Adulting 101- Monday- 2nd period

Maybe having a baby a couple months ago saved Kitty from the weirdness. If so, thank you, island. She was very grateful to be standing here in the Danger Shop, totally fresh from a weekend at her proper size.

"Welcome back, hopefully everyone's where they need to be today," she said, preeeeetty sure it was normal today? Hopefully? "Today we're talking about apartments. Once you move out of the dorms, you have to figure out a living situation. In Fandom it's pretty easy. You don't have as much selection as you would on the outside, but if you're working here that probably doesn't matter to you. Or maybe you're lucky enough to be able to live with family or friends while you figure things out and save money, but for the rest of us, it's time to look elsewhere. You have options. You can find a roommate and split costs to save money, or you can strike out on your own, which is more expensive but means you get privacy. Today we're going to visit a few places, just to let you see what's out there, and you're going to get to figure out what you want in a place. Like I would need at least two bedrooms, it'd have to take dogs and dragons, or at least dragons that look like cats if you put an image inducer on them, and I'd need room for a baby who's going to be mobile before I know it. Just know that you can want a lot of things, but unless you've got the money to back it all up, you'll have to make some concessions. Especially in an area like this, where the prices have apparently gone up since the last time I did this class." Seriously. It was kinda scary. "So before we go in, we're going to go around and you'll tell me what you must have in a place."

Yeah, some of these kids were not hard to please at all. Astrid took one step in, looked around at all that wood paneling, and was...kind of in love.

It felt just like the place she and her mother would live in for a while, really.

"I'll take it," she said, grinning faintly, although, no, seriously, even the fact that it was set over a store in a strip mall had a weird homey appeal to her. SHe could absolutely live here, with Ingrid, once she got out of prison, and listen to her complain about that wood paneling for hours on end.
