Roommates Meme

[misheard]

Maybe you're a freshman at college. Maybe you need someone to split the cost of renting an apartment. Maybe you're stuck in a creepy 50's-esque town and you've been assigned housing. Whatever the case, you're not living on your own: you have someone you're sharing living space with, whether you like it or not, and whether you like them or not.

Post your characters with name and canon in the header, find other characters to tag, you know the drill. Play the first meeting, or having been established as roommates for a while. Do whatever you want. I don't know your life.

[Small miracles. Large miracles.]

The air's fresh~ The sun on your skin~~ It's not healthy being cooped up all the time.

[Io barks in agreement.]

Uh-huh. Maybe we should get more raw dog and cat food, too, while we're there. That stuff doesn't keep long.

[hurrayformarriage]

I still don't know how you afford to take care of them all.

[What kind of ridiculously high-paying job does Jupiter have...]

[cosmicsoul]

[she's probably, like, earth's security guard or something]

It's a lot of work, man. Maybe one of these days we'll have more space for 'em all to play around.

[hurrayformarriage]

That'd be super! I don't need a lot, but I feel kinda bad cramping them in where we've got right now.

[cosmicsoul]

Especially with school. How's class going for you? Lay it on me.

[hurrayformarriage]

Doing just fine! I've got a huge paper due in my literature class, but I'll get it done... whenever I get it done.

[He hasn't made a lot of progress.]

[cosmicsoul]

Ohhhh. Harsh, man. Deadlines are so constraining, y'know? What's it on?

[hurrayformarriage]

Paradise Lost. I get it's significant, and all, but I'm not into it.

[cosmicsoul]

That's gotta suck, man. My friend Uranus, she's all, like, study all the time. I'd ask her to help, but she's more into physics and stuff, y'know? Science always has some beef with the humanities. I don't get it. We all gotta be one school.

[hurrayformarriage]

...I'm not that great at science...

[He is absolutely a writer before he's anything else.]

[cosmicsoul]

You don't gotta be. Everyone's got their own things, y'know?

[hurrayformarriage]

Right, you're right. Nobody's good at everything. That'd be pretty weird~

[cosmicsoul]

And writing's your bag. So all you gotta do is find meaning in what you read! Sure, the book might be stuffy and old, but the way I see it, it means something to somebody. At least to your prof, right?

[hurrayformarriage]

Maybe if I talk to him about it I can figure out what the heck he sees in it. He's pretty good about answerin' emails.

[cosmicsoul]

What's the question you're writin' on?

[hurrayformarriage]

I'm supposed to talk about why Satan is or isn't a sympathetic character. I think he's supposed to be, but it's hard for me to sympathize with anybody when I'm just reading for a grade, y'know?

[cosmicsoul]

Hmm. I dunno, man, what would you do if you were writing it?

[hurrayformarriage]

Not really sure. Most of my stuff is about ordinary lives, y'know? Realistic stories.

[cosmicsoul]

There might be more in the cosmos than what we see, dude.

[hurrayformarriage]

I know, but it's easier to relate to stuff about things we can see?

[cosmicsoul]

Maybe you can try meditation.

[hurrayformarriage]

I ain't got the concentration, but I'll try...?

[cosmicsoul]

All it takes is chill, my dude.

[hurrayformarriage]

Yeahhhhh I don't think I've got that.
