AND THEN THEY WERE ROOMMATES



Dusty, crammed, stale — you've hit the real estate jackpot with your recent abode. And you're even #blessed with roommates.

o1. Post a top level with some of your character's quirky, funny, sad or standout domestic habits everyone can enjoy. ( "That fourth lizard tail's a bit awkward." "They're always stealing everyone's fancy conditioner." "That guy, watching you sleep." )

o2. Tag around with your character's IC reactions: questions, passive aggressive post-its, gentle encouragements to stop watering that plant, wholesome suggestions, etc.

o3. Threads can stay game canon — break the ice on some new CR. Why not?

What is that instrument called?

[You know, since the music made her leave her bed to find its source.]

Little Sister!!!

[balancedwire]

My instrument, meimei, is a bamboo xiao.

She has missed him

[reparo]

[Coming over to sit down near him. Knees against chest, perched like a bird. As you do.]

Do you use it to calm the spirits, or just because you like music?

He has missed her

[balancedwire]

[ He gives her a soft smile. ]

I use to because I like music. My music would not calm the spirits.

Soft chosen family hour

[reparo]

[Perks up at that.]

Play something again, then?

Very much so

[balancedwire]

[ He would, as it were, do anything for family. Which is why he leans back, puts his xiao to his lips, and starts playing. ]

[reparo]

[She enjoys that, very much. It may not be meant for calming spirits, but music does have the effect of soothing her.

(The tent in the middle of nowhere, on the run, the wireless radio on, a breather from the terrible weight of that horcrux.)

She is smiling softly by the end.]

That's wonderful. Do you know how to play anything? If I hum something, would you be able to play it?

[balancedwire]

[ Music was something that could soothe the soul. Something that a person could enjoy, especially if they were tense.

He does rest his hands in his lap and leans back a bit where he's sitting. ]

I do not know anything from your world or those around me. Though, I could try to play whatever you hum.

[reparo]

Okay, let's try it then. [It beats trying to sleep, and it's nice to be around Xie Yun anyway.

So she starts humming the first song that springs to mind. Which happens to be a slower version of this.]

[balancedwire]

[ He was willing to try anything once. Whether he got it right or not was a whole other story. Especially when some of these songs were ones that he didn't know.

So, he listens to the song that she's humming before raising his xiao to his lips but doesn't play just yet, just listens to her. Once he's sure he has the tune he moves to play it on his xiao. ]
