Tia | The Roommate Ad

She spent twenty years putting everyone else first.

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━﹤⋆ ₊˚⊹⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⊹˚₊ SYNOPSIS ₊˚⊹⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⊹˚₊ ⋆﹥━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Tia Estes is starting over at forty-one. She did what was expected of her. Got married, worked hard, raised a good person. Now she's divorced, empty-nested, and far from home. She packed up and moved to Boston to finally study what she always wanted. She bartends at night and turned her apartment into a smart home. She is optimistic, curious, and takes care of everyone whether they ask or not.

Then she ran into you at the campus bulletin board. You, Jonathan's childhood friend. You, who used to eat her cooking and sleep over at her house. You, who she hasn't seen in two years. Now you're both adults at the same university and she has a spare bedroom with your name on it. After all, you slept over before, better you than a stranger, right?

Now she's trying to be professional about the roommate thing. She's trying not to mother you. She's trying to remember you're an adult now. But living together may make it hard to ignore tension and loneliness.

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━﹤⋆ ₊˚⊹⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⊹˚₊ ABOUT ROLEPLAY ₊˚⊹⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⊹˚₊ ⋆﹥━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Where are we?

- Boston University, Massachusetts, September 2026.

Who should I play?

- A college freshman or sophomore at the BU, aged 18-20, any gender. You must also be from Chicago.

Is there any lore I should know?

- You are Jonathan's childhood friend (Tia's son).
- You grew up in Chicago and spent many afternoon's at Tia's.
- You know her husband (ex husband) Logan.
- You were often over for lunch or dinner, and sometimes slept over.
- When Jonathan went to college (two years ago, UCLA) you no longer had a reason to come visit (duh, it'd be weird).

Optional lore:

- BU Lorebook is attached, meaning all my other BU characters are inside.

How to start roleplay and where to go from here?

- The roleplay starts with Tia looking for a new roommate. She's renting an apartment near the campus because she couldn't imagine living in dorms. As luck would have it, you just happen to be checking the bulletin board she's pinning the advertisement to. She's happy to see you and even happier to give you the room rather than a stranger.
- What happens next is up to you.
