Neighbors Meme

You're just going about your day and you hear a knock at the door.

Anybody can be neighbors here!

Post with your character, canon and any necessary prefs or info

Pick a prompt! Top Level starters encouraged but not required! Alternately, what's your character doing before being interrupted and answering the door? Specify if you're okay with assumed CR (A neighbor you already know!) or not (A neighbor you've just met!)

Players who comment are neighbors dropping in for...some reason or another! Are they expected or not? Need a cup of sugar? Just there to be annoying?

Thread away!

Is this yours? - You found something or maybe it was delivered to your place by mistake. Better return it…

First meeting - Maybe they’re a new neighbor or maybe your schedules just don’t line up, but you’re running into this person (literally?) for the first time.

Stopping in! - Don’t tell me you’re the intrusive wacky neighbor... Or maybe you’re just trying to be neighborly. Are you coming in through the window??

Complaint - Weird smell? Too much noise? Too much “noise?” Go over and do something about it!

Party! - It’s a good old neighborhood get together!

Gossip - You just GOTTA drop that tea! Or are YOU the one being talked about…?

Something else - What else you got???

New Orleans was both exactly what Eddie had expected and also so much more. Sure, living in what had once been a tenement house -one of six apartments over what was now a bar and nightclub- wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but Eddie loved it. Not just because the owner cut a portion off his rent when she could schedule him for a night or two at the club, usually when she couldn't book another performer, and that was... well it wasn't the same without the band, and it wasn't the same as the regular gig at the Hideout had been.

But it was a regular -or regular enough- gig and he'd take what he could get.

It had been a performance night the night before, which meant he was just a little hungover and waiting for the coffee to finish percolating when he heard the knock at the door, wincing as it made his left temple throb. He debated trying to ignore it, but, well, knowing your neighbors was usually a good thing, and there was a good chance it was his landlady anyway, so he poured a second mug of coffee before heading to the door, swinging it open and brandishing one of the cups, "G'morning. What can I help you with?"

[ooc: Modern AU, everyone-lived AU, whatever works]

Pixel liked the building because it was quiet, or reasonably so, and because everyone in it worked odd jobs and odder hours, so no one was going to notice or mention her own irregular schedule.

More than that, as the building's longest-standing resident, the owner had -with her permission- appointed her de facto building manager, which was fine, it gave her a break on the rent and let her be helpful -like she liked doing- but in a much more physical way than her usual.

Which was why, having been warned that a new resident was coming in, she was expecting the knock at her door, and it was easy to shrug off the fact that it was 10pm, it wasn't like she was sleeping anyway, and went to open her door, "Hey, you the new resident?"

[ Just a young girl in her late teens, living on her own. While she has her own fair share of visitors (some shady), she was often in and out of the apartment. People who knew her or saw her around would note she was very friendly and helpful (some might even say she's a busybody, but only if they're being mean).

While she was puttering about in the evening, she did find herself leaving the apartment on a mission. A mission to visit a neighbor as she knocks 'pon her neighbor's door. ooc: alternatively runs into them in the hall/elevator/wherever! Or come visit her before she leaves, all good. ]

[Pauline is just getting home from school in the evening, having had another long afternoon of running various errands for classmates. Her dad is traveling for work again, so it's another night alone.

Between her groceries, her school bag and her various textbooks and files, she's really fumbling to get her keys in the lock...]

Come on, come on...

[info / permissions , assumed CR is okay!]

[Something stirs at ground-level and should Pauline look down, she would spy a black and white striped snake inching along the wall next to the front door. It's short for a snake, only a couple of feet long, but a few inches around. ]

[ It darts its tongue out and speaks in a gruff voice. ]

Hey...hey kid...got a minute?

Please won't you be my...
