The portal has been out of commission for a few days, while it was being dismantled, moved, and reassembled in its new location. A few days is hardly a long time without seeing each other by their old standards, but now...

Anyway, it's obviously back online when Enzo's voice suddenly calls "Knock, knock!" from the intercom speaker.

Dani looks around with a semi-critical eye, taking it all in. "Very nice," she says finally. "So what's it like living on your own?"

"A little weird. Especially at night. It'll be better now that I know you're right upstairs.

"I'm not totally alone, though." He has a surpriiiise...

"Oh?"

"Remember that T-Minus chat system, and how I didn't want to get it while I was still at the Academy 'cause I thought it might digitize as live data?"

"Yeah..."

Enzo whistles sharply. "Minus! C'mere!"

A chiming noise, like an incoming instant message, comes from the bathroom, followed by a small, green, levitating nautiloid creature. It zips over to them and pings curiously at Dani.

Dani laughs, reaching up to touch or pet the little creature. "Hi there!" she greets it.

Chiming again, Minus extends its tentacles and prods back at Dani's fingertips.

"Isn't he cute? I'm kinda goin' with 'he' until I find out different, but code knows how you tell. Don't suppose you know how to sex a nautilus?"

She shakes her head with a grin. "Not a clue," she answers. "Never really came up in my biology classes."

"You call that an education?" He grins back.

"Okay, so you've seen the new apartment and the new pet. Want to check out the new sector?"

Dani nods. "Lead the way."

On the way out, he points out where he has left a spare key. "In case you want to come through while I'm out.

"Oh, and if we don't let the gang throw us their own engagement party, they threatened to help decorate. I'm not quite sure what they meant by that, but I don't think I want to risk it."

"Awesome; thanks." Not that Dani would ever have ulterior motives for that; oh, no.

At this revelation Dani's eyes widen in what might be fear. "Oh- no. I don't think I want to either."

"We'll just have to put up with another party, then."

"I think I'll be able to find the strength to manage it."
