Despite their little housewarming get-together feeling overdue, both residents of 944 Swallow Lane are clearly enthusiastic about showing their friends around on a house tour. Bob joins a few times when Krem's leading, piping up with a cheeky comment every so often alluding to his and Krem's favourite things to do in certain parts of the house. Nothing too lewd, but it fits with the way Bob's eyes are often drifting in his partner's direction. They've had a rough couple of months, even in his usually laidback opinion, and this feels like a real opportunity to create some more positive memories.

When he's not joining the short tour, Bob's at the cocktail station offering people drinks that he's got the recipes for printed out. He's no mixologist but the idea of serving people fruity and safe cocktails makes him feel useful. Like a proper adult with an actual house and classy friends who might enjoy that.

"Don't worry, ain't gonna find any shit in here that's going to make you horny until the cows come home," he can be heard saying, reassuring their guests that there are no aphros in his concoctions. Just the effort he's pouring into these glasses to try and make them taste not completely shit.

The living room is set up with obvious activities to entertain them for the evening - an empty vodka bottle placed on its side, ready for playing spin the bottle. A couple of decks of cards and a stack of flash cards with names of different items of clothing on it - the strip part of these card games are fully optional. Near the TV are a couple of microphones hooked up to a karaoke machine, ready for those feeling brave enough to belt out some kind of song. What's actually available to sing along to remains to be seen and whether or not it has any songs familiar to the singer is hit or miss.

There's a tray of empty glasses set up for a drunk waiter challenge, and a box of Jenga blocks, the outside of the packaging clearly giving the impression that this is an after dark version of the game. For anybody who sets it up to play, they'll notice each block has an intimate dare engraved into the wood.

But the one thing Bob is keen to direct people towards is the old looking polaroid-style camera. A way to capture these moments with their people and put up the photos around the house. Anything to remind them of the good times. Bob doesn't recognise everybody who shows up, but he seems perfectly happy to have a chat to anyone, so long as they're not causing trouble, whether they were actually invited or not.
