[ the costumes get written off easily because that just seems to be so typical for Vera. maybe she girl liked cosplay, or just wanted to have something on-hand for more parties? who even knew.

as for Vic's items, she'll just leave the t-shirt in a pile on the bottom of the closet with a few of those other out-of-place items. they can be dealt with later.

the nightgown would probably be more appropriate but there's still a risk of vomit so Yin opts to return with a plain t-shirt in hand. ] Here.

You got any popcorn in this place? Because if you're staying up, I'm putting the TV on.

Pantry.

[She points with one hand while she wriggles into the t-shirt.]

Maybe I should move back to the couch...

Yeah probably. [ Yin starts to prepare the popcorn. in between waiting she finds herself thrumming on the counter with her metal fingers. ]

[Meanwhile, Vera staggers to her feet, trying to get a head start on the popcorn. She's able to walk, at least, but balance isn't coming very easily right now.]

Whenever you make it, can you fire up whatever fancy set you have?

[ provided Vera doesn't bust her ass first, that is. ]

[Ass successfully not busted, Vera curls up on the couch with a heavy blanket over her. She grabs the remote at her side, turning on the 70" flatscreen mounted on the opposite wall, filling the room with the dulcet sounds of a nature documentary she happened to have been watching before.]

What do you wanna watch...?

You got Netflix? I was listening to reruns of Drunk History while I was working.

Drunk History?

[When Yin gets to the couch, she'll offer the remote to her so she can pick out what she wants.]

Exactly what it sounds like. Get a bunch of history experts plastered, have them tell stories about how shit really went down, with actors and comedians playing it out. [ Yin explains as she fills up the bowl and adds on lots of salt or butter, depending on what's handy. she puts it down first before grabbing the remote and then staring at the TV almost dumbfounded. ]

—fuck, I don't know why I'm even surprised how big this is. [ five million channels too probably. ]

[Well she didn't need all of them but this was the only package that came with all six HBOs.]

Okay, that actually sounds hilarious.

[She'll just grab a handful of popcorn and get cozy.]

What? I like movies. This is the next best thing.

You could get a job at a theater, like me. Get yourself into all kind of movies and not have to overcompensate to do it. [ but whatever. she finds the app and waits for it to boot up. ]

Yeah but then I'd have to work. I'd rather just watch movies in my home theater.

[She taps a bit at her phone, and the lights go dark, the room now lit by nothing but the bright red logo on the screen.]

[ she can't help but roll her eyes. ] Ugh. If you pull the rich brat card on me again, I'm bailing. Deal? Just... watch the show.

[ hopefully Vera enjoys the drunken retelling of Chicago stories, like Lincoln, and how Al Capone was a syphilitic idiot. ]

I'll... try my best.

[She really doesn't want Yin to leave her alone right now, so she'll just keep quiet, watching the show with a small smile on her face. About halfway through the episode, she decides to get comfortable, pulling a blanket over her and resting her head gently on Yin's left shoulder.]

[ that would impair Yin's ability to munch on popcorn... if she cared enough to stop moving her left arm just because Vera's getting cozy. too cozy. ] You need a pillow or something?

[ honestly, Vera falling asleep is the best thing that can happen right now. ]

Uh huh. [Her words are soft and quiet. While she's not quite ready to close her eyes, the animal part of her brain is telling her that getting as comfortable as possible is a great idea.]

[ the heiress sounds so ... peaceful. or halfway there. this is probably the quietest she'll ever be by Yin's own doing, so she doesn't dare move the disturb her.

instead she sinks further back into the cushions and turns the volume on the show down a few notches. ] Alright. Just relax...

Okay...

[She isn't going to fight it now, she's drunk, tired, and more comfortable than she has any right being.]

...Hold me.

[ sorry, Vera. couldn't hear you over the sound of stuffing another handful of popcorn into her face. that metal hand better not get gummed up by this. ] Hwuh?

I'm... cold.

[ she let out a sigh. ] You're the one with the blanket.

[ Yin sets the bowl down on the floor first. then she reaches her left arm down around Vera's back while the other moves across the pull the covers in tighter. ]

Mn...

[She squirms, shifting her weight until her head is under Yin's chin, against her collarbone. It's not really the same. The smell is different, the feeling is different, but that warmth is there. That might be what she's missed the most over these last couple of weeks. Arms wrap tight around the taller girl's torso, and the heiress finally starts to close her eyes.]

Hey, I'm not — [ the objection is kind of moot. being supportive is one thing, but Yin is no one's pillow! not unless they're family (or basically family) anyway...

she sighs and just shifts a bit to make herself more comfortable. later she'll grumble and wonder how the hell she got roped into this in the first place. right now? the show's not over yet and things could be less comfortable in the long run. ] Don't expect me to carry your skinny ass to bed.

[Sorry Yin, but the cozy heiress has already started to drift off, nestled against the crook of your neck. Her breathing slows, and her grip loosens as sleep finally begins to take her.]

[ that's just swell. guess they'll both just have to wake up in the morning on the couch with cricks in their necks at this rate. but not if Yin can manage to sneak out in the morning first. ]
