Mod Post: Bed & Board & Shenanigans

[blackmetalkittens]

As you know, we are opening in 2 days time (or one day, depending on when you see this sneaky late-night post of mine. After the dust settles and the shock wears off, people are likely to need some quiet time, and rest.

So, for the first few nights, all the 'guests' at the Enterprise will be quartered on deck 7, sections 1 to 4. The quarters there are double suites, with private sleeping areas sharing a common, central bathroom. Characters will be assigned randomly to rooms, with the exception of special cases, such as in-game/on-board married couples and children and their guardians.

Initially, they will be "gently confined", as in, not allowed to wander the ship; from their quarters they can take the lifts to deck 10, and the lounge; they are strangers, after all, and Mr. Worf wants everybody where he can keep an eye on them. As people get acquainted with the crew, win their trust and start to be seen as regular guests, exceptions will be made and the newcomers will get to see the wonders of a Galaxy-class Federation cruiser openly and up close.

We will make a random draw for roommate arrangements, beyond the special cases listed, and as time goes by and people get to know each other, room transfers will be allowed if in-character incompatibilities reach a disruptive level in the crew's opinion. Meanwhile, some "odd couples" scenes are sure to crop up, and hopefully be fun for all involved.

Now you gentle folk need to comment with your character, if there are any special circumstances to be excused from random roommate assignment; we will tabulate the results once everyone's been thrown in and do another post letting everyone know who they've been paired up with as a roommate and where they'll be moving together.

Amy will need a room, please! And she doesn't have any special requirements, so random lottery works just fine.

[ikissdhimbck]

No special requirements for Kate, either. So long as nobody minds pet cats at some point in the future? She can keep them in her part of the room, though. ^__^

[stark_spangled]

A room for Steve Rogers, please. No special requirements. Having a roommate should be good for him.

[never_felt_better]

John's locked and loaded to be the worst roommate ever! I kid, I kid. He may be a little messy (and a little crazy), but he totally needs a roomie.

[morphitudinous]

Billy's fine with a random roommate! They'll just have to shut him up, most likely, because otherwise he's bound to seek intellectual stimulation by asking questions.

[scarred_grin]

Loki and Sigyn will be sharing a room.

If anybody realllllllly wants to room with them, they can, but... yeah.

[pyrrha_pandora]

Pyrrha wouldn't mind a random roommate, long as they're okay with having a toddler around. He's well-behaved, pretty quiet, turns into a fox sometimes. Totally normal kid.

[mirabile_mireille]

Mireille could use a roommate. She's easy to get along with, doesn't actually sleep, loves to clean.

[i_got_vision]

Butch has no special requirements. Well, it helps if his roommate doesn't mind somebody who likes to talk. A lot.

[do_your_duty]

One roommate please. No special requests. Lottery is welcome.

Early apologies now if Aeryn turns out to be the neatest, least friendly, roommate ever.

[bet_on_the_river]

Booker needs a roommate too. He can keep things tidy; the army taught him that.

[just_a_chemical]

Eleanor would also like a roommate.

She builds primitive robots. They're like pets, they follow her around. Consider yourself warned.

[queenofmay]

Marian could definitely use a roommate. Lottery, as no requirements needed.
(Unless Kate or Caspian feels a need to steal her, so as to keep her within watching.)


She's keeps things mostly clean, loves to drink tea, and gets along with mostly everyone.

[awol_redranger]

Andros has no special requirements, besides the fact that he's an ass.

[heartofasun]

Trance is fine with a random roommate, although she only sleeps for like 30 minutes or so. She probably actually doesn't need a room at all :)

[zerocharliexray]

Zinda is more than happy to have a roommate! Lottery's just fine.

[from_the_outside]

Sharon would prefer a roommate from SHIELD, but would work with just about anyone. She also needs a room near Steve Rogers, as per her mission guidelines.

[stark_spangled]

All the unamused faces.

[therighttime]

Seconded.

[jack_f_twist]

I apologize in advance for whoever gets this doofus. Lottery's fine!

[the_seafarer]

Caspian would of course prefer the company of someone he knows, but he's more than happy to share space with anyone.

[decideformyself]

Good luck to whoever gets Philip if they don't want to be kept up all hours of the night by random bizarre research binges. No special accommodations needed!

[splendid_roman]

Ian would prefer to share with another man.

[tanteiotaku]

Shotaro is going to be a terrible roommate oh god.

But yeah, random works. Philip you traitor!!!

[therighttime]

No special requirements for Steph Rogers! Forced interaction would be good for her right about now.

[rebel_hero]

No special circumstances for Micah, unless the fact that he's fourteen counts, random is fine!

[fallaces_sunt]

Natasha would generally prefer a female roommate (unless it's her bestie Clint), but no other special considerations.

[tased_lightning]

Darcy Lewis (tased_lightning) would prefer a female roommate! She's also okay with tiny pre-teen/young teen boys, if any exist, but that's just because she has little brothers and lives to mock.

Clint Barton (watchword_competence) has no preferences, but I'd prefer he not be paired with telepaths/similar (if we have any) to tamp down on potential messiness.
(Depending on in-game situations [threads, so forth], Clint will probably migrate at some point -- in the next 1-6 months -- to sleeping in Natasha's room, because he just feels safer over there. I would love the chance to thread roommate stuff with other people, though!)

[abyssum_invocat]

Sinthia needs a room! As she's a child, I have no idea what special measures should be taken but I'm pretty sure she's not going to harass anyone she's paired with.

[i_candozat]

Also Chekov will need a room! And random lottery works perfectly for him!

[shut_up_dammit]

Oh, Bones needs a room. That might be important. Or he could just sleep with Picard I mean what.

[immafrog]

Adam needs a room. Not sure if he needs a specific roomier? So random is fine.

OMG can it be Bones? Make it harder to keep being a Ranger a secret 8D
