33 Apocalypse Avenue [evening]

V, beckoned by the occasional stirrings he heard above his head, had finally emerged from his basement.

He was perched on the edge of the sofa in the living room in an attempt to be both unobtrusive and semi-social, and was alternately sifting through his only two sources of literature at the moment: the - appropriately enough - "V" volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which he'd found in an alley the night of his arrival, and the strange packet addressed to him that he had yay handwavey found outside his basement window that morning.

[Open to housemates or invited guests, yay!]

Finishing with a bit of computer work, Logan opened the door to his room and looked at V in surprise as he emerged. "Hey V, I didn't expect to see you up here already."

"It seemed impolite to lurk underground while you're all aware of my presence," he replied somewhat warmly.

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad you changed your mind," he said, smiling. "Is the basement shaping up yet?"

[victimorvillain.livejournal.com]

"It's getting to seem more like my former home," V nodded. Which was true, though it lacked the artistry of the Shadow Gallery. "Are you finding your room comfortable?"

Thursday came down the stairs and crossed over to the kitchen. She poured herself a drink from the fridge. "Evening," she greeted. The mask was a surprise, but either he was just an odd Outlander or he was a fictional character who'd stopped by. Either way, nothing to worry about. She also nodded at Logan.

"And to you," V replied in a low voice, immediately rising as soon as he noticed Thursday and quirking his head curiously. "Are you the sole feminine presence in our household?"

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"As far as I know," she replied. "I'm Thursday Next."

[victimorvillain.livejournal.com]

"A pleasure," he said, bowing slightly. "I'm known as V."

Logan nodded back, cheerful. "Did you and Friday settle in okay?"

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Fine. Friday was out like a light. He's been playing in his room all day. I think I'll have to find a babysitter soon. Do you know if there's a local directory?"

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"There's one online," Logan said. "Seems like they have classifieds too, if you need to take out an ad." He smiled. "Until you find a regular one, I wouldn't mind helping out."

After he finished arranging his garage area, The Tick wandered into the living room, eager to meet his new housemates. "Hello, chums!"

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

That would be the guy in the blue suit. "Evening."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Good evening to you, too! I am The Tick!" Tick said by way of introductions.

[victimorvillain.livejournal.com]

"Good evening," V said quietly. "Are you one of our housemates to whom I've been so rude as to neglect introducing myself?"

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"I am indeed, chum!" Tick said, in a rather booming voice. "I am The Tick!"

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"Evening, Tick. Finding the garage to your liking?" Logan asked.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Logan!" Tick said. "The garage is very nice indeed! I'll need to get some insulation up before the winter, but it works very nicely for me!"

John came in from a day of exploring the town and some of the surrounding area, feeling much more comfortable with his knowledge of his surroundings.

He paused at the figure on the sofa, but only briefly. "Good evening."

[victimorvillain.livejournal.com]

"And to you," V greeted. "Are you yet another of my terribly unacknowledged-as-of-yet housemates?"

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"It looks like it. John Winchester."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, there, chum!" Tick said. "I am The Tick! I live in the garage!"

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

This time John's pause and staring went on a bit longer. "John Winchester," he finally managed.

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Thursday greeted.

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Hi. You've got the other room upstairs, don't you?"
