I have seen around here, there's probably better versions than those around here somewhere. It would be nicer in the spring and summer months, to be able to roam the land freely.
[Jonathan, he likes to travel. A lot.
Deal with it.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:19 am (UTC)He moves about, so they can actually check that for themselves.] I see...
I will confess, it sounds a bit cramped...but I suppose ultimately it would be no worse than staying in a motel room for a time- and certainly more exciting at least, [He admits with a nod.]
The winter at least will give time to look into what options would be then.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:22 am (UTC)There are ways to make use of a space like that to be less cramped, but most aren't nearly as tall as you are, Jonathan. [Most people aren't giants, is what he means.] I would rather explore when we have a chance, anyway, since I doubt we'll learn anything of real value here if we just stay here.
[He's humming for a brief moment as he takes note of all the furniture he can and then goes to inspect the state of the kitchen.]
It certainly would and it would give us time to plan, on top of that.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:39 am (UTC)That is part of what concerns me... [He admits a little sheepishly.] The carriage to Windknight's Lot was already rather challenging...
That's a fair point however- this is hardly a country either of us are familiar with, and it would do us both well to unearth what secrets it could hold...
[The kitchen, as Speedwagon inspects it, is filled with modern necessities. Some might even be More modern than the rest of Bavan...which. Is frankly odd and likely confusing. There's even a dishwasher.
But hey, the power works, and the sink is nice, double, and deep. There's also an electric kettle.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:44 am (UTC)That's part of what concerns me, the secrets this place may hold. If things such as turning into monsters and the like aren't considered such, then what do they consider worth hiding?
[How strange, some of these appliances. He can understand some of them as a different version of what he's used to, but others just confuse him even further. But he's quietly running a hand over the edge of the sink with an appreciative hum.]
I think with a little cleaning even this kitchen will serve us rather well. A deep sink, an electric kettle, and some of these other ones seem like a newer version that what I'm used to. It may be a bit of a challenge to figure them out, but I suppose I can manage.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 04:52 am (UTC)[Anyway, erm...he hesitantly moves over to inspect the kettle.] It's certainly an odd shape, but it can't be anything but, can it...
...I think one can even see through to the inside through the measuring part here, [He murmurs, thinking upon the devices he'd see in science labs at the university.] The sink though... ...I take it you know your way around a kitchen then, [he remarks, half questioning and half awestruck if anything. No offense to Speedwagon, but he didn't think of the fellow as the cooking sort.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:04 am (UTC)Why else would it be in the kitchen if it's not a kettle? [Honestly, he's pretty sure this particular answer is obvious at this point.] If you can see the measurements of it, then even better, takes the guess work out of measuring out your tea or coffee. Handy.
[Aaaand there it is. He's pausing and turning to look at him, a brow slowly raised.]
Jonathan. I lived by myself in what was essentially the gutters of London and had no intentions on taking a wife. So of course I know my way around a bloody kitchen. I would have starved otherwise. [... Valid, honestly. Don't question the reasons.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:10 am (UTC)[Ah.........he blinks, and looks a little sheepish.] O-of course! I suppose that's the case for quite a few... [Just why didn't he think of that! Ooof.]
...You are right about this kettle though... [Smooth dodging, Jonathan.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:15 am (UTC)And then he can't help but not be mad when he's being that ridiculous. He's the only person capable of saying something entirely stupid and remotely offensive and then immediately making him not be upset at it.]
For everyone in the city that did not have money, yes. [You either learned to survive, find a woman who could cook, or you died. Life was never that simple to begin with.]
It's a kettle. How are we looking with the bedrooms?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:20 am (UTC)But they cannot.
Jonathan looks properly shamed, suffice to say, when it comes to the matter of cooking- he takes the retreat to the matter of bedrooms quickly, nodding and walking toward where they appear to likely be.] Well...at the very least, the necessities of a wall and door has not changed in the 'future', [he chuckles, finding himself in a hall rather quickly. The first door is opened, and he blinks.] Ah- I would wager much more than two people shared this apartment however...there are two beds in here.
[Large ones too- so certainly not for young children.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:24 am (UTC)He could never compete, to be fair.
No reason to be shamed, he's long since forgotten the reason to be upset with him and is taking after him to investigate these bedrooms.]
I... would assume them related or close enough, then. Sharing a room with two beds with a stranger seems... highly unorthodox. [And a little weird, at that. But to each their own at the end of the day, they aren't here now so there's no way to understand the reasoning.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:31 am (UTC)They wouldn't have had anyone else after all.] That's one of the bedrooms then...the other...
[The door opens, and there are again two beds. Though there seems to be a shadow in the room, and as he looks up...
...Oh.] Oh my.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:35 am (UTC)It makes his stomach turn to knots the longer he thinks on it.
But onto the other bedroom and he's shifting past him to get a look at where he's starting and...
Oh.
Yep, he gets it now.]
I... think this one off limits until it can be fixed properly, then?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:37 am (UTC)[Just when one gets to put things like 'turning into animalistic creatures' from mind, they get a handful of proof...]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:39 am (UTC)Monsters, Jonathan. Monsters.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:44 am (UTC)He swallows, and closes the door.] Let us avoid this room, [he 'repeats', a sense of finality to it.] There...should be a washroom of sorts, yes? Let us see what facilities it has available here.
[He tries not to think too hard about the matter.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:46 am (UTC)Right, he can do that much for now. It can be... fixed later, months down the line, if ever at all. There's no reason to think about it during winter, at least.]
I doubt that washrooms would have changed much in such a time span, but I have been proven wrong thus far on numerous items...
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:51 am (UTC)[What it says on the tin, really. A storage closet. He goes to the next door.] Then...oh.
Well! [Modern washrooms will Always astound him. Where he was used to a room more or less painted no differently from the rest of the house, the washroom had tile- it also had a massive bathtub, among other features. The dust of course struck this room as well- flicking a switch (and he would truly never get used to that), the lights illuminated all of it, a sad reminder of how long it had been since someone was here.
His footsteps leave marks in the dust, and he pauses at the bath tub itself.] ...Quite a lot of shampoo products...
[He tries not to think about the fur.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-22 05:55 am (UTC)Storage is useful, at least, even if they have very little to currently store. Perhaps in the future they can make this a sort of safe house and go from there. There's certainly enough room.
As for the washroom itself, he's honestly fairly amused at the size and just the sheer everything about it.]
Useful, should we need them. I know I have a lot more hair than you do. [There's a hint of a joke there, but if he only knew it would continue to get worse later in the future, then he'd certainly have more appreciation towards all of the shampoos being here.
Perhaps later.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-23 04:08 am (UTC)It's unspoken, but it's there, impossible to ignore even as he tries to join in on the joke.] I certainly can't disagree with you there Speedwagon- hopefully we can make use of this product rather than it going to waste. Though if it's been here for some time, it may have expired...
[At least these things- as discovered thanks to whatever the hostels had on hand- have such information on their packaging now. He'll look for that now, in fact.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-23 05:40 am (UTC)But there's some mirth and merriment of a sort here and he'll take what he can get right now.]
I forget those things expire, honestly. I can't recall the last time I had one long enough for it to go bad. [Not wrong, really, he does have a ridiculous amount of hair and he always has as far as he can recall.]
no subject
Date: 2019-10-23 05:43 am (UTC)Best not to think of that however.] It does look as though we have a bit of time at least with this, so we're in luck!
I highly doubt this room and that storage closet could take up the entirety of this end of the apartment however...I wonder what could be taking up the rest of the space?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-25 05:47 pm (UTC)One less thing we'll need to invest in for a while... And, ah.
[He's already out that door and going to search out what else is on this end, sorry, Jonathan. Do try to keep up with him when he's on a mission. Not that it's hard to with that giant gait.]
