[OPEN] fastforwarded to december 1. open house!!

[overstrain]

[ On December 1st, Hirajiro's residential district goes through a minor change, which is having Terry's two-story house appear right next to the Black Cat house. With Orien's help, Terry bought the land that the house sits on. Anyway, the house has two floors. The entire first floor has a living room, kitchen, and a bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower. When you climb up the stairs, you'll reach the second floor, which has four bedrooms with a bathroom connecting two bedrooms together. The bathrooms can be locked from the inside only. There is no master bedroom nor bathroom in this house. One of the rooms are soundproof, but Terry is not telling anyone which one it is. You'll have to find that out for yourself. AC and heater are fully functional.

Terry sent out a message to all the Guests. For those who don't have phones, Orien personally delivered the message to those people himself. The message is as follows:

We solved the housing situation. Terry will not ask anyone to pay rent, but the house isn't furnished at all except for a refrigerator and a fireplace. You'll have to buy supplies and furniture on your own. There are several conditions you need to accept if you choose to live here:

1) Please do not destroy the house or cause property damage. If you do, you're paying for the damages.
2) Clean up after yourselves. A clean house means no bugs and good standard of living.
3) Do not steal/take anything from the Black Cat house. (this needs to be mentioned because he had several door stealing incidents)

The address/general directions to the location has been mentioned, which is basically next door to the Black Cat house.

Feel free to make your own top levels and stuff. ]

It's fine, nya. That kind of stuff happened hundreds of years ago for me, nya. Just take good care of the house, nya.

[ It's honestly... an extremely low bar... imagine your landlord saying "you can have the place. just don't destroy it". Lily has been long gone... it's okay. ]

[infiltrationtools]

We will, nya.

[There's a short pause as Akira considers who exactly he's sharing this responsibility with, and he amends his previous statement.]

...Well, I will, nya.

It really is a great house. I don't want anything to happen to it.

[overstrain]

If anything needs fixing, let me know, nya.

[ He really hates being the handyman, but that's what he had to do to keep the house being like it is today, so it's fine. ]

I can lend you some tools too if you can't buy them at first, nya. I was thinking about getting one of those warm table things when it gets colder, nya.

[infiltrationtools]

A kotatsu?

[Oh... that sounds so nice... he hasn't had a kotatsu in a long time.]

We could get everyone together for dinner and gather around...

[overstrain]

Would everyone fit under the table, nya?

[ They seemed small from what he's heard... ]

[infiltrationtools]

There are some big ones. They just cost more.

[But you're rich so it's fine, right, Terry?]

[overstrain]

[ ... He's broke right now and he knows it. Orien knows it too. The snake is their financial advisor now as well as other things. ]

I'll... think about getting one if it gets cold enough, nya. Go ahead and explore the house, nya. Don't let me keep you, nya.

[infiltrationtools]

Thank you, nya!

[He smiles at Terry, an oddly bright and open smile considering what happened not even a week ago.]

[And if that's all, then he heads inside without another word to go explore.]

[overstrain]

[ He likes seeing other people smile, but that seemed so... weird...

... ... ...

???

Terry will let it go. ]
