You expected something else.
Something- elegant? Refined? Clean, at least; what the heck Mica-
Best described as a hobbit-hole, Mica’s home is nestled in a burrow by the beach, where the land gives way to a sheer drop of sand and stone. It’s easily missed- the door is a piece of driftwood, it takes a keen eye to see that it’s been worked at all! A mismatched few strings of fairy lights illuminate the main tunnel, branching off into single colors to mark the various rooms within. There’s a bedroom, of course (which is filled with old pillows and scraps of fabric, trampled into a nest that takes up the whole burrow), a pantry (filled to bursting with nuts and roots... and the occasional candy bar), the second pantry (this one holding fruits and berries), and at least three rooms whose sole purpose seems to be serving as a museum of beach litter- sunglasses, at least 5 generations worth of cell phones, glass chips, potato chip bags, jewelry (all of these are tucked into their own special corner), an enormous amount of batteries... It’s certainly quite a mess, but Mica seems to enjoy it! And on occasion, when someone might need some stray odd or end, Mica knows exactly what’s in the storage rooms and where to find it, so.. that’s something, right?
