[When the camera first comes on, it's not focused on much at all. Perhaps a wall, maybe the edge of a mattress, the view of a living room beyond. Anyone who's been there might recognize it as Meyer's apartment, but it's nondescript.

Then a shoulder moves into view of the camera as someone rolls over on the bed. A decidedly naked shoulder. A decidedly naked female shoulder.]

What...

[There's a long pause. Someone catching this accidental video might first think that Meyer has a girl over, and pat him on the back for it, but no, several seconds later, it becomes very obvious that that's not the case as a burst of furious cursing utters forth, first in Yiddish, then in Russian, and then, finally...]

Are there any women around I can talk to? I've got a problem.

[[Yes, Meyer has been genderswapped for this lovely weekend, and thus, responses will come from recognize_a_curse  (no, I was not feeling particularly clever about names) for the duration! Please do bug him.]]

[It's dark out, but as Rain moves to pick something up it becomes clear that she's in her greenhouse. There are candles lit and she's wearing a long, loose, comfortable looking sort of dress. She's singing something very softly under her breath, too lightly for it to be clearly picked up. She moves to the side, settling down onto her small fleece throw with a cupcake with a candle on it.

She's quiet for a moment,then closes her eyes, face looking calm and hopeful by the light of the candles. After a long moment she blows out the candle and smiles.]



[ooc: Today is Rain's birthday and she's taking a quiet moment to celebrate.]

[ The feed clicks on to a familiar sight. 'Li' being 'Li' -- placidly preoccupied with cooking. A spread of ingredients -- a slab of dough, grated vegetables, minced beef -- are in bowls on the kitchen counter. But it's apparent that the kitchen isn't his. It's too large, too well-appointed. But Li opens shelves, takes out pots and utensils, as if he's familiar with the setting. Moving to the fridge, he cracks it open to peer inside. ]

[ And scowls. ]

[ Pitching his voice to a yell -- ] You forgot the milk. Again [ -- he reaches inside to withdraw two eggs. ] One simple task. And she can't do that right...

[ Such a sweet-tempered hubby. Whatever dish he's making is surely filled with love. Halfway to the counter, he nearly trips over something lying on the floor. Glowering, he stoops to collect a child's colorful softball. ] ...It's like living in a damn toybox... [ Grumblegrumble. Hopefully he's not this charming all the time. (Spoiler: he is.) ]

[ (Ain't family life grand?) ]

[ OOC: Hit with Family Day! Mad Hatter, July, Yin and Hei are a merry (dysfunctional :|) fambly bunch. Threadjacking is mightily encouraged! Go forth and spread chaos! ^^ ]
