About occupants
Living in the house's master bedroom are Emily and Loree, a queer couple in their mid to late 20's. Both work from home and are creatively minded. Emily provides career counseling for individuals on the Autism Spectrum while Loree provides education assistance to students in need. In their freetime, they both create, Emily being a programmer and digital artist while Loree is a musician performing with a local band who does sometimes practice at the house on Saturdays. Loree is partially disabled while Emily acts as her live-in carer.

Upstairs is Andrew, a computer science student in his mid-20's who enjoys video games and performing drums. He often has his partner Amity over. He shares the bathroom upstairs with the other bedroom.
Compatible people
The residents here are all some variety of neurodivergent, so we deeply appreciate communication and honesty. We are generally very open to criticism and would rather like someone who is likewise okay speaking their mind and being receptive.

We tend to operate in a very cooperative manner, sharing kitchen tools and resources, so someone who is willing to be open to such arrangements isna plus.
Description of pets
We have a single ginger cat by the name of Jingles. She is 8 years old, but that has not reduced her energy in the slightest. She has no sense of personal space and will go in your room, sunbathe, and beg you for food if you leave your door open, but is very affectionate if you offer it. She can be a bit feisty and temperamental at times, especially with other animals, but is otherwise a very well-behaved cat. Her litterbox is kept in the downstairs water closet.
