Marty Geary

[survivalof]

NAME: Marty Geary
ROOM: Junior/Wands/Boys
ROOMMATES: Neal, Noah.

DECORATIONS: Marty doesn't have a ton of personal belongings and he definitely doesn't have a conscious theme. His pen cup is a cleaned out plastic Taco Bell cup. He has a couple of posters for bands or movies that he'll probably tear down in a month when he loses interest. He has a random assortment of tchotchkes he picked up because he liked them: a little Ares statue, a geode, a few tacky Haling Cove tourist things, a few scented candles. He does have a beanbag chair, a small storage ottoman, and some extra pillows hanging around. He likes for people to visit their dorm and socialize. Any other decorating has been done with Vee, and he has pretty much given her free range to do as she pleases so long as he doesn't have to foot the bill. He doesn't have a curtain under his bed unless she put one there.

TIDINESS: It's sort of an under-the-rug tidiness. At first glance, things look fairly neat, just don't open any drawers or the closet or look under anything. Marty isn't at all organized, but he does hate for things to be in his way. He will occasionally turn into a whirlwind cleaning force, only he doesn't necessarily accomplish anything useful, and doesn't really care where things end up, so long as they're out of sight. Where's his homework? He doesn't fucking know, dude.

STANDARDS: Generally, he's very easy going. So long as no one intentionally breaks his things, there's not too much that will upset him. He's fine with people borrowing his stuff, snooping through his belongings, or making noise. He likes visitors, and doesn't care when they show up and how long they stay. He's a sound sleeper. He's definitely not a proponent of a chore wheel. Shit will get done when it gets done.

PET PEEVES: As he is laid back, he expects the same of others. Don't get your panties in a wad if he borrows a pen without asking. Also, while he's fine with being asked to clean or whatever, he doesn't like being bossed around and told what to do. His parents don't live here. And he doesn't listen to them either.

HABITS: He eats all the time. Even considering the amount of exercise he gets, where does he put it all? He's a seemingly bottomless pit of junk food.

HIDDEN TREASURES: He doesn't have any embarrassing or personal items, but he does have an illicit stash. He's willing to share his if you'll share yours.

SLEEPING HABITS: Marty doesn't seem to have a good concept of time, and he's often casually late for things. His sleep schedule is also seemingly random to observers. Sometimes he stays up late, sometimes he turns in early. Sometimes he's up at the crack of dawn, sometimes he sleeps through his alarm. Whether he gets five hours of sleep or ten doesn't really seem to affect his energy levels. Whether he's asleep or awake often seems to depend on whether there's something appealing to occupy his attention.

BATHROOM HABITS: He takes a daily morning shower and intentionally makes his hair look mussed. Other than that, he's not super into personal grooming, though he's willing to go along with other people if they are. Junior wands spa day? Hell yeah, what is all this shit? Slap it on his face. He does wear a cheap, strong cologne of the teen boy variety. It lingers in the bathroom after he sprays it.

COMMON ROOM: Though he doesn't care about decorating it, he does treat it like his personal space. He'll lounge around, take a nap, sprawl out, be loud. Who cares? Quit whining.

GIF: So many of his gifs are shirtless...

Jr wand boys always using one another's stuff, and the room smells good from all the candles.

They don't have a chore wheel but they do coordinate smells for maximum pleasantness

Apple Pie and Cinnamon Bun can be burned at the same time but they learned the hard way early on last year that Winter Pine and Pinacolada can't.

There's a schedule. Mondays are gourmand, Tuesdays are aquatics, Wednesday is floral or woods...

Marty is glad to let Neal take charge of the smell schedule, it's an important part of their dorm room, and he can't keep track of what day it is alone.
