It's not a very large apartment, but it's got a nice location just off the main street that leads to Shibusen in one direction and the park in the other. The whole atmosphere from the outside is cute and homey.
The inside is similarly homey, but not in the same way. It's very, very clean. It's furnished with practicality in mind, and while comfortable, it's got the same, weird, lifeless feeling as a hotel room or a catalog photo. It's too organized for anyone to actually live here, right?
There are still a couple cardboard boxes piled neatly in the corner. Even they look perfectly in-place.

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady Will entered behind Cypress then promptly took off her shoes with her feet and pushed them over to a corner where they probably wouldn't be noticed. "Naice place ye go' 'ere." she commented.
She was still trying to run her mind to remember where she'd left her stuff. She knew it was near a dumpster behind a building somewhere...... but there were a lot of buildings.
Will looked around, surveying the appartment. Really nice. 'Wow, t'e Americans ain't as bad as t'ey're made oout too be.' she jested in her head. .....can ye point me to a pub?

"Thank you!" Cypress beamed happliy. She always loved having her homemaking skills acknowledged. The apartment was nicely furnished, even if it was a little... stiff.
She kicked off her own boots and walked over to the corner of the room designated as the kitchen where she set the bags of food. She shuffled with them noisily as she organized her purchases.

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady It was a little..... stuffy for Will's taste, but it was nice. Sure as hell was better than sleeping in the feckin desert again!!
When she thought for a moment, she realized she should at least locate her belongings before really settling in. Not that she had to do much to settle in seeing is she lost her luggage! "Soo, A'm gonna goo faind- er!- get me belongings an' A'll be back in a few minutes, K lass? Bai!" And before Cypress would have had time to answer- Will had botled back out the door with a bit of a slam, not even bothering to put her shoes back on. .....can ye point me to a pub?

There was a soft kink-kink-kink, like the sound of someone knocking on glass.
If one were to look over in the direction of this sound, they would see the image of a pale, brunette woman crouched on the window sill, grinning and waving.
Then she would jump up, her feet would dangle and kick at the top of the window for a moment then disappear.....

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady Will approached the door and opted to leave her stuff outside for a moment. Nobody was around and she was sure her luggage wouldn't get up and walk away. "Noow stay- staaayyyyy.... good!" she said, giving her luggage a thumbs-up. She opened the door and slipped inside.
"Ey Caipress, A'm back!" she said with a grin.
"Soo, A was wondarin- does t'is appartment 'ave an extra room tha' A could sleep in- while A stay 'ere, ye knoow?" she asked politely. She wasn't sure how many rooms the place had, she forgot to check. Though, of there was only one bedroom for Cypress, Will was perfectly fine with sleeping on the couch or something. She'd just have to hide her stuff closer by. .....can ye point me to a pub?

"Oh, good timing; food's done," Cypress called out in monotone as she appeared around the corner. She eyed the doorway suspiciously.
"What about your luggage?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow. She was holding a plate of some pasta dish. It smelled nice. "Never mind," she ammended. It was probably better if she didn't know anyway. "I hope you're not a vegetarian," she segued while holding out the plate.

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady Will laughed at her last comment. "A'm from Ireland! Ar diet consists o' meat, potatoes, bacon an' beer!" she chuckled. In fact- it was really hard to find vegetarian meals in Ireland! Everything that seemed to a tourist or visitor to be a vegetarian option was usually covered in bacon! She took the plate with a "Thanks!" and a grin. It smelled great! Oh after two days of eating nothing this one dish made Will as happy as that time she got to tour and do a beer chugging tasteing at the guinness factory!
Upon closer inspection, one would notice a number of bruises and a couple cuts all over Will's body..... and she smelled like she'd just gone dumpster diving!

Cypress nodded to Will curtly as she went back to get her own plate. She noted her partner's... bedraggled appearance and almost said something about sitting on the furniture in those dirty clothes, but her compulsive hostess behavior kept her mouth shut.
"My room is the one on the right, next to the bathroom. You can have the one on the other side," she continued as she dug into her own dinner.

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady Will knew Cypress was the neat-freak type, and as much as her rebellious nature longed to slump down on a couch and eat how and wherever she pleased- she did not want to get kicked out already! So she sat down on the floor, to make as little mess as possible. She tucked into her meal, shoveling it ravenously into her mouth. To the mention of rooms- Will looked up in the direction of her room. "Awhaiht." she said with a full mouth.
Will finished quickly, being starved half to death and put her plate by the sink with a loud clatter. "Ahhhh.... T'anks a lo'! 'preciate i'!" she said with a grin to her partner. Then she walked over to the door and dragged in her bulky bags/instrument cases. Luckily, all the garbage had already fallen off on the way over, but there was a faint trail of dirt from the drum set case's tiny wheels. She pushed it into her room and thre everything down where she stood. With a satisfied grin at not having lost anything, she shut the door to her new room and went over to sit by her partner.
"Soo, A 'eard from me parents 'boout somet'in called 'soul resonance' er somet'in. Do ye knoow annat'in aboout i'? A'm all new ta t'is 'meistar-weapon-Shibusen' t'ing, an' completely cluuless!" she chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of her head. .....can ye point me to a pub?

Cypress deadpanned. She didn't particularly care, but her parents had ecstatically drilled in the basics of Demon Weapon-hood into her brain almost the moment they found out she could transform.
Her brother had provided the "visual aids".
"(cough) Ahem, right... Soul Resonance," Cypress struggled to recompose herself, "It's when the meister and their weapon, their souls you know, when they match up, they resonate... like they harmonize..." It was tricky to explain this sort of thing without thinking back to those damaging pictures her brother drew. OH SHINIGAMI, AND THE DANCING.
"A-Anyway, when the soul wavelengths resonate just right, they get much stronger and all kinds of crazy stuff happens," she continued while thoughtfully scrubbing the dishes, "Like, weapons grow, change shape, gain special attacks, with Death Scythes I hear they can change even more severely, sort of like how Miss Blanche was able to change from a flashlight to some kind of... sci-fi photon cannon."
Cypress finished drying the dishes and pulled out a broom to sweep up the dirt Will's luggage had tracked across the linoleum.
"It'd probably take a lot of work for us to get anywhere though..." she added as she absently swept the grit out the door.

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady Will was already liking the sound of this 'Soul Resonance'. Especially if it could have crazy effects like that! "A'ragiht! Soo 'ow would we be goin' aboout gettin' ar souls to 'armonize?" This was getting her excited. So far the first day was going great! A partner, a place to bunk down, food!, she hadn't lost anything, a good fight and a roof-top stroll through the city!
The only problem she'd have was getting the next day to top this!
If this was gonna take 'a lot of work for them to get anywhere' Will was eager to at least figure out how they could start. Will liked to learn things fast. Fast learning served to speed up action. Quick action was essential in Will's mind. .....can ye point me to a pub?

Cypress looked up slightly startled. She wasn't expecting such a gung-ho reaction, though in hindsight, she kicked herself for not seeing that coming. She laughed politely.
"You remind me of my brother," she smiled. It wasn't exactly a compliment, but hey, Cypress did still love her brother. Usually.
"Um... Soul Resonance really only comes from a lot of practice," she thought back, "Just from trying to get on the same page with trying to help the weapon achieve a certain shape and direction and power level and... stuff."
Yeah, Cypress was going to school for a reason. Just because she knew the basics didn't mean she really had any idea what she was doing in the long run. Eh heh...

Me name's Will Grady.....Wilhelmina Grady "Eh-heh... yeah, a lo' o' people say A remaind 'em o' t'eir brothars." she chuckled. It was always the brother, never a sister. Not hat it bothered Will, in fact she never really took any notice of it. But she was compared to a lot of men, for obvious reasons mostly having to do with the loud, wild or out-going men.
Will took in Cypress's every word. Comprehnding it, analyzing it, figuring out what to do with it. The same way she'd help her brother Gavin out with his.... 'work'. Though, this situation was incredibly different from what she'd help Gavin out with. She tried working out ideas in her head..... but the silence was eating away at her like a thousand fire ants!!!
She stood, walked into her room and started rummaging through her luggage. Loud thuds and other odd sounds could be heard from her room as she did so.
When she cam out, she was holding a guitar with a mini amp attatched to her leg. She sat back down and fiddled with her mp3 player a bit, trying to find a certain song. When she'd found it no sound came out, she started playing the guitar part that had been silence in this version of the song and the other intruments joined in later.
She played expertly; the music ringing out, shaking you to the very core. Her whole body, mind, and soul were put into each and every note.
The music was getting her thoughts flowing. This was how she always got herself out of a mind-jam or out of a bad mood. Playing her guitar or rocking out with any instrument for that matter made Will Grady feel so alive!Guitar vs Piano .....can ye point me to a pub?
