Hope this isn't stepping on toes... >.>

Sort-of inspired by a recent DE:

Your pups are all roomies now. They share a house, or an apartment, or a small spaceship-- anywhere they'd be dealing with each other constantly. How are the chores divided up? Who absolutely refuses to be stuck in the same room with who? What do they fight about? Who hogs the TV? Who just moved in, and what are your other pups' reactions to the newcomer?

Alternately, if you only have one pup, describe their dream- and nightmare-roommates.

Well, Mia's married, so the only choice she wants to make about who's in her bedroom is Draco, though he's off in a different mind. The boys would alternate on who shares a room with who but Lucas and Scorpius Laike would get along the best when it comes to their time to share. Nellie is not allowed to share a room with anyone due to her diet.

Chorewise, Mia takes up general child care as well as general cleaning and cooking duties that involve sharp things. Nellie can handle the rest of the cooking. Everyone is responsible for their own cleanliness to a degree. (At the ages they are in my mind, all the kids should be able to handle taking care of their own clothes and such.) Since Lucas has experience living on his own, he'd probably be the most responsible and head up cleaning the house itself. He'd also probably be in charge of any and all pets.

Out of all of my pups, Lucas is the newest as well as the woobiest. The kids can't imagine what it was like for him to go through what he did, so everyone in the house is considerably nice to him.

This is actually quite fun to imagine!

After initial protests at being stuck with each other, I guess my charries would get on tolerably well on a day-to-day basis.

Margolotta would be the one to organise and make sure things happen, to call everybody together and say 'Let's get cleaning now!', and to solve tricky problems. She'd be the one leading the forces from the front, with a hoover or leaf-blower (in case of garden work; for some reason I see them sharing a house with garden). She'd occasionally catch flak for being bossy ('Who appointed you mother here, huh??') or interfering, but all in all, she knows how to work with people to make them all work together to have the house clean and people fed. Being a vampire and hence canonically a bit OCD, she'd be the one to do odd little jobs like cleaning out the fridge and throwing away everything that wasn't A-okay any more, or defragging the spice rack, carefully sorting crockery and cutlery by pattern, or collecting every last set of salt-and-pepper in the house and making sure they're filled, with a few grains of rice in the salt to keep it from getting damp and sticky. Oh, and she'd right any slightly crooked picture frames.

Teja would hate having to do menial chores and 'women's work' and would probably be the cause for a really big fight with everybody chiming in and really rude words used when he actually refuses to do something. His solution to a problem of that kind would be to throw resources at it, like accepting extra commissions for well-paying but boring work and then buy a dishwasher, a tumble-dryer, a roomba and things like that from his own money, and have the gadget installed with great righteousness, along the lines of 'Nobody is going to wash dishes here ever again, so do not bother me with it from now on!' That said, he's quite experienced and competent at keeping money together and making sure a large number of people have the right resources, so he would be quite useful at conscientiously keeping books on shared funds and getting basic groceries. The house would never run out of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, flour, toilet paper and detergent. Also, all the kitchen knives would always be sharp and well cared for. In summer, he'd surprise people by being quite useful at barbecues, and being inventive about preparing things over an open fire in the garden -- but never call that cooking!

Urquhart, on the other hand, would probably take over quite a lot of the cooking for the meals people do eat together, and bake bread and the like for everybody to use when they need, and make sure there's always fresh fruit and chocolate available for anybody who wants them. If they are anywhere near the open countryside, Urquhart would be the one to occasionally bring home fresh fish or waterfowl, permit-schmermit. He'd have fights with Teja about a great variety of issues, from the personal morals of housemates to the state of the men's bathroom, and Margolotta would have to interfere on occasion.

Tower wouldn't be very useful on a day-to-day basis, as his specialities are more on the destructive and clutter-clearing kind. He'll be useful in the winter shoveling snow, he'll be the one to strip old wallpaper when somebody is redoing their room, and will throw out everything while Margolotta and Teja are still discussing how to fix what they have. Rely on him for recycling and garbage disposal, though. Occasionally, however, he'd get into fights with Urquhart about who sneakily finished off a certain bottle of scotch.

Pt. 2 -- sorry got carried away

[personal profile] yakalskovich 2011-01-08 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sirona is the kind of person who is quite content to sprawl on the sofa with her computer, with bits of aluminium in her hair, while everybody else does their chores. She'll sometimes be told to get up and do something, and will try to think her way out of any chore that others do with brute force as for it to be over. She whole-heartedly supports Teja's policy of gadgets instead of chores, and will add bizarre things like electric egg-boilers and yoghurt-makers, and repurpose some first-generation iPhone with a custom-made app as a fridge inventory, just because she can. She'll be surprisingly useful for small things, or the sort of job where you change a small thing for a great effect. She'll help people with last-minute style decisions about themselves and their rooms when they have dates, or lavish an afternoon's attention on somebody's hair. She can be surprisingly considerate in oddly personal ways (at the end of her canon, she makes sure everybody she used for her project is compensated by having their true heart's desire for happily ever after), so she might be the one to know when exactly to leave a breakfast tray for three at Urquahrt's door with a surreptitious knock, and cycle to the shop to get bread rolls and croissants for everybody's breakfast rather than make him bake.

The secret to getting Bridgette to do chores would be praising her for being grown-up, reliable, and responsible beyond her years. Expect her to empty the dishwater before she goes out to play, standing on a chair to sort crockery and glasses into the high cabinets, willow pattern with willow pattern, white with white, and the Chinese bowls all by themselves, as Margolotta likes it, and the wine glasses hung up by their stems in their own cabinet. She can pair socks (canonically so!), and will like to help the grownups if she can learn cool things. She likes Teja's and Sirona's gadgets because it's cooler to build or buy a machine than do things yourself. Being a kid, she's a bit of a chore herself, and everybody will help her with her homework, make sure that is done, make sure she has breakfast and is clean, and she gets to school and back.

Donovan, finally, is the kind of housemate who does chores unasked because he wants things clean, then later complain because nobody helped him. He'd constantly remind people that he's vegetarian so needs some meat-less option for meals, and can Urquhart please use coconut oil instead of lard so he can eat that, too? He'll do quite a lot of casual work around the house, clean the bathroom while Urquhart and Teja are still arguing, but feel constantly under-appreciated for what he does. Sirona will sometimes think of things that make him feel especially valued and cared-about, just so he'll keep doing what he does so she won't have to.

KK and Karl would get along all right, but would basically ignore everyone. Karl would keep up the garden/yard/vegetable patch and MAYBE help with meal prep.

KK would bitch at everyone about everything, but do her share of any work.

Bobby would be the slacker, and the others would have to gang up on him to get him to pull his weight. They would also plot his demise every time they found themselves pranked.

Mother Nature would never be home, and when she was, everyone would be cranky and feel like crap. She would keep Karl as a pet.

Mallory would pick up everyone's slack and make sure things got done by browbeating who she could and doing things that the others can't or won't. She would treat Bobby like a little child and constantly give him directions for what she wanted him to do, redirecting him when he got distracted. She and KK would either be good friends or want to kill each other.

Rapunzel? Hmmm. She's be looking for a place of her own or move in with her boyfriend! She's generally nice, but CAN be annoyed if pressed.

Oh dear.

Well, Illyria stands around and shouts orders, and then when the others do everything wrong, she gets up and does it herself. (Never mind that almost every colossal mess in the place is a result of her destructive rampages!)

Bella cooks for everyone and tries to talk Wanderer out of hiding during the above rampages. She also occasionally asks a lot of inappropriate questions of the non-humans and badgers Illyria about her disapproval of vampires.

Wanderer hides a lot, but occasionally comes out and makes observations on the humans which Illyria usually scoffs at. When things are calm, the two non-humans get into interesting philosophical conversations about the nature of humanity, during which Bella has gotten very tired of reminding them that she's RIGHT HERE, GEEZ.

Claire and Wanderer talk science and medical stuff and occasionally Claire pokes Wanderer for details about the whole body-stealing thing and whether or not she feels bad about it. She knows better than to poke Illyria about the above. Claire also makes sure Bella's keeping up with her homework and patches her up when she's come back home after feats of epic clumsiness.

Oh my...

I think my Head Voice Home would make a good reality TV show.

They'd have to have a house as I've got so many. The girls (Jessica Drew, Val von Doom, Barbie and Thalia) would end up living on the second floor and the boys (Ben Grimm, Santo, Jenks, Usagi, Artemus Gordon) would be on the bottom. They may have mixed the room up at first but Jenks and Santo have serious issues with boundaries.

Chores would be a source of friction as the boys (and Thalia and Val to be honest) would likely wait until cleaning was an issue or they were told to clean. Cooking would be Ben's purview and he would fight anyone who tried to take it away. Dishes would alternate between everyone but Jenks as he's too small to really do them.

Jenks would live out in the garden but would go where ever he liked in the house with no thought to privacy. It's a good thing Val has learned basic wards.

Val and Artemus would fight over time to use the lab up in the attic.

Ben would also be the one to collect money for everyone's rent, food and utilities.

Barbie would try to adopt any stray animal that came along. Eventually she got a kennel in the back yard. Jenks still resents this as it takes away garden space.

Jessica does her best to avoid Jenks and Santo as they seem to have huge crushes on her.

Barbie would try her best to be BFFs with Jessica and Thalia but end up rebuffed most often. She and Val though would get along fabulously.

Thalia loves fencing with Jenks as fighting someone so much smaller than you who can fly is one heck of a challenge. Jenks doesn't mind giving up the garden space for sparing. Thalia would enjoy fighting everyone actually.

Santo would convince himself that all the girls secretly had crushes on him, would get along with Ben mostly and would get along smashingly with Jenks. Chances are Ben, Santo and Jenks would get into pranking each other.

Well counting my pups from Mixed Muses... AHAHHAA my brain just exploded at the thought of Jack Bauer, Severus Snape, Mac Tayor and Eddie Arlette sharing a house.

Jack, Mac and Snape would probably get along fairly well, either by having similar dispositions or just leaving each other alone. Though I can see the two Yanks getting kind of pissed at some of the smells/explosions coming from Snape's in-house potions lab. :D

Eddie, however...I can see Mac and Jack getting somewhat irritated at him for stuff like leaving things around the house (though I think Eddie wouldn't be too bad if they didn't make a big deal about it--he's a bigger arse when he knows it bothers someone and he likes getting a rise out of them), but I can see his chipper demeanour driving Snape up the wall.

I slept so nice and long today and I think I might go and spend a gift card later.

Let's see Demeter and Jane would be in charge of things being cleaned. They would also do the cooking, Demeter the majority so that Jane has time to write. Jane loses her temper at least weekly at Moist and one of the other boys for just being foolish.

Will, William and Sameth would happily share in the chores, they have practice doing it. William and Sameth would share a room with Will nearby. They all get along pretty well but sometimes Will talks to Sameth about what duty.

Moist would be the housemate who comes in at all hours, will "forget" to do things then try and make up for it by buying pizza and beer for the whole house.

Tumnus is quiet and since he's working on his book, gets forgotten sometimes because he doesn't speak up. The Pirate King doesn't really live there, he just appears sometimes.

If there were events where people from both houses went, like barbecue parties with lots of friends, I can so imagine how Urquhart and Dem might secretly compete with their baking and salads; but while Dem might socialise a lot and make sure everybody is happy and has what they want (and Teja doesn't forget to barbecue the halloumi for Donovan), Urquhart would probably retreat to a table with a full plate, good drink, and some of the less reputable people present. Just imagine him, Moist, Tower, and the PK drinking their way through bottles of this and that, and making comments about passing women...
ceitfianna: (pirate ducky)

[personal profile] ceitfianna 2011-01-08 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd go to their parties. It would be so much fun. Oh and Will would sometimes drink the more unsavory crowd for a few drinks but not as long.

He's trying to be a good influence on the younger boys.

Not that they're that much younger than him, but I can see him trying to take care of them.

Oh yes, you do have three teenage boys among your pups; that's a force to be reckoned with. Teja or Demeter would probably sometimes have to put their foot down -- Teja, because he'd probably still share a workshop with Sameth somewhere.

And Bridgette would take her geekiest questions to Tumnus to try and find out about, as he'd be the kind of person to patiently explain at the best of his ability to a small person.
ceitfianna: (James: We areYoung)

[personal profile] ceitfianna 2011-01-08 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, ranges of teenagers in terms of maturity. Technically Will and Jane are on the higher end of it with Sam and William being younger, but none of them are modern teenagers. This is why I love playing them, since they're just fascinating and growing up.

Demeter would be a mix, she sees how Kait helps Sameth grow up more and is pleased that over in Mixed Muses, William's met Maria. So they might put their feet down in different places.

Tumnus would adore her, he loves teaching.
yakalskovich: (Teja)

[personal profile] yakalskovich 2011-01-08 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and oddly, among your teenagers, Teja is the one who feels responsible for Sameth, and Urquhart for William.

I didn't mean about the sexual mores, actually, more about partying a lot and not doing their chores. William is very conscientious that way, but Sameth might need nudging. William, on the other hand, might get into fights he will then have to be told off about. Teja might, however, give the boys quite embarrassing talks about how they totally need to avoid getting their girls pregnant.

Just imagine the odd little finds Bridgette would bring to Tumnus to get his help to research all about!
ceitfianna: (feathered face)

[personal profile] ceitfianna 2011-01-08 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Sameth grew up having to do Perspective, he'd do his chores. Moist would be the one who's never around when things need to be done. And Jane would need to be pulled out of her writing but she does her best to keep things neat.

Will would counsel William about fights too since he has a bad temper that's gotten him into a lot of trouble. Dem would help with those talks and also give suggestions.

I think we need to thread Bridgette and Tumnus at some point.

If we count MM this woulod be an odd house

First off They would all nag Madeline to stop smoking because they would find that's a bad habit for her to have.

Ginny would be unhappy being her roommate being the only two girls in the house and would likely use magic to make a wall to separate the room and purify the air from her smoking.

Butch and Danno would be roommates they have a lot in common and could talk cop talk a lot. and argue over Jersey, Hawaii or Oklahoma is the best place to be.

Rod the music guy would room with Jameson, and drive him both crazy and would make it easier to write. somedays the Guitar practicing would be alright and then others while Rod is writing too and its soft music Jameson would find it quite soothing. Also Jameson and Butch would split the cost of a maid so no one had to clean.

Mozzie would have his own room because he's too weird for any oen to room with

Nicholas would insist that everything be divided equally, but wind up doing it all himself anyway, because no one does it 'right.' This is actually exactly how it worked out while he was living with Travis, which suited him just fine.

Brock would totally be willing to help, and would easily adapt to Nicholas' strange ways of doing some things. He doesn't particularly care how it all gets done, as long as it all gets done.

Rusty would intentionally do things the wrong way to get out of doing it all.

Gus would intentionally break things to get out of doing it all.

Tim would gladly relinquish the chores to Nicholas and Brock, but if he makes a mess, he'll at least clean it up himself.

Teller would be the same way, although he'd also make sure that any messes of Penn's were cleaned up as well.

Ford would intentionally make messes for Nicholas and Brock to clean up. And then laugh about it.

And Mycroft would just sit in a corner and take mental notes on the whole thing, probably calling it some sort of experiment. He probably arranged this whole thing to begin with.

...goodness, who the heck do I still have these days? Um.

Tony Napolitano insists on doing all the cooking, which isn't a bad thing most of the time (Italian home-cooking, and plenty of it) except when his strawberry side's in charge, and then things are likely to be spiked. Al really doesn't appreciate the hallucinogens, and thereafter will give Tony the third degree before he will eat any food in the house. Also, everybody is sick of the noise--the bass-playing at odd hours, and Edie's frequent visits--and Weyland is tired of having his cigarettes stolen, but Tony pulls odd thefts for him so he lets it go. He rooms with Hedwig, who finds him strangely attractive even though he has a girlfriend.

Mark Antony will not do chores. He's too busy drinking, eating, avoiding paying his share of the rent, chasing after Skaði (which Weyland does not like, thank you very much) and bonding with Al over, well, everything. They'd be best friends if Al weren't on the wagon and Antony didn't dislike cigars; they share a room, and frequently go clubbing together (along with Hedwig).

Skaði won't do chores either. She's the dirtiest of the housemates, always tracking mud in and leaving bits of animals around the house and yard; she even uses Joe's toothbrush but he's afraid to say anything to her about it, because he's seen her sparring with Antony and Squirrel, and she's downright terrifying. She will obey her father without question, has a grudging respect for Antony and Al (and to a lesser degree Hedwig), tolerates Butch, and barely even acknowledges the presence of the others (except Squirrel, who is her favorite prey). She gets her own room, because nobody wants to share one with her.

Johnny Hooker and Butch are rarely home; they work very hard for what little money they bring in. They're both well-liked among the housemates, Butch a bit more than Johnny because he's so charismatic. Johnny feels a little superior to Butch on account of how grifters are superior to bank robbers--they don't actually steal, they use people's greed against them--but still, this is Butch Cassidy and there's a lot he can learn from him. They share a room, and get along amazingly well.
winter_arrows: (smile)

[personal profile] winter_arrows 2011-01-09 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Weyland is tired of being the one people go to if they're too afraid to say something to Skaði about her behavior. Srsly, only compared to his daughter would Weyland be the approachable one. But aside from that, he keeps to himself and works in his forge, and as long as nobody bothers him there (or messes with his mechanical woman) he doesn't care what goes on. He pays most of the rent, actually; it's the revenue from that magic self-replicating gold arm-ring he made forever ago. Because of this, he has his own room (well, shares it with his mechanical woman. The housemates don't know she's mechanical, except for Skaði, who finds it extremely weird to live with a robot copy of her mother).

Squirrel is just glad that with Skaði around he's not the dirtiest or fuzziest housemate, and with Antony around he's not the laziest either. He does all the vacuuming though, to make up for shedding so much fur, and spends his time watching daytime TV with Mark Antony and Hedwig. He rooms with Joe, who was the only one willing to put up with him and his many squirrels. It's a pretty good life.

Al's work keeps him pretty busy--he's down at Project Quantum Leap just about every day, and on call when he's not there--so he's not around the house much, which suits his roommate Antony just fine. He gets along with everybody in the house, though it's hard for him sometimes with just how much drinking goes on there. Though his showiest friendship is with Antony, he's taken Joe under his wing; he feels bad for the kid.

Hedwig is the social heart of the house, though she's also the most likely to have drunken fights with her housemates. She's gotten a little more easygoing since putting a band together (she sings, Tony plays bass, Squirrel plays drums, and a revolving-door lineup of her boyfriends play guitar), but it's a good thing her bandmates, as supervillains, are used to being beaten up; she's a perfectionist when it comes to music. She has a tempestuous (and frequently dish-throwing) thing going on with Antony, since he can never get anywhere with Skaði, that the housemates do their best to ignore. Oh, and she waxed Squirrel once. He still hasn't taken his revenge, but he will.

Which leaves poor Joe Bonham; as if the trenches of WWI and then years in a hospital weren't bad enough, now he's got this lot. He's actually not the newest housemate, but compared to the much more outgoing Butch he seems like the new kid. He likes his strictly-human housemates best, and they sort of see him as a lost puppy to be taken in and cared for. Al and Johnny are his favorites, followed by Hedwig (since they're the dead-human contingent in the house), but he pities her for her fallen-woman status (though he'd never tell her so). Since he hasn't got anything else going on, he does the rest of the chores for the house, and has a garden outside, which is his pride and joy.

...I think that's everybody. ^_^

I am belatedly replying, because this idea cracks me up!

Lan and Trowa would get along perfectly well; they are both tidy, self-contained, disinclined to have a lot of stuff, and not inclined to unnecessary chatter. Lan would take over the backyard (or basement, or den, or whatever are the most appropriate spaces) for sword forms pretty regularly, but not when anyone else was using it. Trowa would spend a lot of time on the computer. (I am here assuming that Trowa is handwavily still working at the circus, or else that this is a temporary rooming situation.) Mind you, Lan is married, but in this scenario either Nynaeve is elsewhere for plot, or she's pretty much another housemate despite having a different mun.

Hawkeye would be likewise, except that I think she would privately chafe more. She likes having her own space; she's used to it. And she's kind of a slob in her own home, which is something you can get away with more when you live on your own. She wouldn't be a bad housemate, but she wouldn't be wild about the situation. Luckily, she spends way too much time at the office anyway.

Piotr: also likewise! His own room would basically double as a painting studio, so there might be wafting smells of turpentine sometimes, but he's pretty good at keeping the mess contained to a given room. He'd spar with Lan, too, which they'd both enjoy, although he'd have to be kind of careful to not destroy the backyard. He's another who has a live-in S.O. with a different mun, so either this is temporary or there's plot or Kate is over at the house a lot. But they're used to being considerate of people sharing a building.

River would be that annoying housemate who's cheerful and friendly and considerate as far as space goes, and completely forgets to do her share of the cleaning or pay her bills unless you remind her every month, and needs to have the DON'T GO IN MY ROOM WHEN I'M NOT THERE boundaries laid out very clearly. I don't think Lan or Trowa would like her all that well as a housemate, though they wouldn't have anything personal against her; Hawkeye is more nurturing, and would do a little better with it.

Honey would spend all his time at Mori's place anyway, or vice versa. One hopes Mori's, because he would annoy them all by being underfoot and irresponsible (although he has people to take care of his bill-paying for him) and eating all the cake and watching cute anime or something in the living room when other people wanted to do stuff.

Edel would be that housemate who's never home, and usually quietly in her room when she is, and no one's ever quite sure what her schedule is or where she goes or what her job is, or whether she's home at any given moment or not. Uzura, on the other hand, would be way more underfoot than Honey. Honey has at least some skill at assessing whether he's charming or irritating people; Uzura is genuinely a toddler, and, uh, does not. None of the others hate kids -- well, except Honey, who would be subtly competitive in a way Uzura would completely miss -- but none of them really want to volunteer to have a weird drum-banging toddler living in their home. (Well, Piotr would be okay with it. He loves kids! And is used to having X-Men and mutant students underfoot.) So the others would be quietly a lot more stressed if she and Honey were around.

Oh, and Regan! She would get along great with the people who are not her daughter. *laughing* I am not sure River and Regan would really get along if they had to share the same roof these days -- I mean, it wouldn't be a disaster or anything, but it wouldn't be the most stress-free of rooming situations. Especially since both of them would want it to be stress-free and natural, and... you know, River is 24 and has been living away from her parents for ten years and has had some radical personality changes since then, and she and Regan loved but didn't really understand each other to start with. So yeah.
