so they live in a pretty sweet house in the bronx in throgs neck. their landlord kept the house to piss off his ex wife and as a result rents the rooms out hella cheap. vreni is the unofficial house manager, she collects rent, makes sure the bills are paid, calls the landlord and helps facilitate repairs etc. in exchange, she has the master suite
they have one other NPC roommate who never leaves his room, he makes his money online for like, wow shit and selling figurines on ebay etc etc. his name is wayne and he's a total fedora hat tipping, m'lady saying neckbeard lmao.
it's a real fun house for the most part! bean and vren are really close and would be kind and welcoming to lauren, though they'd probably let her know in advance that vreni's bf is there a few nights a week but he's a total lamb and easy to get along with, not skeevy, etc
