[ The house is a little bit outside the city, swathed heavily in evergreens, but it's gorgeous. Carla supposes that's what she can't quite get over, because she's struck by it every time they've visited.

They won't be visiting anymore. And even if she has her camera trained up at it with one hand, there's a box under her other arm. She lowers the view to where a little girl with curly blonde hair is near the front door, staring up. A pair of dogs scampering nearby to her.

Another swing in frame, behind them with a borrowed car is a man sorting through the boxes in the trunk.

The last turn is to Carla's own face. She looks apprehensive about this whole process, her eyes flicking back and forth between the little girl and the man. Eventually she sighs, murmuring, ]

Welcome home.

[The camera lowers, about to be shut off as she calls,]

Come on, Victoria, we have a lot of work to do.

[[ooc;

victoria_stay,

unflagging and Carla are making a hideous family this weekend. Fact. Action is fine if anybody wants to housewarm... or gawk.]]

Oh.

I see.

Silly me for having missed that one.

Not that it was any of your business.

[Because you are a creep. Then again so is Flagg, so what exactly is Carla complaining about.]

No. I guess not. I just didn't remember you being married the few times we've talked before.

[Theo is a different kind of creep?]

Hey who's calling?

[Look who just walked up--slightly dusty, and therefore very careful not to get too close to Carla. Very careful.]

Hey, hi!

Hello!

How's... things?

Well, moving's a drag, but that's nothing new. So's cleaning, which is also nothing new. But otherwise, hey, it's great! I mean, this house is perfect.

That's what servants and cultists are for.

[That was said almost absently.]

It really is a nice house though.

If you've got enough to spare, I guess you could put them to work like that, sure.

Thanks! It was a vacation house for a while, but--I dunno, it sort of suits us better anymore. More space, more room, more trees.

What else are they there for?

Trees are nice, I guess. I grew up in cities so... I'm not really used to lots f them.

[Allow Carla to field that one, bluntly,]

Privacy.

The lady has spoken.

Privacy is a concept I've heard of yes.

Only heard of?

[Carla's expression suggests that she would prefer not to find Theo funny, but does right now.]

My father isn't a big believer in it as much as I'd like him to be.

[Is it paranoia if they really are watching you?]

[Theo. Please.]

A family of creeps.

[So is your family, Carla.]

[He starts to protest that one and then stops, thinking it over. His father spies on everyone. His uncle is currently stalking one of his co-workers because he's convinced that said co-worker is the reincarnation of a past lover. His half brother just used his fan base to commit ritual murders for him. His mother is an undead spirit...]

I think my cousin is normal.

[He's not denying it at least?]

Very impressive.

[If he doesn't deny it, she doesn't have to talk about how much he creeps her out.]

[No. No. He doesn't deny it. It's been brought up to him many times over his lifetime. It'd be like denying the sun rising.]

But I guess it depends on what you mean by normal...

That's a used up defense.

I dunno. I mean, I thought it was perfectly normal to have your own cult growing up.

Apparently it's not.

[CREEEEEP]
