fandomhigh | Practical Ethics, Tuesday, October 23, 2018

"Today we're going to discuss another practical aspect of ethics," Anakin said, still holding a grudge about the damn goat. "Roommate negotiations."

"Like limiting your number of hair products if you've got a small refresher." Because Aphra wasn't the only terrible roomie at the front of the class.

"And not passive-aggressively knocking said hair products into the sink to prove your point," Anakin added sourly.

"You don't need to knock them over if there's so many of them the slightest breeze could do it." Though she had knocked her fair share down.

"There wasn't a breeze in that bathroom," Anakin said.

"The Force made a breeze."

"It didn't," Anakin said. "Anyway. Sometimes you are forced to live with unreasonable people with no respect for hygiene regimes."

"Or communal living spaces," Aphra added like she'd never been the person repeatedly sexiling their university roommates.

"Or other people's property which shouldn't be stolen especially if its creepy eyes follow you everywhere."

And we're back to the goat, folks.

The goat was amazing and Anakin was an ingrate. "So how do you deal with an annoying roommate?"

Hard mode, no sniping.

"Changing the locks on the door is not off the table," Anakin muttered.

Anakin, you knew Aphra knew how to pick locks. "Or you could get rid of their bed."

"Or you could shave half of their hair in the dark."

ANAKIN. ETHICS CLASS.

"Or shave it all off."

APHRA, NO.

Wondering what crack your teachers are on today.

Decide that Anakin and Aphra should never be roommates again.

Perhaps try communicating like adults before going straight to shaving people's hair off? Just a thought?

Who certainly aren't talking to each other.

WE REGRET NOTHING.

Prince Sidon

"My roommate and I," said Sidon, who felt like he was an excellent example of being able to reach a workable compromise in a situation such as this, "have a wonderful understanding of our differences in this regard. We very clearly both have different needs for our accommodations, but we make it work exceptionally well by merely respecting the other person's boundaries and keeping to our own spaces."

And generally ignoring the general existence of the other.

If it worked, it worked!
