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 “empty private room” 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 don’t have upperclassmen who cause problems or nag them.
They swap dorm duties and help each other remember the Queen of Hearts’ rules.
Their stuff always mixes with their roommates’ 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.
They also play video games together.
Ace says a loud-mouthed and stubborn idiot always gets in the way of these games. He doesn’t 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. It’s a very “you scratch my back, I scratch yours” relationship.
His roommate is good at ancient incantations.
Ruggie offers his animal linguistics expertise in exchange for his roommate’s help with ancient incantations homework.
Ruggie says he can count on his roomie.
Jack cannot do stretches in his room because his roommates’ 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.
When Jack was moving in, he and his roommates got into a fight about who would get which bed. In the end, Jack defeated them in arm-wrestling and was able to get first pick of the place he slept. (He wanted a spot that got a little sunlight so his cactus could be nourished.)
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 Floyd’s side is messy and unkempt.
Floyd occasionally borrows Jade’s clothes.
He says his roommate is “not a pain”.
Jamil describes his roommate as “the kind of guy that doesn’t care at all” if Jamil decides to do stretches in the middle of the night.
His roommate greets him when he returns.
Jamil implies his roommates doesn’t regularly study. However, he does appear to study when he knows he will be busy tomorrow and this won’t 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 Epel’s looks.
His roommates compliment his appearance and his cardigan.
They do not know about Epel’s 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.
One of Epel's roommates put a sheet mask on his face to help prepare Epel for his birthday photoshoot.
They rebuke Epel's "cool" fashion choices, calling his choice of attire crude and insisting it ruins Epel's natural charm.
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 “sleep” while standing motionlessly and giving off a faint light. His roomies found this frightening and asked for the school to do something about it.
He invites his roommates to play sugoroku with him. Idia's worried the roommates will blame Ortho if they lose, but it's not clear if the roommates really would bully Ortho like that.
His roommate finds Trein’s 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 Silver’s 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 Malleus’s greatness.
Trey and Cater confirm that they were roommates as first and second year students.
When Leona was a first year, one of his roommate’s alarms went off and it was so loud that he smashed it to smithereens.
Lilia and Malleus’s rooms are currently located next to each other.
