#eclipse dance studio

[didilysims]

Dad and daughter took the dog for a walk and wound up at the dance studio. For some reason the lighting is super weird upstairs, even though I remember deleting all the lights to try to fix it. Weird. But anyway, Frank is happy to give dancing lessons even if it's the middle of the night, because he's just awesome.

Frank: Charlie! Freyja told me you graduated--and with highest honours! Congratulations! I’m really sorry, but the renos have been delayed on the club downstairs... I’m hoping to have it finished really soon. Sorry to keep you waiting on this job... 

Charlie: No, it’s cool. I’m actually here to ask you about accommodations... See, I was supposed to move in with a friend of mine, but she backed out at the last minute. I can’t afford a place on my own, so I’m wondering if you knew of anyone who’s looking for a roommate. Or if you can suggest any good place to post an ad... Like, I don’t want to live anywhere sketchy, you know? 

Frank: Wow, funny you mention it... Actually, it might not be the best idea... But my brother’s a lawyer, so he could draw up a contract to keep things professional...

Charlie: Frank, what are you talking about? 

Frank: Well, um, I do know someone looking for a new roommate... 

Charlie: Yeah? Great! Who is it? 

Frank: ...Me. See, my old roommate just moved out. He’s...changed a lot, so it was like living with a totally different person. I’m glad he wanted to move to the big city, to be honest. Anyway, I know it’s not exactly proper to be living with your boss, but like I said, my brother could help--and you could change the terms however you want and...well, I totally understand if you don’t want to. 

Charlie: Don’t want to? It sounds perfect! I know you’d give me a fair deal on the rent, and we could carpool to work, and you don’t care if I have people over, right? 

Frank: Of course not. 

Charlie: Brilliant! We’re going to be the best roomies ever!

Seeing as she’d come all this way to visit Frank, Charlie figured she might as well try out a dancing lesson as well. I mean, she was there anyway. :)

No, Randy, it’s fling right on 4--on 4, Randy! One-two-three-fling!

Randy: Have I mentioned yet how much I hate this stupid dance? 

[didilysims]

Frank: So this is it. Pretty empty, but I’m working on fixing that. Maybe a little small too, but I can also extend. 

Charlie: Meh, there’s room enough to move. 

Frank: Ohmigosh! You dance too?!?! Come upstairs, quick! 

Charlie: Why, what’s upstairs? 

Frank: The stereo, of course!

Back to a semi-regular posting schedule in 3, 2, 1... 

Another night spent at the dance studio (which I’ve decided to rename Eclipse), where Frank is impressed by this very flexible robot.

Frank: You’re really good at this! Where’d you learn? 

Charlie: I dunno. I’ve just been dancing since I was a kid. 

Frank: Wow, me too! Charlie, I think you’d be perfect for a job here, so I really hope you consider it. Like I said, it’ll take a while for things to get started downstairs, so it’s totally fine to hold off until after you’ve graduated. 

Charlie: Yeah, I’ll think about it. Funny, I never thought I’d get a job related to my hobbies, and here you are offering me one before I’ve even finished school. Not that I’m accepting yet. I need to compare with the kind of salaries I would get with my degree, you know. 

Frank: Oh absolutely. I wouldn’t want you to miss out on anything with all your brain power, even if you are the best singer I’ve ever heard--and you dance too! Freyja told me you were majoring in philosophy. That sounds super smart! 

Charlie: Yeah well...I am.
