Video; open + locks, a few hours after the earthquakes

[The video pans across a table completely covered in muffins, arranged into neat, cheery baskets, artistically arranged by color in a shallow pyramid. There are all manner of strange and strangely healthy flavors: raspberry lime muffins, zucchini basil muffins, blue corn muffins, ginger pumpkin muffins, and more. A little mechanical droid carefully adds another batch to the pile, still hot and steaming faintly. When the smooth voice comes, it is quiet, uncertain, almost ashamed.]

...I think I made too many muffins.

Does. Um. Anyone want some?

[Privated separately to Wanda, Dr. Orpheus, Loki, and Lucifer. Its sounds nervous.]

Is there any magical method that would guarantee perfectly repairing architectural damage?

Wow! I've seen a lot of things, but I can confidently say that I've never met a whole house before.

...at least, not one that could talk back to me.

It's apparently quite rare in this era.

Pleased to make your acquaintance, miss.

voice; jklsdf is that right

[greenshift]

- oh! I'm Jade. It's nice to meet you, Miss House.

House thinks of itself as 'it', but doesn't get worked up about humans using gender language

[where_the_hearth_is]

Merely House is fine, or Oxham House, if you require more specificity to avoid confusion.

aaaah

[greenshift]

Oxham House is a really pretty name for a house, if you ask me.

aaaah

[where_the_hearth_is]

It's my owner's name, really.

[But it sounds pleased with the compliment.]

[greenshift]

Is your owner here too?

[where_the_hearth_is]

No. But perhaps someday.
