Where: Pisces and Libra
Summary: House hunting is a family affair
Warnings: The usual warnings that come with these three. ~~Gratuitous amounts of Gay/Gay-chicken~~, ~~Desco is her own warning~~

The tiny apartment allotted to them was barely big enough for one human and a room-crashing vampire, add a little demon-girl to the mix and things had gotten crowded.

Johnny counted up the vast store of money he'd stashed away from when he'd been hiding his career choices from Otoha and, combined with whatever extra he had saved up from not needing to buy clothes or food, he'd been pleased to find they could afford a good selection of houses.

He spent a few more days looking around at night and exploring the ones he thought looked promising until he finally narrowed it down to four. It was these four, two in each district, that he intended to offer up to his make-shift family one early evening.

Umbrella to keep the last rays of sunlight in hand, Johnny led them to the first option, an overly-large, multi-story, house that was exceedingly extravagant. But nothing was too nice in the vampire's opinion. He grinned at them like a child showing off the art piece he'd made in class and waved his hand towards the building. "Well? What do you think?"

Otoha wasn't sure why he was here. He didn't really care about living space - he could sleep pretty comfortably in a closet if it was long enough for him to stretch out his legs. Even he had limits, though. With a childlike vampire and a childlike demon, someone had to be the sort of reasonable adult in this group.

"Do we really need that much space? And how much money would you have left over?"

Desco, meanwhile, has more practical concerns.

"Desco thinks it needs more spikes. And a big fence she can impale the skulls of her enemies on!"

...well. Practical for her, anyway.

Johnny seemed to consider the question a moment, as though he'd never thought of it before. He might not have. "Perhaps not. But I'm sure we could find something to do with the extra rooms. I've stayed in places bigger than this and Minea and I were the only ones living there. There is something a bit smaller on the list though, if you'd rather."

Desco's concerns earn her a smile. "If a fence is what you like, then we'll just have to chose one of the ones with a yard. The last one didn't, so we don't have to look at that one. I don't think any of them come with fences, but I'll gladly make you one, just so you can put all the skulls you want on it~" It wouldn't take long if he used Yuria and Makiria and besides, every little girl deserved a grandiose fence if she wanted one, right?

... Otoha sighed a little bit. Even he knew to be subtler than that, but whatever. They could deal with it. "Right. It doesn't matter much to me. Though an attic might be nice, if we can find anywhere with one."

Or at least somewhere he could climb up and look down at the city. He'd grown to like the view from above, and if he couldn't get it at home he'd have to get it from climbing other buildings.

"A yard might be kind of nice, though." He was thinking of getting Desco a pet anyway... as long as he could be sure she wasn't going to eat it.

Hey. Hey. Desco is great with pets. She raised a Sabercat all the way up to level 3000 all by herself!

Also Uncle Johnny's promise of all the skulls she wants makes her perk right up, her tail swishing happily and her tentacles snapping in excitement.

"Oh! And once we get the fence, Desco will go slaughter more dragons for their skulls!"

He pets her hair between her horns and offers his hand to her. "Just as long as you keep out of severe trouble." He turned a bright smile on Otoha and hooked his other arm with his friend's. "I think I have just the place, come on~ You'll love it. It's smaller, but not by much."

The next house he leads them too is indeed smaller. But only just. It does have an attic, though and a decent open yard. "Two stories, plus an attic, and it's got one extra bedroom than we need, just in case, and plenty of space for you two to do what you want. There's a room where you could put all of your skulls or whatever other trophies you'd like, and there's space for you to train, Otoha~ I know you like to keep that lovely physique of yours in top shape."

He was definitely presenting this in a 'look what I found, isn't it awesome??' way.

He opens his mouth to say something, but then shuts it. It's just teasing. The place does look pretty nice, though. Much nicer than any place he's ever lived. He just stares at it for a moment, unsure of what to say. It's a home - more than any other place he's ever had.

He doesn't say anything, just nods, squeezing Johnny's arm a little.

Oooo. Desco drapes herself around Johnny, reabsorbing Usatako as she laces her claws together to give him a hug.

"This one! Desco likes this one!"

Eyes shining, she rolls off of Johnny's shoulders and onto Otoha's, giving him a hug as well.

"Desco's never lived in an actual house before! She's so excited!"

Johnny's smile only brightened and he turned slightly to throw his arms around the both of them, fully ecstatic.

"Perfect~! I'll make the arrangements, then and we can move in as soon as we like! We should even have enough spare money left to get some decorations. Aaah! And I'll start work on that fence of yours, Desco, you'll have it before the week is out!"

Otoha froze a little bit at all this physical affection, but relaxed a tiny bit after a few moments. He chuckled, and nudged Johnny a little.

"Just as long as you keep the colors in my room less... loud. I've seen your decorating. You know I don't like anything fancy."

Nope. He still hadn't forgiven Johnny for that one.

"Heh. I'm not exactly the best with fixing up houses or whatever. I'll do what I can though."
