Location <NYC> {Teamhaus} - Harbor Commons - Lower East Side
The right side opens up to a modern kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and steel countertops forming a corner against the close and right walls. This cooking area is fitted with modern appliances, among them being an over-the-counter microwave, a dishwasher, an electric stove, a refrigerator, and an oven. Opposite the kitchen is the dining room, accessed by a pair of narrow French doors. Walls of frosted glass panes, framed by stained wood and a diagonal slat slanting downwards towards the doors, separate the area from the rest of the unit. Long, vertical wooden boards stained dark comprise the rest of the walls in the unit. A small hallways leads from the entrance towards the back with a closet on the left and a bathroom on the right. Although the rest of the unit has beautiful hardwood flooring, the bathroom floor is tiled. It has the usual porcelain fixtures - a sink, a bathtub, a toilet - but also contains a separate shower stall made of steel and glass. On the left of the hallway is a closet containing a decent amount of storage space along with a washing machine and dryer. The hallway ends as it began, opening up into the same layout as the entrance, though flipped. To the right is the bedroom, concealed by the same frosted glass walls as the dining room with a single door of the same fashion as the walls. The left side holds a living room. Curtained windows along the back wall allow light to stream into the area. The outfit she plans to wear tomorrow is laid out, albeit not literally as it it hangs in the forefront of the closet across from the bathroom. Her best pair of pants and a nice blouse to go with them and, of course, a blazer. Though the best she was able to acquire in such short notice, the goat girl frowns at the set before looking down at her hooves and furrowing her brow. Upon her face is a mixture of disappointment and displeasure, apparently at what she sees. "Goddamn fucking hooves," she curses to herself while her ears press back. Said hooves, it should be noted have been very recently trimmed, likely by a friend's abuela. A long moment passes by before Paige lets out a heavy, resigned sigh and turns to leave the closet. Closing the door behind her, she makes her way to the kitchen where a notebook lies open on the table. It looks to be one similar to those belonging to her roommate and is, in fact, gratefully borrowed from the collection with permission. Previously unused, the first page bears a list of notes and ideas. Some are preceeded by stars while others are followed by several question marks. Ears still back, the horned mutant stares at the paper vacantly before biting her lip and adding another line. Nervous would be the best way to describe her behavior once she sets the pen back down. As she heads towards the refrigerator to fetch a snack, the furred girl hesitates before turning to open one of the kitchen drawers. It seems unused for anything necessary to proper kitchen functions and from it she pulls out two framed photographs, each of an ethnically Chinese individual. Now there's a pronounced frown on her face and her expression changes while she stares at the female and male figures. Her jaw hardens and her face flushes darkly beneath the fur. "I'm sorry. I ... will do better next time."
