DE: Behind closed doors

[bjornwilde]

Sorry DE is running late. I just spilled the last of the coffee all over the kitchen so not only did I have to clean everything--well, nearly everything--I now get to wait until I get to work for the go juice. Bah!

Anyway, today's topic comes fromherr_bookman :
Due to this tag, where Oswin brought kitty!Autor into her room, inquiring minds would like to know: what do your pups' bedrooms look like? If they rent from the bar, have they changed it in any way? What's their living situation outside of Milliways?

I'm probably not going to bother with my other characters' rooms, except to note that Mordin doesn't have a bedroom on board the Normandy. The generally accepted explanation is that Mordin Solus does not sleep, he waits. Salarians sleep only one hour out of every twenty-five anyway, so my headcanon is that Mordin has learned to do the salarian equivalent of Edison's sleep habits- Edison slept about two or three hours at a stretch, then took minor naps at intervals during the day. Dividing along similar lines I'm pretty sure that when Mordin needs to sleep he walks into a closet and dozes off standing up for a couple of minutes.

That being said, Shephard's bedroom at Milliways is the only one I really know about for him. The majority of flat surfaces are taken up by meticulously filled notebooks, to a degree that one normally sees on crime dramas when the detectives have just realized they're in the living space of someone who has a really serious compulsion of some kind. The notebooks, upon investigation, are mostly extremely detailed volumes of military strategy and tactics written in very small but readable handwriting. The ones that aren't are biographies of Marines who died at Black Mesa or sometime thereafter. Shephard has his reasons.

There's a little space in the room for floor exercise and/or his dogs. He hangs his weapons in the closet for the most part. Occasionally the bathroom is used for tanning hides, as he periodically pays his Milliways bill in demon rabbit pelts or clothing items made from demon rabbit furs.
