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.

Thirty. But I've been dead for a while, does that count?

[mopocalypse]

I dunno. I was dead for a while, but it felt longer than it was and then it ended up undoing itself with, like, time travel or universes or something.

[goatsongs]

Lucky. I'm just hanging around to purify literature or something like that.

[mopocalypse]

You mean like one of those censors who goes around talking about thinking of the children? That doesn't really fit your image.

[goatsongs]

Those guys can suck my dick.

[Maybe he's been having a little too much beer already.]

I mean literature's disappearing from books and people's memories. Because of negative emotions tainting them, or something?

[mopocalypse]

Bweh? How does that even work?

[goatsongs]

Hell if I know. I just shoot monsters in tainted books to purify them, I don't think about it too hard.

[mopocalypse]

That sounds really confusing but also kind of cool.

[goatsongs]

Of course it's cool, it's me doing it.

[mopocalypse]

D'you think that kind of thing happens in this world, too?

[goatsongs]

Maybe. If your books start turning black, you know who to call!

[But that probably won't happen.]

[mopocalypse]

I dunno, this place is pretty strange. But hey, free houses, right? Even if you do have to share.

[goatsongs]

Worth it. As long as you don't have to work for them, I'm fine.

[guess who never had a job in his life]

[mopocalypse]

I can't even judge. I completely suck at school.

[goatsongs]

Did you fail middle school?

[...he may have done that.]

[mopocalypse]

Not exactly, but... I do ditch class a lot! Or, uh, did. I guess you could call me an ex-delinquent.

[goatsongs]

Tch. School's pointless for some of us anyway.

[mopocalypse]

You think? Maybe I should just quit school and become... You know what, I have no idea what I'd become.

[goatsongs]

Try everything until something sticks. That's the advice I used to hear.

[mopocalypse]

Is that how you became a professional... book saver thing guy?

[goatsongs]

Nah. I've been a poet since elementary school.

[This is actually true.]

[mopocalypse]

For serious? I never achieved anything at that age.

[goatsongs]

Not to brag, but I'm a genius.

[mopocalypse]

That's kind of depressing for the rest of us, you know...

[goatsongs]

Ehhhh. It's not for everybody.
