It was brought to my attention by Thoth's wonderful diagram of what the dorms may look like, that Live would be sharing a bathroom and common area (kitchen included) with up to four other students. Live has had a bedroom to herself due to irregular sleep patterns and no one quite lining up with her schedule to be a suitable roommates, but she has had people share the hall with her.
She moved into the room she is currently living in when she arrived on the island and has not left. Literally. She doesn't go home for holidays. Nothing. This room, Room 431 (number referenced in this thread but can be changed if necessary), has been her home for a year and half. I would love it if she could have a hallmate who has been there for the full year and half but Live has completely ignored until now and then they start developing some kind of relationship. Maybe a hallmate that hates her. Maybe one that is secretly in love with her. Or one that is plotting to kill her...or has been studying her for a secret science experiment. Whatever. Literally.
Things to be noted about Live:
She has weird sleep patterns... She is awake for most of the night, usually until 5 or 6 am. Basically, once the sun starts creeping through her windows, she closes the blinds and crawls in bed for a few hours. When the weather permits, she will be out for most of the night but usually returns around 3 or 4am to clean up and get ready for some shut eye.
Live is very confrontational and extremely dysfunctional when it comes to dealing with people. She is blunt, which many people take as just plain on rude. She just has a very low people tolerance, another reason she has avoided a roommate. One was assigned once but things didn't end well.
However, Live is a fantastic cook. She had to learn how to fend for herself when it came to sustenance at a very young age. She knows how to grocery shop well and cook delicious, healthy meals. Doesn't mean sometimes she doesn't binge on pizza rolls now and then but at least a couple nights a week she will cook up a really great meal and she will make plenty for other people! So, you have to put with her walking around at all hours of the night and generally being a bitch but at least she will make enough of her meatballs and baked zucchini for you to have some too!
@Thoth could you link that image of the dorms on this thread so people can have it for reference? I lost the link or I'd do it myself....
Nevermind...Live doesn't need a roommate or hallmates.
If you have a really spatular idea, you can still respond...maybe something for after she graduates high school. There is still a whole semester left too. Anything could happen!
My college freshman Ari needs a roommate! She's a sweet, preppy angel, but her entire personality is totally fake. Her real personality, which she keeps under wraps, is manipulative and bitchy.
Like Live, Ari lives in the dorms, but she spends a lot of time out socializing or partying. She probably wouldn't be very happy about having to share a hall, but she'd pretend to be nice and friendly, perhaps sometimes to the point of being annoying. Sometimes she gets fed up with people, in which case she would retreat to her room before showing too much emotion.
I can see Ari disliking Live's company, but not showing it, and possibly ending up being just an annoyance to Live. I'd be excited to see where plotting could take this!
They can still live on the same floor. Live is 18 so she can legally buy drugs and alcohol on the island so..hat is a definite plus for Ari to consider an, idk what to call it, alliance/friendship thing towards Live.
Oh? In that case, we should definitely try to plot. They might bump into each other in the halls, or maybe if the dorms have any communal areas or something. @beloved
