The apartment doesn't have a name yet....

Who: Tim Drake, Blaine Anderson, Cass Cain, Conner Kent, Tavi, and everyone else who was invited by them! We don't have a cool apartment name, yet.
When: Friday, March 23rd, starting at 7:00pm.
Where: The apartment in Sector 10.
Summary: It's a "Breaking Down The Walls" party!
Warnings: Will update as needed.

Tim had woken up a few days ago and realized that they didn't have enough room for everyone. Cass had her room, and Tim had a room, but everyone else was sleeping on a cot or on the couch, and that just wasn't right. Both Blaine and Tavi deserved their own rooms, and so did Conner, now that he was here; it was actually his arrival that spurred on the need that Tim had to get everyone a room. His friends deserved more then a couch.

While they had been squatting in the apartment, in the beginning, by this point Tim had been paying for the apartment and everything else that was needed in it. And while he had made a deal with the man in charge of the warehouse down in sector 11, he had used his money to buy up the apartments on either side of their own. So, when he went and asked the owner if it would be okay to enlarge their apartment, and the owner didn't care, as long as they paid for everything... well. That meant it was time to have some fun.

So, while Conner could punch through walls if he wanted to, Tim bought up mallets and hammers for everyone else. They were going to have a party and break down some walls.

[ooc: Action tagging is a go! Eat, drink, and knock those walls down!]

Lois keeps bringing more food every time she comes over, so. It's always a party when she's here. [He joked, going into the kitchen and pulling out the sandwiches.]

She's good, though. Even if this is some alternate version of her.

[Blaine looked thoughtful as he helped with the food.] Sometimes I wonder if there's an alternative version of me that could show up in this place some day.

Well... technically, you are an alternate version to every other person from your home, here. [He nods, arranging them on a tray.]

So, you are not the same Blaine that Kurt knows, for example.

[Blaine shakes his head] Oh, no. Don't you go start explaining how this stuff works, it's just going to make my head hurt.

Come on, it's pretty simple, and I can explain it really easily! [He pouts a little at that.]

Here. I can explain it with these sandwiches! Okay. Now, this sandwich, which is... [He looked at it for a second.] Okay, tuna. Pretend you are this tuna sandwich, and I am this cheese sandwich. Kurt is this ham sandwich, and Cass is this turkey sandwich. And then we'll add... Franz, and he is the bologna sandwich.

[He lines up the sandwiches.] So, you can see that the tuna and the ham have the same white bread, and the turkey and the cheese have the same wheat bread. The bologna has some kind of weird crusty bread. Now, we put the tuna and the ham together, because they share the same past, as in the past you and Kurt have back home, and the same kind of bread for the sandwiches. And since the turkey and the cheese sandwiches have the same bread, me and Cass have the same past.

[Now, he picks up all the sandwiches and puts them on the same platter] This plate is Siren's Port. We all get pulled here, so we end up in the same place, with the same kind of memories as the people who have the same kind of bread. But now, since we're all in one place, the bread doesn't matter as much. What matters is that you are not a ham sandwich, and Kurt is not tuna. These little differences are what makes you alternate versions of the people that you know back home. Because if you were the same person? Then you and Kurt would both be ham sandwiches.

[Blaine just kind of raises his brow.] How do you know we're not both ham sandwiches?

When the Port pulled us back home he had the same experiences. We're caught up to each other at the exact same moment. Why couldn't we be the same versions of each other we had back home?

[After a moment] The thing that gives me a headache is the possibility that I was cheating on Kurt with Kurt. [He grins a bit, because that just sounds so crazy. Even the sandwich metaphor sounds crazy.]

Because you both can't be ham sandwiches. The thing is, if you were caught up with each other? That's something different. That's like... me and Conner have the same exact past. We know what the other has done, to a certain point. But because I was pulled here earlier then he was, we are now different people.

From what we've seen with others, time stands still, back home, when you come here. Did you and Kurt come to the port at different times? Not when you were pulled back home, but when you first showed up here.

[Tim grins.] Yeah, well. You might not want to tell him that.

[Blaine shrugs.] Okay, fine. We might be different people, but that doesn't change anything about how I feel about the Kurt who is here or the one who is home... Or Rachel, or even Finn.

I never said it changed how you felt! [He laughs.] The feelings you have will always remain the same, it doesn't matter what timeline you're in, or what universe.

[Grins.] That's a good thing.

[Blaine just sort of shrugs, his relationship with Kurt is still so messed up.]

So I'm glad you guys are finally getting more space. If you had anymore strays you'd have to open a shelter.

[Poor bro ;A; ]

Me, too. Cass might be staying out a little more, but that still left us with a few too many people on cots. And that's not really fair.

I'll be staying with Chuck too, so at least that will free up some space when I'm not here.

You're allowed to keep two rooms. One of the rooms will be yours for whenever you might need it. [Smiles.] In case anything happens.

Anything happens? [raising brow slightly]

In case the entire city burns down except for this apartment, and you need to have a place to stay, away from the raging cannibals. [Nods.] You know. Just in case.

[Blaine laughs] Oh, okay. In case of zombies. I know where to run.

Cannibals and zombies, yup. [Grins.] And maybe relationship problems, too.

[He pauses.] Look, just knowing you two, I know that you and Kurt might try to have a relationship again. And you should. But, maybe not moving in together again would be smart. Not that you have to take my advice or anything. But just know that you can be here for whatever, whenever.

[Blaine nods at that] I know. I've been thinking that same thing. If we end up back together, I'm going to stay where I am for now.

Sometimes people just... need to stay apart. I know I wouldn't want to move in with someone I was dating right away. Being here messes some things up, but we're still young. We're not supposed to worry about moving in with whoever we're dating, right away.

[Blaine nods and smiles a bit.] That's what I'm thinking too.

It's nice to hear someone else say it though.

Yeah, I think time apart is good. Just to get something normal going on, you know? [Grins and nods.]

Just taking things slow. I know if I was dating someone, I'd want it to go slow. Really get to know the person. What's that phrase... rose tinted glasses? And you see what you want to see, but not what you need to see.

I don't think the problem is how I see him. I think the problem is how I see myself.

Yeah. You don't really think a lot of yourself, you know? I mean... Blaine, do you even like yourself?

I used to. I had moments, you know, where I wasn't sure who I was or what I was supposed to be doing, but I liked myself. I was proud of how far I had gone, that I had survived and found my place.

Now? Most of the time I'm not so sure. I just keep seeing all of these stupid mistakes happening over and over.

If you keep thinking and worrying about the past, you'll never move forward. Everyone I've ever known has told me that. [He shrugs, letting the food sit for now and hopping up onto the counter.]

Not that it's easy. Don't even think for a second that I'm saying that, because it's so hard, and it sucks, and I know that. Things are always a little hinky when you have to let go of what makes you sad. I haven't let go of most of it. There's so much stuff I did, that I think about, and I just... hare myself for it. Which is what you do, right?

[He smiles a little.] Maybe you just need a good cry on top of a gargoyle in the rain. Works every time.
