MALIA ROUX’S ROOM ✼ CHARACTER AESTHETIC 002.
Malia’s walls lay bare still, nothing but smoke stains and flecks of dried paint cover the flashy wallpaper. There’s a mattress pushed to the corner of the furthest point of the room, an ungodly number of pillows piled up along with a couple blankets, a milkcrate beside it posing as a nightstand. She’d purposely chosen a room that was completely empty, something she could build up, something she could have her mess in, something she could flee from easily. Her clothes all hung haphazardly in the closet, all smelling of lilac perfume and menthol cigarettes. The carpet’s been ripped up, revealing the wood floor beneath it that much like the walls, is speckled with various colors of paint and stains from spray paint pieces gone rogue. There’s a large table in the corner of the room covered in art supplies, forgotten projects, canvases pile up all around, some unfinished, some unbought, and some completely blank still. Empty bottles of alcohol are found around, containing dead flowers, paint brushes, discarded cigarette butts, as well as various dime bags, empty pill bottles. The bathroom, which is to the right of the door is fairly pristine despite the counters, which too are covered in paint from hours cleaning brushes, half empty bottles of vodka line the mirror and various prescription pills are found in front of them, all labeled with different names from the people they’d been stolen from. The tub has various shampoos, body washes, soaps stacked along it’s edges, a painted rubber duckie named Todd balancing on the square facet.
