Oh hey! Alright. My apologies for being a bit spotty the last couple of days. I got suddenly recruited to work for a firework stand but I promise that I am still here.
Anyways, should we start with brainstorming/hashing of details? I have a couple questions to get your perspective to start with. First things first, characters? I typically rp female characters better, but I could also rp male characters. I feel like opposite gender roommates would cause more drama…? but I also enjoy wallowing in drama so if you want to do something else, totally fine.
I was thinking about the dynamic between the two. Like maybe they didn’t really know each other before moving in together and this whole sabotage is sparked by sudden jealousy or closeness between them? Or maybe even contempt? Let me keep brewing on that one. I’m really curious to see your thoughts…

I do male characters a lot better, but if you want to do same gender I also have a female character I can use. Anything you want I'm cool with! I like the strangers to best friends who mess with each other's love lives.

Let's do opposite then. Where should we start? We could do a little bit of a first meeting or start in the middle with the starting of the meddling?

Whichever you want! Do you mind starting so that I can get a feel for your rp style?

I went for a first meeting }}
Camille--
Camille had puttered around town all day looking for apartments. Nothing was working out. Out of the two available ones she had come across, both gave her the creeps. She would rather sleep in her car than there. Being new to town wasn't making things much easier because she had no idea about locality. The final location was on the opposite and, hopefully, the better side of town. As she pulled up to the last place that was communicating with her, Camille smiled. It actually looked decent. The cute white house had a long paved driveway and appeared clean and put together on the outside. The neighborhood seemed decent enough and there were certainly enough light posts to keep the shadows at night at bay. She had been texting the tenant but wasn't really sure who they were. Actually, Camille had meant to text them that she was here but she was already at the door and her phone was in the car. With a hesitant hand, the girl knocked 3 times, hoping that she had the right house. Over text, the person had said they would be free around this time and she crossed her fingers that that still stood true because she could really catch a break. While waiting for a response, Camille glanced in the glass of the door to ensure she looked presentable. She ran her fingers through her brunette hair and made sure her bangs were laying flat. Then she pushed up her tinted sunglasses before changing her mind and snapping them off her face, revealing round blue eyes. When she heard the floor creaking and locks turning, Camille straightened up and acted naturally. This was her last chance, so she couldn't screw it up. As the door opened, she immediately introduced herself. "Hello, I'm Camille. Are you…" She froze, suddenly forgetting the name. "Umm, uh... the person who lives here and has been texting me?" She floundered. A brief moment lapsed as she realized how vague her question was. "Possibly looking for a roommate?" Camille elaborated, thinking of the 100 other reasons someone might say yes to the first part. She was here to prove a point, not to get kidnapped.

Seth had been busy all morning making sure the house was spotless. He'd mopped the floors, washed the windows, done the laundry, he'd even bathed his cat. He had a lot more time on his hands now that he'd been laid off his nine-to-five. He'd just found the time to sit and begin work on his book when there was a tentative knock at the door. He knew because the motion sensor at his front door went off, causing his phone to vibrate against his thigh. With a deep breath, the slender man shut his laptop, standing and moving to the door. When his forest green eyes met the girl's blue ones, he had to take a few moments to process what she had said. He blinked twice, then nodded, speaking sort of haltingly, his hands moving along with his words out of instinct. "You are Camille, then? I'm Seth." He nudged the door open wider, gaze cool, but not unfriendly. "Come in. I'll show you around." He could tell the girl was nervous, so he tried to give a small smile to make her feel better. It didn't reach his eyes.

No worries}}
Camille -- Camille's expression of nervous embarrassment smoothed over into a smile at the introduction. “Yes, Seth. It’s nice to meet you.” She responded, following him through the door, grateful that she at least had the right house. Once inside she offered a well manicured hand to shake, trying to be polite. It was the least she could do after forgetting his name. “Did you have a roommate before? Or have you just started looking for one?” She asked, her mothers voice ringing in her head about what to do. Being the youngest of three made her the baby of the family and mother a bit protective of her. Especially since Camille was leaving home for the first time. Even though she was 21, a local college and security kept her from branching out, but now it was time for something new. Camille fidgeted with the sunglasses in her hand while getting the full tour, it was pretty basic; bathroom, kitchen, living room, bedrooms, closets and such. But to Camille it was perfect. She didn't ask about other things, instead, her mind was totally absorbed with observing all the details of the house. Her blue gaze sparkled with curiosity as she scanned each room, already imagining living there and because she brought so little with her (which is everything that could fit in her car) she didn’t mind that it was already fairly furnished.

Seth shook the hand offered to him, his eyes falling to her lips as she spoke. He took a moment to process what she said before speaking up. "You're going to be my first. I've never needed one until recently." As he went through a tour of the basics, he tried to crack small jokes throughout. When talking about the bedroom, he said "If you do end up living here it'll be both a blessing and a curse that I won't be able to hear whatever happening in here." He then chuckled quietly to himself. Once he'd finished up the tour, he waited almost anxiously to "hear" her thoughts.

Camille-- “Oh, okay. Well I hope I’m not too much of a hassle. I’ve never had a roommate either. Unless my two older sisters count.” Camille joked, trying to keep the situation light and not give away that she was totally new to this living on your own thing. At the mention of not being able to hear anything from the room, she raised an eyebrow “Is the room sound proof or something?” She asked, now putting her ear to the wall. “It would probably be a blessing, since I’m quote un quote ‘The hot mess of the family’.” Dramatic annoyance crossed Camille’s face before she pulled it away from the wall, this time feeling it’s texture, it felt just like a wall should which didn’t help her come to any conclusions. Maybe Seth played instruments, but she hadn’t seen anything suggesting that so far. Still, if you had this whole house to yourself, would it matter who heard you playing? Coming back to where they started she glanced around the space once more. “I like it.” She said into the air before directing herself towards Seth. “I like it a lot. Roommates then?”

"They count in my book. I was an only child." He hummed lightly. He started smiling faintly as she put her ear to the wall. "No, but my ears are." He chuckled lightly. "I can't hear either way." He hummed at her comment of being the hot mess of the family. "Sometimes being a hot mess can be a good thing. I've found hot messes to be the most fun to be around, and the least judgemental." Once the tour had ended and Camille had decided, he nodded. "Roommates."

No sweat. Whatever you are capable of doing is fine. }} Camille--Camille nodded at the confirmation, feeling a buzz from having successfully scored her first place to live. “Okay.” She pursed her lips and took in a breath as she thought about her next statement. “If we are going to be roommates, I have a couple of questions, mainly about the, um, not hearing thing?” Camille motioned towards her ears “Like first, how are you able to understand me?” Considering that if she ever needed help, knowing what would and wouldn’t work to get Seth's attention was important. More scenarios came into her mind like popcorn in a hot kettle, each popping off of each other and bringing more questions. “Actually, I have a lot of things to ask but for right now, just knowing how to speak to you will do.” A soft smile pressed into her lips as she decided not to bombard him with questions right off the bat.

Seth recognized how confusing that must be, so he didn't seen offended by the question. Quite the opposite, actually, he seemed delighted to answer. "Well, since my ears don't work, my other four senses are sort of heightened. Right now, I've been reading your lips. My parents had a system of communication that involved different scents of candles to communicate danger, but that's definitely complicated. I understand morse code and sign language if you know either, but it'll definitely be easiest if you just get my attention by throwing something at me before you speak." He smiled a little at his own suggestion for a moment before tossing his medium-length dark hair out of his face. "Or just step in front of me like a normal person."

Camille-- Camille nodded along with Seth’s explanation. It seemed reasonable to already have a system in place but also very complicated. At least she didn’t have to worry about him finding her constant chatter annoying. “Ask and you shall receive. I will definitely be throwing things at you when it is most convenient.” She teased “I also don’t know morse code or signing.” She admitted, scrunching her mouth apologetically but considered putting it on her bucket list. It was probably a good skill to have anyways because who knows what kind of situation you could find yourself in. Plus you could always add it to a resume. “Soo, when is the earliest I can move in? Like today?” Camille suggested, crossing her fingers in hopes for a yes as she peered up at Seth.

"Nothing too heavy, I like being alive." He chuckled softly. A tap on the shoulder will probably suffice in most cases." He nodded lightly, humming. "Today works fine for me. Hopefully once you settle in Nugget will have gotten used to you." Seth gave one final smile. "I'll make dinner."

Camille-- She pulled a triumphant fist pump before glancing at her watch to confirm the time. "Oh, wow. I didn't realize how late it was getting." With that Camille was off to unpack her car. She came in and out of the house carrying various boxes and items that didn't fit in a box. Slowly but surely her car emptied and the room filled. With the last laundry basket crammed with stuff, Camille laid on the floor of her room. The smell of food had wafted through the house and she was feeling pretty hungry. So far she hadn't seen the cat, but it was probably startled by the ruckus Camille had caused, dragging in stuff that smelt unfamiliar and strange.
After a short break, Camille meandered into the kitchen propping herself against the door frame. Her once high ponytail was sagging on her skull and it frizzed from multiple tightening's. Curtain bangs were sticking to her forehead from the sweat she had worked up. It didn’t help that even with the setting summer sun, it was hotter than hades outside. She felt relief to know that someone was at least making her a meal.
“What is it that you are making?” Camille observed Seth moving around the kitchen but didn’t move to try to help with anything. When he didn’t respond she remember that he couldn’t hear her, that would take some getting use to. Now she came closer, knowing that Seth probably hadn’t seen her come into the room and made a move to get his attention. Leaning up against the counter, she bent over to get into his line of sight. “Hi!” She spoke, wondering if he would be startled by her sudden appearance. “What are you making?” Camille asked again, hunger establishing itself from her stomach. She would eat uncooked noodles at this point.

While Camille brought her things in, Seth chose to start on dinner. He threw some things into a pan, boiling noodles in a separate pot. He settled into a groove, only interrupted by his brand-new housemate hopping up on the counter (he'd felt the vibration of the wood floor under him as she walked in) and getting in his line of sight to speak to him. "Ramen without the broth. I know of about ten difRamen. ways to cook packaged ramen." He couldn't help but brag just a bit about it. While his writing was halfway decent, he really prided himself in his ability to take normal packaged foods and make a meal out of it.

Sorry for the wait, work really bogged me down.}}
Camille-- “Sounds good, but ten different ways? Seems like overkill. I didn’t think the original version was so bad.” Camille commented with a shrug, letting her fingers walk across the counter to steal a slice of vegetable. She munched on the green slice to subdue her hunger. “But, I am prepared to be impressed, especially since it smells yummy.” She offered a positive spin on her original skeptical one. It wasn't often that Camille came out on the negative side of things but just like everyone in the world, she could have her days. "So, what possessed you to get a roommate so suddenly? It looks like you were doing pretty good on your own." She made this judgement based on the appearance of the house and smell of the food. Seth didn't seem like the kind of person who would need a roommate or want one at that.

Seth chuckled at her little comments, throwing a little more in the pan. "It's going to be, believe me." He paused at her question, seemingly thinking about it. "Well, I lost my job recently. It's hard to pay rent on unemployment, so I just need a little help is all. I may be getting a more enjoyable job soon, but you're free to stay as long as you need." He smiled.

Camille-- "Oh..." Camille paused after his explanation, feeling like maybe it was a more personal question then she meant it to be. She waited for him to return to the counter. A solemn expression about the realness of that situation replacing her ornery one from before. "Well, I can understand that." She sighed, but didn't offer an explanation. Shifting her weight to one side, Camille pulls out a crisp white envelope from the back of her shorts pocket. On the front, written neatly in blue ink was the word 'Rent' "Speaking about jobs, which relates to money, I have rent. I should've given that to you first. Remind me, did you want a safety deposit along with that?" She thumbed through the cash, to make sure there was enough to cover the cost. She felt proud to know she saved most of this money, although some came from family help, but it was a little sad to give it all away. It was the cost of independence, and that was all she wanted. This mindset made it hurt a little less.
"I also start my own job in like 5 days, so, you don't have to worry about me." She would keep that in mind to stay consistent with payments, maybe monthly timers would benefit her. This much responsibility had never been on her shoulders before and she was taking some proactive steps to not let it smother her. Calendars, alarms, notifications, Camille planned to set all of this up over the next week to get her head in the game. Still, it would take some getting use to. She absent-mindedly chewed her lip and spun the plain silver ring on her finger while her mind floated into all the things she needed to do. She wasn't much of a planner, or an organizer because she believed that half the excitement resided in the unknown. Partly, Camille felt overwhelmed and mostly, she realized why her sister's chastised her so much about doing something with her life.

While you're gone, I'm just here musing. What does your SN mean? I felt like it was a sentence without spaces (mostly because of the apostrophe) but I keep splitting it up in my head and I can't get that theory to make sense lol. }}
