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

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.]

[black_black_heart]

of course not

but that's how we met

he caught me sleeping in tiger form under a tree and convinced me to come sleep on his couch instead

and now he torments me

with ravioli

[k2so]

Then, torment him back.

Eat broccoli in front of him.

Stablish dominance.

[black_black_heart]

I'm gonna try that

for science

[A little while passes.]

didn't work

he is, in fact, going to buy more since I seem to be such a fan of it

[k2so]

Well, there goes a plan.

On the bright side, he seems mindful of your eating habits.

[black_black_heart]

yeah that's what it is, mindfulness

[Trahearne is an asshole.]

[Which is just to say, he's finally giving as good as he gets. Tannu is low-key proud of the guy's slowly-emerging snarky side.]

[k2so]

One day I need to meet your room-mate, now I am curious.

[We are all assholes here, let's be honest. Pestering each other is how they bond.]

[black_black_heart]

easy enough to do, he owns a book shop by the name of 'tomes and thaumaturgy' in genessia city

and works part-time at the library

because he's a full-time nerd

[k2so]

So he works with outdated data storages. I'll have to visit the library more often.

[black_black_heart]

yep he's a tree who works with outdated data storage printed on dead trees

are you going to teach him about forks?

[k2so]

I'm sure that any psychologist would have a field day with your friend.

No, I am going to teach him about holo-pads and computers. You can fill about a million books of data in one of those alone.

[black_black_heart]

oh good, you're going to give him more to nerd over

just what he needs

[k2so]

Look at the bright side, if might keep him busy. And if he's busy, perhaps he won't torment you at 3 am.

[black_black_heart]

there is physically no way to keep him too busy for that

[Tannusen is a Good Influence.]

[k2so]

Then I think you are just doomed. Might as well assume it now.

[black_black_heart]

it's my terrible fate

but at least I can make fun of the things they do on the network for all of our entertainment

[k2so]

That's true. Your post are anything but boring.

[black_black_heart]

it's the carnie in me

I'm a real natural entertainer

[k2so]

What's a carnie?

Are you sure you don't need to have that checked?

[black_black_heart]

you've never heard of a carnival?

and undoubtedly I should

[k2so]

Ah, a carnival. I did but I've never seen one.

[black_black_heart]

carnies are the people who work at them

[Explains much of Tannusen's outward personality, to be honest.]

[k2so]

Ohhhh. Okay got it.

Do we have a carnival in any of the cities?

[It really does.]

[black_black_heart]

not that I know of

[And not that he'd go. While he has worked a few traveling troupe gigs in adulthood, he's not near that desperate now. Velvet Lust does great business, thanks.]
