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."

This one was an interesting mix between the austereness of the last one with at least some attempts at the rusticness of that first with the cabinets. Astrid could live with those, though she didn't like them as much. She did like the building, though, it felt a little European in its style and design, she liked the more modern pop-art-esque feel to it and what felt like an almost clashing of styles. It felt...bohemiam, but modern, and she could definitely see herself, a struggling artist barely making rent, trekking down to the closest laundromat with a garbage bag of clothes, sketching spin cycles for hours.

And by herself, too, which struck her as odd. This place seemed to make the prospect that she was probably going to be on her own after she graduated a little more...palatable. It was the kind of place she thought Ingrid would approve of and be proud of her for maintaining, where she could come and stay with her if it weren't for prison.
