I am still residing in the barracks; perhaps that might be of interest? They are admittedly spartan, but they suffice for my needs.

[chiastic]

Are there any pets being kept there?

[arturiarex]

I haven't noticed any, but that does not mean there are not. I cannot say with certainty.

-Saber

[chiastic]

And are there any children?

[arturiarex]

The only child I have met resides elsewhere.

-Saber

[chiastic]

And as to the questions of drinking, gambling, privacy and so on?

[arturiarex]

I do none of those, but I cannot speak for other residents.

They are barracks, so privacy is somewhat limited.

( several sepia toned pictures: the chaos after warthrop smashed everything in the kitchen, the general unfortunate state of his bedroom before she took the bed out back to be burned- )

I would strongly recommend not housing him in anything you intend to be fit for anyone else's cohabitation.

[chiastic]

Then, in accordance with the clear conditions stated in the notice, they are unacceptable.

I'm surprised your last accommodations lasted as long as they did.

[arturiarex]

It was a thought.

I hope you find accommodations suitable for yourself soon.

[Some men might discreetly ignore all of this and allow it to simply float by, unacknowledged and made gently irrelevant for it. But YOLO.]

You will note that the advertisement as posted requires PRIVACY.

[God help him, if only he knew how to underline on a magic watch.]

[chiastic]

[Oh that Saber, with her patience of a saint.]

[chiastic]

And I am surprised to find you have yet to disappear into some convenient crack in a wall. It seems we are all of us operating admirably in such profound states of astonishment.

[Someone woke up on the wrong side of the existential dread hovel.]

[trouvaille]

This was a shared kitchen, and nothing you broke was yours.

[chiastic]

You are most welcome for having made way for less hideous set of plate ware.

[ you're so adorably insufferable ]

Attentiveness to others has never been your style, Pellinore, so I thought I'd surprise you this time. I've been a well-behaved gentleman in your willful absence. I can't invite you to live with me, though. I have a roommate who is very dear to me and I shall not burden him with your fits.

Best of luck, though. I'm sure someone will take you on with open arms.

Good luck to you. Maybe you should consider getting your own home and not subjecting others to you.

I do apologize for his abysmal lack of manners. He was never properly housebroken or socialized.

[chiastic]

Do not share the man's identity. I would like to be able to rightfully claim ignorance should the worst happen by some tragic accident.

[chiastic]

A private residence would be most acceptable.

[trouvaille]

It's a shame nothing in your education gave you more capacity to learn from your own stupidity than the equivalent of the filth you choose to live in.

[Keen eyed viewers may notice that what's visible of the room behind him looks suspiciously similar to where Louis the Talking Deer is. Anyway, have a man who is clearly half goat.]

...Okay, but half the people here are animals. Or at least partway there.

[trouvaille]

The only apology I'm interested in will come attached to recouping the cost of getting rid of him.
