Roommates || Julia & Lyric
@sunshine-sunsets;
[ ♛ ] — So Julia was in a bit of a pickle. Okay, maybe a slightly bigger pickle. Or... an incredibly huge one?
How bad was running a near-failing bathhouse, having to pay 4,000G in rent every two weeks, and keeping up a high maintenance lifestyle when her accumulated paychecks could barely keep up with her excessive spending habits? Whatever sort of pickle it was, it was... bad, and Julia needed to do something about it.
The most rational thing to do would be to downgrade, and ‘live within her means’. Meaning moving to one of those cheaper, crime-ridden apartment complexes, buying less clothes and beauty products, and basically just turning into a poor, pathetic, average girl. Julia had already spent most of her life having nothing and being a nobody--- there was no way on Leuda’s dry earth would she go back to that now.
She had an image that she created for herself, one of beauty, elegance, and perfection, and she would be keeping it, thank you.
So instead of doing the ‘rational’ thing, Julia does what she wants, and decides to post an ad at the guild for a roommate. At least bringing someone else in to help pay rent would be cutting down on her expenses a little, and she wouldn’t have to take any drastic measures to save her finances.
Thankfully, someone calls her up to express their interest in rooming with her: a man by the name of Lyric. He sounded decent enough over the phone, but Julia wanted to meet him face to face, and judge what type of person he was for herself. She wasn’t going to live with some creep, after all.
The meeting would be taking place at her lavish apartment in the Snowstyle complex, which was where she was waiting now, with tea and healthy finger sandwiches laid out for consumption.
