House Plans

"So, Starfire," you say after a moment, "why was it you came looking for us?"

Starfire straightens up as if she were woken from a trance.

"Oh, yes," Starfire says, "I was sent to find you so that you could talk with Cyborg about the house that we're going to build."

You and the girls walk back to the main room, the two sisters behind you.

"There you are," Cyborg says as you enter. "We wanted to make sure all three of you were here to give input on the house."

You and Blackfire sit by your sister as Cyborg pulls out a 3D display of the house.

"We just need to go over colors and the furnishings for the house, so that you'll all be comfortable with it."

The display highlights the outside walls with bright yellow lines around the edges.

"Alright, now what color would you like these to be?"

"Could we have multiple colors?" Flashfire asks. "Like a rainbow all over the house!"

"Well, I don't know..." Cyborg says, rubbing the back of his head.

"That would be glorious!" Starfire says, rushing over. "And it would make your home much easier for us to find when we come to visit."

"Well, we should ask Blackfire first," you say. "This is technically her gift."

"I don't mind having a rainbow house," she says. "It'll be so dazzling, inside and out!"

"Then it is agreed," you say. "Rainbow colored walls all around!"

"Okay..." Cyborg says. "Well, what about the floors? I recommend hard wood over carpet, since you'll be on an island, and insects could hide in the fabric."

"Agreed."

"So, now we just need to choose what kind of wood, and the pattern we set it in."

"The dark wood looks good," you say. "And that parquet style is nice."

"Alright," Cyborg says, putting it into the display. "So the house will look a little like this."

The display shows the house with a nice chocolately brown wood for the floor, and a rainbow-stripe pattern on all the walls.

Flashfire and Blackfire marvel at the bright bands of color, and how they all go well with the floor.

"Now that that's settled," Cyborg says, putting the display away, "time to turn in, we've got a lot to do tomorrow."

Everyone heads to their rooms, Flashfire rooming with Starfire while you and Blackfire return to your usual room.
