Been Rewatching RWBY so have my JNPR Roommate HCs
The actual room situation
- Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren are all only children. Nora and Ren grew up together but didnt have a sibling dynamic. Jaune is the third youngest child in a family of 8 children. It took Pyrrha the longest to adjust to roommates
- In the beginning Jaune actually found it easier living with Pyrrha and Nora than with Ren, since he has 7 sisters
- Nora and Ren have been together so long, it was less learning how to room with the opposite gender and more how to room with strangers
- Beds were set up by partners and not gender. Nora and Ren set up first so Jaune and Pyrrha had to follow (looking in from the door from left to right it went Jaune's bed, Pyrrha's bed, the big gap, Nora's bed, Ren's bed)
- Pyrrha handled it like a champ but she figured things would be a little more gender segregated. So she was surprised Nora set up in the bed next to Ren instead of her, and it took her a while to get used to changing in front of them (changing clothes in a lockerroom? Fine, because your wearing underwear. Changing your underwear? Thats a little different)
- Everyone but Ren is messy. Theres clothes and objects everywhere. Half the time if you cant find your jacket in the first few seconds you just wear the one closest to you. Ren picks up after everyone but only when he feels like it
- Nora can and will steal your clothes (and Pyrrha day dreams about stealing Jaune's... Nora offered to do it for her once and she almost said yes)
- If you leave food unattended its fair game. Jaune has learned to hide his soda cans when he's not done with them and Pyrrha has a secret stash of granola bars
The Bathroom
- Pyrrha had a lot of trouble adjusting to using the same bathroom. Jaune and Nora set up shop and just did whatever they wanted while Ren at least asked if he could put his stuff here or there.
- Nora will barge into the bathroom when anyone is showering. Ren is used to it and Jaune only freaked out the first time (because he thought he would finally get SOME privacy once he moved out) but Pyrrha was not okay with it
- Jaune usually knocks if someone is in the shower and he has to get in there (because these are his friends and not his sisters) but if he's half asleep he walks right in
- Ren will walk right in if its Nora or Jaune
- Eventually Pyrrha has to run in to do something. And after the fourth time just stops knocking
- So in the end everyone ended up walking in on everyone else whenever they wanted to
- Sometimes full on conversations happen with one person in the shower. Sometimes when Nora doesnt want to be alone she'll sit down and have a mostly one sided conversation with whoever is in there. Pyrrha gets really philosophical in the shower so conversations with her can get really deep.
- They have a speaker in the bathroom. Everyone listens to music in the shower now. It started with Ren and Nora and then Jaune and Pyrrha picked up the habit
- Two of them are musical nerds. I dont know which two yet. Feel like Nora is one of them
- When Pyrrha thinks she's alone she'll sing in the shower
- They are constantly forgetting to buy toilet paper. They'll buy the giant Costco sizes and then not know when they're out. They have to go borrow a roll from team RWBY when this happens. Ruby always forgets to buy toothpaste and JNPR always has way to much (again, Costco) so it all works out (Ruby and Yang share, Weiss wont share, and Blake uses sensitive teeth toothpaste)
- Jaune sometimes uses the wrong toothbrush and just doesnt tell anybody
- Ren uses other people's shampoo when he runs out. He's been using Pyrrha's for a month now
Laundry
- Nora and Jaune always forget about the clothes in the dorm washer/dryer. Clothes have been down there for a week before
- Nora and Ren hardly ever wash their sheets and it drives Jaune nuts
- Most of the time they'll wash all their stuff together (ex. towels, training clothes), which no one else in their hall does (Yang will wash Ruby's clothes with hers but Blake think thats weird and Weiss with most of the students in the hall its a privacy thing. Pyrrha was like that but she got tired of running down to the laundry room to do a tiny load of clothes that she needed the next morning. If they all do it together they all take turns)
- Ren likes folding clothes. Jaune, Nora, and Pyrrha dump everything in the basket before bringing it up but Ren will fold the clothes/sheets in the laundry room. Half the time Nora dumps her laundry on his bed and he folds it for her
- Pyrrha hates sorting socks. Unlike Jaune and Nora she refuses to wear mismatching socks and therefore has to sort hers. She hates it
- Pyrrha was the only one who didnt know how to do laundry before coming to Beacon
Downtime/the rest of the time
- they'll all get together and watch a movie on someone's scroll. 4 people squashed together to watch something on a teeny tiny scroll
- Everyone sitting on everyone else's beds (canon) evolves to sharing beds at night before bed or in the mornings
- Jaune and Pyrrha are 6 feet tall with Ren close to it and they all have twin sized beds but they make the sharing work. Sometimes Nora and Ren will straight up sleep in the same bed
- Nora likes to play with people's hair (canon?) so sometimes she does different types of braids in Pyrrha's at night while Pyrrha is on her scroll
