Apartment means penthouse. (perm)

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki hummed softly, "This way! Be careful with those boxes!"

She jingled the keys to her new home, she had to admit she had gone just a small bit overboard on this new home, but she was living with someone new and had intentions of...letting those who needed a home to live here as well- even the homeless man Dion had been living with. So the questions of..well how the heck did she get such a place big enough for people? Dumb luck? No. Chance? No. Posing in Playboy. Goodness no! Though Oki was once a model- she never went towards that part of the industry.

Alright- so the truth about Oki and money?

She's a whiz with money, she's made good investments with the money from her books, her modeling career, and she's saved every penny she could from the age of eight. She is the epedemy of penny pinching guru. But she hated to spend money. She lived as a pauper, for it was..best for her. When you have money, you lose sight of things- important things and live far above your standard- until you drown.

But she, bought a penthouse. Keep this in mind. BOUGHT. She isn't renting, she owned this home at the top of a nice tall building. Why? Why not? Oki had been good.

So. Yes. A penthouse. Four bedrooms with walk in closets and nooks for private studies, two full bath, a decently sized kitchen with a island and fully stocked industrial refrigerator, an enormous living room with bay windows, and of course a balcony, one to look over the city and dream.

Decoration and furniture wise, it was empty, excluding the beds, chairs for the bar counter and a set of heavy and sheer curtains for those gorgeous bay windows in the living room. Otherwise, everything Oki needed was in storage and was currently being pulled out of storage. It would be nice to see a majority of her furniture again, being she took none of Zack's. She left that for Bane, who seemed more than happy about it. Oki's split of the possessions had been all the cookware, everything which was to be given to Dion, a few cuttings from the roses and flowers from the garden, and his cologne.

Unlocking the door, she pushed open the door, "Ah. Home."

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki set down the typewriter she had been carrying, her only prized possession. Mikon ran up and yowled loudly. He liked people. He was a good cat- had a habit of getting in the way though.

"Just in the center of the living room. Nothing fancy, Oki will move it as she pleases. Then we must rescue her books from that truck. Most are very valuable- Oki will be there in a moment, she must check the condition of the promised meal."

Sure enough the penthouse smelled of cooking vegetables and meat of different varieties and many spices..some straight from India and Japan. She was a spice collector..along other things.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki ran down the stairs, grabbed a large box of books and giggled, "It's coming along nicely- should be ready by the time we're done. Perfect ne?"

She laughed, an odd sound after so much sorrow and ran back up the stairs.

Another Day

Dionysus walked back to the penthouse from his day with Mitsuki. They had some fun, well Dion kept up on some promises he made trying to kidnap her, but it was still fun... He got her to smile. Well, he got to see her smile and he wanted to see it more. But alas the day ended early and he was headed back. Once back, cause walking takes longer he saw his crappy held-together-with-love van sitting outside, so he knew it wasn't broke into, but there was a note on the windshield, from his hobo friend. Said he was ok, just stopped by and found no one home...

"Hmm, Ms. Nanda wasn't home?"

Dion headed upstairs and into the penthouse, taking his shoes off at the door. Sure enough no one was home... Well that was ok, twas what T.V was invented for. So he would sit down on the couch slide back lazily and become a couch potato.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Mikon, having been alone for a majority of the day sprang into action. He ran into the room, big blue eyes seeming to gleam. His tail twitching wildly as his nose wrinkled, his claws kneaded the floor and instantly turned into a fluff ball of doom! He wouldn't tolerate not being recognized the minute any of the humans that lived in his home- in his territory! His kingdom! HOW DARE THIS NEW HUMAN NOT RECOGNIZE HIS EXISTENCE!

Running across the penthouse, the Siamese cat sprang onto the back of the couch and with all of his mighty feline fury let out a growl so loud it would have given a dog some competition.

[Leon]

Before Dionysus could even get into a show, something pounced on the back oif the couch, he wasn't sure exactly what it was, but the growl was like a dark omen of the darkness coming to eat Dion's soul. It struck fear into him as he screamed, jumped, and fell off the couch. He scrambled to get to his feet and fight off whatever hell spawn was after him, but...

"KITTY!"

Dionysus lept at Mikon on the back of the couch and over said couch, grabbing blue eyes along the way. He would crash to the floor, on his back saving Mikon from any damage, and snuggle right into his fur.

[Oki W. Nanda]

...Mikon was pleased with the reaction of fear- not so much with the flying pounce this kitten performed but none the less- the blue eyed Prince purred softly and contently with this ideal comfort. He approved of this kitten, his human had done well in choosing one that recognized who was boss so quickly. Though for good measure, he would scratch him at some point today- kittens had to be trained...even ones who smelled like that other one who had a habit of pulling on his elegant tail and nuzzling up to HIS human- after offering a, though delicious, a pittance of cooked tuna. Feh- his tail twitched at the thought. This human better not be the same way or he'd get more than a little clawing to the arm to leg.

Just as possessive as Paddle, but capable of actual physical motion with force- Mikon was jealous lover. He was not the kind of feline to take any term of affection lightly especially around HIS human. But hey- at this moment, there was no threat. Closing his eyes, the cat purred at being snuggled into- affection was respect for him. So was cleaning his litter box but affection was something the four year old Siamese preferred over even the finest of cat food.

[Leon]

"Gonna watch some T.V. and huggle mein kitty~."

The tall Senior said as he moved to infront of the couch to sit down while holding Mikon. He would huggle and pet Mikon while his other hand flipped through the channels trying to find something to watch. As usual it was hard to find a good action drama, that was of course until he came across the movie Gladiator. Yeah he loved that movie. He would sit, be good and weatch mezmorized to Gladiator as he pet Mikon.

[Oki W. Nanda]

It was a good hour before Oki finally showed up. Oki had been out- shopping for food, clothing, and several other things that a new mother to be needed- she sighed opening the door with her foot, and walking into the room. Setting an enormous box of food on the kitchen counter she called into the home, "Little Prince! Dion! Oki is hooome!"

She didn't really wait for either of them and returned out the door and brought several more boxes in- well hidden in one or two were baby books- information books and in the rest was food. clothing, school supplies, several reams of paper, ink, whiteout and oddly- an enormous supply of fabric.

[Leon]

Dion would head into the kitchen when 'Mom' got home. He wanted to see if he got any goodies. He would have a wide smile on his face, and it would appear like his eyes where closed. Dion would tilt his head to the side though when he saw all the stuff.

"Nani?"

Of course, what would you expect he sees all this stuff. The fabric mostly, but the food was what attracted him right now. And wouldn't you know it, a stranger would be standing in the door way using a cane to walk.

"Can I come in?"

[Oki W. Nanda]

"Oh he did find us!" Oki eaisily moved a box out of the way, beamed pure sunshine as she set it in a corner, "Yuanjia, Oki was hoping he'd come by! Dion, find him a chair- yes? Oki will have dinner started very soon!"

And like a flash the woman was putting things away, storing food and leaving quite a bit out being as Dion had been kind enough to leave her a list of things he had wanted food wise for himself. Oki didn't quite know what half of it was but she was more than happy to get them for him.

She peeked out of the kitchen, "Oki's taking suggestions- other wise it's ramen with many many meats and vegetables."

[Leon]

Yuanjia, or Hades as he called himself. Made his way inside. Yuanjia was the family name that moved into his family. Zues's father, and Dion's grandfather. Became Hades's father. He decided to call himself Yuanjia in memory of his brothers death and the family Zack had left behind. Or at least he was slowly learning that wasn't the case. He was still having trouble parting truth with fantasy.

"Ramen would be nice, thank you."

Hades was trying to be polite, it was different from his regular ordering people around. But that was also because he wasn't a god anymore.

"Ya, ya, Ramen~."

Was Dion's reply, as he was usually now a days just like every other normal kid. Hades found that very odd. He remembered the drunken womanizer, and now this... Kid.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki chirped cheerfully and began cooking up her usual storm- though her voice cut through her chipper attitude- one of warning, "Dion, please make sure that Yuanjia is comfortable! Even if that means taking a hot bath and trying on the clean clothes in the closet of his room."

Yes. She had bought him new clothing- NICE, expensive new clothing. Mind you- it all came with a price, though it wasn't as steep as some would think. A tiny smile on her face- if he'd ask, she'd tell. After all, people who suffer mental delusions and have leg injuries which require canes.

Oki began cooking the meat and vegetables along with the ramen- homemade ramen, noodles she had hand made. Not that store bought garbage. She hummed. Mikon looked at this new human, his tail twitched, he'd best recognize who was the Lord of this manor.

[Leon]

((OoC: Sorry for the uber wait.))

Dion helped Hades to the bathroom so he could clean himself and change into some nicer cloths than what he had on, which did make him wonder how, or why. Dion left him there and returned to the kitchen to watch Oki cook, because he liked doing that, though he would grab Mikon and go to cuddling him. Hades would notice Dionysus had his old armor hanging on the wall, and looked at it for a minute. He would then limp back out hoping the food was done, but he would ask.

"Why are you so kind to me? To Dion? We've hurt so many."

The dark brown haired Senior would of answered, but he decided to see what the answer was, he couldn't remember if he himself had asked it before, but he really didn't care, to him Oki was family.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Setting the steaming bowls of homemade ramen infront of the two gentlemen, Oki smiled at them both and then her focus fell on Yuanjia, "For, in more ways than one, you two are Oki's family. And Oki knows when family is on their own, it's not always good for them."

She laughed, setting her own bowl aside to cool, "Plus, Oki wouldn't mind having another handsome man in her home! So blessed is Oki to have such good luck! Which reminds her!"

Settling a few random glasses infront of them, "Oki has much to celebrate. Especially if Yuanjia agrees to stay. So, Gentlmen, what would you like to drink? Oki has wines, teas, flavored waters, soda, milk, orange juice, koolaid," she giggled and waited.
