"It's nice to meet you Arthur," Cole says warmly. He sits down and looks around the room once again. "This place is pretty…unique, huh?"
Arthur nods, standing and looking around the room. "Yeah. Though I haven't exactly seen most of it yet, but its definitely strange, given the whole method I got here. No complaints though, I finally got to get out of my house!"
"Oh? Do you want to explore the house then?" Finally another guy plus explorer buddy to boot! Things were looking up and w h a t if it's because of his power?!
"Yeah, That sounds fun! Be good to get a lay of the land, as I've only been in this here room so far." Arthur's voice sounds a bit more lively, and he grins energetically.
"Cool!" Cole grins back and gestures to the stairs. "Want to try upstairs or the first floor first?"
"Upstairs, since we've got the stairs right here. Plus, I've gotten a little curious about the second floor while sitting here. So, upwards!"
"Upwards!" Cole echoes. He races up the stairs with a whoop.
Arthur followed, running to keep up, laughing at Cole's infectious energy.
Cole stops on the landing and sneezes as a dust cloud pervades the air. "Seriously?"
Blade jumped out of a room, nearly slamming into Arthur. "Oh! Who's this?"
Arthur waves hello. "Hi, I'm Arthur. I just got here. Nice to meet you!" He grins
"How'd you get there, Blade?" Cole asks. Last time he saw her was in the lounge below.
Rayla literally just floots up from the floor. At least, a part of her mind does. It coalesces into a solid being.
"Hey!" she says cheerfully.
Cole screams and jumps backwards. He should've expected this. He really should have.
Arthur, completely undisturbed by this display/mode of transport, waves hello. "Hi!" He says, matching her cheerful tone.
Rayla giggles. "Sorry Cole."
She looks at Arthur. "Hey! I'm Rayla!"
"I'm Arthur, nice to meet you!"
Cole calms down then and shakes his head. "It's just a party up here, huh?"
Rayla smiles at Arthur before turning to Cole and giggling.
"I can get us a disco ball." she jokes.
“I mean, it’ll certainly liven up this place. But let’s first try some cleaning materials and rags before partying,” Cole mock-chides her.
"That's prooooobably smart," Blade agrees, appearing again. "And nice to meet you, Arthur."
"Hi Arthur, I'm Jordie. Nice to meet you!" Jordie squeaks, popping out from behind Rayla. "Also, I'm 100% on board for a party."
"Yeah, there's no reason why we can't have a party just because its a little dirty. Nice to meet you too!"
"Not necesarrily… someone's gonna end up dead at kind of party," Blade says quietly.
"Valid point," Jordie admits.
Arthur chuckles and whispers to himself, "Quite true… Its happened before.."
