the roommates meme

who left the dishes in the sink?


This is a thinly-veiled device for gratuitous crossovers, I'm not even going to play.

What's an even more contrived and even more convenient way to get two characters into the same space than a coffeeshop AU? Making them live together. Want a more intellectual blurb on this meme? Living together lays bare your habits and idiosyncrasies, blah blah, sometimes you accidentally see each other naked.

Have fun ok


HOW TO PLAY:

- Comment with character. State your preferences/shipping permissions and any information you want other players to know.
- Comment to others. Play whatever first comes to mind, or RNG .
- This meme was written with crosscanon interactions in mind, specifically the kind that jamjar game settings generate. All the prompts work whether the characters come from different worlds or the same one, but if you have strong feelings about the kinds of source canons you will thread with, it'd be wise to mention that as a preference. Otherwise, gratuitous crossovers have the mememaker's blessing.
- Have fun and play nice!

PROMPTS:

1. First impressions. Well, it's been arranged. Whether you went for it because it was a good price, or you've been assigned to live together by an Authority, or the stars aligned somehow and now you're living in your dead rich uncle's mansion with the cousin you never met, it looks like you're going to be sharing your living space with someone for the foreseeable future. Time to shake some hands and make some friends.

2. Second impressions. You'd already met this person and gotten to know them, well before deciding to room together. Being friends with someone and living with them are different beasts, though. What are you learning about their habits at home? Does it change the way you see them?

3. Building friction. There's all kinds of little details that add up to a comfortable living space - cleanliness, noise level, expectations of privacy... If one of you isn't living up to the other's standards, is it going to start a fight or can you work it out like adults?

4. Furry friends. Where did you find that kitten? No, we're not keeping it!...okay, I guess we're keeping it. Make sure to schedule a vet appointment. And get it some toys. Wait, are pets even allowed here?

5. Social circle. Bringing friends over can always be hit or miss. Sometimes they get along great with your roommate. Sometimes they break a lamp and try to hide the evidence and if you ever invite them over again you're pretty sure you'll be flayed alive.

6. Sick day. Don't be a jerk, make them some soup or something. They'd do the same if it was you, right?

7. Snow day. The weather outside is frightful, and it's a good thing you remembered to buy bread and milk, because you might be indoors for a while. Cross your fingers that the power doesnt go out.

8. TMI. YOU DIDN'T NEED TO SEE WHATEVER IT WAS YOU JUST SAW. YOU DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT ABOUT THE PERSON YOU CANNOT AVOID CONTACT WITH. OH, WOE IS YOU

9. Property damage. The instructions very clearly said to secure the strap around your wrist before using the Wiimote. This is all on you, pal. Hopefully you didn't break something that was important to your roommate...or setting that'll get you in trouble with your landlord.

10. Movie night. Hey, wanna watch Sharknado with me? (Googling "random movie generator" gives you some helpful sites, if you don't have a movie in mind.)

11. Dinner is served. What do the food arrangements look like here? If meals are a group activity, does one person cook more often than the other? Who leaves what in the fridge? Do either of you have any food-based traditions that get shared? Or maybe you just want to break out the booze and have a fun night in.

12. Vent your spleen. Life is hard and sometimes you just have to complain to someone about it. "Someone" is the person you live with, naturally. They know you, but they're not involved in the drama - a perfect combination!

GONE?! Gone where?! [Poor little guy, all alone. Kenzi curls protectively over the affectionate ball of fluff and scritches under his chin.]

I'm the least responsible person on the planet! What if I forget to feed him? What if he voms on the floor and I step in it and I start crying because I stepped in it? What if he doesn't know how to use the toilet?!

After rolling his eyes, Jason doesn't know if they have come back from space yet or not. "You're the worst wingman I've ever had in my entire life," he mutters. To keep from even having to look at Dante, he folds over the handgun and pops the magazine out to check the bullets. One is undoubtedly in the chamber, so he puts the magazine back in and drops the gun in the holster on his leg.

Please don't ever wink at him again.

"Put your stupid-ass nipple holder on and let's go," he growls. Jason Todd is so done with your shenanigans and baseless assumptions that he is not also incredibly generous with the women! Even stalking away gets a loud-enough-to-hear: "Jesus, I know I'm not Redbird here, but neither are you apparently.

"I can't even go on a scout without coming back to a Gotham garbage dump. Do you even know how to spell clean?" Sounds an awful lot like Jason is kicking some of the trash around with his boot in the other room.

"...Why? You were literally two inches from the trash can."

( the kitchen faucet hasn't been working correctly. it's finally driven isaac to action- he can fix fucking space ships, surely he can handle a faucet. at the very most, he can put it back together and get a replacement if there's nothing he can do to improve it.

that was the plan, anyway, before something somewhere goes awry.

there are a few tools and pieces scattered across the counter, and for some reason, there's water spraying upwards from where the faucet used to be. why, he has no idea, because he's pretty sure he took specific measures to shut that shit off. but apparently life finds a way. it's a little beautiful, in a certain respect. just look at that graceful arch of water against the light streaming in through the kitchen window.

at least no one is here to see this.

until he hears the door open. he spins around, resting one hand on the counter and the other on his hip in what's supposed to be a casual pose. maybe it would've been convincing if there wasn't minor aquatic chaos going on in the background.
) ...Welcome back. ( awkward pause. hello, unnecessarily large roommate. ) You're home early.

...Yes.

[ I mean, it's an observable fact here.

The Chief is a generally quiet roommate and remains so in the face of plumbing disaster. He looks from Isaac to the faucet and then back to Isaac with a single eyebrow arched. It is both questioning and accusatory at the same time.

This is Chieflish for "jesus christ what the fuck". ]

[it's midnight when he hears the tiniest bark known to man. generally, hearing a bark in their neck of the woods isn't too strange. the apartment complex they lived in had a number of pet owners, most of which owned dogs. although, because many of the people who lived there were working joes, generally the high-time for dog barks was in the morning and in the early evening.

not midnight. definitely not on a tuesday.

almost immediately after being woken up, vergil figures out two things: it came from inside the apartment and dante must be the cause of it. he had stumbled in the door only two hours ago, hurrying off to his room with barely a quip to his brother. of course, he was a grown-ass man (early twenties was grown, right?), so vergil had stayed clear out of whatever had him in a hurry.

obviously, wrong choice. so vergil shuffles out of his bed, barely awake, pads down the hall, and knocks at his twins door. this should be interesting.]

[Hopefully, Kenzi has caught on quickly to a real problem about Nicolas.

That is...Nicolas seems to attract cute furry creatures. Namely, cats. It doesn't help that Nic seems earnestly very fond of felines, but it's a problem when they're somehow lounging in their place.

Who's cat is this? How did it even get into their apartment?

Nic is just lounging on the couch with a cat on his lap. Cat seems pretty pleased with itself.

Who's fucking cat is this though? Never mind that Nic has just accepted his fate. And this cat.

( FUCKING BRINKS. ) Okay, wait a minute, let's not single me out here. Just chill out for a minute, this isn't a big deal.

( leave it to grif to be the adult in this situation. ) So, even if I had something to do with this- which I'm not saying I did- this is an easy fix.

Obviously, we just nail it back together.

( what a riveting conversation, guys. ) So, I'm going to just... ( just go back to fixing the sink. he squints a little up at chief, then sloooowwwly turns back around.

fuck his life.

[Hiya roomie! Hope you're in a good mood, because... well.. there's signs of an animal in the shared apartment.]

[Noo its not a cute bunny. Or a tiny fluffy kitten. That would be too easy. Nono, it would seem that Chie decided to bring in a dog. But not a well trained poodle, or a energetic schnauzer, the dog she seems to have stowed in her room is this dog.]

[Chie stands at attention, the biggest, most sheepish smile coming to her face.]


Um... o-oh! You're here! I... hadn't had time to hide him. Ahaha...

This probably looks really bad, huh...

[ The Chief breaks out of his new morbid fascination with the gushing former-faucet with a shake of the head. Goddammit. ]

I'll get the bucket.

[ He does. And the mop. Step number one is to put the bucket where the water is landing, which... I mean there's still water all over the floor and it's not going to fix all of this, but the bucket buys some time so he can start mopping.]

I appreciate that you were trying to fix the faucet.

[ ...Okay so maybe, just maybe he thinks this is a little funny. ]

( isaac takes the opportunity to shamefully open up the cabinet underneath the sink and halfway climb inside. it's a win/win; he can scout out the root of the problem and hide his face at the same time. because chief can't judge him if he can't see him.

or maybe he can. isaac deserves it after calling out from his cabinet-cave:
) I'm not trying to fix it, I am fixing it. ( --well, that may be a strong choice of words. ) It's a work in progress, okay?

( shut up, he's not a god damned plumber. he figures out how to cut the source of the leak, though, and the sink-fountain gradually dies down to nothing. that's step one. )
