Part 7 - Living Situation
Where does your character live?
- In his room, in the house he grew up in.
- Nowhere else, at least on a permanent basis.
- Nothing decided yet for the school year.
Why did they choose it, and how did they acquire it?
- He didn’t choose it, it was given to him.
How do they handle intruders (graciously? violently?)?
- Into his house? It might get violent.
- Into his room? It likely wouldn’t get violent, but he’d definitely be rude and upset about it. There’s a door for a reason. His space is his space, and a lot of the time he just needs it to not be invaded.
- Of course, this ultimately depends on who's doing the intruding (i.e. friend vs father vs girlfriend vs brother)
Describe the space.
- Ryan’s bedroom is always kept clean and tidy. Everything has its place, and unless he’s literally just gotten back and dropped things in random places, everything is more than likely put away.
- The room is spacious, if not remarkably large. The door opens into the space at the bottom right corner (the walls extend left and forward from the frame). This simultaneously annoys Ryan and is useful; if he’s carrying something, he can hold it in his left hand and open the door with his right, but if he’s not he has to reach across himself to open it. Usually it’s not that much of an issue, but the subconscious action is, in theory, the more difficult one.
- Locations assuming you’re facing into the room, from the door.
- All the way to the left, and at the left corner of the perpendicular wall, is his closet. The doors to his closet are almost always closed, and the inside of it is the messiest part of the room. On lazy days, he’ll ‘put things away’ by shoving them away on the floor of that space, and putting in the actual effort whenever it becomes too unmanageable. His chest of drawers is inside the closet, to the left, with hanger and floor space to the right.
- On the interior wall, (to your hypothetical left), is a desk. It is pushed into the room three or four feet, with six or so feet on the other side between the end of the desk and the closet. There is a lamp on the left side, closer to the door. There is also a desk chair.
- His bed is in the corner opposite the door, with the headboard against the same wall as the closet.
- There is a window in the room, on the wall across from the door. The sill is between a foot and two feet above the top of the mattress, and provides enough of a ledge for small things to be placed along it. The curtains are grey.
- There is very little up on his walls.
- In the corner directly across from his door is a small bookcase. It faces the door, not the bed, and is full. He keeps his guitar between it and the wall, in the corner.
- He has a small bedside table, with drawers. On top is an alarm clock, and usually very little else.
- His walls are a light blue-green. He’s a little sick of the colour.
