Yes, it was certain the school was undergoing one of those Weird Experiences again. It didn't take long for word to filter across the network that a strange portal had opened up in Kyle's old dorm, and similarly didn't take long for Samus to happenstance run into old friends on campus.

..."Friends" was a sort of loose term, but they were allies none-the-less; about as close as your average I-work-alone bounty hunter might get to calling someone a friend. It was probably a bad idea to invite them into her home, but her home was a sanctuary from the strange event occurring on campus. Ridley proved not everything coming out of that dorm was of the friendly sort. After the diabolical space dragon had been put back in his place, her place had a lot of alcohol and a hot tub on the roof; the choice seemed very clear.

Samus could really use a drink after all that, and somehow convinced not only herself, but also her "friends" to join her.

Not far from the school, buried deep within the forest that bordered it, and down a barely-worn dirt path was an abandoned firehouse, or more accurately, a formerly abandoned firehouse. This is the building that Samus claimed for herself nearly two years ago, refurbished and has been (secretly) living in ever since.

With Falcon.

And their adorable new dog.

"This is it." Samus announced, opening the door.

Hopefully he wouldn't mind the... guests.

What a primitive dump.

Of course, Rundas didn't say it, but it's what he was thinking as he ducked into the doorway to enter the firehouse. He chose his words far more carefully. "Not quite what I was expecting," he said as he looked around.

[94percent]

Wow. These doors really were tiny compared to the school. At least if Rundas could manage getting in, Ghor certainly could.

"You never were one I would have imagined to settle down anywhere... But I expect that this is much more peaceful than the academy." All the portal madness was enough to prove that.

[raced_god]

At the sound of what he assumed was Samus arriving home, Falcon (and doggy) were quick to make their way to the ground floor, the former using the fire pole and the latter tearing down the steps. SAMUS WAS HOME AND THAT WAS SUPER EXCITING AND WONDERFUL AND--

Wow, okay. Samus had...company.

The dog didn't seem too happy about the alien presence, coming to a screeching halt and growling at ALL THESE STRANGE NEW SMELLS. Falcon, at least, knew Ghor.

"You brought...friends."

[icequeen_aran]

"I never expected it myself, to tell the truth..." Samus blanket-replied both of them.

The firehouse definitely appeared very primitive on the outside, with its rusty red bricks, and the occasional vine creeping up the wall. Inside, however, was filled with the appropriate amounts of futuristic technology that Falcon and Samus would favor. Her gunship not only somehow fit on the lower floor (seriously how did she fit it through those doors), but left room to spare; along with it was a large work bench and two advanced looking motorbikes, one black and one red.

The upper floors were clearly the living quarters, with bedrooms, a kitchen, and all the necessitates of life (like Falcon, and fire poles, and puppies). Refurbished was an understatement, though there might of still been one or two areas of the firehouse that were works-in-progress... out of sight and out of mind, for now.

Samus breezed past Falcon as he hung there mid-pole.

"This is Ghor and Rundas." She informed as she crouched down and tried to console the dog.

[coolest_hunter]

"Sup."

[94percent]

"A pleasure to see you again, Falcon. I do hope you forgive the intrusion."

Oh man, what was that tiny yapping thing. That was one of Earth's... dogs. Samus settling down AND having a small animal that was not dead yet? What madness was this?!

[raced_god]

He slid the rest of the way down the poll, landing hard on the floor and scooping up the dog, if only so she would stop growling at the visitors, surprising as they were. Falcon was just mostly thankful that the dog was still pick-up-able. The yet-unnamed animal seemed momentarily placated, if not eyeing the intruders suspiciously.

"It's...not a problem." He hadn't really decided if it was going to be a problem. "I guess you came through the portal. Are we expecting Gandrayda, too?"

[icequeen_aran]

"You never expect Gandrayda." Samus commented dryly. "But I haven't seen her."

[raced_god]

"Maybe I'm Gandrayda" he said dryly, letting the puppy down from his arms now that she seemed content to sniff incredulously at the two aliens. "What then?"

NOW IN THE RIGHT PLACE

[94percent]

"Then you would set off my Gandrayda sensors."

He didn't actually have them. But the real Falcon probably wouldn't know it.

...Gandrayda sensors sounded like a brilliant idea for the future, though.

[coolest_hunter]

Rundas took a look at Ghor. "I've gotta get me some of those," he said.

"Anyway, Samus said we could crash here while we figure out what's going on with the portal," he explained.

[icequeen_aran]

DID... HE ACTUALLY HAVE GANDRAYDA SENSORS...?

Regardless if he did or didn't that was a brilliant idea...

Samus cast Falcon a classic Samus lineface, which was then passed quickly onto Ghor. And Rundas.

"...Yes and I should hope I don't regret my decision."

Pause.

"There's food and drink upstairs."

[raced_god]

"Yeah, uh. About that food and drink."

Guess who was supposed to do the grocery shopping but was too busy playing with the dog.

This guy.

[icequeen_aran]

FALCON. CAPTAIN DOUGLAS JAY FALCON...

"What about it?"

[raced_god]

Oh no.

Oh no. Now he was going to get it.

"We're running a little low. On groceries. I meant to go out today. But I...didn't."

[coolest_hunter]

Rundas was already heading upstairs to get himself some of that food and drink. But then he stopped. He turned. "Better get out there and do that, Falcon. You've got guests after all."

[raced_god]

"Hey, wait--"

But it was already TOO LATE, there were aliens in his house and they were going upstairs and they were all in his stuff. It did, however, occur to him that if he was going grocery shopping, he had no idea what to even spend his money on. Ghor was a robot, and Rundas didn't even have a mouth.

"What do you...eat?"

[icequeen_aran]

"...Ice cubes."

[coolest_hunter]

"What do YOU eat?" Rundas asked gruffly. "Whatever. Surprise me. Let me try some Earth chow."
