nothing like a balmy 80 degrees to make you miss the arctic circle

Ohh, like when you have the windows open so the air moves through the house?

...I only have one window, haha. Dorm room problems.

[matchbreaker]

If it's a dorm, could you keep the door open sometimes? That might help.

[skald]

I could probably do that! You think that will work? Either way I am DEFINITELY putting AC as the most important thing in my apartment search. Or maybe a backyard pool! Or a walk-in freezer! I'm sure there's at least one apartment in this city with one.

[matchbreaker]

Sure! the expense might go up over time though...

Oh! Are you looking for roommates to cover that?

[skald]

It's a small price to pay to be able to survive. (Or maybe not. I haven't really researched how expensive it will be yet.)

But yes, I'm definitely looking for roommates, haha!

[matchbreaker]

What kinda job do you have?

[skald]

I work at Club Sunshine!

[the... host club.]

Club Sunshine running errands and things. I'm not a host, haha, I wouldn't be good at it.

[matchbreaker]

How much are you making doing that? And you're not getting in any shady business, right?

[skald]

Well right now I work part time but I should hopefully get more hours for the summer! It's also not shady at all, my boss is very cool, haha. I know it might sound a little odd but it's a really great place!

[matchbreaker]

And how old were you again? Anyone else picked out already?

[ Apparently, this is an interview now... ]

[skald]

[o-oh, well... hey cool less effort for her!]

I'll be 21 in July! And not really, I've seen some postings around school but haven't made any solid plans yet!

[matchbreaker]

Alright, a steady job and twenty-one! Do you go to university as well, or just the job?

[skald]

Yes, I just finished my first year! (The school system in my home country works a little differently than it does here, so I'm a little older than the average freshman.) I'm not sure what I'm studying yet but I think either history or linguistics.

[matchbreaker]

Does that mean you're looking for somewhere near Recolle U?

[skald]

Either near school or near work would be fine!

Ooh, but it's a bonus if there's a good coffeeshop nearby!

[matchbreaker]

Huh! Does that mean you don't actually have a lot of prospectives yet?

[skald]

Weeeeell I figured more people would be looking later on in the summer, right? So there's no rush right away! I can afford to take my time, right?

[matchbreaker]

For some of the ones *very* near the school, not really. But for the others, no, that tracks!

So no roommates, still working on it... I see.

[skald]

Eh, I don't mind walking a bit, so that's fine! I'm not that lazy anyway.

[Still too lazy to get started on the roommate search, though.]

But it'll all work out by next semester. Unless I melt, anyway.

[matchbreaker]

You could also go to movies more often. Most of those are cooled.

[skald]

Ooh, definitely a good idea. Someone else suggested that I get a second job in an ice cream shop, so I can use the money from that to fund my movie tickets!

[she's seriously considering it.]

[matchbreaker]

There you go, that's the spirit! You can do it if you really try!
