"Aro what up sexy!?" Cee hopped up and bopped over to the large Maori to give him a peck on the cheek. She, of course, wanted a piece of him but she would let Lydia take over for the moment because Evan was much more intriguing. When Peyton piped up about the boxes, Cee got to business. A medium size box was hefted easily, though she did try and peek and shake it around a bit to see what was inside. There seemed to be enough people that everyone only needed a box each. No need for multiple trips. Cee made a point to sashay out in front of Evan, though she gave him big doe eyes and a, "Hey.." as invitation to walk with her if he wanted. "I'm Cee by the way." He got a sweet smile as she started to walk.

Evan followed dat a** out the door like it was made of bacon and he was starving. He eagerly took her up on her invitation, slowing his pace as he fell into step alongside her. He smiled down at her, struggling to keep his eyes on her face; with the difference in height, the slightest wandering of his gaze would have put it right down her shirt. "It's very," very, very "nice to meet you, Cee. I'm Evan. You a friend of Peyton's, or are you here for the pizza and beer?"

The low plunge of her neckline pretty much invited the glances, though it was always fun watching men struggle to be polite. "Oh I'm just'a social butterfly." Cee smiled again. Even with all the makeup, it was clear she was a cute girl. "Though pizza, beer an'tunes always helps, right?" Cee laughed a bit, pausing at the door and waiting for it to be opened because obviously her hands were full. "I'm on twitter like all the ******** time though so I mean.. you pretty much figger people out that way." Her accent was distinct and urban, "So you been here a while? It's hard ta tell witout da coats."

Peyton waited a few moment for everyone to grab a box, then lead the way up the stairs and down the hall, Evan and Cee passing her at some point as she slowed to wait for the others. She caught up after a handful of seconds, shuffling her plant into a one handed hold so she could fish a key out of her pocket(which was redundant, seeing as America had already let herself in), and opened the door for the others. A shock of bright hair let her know her bestie was already there, and she paused near the little stretch of counter that housed the pizza and beer to give the new book case a curious glance. "What's this?" God, she loved her friends! "When the heck did you pick this up, and how did you even get in here, god, you're a ******** ninja!" The plant was set down, and America would find herself with a tin Sun hunter draped over her shoulders. A kiss was pressed to the redhead's cheek, a silent thank you, then she straightened a bit and gestured behind her towards the counter. "Boxes can go anywhere, and help yourself to booze and food." Pale eyes turned to sweep through the room before eyeing the shelf. "This would make an awesome divider between the bed and the rest of the room, if the bed was tucked up close to that corner. Then put a couch there, " she pointed. "And a tv. A desk against the wall, one of those Italian jobs that hides a bed, for Astrid."

"Well I was thinking 'bout getting you one of those neon flamingo lamps," America grinned, "...but Kon looked at them with such judgement, that I was 'fraid they'd just set themselves out of fire from shame." Getting up, the redhead stretched, admired her handiwork, and then went to grab herself a beer and another slice of pizza. Still smiling, she settled in to look over who all Pey had suckered into playing packmules.

Arorangi kept his arm around Lydia long enough to squeeze her thin shoulders affectionately. She really was very easy to get along with, and her quirky, bright personality was very pleasing to be around. He gave her a last pat on her back and then looked down at her feet, a deep, booming laugh escaping from his throat.
"They are fantastic, aroha!" Arorangi said, grinning. "Very fitting for you!"
To the one called Peyton, he said brightly, "I am new! I have only been awake for a few days, but I thought that coming her would help to meet more people while also offering my help! I can carry a lot of weight, and would be happy to help you move into your new place!"
He gave her a thumbs up, and then a quick return kiss to Cee's cheek as she pressed a quick one to his as Arorangi bent and scooped up a few boxes into his muscular arms, hauling them up. He bent his head towards Lydia, indicating that he was going to follow Peyton, and then went upstairs, carting the supplies along with him.
The room was easy enough to find, and once there, Arorangi set the boxes down onto the floor just beside the counter. He made sure they were stacked neatly and then brushed his hands together, looking around the place with a curious sort of interest.
"It is a great room you have!" he said cheerfully. "Very spacious. Congratulations on moving, it is very exciting to finally get a nice place of your own!"

The teen went full out deer-in-the-headlights mode when Cee touched her hair, completely wide eyed and still as the hand went through her locks. "U-um yeah! Totally natural! N-n-never colored i-it though I-I- considered it!" Nearly once a month, but Abbi could never commit to the action. It felt a betrayal to her already discriminated genes, so there was no reason to give into the temptation. As soon as she'd voiced her question, the other woman was backing off and before Abbi could really give the playlist a thorough look through they were instructed to grab boxes and head up. The temptation to change the music to a favorite artist was high, especially given the lack of music selection on the Island, but Abbi had a goal in mind and that was to do her best to help someone else. So instead she looked around and snatched up a box that looked relatively small. It was, in fact, fairly light and feeling brave, the teen grabbed another box that was not so airy and did her best to look as though it had not phased her. There were a few people around now, but one she had not approached yet and thus sought to remedy the solution. "H-hi! I'm... I'm Abbi! I would offer a hand for a shake but uh... I kind of um... Boxes." She shrugged, the motion raising both boxes she had moved into her arms before they settled. Once in a more manageable position she began to ascension to the next floor up, never once making a noise other than her questions. "So did you... Get a promotion recently? Congrats! That's... That's super awesome and... And good for you!" Wait how were you supposed to talk to people that didn't require game or anime references? Why was this hard?? Eventually Abbi was granted reprieve upon entrance to the room that she nearly dropped the boxes full stop, only pausing to set them down gently when she remembered there might be something really important in them. The boxes were set down and she almost left the room to retreat back for more when she saw the other girl already waiting in the room near the pizza. She was a ginger too.Well maybe Abbi should stay just for a few minutes... "Um... Um is it ok... To like get some pizza? Yanno, fuel for the next trip up?" She asked the girl, edging closer to her than the pizza.

"Ah yes, hello, Peyton, dear! I'm so very glad to meet you as well!" She greeted the woman who approached, the one who, it seemed, was holding this little moving party, before she found herself surrounded by an Aro arm. Lydia let out a happy laugh as Arorangi complimented her on her slippers, wiggling her toes inside of them to make the giant furry toes wiggle with them before giggling again. He really was so amazing for all of his upbeat attitude and kind words! She enjoyed his company very much. "Thank you!" She exclaimed, giving his arm one last squeeze from her own before he was pulling away, leaving her to go and grab a box, but something else caught her attention before she had a chance. She might have stared at Cee just slightly in wide eyed awe as the woman sauntered on over to place a kiss on Arorangi's cheek, receiving one in return without hesitation. If only Lydia could ever be so bold! But just the thought of doing anything like that, especially with somebody who, despite only having met him recently, she considered a good friend, had her freckled cheeks warming up dangerously to a bright shade of red. Shielding her face with her hand in embarrassment, Lydia shuffled her way over towards a box that looked like one who's size she could handle with relative ease (though she sincerely hoped that there wasn't anything breakable inside, on the off chance that she somehow bumbled her grip on it in the moving process). Turning around to catch the nod from Aro, Lydia followed his, and all of the others, lead, trailing along behind with a careful grip on the single box she had picked up to move. When they reached the room, she slid her way inside past the bodies nearest to the door, and set the box down in the nearest available space, before reaching out with a slippered toe to nudge it even further out of the way, just in case. And then she just sort of stood there, awkwardly, wondering if now she should just leave or if she should partake in the sharing of pizza and beverage.

Evan nodded in agreement. "Advertising free food will get people to come to anything around here, even if it's just hauling a box up a few flights of stairs." Fortunately, enough people had taken Peyton up on her offer that he didn't have to fake awkward conversation with her--especially since Cee was proving much more interesting to talk to. He stopped when she did, not minding at all that they had to wait for Peyton to let them in. "Yeah? I try not to put too much consideration into Twitter. I'd like to believe that it's just hard for people to get their message across in 140 characters rather than some people have nothing better to do than sit around and be assholes on it. It has its uses, I guess, but," he shrugged, trailing off. He was much more comfortable talking to people face to face anyway. "I've been here about a year and a half, maybe a little more," he answered. "Sometimes it feels like a lot longer. How about you? You can't have been here that long--I'm sure I would have noticed you," he said with a wink.

Evan was already getting a thumbs up in Cee's book. He was attractive, pleasant and so far she didn't want to stab him in the eyes like some of the men around. Talking to him was easy and that was a plus. "I'm like twitter queen." Cee laughed, unashamed of the fact. "I think its hilarious though. People all talking s**t and fightin but won't do it to each others faces. Like Taym and Rep be fighting all the time but I don't think I ever seen'em in a room with each other. It's like watching Degrassi or something." Finally they had access to Pey's new room and Cee followed in behind everyone else and put her box down. She made a show of stretching while she continued to chat with Evan, "Oh I only been here a couple months. So yer like a vet'ran huh?" She playfully jabbed towards him with an elbow and winked, "Gonna show me yer moves sometime?" "Hey girl!" She waved to America but it was definitely a passing thing. It had become obvious to everyone at this point that Evan had been claimed for the time being. Back again to the handsome young man, "You wanna beer Evan?"

Neon flamingo lamp? Delicate features slid into a guarded expression, lips pursed. She'd have to remember to send Kostya a thank you. Peyton wasn't honestly certain she had the ability to say 'no' to America, which wasn't really a problem, because she'd never had want to say 'no' to anything the girl asked. But a neon flamingo lamp? Where would she have put it? And it would have to go somewhere. Disaster averted. As America started to stand, Pey straightened up to make it easier on her friend, and then set her sights on the shelf. "It's perfect." A fond smile touched glossed lips, then she was turning and following America over to grab her own slice of pizza. "Thank you." Leaning in, she gave the red head's shoulder a nudge. Abbi's question pulled Pey's attention, and she flashed the girl a smile. "Yes, help yourself. I'm not sure we'll need a second trip, I think there was enough people that one box apiece will do it." Which meant that they were all free to relax now and socialize, eat some pizza, drink some beer. Or soda. There was soda in the fridge. "And I did get promoted, just a few days ago. Thank you." The teen couldn't help but stand a little straighter, obviously proud of herself. All the congratulations being tossed about was enough to make her cheeks rosy.

"Anytime, Pey." America eyed up the small parade of movers that followed Peyton in, smile growing wide Arorangi ( hello beefcake) and Evan ( hello again, I see your hands aren't full of melons this time but that could be arranged) and all the cute girls now swarming the apartment. "Anytime."At Abbi's approach, she laughed and gestured toward all the pizza and drinks, "Aren't you Leslie's cute little friend?" Seeing a few people looking awkward, she raised her voice a bit, calling out cheerfully, "Don't you folks let the pizza get cold or the beer get warm!"She blew a kiss at Cee but the hey there eyebrows and smiling wink were most definitely for Evan.

Evan hesitated at Cee's observation, considering it for a moment. "I think you might be right," he said on a disappointed sigh. "Deus is less like a military base and more like high school with monsters and weapons." He hadn't thought about it that way before, but now that the idea had been put into his head, it made sense--there was gossip and illicit activity and individual cliques where there should have been mutual respect and self-discipline and cohesiveness. "That's a scary thought." He trailed after Cee and placed his box on the ground next to hers, trying hard not to leer as she stretched. "Yeah, you could definitely say that," he replied, grinning down at her. "And I would be happy to help you out with any kind of moves you had in mind." He paused a beat before adding, "I start training around 6. Hope you're an early riser." His smile widened as he returned her wink before heading for the pizza. Evan caught America's look and returned it with an appreciative smile and a nod of his own. "Yes, please," he said to Cee, looking between her and America. "How much pizza can I get you ladies?"

"Six A.M.?" Cee came back to Even with a cold bottle. She'd been thoughtful enough to open it as well. "Ionno about that early. Maybe like.. 8. I mean I had a personal trainer that would git me up early but.." Was there anything to do on this island at that time? Cee then gave Evan a playful elbow and a wink. "Maybe though boy. Maybe you could git me up." She took a sip of beer, 'Ahhhhing' with the cold refreshment. "Oh I'll take a piece. There any pepperoni?" She glanced around but at the moment there wasn't much seating. "So we're gonna unpack you too, right Pey?" It was only polite to help unpack and get a look at all her stuff.
