This time he had to leave work earlier than usual for a faculty meeting and also hoping to complete some tasks before the start of the festival. He woke up at around 4 for his routine morning jog, tended to his plants and made some savoury breakfast; classic french toast and salami ,plus a freshly brewed pot of coffee for both him and his roomie Aria. After he showered and prepared, he paced through the room for his keys, fishing through drawers and notches on the sofa. Though their apartment may seem like a forested warehouse, in the aspect of organisation, they somehow, and surprisingly manage it swimmingly. Though Jo would find himself tripping at certain things, he's glad if that they would work together at organising and cleaning, which is also something they casually bond over. Thoughtfully, Josiah left a sticky note just beside the meal for Aria and his early departure. [center][color=8dc73f][i]"Sorry, can't join for breakfast. Intense faculty meeting today. Nevertheless, enjoy the banquet :-) -Jo"[/i][/color][/center] At Uni everybody was getting busy, with the upcoming festival and what not, SVU has it's own participation on the festival activities. Jo for one volunteered to be the tour guide for the event, and being the likely man who's got a vast knowledge on Silvervale's culture and history. In the wake of the festival, the landlord, Bert apparently had the night planned for them after skimming through the bulletin boards the days before. A party, he thought. How exciting. It would be the first time Josiah will be participating in Redwood's exclusive tradition, somehow he felt honored. And also, realising their landlord's dear efforts Josiah took it upon himself to contribute something for the party. While on a lighthearted car ride home, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqxVMLVe62U]radio turned on[/url] just in time for a jiving tune which he danced and sing along the whole car ride, he planned on dropping by the store to get some extra drinks for the evening. At the store he grabbed a two cases of beer, lugged in one strong arm, and of course two bottles of expensive champagne on the other. After exchanging a few polite talks with the owner he had went on his way and placed the items on the back of his car. There was a call for him, at the right time he went in his car, looking at flashing name on the phone, he smiled, and pressed on the screen. [color=8dc73f]"Ground control to Major Sadie. "[/color] "Dad. Really." Jo could hear his daughter's suppressed chuckle at his attempt of a joke. [color=8dc73f]"I believe you meant to say 'Ground control to Major dad', yes? "[/color] Jo was laughed at her daughter's unenergetic little 'uuuugh' in the background. [color=8dc73f]"I really missed the days when we used to talk silly like that."[/color] "You know I grew out of my Bowie phase since like, 14 right?" [color=8dc73f]"I did notice since you stopped dressing up like him on holloween. You were always so adorable in your skyblue suit and flashy make up."[/color] "[b]Moving on,[/b]" he could feel her daughter mixed feelings of embarrassment and regret at the memory. Sadie took the chance then, to abruptly changed the topic "I have the school day off this Monday to Wednesday sooo good news! I'll be able to stay in Silvervale for a few days." [color=8dc73f]"That's great! "[/color] Josiah was thrilled, he'd really been wanting to spend the festival with her daughter, and make her experience his rather simple life as a resident of Silvervale. [color=8dc73f]"I should make arrangements wuth bert for your stay then. For the time being you could stay with me. "[/color] "Actually dad, I've already got that part covered. Besides I wouldn't want to disturb the peace." [color=8dc73f]"I obviously don't mind, and I think Aria wouldn't too."[/color] "I know, but that's not really what I meant." Josiah raised a brow and before he could follow Sadie cut him off "Anyway, got to go. Have some things to catch up on. Say hi to Aria for me kay dad? Bye. Love you." Jo looked over at his phone after the beep, aside from that rather vague statement he didn't even got the chance to ask her where she would be staying. He could just ask her later, if only to know she'd be staying somewhere nice and not decided upon it impulsively. God knows that girl can be a inhabited, [color=8dc73f][i]now i wonder where she got that from?[/i][/color] That afternoon Josiah arrived at Redwood, grabbing the beer cases and champagne in an armful and headed to the entrance. He caught sight of somebody in the foyer, a young woman was relaxing with a book. It was Pepper. Jo had seen her a couple of times before, and never missed dropping a polite greeting or two when they pass each other. She seems like a sweet young woman if not a bit quiet. [color=8dc73f]"Hello."[/color] he took a moment to greet her once more, [color=8dc73f]"Lovely day for good book, yes? "[/color] though he wasnt really sure what Pepper got to read. After the short interaction he decided to not further disturb her, and went up to the deck where he found Ritz and Bert setting up the party. [color=8dc73f]"Well if you need another one, I'm happy to offer."[/color] he said at Ritz statement as he puts down cases and champagne down the table with light ease, making it seem far lighter that it actually is.
