I mean, he wants to. He wants to have friends, but he's just bad at getting them.

Though they play very different types of music, Jimmy is equally obsessed with music and has it as his passion. I figured I was gonna have Jimmy interact with Ernest. He's a pretty social kind of guy as well, so I was thinking he might try and make Ernest his friend weather Ernest likes it or not simply due to shared interests.

Either of us might had missed something. I asked if he wanted to dorm, yet I didn't notice any response.

I think your post might've suffered from 'submitted but not shown' syndrome. Happened to me when I wrote about 300 words of news story. I think he should, and honestly, just pick the dorm which you think is best for him. If you need a specific suggestion from me, try room 3 or 4. I would get him a nice house, but I think it'd be more fun in a dorm.

Tag.

ugh, I hate trying to copy and paste large amounts of text, my screen reader invariably fucks up and I end up copying somewhere above it.

hmm tag

In that case, I added him onto the dormitory assignments listings, specifically for room four, along with Blake and Jimmy.

Unfortunate. Take as much time as you need, as I won't be rushing things. Plenty of deeply-interested RPers have still yet to make their applications too, so the timing works out rather advantageously.

However, following some family disputes and a divorce, Lawrence alternated living with his father in LA and his mother in Vancouver. Though his childhood was never lacking, he still found himself overshadowed by his older half brother, who seemed like the model child with a 4.0 GPA, became student president and headed several school clubs, and graduated from the Harvard Business School. Following the economic recession of 09, his brother moved back to Guangzhou, where he started a consulting firm. Lawrence spent two years living with his brother in China, to "get a sense of his home country", as his mother said.

Sounds like a plan, though to be fair it might be worth having him interact with someone every now and then just so you've got something to write about. Besides, while Peter's also a loner, I could imagine him having at least one friend (or maybe a love interest) just so I don't really get bored writing him.

Actually, that may have been the case.

Can I just edit it and link to it?

Yes.

I'll take a look at the apps later tonight. On mobile.

I should add, however, that classes have not start yet. Ernest would not have had the opportunity to "play between classes" just yet, since we are still only on the first day, and before the start of the AM assembly.

That time will come, however, though now we're keeping everything to a single time and day to start us off.
