[Casa de Guts Filter/Action]

Wow, it's getting crowded around here. And I think I finally found a way around it: dividing up the attic. But I'm gonna need to know how many rooms we actually need, and then I'll need help with putting them up. Anyone mind if I ask people from the castle for help?

There's been a lot of traffic coming and going around here, and - you're all terrific and insane! - but I think I need a headcount. You know you're in trouble when you can't keep straight who lives in your own house and who's just visiting...

[that being taken care of, Gale is grubby and sweaty from rummaging around the first floor, second floor, and attic: moving furniture and measuring wall dimensions and all that. so he decides to take a bath. only - somehow, it took him THIS LONG to realize that the bathtub upstairs in the house doubles as a jacuzzi. he reaches for one of the knobs and turns it, experimentally - and scares himself shitless when a GIGANTIC JET of bubbles comes shooting out. hopping out of the water, he grabs a towel and just sort of ... quietly flips the fuck out before fumbling for his journal]

[Filtered AWAY From Casa de Guts]

Anyone know anything about ... really modern plumbing, I guess you'd call it? I think I broke the bathtub. Maybe.

((OOC: Thanks to Kayla for making the floor plans for Casa de Guts!))

Broke the bathtub?

[He can't hold back his amusement, despite trying.]

How?

[Totally chilling on a chair, shooting at zombies with a video game] I'm still living here!

And as for rooms in the attic? Um...I don't know! How many rooms could be up there?

[Crowley is chilling in the kitchen with his good friend, Captain Morgan]

Not getting rid of me that easy.

Nor will you convince me to help in any possible way.

Depends on if we want to try to add another bathroom up there or not... which I'd definitely need help with. I don't know anything about plumbing.

I mean - I know one bathroom's a luxury for me? But I'm pretty sure not everyone here would agree.

I don't know, there was this knob on the side and ... it's like the water's boiling.

[And Clint can't help a snort of laughter.]

Try turning the knob again.

[we'll say he's in the process of measuring the kitchen. he hooked one end of the measuring tape over the back of the counter and is trying to drag it across the kitchen ...

... and he gets halfway across before it falls loose]

No possible way at all, huh?

The same way, or --

[he's holding the journal with one hand and the towel with the other. somehow it would be WEIRD to talk to another guy over the journal naked, okay]

Hmmm...another bathroom sounds tempting. I keep getting up earlier and earlier to make sure I can get there already.

Though I'm afraid I don't know anything about plumbing at all either.

[Crowley will watch it fall loose, before taking a measured sip of his drink]

Nope. No way.

Still, there are probably plenty of weirdos in the castle looking for a project.

Other way.

...

How do you even break a bathtub Gale?

Did you let weird stuff drain down the plughole?

What?! No!! I hadn't even -- there was still water in it and I turned a knob and --

What do you mean, "weird stuff"?

You're so helpful.

Remind me why you live here, again?

[he's smirking as he goes to find something to keep it in place with, though. rummaging through the drawers]

I guess if no one has any objections, I could ask around about that, too ... I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like changing things in the castle, where we can just wish for it to change. We're too far away, right?

Okay. Okay. Let's talk ourselves through this, nice and slow. The knob wasn't the same one you turned to get the water running, right?

It could be anything really. I don't even want to start to think about what you might have on you before you take a bath.

But the water's boiling. I don't want to burn myself ... should I - I don't know, wrap my hand in a towel or something?

Because my dearest oldest friends Ino and Allen invited me here.

[Plus, you know, if he stayed in the castle it would have been set on fire by now]

Trust me, kid. I wouldn't tell you to do it if it was going to hurt you.

... Okay. Um.

[the towel and journal conundrum is still bothering him]

Be right back.

[radio silence as he closes the journal, sets it down, and goes to try turning the knob the other way.

only, he can't remember which one it was. so he turns the moving jets on]

I think I made it worse.

Keep saying stuff like that and I'm gonna stop letting people call you "Uncle" Crowley, because you sound more like a father-in-law or something.

[honestly, he doesn't think Once is talking down to him much at this point, because that was a legitimate question]

No, it wasn't... and come on. I don't get that dirty.

Yes you do. You're all...woodsy.

[Wait. Waaaait] Is the water bubbling?

I prefer Uncle. It allows me to be that drunken, lecherous family member everyone puts up with because they have to rather than they want to.

Is it really becoming that bad? Maybe I ought to move back to the castle...
