twst lodging + roommates lore
Now that we have all the Relax in Room cards, I can finally release this into the wild!!
First year students are four to a room.
Second year students are two to a room.
Third year students get their own rooms.
Fourth year students go off-campus for internships, and therefore do not require rooms on NRC campus.
Dorm leaders (but NOT vice dorm leaders) get their own rooms, regardless of what year they are.
All students use a communal washroom; not even the dorm leaders have a private one.
Savanaclaw and Scarabia are noted to have empty rooms; it is not known if this is true for other dorms. Yuu and Grim stay in an âempty private roomâ in book 4.
Heartslabyul has no open rooms. This is why Yuu cannot sleep over in book 3.
Riddle, Trey, Cater, Leona, Azul, Kalim, Vil, Rook, Idia, Malleus, and Lilia have NO roommates because they are a dorm leader, third year, or both a dorm leader and a third year.
It is stated in the light novel that Riddle determines the room assignments for students in Heartslabyul. It has yet to be confirmed if this is the process for other dorms as well.
Ace says he can hear Deuce grinding this teeth in his sleep.
Ace thinks his roommates have it easy and donât have upperclassmen who cause problems or nag them.
They swap dorm duties and help each other remember the Queen of Heartsâ rules.
Their stuff always mixes with their roommatesâ stuff.
No one bothers waking Ace up if he oversleeps.
They play darts or card games (the latter of which have been particularly popular). Deuce says this disrupts his studying.
Ace says a loud-mouthed and stubborn idiot always gets in the way of these games. He doesnât name anyone, but I assume he means Deuce.
They share comics, taking turns reading every week.
They sometimes share food, as one roommate gives Deuce cookies as a birthday gift the night before.
Deuce is frequently bothered by his roommates when he tries to study. This makes his roommates laugh and intentionally act in ways that distract him.
Ruggie says he gets along pretty well with his roommate. Itâs a very âyou scratch my back, I scratch yoursâ relationship.
His roommate is good at ancient incantations.
Ruggie offers his animal linguistics expertise in exchange for his roommateâs help with ancient incantations homework.
Ruggie says he can count on his roomie.
Jack cannot do stretches in his room because his roommatesâ stuff is scattered everywhere.
His roommates ask to copy his homework, which Jack refuses. He tells them to take personal responsibility for their work.
Jack says his roommates stay up late and/or are too loud. For him, who always sleeps at 10 pm every day, this is not optimal.
He doubts his roommates will listen to him.
He complains that his roommates leave their dirty clothes in his personal space. Jack considers throwing the clothes away.
Floyd tends to pile up snacks in their room since he loses interest after he already buys them.
Jade plans on getting more logbooks, encyclopedias, and terrariums for the room.
Jade tends to ramble about the mountains. Whenever Floyd is wide awake, this helps to immediately put him to sleep.
Jade keeps his side neat and tidy, whereas Floydâs side is messy and unkempt.
Floyd occasionally borrows Jadeâs clothes.
He says his roommate is ânot a painâ.
Jamil describes his roommate as âthe kind of guy that doesnât care at allâ if Jamil decides to do stretches in the middle of the night.
His roommate greets him when he returns.
Jamil implies his roommates doesnât regularly study. However, he does appear to study when he knows he will be busy tomorrow and this wonât have time to do it then.
Epel sprays fragrances he is gifted to cover the smell of him snacking.
His roommates often ask him what products he uses and what he eats. They then proceed to try and copy him, hoping to attain Epelâs looks.
His roommates compliment his appearance and his cardigan.
They do not know about Epelâs true nature.
They go to bed early in order to get their beauty sleep.
Epel waits for his roomies to fall asleep so he can watch his favorite shows on his phone while snacking.
Idia scared Ortho with stories about how awful it was to room with three other students and to have zero privacy.
Ortho chats with his roommates all the time. He finds each or their specialized fields of interest fascinating.
His roommates are excited whenever Ortho debuts a new gear. Ortho answers all their questions.
His roommates usually stay up late, at least past midnight.
He plays video games with his roomies.
Ortho used to âsleepâ while standing motionlessly and giving off a faint light. His roomies found this frightening and asked for the school to do something about it.
His roommate finds Treinâs class boring and falls asleep during it.
The roomie helps wake Silver up when he starts to fall asleep and in the mornings too.
The roommate has to deal with Silverâs alarms every morning. He begs Silver to not buy more.
Once Silver startled his roommates on a rainy day. He had decided to practice with his sword in their room. Silver now warns the roommate before he practices with his sword.
Please note: Sebek DOES have three roommates, but we only ever see two in his vignettes.
Sebek seems cold towards his roommates, as he does not find it necessary to get to know them.
He says his roomies are too noisy (when there is a question on an assignment they cannot figure out). Sebek helps them, but is arrogant about it.
His roommates tell Sebek he is full of himself, even if they are grateful for his assistance.
He joins in conversations where they extol Malleusâs greatness.
Trey and Cater confirm that they were roommates as first and second year students.
When Leona was a first year, one of his roommateâs alarms went off and it was so loud that he smashed it to smithereens.
