"We took the liberty of providing each of you with a wardrobe that fits this quest," the woman said, "and we have taken your individual styles into consideration so don't look so annoyed Evelyn. Everything else that you might need has been provided. Good luck and happy questing." With that she left, her unusually long legs carrying her back into the building before anyone could really ask questions. "Alright, which of you is Miss Eva?" One of the movers asked, "We've got a car for you and the directions to your new house. These two trucks are for you and the other one is for Miss Dorothy Gale, whichever of y'all that is." Evelyn stepped forward and followed the man around the truck to see what she would be driving. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't even close to pretty, but it seemed to work just fine so she signed his paper and made herself comfortable in the driver's seat. Her rear-view window was almost entirely blocked by boxes but otherwise all the mirrors seemed to be properly aligned to her preferences. She waited for the others to get in and handed Emilie the directions. "Shotgun means guidance," she said as she started the car.

"I don't remember calling shotgun" Emilie replied with a grin, getting into the passenger seat beside Evelyn and looking carefully at the directions and a map that seemed to have been printed from the internet. DG, being the responsible adult, signed the rest of the paperwork before heading over to Emilie's lowered window. "I'll see you lot at school in a few weeks. Try not to get into too much trouble before I get there." She shot a look at the three of them and went back to her truck. She got into the passenger seat and she and a pair of moving men drove off to her new house. Emilie watched them go before turning to look back at the truck full of their stuff. "I assume they'll follow us if we drive off, right?" She asked, unsure. Emilie had never lived away from the Hub before. She had no idea what moving house was like.

"They probably will," Evelyn said as she pulled out of the parking lot, "but regardless of whether they do or not they'll get there and we'll have more boxes to unpack than we remember packing. Which in this case would be one I guess, but nevermind that." The car ride was quiet for a while before Evelyn suddenly said, "dibs on the biggest room by the way." "No way!" Marco almost shouted from the back seat, leaning forward and sticking his head between Emilie and Evelyn, "you will get that room over my dead body." "What part of assassin do you not understand?" Evelyn asked, following Emilie's directions and making a sharp right onto a friendly neighborhood street. The houses were all light colors, beige, white, light blue, light green, and all had sizable lawns and porches. "We're number 6302," Evelyn said, slowing down until she found the house. She pulled into the driveway and turned the car off. The house was two stories with a steeply gabled roof and a chimney. Pulling the key from her folder out of her pocket, Evelyn unlocked the bright blue door and stepped inside. It was a very open house, but perhaps that was the lack of furniture, with a large living room attached to a very nice looking kitchen. A staircase led upstairs to the second floor and downstairs to the basement. Hedging her bet on the upstairs, Evelyn went off in search of the biggest bedroom. Marco was only a few steps behind her and together they stumbled up the stairs. Evelyn won the battle to the top of the stairs but Marco won the race down the hallway and found the room first. "I found it it's mine!" He panted, a stupid grin spreading across his face. "I hate you," Evelyn snapped, taking the room next door, which probably had the exact same floorspace.

Emilie stood in the open doorway and stared after them, utterly bemused. Very calmly, she mounted the stairs and found the last bedroom. It may or may not have had the same layout as the other two, but it was a lot bigger than her bedroom at HQ. She grinned broadly. Before she could marvel at her new room, however, the sound of the moving truck, or at least the thoughts of the drivers, could be heard from downstairs and she hurried back outside to greet them. A large squishy sofa met her on the path and she was forced to jump out of the way. The back of the truck was packed with boxes and bits of furniture and suitcases and all sorts. Emilie wondered how much of it was hers.

"Alright, where do you want this?" the movers asked as Evelyn made her way back down the stairs. "I-um, put it over there," Evelyn said, pointing vaguely to the living room. She turned to Emilie and made a confused face, "I have no idea what stuff we have how should I know where to put it?" She asked as she made her way back to the car to help bring boxes in. Thankfully, somebody had taken the time to label the boxes and label them well. There were boxes labeled Kitchen-cutlery, Kitchen-bowls and plates, Kitchen-cups, Evelyn-general, Evelyn-clothing, Evelyn-office, Marco-general, et cetera et cetera. Once they were all sorted inside the house and the moving vans were empty, the three stood in front of several unpacked boxes with only a slight idea of what was in each. "Ok, since we're sleeping here, I would suggest that we unpack our individual rooms and our things first then unpack the house after, possibly tomorrow," Evelyn said.
Four hours later, she stood in the center of her newly unpacked room. The clothes, which were surprisingly exactly her style, were all either hung in her closet or folded in her dresser, the books were sorted on a shelf and on her desk, her backpack was packed with notebooks, pencils, and pens, her "personal items" were all placed around the room in aesthetically pleasing ways, and the boxes were all collapsed in a pile by the door. Satisfied, she made her way next door to Marco's room and nearly tripped over a box. The room looked like a disaster. Marco sat in the middle of the floor surrounded by half unpacked boxes and was reading through a comic book. "Marco!" "I'm cleaning! I promise!" He said, waving his hand. Evelyn barely ducked in time as the boxes started unpacking themselves and a poster flew past her head to tape itself to the wall. "It has to stop every several minutes because I get tired," he explained. "If you just did it like a regular person you could be done by now," Evelyn sighed. "I don't like conforming to regular person standards," Marco said, flipping a page. Evelyn rolled her eyes and went to check on Emilie.

"Come in." Emilie called as she heard Evelyn's mind coming towards her down the hall. She was standing in the middle of her room waving her arms around. Her boxes were unpacking themselves and the contents were finding their places. She only had one left by the time her door opened. "I was going to go downstairs in a minute to arrange the furniture." She informed Evelyn as the last item, a beautiful old leather-bound copy of The Wizard Of Oz, slotted itself into place on her bookshelf. She turned, picked up her flattened boxes and looked at Evelyn. "Want to come help me work out where they should go? I've never lived outside HQ before, I might get it wrong..."

"Am I the only one who unpacked manually like a regular person?" Evelyn asked, mostly to herself, "Yeah, no problem, I have some interior design experience so I can show you any basics you don't already know." She followed Emilie downstairs and looked around, trying to get an idea of what she was working with. The furniture included a couch, some assorted coffee and end tables, some lounge chairs, and a rug. There was also some random artwork and a lot of lamps. With the help of Emilie's incredibly convenient abilities, they were able to arrange it all nicely pretty quickly, and by the time they were finished, Marco had come down to help. "I'll set up the basement," he said, realizing that his help was unneeded at this point, "are y'all okay with a man cave?" He ducked just in time to dodge Evelyn's attempt to smack him upside the head. "Make sure you set up the tv correctly, I want to watch some shows tomorrow, and if you turn that room into your 'man cave' I'll tell your sister just what you use the magic she taught you for," Evelyn called after him, shaking her head. "That kid will be the death of me," she sighed to Emilie.

Emilie, having never come across the term before, had no idea what a man cave was. However, she saw the image so clearly in Marco's mind that he might have stuck a picture of it to the inside of her eyelids. "What else is there to do?" She asked, standing in the middle of the room and turning a full circle to admire their handiwork.

"Not much I guess," Evelyn said, "we can go grocery shopping tomorrow, but other than that I think we're good. There are a few random details that I'm sure will become apparent as we live here but nothing big is left. We can do all our shopping tomorrow and meet the neighbors and such. On Monday [[OOC: it's Saturday]] we'll head over to the school and begin our classes. I don't know about you but I'm feeling pretty tired, I think I'm just going to go study my cover and go to bed."
Marco, on the other hand, was everything but tired. He finished setting up the TV in about ten minutes and had randomly arranged the rest of the furniture around the room. Now he was sitting on the couch sorting through the assorted video games that the QA had provided to go with the gaming system they had also graciously provided. Best quest ever. He thought to himself as he pulled out a few of his favorites. "Hey guys!" He called, "Anybody wanna play some games?"

Emilie couldn't hear him at all, but she was so used to gleaning information from everyone else now that she could pull out Marco's question from Evelyn's mind without even realising she was doing it. She'd reflected on this ability some time ago and wondered whether or not Limbo had intentionally taken the one sense she didn't really need. It can't have been a coincide, surely. Still, it didn't really matter. It had happened, intentionally or otherwise. "Um, what kind of game?" She asked, dubiously, not entirely sure Marco could even hear her.
