OCs as Good Roommates

Had a prompt sent my way by @sorcerous-caress , hopefully I got it right? It got pretty rambly.

Mina

One of those roommates you get in college, probably the best out of the bunch and the one who's usually followed up by the roommate from hell.

She lives part-time at the dorm, so you do have a large chunk of privacy by default. You find out she's an RN student with very odd hours, but she’s very respectful about your peace/sleep, like a mouse she's in and out. On the rare occasion that you've been startled by her scurrying about, she's quick to smooth things over by finding that one midnight snack you've been craving? How'd she know? It's like she can read your mind.

During the beginning of the semester, Mina offers to find you cheaper textbooks, physical or digital it doesn't matter; even those non-standard textbooks professors write themselves. Mina manages to find them dirt cheap or even free and gifts them to you. Just ignore some stains and copper smell, she uh, got them from some family associates.

She's a god send during midterms or when you're sick, healthy snacks, easy to read study guides, and enough medicine for anything you need; you'd think she's a walking pharmacy. You don't know how she does it, but somehow you're healthy almost immediately. You'll miss her when she's gone and are pretty sure she's going to be a wonderful nurse.

Felicia Aguilar

Felicia, is that the roommate you get when you're down on your luck; You find her by chance on a web listing, and apparently, she needed a roommate for a year. Supposedly her apartment is too quiet during the day? Whatever that means.

It's a little awkward at first, but Felicia offers to help carry your heavier items up the elevator and starts to organize for you; However, you'll get the impression she is more used to being leered at rather than talked to. As you gradually get settled in, you'll notice how clean everything is; at least, that's one thing you don't have to worry about.

Most of the apartment is already decorated, and you come to find out Felicia has a child(divorced)? Who lives part-time with her. You're free to decorate the living space as you please, save Felicia's room. The only stipulation is that you don't touch her child's room/plants. ( A week after you move in, you discover the "child" is a whole-ass college kid. How old is Felicia?)

She tends to be very busy most nights and tries to be as respectful as possible for it. You don't get much conversation out of her because of it, but the few moments you do talk, it's mostly her picking your brain about music. After a few convos, she'll start gifting you with albums or tickets for artists you mentioned. She tries to memorize what you like, at least for small talk purposes

Felicia keeps the fridge stocked, and she actually urges you to eat from it often. It's almost as if she doesn't eat and just buys groceries for appearances, but hey, at least someone eats them. Just don't open her ice box. She's very territorial over it for some reason.

Catalina

Catalina is the odd one out here because they actually own the place you room together. You find them from flyers, actually, old-fashioned, but it got the job done.

When you move in, it becomes very apparent that the situation is a case of empty nest syndrome on Catalina's part. A couple of off-handed remarks about grandchildren moving out(they don't seem that old)? And complaints about the lack of noise, paint a picture of a begrudgingly lonely individual.

Your half of the rent is dirt cheap, as Catalina covers the majority of the mortgage, and for what you get access to, it's really a steal on your end. A large master bedroom with a private on-suite bathroom and a large plot of land that Catalina doesn't care what you do with. They'll even throw in the offer of loaning one of their work trucks.

Catalina doesn't care about noise. Hell, they'll even courage it. It's your living space, live in it dammit.

Pets are okay, Catalina even has some of their own on the property. The pets are terrifying, but they are friendly to you. ( you swear you've seen one of the dogs walk around like a skinless man once.) Catalina will feed your pets for you, and take them out for exercise( they might come home with an animal carcass or two. Catalina just flatly states your pet is a good hunter, with no elaboration.)

You don't have to worry about house maintenance, whether it's yard work, plumbing, or even electrical. Catalina has you covered. She will grab you if you're nearby, however, just to teach you. You're not going to live with them forever and it's good to be self-sufficient. Now be good and grab the wrench for them.
