Who: Arthur get your ass over here
What: Penthouse antics
Where: the area in crystalden with the more high end apartments
When: 3/12

[A week. It took her a whole damn week of looking, but she finally found the perfect place to live. Cynthia didn't even know how she managed to find this place. It wasn't on her map and the concierge of her hotel didn't even know about it.

Apparently luck was on her side...maybe.

So here she was. Orion Apartments. Getting ready to step into her new penthouse.]

Things are definitely looking up today.

[She's not really used to people giving up that easily.]

Well listen, it took me an entire week just to be able to find a decent place to live. Plus the people here aren't exactly the most helpful people in the world. So I'm honestly willing to share...

[ the i'm not - is implied but not said aloud. ]

I'd be willing to help you find other accommodations.

[ there's too much glass. it's too high risk, too many tangents and vectors he can't control. this place is wild enough as it is, the last thing that arthur wants to do is have a place that's too accessible. ]

But only to that extent.

[ arthur hasn't gotten her name and he doesn't care too. no point in finding attachments with projections. ]

Well I did call in first so technically I own the place.

Then I'm sure you'll have no further problems.

[ he aught to feel bad, but there's no way he can keep what he does a secret. arthur needs his privacy like a fish takes to water. he needs to know that he can use the pasiv safely and do his research in peace. she seems harmless, but arthur isn't ready to let go a lot of his defenses. ]

You'll manage without me.

Oh I know I can manage.

I've lived in much worse conditions during my travels and this place is paradise compared to what I had to deal with. But honestly, what I'm more worried about it you.

Like I said, Crystalden isn't exactly the nicest place in the hallow and I'd feel bad knowing you'd have to go out and look for another place, which is a hard task mind you, when I'm already offering you my perfectly good extra room here.

[ crystalden isn't the nicest place in the hallow? arthur's dreamed up riots and skyscrapes built to collapse. paradoxes and mazes. arthur's been in dreams with mal ( he'll insist, because she still thinks she's lovelier than most people card her for - that cobb's idea of mal was never accurate ). they're unfriendly, but hardly hostile - or perhaps it's simply because arthur has yet to figure out why he's only able to perceive and not create, like most other dreams.

it's futuristic. cold but not at all vicious. ]

I have no intention of accepting that room. Given the circumstances, it may be more convenient for you to just enjoy the flat as it is.

[ he says coolly. arthur searches for something. an excuse, a lie. something practiced. ]

I'm not fond of the decor.

Are you absolutely sure? Because I've been apartment hopping all week and this is the best place by far.

If it's a matter of privacy, I'm not going to be here most of the time anyway.
