Residence
Eggs in hand, Timott and Bricks walked back from The Bach Pad, throught the 'business park', along University Drive, to their residential unit, in the north-eastern corner of the university grounds.
It was one of around twenty two-storey, concrete buildings which were separated from the rest of the campus by a stretch of wetland known affectionatley as Lake Syphillis. Though devoid of fish and ducks, Lake Syphillis supported a diverse and delicate ecosystem, which consisted of television sets, microwave ovens, bar fridges and a variety of other defunct appliances that had been thrown in from the middle of the bridge that crossed the fetid swamp.
Timott and Bricks arrived at the door of their unit and went inside, into the living area. To their right was the kitchen, separated from the living area by a bench. In front of them was the dining table, and in the far corner the television set*, with two old, blue couches facing it. At the back of the living area was a hallway leading to the guys' rooms, and a staircase going up to the girls rooms, bathroom and laundry. The guys' bathroom and laundry were behind the stairs.
Although the sink was full of dirty dishes, and there were toast crumbs on the bench, it didn't seem as though anyone was around. This wasn't surprising, as it was the second day of O-week, the week before classes started. Everyone would be in the university courtyards, either watching or taking part in the O-week festivities. Timott and Bricks decided that would be the best place for bargaining at the moment.
*'Can't believe it!' Bricks had said, 'A full set of televisions!'
