you're right it's true i do etc

[heartsink]

Beats the rain.

Sounds like you have, too.

[ god oz why would you ]

<3

[velveteened]

That's right! I've been here a few days.

( he didn't take her for the type to try to stay behind, but it's a relief anyway that she doesn't seem to have )

<3

[heartsink]

These rooms are a disaster. Have you noticed? Whose bright idea was this setup, anyway?

[velveteened]

Probably someone who wasn't expecting them to be used so soon. But you're right that they're a bit strange. I didn't even know they made beds like this.

[heartsink]

Oz, both my roommates are guys.

[velveteened]

( OH GOD

oh god right one of his roommates is a girl why did this only just occur to him. )

Oh.

[heartsink]

It wasn't so bad with a door to close, but I don't think this is going to work very well, in the long term.

Then the new arrivals...

[velveteened]

You might be able to move to one of the other empty rooms before they get here, if you wanted.

[heartsink]

And then I'll get stuck with three new people. Ugh.

If anything is still empty after, though... Thanks. I don't think I would have remembered that.

[ HELP....ING HER BE A MISANTHROPE...??? ]

[velveteened]

Ahahah that's true. You could talk to my roommates after they come up if you'd want, but I'm not sure how much of an improvement only one other girl would make.

You're welcome! It's lucky there's still space right now.

( IF IT MAKES HER HAPPY... )

FONT..........

[heartsink]

Are you looking to be rid of yours?

SHHHHH

[velveteened]

Not at all! But the way things are now, we'll have one empty space.

SHHHHH YOURSELF

[heartsink]

[ a pause... ]

You want me to move in with you?

1/IDK BRO

[velveteened]

( WOW THAT GOT REALLY AWKWARD REALLY FAST )

No

[velveteened]

Not at all

[velveteened]

Well that's not what I meant

[velveteened]

( DOING A GREAT JOB AT COMMUNICATING RN )

[velveteened]

( he didn't mean anything untoward oh god

taking one more moment for victorian horror before composing himself )

[velveteened]

What I meant was that if you did want to leave your assignment and three new people seemed like too much to worry about, I could talk to my roommates about it.

OKAY DONE

[velveteened]

Assuming you'd be interested in something like that.

( just

going

to shut up now )

HER INBOX......

[heartsink]

[ he's so flustered oh no
flustering cute blonds
oh noooo ]

You're awfully sweet, you know.

rue the day you cr'd with me

[velveteened]

( nooo noooo noooooooo she's really not helping!!!!! )

That's nice of you to say.

it's a CRisis

[heartsink]

I don't say things for the sake of being nice.

omg

[velveteened]

You're right.

( that doesn't mean he has to take the compliment )

Have you been alright lately? It seems like we haven't talked very recently.

CRiminal even

[heartsink]

[ she didn't mean it as one
but she will let him reflect it. ]

I've been worse.
