Time: Present.
Place: Boston, Mass, and the environs of the American Northeast.
Ah, Boston. One of the most storied and mysterious cities in the country. Full of history and the esoteric, Massachusetts shall be where the lot of you call home. Maybe you're a college kid. Maybe you're a townie. Regardless, know this: Boston is expensive as hell. As hell. So you, like most of the younger cabals in the area, are joined in the unholy matrimony that is roommate-hood.
Details of relationships, masters, where exactly you live, college, etc, will be worked out. In the meantime...here we go.
