I do not own Homestuck or its characters in any way shape or form... though I wish~

" Well Miss Lalonde, that is certainly a way of greeting your new roommate I have never thought possible." Kanaya chuckled, running her delicate fingers through the purring cat's fur. "By the way may I ask this little fellow's name?" She gestured to the feline currently smearing his face all over her. Rose smirked and leaned against the wall of the hallway.

"First impressions are always the most important, are they not?" Rose extended her hand to the girl," That little fuzzball is known as Jaspers or as you get to know him better, 'That little shit' it's your call really."Kanaya smiled, grasping the shorter girl's offered hand and allowed herself to be pulled onto her feet. Kanaya towered over Rose, who barely made it to her shoulder.

Kanaya stood 5'8 to Rose's height of 5'3, a significant height difference in the blonde's opinion. Jaspers wound himself around both their legs meowing and mewling demanding to be held. Kanaya scooped up the protesting feline to place him on her shoulder. Who quickly abandoned protesting in favor of purring while flopped on her shoulders impersonating a fluffy scarf with claws. Both girls smiled at the smug feline, before meandering down the hall to scope out the house together.

Kanaya's solid green eyes seemed to capture all the room yet focus on nothing in particular. Her eyes darted from the hideous flaky wallpaper to the musty carpet finally to rest her gaze upon Rose's appraising look.

"It is not as what I had pictured, but I am positive we can recreate it with a fancy and modern flair." Rose tilted her head and she could swear that she could see the wheels spinning in this girl's head. I hope to god she won't mind, the cat's ability to destroy wallpaper. Hmm no paint would be a better idea. Rose made a mental note to mention paint to Kanaya.

"I agree, Kanaya. However, do you wish to choose your room now? I am fine with either of them." She gestured down the hall. " The rooms are both quite small but can be a quite comfortable living spaces given time and effort." Jaspers erupted into a deep rumbling purr as the raven scratched the underside of his jaw line with a delicate finger.

The apartment was laid out in a rather peculiar way; the bedrooms were side by side with a connected door both, across the hall from the bathroom and living room. The kitchen was next to the bedrooms and doubled as a dining room. The kitchen was a faded dandelion yellow, with a red trim. A perfectly hideous combination according to the raven. The bathroom was missing 2 tiles next to the sink. Both bedrooms contained a rather sad-looking door to the balcony, that looked big enough to only support potted plants and maybe a fold up chair if you were lucky.

Kanaya chose the room farthest from the door with a small window lighting up the room better than the dinky little light-bulb in the ceiling could even attempt to. Jaspers purred throughout the entirety of the tour of the household, comfortably watching from his perch upon the raven's shoulder.

"My belongings should arrive any moment now." Kanaya spoke as she removed the feline from her shoulder to place on the floor. "In the mean time would you appreciate a hand in shifting your paraphernalia to your room, Rose?" The blonde stretched and felt a satisfying crack as the vertebrae of her spine aligned once again.

"Why of course, thank you for your offer." Rose knelt to grasp one of the boxes containing her clothing. In an instant the flimsy bottom of the box fell open, clothing and a framed photo fell to the floor.

"Oh shit, I suppose more duct tape would have been most helpful." Rose grumbled and loaded her arms up with her clothing. Not noticing the fallen picture.

Kanaya plucked the photo from the floor and looked at it. A beautiful blonde woman was resting her head on a tall man's shoulder with black hair and a fedora. Two young girls seemingly aged 4 and 7 hugged each other as the camera captured their happiness. A goofy grin on the smaller of the two girls as she clutched her older sister. A small handwritten message was written in bright pink ink upon the backside of the photograph.

I love you Rosie, you were always the best sister I could ask, for please forgive me. Love Roxy.

Kanaya looked from the photograph to Rose's retreating figure down the hall. She left the photograph standing up on the kitchen counter and grasped a box to follow Rose down the hall.

The room Rose had chosen contained faded pink carpet, and surprisingly white walls with little to no chipped places. She still needed to put a couch or a bed in as she couldn't really bring her mother's couch without being noticed. She had a collection of quilts and pillows she piled into the corner of her room.

I suppose this will do for now, Rose thought piling her boxes in the corner opposite the window. She surveyed the space mentally arranging it to suit her desires.

Two boxes of clothing, another rather large box full of books, Jaspers' stuff, enough quilts to build a rather impressive fort, and a rather colourful collection of yarn and knitting needles. Still to be obtained she noted; A bed/couch, chest or some nice place to keep her belongings, a bookshelf, and maybe if she felt like being especially extravagant maybe a not-so-shitty laptop.

Kanaya deposited the load she was carrying upon the floor next to the impressive collection of yarn. Jaspers hurled himself through the door into the yarn box causing mayhem and destruction to the previously tidy amount of yarn. The blonde knelt and retrieved the feline from the mess and closed the box before the little black puffball could dive back into the nest of wild and soft yarn-balls.

"I see you enjoy knitting," Kanaya raised an eyebrow and gestured to the box of knitting supplies,"Is it a difficult skill?"

"Once you get the hang of it, it's as simple as picking flowers," Rose shrugged, "it's a rather enjoyable hobby of mine, if you would like I could teach you at some time."

A sharp knocking announced the arrival of Kanaya's belongings, Jaspers shot the down the hallway like hell hounds were salivating on his tail.

"OH SHIT! JASPERS!"

Kanaya bit her lip to try to encase the giggle fit as her new roommate tore down the hallway after the cat, thinking;

I believe we will soon have a wonderful guard cat at this rate. Kanaya listened to Rose's apologies to the person at the door.

This will surely be an interesting beginning to a new life.

Another chapter I dunno if it was worth it but read and review~
