Apartment Hunting
Tyler's apartment was a bit too small for two grown men. Dolemeck had been sleeping on the couch or floor (depending on how he felt) and the two often times complained of the lack of room. So once they had dealt with the Tryks that had recently popped up in the city, they decided it was time to go looking for a bigger place.

Dolemeck had begun to dress more casual, wearing a wool coat with a black t-shirt underneath, a pair of tan cargo pants, and some black sneakers. This way he looked more "normal" when they went looking for a new place to live. Again, he came off as more calm and level headed as they looked at various ads in the paper and arranged to have look overs at some complexes.

"Anything strike your fancy, yet?"

	Tyler just raised an eyebrow before looking back over at Dolemeck. "Does that happen often?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, it does." He just shrugged it off and walked about the apartment. "This place is quite nice... and we have closets in each bedroom?" "Yes you do." The woman nodded her head. "You also have bathrooms in each bedroom as well. All with new furnishings. A perfect bachelor pad for two handsome, young men such as yourselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Admittingly there was a part of Tyler wondering if this woman was a succubus in disguise, but realized that was just paranoia. "It is very nice," he agreed. "So how much would rent be a week?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We only accept monthly payments, sir." She smiled, walking over with a paper for the two to look over. "Monthly, you are looking at two thousand, as the furnishing will be including. The unit we had before that was unfurnished unfortunately was rented out not too long ago. Someone mixed up the ads and I am so sorry about that."

"And the security deposit?" Dolemeck asked, raising an eyebrow at the woman.

"That will be three thousand. One thousand to cover any damages, and two thousand to cover a month's worth of rent should you break lease early or find yourselves in a hardship."

"Would you please excuse us?" Dolemeck took Tyler by the arm and walked into the bedroom, away from the woman. "I am sorry, I had no clue this place would be so expensive. I can pay for it on my own, as it is well... this is cheaper than the place I had in New York. But I do not want you to feel badly if I am paying for it all. I know it would bother you and that is the last thing I want. It is up to you if we get this place or not."

	"It's definitely more expensive that I had planned for," Tyler admits. "On the other hand, it would work well for our needs.." Tyler rubbed the back of his neck, conflicted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Maybe I can ask her if she can knock some money off?" He questioned before coming out and speaking with the woman. "Ms. ..."

"You can call me Beverly, handsome." She smiled wide at Dolemeck and then placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Is there any way that perhaps... you can knock a few dollars off of this apartment? My friend and I really, really like it, but it is quite expensive..."

"Well, it is considered a luxury apartment." She grinned. "I will tell you want, I can get this for you at the price of the other one. you just have to do a little something for me in return?"

"And that is?" Dolemeck paled suddenly.

"Well, we have many apartments here for rent still, and we've been looking for a model for some new glossy ads. If you agree to model for them, I will lower your rent. As well, you would be working for us."

"Modeling?" he raised an eyebrow. "Very well, I shall agree to this."

"Wonderful! You can move in this weekend, and next week stop by the office downstairs to start your job with us Mr. ...?"

"Night, Dolemeck night, mi'lady."

"Are you sure you are not a professional model? I mean with a name like that... and the accent..."

"I get this a lot, ma'am. And no, that is my real name."

"Please, call me Beverly!"

	Wow..just wow. That was all he could think regarding the exchange he just saw. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dolemeck just looked stunned as Beverly left the room after he wrote out a check for the deposit and first month's rent for the new apartment. She was going to come back with a receipt. He turned back to Tyler, wide eyed. "Well... we got our new place, at least. And Mum will be thrilled to hear I am a model, now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aye. My Mum is... an interesting woman. She herself once was a model." He smiled a bit meekly. "And she enjoys beautiful things, true love, rainbows, and sunshine. If anything, Mum will think I am following in her foot-steps."

"Besides, it could always be worse." He watched as Beverly returned to the room and handed Dolemeck a receipt and some papers to sign. "Tyler, you have to sign the lease papers as well."

	Well that's certainly different than from how his mother would react in a similar situation. "Sure, Dolemeck." He looks over the papers, scanning to make sure everything was on the up an up before signing his name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Everything was on the up and up. Nothing suspicious, and everything was clearly written down in the lease. Dolemeck had even signed personally for a pet lease, in case he got a pet. After everything was signed and hands were shook, Dolemeck and Tyler now had a new apartment.

"This is very exciting!" Dolemeck was quite cheerful. "We should throw an apartment warming party or something."

	Tyler had to admit, all things considered, it was a good deal. "You mean have the other Nightstalkers over?" Tyler asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-05 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. Who else would we invite?" He gave Tyler a gently pat on the shoulder. "I would be more than happy to cook for our friends!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2013-11-05 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"True. Plus it would be nice for us to be all-together without some kind of emergency," Tyler said, liking the idea. "You sure? That's six people to cook for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-05 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"It is not a problem at all! It would make me most happy to do so... especially with a fine kitchen like this!" He hated to admit it, the kitchen in this apartment, with it's shiny new appliances, made him excited at the prospect of cooking in it. "I think I will make some ginger chicken soup, and perhaps a nice peasant... and desert will be a homemade cheesecake!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
