My Luxury Apartment- General Script
I script this apartment complex in most of my DRs and my Waiting Room. Features like the room style change based on what reality the script is for, but the rest generally stays the same. This is the complex I shifted to the first time, all the things I would’ve enjoyed if I stayed longer.
Exterior: At the back of the complex, there’s a playground with equipment for adults too. The playground equipment can handle adult bodies using it.
Tumblr media
Basement level: At the basement level, there are storage lockers for the tenants of the apartment, a parking garage, a shop, and a convenience store. The convenience store carries a brand of microwave dinners that has a wide variety of options, and it includes many cultural dishes from various cultures. For example, one of the frozen dinner sets includes collard greens cooked with smoked ham hocks and black eyes peas, fried catfish, baked mac and cheese, and a little cup of banana pudding or candied yams. The store sells other easy to make food items, such as roux cubes for curry and egusi stew. There is also a laundromat down there, for residents that don’t have personal machines.
Tumblr media
First floor: The first floor has the lobby of the apartment building, an indoor pool and hot tub for the residents and their guests, and a hot pot restaurant. Residents get a discount at the restaurant, but it’s open to the public. It also has a gym that holds exercise, dance, and yoga classes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Second floor: There’s a small doctor’s clinic on this floor, staffed by several nurses, two pediatricians, a mental health counselor, and a few physicians. Here, residents (and our guests) can receive regular checkups, emergency aid, help with medical treatments such as dialysis, etc. Attached to the clinic is a small pharmacy where you can get cold medicines, common emergency medicines like epipens and inhalers, etc. There’s also a daycare on the other side of the building, and between them is the complex spa. The spa has masseurs trained in neuromuscular massage therapy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Third floor: A work space with computers for public use, recreational room that doubles as a movie theater with a larger screen, and an additional rec room with video game consoles, VR gaming space, and a small cafe. The first rec room is popular with older residents, while the second is more popular with the teenage residents.
Tumblr media
Penthouse: My penthouse apartment also has a balcony with seating, two guest bedrooms each with its own 3/4 bathroom, and a walk-in storage closet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rooftop: On top of the apartment complex is a community garden and an observatory. There are gardeners that maintain most of the plots, but private plots must be privately managed.
Tumblr media
Safety features: Along with normal safety features, all the windows and doors on the first and second floor, plus parking garage, have metal shutters that can be lowered during emergencies. The entire building also has an advanced fire suppression system, air purifiers, and an extensive bunker below the parking garage. Each apartment, or at least the penthouses, have security doors (thick wooden doors with metal plates in the middle and higher quality locks). All the safety features have their own failsafes.

I landed in DC a little while ago. I have to do my time in the office and my bestfriend is having her baby on Saturday, if everything goes as planned. My friends Fiancé and my god daughter picked me up from the airport. She was so excited about a cake her and her mommy baked for me. And it’s so freaking cute!
I finally got to meet my newest little God daughter. She’s Nigerian and the most beautiful little chocolate baby I’ve ever seen! Her name is Yaa. And her dad knew I loved Fufu and egusi stew and he had his sister make some for me.
I said all this to say that they made me cry lol. Mostly because my bestfriend broke down as soon as I walked through the door lol. But man am I blessed to have friends that receive me with such love. I’ll never take it for granted.

omg imagine hobie eating Nigerian food!
My personal favorite is egusi stew with goat, but oxtails are great too.
(Also you eat the food with your hands so I feel like hobie would love it)
ADORABLE 🥰🥰
He most definitely would eat with his hands! He'd be gobbling up any food you put in front of him
(egusi stew sounds amazing, lovely!)

AFANG - Tripe Stew from West Africa
Without any iota of doubt, soups are a big part of the African cuisine, in fact, it is wise to say that African soups are the main attraction of cuisine in the continent.
African soups can be made with a combination of vegetables and ingredients that are native to the countries where they are most eaten.
Very many African soups are usually eaten with other food staples such as rice, fufu, banku, sadza, garri, pounded yam, and so on.
Below are some of our favorite soups from different African countries.
1. Okra soup
Tumblr media
Okra soup is a popular west African dish with okra as its main ingredient. Although this deliciously slimy dish can be cooked with the local palm oil, it is also a good choice for people who are wary of adding oil to their soups.
2. Abenkwan
Tumblr media
Abenkwan is a Ghanaian soup made from the nuts of the palm tree. The pulp is extracted from the palm fruits and cooked in combination with spices and preferred meat of choice.
Abenkwan has an earthy flavor thanks to the addition of the palm fruit pulp (which is different from the palm oil). Serve warm with rice balls or Kokonte and you will be satisfied to the moons and back.
3. Muriwo na Nyama
Tumblr media
Muriwo na nyama is also known as leafy-beefy or high fields stew. It is native to Zimbabwe, highly nutritious and cn be eaten with sadza.
4. Pepper soup
Tumblr media
Pepper soup is a spicy African soup that will make your taste buds tingle with excitement. The soup is gotten from the stock of the meat or fish used. It is also spiced with local ingredients, giving it a tantalizing aroma and taste that will make you hungry even if you just had dinner.
For the best experience, have your pepper soup hot–not scalding hot of course– and thank us later.
5. Agushie/Egusi soup
Tumblr media
Agushie (Ghana)/Egusi(Nigeria) is a delicious soup cooked with shelled melon seeds. The method of preparation might differ across the different regions in which this soup is eaten but it ultimately includes the addition of leafy greens, seasoning and palm oil. In Nigeria, its best served with freshly pounded yam.
6. Domoda
Tumblr media
Domoda is the Gambia’s national dish, second only to Yassa. It is a yummy soup cooked with unsweetened peanut butter. It might also contain sweet potatoes. Domoda is better enjoyed with rice.
7. Afang
Tumblr media
Afang is a delightful and satisfying soup from southern Nigeria. It is similar to the eru soup in Cameroon. They both make use of the afang/okazi leaves. However, the afang leaves are pounded and used in addition to water leaf. Afang soup is rich in deliciousness and best served hot with fufu and lots of meat.
8. Ndole
Tumblr media
Ndole is another leafy vegetable soup with its home in Cameroon. It is often considered the national dish of the central African country. It’s a creamy and nutritious soup cooked with pureed peanuts and bitter leaf.
9. Afia efere/Ofe nsala
Tumblr media
In the Nigerian local languages of Annang and Igbo, afia efere and ofe nsala respectively mean ‘white soup’ in English. Technically, this mouth-watering spicy soup should be called ‘brown soup’ but where’s the fun in that? It is apparently called ‘white’ for the lack of palm oil use.
10. Ewedu Soup
Tumblr media
Ewedu is a Nigerian soup which is popular among the Yorubas. It’s a leafy vegetable soup but unlike other African soups, the greens (jute leaves) are pureed and cooked with nothing more than salt, locust beans and often potash.
It is usually served in addition to peppered stews (as pictured above) or gbegiri (beans soup). Yorubas love to eat this with amala, a starchy swallow made from yam peels and sometimes plantains.

OC recipe tag
Thanks to @sarandipitywrites for the tag! I'm running out of OCs who can cook, so this is more of a side-character mention but here we are. From Spin Cylinder...
Tumblr media
“I met Blessing, the new hire. She sent me home with fufu and egusi soup for lunch. Apparently you’re meant to eat it with your hands, or your right hand, specifically.” I drink some of the chai and go along with everything being fine, for now. “Is that on the menu now?” You come back and sit next to me. You sound tired. You look like you're trying not to. “It’s going to be. She brought in a few different dishes for Perry. This is what he does. If someone he hires can cook something interesting that he doesn't usually serve, he’ll put it on the menu for a while. Keeps things varied. Remember Henrik and the reindeer sausage pizza?”
Thanks to cheflolaskitchen.com for the recipes!
Chef Lola explains that Fufu is a swallow food, meaning that you don't chew it. It's used to dip in and scoop up soups and stews. If eaten in the traditional Nigerian way, the hand-washing rite should be followed and eating should be done with the right hand, even if you're left-handed.
🥘 Here's the fufu recipe and here's the egusi soup recipe!
Tumblr media
Tagging @verkja, @wmlittlemore-is-writing, @words-after-midnight and @wordwings if you'd like to do it, with an open tag for anyone else who wants to join in 💜
