The Return of the District Suite Meme

[etcircenses]

Basically, this meme is to figure out what it's like living with each other if our characters don't have CR already! Go below to your District thread and post what it's like living with your character. Do they leave their dirty dishes in the bathroom? Hit their snooze button eighteen times each morning? Steal food out of the fridge? Sexile people out of the living room? Leave passive-aggressive notes? Arrange "talking pillow" circles whenever someone forgets to say thank you?

Post it here!

Re: DISTRICT 1

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Howard's also awful to live with! Thankfully, he mostly keeps to himself.

You can smell his room from the hallway because he hoards garbage. It's bad. If you ever actually look in his room, it's like an episode of Hoarders.

He will steal all your food out of the fridge. And freak out if you touch his, although that involves when he's eating it because he doesn't leave it where anyone else can get to it. It's mostly in a locked refrigerator and shit under his bed.

He often wakes up screaming. He usually locks himself in his room and doesn't come out for hours after that. He doesn't come out or answer the door if anyone knocks unless it's Ellie.

He goes through your garbage and he hoards that. It's added to the pile of stink in his bedroom.

He will outright blow up at you if you toss food out. Since he's not only histrionic but an immature asshole, this will sometimes include strewing the garbage everywhere, breaking plates, slamming doors and knocking over furniture. And screaming. Lots of screaming. Possibly breaking into tears and locking himself in the bathroom. If anyone wants to be victim to this crazy in a thread let me know.

[pepsi_cola]

Victory lives in the Stylist's quarters, which are an annex of the District One Suite. She has a workroom there too, where she spends most of her time sewing and designing. It's incredibly messy, and she's often blaring old movie soundtracks or Frank Sinatra music while she works late into the night. She has no time management skills, so she's always on a deadline.

Yes, there is a fainting couch in there.

When she isn't emerging to wail about how hard her job is, makeup a mess and electronic cigarette holding her hair up, she's having Avoxes wait on her and bring her tea and alcohol. She sits in the living room and tries to grab Tributes and drag them back to the workroom to put them in new clothes. She sniffles constantly at how smelly the Suite is and whines about how the other Suites are so much nicer.

She insists that the Avoxes are trying to kill her if they so much as pull the curtains back too fast, because she considers herself a delicate flower.

Barbie

[baaarbie]

Barbie's an awesome roommate.

He goes to bed early and rises early, he's always clean and neat and relatively quiet and he likes to sit around the commons and read or fiddle with things when he's not doing anything. He always has a genuine smile and a willingness to help or talk whenever he crosses paths with someone else, but he's very good about minding privacy and giving space as well.

Barbie lived alone for several years, so he's used to doing the cooking and cleaning, so he can often be seen doing those things as well and will offer to make something for someone else if they stop long enough.

Re: DISTRICT 1

[sleeplessinalternia]

Surprisingly, Karkat is a less awful roommate than some of the other inhabitants of D1! This is possibly because he knows what a hamper is (even if he calls it by some convoluted troll term), washes regularly, and doesn't hoard food or garbage in his room.

Speaking said room, his possessions are arranged neatly in piles (it's a troll thing) and by now most of the walls are covered by posters for capitol romcoms. When there is an arena going on he'll try sometimes to commandeer the common room tv for romcom watching, with mixed success.

He keeps threatening to cook something called 'grubloaf' if he can manage to find acceptable insects.

All of his food in the fridge is labelled in both troll and human despite him being the only one in D1 who can read troll. He has a tendency to slip passive-aggressive notes underneath the doors of people who annoy him. These are written all in capitals and contain copious swearing.

He tends to hog the district computer, especially on nights when his insomnia gets to him. This is because he is secretly monitoring and participating in the online Hunger Games RPF community under the name carcinoGeneticist. Under said name he has written a bunch of Katniss/Peeta fanfic (plus a couple about Katniss' 'counsinhood' with Gale), put together an Authoritative Troll FAQ, and and mostly just complains about how everyone's fanfics are unrealistic. He is known for his mysterious hiatuses.

When he does manage to sleep, it's always in a sleeping bag. Anyone who's been in D1 since last summer may remember the lime jello incident. It has not been repeated.

DISTRICT 2

[etcircenses]

Nasir

[calledmenasir]

Nasir gets up early and goes to bed fairly early as well (used to rising with the dawn and at a certain point candles and campfires only do so much for illumination). He's pretty clean and doesn't leave much-- if anything-- lying around. Also he's pretty clean himself. His hair is always perfect (and he likes these showers now that he's gotten used to them).

At first he ate a LOT but after getting sick, he went back to his previous ways of moderation. He still thinks feeling full is really, really odd. He doesn't snack, just eats at meals.

He's a quiet roommate. Keeps to himself. Doesn't really talk much though he'll chat if prompted though he's super depressed and that comes out in agitation so this may or may not be a good idea. After the arena, he'll be out late with Gannicus drinking and knocking over furniture when he runs into it but he always tries to get everything back in its position even if he doesn't always succeed.

Oh yeah, I forgot something pretty important. He doesn't care about walking around naked. Usually he's only half naked though. You're welcome.

Jet

[metalicarus]

Jet goes to bed lateish and wakes up at 'decent human hours' though seeing him before 8 would either be caused by an outside party or because he just couldn't sleep at all. Which is rare for him since Jet is a very light sleeper and falls asleep easily.

Luckily, his military/government history has made him neater so he generally keeps everything of his in his room and even in there, it's mostly organized if not disheveled.

He's not exactly meticulous with details, so often times things won't be put back exactly where they go if he messes with them, but they'll be in the general area.

In the mornings he's barely functional or awake till he's had enough coffee to wake him and his eating habits consist of constant snacking since he's always hungry.

He generally keeps to himself, but he never acts or puts off an unapproachable vibe and if he sees a reason to talk to someone or is talked to, he will; he's just used to living by himself more and working in a place with a bunch of people he keeps distant from, so that's kind of what he defaults to.

thor

[worldsaway]

Thor's sleeping habits are a bit sporadic, he didn't particularly need much sleep at full strength, but he finds he needs more of it nowadays. It's very difficult for him to settle properly, so he might loiter about and drink and engage in deep conversations about why they're here and what their families are doing.

Despite his best efforts, he's loud. Very loud. He can't measure his reactions or his thudding around as well as everyone else would like him to. He can also go through stages of grumping to extreme enthusiasm. He is perfectly capable with Capitol technology, even if a lot of it is like windows 98 to him.

He thinks food is a team effort and he can cook and prepare simple meals, he likes to share and he likes to eat with people. When he eats, he makes a little extra and he invites his district mates to join him. What he isn't good at is cleaning up after himself, he is a messy man.

He drinks a lot of coffee, the coffee machine is his best friend. He watches TV out of curiosity when he can stand to, sometimes he gets a little invested. He collects Capitol magazines because well... they interest him.

DISTRICT 3

[etcircenses]

Re: DISTRICT 3

[gardienne]

Eponine is probably an annoying District-mate to have. Although quite quiet in the suite, and often absent for several days at a time, she also has a habit of pocketing bits left unattended in the common area of the suite, which later end up in her bedroom. She takes anything and everything, from books and pens to bobbles, earrings, necklaces, even flowers. If it goes missing, it's probably in her room.

Her room is quite messy usually, because she usually has a lot of stuff. After having nothing, she hates to throw things away. She collects all sorts of things. Jewellery is hung up on her walls with nails and pins. Her carpet is littered with bits of paper, filled with carefully practised letters. In a corner, there is usually a pile of fan mail that Eponine slowly works her way through, screws up and throws into the opposite corner. There are several images of herself and Eva and herself and Sigma pinned haphazardly on the walls too. Her bed is often unmade: cushions usually litter the floor. Under her bed, there are boxes - each box contains bits of food: tins of fish and beans and fruit and sweets and chocolate - just in case she feels hungry. Sweet papers and ice cream tubs also litter the floor, along with the odd spoon.

Right now, Eponine's room is largely empty. There are still pins on the wall, and the odd photograph, and there are still some bits of food beneath her bed, but nowhere near as much as usual. Her wardrobes are largely empty and all her trinkets and memorabilia have gone. When her father was in the Capitol, he sold a great many of her belongings to eager Capitol citizens. Eponine's room does sport a rather large rug, concealing the spot where she murdered her father.

Right now, Eponine is not living in D3. Jessica has chucked her out, which means that there will be at least a little piece from her tears and her occasional sleep-shouts. It also means that many belongings have mysteriously stopped disappearing.

[silberfuchs]

Albert isn't usually even in District 3 unless he needs to talk to someone or if he's kicked out of 2 for whatever reason (events, making Jet mad, etc). When he is, he's fairly conscientious and meticulous. He's used to living alone and he likes things neat, so he tends to cook his own meals whenever he can get away with it instead of taking advantage of the ridiculously opulent meals the kitchen system spits out. He washes all dishes and cooking utensils after using them and even replaces chairs to where they were at tables when he gets up. He never takes anyone else's food and labels his own if he has leftovers. If he doesn't label it, then he doesn't care if someone takes it.

He's an early riser and so sometimes he can be heard or even caught knocking around at 5:30 or so making breakfast before heading down to the gym. His gym clothes are a little... tight. And the shorts definitely earn their name. (Blame his stylist. Or don't. What can I say, he's European). He makes a conscious effort not to be at all loud until at least 10, and he's not a very boisterous person to begin with.

When he's around, he goes out of his way to greet roommates or to offer them some of whatever he happens to be making, usually coffee or tea, but if you want some breakfast or something, feel free to ask. He's an average cook.

All that said, first thing in the morning before coffee he's a downright ornery beast so I wouldn't suggest talking to him until he's had at least one cup.

DISTRICT 4

[etcircenses]

[ka_sera_sera]

Roland's a pretty good roomate. Keeps to himself mostly, but tends to hang out in the common room and eavesdrop on conversations when he wants some company. He might make amused or derisive noises at other people's conversations but won't verbally involve himself in what other people are doing unless he's invited to.

When he first arrived he might have watched people operate the kitchen equipment for a while, and was probably fairly obvious about the staring. Now that he knows, he usually only makes very simple meals, and then only for himself. Roland tries not to take food that others have obviously reserved for themselves, but he may have stolen someone's soda once or twice because some temptations shouldn't be resisted.

He always cleans up after himself and tends to find himself cleaning up after others, too, though occasionally he'll pause, realize what he's doing, and make disgruntled faces. But he always needs something to keep him busy, so he probably ends up cleaning up after everyone even when he'd rather not. He doesn't complain about doing so, because he doesn't feel like it's something that 'has' to be done. Just something he wants to do.

His room is pretty sparse, bed always made. There are occasionally bits of string and needles lying around that he's been pickpocketing from his stylist, but the only thing of note in Roland's bedroom is a picture of Cuthbert lying face-down on the nightstand.

He's been keeping to himself and to his own room a little more lately, but occasionally he'll plop his blanket-wrapped self onto a couch just in case anyone's around and try not to cough on anyone. Or, depending on how many district 4 people are still in the arena, he'll hang there by himself just because it feels a little less isolated.

Soon, I think, he'll be teaching himself to knit or something, and he may start making things that he's heard his suitemates talking about needing or wanting and just grunting and handing it to them whenever they're both around. Possibly non-suitemate tributes too if he gets too bored and anyone makes a specific request to him. Tell me if you want your character to get some clumsily knitted socks or a scarf or whatever.

Rokk Krinn

[oredinary_hero]

Rokk is a pretty decent roomie to have for the most part. He cleans up after himself, he doesn't leave stuff lying around or make a lot of noise and won't touch anything that's not his. He's also not there much, mostly just stopping by the suites to eat and sleep although when he is there he tends to be in one of the common areas, watching the Games or something on the TV or reading or watching what his roommates are up to. He's an early riser and spends a lot of his time in the training centre or out in the city.

If anyone bothers to look in his room they'll get a lecture about privacy if they get caught but also see it's pretty bare. Virtually no personal possessions and it's kept very neat. He eats ridiculously healthy, vegan food and will make disparaging remarks and lecture people about eating or preparing meat or any kind of animal products or sugary foods because ew! He has fairly basic cooking skills and only ever makes enough for himself and is very careful not to waste anything. He'll also tell people off if he catches them throwing away food that's not spoilt or generally being wasteful in other ways.

He doesn't go out of his way to be friendly with his roomates but if they try to strike up a conversation he'll be generally civil. Not particularly nice as he doesn't actually want people to like him but he mostly won't insult people. He likes to keep track of who comes and goes from the suite and may occasionally grill people he doesn't know if they just barge in.

And, in case I didn't mention it already, if someone takes something of his or doesn't clean up after themselves or just does something he disapproves of he will question everyone till he tracks down the culprit and lectures them. And keeps lecturing until they fix it/agree never to do it again/find a way to escape. Assuming they can get away because he will get in their face and bar their way and keep lecturing. It doesn't matter if you're older than him or could throw him across the room one handed, he will still lecture you like he's your dad. It's pretty lucky for everyone he's depowered in this respect as otherwise he has a tendency to drag people around whenever suits him so there's no escape when he starts in. Actually it's pretty obvious he's used to having some kind of power as he'll occasionally just wave his hands about and then get grumpy when nothing happens.

DISTRICT 5

[etcircenses]

Re: DISTRICT 5

[celebrityskinned]

For the most part, Venus isn't the worst roommate you could have. She's relatively quiet, friendly and polite. She has her routines where she goes to the gym for the first part of the morning, spends her afternoons on the couch reading, and goes out for dinner or socializing at night. Ever since she and Enjolras started dating she and him can occasionally be seen slinking into each others' rooms or reading side by side on the couch, sometimes late into the night, and occasionally falling asleep on each other with some book between them covered in highlighter and annotations.

She sings "Good Morning Sunshine" to the coffee maker every morning, occasionally trying and butchering the rap part. She also sings "Good Night Love" to the toaster after her nightly cinnamon toast. She makes enough coffee for everyone in the mornings, and she gets up early, but she doesn't share her cinnamon toast.

She takes naps on the couch in the living room and gets really cranky if she's woken up. They are very dainty, delicate naps, which makes the fact that you can occasionally hear disgusting, drooly snoring from her bedroom sort of strange. Her room is artfully messy and very hygienic.

She leaves trashy magazines all over the living room and rips pages out when they have outfits she likes. This is her greatest vice.

In addition to sugar, of which she consumes probably too much, she eats lots of 'hollywood diet' food like celery and egg whites. She puts a bunch of yogurt in the fridge and leaves DO NOT EAT notes on it. She has filled a section of one of the drawers with packets of Splenda.

She believes in showing appreciation for people, so she gets the Avoxes gifts for Thanksgiving and Christmas. At Christmas, everyone in the District at the time got some dumb gift like lotion and a pair of earplugs.

Shepard

[earthborn]

Ever morning, at five in the morning, Shepard goes for a run, then comes back to share breakfast with Kankri before leaving again. Every morning she returns from her workout/training sessions, clears the crap Initiate has piled/taped/glued/whatever across her door and spends part of the day watching arena footage.

And eating food that she did not purchase.

Honestly, Shepard probably mostly just buys non-perishables and stores them in her room. She doesn't really contribute to the communal D5 kitchenette any more than necessary to ensure that coffee never runs out. Other than her personal foodstuffs, her room remains, more than a year later, almost totally bog-standard uncustomized. Save for the closet full of clothes and the stacks of granola and trail-mix boxes, you'd think nobody lived here.

Also she needs to learn not to just wear an udnershirt around all the time. Or watch people's death scenes on the TV in the common area. Or get in eleven-at-night screaming arguments with Initiate.

DISTRICT 6

[etcircenses]

Clementine

[smarterthanthem]

Her worst habit is hoarding food (and other supplies(. Ever find food in an unexpected place? Find that thing you really, really wanted to eat in the fridge has vanished? Clem probably stowed it somewhere in case of impending destruction of civilisation. Instincts to gather and carry food because who knows when you'll find more is hard to shake off.

Secondly she has a tendency to 'ghost' in and out of the suite. Like suddenly she'll be there and you'll have no idea where she came from and if you startle she'll look at you like 'what?'. You'll also probably find her up at odd hours from being unable to sleep the whole night through, she also won't sleep unless she knows someone else generally trustworthy is in the apartment to keep watch.

Otherwise Clem is a pretty okay roommate! She cleans up after herself, is generally friendly and willing to talk, she can be a little morbid but has a snarky sense of humour to accompany it.

And don't touch her hat, swear to God, you guys >:|

DISTRICT 7

Herp Derp the Viking

[ruffntumblenut]

You ever lived with a viking before?

First off she sleeps in late because now she can. She doesn't have chores to do, she doesn't have to worry about freezing to death if the fire goes out or being eaten by dragons so she'll snore her way through the morning till hunger drags her out of bed to breakfast.

She eats like she's going off to war. Anything in arms reach she will shove into her face hole, including if it's on your plate. Manners are not high on a vikings priority list. To that matter she doesn't take care of herself physically so if it wasn't for the stylists constantly hounding her she'd probably smell sweaty and unkempt all the time.

Whenever the stylists foolishly try to do something with her hair she'll spend hours if necessary undoing it and braiding her hair by herself. Because she likes what she likes damnit.

She's also a total pack rat. Expect to catch her dragging home some piece of garbage that she found like a ratty old chair, a file cabinet, a plate with a tributes face on it.

She likes to jump on the sofa, or dive onto it from other furniture. And if/when she discovers rock and heavy metal music she'll be playing it loudly through the TV till people wrestle the remote away from her. Too bad all the really good Rock and metal music is too subversive and the Capitol probably censors it

She likes to explore so try not to be too surprised if you find her snooping around your room. Just throw her out as unceremoniously as you like.

Finally, she loves to break things. Things that shatter, things that burst, things that might catch on fire or best of all things that explode! The Peacekeepers have probably started searching her room more regularly to make sure she doesn't have any matches or other dangerous materials on hand given her love of destruction.

DISTRICT 8

[etcircenses]

ASSBUTT

[aintyourdad]

Joel is actually a pretty decent roomie in the sense that he keeps to himself, doesn't make messes in the common area (and if he does he cleans them up promptly), doesn't stick his nose in other people's business, etc. If someone asks him too many questions, he might get snappy, but as long as he's left alone he's generally fine!

Ellie spends a metric fuckton of time with him, so it's safe to assume if your character is in D8 they have probably seen Ellie around. She maybe doesn't spend as much time with him as she did before Riley showed up, but I imagine she still hangs around quite a bit and at least once in a while spends the night with him in his room (they traveled together for a long time and generally feel safest in each other's presence, yay codependence!).

He cooks fairly frequently, and he will share his food with just about anyone as long as they don't bug him with stupid questions or whatever. He's especially fond of big breakfasts, which he makes for Ellie and the gaggle of other kids he's sort of adopted. Omelets, waffles, all kinds of stuff. He also grills burgers and steaks and things like that. No, he will not cook for a vegetarian or any other special dietary things. You don't like what he makes, you can make your own. Aside from the cooking, though, he doesn't spend too much time in the common areas.

Anyone who actually gets a glance inside his room will see that it is sparsely decorated - probably just a couple of things that Ellie gave him sitting around. The bed probably doesn't look slept in, because he doesn't sleep in it much, favoring a nest on the floor instead. He also pretty much permanently has the digital window control things set to a forest setting, with little foresty outdoor noises. He's also got a lot of nonperishable food stashed in his room.

This crazy ass bitch

[revvinguptheharley]

Harley likes to start her days very late, sleeping in and often snoring (Except on Saturday, she'll wake up early for the cartoons)

She'll wander around in her underpants and a T-shirt or some goofy looking PJs much like the kind being worn in the museum, and eat herself a nice big sugary breakfast.

She likes to watch trashy TV shows, soap operas, shows dedicated to who's dating who in the capitol, stupid game shows and her favorite, cartoons. She will also yell at the screen and if it's during an arena she's often glued to the TV watching her friends.

Sometimes she will just spontaneously make a mess. Either in a fit of arts and crafts, or for the pure fun of watching things splatter and shatter. She has a very poor sense of volume and it's entirely likely her loud chatter, laughter and squealing has woken someone up more then once.

Also, Bipolar is a thing. Her emotions run extremely hot and switch quickly so she could be delighted to see you and give you a hug the minute you come through the door, or curled up on the floor under the table with a rain cloud over head.

She's also spontaneously generous. Some days you may come home and she'll just thrust something into your hands she bought because she thought you might like it.

All and all, living with Harley is like living with a bipolar, sociopathic, Ditzy, flirty child. Who knows what might happen tomorrow?

Lately she's been wearing her Doctor's coat more and if anyone is foolish enough to lay down on the sofa she'll sit near them and try to give them a psychiatric evaluation.

Big dumb rock baby

[paidinbeer]

He sleeps in late, snoring like a chain saw and drooling on himself. Often stinking of booze or other boy related smells. I'm not sure if Howard still sneaks into his room while he's asleep. They've had their ups and downs lately.

He eats alot and drinks even more, never puts away his dishes or cups when he's done. If he's drinking he may even just throw the cups/cans/bottles aside expecting the Avox's to take care of it. He also never picks up his laundry or cleans his room. The Avox's basically fill the roll of his mother or Howard when it comes to picking up after him.

More then once you may have come into the bathroom after Orc to find the mirrors broken.

Sometimes he can be heard in his room sobbing...he's not subtle about it.

He doesn't talk much, more like grunts, growls and stares. Lately he's been a bit more at peace and his expressions are softer. Especially if he's using his headphones and listening to music.

DISTRICT 11

[etcircenses]

Wesker

[president_evil]

If you can get past the creep factor, Wesker's actually a great roommate. Generally keeps to himself, quiet, and clean. Like, really clean. The door to his room is usually closed, but if you get a glance in you might think nobody lived there if you didn't know better.

Besides the Avoxs going through as they do, Wesker, one a week, cleans from top to bottom. A full wipe down, moving everything and putting it back exactly where it was. Not there's all that much to move, the only personal touches are the desk he bought himself, the perpetual vase of flowers in the corner and, oh yeah, the giant fucking dragon's head throne behind the desk.

He doesn't seem to sleep much, up at all hours, but he's quiet about it. The most you might hear is the sound of him pacing around his room, or soft sounds of movement from the common area/kitchen. Of course, that does mean you are liable from time-to-time to get up in the middle of the night for a snack/bathroom run/what have you, and come face to face with him out of nowhere in the dark.

He tends to take his meals privately, but on the occasion that he doesn't, besides your typical food stuffs (and the obscenely raw meats), he's provided a strange fleshy substance from the Capitol.

Have fun trying not to think about what it could be.

Depressing little brat.

[justoutrunyou]

As far as room mates go, Sandy's not so bad. She puts her dishes in the sink, she doesn't make loud noises unless she's having fun with Duck and she does her best to stay out of peoples way.

The Duck was Pruna's pet duck, but now that Pruna has been sent home it's in Sandy's care and sits on the table helping itself to food when Sandy's not around. It also likes to play in sinks, showers and the toilet, so when you walk into the bathroom and find a baby duck swimming in the loo please be considerate and just put it in the shower.

She loves to mix and match different fruit juices with different sodas, and often eats more sweets then she should because...well she is still a kid.

She takes extra long showers, mostly appreciating the sound it makes because it reminds her of home. Also never ending hot water. That's a nice thing.

Her room sometimes smells like paint because she is always repainting her walls and ceiling. Sometimes it's nice things like landscapes or her friends. Often times it's monsters and horrible things that happened in the arenas. This is how she copes.

She drinks a special drugged Tea that Effie gave her every night so as the evening wears on she usually conks out early unless she's doing something and is too involved to take her tea.

Since Pruna vanished Sandy has had trouble sleeping even with the tea. Perhaps she's simply built up an immunity. She can sometimes be found sitting in the common area in the wee hours of the morning with Pruna's pet duck watching garbage TV while wrapped in blankets.
