Late April 2012, Geneva, Swizerland

[damncompass]

The door opens, probably miraculously on Joshua's living room. The chaos isn't as bad as in the bedroom, but there are notes and papers all over the desk around his computer, and a few books lying on the couch across from the TV.

"Sorry about the mess. One of these days I'll clean. Really."

Comments

[balancingminds]

After some enjoyable walking, they end up near the bus stop again and Charles leans against a lamppost with a smile,

"This is a wonderful city. I've missed being in someplace so lively. We're not that cut off where I'm working but some days it feels like it."

[damncompass]

Joshua grins. "Yeah, it's nice for when I can pry myself out of my office." He shrugs. "So, anyway, guys, you two are welcome to stay the night if you don't want to go back. I've got some movies and a couple actual card games."

[claudiometer]

"Actual card games? Gasp choke."
Claudia grins. "I'll crash, but I'm taking the couch." If Joshua ends up snuggling Charles, that's apparently not a problem; Claudia, on the other hand, would just be weirded out.

[balancingminds]

"Card games sounds nice though after I'll try and look for a door,"

He appreciates the offer but prefers a place he knows when he sleeps though Claudia's thought makes him smile. There are other people he would rather sleep with though he's glad to provide Joshua whatever comfort he needs.

[damncompass]

"Cool. At the least, I probably can open the bathroom door. That seems to almost always work when I want the bar." Joshua nods as the bus appears, and they all pile on.

[claudiometer]

"Sadly, his doesn't stay put." But if it did, she might have to come and confiscate her brother's bathroom door, and that would just be weird.
Ah, public transit.

[balancingminds]

"If a door doesn't appear, I'll sleep wherever you can fit me."

[damncompass]

Joshua nods, getting them off the bus, through CERN's security and into his apartment.

He pulls out about six various cardgames, and shrugs. "Pick something out." The options include Cards Against Humanity and Apples to Apples.

[claudiometer]

"Oh, too easy." Claudia opens up Apples to Apples, and several rousing rounds are had.

[balancingminds]

Later they switch to Cards Against Humanity which is a good education for Charles on how much the world can change.

[damncompass]

Joshua just enjoys playing games, and watching Charles' face when various things come up in Cards Against Humanity, not to mention watching Claudia try to explain some of the more modern Apples to Apples cards.

He has a moment, realizing that just perhaps he's found his family again.
