Who: Jolyne, Carly, and Chloe
Where: Chloe's apartment
When: Valentine's Day, y'all
Summary: Two idiots decide to make terrible cocktails and post them on Staryutube, poor Carly is dating them for some reason.
Rating: PG-13 for Jolyne and Chloe's mouths, lbr.

Jolyne had been bouncing back and forth between the house boat and Goldenrod for ages now and the worst part is that, well, they hadn't really had a chance for all three of them to be in the same place. Which needed to be rectified, clearly, and what a better time than on Valentine's and in Chloe's new apartment? Or that's what Jolyne had told herself.

She's at least been pretty okay with her outfit of choice, a black leather jacket wrapped around her and the ever present Lilith pressed against her side to be a space heater. It made travel a little awkward with her along with Carly on Tear but at the end of the day it didn't really matter.

A grin plays on black painted lips, stealing a quick cheek kiss from her fiance once they get to the door of the apartment and knocking on it. "Chloooooe~ Open up, babe, we're here~" Maybe don't put that sing-song voice on, Jolyne.

Chloe isn't nervous. Nah. What's there to be nervous about? Nothing. It's not like this is a diet housewarming party (the real thing will come eventually) or the first time she's meeting Carly. No biggie.

Okay, maybe she's already thrown back a shot or two in anticipation of this evening- to break the ice. A pre-ice breaking sort of thing, you know? Something like that.

Chloe feels a bit like one of those vampires in Twilight in the way she flies off the sofa and makes it to the door in record time when she hears the knock on the door. It swings open just as Jolyne finishes the last note and Chloe is all grins and peace signs.

"Sup! It's tits out, huh? I mean. Not literally, but- the weather. Yeah."

Carly, in contrast, is wearing a far more full covering sweater alongside her winter coat, carrying her camera equipment over her shoulder.

"Jolyne sweaters like this are part of why you're still cold..." is something that Chloe may have heard muttered ever so quietly before the door opened. She herself also has a pokemon with- namely a far larger 'dog'.

Maybe dog? Horse gets lonely.

Horse is also thus capable of Blocking Carly- "Heyy~!" The woman pokes around Horse, beaming. "Hello! I finally get to meet you in person! Or at all, actually, oh god..."

Excuse her, she's just realizing this really is the first time at all. "Jolyne how did we take this long, it's been weeks since you told me about this..." She's officially a little mortified.

Chloe has been stewing on the fact it's her first time meeting Carly, but when it's verbalized by Carly herself it definitely causes a few butterflies as she's reminded. Of course she's seen her in pictures and on the gear (never mind the fact Chloe hasn't had the balls to respond to anything Carly's posted) but seeing her in person, it's hard not to stare a little.

Or a lot. At both of them. It turns out Chloe hadn't been wrong about tits in any sense of the word, because. Wowza. Suddenly she's regretting the basic jeans and hoodie combo, but dammit she'd been so wrapped up in moving into her apartment anything else seemed like so much work.

Speaking of, "Yeah, yeah, get your asses in here before they chip off." The inside isn't much, but it's hers and it's home. Off to the side is slightly elevated area with steps leading up to where her bedroom is, the door open into a pretty basic bedroom- her focus has been into the living area.

Once in, Chloe turns to Carlyand holds her fist up for a bump, before realizing that might be... kind of informal, given the Situation, so she sorta changes it mid-gesture to a one-armed hug and an awkward punch on the shoulder while shooting Jolyne a very panicked "god I'm an idiot" look.

"The coat though..." Ah, but anyway. "A-And it's good work!! I get a lot done, and it's going to mean lots of time off!! Hauhhh, maybe I really should look at Sevii instead..."

Ahem-hem though. "Hee, yes, thank you..~" Let's actually get inside, hang up some coats and things. "I like the industrial look..~ It's nice to see what kinds of places are available here, this would have cost a fortune in Domino..." she sighs, before noticing Chloe's fist. "Eh- Ah-"

And...just as she starts lifting her own for an awkward return, it's a hug punch!? "Eh! Ahh!!"

Horse has now joined the strange hug, mostly with their face. "Yes, you're here too- aaah-"

JOLYNE HELP

There is. So much happening, and Chloe is damn near about to defenestrate herself if she doesn't get more alcohol or persim into her body ASAP. The hug ends just as confusingly as it began and by this point, Munchies the Snorlax has finally pulled himself out of his dorito eating TV binge enough to notice the company.

So, thankfully, he bumbles over and accidentally knocks Chloe to the floor with his rotund roundness and that finishes off the awkward moment pretty squarely.

"I have ideas, too," comes Chloe's voice from the floor, where she's sort of folded her arms and is staring up at the ceiling as if she's well and truly accepted that this is just how life is going to be. Resigned. Dead inside. Her arm lifts and points towards the kitchen area, where she's set up a plethora of different boozes. "Please, just go drink."

"Drinks!" Carly was somehow saved from being bowled over by a snorlax entirely because she had to avoid two dogs. "Drinks sound great! Yes!" .... "Are uh, are you okay there though, here let me help you up..."

That's right Chloe she's offering a hand.

The awkward may not be over yet.

Jolyne had better get those cocktail mixer ideas started.

It takes a lot of willpower not to let out a groan of embarrassment, but Chloe manages not to as she grudgingly accepts Carly's hand so she can haul herself up. Chloe shoots Munchies a look and he seems to get the hint and the Snorlax begins sort of herding the other Pokemon over to the TV.

Chloe dusts herself off, avoiding eye contact with Carly for a moment, before she throws her hands up and lets out a laugh. "Alright come on, let's try this shit again," she says as she throws her arms around Carly in a less awkward, more relaxed hug.

"It's good to finally meet you, girl." Pulling away, Chloe takes a second to take her in. "I've heard a shit ton about you- all good things, all good things. How's life?" as she spoke, she kinda gestures towards the kitchen and makes her way over there, peering over Jolyne's shoulder to see what she's concocting.

"Hooh!!" Much less awkward! "Sure thing~!" She'll even hug back. Nice.

Once that's over, Carly just beams more comfortably in turn. "I could say the same..!" And as she adjusts her glasses- "And will~! The first thing I wanted to know when Jolyne started was what took so long to say something, hehehe~" Ahem. "Well, it's 'going' I guess..? Jolyne has definitely been the better part of it," she whispers almost conspiratorially, though she isn't making a great effort for Jolyne to not hear.

"Mnh, I'm pretty glad I found some stable work even if it's in a cold wet cave though. I'm wondering how long it'll be 'stable' though, I mean, eventually I'll run out of cave to map right?"

... AH- "Oh-! But enough of me, what about you huh~? I hear plenty from Jolyne, but now's your chance to butter yourself up~!"
