Notes:

So that thing turned into this thing and now.

Chapter Text

Stuck to the fridge in the kitchen is a sheet of paper with ‘House Rules’ printed across the top. 17 printed rules then run down, as well as additions scribbled in pen, permanent marker and, rather bizarrley, Japanese calligraphy pen. The rule written with the latter is, suitably, in Japanese. It says パンケーキが触るません から, なぜなら、あなた上に座りいます。三年間、日本語を勉強しています。ごめんごめん!

Grantaire had added it, after several incidents he had no desire to ever repeat.

The oringnal printed rules went as follows:

  1. No sleeping in the nude
  2. No locks on doors (and in ballpoint pen) USE THE SOCK SYSTEM
  3. Adhere to chore wheel or die
  4. -Penalty for forgetting groceries is extra shopping weeks- FORGET THE GROCERIES AND BE EATEN HANNIBAL-STYLE
  5. No sex on communal furniture (in pen) ***unless it's with each other
  6. If you’re going to smoke (tobacco or otherwise) do it in your room and open the goddamn windows
  7. Anyone found playing Britney Spears or Ke$ha at excessive volumes no matter whose fault it is will have their music playing device forcibly removed for 2 weeks. (in sharpie) THIS INCLUDES COURFEYRAC
    i dont even live here tho
    IRRELEVANT
  8. TV usage is to be decided on a majority rules basis. We have high speed internet for a reason, people. By extension, don’t use the xbox unless Grantaire has given explicit permission. (crossed out in red pen) so only enjolras gets to use it then amirtie
  9. No experimental cooking in the house unless someone else is supervising.
  10. COMBEFERRE IS NOT PERMITTED TO COOK in which case he takes doubles of dish drying
  11. ENJOLRAS, COMBEFERRE AND BAHOREL HAVE ALL LOST THEIR BAKING LICENCES BY ORDER OF COSETTE AND GRANTAIRE AND ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE BAKED GOODS only once they have reached 10 recipes experience on  their baking learners permit under strict supervision of an experienced baker may they bake freely again.
  12. No unheadphoned instruments between 11pm and 7am on weekdays and 12am and 11am on weekends. Electric or otherwise. Bahorel that includes your drums.
  13. He is allowed to wake you with excessive bass drumming should you still be asleep at 12, however.
  14. DO NOT LEAVE USED CONDOMS IN THE BATHROOM. EVER. SEE ALSO RULE ABOUT SEX AND COMMUNAL THINGS PLEASE AND THANKS.
  15. Doors exist to be knocked upon. Knock thou, and nip trouble in the bud.
  16. Lock the fucking door if you leave okay swiper no swiping
  17. Oh and if you could leave the plant watering to Grantaire that would be A+ okay guys

 

Notes:

Very rough translation of the Japanese: Do not touch my pancakes because I will sit on you. I have only studied Japanese for 3 years sorry sorry!!
Google translate is a liar!!
