• THE QUIET ZONE. ( m/f, open. ) when dylan retreats to the roof of their dormitory building to take a smoke break and refuge from a raging floor party, he encounters someone who’s also avoiding the festivities up there.
• PARTNERS-IN-CRIME. ( m/f, open. ) the cheesy, typical best friends cliche. they have a secret handshake, share inside jokes, listen to the same music, and all that jazz. and yes, they do typically cause a ruckus inside the bar whenever alcohol is involved, which most likely includes mops, guitars, and a handful of embarrassed faces.
• PENPALS. ( m/f, open. ) dylan sends a care package to an old friend’s address, not knowing that they moved and that a different person has currently settled down there. so, you write a letter back to dylan explaining that they have no idea who the hell this other person is, and that you have just moved into the house not longer than a week ago. dylan writes back apologizing for the mix up and telling the other to enjoy the care package anyway. the two end up writing back and forth for a while. eventually, they both find out that they're studying in the same campus after seeing each other in the cafeteria.
• IS THIS SEAT TAKEN? ( f, open. ) after a rather brash shower and a few feeble attempts to tame the pounding in his head, dylan finally arrives at campus, 15 minutes late to his first class. the professor has already started his lecture, and as you start to open your binder to take notes, a bewildered dylan barges in and appears at the door. he quietly greets the professor, hair ruffled, tie askew, his breathe on his tail. you and the lecturer barely acknowledge him and the lecturer continues on, you zeroing in on the presentation. your train of thought gets derailed once more when you feel a hand tap your shoulder. you look over and see the unruly guy from the door earlier, asking if the seat beside you is available. you give him a non-descript nod and as you rummage through your backpack for a highlighter, you hear him plop his books and bag on the table in a sound that may have been a little too grating and a little too loud for your taste. you grit your teeth and say to yourself, “this is gonna be a long day.”
• FILM PARTNER ( m/f, open. ) you and dylan get to watch films together as a pair for a project in film class. part by part analysis and/or commentary, and theoretical frameworks are required.
