With the cabal having agreed to gather, Strix being the one who had initiated it figured he should make sure everything would work. Fortunately, there wasn't really all that much to do in that regard, there wasn't any cleaning up to be done, or anything the like, so he really only had to make sure he'd be the first to arrive and check at most that the remotes was easy to find and food was ordered that it would arrive to smooth things over.
Beer was in the fridge bought and Faye's own brew and he had taken along a few extra bottles. He doubted they'd run out, but you never knew.
Picking what food to order was the real challenge, though, because Strix didn't actually know what everyone would want. For a moment, he considered pulling a Lorelei and order from several places, then take notes what was a hit and what wasn't only that would probably be a little excessive. Not everyone liked leftovers, either, so living afterwards from them wasn't exactly an option. It might be one later on, but not now.
He did ultimately decide to order Chinese, already aware that the others liked it, along with some Thai food, in case they wanted something else. If no one wanted it, he'd be eating it. He didn't mind living of leftovers.
The movie was the only unsure thing, though he had looked up a few just in case. It should be noted that his taste was probably not for everyone, also it might be a bad sign he even had to sit down and look something like this up online.
Maybe they'd rather do something else than watch a movie, it was just a suggestion. Either way, all was set up, and when someone arrived, Strix turned his eyes away from his smartphone and smiled a them. "Hello!"
