Jude Cienfuegos --
"Don't worry, I got it all covered!" The ginger hollered back to Chessa as the girl hurried out of the door. Jude had pretty much taken over the kitchen as her current station, happy to help with the cooking. Jude was glad to see her distracted, finally able to focus on something- or someone- else for once. The past few months had been emotionally rough. Brow furrowed, she focused on the task at hand, not letting her mind wander. She was still bitter about it, and hated seeing how it affected everyone. The girl could hold one hell of a grudge when it came to family.
The kitchen buzzed with an almost muffled out, yet upbeat Latin song as Jude stirred a cooking pot of rice. She had been in charge of preparing the food, and had made plenty for the day, plus leftovers. A weird variety of smells permeated the air and wafted into the living room. Chessa's cake had finished baking already in the oven, a sweet scent, and there was still the chicken Jude had made, along with rice and some salad on the side. She was a good cook - nobody else in the apartment would deny it. The girl could dish out anything. Idly, she turned off the stove's burner, set down the wooden spoon she had used, and began digging through pantries to find a large bowl for the rice. Easier to just set out the food on the table for everyone to grab as they please, she thought.
The fact that someone new was moving in didn't sit well with Jude so far. They were a stranger, at least, to her. Chessa probably knew her better, but Jude wanted to keep 4A's family close-knitted. Still, it'd be easier on everyone, given that the past few months, everyone's part of the rent and other bills was more expensive. Jude did her best to contribute. Not just with money, but of course, feeding everyone and usually taking upon the cooking.As long as the newbie wasn't a bother, or one for drama, the girl supposed it wouldn't be too bad. Her current job didn't pay too much. Jude was stuck at a part-time job at some old movie theater; she had already finished two years of college, and didn't want to ever go back. The dream was to get into the music business, but she wanted to start a band, and the girl was painfully still solo.
"Someone help me set the table, yeah?"

Chessa Bellamy xx
Now, it was just a matter of actually remembering what this girl looked like, even though in all honesty it wasn't like that was super important, the lobby was abandoned after all - wait, not abandoned, there was someone in the very corner by the front entrance, and that was probably her! Chessa took a brief moment to brush off her clothes before making her way out into the open, a big and warm smile on her face as she came up to Tala. "Hi! I'm Chessa. And you're Tala?" She extended her hand out to shake. "It's so great to finally meet you! Here's your set of keys, oh, and also you look really nice today!" she pointed out, noticing the other seemed to be a bit dressed up. "Okay, um... follow me! The apartment's on the top floor, we can take the elevator."
Once they were in the elevator and on their way up, it suddenly occurred to Chessa that Tala wasn't even aware of the party being thrown for her. And now that she saw what she was like in person, if not a bit shy, she suddenly began to worry that maybe a party wasn't such a good idea. The last thing she wanted to do was scare away the newcomer forever. "All right, so... I already told you about our four other roommates, right? So, in 4A we like to make everything a big deal, and, um, we kind of planned a little housewarming party for you? Like, nothing huge! But my friend - her name's Jude - she's a really good cook, and I mean, really good, and she made this amazing food and I think you're gonna love it. Unless you're vegetarian, oh god I didn't even think to ask - wait it's okay, we have rice! And salad. And I made a cake. Skylar and Dante - my other friends - they also helped out and everything and they're all so excited to meet you," she stopped herself when she realized that she had been talking for the entire duration of the elevator ride. "I'm so sorry, I talk a lot sometimes, you can tell me to shut up whenever, like, really, please do."
The elevator gave a ding and opened slowly once they arrived on the top floor. "Apartment 4A, down this way on the right! Just... be sure not to confuse it for 4B, the people there are kind of..." she trailed off, not really finishing her thought. "Oh, you know. But you're gonna love it here Tala, it's a nice place, I swear." Before opening the door, she reached into her back pocket to check her phone for a text, or a missed call, by reflex. She put it away suddenly, shaking her head and looking somewhat disoriented. He's not gonna text, why would he? Not that she wanted him to... yeah, no, she didn't want that at all, just checking. Within a moment's notice, her face lifted up and she offered Tala a small smile before opening the door. "Welcome to 4A, Tala!"

{You guys are honestly all so nice omg. Thanks for all the searches! I shall (eventually) make a decision!}
Tala was a bit surprised with how friendly Chessa seemed to be. It was definitely a bit intimidating, but it wasn't like Tala couldn't ramble when she found herself comfortable enough. She had forced her friends to listen to more than a few rants of her own when she got really into something. It was also sort of comforting to know she had someone so excitable as a roommate. It meant that she wouldn't have to worry too much about having to start a conversation on her own. At least, not until she relaxed a bit and was actually able to do so. She was actually pretty outgoing when she actually liked people and trusted them. It had, apparently, been a bit of a surprise to some people when she turned out to be pretty loud when she was with people she liked.
She smiled in amusement as Chessa rambled throughout the whole elevator ride. She nodded along, knowing she'd have to say something eventually, but being perfectly content to let her go on for as long as she needed. She wasn't nearly rude enough to actually interrupt. Knowing about a party was a bit nerve wracking too, but it was only a few people. She could handle a few people. She'd been to parties before and had never liked the huge amount of people that always seemed to be there, but she could definitely handle a small number of people in a relatively calm space.
"No, no, don't worry," she assured her as she apologized. She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. "It's fine. I'm not vegetarian, by the way, so don't worry about that. Thank you." She was truly flattered by the fact that they even thought to throw her a party. She had thought she would just be getting settled in, but it was nice to know that they were trying to make an effort with her. It was kind of exciting, for all that she was nervous about it.
Tala wasn't oblivious to the the disappointment in Chessa's gaze when she looked at her phone. She looked off to the side, not wanting to ask. She didn't think it was her place. Not now, at least. Maybe if they were closer, she would ask, but whatever happened in the past wasn't her business right now. She was in a new apartment and she wanted to make this day a good day. There was no need to bring up any bad memories. She looked forward as the door was opened and tentatively stepped inside.
