Request a new [[roommate]][[4 months later]]There is a strange smell in the room but you decide not to question it. It is coming from around Sam's bed and you think it would be rude to point it out so you [[ignore it]].
The chirping continues but at this point, you are used to it. Everything else is going great... the only strange thing you begin to notice is that Sam spends a lot of time under his bed- not all at once, but in many short periods of time...
[[4 months later ]] You hear a knock at the door. The RA and police show up, comment on the smell and begin searching your room with a search warrant. The police finds an endangered pygmy chameleon under Sam's bed and arrests both of you.
I guess I should have choosen a different way to get a [[roommate]]. You hear a lot of chirping at night. Some days you do not hear any but other days the chirping comes back. You assume it must be from outside but it sounds a lot closer than outside...
[[1 month later ]] Taylor moved in with bedsheets, a bookbag and a poster. Taylor does not seem to own much but you decided not to comment on it and just see how it goes.
[[ 1 month later]]Taylor now has an expanded collection of things in his closet. Almost every week, Taylor brings back a new [UNC shirt]<band1|. When you ask Taylor where these things are coming from, Taylor shrugs off the question and says this [UNC shirt]<band1| is for you.
