how

does one stop their roommate

from standing in the kitchen

in the dark

at 3 am

eating cold ravioli straight from the can with his fingers

Comments

[black_black_heart]

I feel like the 3 am part is less of a problem

more the standing in the kitchen in the dark eating out of a can, part

[k2so]

Perhaps he wants to save energy and that's why he doesn't turn on nor the lights or the oven?

[black_black_heart]

I'm gonna be real honest

[Trahearne does it to troll Tannusen at this point, and he knows it.]

I think it's because he's a tree

[k2so]

A tree.

Your roomate is a tree that eats cold ravioli. Right.

Are you taking any sort of medication nowadays?

[black_black_heart]

man, I wish

[However, Tannusen attaches a quickly-snapped picture of Trahearne. In all his green, planty glory.]

[k2so]

Oh, you were being literal. If he's a tree, wouldn't be enjoy being under the sun?

[black_black_heart]

you know, I hadn't thought of that

[Just adding for flavor, not tagging in]

[treesus]

[Somewhere else, Trahearne is overcome with the feeling that Tannusen is planning something terrible. Terribly annoying.]

[k2so]

Maybe if you get him a room with a huge skylight he will stay there instead of doing weird things in the kitchen.

[black_black_heart]

that's an idea

and we are on the top floor

do you know how to make a skylight?

I suppose just a hole would be bad

[k2so]

Alas not, but I am very good at punching holes through walls, ceilings can't be that different.

I'm sure there must be some good engineer or architect in the cities who could give you advice.

[black_black_heart]

hmm yes

you know, he does have a balcony attached to his room

maybe I should just lock him out there sometime

[k2so]

You could do that.

If you don't mind, I would like to suggest another solution, a very innovative one. mostly unheard of.

Wait for it...


...why don't you talk to him? Maybe there's a reason why he does that at night.

[black_black_heart]

shit man, you just blew my mind

[Snarky bot!]

[k2so]

[The snarkiest!]

I know, it's something most people never consider but statistics say it works 45% of the time.

[black_black_heart]

unfortunately we're in the 55%

or whatever percentage it is when they start doing the thing just to get you in trouble

[k2so]

Now that's an issue.

Oh well...the balcony it is.

[black_black_heart]

see, I knew you'd come around

[k2so]

Your arguments were pretty solid. [Kinda.] Still, give the skylight a try?

[black_black_heart]

I might just have to

or maybe a grow-light, like they use in weed farms

[k2so]

Good idea. That way he will know you care for his well being.

[black_black_heart]

what can I say, I'm a super caring guy

[k2so]

It really shows.

How did you two met? Or how come you decided to share a room? Because now I am curious.

aaah I didn't see this tag in my inbooox

[black_black_heart]

he's also fond of picking up stray cats

that's fine

[k2so]

There's nothing wrong with that. [/biased droid is biased.]
