In a slightly run-down neighborhood not far from campus, Chii has a small house. The building is single-story, mostly-wooden structure, painted white, and has clearly seen better days - probably days before World War 2. It's sound enough structurally and nothing is broken, but there are vines climbing up the sides, the grass is knee-high, and the backyard is a jungle of weeds, shrubs, even higher grass, and a lone tree.
Inside, there are 4 rooms, laid out front to back. The first room is a living room, with not much aside from a couch, a plain desk with a chair, a lamp, a few shelves full of books (both fiction and non-fiction), and a radio that is new enough to have transistors but old enough to state proudly on a peeling sticker that it is a "transistor radio". There's not much decoration, other than a photograph of Chii and her parents on the desk.
Behind it is the bedroom, with a double bed, a lamp, an end table with a cheap alarm clock, a closet, and not much else.
Behind the bedroom is the kitchen/dining room. There is a cheap wooden table and chairs, as well as the usual kitchen appliances - but the appliances are ancient, though still in working order. The gas oven/stove doesn't have a pilot light, the fridge is noisy and on the small side, and even the microwave looks like it might predate the end of the Soviet Union.
At the back of the kitchen is a small hallway with the washer and dryer (also rather old), as well as two doors, one leading to the bathroom (small and old, but functional), and the other to the overgrown back yard.
Each of the 3 main rooms has a noisy window AC/heater unit, as the building clearly predates central AC.
(Chii is more comfortable studying in her home than elsewhere. She gains +1 to Knowledge rolls there)
