Description: Kotetsu, Barnaby, and Kaede move into their new apartment.


It hadn't taken a lot of searching for Barnaby and Kotetsu find a new apartment, but they thankfully managed to convince the landlords at the Fatality Condominiums that they could afford the high rent there. While this wasn't around the same as his skyrise apartment in Sternbild, it was nice having all of the space again. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, ample space in the living room... It was pretty much a luxury, seeing as they each could have their own room, and the pets would have space to stretch their legs.

However, moving was bound to be a tricky situation. Three people, two cats, one dog, and a rabbit, on top of their things, just made for a hectic situation. Barnaby was just glad that his items were very minimal, which had given him ample time to pack up the kitchen and start on the living room while leaving the Kaburagi father-daughter team to pick up their semi-shared room and Kotetsu's chunk of the living room. He was more than ready to move. But were they done yet?

With everyone in agreement, Barnaby had to smile at Kaede's enthusiasm. Kotetsu's second suggestion made a good point as well--leaving Kaede to watch the pets assured them that they'd be alright while the two adults were gone. Not that they had much difficulty with them before, but at least they'd know that everything would be fine. And Kaede wouldn't have to stress herself over moving everything over.

"That's a good idea," he said with a nod. "Kaede, we can entrust the pets' care to you while we carry everything in, can't we?" And with a smirk, he glanced back to his partner. "So long as we don't collect any damages along the way, right?" In reference to their little 'bet' from before, Barnaby couldn't help but tease Kotetsu on this.

Kaede frowned and turned towards her father once Barnaby quipped about damage instances. Indeed, Kotetsu had a habit of breaking things, ask questions later. "You better not break any of my stuff!" She told him off. Fortunately she had very little fragile things besides her pets. She could rest easy, once she finished packing her things and pushing her labeled boxes to a corner.

[wildest]

Kotetsu stood there looking particularly proud of himself for coming up with such a great idea-- until his mood was immediately shot down and trampled over by scolding voices. "I'm not breaking anything!" He grumbled over to Barnaby before turning around to face Kaede, laughing sheepishly as he tried to seem as reassuring as possible.

"Now now, you don't need to worry! Papa's gonna be extra careful with your things, I promise!"

Maybe he'd be a little rougher with Barnaby's boxes, at least if he could get away with it. Just what he got for bringing up the damages thing first. Maybe he'd even tell Kaede to keep the pets in the room Barnaby decided to use for himself, see how he liked that animal smell for a while.

"Problem solved."

Completely unaware of Kotetsu's nefarious plans, Barnaby just decided to return to making sure the other rooms were packed up. With Kaede on Kotetsu's case about her belongings, Barnaby figured there was no reason to interfere in that and just made for the living room again. He returned to organizing, this time just stacking more of them together to get a clearer glance around they room. It was almost done. Probably just a few more, but the apartment was looking more and more bare.

With the packing nearly completed, it was time for them to start shipping stuff over to their new pad. It would be hard work, and unfortunately Kaede couldn't help with moving certain boxes. Not even a quick copy of Hundred Power would suffice in this case. Her work finished, she went over to find Barnaby to let him know about the status.

"All done over here!"

[wildest]

After taking a while to hurriedly at least place the animals away in the living room (Barnaby the rabbit was placed safely in the old carrying box they'd brought him home in, while the cats were placed in a single carrier. There was no need to secure Loafdog, what with him never finding much need to unnecessarily walk around in the first place), Kotetsu glanced around the area before clapping his hands, officially ready for their move.

"Okay, let's all head on over there first to drop off the first set of things. you too, Kaede. When we come back, you just stay here and let me and Bunny take care of everything else, then when we're done we can take the last set of things and give this place a proper goodbye."

Walking back over once the front rooms were done, he nodded. "Alright, let's grab a few boxes and begin moving them over." It'd take at least two trips, so it was a good thing that they had rented a small truck to make the process smoother. "Once we load in the first set of boxes, we can set the pets inside and then hurry on over."

[traust]

Kaede nodded in agreement at her father, picking up a few of her boxes (naturally) and taking them outside to be loaded onto the moving truck. "How's this?" She asks after sliding them in as best she could once the other two are outside with her.
