Roommates

[semimeme]

 

Perhaps you were best friends who decided to make rent cheaper by living together, a couple who took the plunge and moved in together, or you could just be some random people thrown together by circumstance and really needing a place to live.

Either way, you're sharing a flat (or maybe even a room) now! What's going to happen?

You know this drill:
- Post your character name, series and any preferences.
- Go to RNG (1-12) and tag around.
- Have fun!

PROMPTS:
( moving day )
Boxes. So. Many. Boxes. Whether you're moving in or out, they've got to go. Is your roommate willing to lend a hand?

( chores )
Whose turn is it to take out the trash? How about the dishes? 

( pets )
Not only are you sharing a living space, you're sharing space with an animal. There could be allergies, behavioral issues, or an unexpected exercise partner. Most importantly, do you have to hide them from the super? Hmm, maybe not the fishtank. 

( uninvited guests )
Could be a party, could be a significant other that seems to have moved in... you just weren't expecting company tonight.

( the noisy one )
Is there anything worse than paper thin walls and a noisy flatmate? You can hear everything they're doing... even (or especially) the TMI.

( the friendly one )
Oh, lucky you, you've scored someone who wants to try and make things as good as possible for you both! Don't waste this now. It might just be the greatest thing you could have.

( the tmi one )
OH GOD why did you walk in during that? Nope, backing out now... unless you're into that. Why do they keep telling you things, as well? Gosh.

( the disaster )
There's not even words. These are the ones the internet warned you about. A little TMI or noise? That is nothing compared to the crazy you're stuck with right now.

( a night in )
Game night, movies, TV marathons, whatever you like. You and your flatmate are going to hunker down with some popcorn and have fun.

( the fight )
Chore chart not working out? Someone is always late with the rent? It just isn't working out. Time to have that confrontation you're been putting off. Good luck.

( shopping )
Whether you're going for groceries or furniture (or fun!), you and your flatmate are hitting the shops and spending some cash.

( the other )
Thought of something not on here? Go for it! Mix and match your options or anything else!

Who cares what they think? Live for yourself, that's what I say! And if they laugh at you I'll beat 'em up.

[She punched her fist into her other hand as a promise. Velvet should be fine; no one ever laughed at Neon. That might have something to do with her confidence, though.]

But hey, it's cool. It's not for everyone. We can hit up your usual joint  and find something there. And if you ever want to live a little you can always borrow my clothes.

[dustbun]

[With how Neon was, Velvet was 80% sure she could kick some behind.]

Well... maybe... maybe I can borrow your clothes first and see how it goes?

[She shifts slightly and points to the bow.]

But, um, we can get this? A compromise?

[nyankatt]

[To say she was beaming would be an understatement. She squealed and hugged Velvet, squeezing her a little before letting go and taking the bow from her.]

Yes! Of course! Anytime you want to borrow something, just let me know! I'm going to go pay for this, so go change.

[dustbun]

[Inability to complain aside, Neon was fun and friendly and a good roommate.
Different, but a good roommate.]

Do you want to eat something here? I can pay for lunch if you want to go to your sushi place.

...and I can wear the bow. To-to get used to it.

[nyankatt]

[The bow didn't match her outfit at all, but Neon was too excited to care. Her goal from the get-go had been to take Velvet out for a fun girl's day and maybe loosen her up a little. She called this a rousing success.]

Sushi sounds awesome! And after that we can go wherever you want. Do you need help putting the bow back in your hair?

[dustbun]

Yeah. I-I liked how you did it.

[Although first things first as she awkwardly shifts a bit.]

Just, um, let me change first. Okay?

[nyankatt]

No problem! I'll go pay, so meet me at the register if you're ready before I am, 'kay?

[She winked and was off without waiting for a reply, a trail of rainbows following in her wake as she darted across the store.]

[dustbun]

[Velvet's never going to get used to that. Oh well.
She goes off to get changed and returns to find Neon at the registers.]

[nyankatt]

[Buying the bow didn't take long, but apparently Velvet had been faster. Hopefully she hadn't seen the cute bunny button she had thrown in the bag - she figured it was small enough that Velvet might actually wear it or throw it on her book bag. That it matched her cat one was purely coincidental. Purely.

She put her wallet away and turned back to Velvet.]

Wanna race?

[She winked, knowing Velvet probably wouldn't go for it.]

[dustbun]

[She'd notice, but she'd wear it on her bag.
As a little reminder of their friendship.]

Don't-don't you think that's a bit dangerous?

[nyankatt]

Dangerous is just another word for fun! You need to learn to let loose a little.

[She doesn't mean it in a bad way, but it's true. Velvet was way too self-conscious.]

[dustbun]

[A pause, twisting her face and getting into a running stance.]

[nyankatt]

[Neon's eyes widened. Did she just..? Neon grinned, not sure what sparked this sudden change and not caring, before assuming her own position.]

Ready? On your mark... get set... go!

[And she was off. She had the advantage that she could outrun mall security (they'd given up on catching her long ago). Hopefully Velvet could, too.]

[dustbun]

[Don't underestimate a rabbit's fear.

In this case, fear of getting in trouble with security.

Velvet's still too much of a pushover to not get roped into Neon's antics which is what made her play this incredibly stupid stunt.

Although give her credit, Velvet's very fast and while she's not as fast as Neon's skates, she can keep up pretty well.]

[nyankatt]

[Neon flashed a smile as Velvet tried to catch up to her. Not bad. Knowing the place by heart, she was skating backwards, occasionally checking over her shoulder for pedestrians. On one of her checks she spotted a security guard ahead. Not a problem for her, but she wasn't sure about Velvet.

She made the snap decision to switch directions and grabbed Velvet's hand, tugging her behind a plant and pulling her close to keep her out of sight.]

You're pretty fast!

[dustbun]

[Velvet's feet came off the ground as Neon pulled her closer, making Velvet blush. While it was a tiny bit thrilling, she was more fearful of getting in trouble than anything.

Neon however, seemed to be having a blast.]

Can... do you mind if we get something to eat now?

[nyankatt]

[Neon laughed. It was adorable how anxious Velvet was over something so trivial as getting caught running in the mall.]

Yeah, of course. Oh, I almost forgot to put your bow back in!

[She took the bow out of the bag and fixed it back into place before stepping back to admire her work.]

There we go! Much better!

[dustbun]

Thanks.

[She smiled, looking down at her feet.]

Can we not race anymore either?

[nyankatt]

[She tried not to let her disappointment show at the request. She had gotten Velvet to try something new, and that was definite progress. She hid behind a playful smile. Going fast was part of what made Neon Neon.]

No promises! So, sushi?

[dustbun]

At-at least not in the mall. Maybe at a park or something like that.
Outside?

But, yes. I-I think this place has the rolls I like.

[Grabbing onto Neon's hand, she waited for her to, well, go fast.]

[nyankatt]

[Neon didn't race away for once, instead choosing to glide at a slow pace for her (a normal pace for anyone else) to keep Velvet comfortable.]

And then after that we still need to you new plates and that outfit I promised you. Where do you even find your clothes?

[She almost finished her question with "the thrift store" out of her teasing habit, but she didn't actually want to offend Velvet.]

[dustbun]

Normally not here.

[The thrift store wasn't that too far off, honestly.]

But you don't need to get me an outfit.

[Even at Neon's slow-er pace, Velvet was still behind. That giant bow was hard to ignore, but she was determined to be brave. For Neon's sake.]

We-we can have lunch and get plates and go home.

[nyankatt]

Are you sure?

[Because the woman was in desperate need of a new wardrobe.]

Because it's not a problem - your clothes probably aren't that expensive anyway.

[She startled, realizing she had let that one slip through the cracks.]

N-not that they're not nice in their own way! You just don't seem like the type to spend money on something so frivolous as clothing.

[And now she was calling her cheap. Smooth.]

[dustbun]

[She actually starts laughing a bit at that.]

Sometimes department stores have clothes I like, but you're right. I'm not one to spend money on clothes.
I just prefer a certain style.

[One that doesn't bring a lot of attention to herself.]

[nyankatt]

[Style was one word for it.]

Then how about after lunch, you lead the way?

[Because Neon really had no idea where to begin looking for drab clothing.]
