I dare you... bring in the big guns... Oberyn and Ellaria. I wanna see this shit unfold.
((Deep breath... alright, guys, itās happening. I am... not as of yet bringing in Ellaria because I donāt have NEARLY as good a hold on her other than ābig heart eyes @ oberynā and thatās not particularly interesting. So uh... yeah. Chaos +2. Also: I am going to reopen the ask box once I have this posted!))
Things are going as they usually do. Some rerun of a basketball game is playing on the TV, the boys are absorbed in their own things, be it a phone or a book or the game (Din is trying to figure out the rules of basketball, which is no easy feat with absolutely no context). The kidās down for a nap. Itās pretty quiet, these five (or six, you know, details) have learned to get along pretty well. Still some bickering over leaving dishes in the sink and whoās supposed to take the trash out, but thatās just⦠how it is living with other people. Itās still a little chaotic, honestly, but itās handleable.
Then thereās a knock at the door and the lock clicks open.
āHey guys, youāre never gonna believe who I found,ā the purveyor of this fantastic experiment, Tori, shouts into the house. Immediately, the five of them exchange worried glances. Oh, god, another one? They canāt be serious. Five plus the baby is enough.
āWell, who found me, I guess,ā they mumble, walking further into the house withā¦
āYou have got to be fucking kidding me,ā Javier says, clearly even more surprised and concerned than he was.
āTwo?ā Max asks incredulously.
Oneās clearly more interested to be here than the other. The darker haired of the two is looking around curiously, maybe even a little confused. The other, the blond, looks irritated beyond belief. Daggers in his eyes everywhere he looks, his face in a severe scowl.
āWell, folks, allow me to introduce you to Oberyn Martell,ā they say, gesturing to him, smiling genuinely, āand Maxwell Lord.ā The smile falters in genuineness.
āMaxwell? Well thatās gonna get confusing,ā Jack says, eyes flicking between him and Max Phillips.
āIt wonāt because I refuse to participate in this,ā Maxwell snaps. Jack makes a surprised, mildly amused face back.
āBless your heart,ā he responds.
āThis is going to be rather interesting, I think,ā Oberyn says, countering Maxwellās outlook. Heās eyeing the group of men with great interest, a winning smile, and a look in his eyes the boys canāt quite pin down. āPleasure to meet all of you.ā
āIām gonna show them their rooms, then Iāll leave yāall to it,ā Tori says. The three disappear up the stairs, and various sighs come from the five men, Javier burying his face in his hands, Jack taking off his hat to run his hand through his hair⦠Ezra looking vaguely amused. Max is still just surprised, and Din of course is unreadable as usual.
āItās fine. Itās fine! Weāve learned to live with each other in just a couple short weeks, whatās two more bodies, right?ā Max tries to encourage the group, but mostly himself.
āIām somewhat familiar with Oberyn but whoās this Maxwell guy?ā Jack asks.
āHe looks like a rich asshole,ā Javi mumbles.
A few minutes pass and only two people come down the stairs; Oberyn and Tori.
āAlright, so, Maxwellās locked himself in his room and is pretty much acting like a child,ā Tori explains. āHeās gotta come down to eat, so youāll probably see him then. Try to be nice to him even if he doesnāt give you much reason to. Heās⦠not thrilled to be trapped here and if Iām being honest Iām not thrilled he materialized here. Anyway, yāall just⦠get along, you know my number if you need anything. Oberyn, donāt kill anyone or injure them.ā
āAnd they both know the⦠situation?ā Max asks.
They nod. āYeah. Maxwell is not going to be talkative but⦠god willing heāll get used to it and open up a little bit.ā
So with that, the keeper of the chaos leaves, and Oberyn makes himself comfortable on one of the sofas in the living room while the original five seem to try to wrap their heads around the fact this has just happened.
