Dirk arrived to the apartment complex a day or so early, just so he could check it all out before his room mate got there. Upon entering, he found himself trapped in the most foul stench he could have ever imagined, it was awful. He left his bag on the porch thing and began checking the rooms. The livingroom was empty, bathroom looked normal, kitchen's pretty normal, then the first bedroom. He looked around to find nothing amiss at first, then he saw it. In the closet lie what looked like a grey-green furry sludge mixture. "What the fuck is that?" He mumbled with tears in his eyes from the concentration of the odor. He checked the second room to find it perfectly normal, yellowed cracking paint on the walls and hardwood floor just like everywhere else inside.
He locked up, picked up his bag, and went up to dollar tree for cleaning supplies. 'LA's Totally Awesome', a cheap mop, and some steel wool scrubbers usually did the trick, he got a bucket from Wal-Mart , contraxtor bags from Ace, and went on back. As soon as he got there, he opened windows, unpacked and lit some Tiger's Blood incense, filled up the bucket and got to work on the substance.
It took him a good two hours just to scrub it all out, he didn't want to know what that was. He went ahead and mopped the rest of the place while he had the equipment on hand. " whoever left that shit was a sick, sick person.." he said as he finished. The bucket and mop were emptied and left in the kitchen while he got enough pillows and blankets to make a pallet on the floor of the formerly toxic, now well scented first bedroom. He would take it so she didn't have to. All the windows were closed and he went to sleep.

Dirk awoke the next morning pretty comfortably for floor sleep. He went out to call in a favor from his cousin Roxy. He lie on the hood of his unfortunately color schemed 1976 Chevy Malibu. Pea soup green inside and out, a black satin finish would do wonders for its appeal.

Roxy drove up in her big, honkin' black 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with a powder pink racing stripe and interior to match her eyes and hair. " Heyy there cuuuuz, are you jelly jelly jelly yet!?"
"Not as much as you want me to be, you still live with your moms"
"Why give up free everything?"
" Because i'm 21 years old."
"We just got out of college, come on everyone needs a little fuckaround time!"
"You graduated top of your class in computer sciemce or information technology or some shit, didn't you?"
"And you did robotics but that doesn't mean we have sell our souls to a landlord just fucken yet, home skillet."
"Whatever, just let me in your stupid truck." They drove out to his older brother's place to get his mattress and book cases, the only things he couldn't fit in the car. "Now go go Dirkadirk get that dumb mattress, because of course bedframes are so mainstream!"
"Cram it, Roxanne Laurelelle Kharma Lalonde."
"Dirk Da'Rellynn Strider!"
She stuck her tongue out and watched him struggle with the mattress by himself, full size gets pretty unwieldy. When he got to the porch of the house, he just let it fall to the ground and Roxy helped him heave it into the bed of the truck. "That it?"
"Two 6x4 book cases."
"I hate you, get a goddamn kindle like a normal person. " she said in jest as they both handled them in tandem.
When they finished, they got back in the truck.
"Soooo when's she getting here, dirkadirk?"
"Tomorrow."
" are you gonna,you know, do stuff?"
"Like what?"
" sexy stuff"
"You are not going there"
"Oh come on i know you want tooooo"
" you're sick."
"I know you."
"Don't you have your own romance to overanalyze?"
"Not really, ooh but i do have a succulent college boy who i cam with sometimes, god he's cute and his dick-"
"I don't need to know about your barely-legal cam boy dick."
"Hey he's legal though, i am so done with jailbait. "
"Good job, Rox, you're gonna be such a cougar."
"Living la vida loca"
"That's not even in context."
"Fuckofffff"
"Just help me drag this shit upstairs."
"God you suck." Roxy killed the engine and got out to help him haul first the heavy shit, then the rest of it all.
"Hey you want some spinach alfredo my moms cooked? Kan packed us this cute lunch thing."
"Oh god yes," he got out and rinsed off some forks.
Roxy poured them each a weak cosmo from a flask and they ate their meals.
After they finished eating they threw the forks in the sink and started organizing Dirk's shit.
"How many Gurren Lagann figures do you got, man?"
"Just that box. There's another for stuff like mobilesuit gundam 00 and black rock shooter and everything else"
"You dooork"
"Shut it shoujo girl."
"I did like Peach Girl and Skip Beat. Guess GL wasn't too bad neither."

Knock. .

"I will get that!"
Roxy opened the door to see a cute, plump girl of probably short-average height with red lipstick, rosy cheeks, bright baby blue eyes, and curly black hair.

Jane waited at the door, she wondered if she should've messaged him earlier, made it less of a surprise. But where's the fun in that?
The door opened to reveal a tall, lean built girl with one of the darkest spray tans and powder pink hair and eyes.
"Is there a Dirk Strider here?" Jane asked her, a little confused.
Roxy dragged her inside, "OH DIRKADIRK YOUR CUTE LIL GIRLFRIEND IS HERE"

Dirk hit himself in the face out of a mix of habit and embarrassment. "Roxy you're despicable." He fast-walks over and hugs Jane, spinning her," and you're early!"
"I am! I ended up flying in one of my company's jets they use for conferences."
"Swankay, gurl how did you end up friends with my cousin?"
"Internet, oh Dirk where do i put my bag? "
"I'll show you." He took her hand and led her through the hall, showing her each room along the way."..and here is your room. The other had something in it but i got everything up and i hope you dont mind all the incense. "
"Oh, no it smells fine, this room looks..nice."
" i think the last tenant or three might have been smokers, the paint is all fucked up."
"Oh no! I like it fine, i mean i did tell my dad that i wanted to live on my own, or at least without his help," she finally puts her stuff down near the closet. "So what were you up to?"

"Just organizing my stuff. We did a lot of moving today."
"Nice, my things are coming tomorrow."
"So where's princess Crocker sleepin'?" Roxy asked as she approached them,having gotten bored.

Dirk turned back to Jane," you can take my bed."

Jane threw her hands up," i dont mean to take your space."

"You two could shaaaaaaree" Roxy nudged at Jane with her elbow,"c'mon Janey, Dirkadirk."

Dirk shrugged," i have no reason to mind it, but dont you have to be home for dinner, Roxanne."

"Hell yeah! Y'all have fun eating off brand ramen" she left, only to continuously text for the rest of the night.

"She's got to be fun at parties."
"Yeah, so what do you say on the bed issue?"

"Sharing is fine. I like boys with bleached hair." She giggled.
