Difference between revisions of "The Den (furry house)"

Revision as of 03:03, 31 October 2007

The Den is a furry share-house in Carindale - Brisbane, Australia. Its occupants are Bingo Dingo, KibaWolf, and Rhiannon, who is a non-fur.

History

The Den has been in existence since April 26, 2005, when Jaffa Ferel, MistyStriker, and Dimenianz moved in. In August, 2005, Dimenianz moved out and approximately a week later Dimruthien VerenLaulaja moved to Brisbane from Darwin, Australia. In January 2006, Bingo Dingo also came to call The Den his permanent home. In September 2006, after financial dramas, Jaffa moved out and relocated to Adelaide, Australia. Moreth was looking for a place, so he decided to make The Den his haunt and rental balance was restored. In April 2007, Dimruthien moved back to her hometown of Darwin, Australia, reducing the numbers down to three once again. In the following July, Moreth moved out into The Burrows to live with his partner, FoxofFire, and Rhiannon moved in a week later. The Den lost all its founding members after Misty also moved out, relocating to Melbourne in September 2007.

Social facts

Occupants of The Den usually find themselves in the company of Nikita Wolfpaw, Foxy Malone, FlameDrake and Milesway on Tuesdays for Coffee Night, while on Thursdays the Denizens join The Cave, Nikita Wolfpaw and occasionally Tyresk and Whyrl for bowling.

People who have invaded the house and stayed a week or more include Hammond, PsychoSmiley, Tursiae, Hendikins and Moreth, who liked it so much he moved in.

Quirks

• The toilet is in the living room.
• Despite the fact that The Asylum is more appropriately named for this quirk, The Den has bars on each window.
• The Den hosts two different sofas which reside on the balcony with the extra fridge that currently has a thriving population of sentient mould.
• There have been claims of the doorbell being haunted, as it goes off with nobody at the front door to ring it, sometimes even at 2am.
• As with many typical furry gatherings, the Denizens and their guests usually congregate in doorways or the hallway for conversations, sometimes even sitting on the floor in the hallway where the three bedroom doors and the bathroom door meet to carry out a conversation.
• On the sidewalk in front of the house next door 'This way to the Den' is carved into the concrete. In front of the actual Den, part of the sidewalk has the Denizen's names carved into the concrete, as well as 'Furry Pride', 'DV *heart* PS' and a pawprint.
• Misty, Bingo, Dimruthien and Jaffa are stars in a documentary made by university students about furries. The documentary is called The Velvet Underground.
