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.

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.

[mopocalypse]

Too much work?

[goatsongs]

You can't really do genius things and focus on your studies at the same time. Or have a lot of friends.

[mopocalypse]

I dunno, Anego made friends with the rest of us and she gets 100s on everything. She doesn't even go to class.

[goatsongs]

Seriously? That's not normal.

[...he's jealous because he couldn't manage it.]

[mopocalypse]

Yeah, when I ditch class, I'm a delinquent, but when someone smart does it, it's called independent study. Unfair, unfair.

[goatsongs]

Completely unfair. If I were American I'd tell you to sue 'em for something.

[mopocalypse]

I'm not American either, though.

[goatsongs]

Guess you can't sue for anything petty.

[mopocalypse]

I don't even know how to sue somebody!

[goatsongs]

Me neither, but that's what lawyers are for. You throw money at them until they do it for you.

[mopocalypse]

I have 200 yen?

[goatsongs]

Maybe you'll get someone pro bono.

[mopocalypse]

How do you even get money.

[goatsongs]

I've heard some people work?

[mopocalypse]

I know, but I don't really have all that many marketable skills. Baseball. Fixing stuff.

[goatsongs]

That's still more marketable than poetry. Lucky.

[mopocalypse]

I dunno, isn't being a poet kind of glamorous or something?

[goatsongs]

It is, but it's terrible for paychecks!

[mopocalypse]

I'm just glad we don't have to make money here.

[goatsongs]

That's the best part. It's shitty otherwise.
