@Drake> My roommate persists in his weird behaviors
[17:23:12] <phryne> do tell
[17:23:43] <@Drake> He opened a box in the middle of the room and then just left it. He has yet to take out the contents and is just browsing the web
[17:23:54] <phryne> ominous
[17:24:02] <@Drake> Well, he's just a queer fellow
[17:24:03] Acedia [~Bunnyapoc@synIRC-F78898E6.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit IRC: Quit: To Bunnytopia
[17:24:12] <phryne> maybe he wants you to look in the box
[17:24:18] <@Drake> He insists on having lights out at 10:30
[17:24:22] <@Drake> I know what's in the box
[17:24:27] <@Drake> It's a set of shelves
[17:24:31] <phryne> he... what???
[17:24:39] <@Drake> Yes
[17:24:48] <@Drake> He wants all the lights to be out at 10:30
[17:24:52] <@Drake> In college
[17:25:00] <@Drake> With a roommate
[17:25:02] <phryne> has he been in prison before?
[17:25:13] <@Drake> Not that I know
[17:25:25] <@Drake> He left his dirty clothes just bundled up in the bathroom
[17:25:35] <phryne> gods below, I might actually pity you
[17:25:53] <@Drake> He's also really quiet and doesn't talk to me unless I prompt him
[17:26:02] <@Drake> And now he's just leaving the room!
[17:26:14] <phryne> well, that should make it easier to ignore his wishes
[17:26:15] <@Drake> With the box left on the floor
[17:26:20] <phryne> just leave the lights on
[17:26:23] <phryne> kick the box
[17:26:25] <phryne> be mean
[17:26:31] <@Drake> I think he has aspergers
[17:26:39] <phryne> oh shit
[17:26:41] <@SaraHysaro> I could see myself being weirdly quiet most of the time (until I actually got used to you, anyway), but man - sounds a bit rough Drake
[17:26:43] <@Drake> He reminds me a lot of a kid I knew with them
[17:26:58] <phryne> well, you kind of have a right to know if he has
[17:27:08] <phryne> makes a great deal of difference
[17:28:16] <@Drake> I think I heard him rubbing one out a couple nights ago- while I was in the room in my bed, awake!
[17:28:22] <@SaraHysaro> o_o
[17:28:31] <@SaraHysaro> Did he know you were awake?
[17:28:47] <phryne> well, boys will be boys^^
[17:28:50] <@Drake> It was either that or he has some sort of breathinng condition
[17:29:09] <@Drake> I mean, my computer was open
[17:29:23] <@Drake> But the room was pitch black aside from the light shining on me
[17:29:56] <@Drake> I also keep in my headphones a lot of the time, he may have thought I had them in
[17:30:34] <phryne> a lot of people are probably unhappy with their roommates. is it easy to swap?
[17:30:42] <John_Moose> This sounds like a very character-building kind of experience
[17:31:08] <@Drake> No, I don't think freshmen can swap unless the situation is like, critically bad
[17:31:20] <@Drake> At this point it's just stuff I can ignore
[17:31:26] <@Drake> Can't punish someone for being odd
[17:31:31] <@Drake> Unfortunatly
[17:31:34] <phryne> sounds like prison, really
[17:31:41] <phryne> New Newgate would probably be better
[17:31:59] <@SaraHysaro> Wearing a mask 100% might be kinda annoying, though
[17:32:05] <@SaraHysaro> *of the time
[17:32:05] <phryne> but at least you can escape there real easy
[17:32:21] <@Drake> My parents have agreed to help me get an apartment for next year
[17:32:40] <@Drake> Oh, so he's back in the room now with another package
[17:32:47] <@Drake> And he opened this one up
[17:32:56] <@SaraHysaro> More shelves? :P
[17:32:58] <@Drake> And actually removed the contents
[17:33:07] <@Drake> No, this was a package I'm unfamiliar with
[17:33:33] <@Drake> I knew the other was shelves because it was from my parents- I had extras, and they gave them to him
[17:33:40] <@Drake> WTF
[17:33:49] <IronParrot> a dildo?
[17:33:53] <@Drake> He took the opened shelf box and put it under his bed
[17:34:01] <@SaraHysaro> That was my first thought IronParrot :P
[17:34:08] <@SaraHysaro> And why? Weird
[17:34:13] <@SaraHysaro> Shelves are nice.
[17:34:23] <@Drake> I'm going to be so mad if he doesn't use those
[17:34:36] <@Drake> They're nice shelves, and my parents were kind enough to give them to him
[17:35:08] <phryne> ... and thus started the shelf wars.
[17:35:19] <IronParrot> kill him in his sleep
[17:35:22] <@SaraHysaro> I hope he's at least going to write a thank you to your parents >_>
[17:35:39] <@Drake> If you ignored the cinder blocks, my half of the room could be a small bedroom in a chic apartment
[17:35:50] <@Drake> His side of the room looks like someone living in a refugee camp
[17:36:14] <DrakeMobile> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Joba31Bg/IMG_2289.JPG
[17:36:42] <@Drake> My half
[17:36:43] <phryne> except for the carpet, that looks like a prison cell
[17:37:11] <DrakeMobile> My chair https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/5DdgYD9Z/1503182223.JPG
[17:37:26] <@SaraHysaro> Does it? I'm not terribly familiar with what actual prisons look like. I've seen some nice cells in other countries, though
[17:37:27] <@Drake> It's an awesome swivel chair
[17:37:38] <phryne> are there windows?
[17:37:42] <@Drake> Yes
[17:37:42] <@SaraHysaro> Looks comfy :)
[17:37:47] <@Drake> It is
[17:38:05] <@Drake> I mean but if you think my half is bad, his half would appear nightmarish
[17:38:23] <@Drake> I can't photograph it because he's in it now
[17:38:46] <phryne> I will repeat what John_Moose said: character-building, Drake.
[17:39:01] <@Drake> More like a test of my fortitude
[17:39:01] <John_Moose> Build a wall in the middle of the room
[17:39:08] <@Drake> I should
[17:39:17] <@Drake> But MY fridge is in the middle
[17:39:39] <@Drake> The printer he brought he promised me use of has yet to be opened
[17:39:43] <@SaraHysaro> At least when you get your own place you'll get to pick your roommate(s)? Assuming you need to, anyway
[17:40:05] <@Drake> So now he gets use of the fridge and I do not have use of a printer
[17:41:31] <@Drake> On paper he seemed like a nice enough person, so I didn't mind being paired with him
[17:41:47] <@SaraHysaro> It's the little things, though
[17:41:53] <@SaraHysaro> They add up
[17:42:43] phryne_ [~phryne@synIRC-A595762D.dyn.telefonica.de] has joined #argo
[17:42:49] <phryne_> give him a chance
[17:43:00] <@Drake> I will
[17:43:03] <@Drake> I am
[17:45:25] phryne [~phryne@correspondents.lounge] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 185 seconds
[17:45:29] <@SaraHysaro> It'd be kinda funny if we acclimated people to living together the same way we do cats. "Your new roommate is on the other side of this door" "Can we see each other?" "Not yet :D"
[17:52:02] <John_Moose> That sounds surprisingly valid
[17:52:10] <John_Moose> Step one: same irc channel
[17:52:40] <@Drake> Ah yes, he's left
[17:53:25] <phryne_> well, good night everyone!
[17:53:28] <@SaraHysaro> Night!
[17:53:29] <IronParrot> nighty!
[17:53:38] <@Drake> Night Phryne
