Eli Gardner

[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.

It's super good when you need some privacy to freak out or hate yourself.
