So, the heat frying out all the electricty on the island put a slight hitch in Rosa's plan to just ride out this laundry strike thing by being her usual anti-social self and hiding out in her apartment until it was over. Which was still definitely a plan, but one made slightly more annoying by the lack of air conditioning and other creature comforts. She was maybe about a step away from just dealiing with the fact that her Fandom Gladiator singlet (a little more approriate than the last remaining set of underwear she was wearing now) would just have to do as clothes until she and her bike could get off this island for a while, but there was probably one thing she should take care of before she did that.

come over and help me eat all this ice cream in my freezer before it all melts.

Well, two things, but that text would serve as a catalyst for the second, although Rosa was wondering if she should put it off until things were a little more normal around here again. But she also knew that if she put it off now, she'll probably put it off forever, so she just needed to get it done, get it over with, and move on.

So she sent the text, turned her phone off to help save the battery in case this blackout went on for a while, and went to go light some candles. While actually feeling somewhat grateful that at least the heatwave meant there'd be no way to tell that some of that sweat wasn't from the heat, but instead from the stupid nervous feeling in the pit of her dumb stomach.

At least the windows were all already open, though, in case she needed to make a get-away.

Rosa probably could have picked a better day to do this, but it was the middle of summer, it was probably going to be annoying hot for at least a week, if they were lucky, so she was just going to suck it up because she was getting a little restless about the next step in her whole....ugh, reinvention, or whatever that guru she'd encountered while hiking through Tibet had called it, and that meant finally getting to work on her new...offices, she supposed. And, as she glanced up toward the second floor of the building she was putting her name on, apartment.

"What a dump," she muttered, to no one in particular, as she moved forward to unlock the door and go have a look around so she can start making her remodeling plans and get a really good idea on what needed to be done.

It wasn't a dump; it was fine. She was just being dramatic. Shocker, right? Alert the presses. But open real estate was pretty tight on this island, so it was either this place, the place next door or the place down the street, and while the place down the street had a much better view of the ocean and the mainland, she just felt this place was the right one. If she believed in that sort of crap, she'd think it was tied into 7 being a lucky number or something, but that was obviously stupid.

So she was just going to be picking around and scoping things out and making plans and blueprints in a tiny notebook in the sweltering heat, and then narrowing her eyes slightly when she realized the jacket she'd laid down earlier had definitely disappeared, and maybe that was a sign that she should scope out the other places a little, too, just in case there was something wrong with this one.

[[ mostly establishing, but can definitely be open! ]]
