Ella

fool_hardy: (Default)
From: [personal profile] fool_hardy
NAME: Ella Calloway
ROOM: Junior Swords Girl's
ROOMMATES: Willa Siskin & Rose Chapman

DECORATIONS: Something kinda like this. There's probably a lot of color and string lights. It's very eclectic, nothing truly matches, and it's very unorganized despite all the organization things she has???
TIDINESS: Ella isn't a clean person. She's not a slob tbf, but she's very forgetful. It's not unusual for her to leave her bed unmade, clothes on the floor, etc. She doesn't leave food though, so there's that? She does her best to confine the disorganization to her side of the room, though. She leaves her shoes at the door but will do that with multiple pairs, so there's probably a small pile of her shoes regularly by the door.
STANDARDS: Ella has no standards. She doesn't care what you do. Although a firm believer in sharing, she doesn't expect anyone to share their things so while you have free reign over anything she owns as long as you give it back, she's not expecting the same thing from you. She will totally respect your rules, though, unless she forgets. :(
PET PEEVES: Ella has to listen to music when she's studying or doing homework or pretty much doing anything in her room. She'll wear headphones, but the music often seeps through them so if Rose or Willa tried to yell at her or forbid her from her cherished shitty music she'd have a bit of a problem with that.
HABITS: The only routine is that she has no routine. She doesn't shower at the same time of day every day, she doesn't have designated study times or anything. She's always in and out. There is zero method to her madness.
HIDDEN TREASURES: She does indeed. Ella has a baby blanket she still sleeps with. It's a fraction of what it used to be, is super small now so it fits in her pillow and she hides it there and sleeps with it at night. She also keeps some illicit substances when she can get her hands on them.
SLEEPING HABITS: Nonexistent. There's no schedule to her sleep, either. She only sleeps a few hours every night - she tends to be up very late, is a super light sleeper, and is up early. Her sleep is really restless and she talks in her sleep almost as much as she does when she's awake. When that schedule eventually gets to her and she knocks out hard, she sleeps silently and like a rock. You could pour water on her and she probably wouldn't wake up.
BATHROOM HABITS: Ella is pretty efficient - she showers in less than ten minutes, and she gets ready at the speed of light unless there's something going on - party, dance, etc then she'll take a little more time. Typically she takes just a few minutes to throw on her make-up and get ready to go. Every once in a while she'll try and do something to tame her hair which might increase that time, but it's infrequent.

COMMON ROOM: Ella absolutely tried to decorate the common room, sorry guys. She doesn't realize if people are taking it down it's because they don't like it. She thinks it probably fell???? So she just keeps trying. She does NOT treat it like an extension of her own space, though she will forget some of her own things in there whenever she uses it so it wouldn't be unusual to see like, a blanket or a book or her ipod or whatever there.

Conway

bambae: (pic#11096495)
From: [personal profile] bambae
NAME: Conway Loxton
ROOM: Senior, Wands, Boys
ROOMMATES: Russel Reeve and Sullivan Sinclair

DECORATIONS: Okay on the wall above his desk is a pretty massive cork board. Throughout the year, he'll sporadically pin things to the cork board. Things of interest, unsolved mysteries, pictures of friends, bombass essays he wrote, newsclippings of bombass hockey games. At the end of the year, he'll take everything down and bring it home with him, but the one thing that remains regardless of time is a picture of himself, Hadlee and their sister Coyote.

He also has a few miscellaneous posters of pro Hockey players. And Gal Godot as Wonder Woman bc bitch is badass and deserves to be on his wall with the rest of the badasses.
TIDINESS: Conway is not super tidy. He's not a pig, and his mess tends to stay on his side of the room and accumulate around or under his bed. There's always an order to his mess and he always knows exactly where everything he needs is. His desk is always a massive plathora of books, notes, papers, etc. that he tends to shove to the side when he has to do some kind of assignment. His bed is never made. The sheet on it rarely gets changed, but it's usually always a tangle of blanket and pillows. He does not take his shoes off at the door. Sometimes he fails to kick his shoes off of the bed when he passes out at night.
STANDARDS: Conway has no expectations of his roommates. He tried designating quiet time like once, toward the end of last year, and it did not go super well. Partially because Conway isn't super great at participating in quiet time either. He doesn't really take much of his roommates shit, and he doesn't really give a shit if they take much of his. He does best if the room itself is more of a free space, where they don't have to deal with bullshit facades or worry about pissing somebody off, so he tends to hold his roommates up to a similar standard as that. It's the hardest to piss Conway off when he's in his own room.
PET PEEVES: I don't know. He doesn't have any pet peeves pertaining to rooms? Like so long as you're not a naggy bitch?
HABITS: Conway does homework assigned Fridays the day he receives the assignment. Sometimes he bitches about the topic while writing the paper, and he can mean about it - to the topic itself. He wakes up early, and goes for a run early. I strongly believe that no matter what is happening inside of the room, there's always music of some kind playing? Like no matter what.
HIDDEN TREASURES: Conway has a box of things that felt wrong to leave home that he keeps under his bed. Inside of the box are trinkets he's hard for years. A hockey puck, a bracelet, a letter that's been folded and unfolded so many times, the crease lines are starting to wear thing, a mix tape. He rarely goes through the box throughout the school year, but nobody else is allowed to touch it either.
SLEEPING HABITS: Conway stays up late and wakes up early. He usually doesn't pass out until after midnight, and he usually wakes up at five. He doesn't snore, but sometimes he does talk in his sleep. He also sleeps kind of hectically; sprawled out like a starfish. He tends to lose a blanket or pillow throughout the night.
BATHROOM HABITS: Conway showers in the morning, but he showers like somebody who would rather not shower. He takes ten minutes showers, barely bothers with his hair. He doesn't have a disheveled appearance, but he obviously isn't the kind of guy who takes ridiculous pride in his hair or appearance either.

COMMON ROOM: Conway treats it like a community space. He doesn't often mess it up and when he does, he'll clean it up. Sometimes he naps in it. Sometimes he'll put up posters like this

Neal!

Date: 2018-08-10 08:55 pm (UTC)
heliocentrist: (☀️010)
From: [personal profile] heliocentrist
NAME: Neal Amr Valentine
ROOM: Junior Wand Boys
ROOMMATES: The beautiful Noah Dressler and the incomparable Martin Geary

DECORATIONS: Neal doesn't really... decorate? Despite this, his space is carefully put together by someone who clearly knew what they were doing coughvenuscough. A pattered linen he brought home from Egypt this summer hang across the lower desk area, and he clearly loves string lights because there are at least 4 strings of them adorning the desk area.. There's a cork board of curated photos of his family alongside with any odd little cards and snippets of art he finds. His shelves are full of miniatures and models he's painted himself. His bedding includes extra pillows and blankets of well-selected colors and patterns. On his desk there's a magnifying glass on a moving arm for mini painting and model building. There are a dozen or so half-burned candles scattered around his space.

TIDINESS: Tidier than the average teenage boy. Neal likes a neat space, but he's not unusually fastidious. His desk is typically covered in scattered bits of homework or art supplies, and sometimes you might see clothes abandoned on the floor next to his bed.

STANDARDS: Neal is a very easygoing roommate. As long as no one breaks his things, he's very patient and generous. He trusts his two roommates if they feel like borrowing something, and probably assumes the same of them. He probably borrows Marty's clothes pretty often and never asks. He'd borrow Noah's too but he's so tall???? He likes his room to serve as a sort of club house for him and his friends, and Venus and Liam are almost expected to spend more time here than in their own room. He gets put out if they stay away for too long. There's one rule though: Hadlee can't visit. :)

PET PEEVES: Uh not a lot, honestly? Like I said, Neal is very patient, and if something did bother him he'd just Repress. He does hate having open food lying around, though, and would get on his roommates if they were super duper gross.

HABITS: Neal doesn't relax a lot. He's always working on something, and gets bored very, very easily. There's a revolving door of new hobbies that feature on his desk. He likes to burn scented candles, and has a pretty significant collection of them.

HIDDEN TREASURES: He's Student Council President, and as such doesn't have any illicit things hidden in his area. He knows Noah and Martin do, though, and pretends he doesn't.

SLEEPING HABITS: Neal is a consistent, heavy sleeper who usually checks out around 11 and wakes up by 7. Sometimes, if prompted, he talks in his sleep.

BATHROOM HABITS: Neal's learned all of his grooming habits by osmosis via his roommates. He's not as dedicated as them, but he wakes up, washes his face, moisturizes, and tames his curls. If they push him to do more he will, and he's learned he kind of enjoys beauty routines. Advocates Jr Wands Spa Day Parties because his beautiful friends will pamper him even if he doesn't know what most of these products do.

COMMON ROOM: He sees it as a gathering space for less intimate groups of friends, and does tend to make fair use of it. Sometimes he borrows chairs and drags them into his room, where they live until staff notices they're missing. Sorry, he was going to get around to returning it!

GIF: I need to fold in some icons from The Pacific and see if I can hide the fact he's obviously in a period piece.

Dora

Date: 2018-08-10 08:57 pm (UTC)
war_like: (Default)
From: [personal profile] war_like
NAME: Theodora Sandoval
ROOM: Senior Coins Girls
ROOMMATES: Danica Laska & Lucille Simon

DECORATIONS: Their space isn't super personalized. Dora has a few family pictures up and some army decor and that's about it. All of her organization things are black, white, brown, or forest green. It's a tidy, boring, and rather impersonal space.
TIDINESS: She doesn't wear shoes inside, but she doesn't leave her shoes lying around - they go right where they should be, lined up with all her other shoes. She's clean to a fault almost - everything is always in it's place. Her bed is always made. There's no pens or pencils sitting out on the desk. Everything is always put back to where it belongs.
STANDARDS: Dora is really anal retentive, but the same strategy of teamwork she brings to her squad is the kind of thing she employs with roommates as well. She does her best to "bond" with them, and though she kinda likes the idea of a chore wheel, she would only go through with it if Danica & Lucille were okay with it. Dora is one of those people who likes to just get things done, though, so if there's cleaning to be done she usually will do it herself. She likes living in a clean, relatively quiet space. She doesn't mind your music as long as it's not deafening. She doesn't mind talking either, she just prefers a mellow sort of atmosphere. If you constantly refuse to respect at least some of her space and rules though, she likely will crack down with more rules and regulations just to double-down.
PET PEEVES: She hates mess. Don't leave dirty socks crusting in the corner for weeks okay, that's gross. Don't leave food in the room, that's gross. Don't blast your music when you know people are trying to sleep, that's mean.
HABITS: Dora is very scheduled. She wakes up at 4:45 every morning, and has a quiet alarm that goes off even though she doesn't really need it to wake up at that time. She gets up, grabs her morning bag - which is literally just workout clothes, a tooth brush and tooth paste. She brushes her teeth and splashes water on her face, changes from her pajamas into her workout clothes, and then drops her things back off in the room by 5:05 to head out and run. By 5:15 she's stretching, 5:30 she's running, and will finish up at 6:30. She's back to grab her regular bathroom bag and outfit for the day and is in the shower by 6:40. It takes twenty minutes to shower + get ready for the day and she's out the door by 7am to get breakfast. When classes and clubs are over, she studies for a few hours, reads, and goes to bed by 9. Every day.
HIDDEN TREASURES: Dora keeps a diary, like a real handwritten diary.
SLEEPING HABITS: She's a consistent and somewhat light sleeper. She won't wake up at the drop of a hat, but she' easily woken by loud noises, sudden commotion etc. She falls asleep by 9pm every night and is up at 4:45 every morning, even on weekends. There are very few exceptions to this.
BATHROOM HABITS: She's quick and doesn't take much time in the bathroom, but she is always there at the same time and will throw a huge fit if someone disrupts her schedule just sayin.

COMMON ROOM: If she's there at all, she does treat it like a common space. she won't leave things there, she won't make a mess, she isn't loud or obnoxious about being in there.

Eli Gardner

Date: 2018-08-10 09:35 pm (UTC)
pleaseloveme: (💦47)
From: [personal profile] pleaseloveme
NAME: Eli Morgan Gardner
ROOM: Senior Cups Boys
ROOMMATES: Dustin Espinosa and Wallace Dunn

DECORATIONS: Not impressive. Eli's shelves are full of tools and things for school, and a collection of toys and figurines from various cartoons and shows. There are posters on the wall beyond his desk and over his bed. He's fastened a dark blue sheet to hang around his bed for privacy, as well as for darkness if he's taking a nap in the middle of the day.

TIDINESS: Eli's a mess. He's very disorganized, and just leaves things wherever he was last using them. He often has to tear apart his whole space looking for something he lost earlier. He's usually two days behind on laundry, and everything is wrinkled.

STANDARDS: Eli likes a quiet, low pressure dorm. He doesn't want to be pressured about cleanliness, he doesn't want people touching his things, he doesn't want a lot of people over. Eli just wants a peaceful space to come back to in the afternoon.

PET PEEVES: Inviting over strangers is something that Eli reaaaally hates. If a bunch of people he doesn't know invade the room, Eli will usually leave.

HABITS: He's usually running late, loses things constantly, and enjoys a nightcap every once in a while. Because Eli transitioned pre-puberty, he doesn't need a binder, but does have to regularly take T.

HIDDEN TREASURES: Eli has an illicit stash of booze and weed that he hides under the drawers of his cabinet. You need a screwdriver to get to it.

SLEEPING HABITS: Very very bad!!!!! Eli rarely goes to sleep before 2, and then has to make up for that lost sleep later with naps. He suffers from mild self-induced insomnia, and has terrible sleep hygiene. He's quiet when he's up late, though, and tries not to disturb his roommates. He can often be found sleeping in odd places, or fully clothed.

BATHROOM HABITS: Nothing special. He's pretty bare bones about his morning ritual, and is easy to elbow out of the way if you need that last open shower first.

COMMON ROOM: Eli doesn't make a lot of use of the common room unless he's specifically following a friend out there.

Liam

Date: 2018-08-10 10:00 pm (UTC)
unironickylorenfan: (🌕 welcome to my TED talk)
From: [personal profile] unironickylorenfan
NAME: Liam Augustin Blumenthal
ROOM: Junior Coins Boys
ROOMMATES: Selby and Ulrich, two ghosts.

DECORATIONS: There are a lot of plants. A peace lily in a floor pot, a bunch of small desktop succulents, a couple of orchids, an amaryllis, an air fern (which is not a plant but a skeleton, he loves telling people) and a small cat herb garden in his window, with lemongrass and catnip for Tobermory if he ever cares to drop by. Aside from that, Liam doesn't keep a lot of decorative extras and instead customizes practical items. His pen holder is skull-shaped (and all the pens are felt, blue ink and cap-side down), his stapler is a dragon, post-it notes dispense from a black cat. He has one of those novelty skeleton animal candles, half melted. His wall is lined with posters nicked from the Strip District back home - ads for past events, movies and bands, mostly. The only photos he has are stuck to the wall - a strip of photobooth shots of him with his mother and father. He's wedged a shower curtain bar between the legs of his bed, creating a really janky privacy curtain using a shower curtain covered in cryptids.

TIDINESS: Organized chaos. Liam knows where everything should be. Whether it's there is another matter. He is fastidiously clean - surfaces wiped down, clothes washed and put away, recycling separated, trash can never too full, food always sealed and put away - but he's sort of a disaster when it comes to the clutter. The only books or papers Liam ever puts away are the private ones - inspiration journals, poetry notebooks, his DMing binder. Everything else is just kinda out somewhere: on his desk, the dresser, the floor. It's all in his own space, though. He's very particular about not infringing on other people and has a lot of anxiety about staying out of his roommates' ways. Don't Tread On You.

STANDARDS: All he asks is that if he makes himself unavailable - by pulling his privacy curtain shut or putting on headphones - that you just leave him alone unless it is an Emergency. While he's certainly willing to clean everything, himself, he's hesitant to touch other people's things and, really, just isn't really going to do a great job of cleaning. He expects to be asked before his things are touched but is absolutely fascinated by how freely some people will just touch other people's shit. So, if you just kinda walk into his space and start playing with his stuff, he'll probably just look at you like a confused dog. As a rule he will not ask to borrow his roommates things (Liam will 100% anxiety suffer for life before he asks someone else for anything). That said, outside of a reluctance to invade his roommates' spaces, he's pretty direct when he's unhappy. If a roommate's side of the room smells like poopsock, he will absolutely let them know.

PET PEEVES: Don't chew with your mouth open for God's sake or he will commit die on you. No smoking or incense or anything that will give him an asthma attack, thanks.

HABITS: Schedules are not Liam's strong suit so it's hard to pin down what he might do or where he might be day to day. Mostly, he's out a lot and his room is there to decompress and be quiet in. If he's there, he's probably tending plants, doing difficult reading or leisure writing. He writes for about an hour every night before climbing into bed. And then can reasonably be assumed to be up for anywhere from one to three hours after that...still reading, writing or fucking around on his phone. If his roommates care that much, he definitely has a few motor tics and is not consistent with his non-asthma meds.

HIDDEN TREASURES: Liam has a binder for all his DMing material that he's very protective of and several notebooks with writing and poetry and no you are not allowed to look.

SLEEPING HABITS: Fuckawful sleep hygiene, my dudes. Liam goes to bed late and then stays up in bed with a screen on not sleeping. He rarely sleeps through the night, both because he's an extremely light sleeper and he just can't. He's prone to stress nightmares and he definitely isn't getting enough sleep. He dozes off a lot as a result, especially in class. His sleep depravation has been so bad that he has suffered auditory and visual halucinations in the past. He doesn't like to talk about it.

BATHROOM HABITS: Thorough shower in the morning (and after training or if he just feels gross, so sometimes multiple times a day). Liam is the sort that will run the hot water out if you let him. He co-washes his hair. Three different hair products, scrunch and air dry on weekdays, blow dry on weekends but either way it's like 20 minutes tops. Unscented moisturizer, yes. No cologne because it's hard to breathe.

COMMON ROOM: It's a community space. So, he avoids it unless he's there with friends. Far more likely to be found in the Wands Boys' Common Room headed for the Jr Boys dorm.
