MCA Lobby, Tuesday

Zayne wasn't normally at the desk on a Tuesday, but he needed to get some more paperwork in order after renting out an apartment to Jon. But right now, despite the paperwork, Zayne was happy. The building was almost filled with residents, everything seemed to be in working order, and nobody had been in an elevator accident since the weekend everything was insane.

Right now, there was only one drawback to everything: the door in the middle of the lobby.

Zayne didn't seem to have a key for it. He was pretty sure it was just a janitor's closet, but without confirmation and a key, how could he really know? He was going to have to break into it at some point, but he needed to time it right just in case there was a monster in there or something. Yes, this was an actual concern.

[OOC: Slow until I'm home from work of course.

if you're interested in renting at MCA, there are a couple apartments available. Information on apartments is here.]

After her trip to the trooper station, Audrey to do a couple other things, like say, figure out where to live. Which would be why she would be heading into the apartment building.

"Hi," she said. "Do you have any vacancies right now?"

"It seems like I have fewer every day," Zayne said. "But you're in luck. I do still have a few. New in town, I take it?"

"Still got the shine on me, even," she said. "Are you good with month to month leases?" Since she had no idea how long this assignment would last.

"That's the only smart way to do it half the time around here," Zayne said. "People have a habit of leaving at the end of school semesters. Are you looking for anything specific? I have two on the fourth floor - a two-bedroom and a one-bedroom - and one in the subbasement, just in case you have any issues with sunlight."

"Why would I have issues with su-" She stopped herself midsentence. "That's a question I'm just not going to finish. I just need something small. It's just me. Sun is perfectly fine. In fact, I like sun."

"Apartment 10 it is, then," Zayne said. "Welcome to MCA. I'm Zayne, your landlord, assuming you sign the lease after looking at the place."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Audrey," she said, maybe thinking he looked a little young to be her landlord, but that wasn't the strangest thing she'd had to deal with today. "Can I see it now?"

She'd likely take it anyway, but it would be nice to know it wasn't crawling with anything or trashed from the last resident.

"Of course," Zayne said, holding a hand out to call the keys to him, then hopping over the counter so he wouldn't have to go all the way into the office. His lightsaber swayed a little from its place on his belt as he moved.

As he started toward the elevator, he pointed out the sights in the lobby. "Holosuite - I don't know what the is either, closet that I don't have a key for and haven't broken into just yet, laundry room, my apartment in case you need to talk to me about something, vending machines, and stairs and elevators on either side of the building."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
...Of course he could make his keys do that.

"Simple enough," Audrey said, following him. "So how exactly did you get your keys in your hand like that?"

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm guessing you've never heard of the Force?" Zayne asked. "Basically, it's a kind of energy that some people can use to do special things. Like move keys through the air. Or press buttons."

Zayne held a hand out to push the elevator button. "it's the first of many weird things you'll learn about Fandom, Audrey."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Trust me, it's not anywhere close to the first weird thing," she told him.

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, good," Zayne said, getting into the elevator when the doors opened. "Well, possibly good, at least. What was the first weird thing?"

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I had to go to the trooper station for work," she said, following him inside. "So... multidimensional hub, huh?"

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Sure," Zayne said, pressing the 4 button with his hand. "Then you're almost prepared for the fact that one of your neighbors is a pony who teaches at the school."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Audrey considered this. "Good thing you've got this elevator then, huh?"

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Just don't ask me how she uses the buttons," Zayne said.

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"You did say the Force could be used to push buttons..." Was she willing to blame it for the pony? Yes, yes she was.

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm pretty sure she's not a Force user. But she could have other powers for all I know," Zayne said as the doors opened. "Number 10 is right around the corner here."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, that's just how I like my teaching ponies. With powers," she said, following the direction around the corner.

Dave unlocked the door and led the way inside. "Weirder things have happened here," Zayne said. "Here's the living room. Kitchen and a dining room over there. Bedroom and an attached bath there. And you get a private balcony."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Audrey just did a quick runthrough, making sure nothing jumped out at her as being really out of place, then returned to the living room. "And just to be sure, there's nothing I need to know, right? It's not haunted or anything?"

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
"No, it's the other apartment that has the Kitchen of Doom," Zayne said. "And nobody's ever been able to figure out what that even means as far as I can tell. So you're safe in this one."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
And here she'd been joking. "You know what, I can live with safe. I'll take it."

[identity profile] cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Then welcome to MCA, officially," Zayne said, handing over the key. "Stop by the office downstairs when you're moving your stuff in and I'll have the lease ready."

[identity profile] also-audrey.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Considering how little 'her stuff' was, that might be ten minutes. "I'll be there," she promised, taking the key.
