It's me again. Teddy's gone this time, so it's just me now. [Kate purses her lips because being alone in a weird world isn't so bad, right? Right? Hello?] Uh, so I realized living alone isn't going to work out here so roommates? If anybody needs one, wants to move in or needs somebody to move in, let me know? I'm clean and quiet and I don't cook so I don't really need much use of the kitchen. I'm okay with pets.

[At least if this place fails, there's always the Youth Center. Which probably smells like boys... which Kate is oddly used to.]

That's all.

[This is a fantastic birthday gift. Whoop whoop.]

[sympathyforme]

Already have two roommates, sorry. Too bad you don't cook, that we could use.

But I was pointed your way; You still need a job?

[joiedeviolet]

I'm still looking, yeah. What do you have available?

[sympathyforme]

I checked with the boss. What's most needed would either be roomservice or bartending. Bartending is more fun, if you care about my input.

[joiedeviolet]

I'm not twenty-one yet, so I don't think you want me for bartending. [Room service? Hmm. It's an option. Not much fun, but it's work. With the Devil.] In which hotel is this?

[sympathyforme]

I'm 18. This is a City that exists in some world that doesn't make any sense, curses occur that make even less sense, we were all transported here through means we don't understand and it's not as if there is actually a government or a law structure to speak of.

I presume you are American, but get over it. You can just trust me that you being under 21 doesn't stop me from offering you a job at a bar. Wouldn't stop me from buying you a drink, either.

Hotel is called Oh Aces.

[joiedeviolet]

Somebody suggested Oh Aces to me earlier. They told me to look for somebody named Luke. I'm guessing that's not you, though.

[sympathyforme]

What makes you guess that?

[joiedeviolet]

Considering you said you checked with the boss and I was told that Luke owns Oh Aces, it was a pretty easy leap.

[sympathyforme]

And here I just thought I should have a cooler name. It's Kira, by the way. How about yours?

[joiedeviolet]

Sorry to burst your bubble by telling you that most people don't automatically think Luke is a cool name. And it's Kate.

[sympathyforme]

Actually I was just saying it's not a cool name, so I think I'll get over that bit of information soon enough. Hey, Kate. Ever tended bar before?

[joiedeviolet]

No. I'm American, remember? We have laws against that.

[bettercallit]

Sorry about your friend. [ Teddy wasn't his biggest fan, but he grew fond of both him and Billy during their time here. ]

If you need company, you can always stay over at ours or drop by whenever you need to.

[ Video ]

[joiedeviolet]

It's okay. It's probably better this way, anyway.

[They can go off and do the superhero stuff again and she can stay here and attempt to live a normal life.]

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ Normal is overrated. ]

You sure? I can make room if you ever need it.

[ Video ]

[joiedeviolet]

[She nods. Not convincingly anyway.]

They were practically engaged, so I was thinking of getting my own place after a while. Just.. didn't realize I couldn't afford until now.

[conjoins]

I've got a free room here, if you don't mind. [ scratching the back of his head. he doesn't really mind rooming with a girl, but if neither of them can cook.. ]

No pets, though. And the place is pretty bare, sorry. [ He hasn't touched much of his apartment beyond his bedroom.. ]

Teddy's your friend?

video;

[joiedeviolet]

[Can she afford to outfit an entire room? She'll have to do some calculations before answering. Things were easier and cheaper when Billy could just magick her up a bed. Or a sofa to sleep on, that is..]

Yeah. We knew each other back home. You knew him?

video;

[conjoins]

[ Well, it's not as if the apartment costs him, so he doesn't mind if she doesn't pay. ]

No, I just got here. But I'm sorry he's gone. [ he pauses. it would probably be a good idea to introduce himself first, wouldn't it? ]

Oh, I'm Ventus. You can call me Ven.

[joiedeviolet]

Kate. Just Kate.

[She doesn't like living for free, feeling like she's taking up a space for somebody who can't afford it when all she could and should do is pick up some extra shifts. This is one rich girl who doesn't prefer to be rich.]

How big is it?

video;

[conjoins]

Nice to meet you, Kate.

[ Ventus won't question it, but he certainly won't take the money either - it feels wrong, taking someone's money willingly like that - so Kate will have to figure out how to make him take it if she's going to be that determined. ]

Two bedrooms. One's bigger by a little, but not much. One bathroom... Here, I can show you. [ Ventus swings the PCD around to tour the apartment a bit - and there's barely anything in it. There's a couch in the living room and a low table, the dining room with a small table and two chairs, and finally - the two rooms have nothing but twin sized beds and white sheets. ] The place came with this stuff. Like I said, it's pretty bare.

[bettercallit]

Teddy might've yelled something about being a possessive boyfriend, but I tend to tune out when people are pissed at me. [ It's a lie, Clint takes everything in, good and bad, and never really forgets.

Half-shrugging. ] Offer stands. Whenever you need a place, you've got one. And if it's a matter of money, I can probably sort you something out.

[ Video ]

[joiedeviolet]

They've been through a lot. I can't really blame him, but what did you do to piss him off? [Other than being Clint?]

I'm okay. I'm just going to get a better job or something and stop eating out so much. Stick to cereal and sandwiches.

[Have Bolin and Pabu, both looking sympathetic- YES FIRE FERRETS CAN LOOK SYMPATHETIC OK.]

Geez, all of your roommates left? I'm sorry, Kate. Our place is a little on the full side of things but you're always welcome to drop by!

[agreeable chirp from Pabu!]

[beyourarmy]

Sorry to hear about your friend. And I think my roommate already got to you. I could always move out if you haven't found another place, though?
