After a fairly rough night, given that it was storming - as always, in Old Argent - it was time for everyone inhabiting the lot to begin their day, anew.


This is apparently how the Monkey King now ENJOYS to start his days.


And Bjorn was, for once, a good boy and did the dishes for the household. Or maybe he lost a bet or otherwise owed something and needed to do them..for...some reason.


Or maybe the deal was, since Bjorn was capable of burning down the house EVEN WHEN MAKING SOMETHING SIMPLE, like cereal, it was just agreed that if he kept the kitchen clean, someone capable of mixing cereal and milk in a bowl sans disaster would feed him.

The trip out front to take out the garbage was, however, NOT without some form of strife, as Bjorn encountered the Monkey King, who seemed intent on blocking Bjorn as a visiting/passing-by Lorna was accosted by two large wolf-breeds.


Intent on not making the last description turn this story into a horrible tale of bestiality, Bjorn just shoved the Monkey King aside and made sure Lorna was all right. It was all, of course, to the great chagrin of the Monkey King, who insisted to Bjorn that "THAT HORRIBLE RED-HEADED WOMAN IS A MENACE! By allowing her to escape the wolves, you are UPSETTING THE CIRCLE OF LIFE! Now the antelopes cannot eat the grass! ...or...or SOMETHING."


"I dount wants to hears it."


"YOU MUST BELIEVE ME! James Earl Jones said it and hence it is AS TRUE AS MY RIGHTFUL PLACE AS HEIR TO THE KINGDOM OF MONKEYS!"


"..." "...please, believe me...? I mean..."


"Your word is as meaningsless as your lifes. Please to go die, nows."


In a normally suicidal move, Monkey King gave Bjorn a small shove, which took the off-guard Swede by surprise.


"YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO THE MONKEY KING IN SUCH A MANNER AS THAT YOU DONKEY!"

The Monkey King's life was spared, as Vold showed up at that moment, and he generally discouraged murder happening in his home. Generally. And Bjorn, possibly a candidate for ADHD, immediately shifted interests from "killing guys" to " :D OH HAI did you get laid?!?!"


A question that was continually brought up, seeing as, if he stayed the night, there was NO OTHER REASON other than sex, mirite?


A master of dealing with Bjorn, and at talking out of situations involving him in general, Vold just mentioned a variety of other topics...


...until Bjorn's short-term memory was virtually powerless to talk about anything but the topic at hand.


It's not actually that hard, and you don't need to be a master of conversation to do it.


I'm sure you can imagine.


Then, his manly hunger caught up with him, and he proceeded to attack the cereal bowl.


"...Bjorn, I'm...pretty sure one of these is Seb's...." "*OM NOM NOMMING!*"


With most of the day's general shenanigans out of the way, it was time to take care of the rest of the house's furnishings, so we didn't end up going weeks unfurnished like we did with the last one.


Even though there was already a TV room, Bjorn thought it prudent that he continue to have his own TV and videogame system in his room.


For someone who seems borderline retarded some days, his room is pretty snazzy.


Vold kept his room pretty simple, in most respects.


Curtained beds are classy.


Seb didn't care what room he got, so he just went for the oblong, oddly shaped one that had a view out into that silo/tower-like portion overlooking the street. It made a nice, natural partition for a section where he could paint...


...and a portion that was more for "living quarters".


...well..."living" is....you know what I mean. SLEEPING quarters...?


He also had a door out onto the balcony..!

And in general, they were all very happy to be living in a house that, for once? Was fully finished.


So happy that they decided to have a POKER PARTY!! Of course, they realized three people at a four-person poker table was kind of...sad? Empty? Either way.


Either way, Bjorn tried to call up someone to have as a fourth person for himself, Vold and Seb's POKAR PARTAY!

With disastrous results.


"THE MONKEY KING THANKS YOU, curiously AQUAMARINE creature, for KINDLY not having your barbarous BRUTE to my left SLAY ME."
"...Bjorn...was there really NO ONE ELSE you could have called instead of THIS guy...?"
"I thinks he changes our speeddials...? Because, I tries to calls Jake, but I gets...DIS guy..."
"...ah, well. At least maybe Vold'll think you're trying to not kill him, for a bit. Speaking of which, when's he - "


"Sorry guys, gotta run - I'm meeting Elise downtown..!"


".....huh." "..."


"....the Monkey King raises you twelve bananas!"
"...you just started dealing, you can't raise y-"
"TWELVE BANANAS."
"I folds."


And then Vold was off to pick up his date...


....and head dooowwwntoooowwwwn! *porno groove music*


And of course, they met at the Chupacabra Bar and Grill!


Vold noted that Mona was there as well. She seemed to want to tell Vold something, but....


...became distracted by this AWESOME GUY in a Beanie.


...he was indescribably awesome, even as he ate a simple salad.


Save for creepy orange tube-top girl in the background, they had yet another perfect dream date.


Perhaps they were a perfecy match because they both paint their fingernails black? Who can say. But Vold was glad that this relationship didn't get awkward after the first night.


Just maybe, he thought, as he took off from the date to head back home and chill, he had found something that could last.



On that sappy note, Elise - sharing thoughts that the relationship was going pretty well for yet another guy who'd just pried his way into her panties on the first date - thought to get Vold something to show her appreciation.


...but seemed oddly ENAMORED with Sebastian as she strode by.


She tried to get his attention, perhaps just for the thrill of being a pretty girl being seen...? But, well, she was on his bad side - as in the side with a white eye, where he couldn't see her.


She admired the flowers she placed on the doorstep she'd found at Edgewood manor, before quickly knocking and rushing off.

Of course...as you might have guessed...this was the wrong door.


With a very shocked inhabitant inside....

Naturally, Vold being blamed in Monkey King's head for the horribly rivalry he now had with Lorna, when Monkey King found a bouquet of flowers with the number for an "Elise" on his doorstep...the very same Elise that had Vold dashing from the house....?


He started to form an evil, evil plan.

Stay tuned........
