older man!neighbor!price

aaaayyyoo??? my little thing i posted last night kinda popped off. here’s another one before i fall off again (10 whole reblogs?? you guys are so cute).

price is sliiiightly older in this. think like mid to late 40’s. older man, next door neighbor. i envision this in a timeline where he retired early. this is very house-wife, american pie dream kinda deal. what can i say (hawk screech). OBVIOUSLY, some puss eating. what’s the reverse of a munch? not the one who eats, but the one who is eaten? cause that’s me. there’s a decent amount of set up for this one, but its not too long.

Part 2

neighbor!price is the kind of person you see that makes you pick up your phone and call your friends to tell them about the ‘hot ass dilf’ that you just saw leave the house next to yours. you had been in and out of the house all day, cleaning and moving in the smaller pieces of furniture into the previously vacant home.

the sun was just setting when you decided to stop, your clothes slightly damp from the thin coat of sweat that covered your body. you had taken the chance to finally sit down for the first time today, your body giving in as you plopped down onto the wooden steps that lead up to the porch.

you saw a car in the distance slowly approaching, it didn’t catch your attention again until it turned into the driveway adjacent to your home. a few seconds after it parked, an older man stepped out.

“well helllloooo neighbor…” you mumbled to yourself, smirking before deciding to stand up and greet him. just a new neighbor doing their neighborly duties of introducing themselves °_°

he hadn’t been paying attention until he saw your shadow being casted on the ground next to him. he turned his head to look at you.

his eyes locked with yours, boring into your skull the longer you looked at him. his face was covered in blonde and white hair, his beard kept fairly short. he was built too, his biceps practically being the size of your head, his t-shirt leaving little to the imagination.

it had felt like minutes since you approached him, staring into his eyes as he waited for you to say something.

“he-i just moved-next door-neighbor!!” you struggled to get out, your mouth suddenly becoming dry now that you are face-to-face. he gave you a tight lipped smile, nodding his head once before extending his hand out.

“john.” he said simply, “i live next door.” he smirked, his tone dry, but kinda humorous? or maybe he was just making fun of your struggle to introduce yourself. (YEEESSSSS MAKE FUN OF ME MAKE ME FEEL INFERIOR….srry, need to control myself).

you said your goodbyes and didn’t even get through the front door before you were calling your friend.

the next few days were exhausting. the movers had finally shown up and you were finally able to sleep in your bed once again. your home was still filled with boxes upon boxes upon boxes but you were determined to finally take a night to relax.

god must’ve had the devil on speed dial that night, because NOTHING went right. what was supposed to be a quiet night in bed with a glass of wine, quickly turned into a disaster when you went to take a shower. you had opted for a bath the last few nights, enjoying the warmth on your achy muscles from unpacking.

you pulled the tab that would usually start the shower head; you didn’t even have time to process what happened before you were drenched in water. you let out a panicked scream, trying to backtrack and shut off the water. the shower head had come clean off and was now spraying water over the entire room.

you were frozen in place, unsure of what to do or who even to call. your body was moving faster than your brain, you were already out the front door and knocking on your neighbors door in a frenzy.

he was old…er. he looked like a dad! he definitely would know what to do!

price was puzzled by the scene in front of him when he opened the door. you were soaked beyond belief, your hair sticking to your forehead, your eyes wide like you were a deer in headlights.

“can you please help me!” you begged, your voice so soft and sweet, your lips pouting out every so slightly. “my-my fucking shower exploded, or something!”

he agreed, following behind you with a small tool bag in his hand. you left a trail of water behind you, your bare feet hitting the concrete of the sidewalk as you walked quickly back to your home. john would never admit it, but he was staring. the shirt you wore was soaked and clung tightly to your body. outlining your figure.

john was able to rectify the situation rather quickly, even teaching you a few things about homeownership whilst he did. he was able to find the water shut off valve in your basement, stopping the water from spraying and almost flooding your bathroom. he also reattached the shower head, making sure it would actually stay out this time.

you thanked him profusely, over and over and over again all the way back to his front door where you followed him. you said your goodbyes, not without saying thank you one more time.

but it just wasn’t enough. that man, your neighbor, a stranger, john. was considerate enough to go out of his way to help you. you had to make it up to him! so you did…

by baking!! obviously!! :)

chocolate chip cookies, of course. everyone likes a good cookie!

once they were done and cooked you wrapped them up in plastic wrap, a small note attached to the top.

a thank you note.

you dropped them off on his doorstep the next morning, leaving them there for him to find.

the next few months were pretty consistent. thankfully, no more shower head explosions. you had a few problems here and there, but nothing you couldn’t fix!!…or that john could fix for you…

you paid him in baked goods and hot meals. even going out of your way to find out his favorites. he didn’t mind, he enjoyed it, maybe a little too much.

you had been out of town for a few days, taking an extra long weekend to go out and have fun. john agreed he would keep an eye on your house while you were gone. making sure nothing or nobody messed with it.

he would’ve done it even if you didn’t ask him

when you returned home you made it a priority to make dinner for both yourself and john that night. a quick and yummy thank you.

you packed the food in a small container, sticking a little note to the top just explaining what you made and what was in it. you might’ve drawn a little heart or two on it as well, but i’ll never tell.

you were in a pale yellow sun dress, the bottom of the dress juuuuusst barely covering the top half of your thighs. you knocked on john’s door, box of food in hand with a smile on your face. the door swung open, but it wasn’t john.

it was another man. a black man with sharp features and short hair. “is john home, by chance?” you asked.

the man in front of you smiled widely, a sort of mischievous smile. a ‘i know something you don’t knooooow’.

he wasn’t given a chance to respond before the man was pulled back by his shoulder and john appeared in front of him. john was quick to shut the door, gently coaxing you to walk half way down the path in front of his house, away from the door. he had a look on his face, he seemed annoyed, not at you, but at the situation.

“i’m sorry, i didn’t know you had company.” you smiled apologetically, “i just wanted to say thank you.” you said, holding up the container of warm food.

john gave a tight lipped smile back, graciously accepting the food.

“don’t worry about it,” he mumbled, “thank you.”

you went on your merry way, scampering your way back up your steps and into your house. not without a quick wave before the door slammed shut.

john held his head in his hands, letting out a deep breath before turning to head back inside. he could see 3 separate breaks in the blinds from where 3 people were peeking through. the second he noticed it, they were gone. blinds completely back to normal.

he walked back inside, preparing for the comments that would be made by his guests.

“she’s prettier than you described, cap.” said a smug Gaz, Johnny nodding frantically in agreement.

“Might have to snatch her up myself, old man.” Johnny joked. his joke being met with a harsh slap to the back of his head from Ghost.

it had been a few days since you had seen john. you were used to having at least one daily encounter with him, but now he seemed like he was avoiding you. you didn’t stress about it too much, just assumed he was busy with…whatever he did in his free time.

you were half a bottle of wine down when you heard a knock on the door. you weren’t expecting any visitors so you had decided to drink a little more than you usually would.

you swung the door open, all precautions to the wind as you didn’t even check who it was.

it was john.

“oh-john,” you smiled sweetly, his name sounded like the texture of honey when you spoke it. he liked it. he liked it a lot.

“can i come in?” he asked bluntly. he didn’t really wait for you to answer, pushing his way in and standing next to you.

so close to you.

“is something wrong?” you asked, a worried expression on your face. your brows furrowed in slight frustration. concern.

he was quiet, his breathing shaky as he thought of what to say. he had no idea of how to beat around the bush, how to say what he wanted to say without it being too forward. but what’s wrong with a little honesty?

“i want you so badly.” he said in a quiet, deep voice. his eyes looking directly into yours, holding eye contact.

you weren’t sure if you heard him right at first, thinking that your mind was playing tricks on you. making you think he said something else but there’s no way he said that…right?

“r-right now?” you asked.

he was surprised by your question, not at all expecting that kind of response.

he nodded.

all it took was a small nod back at him before he jumped your bones. his hands were hot and heavy as they touched and saw new areas of skin. your shirt was bunched up by your collarbones before you knew it, his tongue quickly finding place on your nipples.

gaaaawwwddd, he’d play with them forever if he could. making sure to keep them taut and wet for the rest of eternity. leaving sloppy wet kisses and small bite marks behind.

you had made it to the couch at some point, time was a blur for the moment. your only focus on the way his hands ravished your body.

he would periodically make eye contact with you before doing certain things. making sure that it’s what you wanted and that you were enjoying it. he had started to shimmy your panties down before looking at you again even tho he did just moments ago. you nodded enthusiastically, desperately wanting him to touch you.

he knew once they were off that he wouldn’t be able to control himself. he was on his kees; he had set you on one of the arms on the couch, one leg hanging loosely over his shoulder already while he held the other one in place.

yes his knees were screaming at him for acting like he had the same body he did in his 20’s. no he didn’t really care how much it’ll hurt later.

the second your underwear was off your leg, he was going for it. he used his thumbs to spread you open slightly, admiring it before licking a looooooong, slow stripe up the middle, ending on your clit.

he’d be such a fucking tease. going all in and bringing you right to the top of your peak before pulling away or slowing down. you’d protest, desperation dripping from your words.

he’d get you to a point where all you could say was “please please please please”. he’d finally decide to cave, not stopping this time. it was almost too much for you to handle, your legs trembling and shaking.

he wouldn’t stop after either. you’d pull at his hair, letting out a cry as you tried to pry him off. but you were just sooooo weak from the last one :,( after the 4th or 5th, maybe 6th? you had lost count. he would finally let you go. making sure to give your pussy a small smack, enjoying the small squeal you let out a little too much.

and he’d make sure to fuck you silly too. turning you so that you would hang over the arm of the couch. he had to completely support you weight, which was fine with him. he’d ask for permission before even pulling his dick out; he’d use your own wetness as lube to stroke himself a few times before pushing in.

god he was sooo big, much bigger than any guy your own age.

he would 100000% talk you through your orgasms. you can’t remember a single thing he said, but you remember it being amazing.

once you were both done, he would take care of you. no doubt about it. he’d carry you to bed, bring you water, dress you in a new pair of pajamas and as long as you invited him, he would cuddle up next to you and hold you.

HUGE into pillow talk. would just talk about anything and would listen to whatever you said. nodding along with you.

the next time you cooked for him, it was extra delicious. and he’d be sure to tell you that when returning the container the next morning.

but not without updating you in his new favorite meal.

you.

SOMEBODY SEDATE ME. oh my fucking gaaaawwedddd

A Proper Welcoming Party - Epilogue

Always Rig to Blow

Parts 1 2 3 and extra context

Jumping short distances with an emergency activation is generally safe due to the simple fact that the universe is so vast that 99.9999% of the time you'll end up in empty space.

This group of Big Thrashers raiders - Gobsmack's Gobbers (Big Thrasher named everyone and objections meant death) - found themselves in a nightmarish cluster of icy planetesimals, heavily illuminated for some reason, and criss-crossed with makeshift installations and contraptions whose purpose one could only guess at.

Alarms rang out of imminent collision as one of the ice rocks was hurtling towards their general direction. Barely composing themselves, the crew managed to fire up the engines and perform evasive maneuvers, but only just. And only for a brief moment - they were in a navigational nightmare, the likes of which even the most hardcore simulations only ever run as an example for places you never, ever, EVER fly into.

To add to their distress and confusion, the raiders were hailed by a lone Human vessel, which was darting with unbelievable agility through the impossible and ever changing field.

"Howdy there, names Abigail, you boys are lost I'm guessin'. Keep moving for a bit more, I'll turn off the Intermediate track config."

The Gobbers were stunned and blinded by a sudden outburst of hundreds of massive jets streaming immense propulsion force from all of the moving icy objects. Viewed from afar, a magnificent sight to behold - cascading lights, reflections, fiery cones, and sparkly clouds from escaping ice particles. Viewed from within, pure terror, a torturous miasma of fire, ice, dust, and raw force of power emanating from whatever is powering all these massive engines.

Merely a few seconds later though, complete silence. Peaceful even.

"So... bad jump, eh? It happens. Real poor luck ending up here though, gotta say. You should buy lottery tickets beating the odds like this!"

Abigail snort-laughs.

"If ya want, hook up to any of the track-layer movers, those things you just saw that, well, move the track pieces around. I hear our generators can fill up your wee batteries or whatever you got in minutes. Sorry I ain't got much else to offer, still working out the logistics for food and drink stalls here. Hard to get any sponsors so far out, you know?"

The raiders did not.

The more quick witted of the crew had already scanned the whole... mess of whatever this was, as well as Abigail's vessel, and realized something - all these engines mounted on some useless rocks, and her craft in particular, were extraordinarily powerful and tough, and most importantly - not attached to things with giant rail cannons. Big Thrasher wasn't here, so they were allowed to speak up and convince the others using evidence based facts and to make decisions as a group.

The pack of about a dozen ships had made a decision - they would plunder this area, take the Human as a trophy, and form a new Pirate Fleet with their soon-to-be enhanced ships. Abigail did not respond how they expected her to when they made their statement.

"Ooh, so like, you wanna have a competition, eh? See who's gonna be on top of the food chain. Alright."

An excited grin forming on her lips with that last word. A second later, every engine fired a searing jet of energy to once again engage the race track. This time on Expert difficulty.

Two of the Gobbers' ships were instantly crushed between colliding ice rocks, sending a shower of dust and debris all over the place, the rocks bouncing around (with the aid of the engines) to create a true chaos field of death.

It was a struggle to find any valid escape vectors in this ever changing vortex, but a few of the crew were working on a plan. The pilots just needed to keep the ships alive long enough. Meanwhile, Abigail was practically dancing around the field in her customized vessel, named Victor in bold neon lettering on its left flank. Whenever she spotted an opportunity, she manually fired off certain engines to make life for these pirates just a tad more unsurvivable than it already was.

Just as she had split three more ships in half with a particularly slim and sharpened icicle (the size of a small container ship) Victor came to a halt. All systems fried - it was a targeted EMP. Due to the prevalence of shielding technology, electromagnetic pulses were generally not that useful, unless you could generate one powerful enough to overwhelm the entire shield system, but that would be the equivalent of a star shooting one off, so they were rarely fielded. But as ramshackle pirate fleets go, you mount and use whatever you can get your hands on.

One of the more tech-savvy of the crew remembered that they had yet to encounter Human craft with shields, and that one of their ships had an EMP cannon. Being able to put two and two together at a greater pace than their former "Admiral", this one cleverly found a way to quickly defeat the Human.

Another crew member, who liked to dabble in the digital realm, initially dismissed their surprisingly easy access to the engine systems, thinking only a poorly set trap would use "Password" as the passcode for full system access. Once the excitement was slightly lesser from Abigail no longer making it worse every second, did they think to give it a try anyway.

And it worked. The UI was comically simple, again, most would dismiss a screen that just had five buttons on it labeled - [Beginner] [Novice] [Intermediate] [Expert] [Reset] - as a trap, but getting the sense this Human liked things simple, they pressed the Reset button, and once more the fireworks of engines and particles illuminated the area before halting the movements of the race track entirely.

Relieved beyond belief that the nightmare was over, the pirates, formerly know as Gobsmack's Gobbers (they'll come up with a new name soon, they just wanna get rid of Big Thrashers legacy as quickly as possible) set about to strip the place for all it was worth.

All of the pirate ships had indeed taken Abigail up on her previous offer and one of them was the first to finish recharging their hyperdrive, and was about to set out to go and retrieve Abigail's craft, when it suddenly burst back to life and a modified looking escape pod shot off to a fair distance from the track and the pirates who had all latched themselves to it. She opened a comm-link to the pack of raiders:

"Ehmps are annoying, but we got redundancies for a reason fellas. Also, you didn't think this place wasn't set to blow if I couldn't deal with ya'll in a bit more controlled way, did ya?

Well, cuz it is.

Rule #1, buckos - Always rig to blow."

With the flick of a switch and the brightness of a star, Abby's Action Asteroids (trademark never made it through), alongside a half-dozen of the remaining Raider ships, was no more.

Victor, or what's left of him, a shabby escape pod. Hector, sound asleep, she'd just given him a can of wet food before the whole... excitement started. And Abigail - miffed, scuffed, and a little drained, was looking to see what she hadn't "modified" or outright removed from the pod for her other "ideas". Fortunately, basic life support is intact, thrusters and quantum comms though... not so much. There's enough to cobble a regular transmitter and the cryo-stasis module appears intact.

"Welp, looks like it'll just be me, Victor, and Hector, ain't that right? (Oi, at least turn one of yer ears at me). Fine, then it'll be me and Victor. A-hem:

Dear diary, I hope somebody is less than a light-month out from here, cuz I got a fair to attend. They'll be showing off the newest burst jets. Imagine - you're going 0.002C, full stop, 180 turn, then back to 0.002C in under 10 seconds! Sure, any organic'll become a puddle, but at race-track speeds - think of the cornering we can do with that! Anyway, there's food for maybe a week, so imma join Hector now. (C'mere ya bum, we're sleepin' together). The end.

P.S. If you're the popo, it was totally self defense, I got the footage right here, I am not responsible for where the debris goes."

Too Small To Be Afraid (Chapter 3)

Links:

Cover / Master Post / Previous Chapter / Next Chapter

- - - - - - - - - -

The ride to Chancelor was a long one. It was around seven o'clock when we pulled into the station in our new home town. As soon as we got off the train, Dad's face lit up like a little kid during the Year's End Festival looking at all of the springtime decorations. He had something to say about nearly every street we went down, as well as every store and restaurant we passed. He pointed out a little bakery not far from the new apartment and suggested we check it out despite the fact that we still had our carry-ons with us.

After our aimless sightseeing was done—and by that, I mean after we managed to figure out where we were after getting lost, we finally arrived at our new apartment. We were greeted by faded blue walls, creaky floorboards, and artificial windows that wouldn't turn on. As expected, the place was barren of any furniture, so we had a rough night sleeping on the floor.

But, I'd rather be sleeping on any cold, hard floor now than moving these boxes in from the perthean lobby.

I try not to gaze upward at a ceiling that feels miles away as I go fetch more boxes to bring up to the apartment. I try not to look around me at all the furniture throughout the room that towers over me. I try to ignore the distant chatter of some pertheans having a business meeting with some humans on the other side of the room. I should feel safe at this distance, but the knowledge that one of those pertheans could come over and grab me if they wanted to lingers in the back of my mind as I walk through the lobby. A walk that would take minutes for me would be mere seconds to them. It would be nothing.

I heave one box atop some others and wheeze as I struggle to lift the whole stack up at once.

"Not so many at once, honey!" Dad says, approaching from behind. "Here, let me take this big one from the bottom."

I lift the two lighter boxes off of the bigger box so Dad can take it, and follow him up the stairs to the balcony. I keep my distance, though, lest he try to rope me into any more conversations with the perthean receptionist.

"She's almost done with high school," Dad says when he reaches the balcony.

Great. He's talking about me again. I speed up and head for the door to the human lobby as quickly as I can.

"This year will be stage 4d, her last year," he says.

"Senior year!" the receptionist exclaims gleefully. "Do you have any plans for university?"

I stop dead in my tracks. She must be talking to me.

"N-no, not yet. I'm still deciding on a career," I say. "Excuse me, I'm gonna set these boxes down."

I tighten my grip on the box in my hands and turn to enter the human lobby, a quivering breath escaping me. I don't understand why the movers couldn't have just delivered our storage container back to the undercity so we could unload through the human lobby.

"Sorry," Dad says from behind me. "She's a little shy."

I board the reserved elevator and hit '8' on the wall with my elbow. The button gives off a dull glow as a chime plays overhead and the doors begin to close.

"Wait! Hold the door!" Dad exclaims, running up to the elevator.

I'm surprised he actually wrapped up his chat with the receptionist that quickly. When Dad starts a conversation, it can be hard for him to stop. I'm just glad we're making progress with these boxes at all.

I hold the door open with my foot, and Dad joins me inside the elevator with the box he was carrying. I remove my foot from the door, and it glides shut, leaving us alone inside.

"Kaylin," Dad says. "There's something I want to talk to you about."

Oh, boy. Here it comes.

Dad lets out a cough before continuing, "I know you've been having a hard time managing your fear lately with how much we've been above ground. I know it isn't easy for you being around pertheans, but I want to make sure you know that having a fear of pertheans is not an excuse to be rude to them," he says.

I immediately regret holding the door.

"I'm not trying to be rude," I say, adjusting my grip on the boxes in my hands. "I'm just trying to get away."

"That's exactly what I mean," Dad says. "I think you owe it to them to at least try to have a decent conversation every once in a while."

"Owe it to them? Because I have a fear?" I ask. "So having a fear is wrong?"

"That's not what I mean. It's just that..." Dad sighs, shifting in place. "They deserve to be treated just like you'd treat anyone else, no matter how tall they are to us."

"But what if a perthean finds out I have a fear? What if they hold that against me? What if--"

"I think most would respect you for pushing past it," Dad interrupts.

"I want to push past it," I say, searching for the words to use. "I just don't know how I'm supposed to do that. It's so hard when all I think about is--"

"Then don't think about that," Dad interrupts again. "Like you said before, it's best not to go back there."

The elevator plays another one of its soft chimes, and the doors open for us. We step out, carrying our boxes down the hall to the apartment.

"Think on something positive. Don't you have any good memories with at least one perthean?" Dad asks.

I think for a moment. "Well, I guess Ms. Sena was nice."

"Your stage two teacher? That's a good start."

"But stage two was when..." I trail off, stopping in the middle of the hall. I look down at the boxes in my hands as my mind threatens to take me to a place I don't want to return to.

"Kaylin," Dad says, turning around.

I look up at him. "Yes?"

"This world is full of things dangerous to humans. As long as we choose to live on Perthea, we accept that risk. What matters is how we choose to respond to that risk, and frankly," he says, "I believe we're too small to be afraid."

I don't want to argue, but I can't help but wonder what that's supposed to mean as I follow Dad into the apartment.

Moving to the freezer 🍁

Hello from Canada, where the weather is just as bipolar as Katy Perry's Hot 'n Cold song. In the past 3 days I have already seen people with hats, gloves, skirts, shorts, warm winter boots and slippers. Upon arriving it was 5 degrees Celsius and raining. Weather prediction for Friday is highs op 28 degrees. A lot to get used to.

A small side note, I will continue to use the superior metric and centigrade system as the Canadians apparently can't decide on which measurement system they prefer to use. Road distances are measured in kilometers, a door height in feet and inches. All weight is measured in pounds, but driving speed in kilometers per hour. Very confusing.

Last week Monday the movers arrived and cleared the house. This was a bit worrying as we lived in a furnished house, and thus had to make sure they would not take what did not belong to us. We briefly considered telling them to clear the house out, and losing our deposit. After all, our deposit was probably a 10th of the nice furniture in the house and it would solve us a lot of hassle of buying new stuff. Luckily all went well and we believe everything that should've stayed remained. Who knows, maybe in 2 months we will unwrap some surprise gifts from the 23 cubic meters, or is it 812 cubic foot 🤔...

So once the house was raided we got to stay in a hotel we could pick from a list provided by Naomi's work. Obviously, if such an opportunity arises you select the one for the coolest experience. We ended up staying in Hotel des Indes. While Naomi still had to work, I finished up the last jobs in NL and roamed around the old center of The Hague to soak it in one last time. Arguably, the best attribute of our hotel was that it was so close to Laura's work, which allowed me to meet up with her for lunch on multiple occasions.

Then Saturday came, and it was time for departure. It was great seeing Laura, Kevin and Lars come to the airport and wave us off. After some chats and tears, it was finally time to leave. The repatriation came with business class tickets, which is a game changer for long distance travelling in my opinion. Lounge access prior to departure with lots of free food! A seat that allows you the completely recline and stretch out! Proper cutlery 😱😱😱! Never did I think an upgrade would make such a difference. But I remain with both feet on the ground. This experience probably got me my one and only KLM house. Next time back it's back to peasant class.

Upon arrival Naomi's parents picked us up and drove us around to get groceries. A big thank you to them for all their help and starter care packages. Today we have finally settled in to our 40m2 (431 sq ft) apartment where we will stay till our shipment arrives, hopefully within the next 8-10 weeks. Location is superb, right in down town. It's a 10 minute walk away from Naomi's work, and about 20 minutes to the library where I will mostly likely spend my time the coming months preparing for the PCE exam. The picture below is from one of our walks, and reminds me of the beautiful nature this country has to offer. Rockies in the distance!

A not-so-simple relocation, day 2/3

Last time, we arrived safely in "Bergen?" as the sign at the airport says, much to my eternal delight. It was a long trip, made longer by airport and airplane screwups. I had three friends in tow and my partner waiting for me at the apartment. The rest of the day was basically for rest.

Day 2 - Why does everything have to be uphill?

Day 2 started by me realizing... I had very little clean clothing. In fact, I had no clean underwear, no clean pants, and only dress shirts clean and actually present. While the baggage handler at the Bergen airport said it would arrive the same day I did... Oslo never got their shit together on a Sunday and I had to make do for an unknown amount of time.

This day was marked by reconnaissance. I needed to learn more about my new apartment to figure out what is needed, figure out the Bergen bus system, figure out the grocery stores, and so on.

The apartment itself is... weird, to me. One of my friends described it as the set to a cocaine druglord's apartment and... yeah, that matches. The view is breathtakingly gorgeous, the decor is super bright and white, and it seems to be missing a few things that don't really make a lot of sense.

Like a freezer.

Or a washing machine.

Or pillows (plural - it had one).

So, that means heading out of the house being super uncomfortable in my clothing, exhausted from the trip, and dealing with a recurring gout attack (along with other physical ailments that are a bit too gross to state). Four of us went - my partner, two of our friends, and myself, with the last friend staying behind with the cats.

A brief aside, at this point Zoan was still hiding in the master bedroom. Issun had started exploring.

Now, keep in mind - I had been exploring Google Maps around my apartment for a while. The apartment itself is very new, so most of the maps just show a hole in the ground where it is, with a couple of angles showing the buildings under construction. I had never been to the apartment and hadn't even been in this region of Bergen before. So all I really had to go on were photos of the area, which looked quite nice.

The apartment is about fifteen minutes by foot away from the closest bus stop, which happens to be right next to the two local grocery stores. A fifteen minute walk for me is pretty easy, even in my gout-addled state. I absent-minded pace for longer distances than that.

A fifteen minute walk where the entire walk is uphill for 52 meters / 170 feet? That's just a bit rougher. My legs were screaming at me at the 1/4th point, let alone for the rest of the walk. The object of this trip was to go to the mall a couple of bus stops away, buy some pillows and plug adapters*, get some lunch, come back, stop by the grocery store, then head home.

Did you see that asterisk? I had prepped for this well in advance - the price difference between buying a plug adapter in the US and buying one in Norway was huge, so I bought a large 12-pack of them to supplement the three I already had. Problem being, I think the movers packed it up for the slow boat shipment, so I had nothing.

Anyway, after a grueling 20 minute walk (because I kept needing to stop; how the hell people think walking uphill is anywhere near as easy as walking long distances, I haven't a clue), made it to the bus, head out for our shopping. We needed to make it back by the delivery window for @kriatyrr's delivery of some much needed supplies (such as more power cords).

Made it back to the apartment. We had to go out and back a second time for some food, which involved me whining the entire way of course, made it back... to find a courier dropping off all of my luggage. Everything arrived! HOORAY!

Kriatyrr's packages, however, didn't arrive during the delivery window. Turns out, they were stuck in Oslo due to delays on a Sunday. Remember that quote from earlier from the baggage handler, "Oslo needs to get their shit together on Sundays"?

Day 3 - Bus adventures

Day 3 is the first day that I specifically had something I had to do - I had a meeting with the Norwegian police. As an incoming immigrant to Norway, one of the requirements was a police interview. They want to meet you in person to take photos, fingerprints, and presumably ensure you're actually real. I had scheduled this a few weeks in advance, with the idea that I should be (mostly) on a normal sleep schedule by Day 3.

The interview location was in Fyllingsdalen, a separate borough from both downtown Bergen and the borough I live in. Technically it is one of the two in between, but due to geography I actually travel through Årstad to downtown Bergen (Bergen-hus) first before basically turning around, going back through Årstad and finally to Fyllingsdalen. This sounds way more complicated than it is; I'm already used to Madison buses where I had to circle my own neighborhood before I arrive at the closest stop to my house; this at least makes sense due to mountains being in the way.

I used the bus a bit the prior day, but this was my first real bus trip.

Transit side-note

Transit in Bergen is controlled primarily through a smartphone app. You buy the ticket on the app before you board and it is good for 90 minutes after. Buses are on the testing system; 99% of the time it is on the honor system with no one checking, 1% of the time they inspect for bus passes and give you large fines for skipping the pass. While I haven't seen anyone checking in Bergen so far, I have seen the same thing in Oslo during a visit.

Bus passes cost 40kr for a trip, 105kr for a day, 235kr for a week, 755kr for a month, and 3775kr for a half-year. In USD at the time of this posting, that's $3.60 / $9.44 / $21.13 / $67.90 / $339.48 for each of those passes. I budgeted assuming those half-year passes, but I haven't bothered with one yet. Once I'm more in the swing of things, I'll figure out how I want to handle bus passes. It also technically includes a parking pass (for those that park-and-ride), but since I don't drive that part is irrelevant to me. Bergen also has light rail (same bus pass system), but the area I live in isn't convenient to use the light rail for.

Buses come frequently by the bus stop next to the grocery store. That stop has seven bus routes stopping there, three routes going from the mall (mentioned the previous day) to the Bergen bus station. The result is that I have service roughly every 5-10 minutes during weekdays, 15 minutes on Saturdays, 30 minutes on Sundays (not that the latter matters... insert ominous foreshadowing here).

In my mind, anything going every fifteen minutes or sooner is, "just get to the bus". Anything 30 minutes or later is, "schedule your trip to make sure you don't miss the bus". It is a huge difference in mentalities, and I repeatedly lambasted Madison for depriving my old neighborhood of enough bus service to fulfill the former. If I missed a bus there, I'm an hour or two late, and taking a bus early means arriving an hour or two early. Whereas arriving at the previous bus here puts me around ten minutes earlier than expected.

Side-note over, back to the day

Anyway, our group decide on a trip that morning. Myself and my partner heading to Fyllingsdalen, two of our friends heading to Bergen-hus for some exploration, the last friend staying at home again. We'd all get off the bus at the same spot and split up from there - us to the bus transfer, them to wandering. Our stop in Fyllingsdalen was just a few stops down another bus route and would take a total of 45 minutes to get there (including the 15 minute walk uphill, which took me 23 minutes this time).

Kriatyrr and I arrived at the police station around ten minutes early... and left before the scheduled appointment time. Turns out, they really did just need to take a photo, get my fingerprints, and ask me for my address and signature. There was nothing else. After that, we spent time shopping for some housewares. I get a text from my friends mentioning that they were going to head back at this point. We decide to try to grab food (and failing - seriously, why do restaurants open so late around here, don't people eat lunch?) before heading back.

We arrived at the bus, took it down one stop, and saw our friends there, who had accidentally taken the wrong bus and just so happened to turn around and take our bus back. We made it back, rested, then head out to the mall again to buy more things. This time it was myself, the friend that kept staying at home, and the friend that kept heading out with me; Kriatyrr stayed home waiting on that package from the previous day.

This part was fairly uneventful except for one small thing. To explain that, I need to explain international banking. I'm absolutely going to put this in a video when I started recording these.

Credit Card side-note

You know how credit/debit card usage in the US requires you to occasionally sign a piece of paper, but otherwise seems super duper insecure? Yeah, the entire rest of the world thinks so as well. The chip located on a credit card is a part of a system used by EMV cards to increase security. The US migrated to it back in October of 2015, doing away with swipe-based transactions (more that the CC companies shifted fraud liability to any merchant using a swipe, and they're not going to want to deal with that).

In Europe? The same shift happened in 1993.

EMV cards are a part of a chip-and-PIN system; basically, you stick your chip into the terminal, put in a PIN, and that authorizes the transaction. It follows two-factor security, basically, as it contains something you have (the card with the chip) and something you know (your PIN) for authorization. In the US, debit cards use the same mechanism now at an ATM or a terminal supporting debit.

The US uses chip-and-signature for credit cards (as well as debit cards being used as a credit card). This is... definitely not two-factor. It combines something you have (the card with the chip) and... something no one bothers to even look at (the signature). That's one-factor, just like the strip. Europeans have been endlessly baffled when I mention this to them, and for good reason - this system is awful and useless.

Tapping to pay for things with your credit card effectively works the same way as the chip-and-signature system, only it works for values under a certain amount. Even Europe does that one, they just keep the limits super low so liability isn't really a big deal.

Unfortunately for us, this system follows us wherever we go. If you use a US credit card in Norway, for instance, sometimes the receipt will print out a slip that you have to sign. If the person at the register doesn't realize this, it'll look like a receipt and send you on your way... which is a problem, as that means you haven't technically paid for your goods.

Trouble in Clas Ohlson

Which leads me to my situation. I was at a shop called Clas Ohlson - a Swedish-based chain of general stores. For a comparison point to us Americans, I'd call it like a hybrid of Home Depot and Best Buy, but far smaller. You want to go to one store to buy food containers, socks, power cords, hand tools, a tablet PC, and a printer? Clas Ohlson to the rescue.

I had a bunch of things I was picking up, went through the store, tapped to pay my bill for a couple thousand kroner / couple hundred dollars, was handed the receipt, and walked out.

The person at the cash register looked down, realized that the register said the transaction was still waiting, and booked it to chase after me.

This one mistake took an hour to fix.

This is what life will be like for me for the foreseeable future, as not only can I not get a Norwegian credit card until two years after I have a Norwegian bank account, but I can't even get a Norwegian bank account at the moment until I receive my national ID (which was what the police started the process for).

Welcome to Norway!

How to Find Reliable Edinburgh Removal Companies Fast?

Moving to a new home or office can be an exciting yet stressful experience. Whether you are relocating within the city or moving to a new area, finding a reliable removal company in Edinburgh is crucial to ensuring a smooth and hassle-free transition. With so many options available, how do you quickly identify a trustworthy moving service? Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you find the best movers in Edinburgh without wasting time.

1. Start with Online Research

The fastest way to begin your search for a reliable Edinburgh removal company is by conducting a quick online search. Look for professional moving services with strong online presence, positive customer reviews, and clear pricing structures. Websites such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, and social media pages can provide valuable insights into a company’s reliability and service quality.

2. Check for Licensing and Accreditation A reputable moving company should have the necessary licenses and certifications to operate legally. In the UK, professional removals in Edinburgh should comply with industry standards and regulations. Check if the company is a member of associations like the British Association of Removers (BAR), which ensures adherence to high service standards.

3. Ask for Recommendations

Word-of-mouth referrals are one of the most trusted ways to find reliable movers in Edinburgh. Ask friends, family members, or colleagues if they have used a removal service recently and if they would recommend it. Their experiences can help you make a well-informed decision and avoid unreliable companies.

4. Compare Multiple Quotes

Instead of settling for the first removal service you find, get quotes from at least three different companies. This will give you a clearer idea of the average pricing and help you choose a company that offers the best value for money. Be cautious of extremely low prices, as they may indicate hidden charges or substandard services.

5. Verify Services Offered

Not all Edinburgh removal companies provide the same level of service. Some specialize in residential moves, while others focus on office relocations or international removals. Check whether the company offers additional services such as packing, storage, and furniture assembly. Having a full-service mover can save you time and effort.

6. Read Customer Reviews and Testimonials

A company’s reputation is often reflected in its customer reviews. Look for patterns in customer feedback — consistent complaints about late deliveries, damaged goods, or unprofessional behavior should be red flags. On the other hand, consistently positive reviews about efficiency, professionalism, and customer service indicate reliability.

7. Evaluate Insurance Coverage

Accidents can happen during a move, so it’s essential to choose a removal company that provides insurance coverage. Ask about their policies for handling lost or damaged items and ensure that your belongings will be protected throughout the moving process.

8. Ask About Availability and Scheduling

If you’re in a hurry to move, availability becomes a key factor. Some of the best removal companies in Edinburgh may have busy schedules, especially during peak moving seasons. Book in advance to secure your preferred moving date and avoid last-minute stress.

9. Visit the Company in Person

If possible, visit the company’s office to discuss your moving requirements in person. This allows you to gauge their professionalism, ask questions directly, and ensure that they have the necessary equipment and staff to handle your move efficiently.

10. Check for Hidden Fees

Before finalizing your booking, make sure you understand the company’s pricing structure. Some companies may charge additional fees for services like handling heavy items, long-distance moves, or last-minute bookings. Get everything in writing to avoid unexpected costs on moving day.

Finding a reliable removal company in Edinburgh doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process. By following these steps, you can quickly identify professional and trustworthy movers who will handle your relocation smoothly. If you’re looking for a reputable company, Kingdom Removals offers expert moving services tailored to your needs. They provide efficient and affordable moving solutions in Edinburgh and surrounding areas, including Leith, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Livingston, and Queensferry.

How to Save Money During Your Move: Budget-Friendly Moving Tips

Moving can be a very overwhelming process, both physically and financially. From hiring packers and movers to managing storage and transportation, the costs can quickly add up. However, with proper planning and smart decision-making, you can significantly reduce your expenses during the move. Whether you're relocating your home or office, this article offers practical, budget-friendly moving tips that will help you save money without compromising on the quality of services.

For those migrating, especially around Gurgaon, professional Gurgaon packers and movers ensure that relocation is efficient, well-arranged, but there are so many ways for you to trim down costs that you may make during the shifting process.

1. Pre-planning of relocation: Pre-planning also helps you prevent last-minute expense.

The best way to save money during a move is by planning ahead. Last-minute arrangements usually come with additional costs, such as higher charges for packing, transport, or storage services. Start planning your move at least a month ahead. This will give you ample time to compare prices, book affordable home shifting services in Gurgaon, and avoid peak seasons when moving companies charge higher rates.

If you have to travel over a long distance, then plan in advance, so you can also book a carrier service from Gurgaon to transport your vehicle at a reasonable rate.

2. Declutter and Downsize Your Belongings

Before you start packing, sort out your belongings and determine what you really need. The more stuff you move, the more costly it will be. Reducing the volume of your belongings will not only decrease your packing and transportation costs but also make your new home look more organized. Sell, donate, or recycle items that you no longer need.

The majority of house moving companies in Gurgaon will charge according to the weight and size of your belongings, so the fewer things you move, the cheaper it will be. A decluttered home also means you may need less storage, saving you money on warehouse storage in Gurgaon or short-term warehouse storage options.

3. Compare Moving Quotes

It is important to compare quotes from several packers and movers in Gurgaon before finalizing one. All companies have various services that differ in terms of prices. A few companies can provide full services in Gurgaon, from packing to unpacking, whereas others can be more affordable by offering customized packages according to the requirements of clients.

Always request detailed quotes from every company and highlight all costs that may be included, so that you can make the right selection and get a packer or mover in Gurgaon best suited for your budget.

4. Pack Wisely and Smarter

Some of the simplest ways that will help cut on cost at a moving event are packing and self- carrying a number of boxes in advance. Home Movers and packers Gurgaon, among others offer packings but cutting the costs here may mean to start doing things like clothes, books, kitchenware etc yourself.

Invest in cost-effective packing materials like second-hand boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape, or use items already available at home, such as suitcases and storage bins, to pack your belongings. For fragile or valuable items, you might want to hire professional packers in Gurgaon to pack them safely.

5. Select the Right Date for Moving

The timing of your move can really have a lot to do with the cost. The majority of top packers and movers in Gurgaon tend to charge a premium for moves during peak seasons, which usually include summer and weekends. In case you have the flexibility, try to move during off-peak times like midweek or mid-month to save money on home shifting services in Gurgaon as well as office shifting services in Gurgaon.

Being flexible with your moving date can help you negotiate better rates with the best home shifting services in Gurgaon and make relocation smoother and more cost-effective.

6. Rent Storage Wisely

If you need to store during your move, be it household or business inventory, then be wise in selecting storage. Most of the warehouse storage companies in Gurgaon provide short-term warehouse storage and commercial warehouse storage at competitive rates. Compare rates and services provided by different warehouse storage facilities in Gurgaon for the best solution.

Look for a rental storage warehouse in Gurgaon that suits your budget without overcharging you. Make sure that the storage warehouse is secure and well maintained, and there are no extra charges hidden inside the contract before going for it.

7. Bargain with Your Mover

Do not hesitate to negotiate with the moving company you have chosen. Most of the best packers and movers in Gurgaon will offer discounts, especially during off-peak times or if you are shifting over a short distance. You can also ask for discounts if you are availing of multiple services, such as commercial shifting services in Gurgaon along with car transportation services in Gurgaon.

Some may offer a package deal which would include house shifting services from Gurgaon along with warehouse storage, car transportation, etc. In this manner, they save money on the overall cost.

8. Use Free or Low-Cost Packing Materials

Purchasing packing materials will increase your moving costs. You can avoid buying new boxes and packing supplies by looking for free or low-cost alternatives. Free boxes can be found at local grocery stores, bookstores, or friends who have recently moved. Towels, blankets, and old newspapers can be used to wrap fragile items.

Heavy or bulky goods will require porters packers and movers Gurgaon in order to facilitate safe transportation, making sure all your larger furniture is packed correctly without using materials that cost money.

9. Avoid Additional Cost: Hire only a good firm to avoid unwanted expenses.

While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest option available, hiring a reputable company ensures that your belongings are in safe hands. Unprofessional or inexperienced movers may cause delays, damages, or even lose your belongings, leading to unexpected expenses.

Choosing the best home movers and packers in Gurgaon or best office shifting services in Gurgaon ensures that your move will go smoothly, saving you money on potential repair or replacement costs.

10. Claim Tax Deductions for Business Moves

If you are shifting your business to a new place, you might be eligible for tax deductions. You should record all moving costs, including packaging services, transport, and even commercial warehouse storage in Gurgaon, and then discuss them with a tax advisor to know if you are eligible for deduction.

Conclusion

Moving does not have to break the bank. With a little planning, decluttering, smart packing, and quote comparison, you can save money without sacrificing quality. Whether it is house shifting services in Gurgaon, car shipping companies in Gurgaon, or commercial storage for rent in Gurgaon, following these tips will help you stay within budget and ensure a smooth and cost-effective move.

Remember, the right professional packers and movers in Gurgaon would ensure a successful move with reliable services at competitive rates, thus making your relocation both efficient and affordable.
