The windows in the car were darkly tinted and Ruby watched as Orion drove them out of the city and into the woods. There were still houses around but they were few and far between. A few times she even noticed houses that were completely demolished assumingly by Grimm attacks and she wondered if the villains would even be the biggest worry living all the way out here.

When they pulled into the long drive leading up to the house Ruby thought for a minute that they may have taken a wrong turn. The house looked…normal. She leaned over to look out the front window as the road and car turned to lead up to the house. It was a newer house for sure; it didn't look like the normal construction of any of the buildings in town or the ones that they passed on the way (the ones still standing that is). It did look homey like some of the houses that they had passed on the way but it looked almost brand new where the others she could see from the road had some wear to them and this one looked as if the paint could still be wet.

As they were approaching the garage Orion hit a button on his dashboard and the big garage door opened upwards, it was big enough for two cars but the other spot was empty. Once they were parked in the garage and the door was down again Orion nodded to Ruby that it was ok for her to get out of the car. So she did and she went and stood awkwardly next to the trunk waiting impatiently to get her bag and her Crescent Rose in her hands. Orion came and popped the trunk lid open and grabbed out her suitcase despite Ruby's best efforts to carry it herself. He did, however, let her carry her weapon.

"Le'me show you to your room." Orion said cheerily as he led Ruby into the house. "Celeste is out ri' now getting some things. The whole house has this lockdown feature but in case of a breach the entire basement level is a panic room and by the time anyone gets in the army should be here. No one really knows you two are here and since most of your time will be spent in the basement living quarters with Roman anyways there's a low chance of anyone seeing you through the windows. Celeste and I will be living above you and if anyone takes a look in this direction they won't think it's any more than a happy couple staying here"

"Basement?" Ruby asked curiously.

Orion cursed under his breath. "He said he was gonna have someone walk you through the details of the house..."

"Well… I mean they gave me some maps of the land, the actual house, and neighboring areas… but no one really told me I'd be living in a tiny basement with this guy…" She said a little disheartedly.

"Oh." Orion laughed. "It's not a tiny basement at all. It's one level but it's pretty wide and it's a bit longer than the house itself. Imagine if someone built an extra thick dust infused metal box, er…rectangle actually… and then put a tiny house on top of it." He led her to a doorway and opened it to reveal the stairs heading down. "After you m'dear" he said as he held out his arm like an usher.

Orion followed closely behind Ruby and she stopped a few steps away from the stairs as she took in the sight around her. The stairs had led down into the middle of a large hallway and Ruby looked both directions curiously. While she had been walking down the stairs Orion had gotten her attention and knocked against the wall that was against their right side telling Ruby that the wall was one of the outside walls of the basement. The house he explained a little better was on top of the basement but part of the house hung off the edge.

At the base of the stairs Ruby was motioned to continue off the stairs and head straight ahead to the end of the hallway. When she got to the end of the hallway it opened into a giant L shaped living space. There was a corner dedicated as a study area where a desk and computer sat, nearby was a chess set on a table and two plush chairs for the players to sit in. On the wall next to Ruby was a giant mounted TV surrounded by a 'U' shaped sectional. Orion showed her into the room and led her over so she could see the other part of the room that was hidden from her original view. When she could see around the corner she noticed it was mostly bookshelves lining the walls and the far wall held a closed door. The first part of the living room must have been the main living area. She glanced at the door again.

"That's Roman's rooms. I'm pretty sure he's in there at the moment, usually when the door is shut like that he's not want'n to be bothered." Orion put his arm around Ruby and turned her back towards the door to the hallway. "how'bout we go ahead and show you to your own rooms."

Ruby's own rooms were at the opposite end of the hallway from the living room, this end of the basement didn't have a door into Roman's private areas. Orion had given her the tour of her rooms, there was three rooms total, and then he left her to get settled in. Ruby sat on her bed and pulled out the maps she had been given and a simple one Orion had drawn up for her of the basement after the tour. She had been right. The hallway went along almost the entire west wall of the basement; there was a door at each end. Ruby's own room was north and the living room was south. That meant the bookshelf part of the living room and Roman's rooms were on the east wall. Orion had added in Roman's door but drew the room as one giant box. He had drawn her own rooms as one solid box as well. If he had more than one room behind that door Ruby would probably never know.

Ruby's rooms formed a rectangle at the end of the hall. The first room she had entered at the end of the hall was an office with a whole wall of monitors showing all security cameras on the outside of the house and in the common areas of the house and basement. The monitors hung on the wall above a giant wooden desk and under the desk was a computer tower. The office room led into a large bathroom and the bathroom led into her bedroom. The bathroom looked large since it housed only a toilet, a sink, and a shower just big enough to stand in. Her bedroom was absolutely bare except a twin size bed and a cheap looking white armoire for her clothing, which was amazing since both pieces of furniture seemed to take up most of the room. All three of her rooms for some reason though looked like they were the same size. Ruby had growled in frustration when she had seen how tiny her bedroom was and how 'big' her bathroom was. Looking at Orion's basement map she noticed now that Roman's personal area was almost as long as the hallway and wide, the surface area looked like it was bigger than the living areas plus her three rooms. Ruby tossed the papers on the ground and lay back in her bed frustrated. 'WHO DESIGNED THIS PLACE!' She screamed in her head.
