( ordinarily, ginoza would never be caught with his image willingly on the network, but it's a special occasion, so. it's a selfie-angled recording, gino standing a number of inches taller than the woman wrapped around his middle — one angela ziegler — the two of them looking about as happy as can be. the image of a glamorous house is apparent in the shot, taking up a healthy portion of the screen. two dogs can be seen chasing each other around in the background every so often.

gino ducks his head, a little shyly, before huffing out a laugh. )

Well. Uh.

( it's a little bewildered, like he can't really believe he's making this post at all, but here they are. angie gives him a small tug of encouragement and he continues on. )

We bought that.

( a hand lifts off on angie's shoulder to point to the house. )

And we're having a housewarming party this triple moon to celebrate it. Everyone's invited. I'll attach the information in a text below, but — we'd be happy if you came and celebrated with us. ( he looks down to angie, questioning if he forgot anything — ) Oh. There's going to be plenty of food and drink, and it might be a good chance to meet new people. We hope to see you there.

( he ends the recording with a swift, somewhat blushy kiss to angie's cheek. as promised, there's a text attachment to the post that lists where and when the party is taking place. come on down and get fucky i mean friendly with some fun folk. )

( This goof... Once he has the feed shut off, she's giving him another little squeeze about the middle and tipping up to catch that blush still high in his cheeks, her nose still crinkled with her amusement. )

See? Not so bad at all. And look at it this way— anyone who sees this and who you'll have to deal with, you'll be meeting in person soon enough anyway.

( She'll help fuss over the post settings. )

What do you think we should make? I was debating fondue.

[efficients]

That's true.

( it's just a little bit grumbled but playful still, gino pocketing his phone and then swinging two arms around angie's neck, pulling her in for a hug. he kisses the top of her head, sweetly. )

Can you make that? I really won't be much help.

But it sounds delicious.

[Katsuki just. Stares. Normally, he ignores the network unless there's something going on that benefits him. He's not into reaching out. But he recognizes Angela standing next to someone he doesn't recognize.

He's not particularly paranoid. Angela is a grownass capable woman and her life is her own. He certainly isn't about to talk to her about what he's been doing lately, but a house is a big step. So he responds tactfully.]

Who the hell are you?

[efficients]

( what is this username angie help please

gino just tries to take it in stride, expression carefully neutral. he's likely a friend of angela's. )

Ginoza.

( an awkward beat, )

Should I call you Explosion Murder?

[video]

[spah]

[Dell's not familiar with Ginoza - but he does know Angela. So here's a middled-aged-ass Texan dude on the screen, waving a metal hand.]

Howdy. Not too familiar with the occasional here beyond knowin' Angela, but congrats to y'all.

[efficients]

( metal hand?!?! guess who also has a metal hand ... slightly awkwardly, he fumbles his hands around to bring that one up for a wave, like a silent acknowledgement. some sort of brotherhood, maybe? )

Ah, thank you. Will we be seeing you at the party?

[cadeuces]

( And now her reply too!! She's apparently playing tug-of-war with one of the dogs with the way her arm gets yanked about and the beginnings of a grin she's trying to downplay to a normal smile. )

Hello, Dell. You're right that I'll insist— but thank you for the wishes, as well! This is Gino. I think you'll get along with him just fine.

Hey, Angela. Congratulations!
You seem so happy, I'm glad for you. :)

[cadeuces]

Thank you kindly, Jill!
Nobu's been a welcome reprieve; you should at least come by long enough to meet him.
I think you'll get along wonderfully. 😊

audio; un: swordsss

[swordhardy]

[ The voice that responds is a bit raspy, and colored with good humor, smile easy to detect just from the curl of his tone. Particularly as he laughs, soft noise as he watches dogs run in the backdrop of what looks like could have been slapped across a two-pager in a magazine. Damn, kids. ]

Big house, dogs ... was there a wedding I didn't get invited to?

[ A lilt of teasing, all good-natured. He doesn't know this guy, but certainly knows Angela, and she looks happy. Ain't like Rokurou isn't always up for meeting new people. Sup, man? ]

[efficients]

( the switch to audio is a relief, if for no other reason than to conceal the way gino flushes at the mention of a wedding. )

N — No.

( maybe they do have matching rings tho whats up???? )

Just moving in together. Are you and Angela friends?

[cadeuces]

( Is he really surprised she's once again become one of the top thots in this place that funds them for intimacy? She knows his voice immediately, though, and her own (video) response shows her constant delight.

Always nice to hear from you, Rokurou. )

The boys needed the space, and I was crowding Nobu's flat as it was. And you're never a pain in my ass. Just to set the record straight. Will you be coming by?

Congratulations to you both! This is really exciting!
Your house looks amazing.

[ He's not familiar with Ginoza but Angela and him both look rather happy, so it's nice to see after everything that's happened. ]

[efficients]

Thank you. We're still getting settled in, but it's coming together inside as well.
We'll be able to show more off at the party.
Will we expect you?

[cadeuces]

Thank you kindly, Shigeru; I hope we'll be seeing you...?
If only for a little bit! You at least have to meet Nobu.
I'll explain to him a little. We've cleaned it very thoroughly before moving anything in so it's about as spotless as it will ever be!

( This way Gino knows about the germophobia complications and the reason for his response; they'll still sitting next to each other in the yard, after all. )

[heater]

Congrats.

[ what's this? is he?? actually smiling??? listen, it's hard not to when angela looks so happy okay, and that's the most important part here. also, it's his first time seeing gino so it's nice to finally meet the boyfriend/husband. ]

I know you'll have food, but hope you don't mind me bringing something too.

[cadeuces]

( HE'S SMILIN!!!! she loves... she's only been blessed with this sight a few times before, briefly enough. He's always been attentive to those around him so she isn't terribly surprised he's happy on her behalf. )

You're as kind as ever, Elmott. Thank you. And I wouldn't mind at all— did you have something planned? I'll make sure to leave counterspace for you.

( She's always excited to see him, so it's probably no surprise she's curiously prodding for more info. )

[efficients]

( cute ........... )

Thank you. You're kind to offer.

Please let me know if I can bring anything to make you more comfortable in our home.

[foolishjustice]

During the triple moon? That's...pretty bold.

[cadeuces]

( She has a hand up to her mouth as if he isn't sitting right next to her to hear her say: )

He's a little shy, you know. I thought it best to loosen things up. For everyone, of course, and give people the chance to meet some others they may get on well with.

[efficients]

My hope is that people who struggle with their moons might find some relief in a group gathering.

( relief..........only maybe means orgasms...... )

People who are anti-social need a bit of a nudge. ( a little deprecating smile ) Angela can tell you all about that, I'm sure.

[Ren doesn't recognize Gin, but he can see how happy Angie is and that's all that matters. He gives one of his patented light smiles, expression not changing much but still genuine enough.]

That place looks lovely. Congratulations.

[cadeuces]

( Hello sweet son!! Angela's smile is as sunny as ever to see him, and he can probably about imagine the perk of her ears and the wag of her tail if she had them. )

Will you be coming by, Ren? It's right beside a lake; Tadashi would love it, I'm sure.

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy the place.

[cadeuces]

Thank you kindly, Harry; will you make the party? There'll be fondue to die for and good ale, if absolutely nothing else. ♥

[mingyues]

That is a very nice looking house. What sorts of gifts are traditional for housewarming parties here?

[cadeuces]

Hello, Xiao Xingchen— I hope you've been well! Thank you for the kind words.
You don't need to bring anything, but I can leave some space for another dish if you'd like to bring something easy for others to eat!

( There's no need to spend much money, but she realizes it's easier to offer a smaller gift form than it is to outright refuse. He's a polite young man, after all, from a culture that usually insists. )

No self control, Kogami?

You're still coming, aren't you?
