[attr="class","Noahhomedescbody"]
- - EXTERIOR[break][break]
Noah has a traditional style, two-story, three bedroom home on a quiet street in West Hook. He pays someone to maintain his garden and mow the lawn but he is rarely seen inviting anyone inside. [break][break]
The house has white trimmings, charcoal roof tiles, and a mixture of dove-grey and charcoal sliding. There are no fences to separate his land from the forest it backs onto, and there's a small patio area at the back with a table and a few chairs.[break][break]
[break][break]
- - FIRST FLOOR[break][break]
Noah's interior design choices are much like his fashion ones; there's lots of dark shades, navy, and greys. The entire first floor has oak floorboards and walls painted deep slate blue. However, the natural lighting tends to be very good during the day so the dark colour scheme is not oppressive. He keeps most of his home relatively tidy. [break][break]
The Lounge: Two tan couches with an assortment of blue-toned decorative pillows. There's a low coffee table in the middle of them, a fireplace on the closest wall, and a large TV on a console table in the corner of the room. A large circular mirror hangs above the fireplace, flanked by bookshelves on either side. Sliding doors behind one of the couches lead out to the garden.[break][break]
The Dining Area: In front of a window which overlooks the back garden, there’s a round wooden table with four dark blue dining chairs.[break][break]
The Kitchen: Navy cabinets with white marble tops. There's a kitchen island with a couple of high barstools to sit on.[break][break]
The Study: If he can’t find a place for something elsewhere in his home, it’s likely to end up in the study. It’s the messiest room in Noah’s house, a great place to sit back, relax, and watch surgery videos or woodcarving tutorials on his laptop. This is also where he carves his smaller whittling projects if it’s raining outside, so there’s a roll of carving knives in the bottom drawer of his desk and usually a tonne of wood shavings in the bin.[break][break]
There's a couple of windows and a window seat, but otherwise all four walls are covered in shelving cabinets. They hold books (mostly psychology and criminology related, including all editions of the DSM and all 140 volumes of American Jurisprudence), his university degree, and an assortment of random knickknacks that have fallen into his possession over the years. There’s a desk with an office chair, and a grey armchair in the corner.[break][break]
The Garage: Home to his cars. Well-lit and spacious. On the back wall there's a tool rack, a woodworking bench, and shelves full of gardening supplies and cleaning products; it's clear he bought them in bulk. There's also a couple of unopened cans of slate blue paint and brushes/rollers.[break][break][break]
- - SECOND FLOOR[break][break]
[break]
Every room except the bathrooms, laundry room, and bonus room are covered in pearl coloured (somewhere between cream and silver) carpet.[break][break]
Noah’s bedroom: Charcoal grey walls match the bedsheets and the plush, high-pile rug that sticks out from under the queen size bed. There are two floor to ceiling windows on one wall that overlook his patio/backyard and the forest beyond. The natural lighting is good during the day but his room quickly becomes the darkest in the house when the sun starts to set. It's pitch black at night when the lights are turned off. [break][break]
On the wall opposite the windows is a full-length mirror and a dresser. Above the dresser is a wall shelf with a few of his favourite books and a small blue bowl that he sometimes empties his pockets into (loose change, a lighter, maybe a receipt and sometimes his keys, etcetera). There's a nightstand and accompanying lamp on either side of the bed, an armchair next to the closest window, and he has a few houseplants that are doing surprisingly well. Three smaller ones reside on the shelf behind his bed, while a couple of large ones sit on the floor in opposite corners of the room (one next to the door to his en suite, the other next to his dresser). [break][break]
There's also a tiny unfinished painting by Tawny on the shelf behind his bed, depicting a dark, misty forest.[break][break]
Walk-in closet: Noah does not need a walk-in closet. Does he have enough clothes to fill it? No. His stuff barely fills half of it. Does he care enough about fashion to take pride in displaying his? No. It’s just there. Dark wooden shelves with a floor-length mirror on one wall.[break][break]
Ensuite/Master bathroom: The light grey and white tiles and the skylight above the shower makes this room feel pretty bright in comparison to the darkness of Noah’s room. All the products he uses tends to have a woodsy and/or citrus scent. His towels are dark grey, whereas the towels he keeps spare for guests are white.[break][break]
Bedroom 2 | Bedroom 3 | Bonus room[break]
Bedroom 2: A bit unfinished, he hasn't even completed painting one of the walls. More like Noah’s second bedroom than a guest room. It tends to store things he can’t shove into his study and sometimes, after stumbling home drunk, he’ll make a wrong turn and fall into this bed instead. Along with a double bed and a closet, this room contains a coffee table, stool, and small ladder Noah carved himself (the table and stool are pretty good if you’re into the rough-hewn look, but do NOT trust the ladder to hold the weight of a grown person). He also keeps some weights in there.[break][break]
Bedroom 3: The room Noah would nudge guests into if they absolutely had to stay at his house for whatever reason; it’s further from his own room and closer to the main bathroom (which is blindingly white and feels very sterile). It’s almost like a hotel, perhaps uncomfortably neat and tidy, and it’s also one of the lighter rooms with its white walls instead of navy or grey.[break][break]
Bonus room: The bonus room above the garage is probably the most glaring example that Noah has more space than he needs because… there’s nothing in it. Nothing. He doesn’t know what to do with it so he just pretends it doesn’t exist.[break][break][break]
- - NEIGHBOURS[break][break]
Noah keeps interaction with his neighbours to a minimum, and thankfully they don't seem too interested in him either. There are long stretches of road between each house on his street so he rarely sees them – let alone gets close enough to speak to them. [break][break]
• The Kingsfords – Family of three; Mr and Mrs Kingsford with their fourteen year-old daughter Sammy. (Mr Kingsford is Ted Lasso in all but surname. It's canon). [break][break]
• The Castellans – Married couple in their early 60s, retired, their four children have all flown the nest and moved elsewhere.

-- THE UNSURPRISING[break][break]
Phone: (View Here) An iPhone with a plain black case and default lockscreen. Not a scratch on it.[break][break]
Keys: A standard set of keys; no interesting keyrings to make it more colourful. Holds his house keys (front, back, and garage doors), a remote fob key to his garage, and car keys to his Honda. He keeps the keys to his Spyder separate, leaving them at home if he's not driving it that day.[break][break]
Wallet: A plain black leather wallet, holding an array of cards: driving license, credit, debit, Costco membership, local library membership, gym membership, insurance, etcetera. He’s normally carrying $ 40 in $ 10 bills and $ 2 in loose change. [break][break][break]
-- WOODWORK[break][break]
Noah originally bought an axe with intentions of chopping wood for his fireplace - and he does still do that sometimes. But one day when he was particularly bored he had a go at axe-throwing, and once he lost interest in that and hacked a few felled logs to bits, he finally wondered if he could do anything else with the wood.[break][break]
He began with larger projects such as the bench/table, stool, and ladder that now reside in one of his bedrooms. Nowadays he also carves smaller items, such as a bunch of wooden kitchen utensils (that he never actually uses) and little animals and trinkets that are decidedly more decorative than useful. [break][break]
Honestly he ends up burning a lot of his works not long after he's finished with them. But small incomplete projects (and a few surviving carvings that haven't reached the fireplace yet) can either be found on his woodworking bench in the garage or on his desk in the study. He keeps his smaller carving knives in his study as well.[break][break]
-- BOOKS[break][break]
Noah owns shelves upon shelves of books. While his study holds mostly non-fiction (weighty tomes on psychology, law, criminology, one or two cookbooks, and a couple of medical journals/anatomy guides), he owns a substantial amount of fiction as well. He tends to prefer 'older' books. Classics. Books in the realism, fantasy, and sci-fi genres are most common. His favourite authors are Haruki Murakami, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Franz Kafka, and their books tend to be the most visibly read - showing signs of use with one or two having cracked spines. He's not someone who dog-ears his pages or writes in or highlights passages, though. He does his best to take care of them. Quotes from books he owns can be found here.[break][break][break]
-- NOAH'S FAVOURITE KNIFE[break][break]
Noah loves a good ol’ fistfight but he’s not above whipping out some backup if he thinks he’s losing. His gun is usually left at home, only taken out if he feels an assignment could really go south, and he has a tonne of knives – some specifically for whittling, most generally just 'pretty' switchblades and hunting knifes, a collection that's a little disconcerting in its size and "hidden" under his bed. Only his favourite switchblade tends to always be on his person, either in a trouser pocket or tucked in the back of his shoe. [break][break]
The knife is almost entirely black except for the sharp, silver edge which is serrated near the handle. He chose matte black specifically to make it harder to see in the dark; a shiny silver blade is a lot easier to spot. The blade folds neatly into the handle, keeping it compact and preventing Noah from accidentally stabbing himself.[break][break]
[break][break]
-- GUNS[break][break]
Noah has a couple of handguns; one unregistered Glock and one legally owned Beretta. The Beretta's existence is commonly forgotten and has only ever been used for practice at shooting ranges, whereas the Glock is the one he takes with him when he expects something shady is going to happen. He keeps the Beretta in a safe in his closet. The Glock is hidden under a floorboard under the desk in his study. [break][break][break]
-- OTHER SKETCHY STUFF[break][break]
Lockpicks on a high shelf in the study. Handcuffs at the bottom of a drawer in his walk-in closet. Zipties, ropes, duct tape, saran wrap, and a tonne of cleaning supplies (bought in bulk) in the garage.[break][break][break]
- - VEHICLES[break][break]
A black Honda Civic – chosen because it’s one of the best-selling cars in California; it’s good for blending in and difficult to see in the dark if he turns off the headlights.[break][break]
A ‘Daytona Grey Pearl’ Audi R8 Spyder – chosen because he thinks it looks cool and he likes driving around in the rain with the roof down.

Items given to Noah by other characters.
[break][break]-- FROM TAWNY[break]
x1 - Bottle of Top-Shelf Whisky[break][break]
When: pull me in, then let me go[break]
Status: Finished drinking it - mostly by himself, shared some with Tawny when she visited around Halloween time in 2022.[break][break]
x1 - Hand-Drawn Card (inside is a written note)[break]
When: pull me in, then let me go[break]
Status: Spent a week on his kitchen island. Now it's kept in the top drawer of his nightstand, left side of his bed. He considered keeping it on his fridge but ultimately decided to keep it "hidden" away in case he ever has Blackstorm guests.[break][break][break][break]
x1 - Christmas Card[break]
When: for that day in December[break]
Status: Initially displayed on top of his fireplace during the holiday period. Now it's kept in the top drawer of his nightstand with the previous card Tawny gave him. He's wondering if he should get a box to keep them in.[break][break]
x1 - A tiny unfinished painting of a dark, misty forest[break]
When: for that day in December[break]
Status: Initially displayed on top of his fireplace with the card Tawny gave him, then tried out on different shelves in the lounge, then around the study - trying to decide where he would see it most + where it looked most at home. It now lives in his room on the shelf behind his bed, propped against the wall.[break][break]
x1 - Holiday-themed whiskey sampler[break]
When: for that day in December[break]
Status: He drank one of the bottles over Christmas, another in the months following. The remaining one and the glass are kept in his study on his desk.[break][break]
x1 - Lifeguard short-shorts[break]
When: for that day in December[break]
Status: Noah cracked up when he received these and promptly ran to take pictures in them. Problem is, the shorts are very small and he barely managed to get them on, and the resulting images were so indecent he figured they'd be classed as unsolicited nudes if he sent them to anybody. Doesn't mean he deleted them though. The shorts are now kept neatly folded in the underwear drawer of his closet.[break][break][break][break]
x1 - Birthday Card with note inside[break]
When: it's your birthday[break]
Status: For a week after his birthday, it was displayed on top of his fireplace. Now it lives in the top drawer of his nightstand with the other two cards Tawny has given him.[break][break]
x1 - Dostoevsky figurine[break]
When: it's your birthday[break]
Status: Displayed n his bookshelf in his bedroom.[break][break]
x1 - A $ 50 gift card usable at various (somewhat high-end) restaurants[break]
When: it's your birthday[break]
Status: 100% will be used taking Tawny out.[break][break]
x1 - A dimebag full of lint, a penny, and a button; safety-pinned with a scrap of paper that says 'from Lark & Finch'[break]
When: it's your birthday[break]

x1 - 'ROADTRIP JAMS' CD[break]
When: it's your birthday[break]
Status: Kept in his Honda Civic. The car doesn't have a built-in CD player, so he bought an external/USB CD player to plug into it so the CD can be used as intended.[break][break][break][break]
x1 - Kindle Scribe[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Awesome; he's a lot happier 'highlighting / underlining' quotes he likes when it's not a physical book. It tends to move around the house depending on where he last used it. Most frequently found in his bedroom or study.[break][break]
x1 - NSFW Apron[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Best apron ever. He's taken a bunch of selfies in it (and maybe one or two tasteful nudes). Wears it almost every time he cooks, kept in kitchen.[break][break]
x1 - Top shelf whiskey[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Kept in a kitchen cupboard for now.[break][break]
x1 - IASIP whiskey glasses[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Earned a good chuckle. He sent a pic of them to his friend Dylan (also a lover of the show) to make him jealous. Kept in a kitchen cupboard. [break][break]
x1 - "Festive" jumper[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Okay, fine, maybe he did freeze up when he unwrapped it. Maybe, rather than fear, he was inexplicably excited and saw shrimp colours for a few seconds. Then he realised he should be freaking out and started to panic over his reaction rather than the jumper.[break][break]
x1 - Christmas Card with note inside[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Opened in a daze. He could barely process the words and stared at the P.P.S message for quite some time as he was brought back to Earth. He had to laugh the whole thing off. As requested, he sent Tawny a pic of himself with the most 'dead inside' expression he could muster while wearing the jumper and a Santa hat. Also thanked her for the other gifts and told her he was devastated because he wanted that pretty princess castle. The card is now kept in the top drawer of his nightstand with the other cards Tawny has given him.[break][break]
-- FROM SETH[break]
x1 - Handmade blanket with a note[break][break]
When: it's the thought that counts[break]
Status: Suits his home's vibes perfectly, and it makes him very happy to think of Seth making it for him. It's currently kept in his living room on one of his couches.[break][break]
-- FROM DANE[break]
x1 - "Let's Learn to Sew" craft kit[break]
When: nothing fancy this year[break]
Status: Noah was thrilled to receive this and had a good laugh. You better believe he's already tried out all the patterns and sent Dane pictures of the results.
