Rachel nodded. "I can usually be found at the bar on weekend days after the show if you need anything else." She offered, then said het goodbye and left you to your new living arrangements.
Upon ringing the doorbell the door was opened by a woman introducing herself as Sonja, the keeper of these appartments. The ground floor of the mannor held a living room and a kitchen. These were shared by the students living there. To the back was a garden where several bikes were placed. In the Netherlands students usually rode bikes everywhere, including to the university. The first floor ((I'm going whith Dutch names here, first floor being up one flight of stairs)), and second floor each held 3 rooms, each room belonging to one student. The third floor, which was the top floor, held two rooms. One of them belonged to another student, one of them would be Mirela's.
The room was about 9 square metres (100 square feet). Because she was an international student she had been elligable for a furnished room and this room held a bed for 1 person with storage boxes beneath it, a small desk and a pretty large closet which could be used for a mixture of wardrobe and personal affects. She'd been expected to bring her own laptop and a letter with Wifi instructions was placed 9n the desk.
Sonja told her that this was a mixed student house, meaning it housed men and women. The other person on the third floor was also an international student in a furnished room, the other floors held Dutch people. But everyone in the Netherlands spoke English so she should have no trouble communicating. Three of them were at home and Mirela was introduced to them. The others would probably stop by some other time to introduce themselves.
Basically if you kept the door to your room open it meant anyone could come in and say hi, if you closed the door it meant you wanted privacy. That was the main rule in the house.
Sonja explained how things worked in the house, what was taken care of collectively and what you had to provide for yourself, who had to clean which area when and how use of the kitchen and bathroom worked. If you had problems with any other student in 5he house, Sonja was the person to go to. But generally the students lives in good spirits together and she experienced few problems.
((I hope you don't mind skipping a little here, right now I don't have immediate plans to include the non-magical people in the house. If we want to do that later, we can always go more in depth, but I'd rather not riak this getting boring with unneccesary details in the beginning of the play. Or would you like one of the appartments having anothe witch, or perhaps a demon? Hmm, could be another plot twist.))
