people suck except when they don't | thursday | period 2 | march 18
Today's class was probably relevant to every single person's interest so there was no way Loki was going to slack the fuck off even if he wanted to. So, everyone was handwavily notified to come on down to the Danger Shop for class. He waited until everyone came in and took their seats before diving into the lecture.
"Roommates," Loki started, looking over all the students. "You all probably have one. And, if you don't, consider yourself fucking lucky. Depending on your luck, having a roommate can either be a very good or a very bad thing. If you get along, that's fucking good. If you don't, that's fucking bad. The thing about roommates is that if you don't get along, you still have to live with each other at least for a little while. You're going to have to adapt and adjust and compromise. And sometimes, that's pretty fucking daunting because people are strong willed and set in their ways. They don't want to fucking compromise because some idiot won't wash their forks."
Or worse. But, Loki decided to get into that later.
"There are a couple of ways you can deal with horrible roommates," he continued. "You can fucking ignore them, make sure your schedule is completely opposite theirs so you only have to deal with each other a scant few times. You can fucking make their lives hell. Try and drive them out of the room because they're shit and not you. You can passively cower with your tail between your legs and let them walk all over you or you can do a combination of things. Really, what you do is going to depending on how shitty your roommate is. Small things can more easily be tolerated than major things. If you're a patient person, you'll be able to deal with more than if you're impatient. Pick your battles with your roommate. If you try and fight them on every single thing, you might end up duct taped to your bed and taped for YouTube. Pick your fucking battles."
Loki thought about launching into that whole single, white female realm but figured these poor kids had enough to deal with just with teenage roommate situations.
"For today's activity, I'm going to give each of you a situation. You're the roommate dealing with it and the Danger Shop is going to provide you with the problem roommate. Solve your problem. Or, if you can't do that, make sure your roommate's too fucking scared to keep causing problems."
With the lecture done, Loki gestured to the simulation and waited for everyone to get to work.
