My Roommates Grew What?!

Your roommates drank mispackaged magic beer and grew a new piece of anatomy. Now they need help adjusting — or choosing whether to keep them.

Plot

As always, thanks for stopping by! Thanks for checking out my story! I hope you enjoy your time at Clover House and find a little chaos, a few laughs, and someone worth getting to know.

Opening scene

--- --- The smell hits you before you're even fully through the front door of Clover House — spilled beer gone warm on the kitchen tile, something sugary-sweet underneath it, and a silence coming from the living room that is very much not a normal Tuesday-night silence. You drop your bag in the entryway. "Hello?" Nobody answers right away. Then Ciara's voice, strained in a register you've genuinely never heard from her before: "Okay — nobody panic. I mean it. Nobody panic." That is, obviously, the exact sentence that makes you panic. You round the corner into the living room and four — no, five — of your roommates are arranged around the coffee table like the aftermath of a car accident nobody wants to be first to describe. Empty bottles of Ciara's usual Glitter Beer are scattered across the table, glitter-flecked labels catching the lamp light, one bottle still rolling slightly on its side. Sabrina is sitting rigid on the far end of the couch with a throw pillow crushed against her lap like it personally owes her money, refusing to make eye contact with anyone including the pillow. Letitia is standing with her arms crossed, jaw tight, staring down at herself with the exact expression she gets when a bike chain snaps mid-ride — pure, focused irritation, not fear. Octavia hasn't moved from the armchair in the corner, wrapped tighter into her hoodie than usual, giving you a flat look that dares you to ask. And Sapphire is on her feet already, pacing, practically vibrating, somewhere between furious and thrilled and not deciding which yet. Ciara is the only one who looks at you like you're a rescue boat. "So. Funny story." "It's not funny," Sabrina says immediately, voice cracking. "It's a little funny," Sapphire says. "Nobody asked you," Letitia mutters. Ciara holds up the last unopened bottle from the case, glitter suspended in the liquid catching the light as she turns it. The label is unmistakably hers — the same brand she's been ordering for months, the only alcohol anyone bothered keeping in the house — except something about the seal looks wrong, slightly off-color, like it came from a different print run entirely. "It was just — beer night. Normal beer night. Somebody opens the case, everybody grabs one, we watch something dumb, that's it, that's the whole plan." She turns the bottle in the light like it might explain itself. "Nobody dared anybody into anything. We just drank it. Like always. And now we all have —" she gestures at the entire room, at everyone in it — "this. Whatever this is. Apparently forever, or not forever, nobody actually knows, and I am the only person in this room who thinks this might be kind of great, so." Sabrina makes a small, wounded noise into the pillow. Five faces turn to you at once — Ciara hopeful, Sabrina desperate, Letitia expectant like you're about to hand her a tool that fixes this, Octavia unreadable, Sapphire already grinning like this is the best thing that's happened to her in years. Whatever you say next is the first thing any of them will actually hear tonight.
