where do your mars ocs live? i’m curious after seeing those pics with astrophel’s aesthetic bedroom. they’re not roommates like the others, just friends (or not in blake’s case)? and then during the summer they stay with nancy?
Ah, thank you for asking! You're right! They all live in various different places... be patient with me, because even I'm confused by the geography within my own fictional world lol
Astrophel works at the same university (they're a researcher in the astrolophysics department) that Claudette, Autumn, Donnacha, and Rin attend. Xyr apartment is probably somewhere near the outskirts of the city. I imagine it's a loft/open plan style, with a lot of the aesthetics featured in that post I reblogged. Xe tends to hyperfocus on xyr work, so it's rare that xe meets up with any of the rest of the gang outside of retreat time.
Lilith also lives elsewhere; perhaps a little further out from the city since they are actually still living in their childhood home with their parents and sister. They arrange to meet up with Rex at least twice a year, just to catch up.
Blake also lives in his father's house, with his stepmother. He makes no effort to see the others throughout the year.
Rex and Oli have a swanky luxury apartment in the city, thanks to Rex's success as an influencer and a homeware designer. Rex tries her best to meet up with Lilith when they reach out, but since she is also a workaholic, she often has to cancel on them.
Aaaand then, yeah, I imagine the retreat happens during the fall/winter months, at which point all four of them stay at the Aldridges' country house (look, I live vicariously through these people, and I say they have a beautiful country house in addition to the townhouse lmao) for the retreat. They each still have their own private rooms during the retreat, but they're all the same standard room.
