The Roommates Meme

Whether its in the dorms at college or just because it costs too much to live alone, sometimes you just end up sharing a living space with someone else. A roommate. Or even more than one. Sometimes they're your friends and others you hate their guts. Its not always easy adjusting to living with other people.

- Post with your characters, listing name and canon in the subject line along with any prefs.
- The person that replies is now your character's roommate.
- Either set a scenario of your own or use the RNG to pick one.
- Have fun threading things out!

1. Moving In - Say hello to your brand new roomie! They're moving in today. Are you going to help them with their boxes? Hopefully you get along.

2. Moving Out - For whatever reason, you're parting ways. One of you is moving out. Will it be a tearful goodbye or are you going to tell them not to let the door hit them on the way out?

3. Best Friends - You and your roommate have been together a long while and you've become great friends. Hang out, order a pizza, watch TV. Have some fun with this great person you live with!

4. Angry! - Maybe they left the bathroom a mess. Maybe they're just way too loud at night or they ate the last of your cereal. Whatever the reason, you're angry at your roommate. Maybe they're mad too. Have a fight or try to work it out somehow.

5. Falling for them - You didn't think it would happen but it has. That roommate of yours is just your type and you've fallen for them. Will you tell them or keep it to yourself? Maybe they already know and are trying to figure out things for themselves.

6. Wildcard - Roll again or pick your own. Whatever looks fun.

[Watch out, big guy. The nosy reporter is moving in. Good luck hiding your cape!

[Right now, she's dragging a pretty hefty suitcase by its handle into your apartment. And shooting a look in your direction.]

So, Smallville, you just gonna stand there and daydream, or are ya gonna help a girl out?

[Good thing he keeps that somewhere else.

He was never going to get used to that nickname...even if it was accurate. He blinked at her calling for his attention and looked over, then smiled, looking down bashfully, and he came over.]

Sorry. I was a thousand miles away.

[Good boy, Clark. Now that's what a good new roommate does.

Lois scoffs, giving him a look.]

Tell me about it... you looked like you were on another planet.

[She lets him take the handle of the suitcase.]

So what's for dinner tonight, roomie?

[A smile. Because you know Lois doesn't cook. Unless it's cookies. And sometimes even those are burnt. And she's pretty sure Clark doesn't want burnt cookies for dinner.]

[Okay, see, that's funny. The whole other planet dichotomy, that is. Hey, at least he's got a cute smile. It'll give you something to look at when you live with him, right?]

Burgers and fries? [It's simple, he gets that, but it's also short notice...or something like that. Okay, he'd gotten distracted by having to do the whole superhero thing a bit...no one's counting, right?]

[Lois makes funnies sometimes. On accident, even. And that he does. Have a cute smile, that is. A very cute smile. Not that you'll ever hear her say it.]

[She shrugs.] Hey, sounds good to me. You're buying, right? [She gives him a little smack on the shoulder. It's the nice thing to do, right? A welcoming gift. She'd do it for him. Probably.]

[Well, she can see that cute smile of his again, you know the one she'll never admit is cute?]

Do I have a choice?

[And now Lois is smirking. Because you should know the answer to that, Clark.]

Not really.

[And now Lois is going to go all serious!face on Clark.]

I don't know if I said it, Clark, but... thank you. For... this. Wasn't it nice for my sister to run off with her boyfriend and leave me high and dry? Remind me to kick her ass for that...

[Why was he not surprised? Oh. Right. It's Lois.

He smiles again, grabbing a light jacket from the rack.]

Don't mention it. It's the least I could do.

[She's smiling again. You look kind of adorable when you look at her like that, Clark. But she'll never say that.

She clears her throat, managing to look away from that cute smile momentarily.]

So, uh... I guess I'll start the whole unpacking thing while you're getting the chow.

Oh. [He clears his throat.] I thought...we'd go out and then we could both tackle that when we got back.

[Okay, now she's a little nervous. Why, she doesn't know. Sure, she's had lunch with Clark before but it's somehow... different now. They're roommates. She shouldn't be nervous.]

Oh. Um, okay. Sure. Why not?

[She laughs a little bit.]

I don't know why I didn't think of that.

[Keep cool, Lois.]

It's okay, Lois. [And he smiles again, as though to set her at ease, even though he's more than a little awkward himself.] I've never done anything like this before, either.

[Roommates? What are those?]

[Oh my God, can you please stop doing that, Clark? It's distracting her!

She swallows hard and then reaches down for her little purse. She takes her id out and shoves it in her pocket.]

Little habit I have. I'm not paying, but it's wise to take the id in case of... ya know, or accident or something.

So... shall we go now?

So sorry, Clark from another world... Lois made me do it.

There is no sorry! There was a part of me hoping it would happen
