Midnight Manor Boarding House, Tuesday Morning

Watts and Steven had discussed putting together a little breakfast spread for the boarding house's residents as a sort of start-of-summer-semester celebration. Which, yes, had officially begun yesterday, but they'd OOCly been busy, and thus it was happening today.

The offerings weren't elaborate: a few different types of bread, muffins, and bagels, along with spreads of various kinds. Fresh fruit and granola bars were also available to grab, and of course beverages: a pot of coffee, a kettle with hot water for tea, and a pitcher of orange juice.

This could all be found in the dining room, with the kitchen of course available should anyone wish to make themselves anything more involved.

[ooc: open for residents or anyone who’d feel an inclination to stop by!]

"Kamala, hello!" Steven said, the British accent, smile, and general enthusiasm setting him apart from Marc if the rumpled clothes and posture wasn't enough. "Wonderful to meet you. I'm Steven. With a V."

"Oh hi! Yes, Mr. Spector told me about you," Kamala said, cheerfully over her cup of tea. "You two really do look alike. It's very nice to meet you."

"You as well," Steven said with a smile. Unlike Henry and Arden, Kamala struck Steven as not minding a little enthusiasm this morning. Which was good because without an outlet for it Steven might burst. "Marc tells me that you're from a world like ours? That's marvelous, isn't it?"

Steven was absolutely making a Captain Marvel pun there just for Kamala.

"Very marvelous!" Kamala agreed. "I've met a lot of people from my world but none of them seem to be from my reality. But that's okay! They're the type of people I'd probably never get a chance to interact with back home."

Until one of the phases is about to end and then Kamala would probably get five seconds of screentime.

"I don't think there's a single one of us from the exact same time and place," Steven said.

Weird how that happened.

"But it's mental, isn't it? Sharing an island with Avengers?"

Steven wasn't as much of a fanboy as Kamala was - who could be? - but it was still clear he had no chill about how amazing he thought being around Avengers was.

"I know! Right?"

Yep. She was squealing there.

"I met Iron Man and Captain America yesterday at work. And I met Hawkeye at the picnic! They are all so nice! And Mr. Stark gave me a new phone and all the coffee gift cards a girl could ask for!"

"Do you have a Sorcerer Supreme in your world?" Steven asked. "Because we've one here in Midnight. Illyana. Our very first resident, in fact. Well, other than Llewellyn, Marc, and me."

"We do! That's Dr. Strange," Kamala said eagerly happy to talk about any kind of hero in the MCU. "I haven't met Illyana yet but Arden mentioned that she usually keeps to herself. So you guys moved in here first? How did you even find Midnight?"

"We've a Doctor Strange on our world!" Steven said. "You'd be amazed at the things that change between all the versions. Sometimes it's something small, other times it's major.

"And Midnight sort of found the island first? It can travel between dimensions, you see, and it wanted company. Unfortunately it grew up near Limbo - do you know Limbo? A sort of hell dimension? Anyway, that meant the only thing it knew to do to keep people with it was frighten them. It was Llewellyn, Marc, and me that figured out it was lonely and only wanted to be a home. Illyana helped with that. And now here we are! Happy home for anyone who wants one."

"Well I'm certainly happy with my room," Kamala replied. "Midnight decorated it perfectly. It's like my room back home but with some minor changes that I love. Perfection. No notes."

"That's wonderful to hear," Steven said. "I'm sure Midnight is well thrilled you're enjoying it. It was Llewellyn's idea to make it a boarding house. That way more people could live in it than just the three of us. It's been amazing seeing how well it's worked out. You'll let us know if you need any changes?"

"Brilliant," Steven said. "Oh! And anything we should keep in mind for food preferences? Things you like? Things we should avoid for allergies or any other reason?"

“ Well, I am Muslim. But we’re not exactly that strict. Generally, I can find anything I need to eat and be fine.”

Steven nodded. "Llewellyn and I are vegan and Marc keeps sort of kosher, so we understand finding a way to make due. The island is very good about that. Loads of food options. Shouldn't have any problem."

“I haven’t so far but you are very sweet to ask,” Kamala said with a big smile. “You’re almost as welcoming as midnight was.”

"We do our best," Steven said with a smile.

Well Steven did. Marc didn't exactly do cheer so much as not active hostility. But for Marc that was cheer.

"We're going to try to have a little gathering over in our place sometime soon," Steven said, pointing in the direction of the private residence. "Not sure of the date yet but will obviously keep everyone posted."

“Ooo! That sounds like fun. Let me know when and if I need to bring anything.”

"Only yourself is needed," Steven said. "But if you'd like to bring something to share of course it's welcome. You're not allergic to cats, are you?"
