How come I have to have a "silver turd" and a "blind dude" as roommates? They both suck!
Who came up with this idea? This is stupid.

Might kick them out. They're too noisy.

Does anyone even like their roommates? Mine are annoying. Let's do a trade.

Have you considered asking them to be more considerate?
Or perhaps thought of being so yourself? Your complaints don't seem that warranted.

( 'you suck' is pretty weak tbh; if he's gonna be all ad hominem at least be creative )

[silverhound]

...Why should I be considerate? I'm bigger than them. That means I call the shots.

It's my room! Not theirs!

[valcurie]

How old are you, exactly?

[silverhound]

Old enough! My age has nothing to do with anything!

You're being a jerk! Just because I'm like two weeks old, doesn't mean anything! You people are judgmental and rude!

[valcurie]

( well that was...unexpected? ) I beg your pardon? Two weeks? From when are you reckoning that?

[silverhound]

Look, I've counted this like twenty times!

My brothers and I were created by Mother's will to protect her from Shinra! That was over a week ago! We beaten the Turks and left the Northern Crater on the first day, then we finally the outskirts of Edge, the city by Midgar. That's when we saw "Big Brother" and his friends.

The three of us split up.

Kadaj went to Healin to track down Mother, Yazoo went to Edge and I went to Midgar. That was one full day! Then after the stuff at the forest, we head back to Edge, found Mother and tried to escape.

Then...then...something happened. A lot happened. Now I'm here! My brothers are asleep but over three days have passed, right? So two weeks!

[valcurie]

You really are two weeks old.
Are you an AI of some kind? If you're human, that's absolutely unremarkable that you've developed so many capabilities so quickly! Though I guess it does explain some of your behaviour.
You have my apologies, however. I did not know you are so new to life.

[silverhound]

I'm not some computer A.I! I'm sorta like...an alien. I mean, I look "human" but I'm not.

Eh, don't worry about it. I'm still getting used to dealing with...people outside of combat.

[valcurie]

What do you consider yourself, then? Human?
Well, if your roommates are loud and stressing you out, I can imagine that it's quite a tough situation for you. You'll need some pretty advanced conflict management skills to resolve this. But I am sure you can do it peacefully! Think of it as a personal growth opportunity.

[silverhound]

...I don't know. I really don't know.

I.... [He stops typing for a moment as he tries to ponder this question for himself.] I wouldn't say I'm human but I don't want to be anything like Mother.

I'm know I'm not fully human and I guess that's...okay. There's plenty of people here who aren't human. I still fit in.

Ugh, do I really have to settle things peacefully? No punching? Oh, fine!

[valcurie]

Ah, well, you don't really have to know, do you? You're a person all the same.

And people are special because we're able to work with each other.

If you need to punch things, there always is the dojo! I'm sure there're dummies and even other people willing to help you blow off some steam.

[silverhound]

That's what "comprising" means, right? Being able to work with those you don't like an all? Not really fun but better than trying to knock someone's teeth out. I still don't like these two assholes over here.

A dojo? I might give that a shot! That way no one can get angry with me for punching them. Win, win!

[valcurie]

Yes, exactly! Not only will they be less angry with you, you have a better chance of them doing something for you in the future. They'll be more likely to think you're reasonable. And, who knows, maybe you'll come to like each other one day.

Let me know if you ever need a sparring partner. I could use the practise against someone so young and full of energy.
