Roommates meme!

SINGLE WHITE FEMALE - Wow, college is going to be so fun! My roommate and I get along really well, Mom, you should hear all about it! We like the same music and movies and celebrities and...well, she's a bit obsessive, she got her hair cut and dyed like mine and keeps going on and on about how she wants contacts the same color as my eyes, but she's really nice! She just got in, I'll call you later, bye Mom! (TL;DR - You have a roommate who wants to be you. Have fun)

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK - He could not be more aggravating. Blaring music you think is shit, never taking out the trash, pissing on the floor when he's drunk and not even cleaning it up, bringing over people you can't stand at all hours of the day and night and now what? You cleaned all the dishes in the house and he had to have a bowl of cereal. A bowl he didn't even bother to rinse out. Time for some conflict of the YELLING REALLY LOUDLY!!!! kind.

STAR-CROSSED LOVERS - Obligatory sex option. You've been roommates for a while, but recently those furtive glances have been returned, they put their hand over yours when reaching for the coffee pot, and if something doesn't happen soon, you're going to end up a crying mess or flouncing out to get some poon elsewhere in frustration. Are you going to mesh well, or are you going to find out there's condoms in the house and have to make a trip to the gas station at two in the morning and deal with the worker staring at you as you buy XXLarge condoms?

BURY ME WITH IT - Your roommate is dying. Maybe they came home with a fatal diagnosis and can't help but spill. Maybe you watched them rescue a child from getting hit by a car and heard the thunk of their back breaking beneath ridiculously large tires. Console, comfort, hear their last words, tears and sorrow and a whole bucket load of angst.

HAN SOLO IS GAY - Technology is fun. You roommate takes it too far. Fight to the death. Offender may bring up that he wouldn't be able to do it if his roomie wasn't dumbass enough to leave his laptop laying around in the first place. Offender may have stolen it for the evulz. You never sent this text...

WILDCARD - seriously do whatever you want anon suggested it HERE IT IS

Post with character/universe and the person who replies to you is your new, exciting roommate! (With issues.)

He inhales oddly, and even though he hides it I can still note that something was wrong there. Even as he smirks, I can see a faint slowness of facial muscle indicating that he's forcing the expression.

Interesting.

"The huge, intricate web that is conversation," I agree, closing my eyes to chuckle for a moment. I'm paying every bit of attention I can spare, but I don't want to look like I am. That hadn't been an intended trigger, after all. "But you seem like a good guy, Joe Gibken."

I give a wink and a smile. "Even if I had to use underwear to get to know you."

I shake my head a bit when he closes his eyes, trying to set my head back in order before he catches me at it. It's nothing, it's no real trouble at all, but it's not something I'm ready nor willing to discuss. With anyone.

"Same to you, Don Dogoier." I smirk a little with a shrug. "Despite the underwear."

I shift towards the edge of my bed, stretching my legs out and considering finding a decently sized room to do some training in. Free time is still such a nebulous and often useless part of my day.

I can see the restlessness as he stretches out on his bed, and I roll over on my back to stare up at our drab ceiling.

We don't have to have all the conversations now. We'll at least have some time to talk further, and probably a lot of it.

All I know is that when I get the chance next, I'll be heading to the E.F. archives and doing a bit more digging. I find myself wanting to know a good deal more about my new roommate.
