Wifi Unlocked (DeltaMage)

"Is there any Wi-Fi in here?" Loriel asked zonthra as soon as she entered the house. "They said they'd be installing it next week,"

Her eyes widened, "WHAT?" She cocked her head back and groaned. "Carla the west is streaming live right now though. And I'm running out of data in this crappy old school world!"

Zonthra just shrugged, "Can't fly with broken wings and tailbone." They grimace, pressing thier lips into a thin line as they tried to hold back a growl.

"I hate it here already." They admit, gently pressing their injured wing; they hear a knock on the door and tucked their wings away.  "Ah! H-hello there new-" Noelle paused, fully aware at whom she is greeting. Her pupils dilating and her trembling hands betraying her blooming polite composure; she bit her lip and closed the door.

"Well, that went better than expected." Loriel said unsurprisingly. She took another look around the worn down home, zonthra found out that the dusty vintage tv was too old to even turn on. They both coughed and often sneezed too much from the smell and uneven stained soda carpet floors. To the rooms they went; and as suspected, the three rooms were also quite dark and two eerily made beds and clean carpet flooring. Luckily, the only bathroom in the house was fresh but the shower was too small for any of them to bathe.

Ping!

Loriel instantly checked her phone which is in at last three bars; connected to someone else's Wi-Fi. "Ooh, the neighbors Wi-Fi's unlocked." She said finally satisfied. "Thank you, Susie's mother Wi-Fi 5G."
