Notes:
  • Swap Meet Spreadsheet: Pre-chosen swaps are green. Assigned are blue. There were a few characters that were selected more than once, so objects were assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. If you have any issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the mod team.
  • For objects that might not be immediately apparent as belonging to their owners, there may be a picture or name attached, or players are welcome to have their characters ~just know~ it's for them. Drr drr drr, bb.
  • Party post nights are a great time to come join the chatroom.
  • The topic threads are just suggestions; if you've got somewhere else that your characters simply must be, make your own thread.
Warnings: None yet. Please put warnings up on individual threads.


The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap.

An answer like that from Laura would leave anybody else in a ball of confusion, but Kiden takes it in stride. She didn't expect anything less from Laura.

"I think so," Kiden answers in between sips. "It seems cheap enough and stuff. Tatiana and I were talking about finding a place together. You want to come with us?" Kiden doesn't expect Laura to say yes; it's clear Remy's house has become a safe place for Laura, but what kind of friend would Kiden be if she didn't at least give a serious offer? She waits quietly, watching Laura, for an answer.

Laura freezes there, and her hesitation is obvious everywhere, written plainly on her face in a way it usually isn't -- it's hard to get an emotional reaction out of her, and while this isn't quite that, it's clear something is going on beyond her usual affable indifference.

Because Kiden is her friend, and she likes her, and she doesn't mind living with her, even with how cramped the house was starting to get -- that's never been a problem for her. She didn't mind living with Kiden when they were eating out of dumpsters and sleeping on benches in public parks. Laura does not want Kiden to feel like she's rejecting her and Tatiana, but is unsure how to communicate that.

Because Remy is important to her. While she doesn't think of him and Wanda as family, necessarily -- her family, the way Laura understands it, consists of her mother and those she is genetically related to, like Wolverine, despite the way people she's known have spoken of 'the family you choose' and related their friends that way... Remy is the closest she has ever had to having a father. Living with him and Wanda doesn't feel like she's staying in their house, it feels like --

"It is my home," she says eventually, finally.
