"W-well, thanks, but as you can see we have to be going."
"Oh, I wouldn't want to hold you. You can go along now."
With that awkward conversation over with, your group promptly stumbles out of the now empty venue and onto the train that brought you here. You also take this time to put your discard clothes back on.
Your group is too tired to really do or say anything else and over the next hour, the train stops and lets one off the train so they can stumble back home. It's only when it's just you and Ashley that you finally arrive at your new sub-district: I-PHI-4.
Ashley pulls something out from her pocket and skims over it. She clicks her tongue, clearly trying to focus her attention on what's written on it. "Okay, okay, Alexis told me where your new place is. Just follow me."
You two exit the train and onto the streets of I-PHI-4. The layout of it is a bit different from the rest of the Blocs you typically see in I-Corp. Instead of an endless wave of grey bloc, the buildings here are all painted in bright hues. Reds, greens, yellows, oranges, the works. The buildings are also a lot more personalized, each with their own different structures and layouts.
The main thing of the streets you're now in that really catches your eye is that scattered throughout the sidewalks are weathered and tough trees similar to the ROTWOOD species you were harvesting last mission. Berry bushes grow between the alleyways of buildings, flowers grow through the cracks of the concrete road and sidewalks...
It's all oddly peaceful here. As if you weren't in an urban sprawl built in a winter wasteland. That illusion breaks a bit when you see that the apartment complex your new apartment is at looks nearly the exact same as the one back in G-Corp.
Oh well.
"See you around." Ashley signs off after making sure this is the right location. Welp. Another day has passed. Another day of hard work and toil has paid off. You step up the staircase to the front entrance of the complex before taking an elevator ride to your apartment (located on the 10th floor.)
Opening the door to your new apartment shows you...an actually livable apartment. It's a two bedroom apartment with an actual living room, kitchen, and bathroom instead of the one bedroom sprawl mess you lived at before. The bed actually looks like it would be comfortable to sleep in, the bathroom doesn't reek of mold and hate, and the living room has a leather couch! A leather couch!!! And the view from up here: Your old apartment only had one shitty window you couldn't see anything out of! This apartment actually has a balcony you can walk onto!
This seems like it would cost a FUCK TON- Oh my god.
Your attention is drawn towards the TV in the living room. Instead of a shitty CRT TV, a true and honest to god Flatscreen LED TV. It even comes with a game console installed in it! You probably wouldn't be able to afford this apartment at ALL normally.
