6/3 near APPRASSAGE APARTMENTS

ignoring all this crazy shit for a minute: i'm looking for new roommates for my 3 bed/1 bath in the apprassage apartment complex. shared kitchen/common area, 3rd floor. male/18+ preferred.

i didn't do this last time, but i'm laying down some other important ground rules right out of the gate.
- no live birds indoors
- no dead birds indoors either
- no skulls
- no occult objects
- no cursed tomes
- no cursed mummies
- no cursed anything curses aren't fucking real
- no sacrificial knives
- no seances at all hours of the night
- no vials of fake (?) blood in the fridge
- or in the bathroom cabinets
- or just sitting around in the common area??
- basically just no vials of fake (?) blood at all, okay? it's creepy and if i trip on one that's basically my entire morning.
- see above pic for further restrictions

hit me up if you're interested or got any questions about utilities or rent or what counts as an occult object.

does anyone want a fake (?) mummy?

How is Fake a ? when it comes to a mummy? Just how large is this fake (?) Mummy?

my roommate and i didn't talk a lot so i can't verify anything.

it's about the size of a

toddler, i guess/df

that made it sound worse. it's 4 ft. i should have said its 4 ft.

That made it sound incredibly worse. I do not think it could possibly be real. Child mummies are too expensive and precious, after all. There is no way that could possibly be real, is there?

And toddlers are not 4' tall. How many toddlers do you know?

if they're really precious, he probably would have taken it, right... so, maybe a 25% chance it's real.

i don't know any toddlers.

That much is obvious. How could he possibly have simply taken it? They're under lock and key at museums or in the middle of crypts in the Egyptian desert.

You clearly had a madman for a roommate, or a very big occult fan.

like i said, we didn't really talk. should i have a priest look at his room or something? i'm not the superstitious type, but i don't want the landlord billing me for residual haunting.

i'm trying to be more discerning this time.

You could speak with one of the Fathers, if you are deeply concerned, but most of that looked like something you would buy in New Orleans, not real. Just like props at a heavy metal concert.

They can't bill you for that. It's not provable. And I don't think you could possibly do worse.

[Well, then again, she had ... like 20 knives around her apartment, so who was she to talk?]

[FEELS JUDGED... DEFENDS HIMSELF]

it was my first roommate. i didn't know what to look for. like signs of tending to celebrate halloween all year round.

[mebbe a little. She could be petty.]

We live and learn. But really I think it should be more thorough than just "Not crazy." Do you really want a roommate you can just ignore all the time?

not really. i was really close with my roommates in boarding school.

[but he figured that was maybe???? not very adult??? baby's first apartment experience]

it'd be nice to meet someone i could really enjoy spending time around the apartment with, i guess. but it doesn't seem practical to be too picky. i gotta pay rent.

Practicality is a real thing, but perhaps mix the two. Someone you can at least tolerate, who likes some of the same things? That way you are not faced, let us say, a weapon nut who oils their mace every tuesday in their underwear and goes to every renaissance faire.

I've heard several horror stories since finding the internet.

that actually sounds worse than my occult fanatic.

how would you do it, then?

It probably would be. Interview the people interested and ask them what they want in a roommate, how loud they play their music and what sort they like, their interests, if they're willing to share in the chores. Things like that.

If you're not careful, they might be a country music fan, after all. They're the worst. I will never understand the appeal of that genre.

as long as it's not undead chanting rituals or enka, i think i wouldn't mind so much.

You say that now. Regardless, I think or I hope you have the right idea now. I would offer, but I fail two of your tests, so I think I will continue to enjoy my little apartment alone.

there's a guy a few comments down looking for a place to live.

Wonderful. I hope they end up being a good choice in that case, or that you find someone soon afterwards.

yeah... thanks for the advice. it's nice to know this app can be used for something other than creepy big brother shit.

It's a wonderful way to make new friends, actually. You just have to ignore Jim, and be willing to trust a little faster tha most would.

you sound like you have some experience.

Well, I've been dealing with it since January. Making new friends was a given with this much time, after all.

i don't think it's definitely given. you have to be open to it, like you said.

shit. i'm struggling at it even in uni, and real life should be about 10x easier, right.

True, it isn't actually automatic, but what we're going through is sort of helpful for forcing you to find someone, anyone you can trust. At least around the University there's a few of us, so you aren't completely alone.

you're at RU?
