>You're being moved

So they're going through with that now? They found someone in the 3 day span? That fast?

>>93193871
There's usually a waiting list of people wanting to move out of their room and into some other room at any dorm

>>93193798
It's been approximately nine days in real-world time since Amber killed Ryan.

As for Billie/Ruth, this is still so unhealthy that it's borderline suicide-pact. I'm pretty sure Panel Two is also Willis handwaving that "Oh, Billie is getting moved out, but it's not like she won't be out of the comic entirely" or whatever. It's magic; I ain't gotta explain shit.

Ultimately, it's just a whole lotta nothing again. There is no reason to be dragging any of this along for as long as it has.

>>93193871
I'm still going to assume that Billie will remain on the wait list for as long as possible until Willis can think of a story that allows her to endure the pain of separation AGAIN while also ending with Billie not actually needing to be moved out, or whatever.

>>93193798
im trying to think of who we even know that isnt on their floor already and all ive got is malaya. who probably wants to move out of her room because she already hates her roommate.
are malaya and sal gonna end up roommates? is that where this is going?

it also could be raidah but then raidah would have to have an existence outside of "girl that sarah hates"

>>93193798
Amber didn't murder Ryan.

She has him tied up somewhere and is going to torture him into confessing, cause that's the kinda lame shit Willis would think is bad-ass.

>>93194024
It could be one of the two new characters that Willis created and posted to the Tumblr.

>>93193913
There's no rule that students HAVE to sleep in their dorms night by night, or that students can't have people in their room for the night.

As long as Ruth is no longer Billie's superior in the school's eyes, the two are fine to have a relationship. Meaning Billie will probably just end up sleeping in Ruth's room constantly and still pretty much being part of the floor. She just officially lives somewhere else on campus.

So basically this is just Willis keeping everything the same, except Billie can fuck Ruth without any consequence.

>>93194110
Where I went to college, you had to check in your ID to visit someone else's dorm. If they see you checked in for more than 3 days at a time, they start to question it and wonder about cohabitation. It's mostly a system in place to prevent people like Becky from doing what she was doing.

>>93193798
So how much wistful allusions to Ruth's tyrannical ways are we gonna get?

>>93194307
I don't think Willis has ever shown them sneaking Becky in and out of the dorm.

>>93194455
Yeah, that implies that they don't have a system in place to prevent squatters. They notice Becky around all the time on the floor, but there's never been anything about her in the building.

So everything with Billie is fabricated drama.

>>93193798
She moved in and out of Ruth's place once each. And maybe she moved back in during this waiting list period, but that would've been a really unnecessary move.

>>93194307
Most schools have rules like that, but in most schools there's no problem if Ruth just escorts Billie in and she's not with Ruth literally every night. But, to the reader she might as well just be living with Ruth if that's what Willis ends up doing with it.

>>93194024
None of the guys live on the floor, right?

Billie moving is a huge nothing except for Billie and Ruth's insane and unhealthy attachment to each other.

Read hall is an X shape with 4 wings, 2 for boys and 2 for girls. And apparently you can just walk from one to the other without any sort of barrier. Now that it has become a thing, I mentally took a check and all the main characters are on floor 3: Beck wing for boys and Clark wing for girls.

For a while Amber and Billie used the men's elevator to avoid Sal and Ruth respectively, and Mary's boys' dorm comment works because she was literally leading Carla there.

>>93193798
This is such a pathetic attempt at forced drama, even for Willis.

1. Billie moving out of the dorm makes their relationship EASIER since it means they can sleep together without violating school policy. Billie doesn't have to sneak into Ruth's room. Ruth can invite her in as a guest and neither Mary nor anyone else can say shit.

2. Why does Ruth have to be nice to anyone? She's untouchable thanks to her Grandad, who for some reason wields tremendous influence at this Indiana public university. At no point is it ever mentioned that Ruth has to be nicer to people as a condition of her continued employment. Her manager already worshiped the ground she walked on before she was committed and her grandfather's relationship with the school further cements Ruth's status as a made woman.

3. BILLIE'S MOVING DOWN THE STREET. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ANYONE MISS HER? NO ONE HAS TO MISS HER, BUT EVEN IF THEY DID, IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'S REALLY GONE. FUCK YOU, WILLIS, YOU HACK.

>taking Walky to the boy's dormitory, where he belongs
Oh hell no

I always learn something new about how different US universities are when I read these threads.

At mine in the UK... you have a keycard that opens just about any door in the university except private student houses, apartments and rooms, which you have a key for. If people are in houses or apartments they can choose to be in single sex ones, but not many people do and certainly there aren't whole wings or floors which are single sex. Nobody gives a shit where anyone goes.

>>93195858
Generally speaking, at US universities your student ID will double as a keycard and during regular hours you don't need it to enter most buildings.

>>93196237
Yeah, that's actually the same. But still, nobody gives a shit who anyone with a card or a key lets into dorms. We don't have anything like RAs either, thank fuck.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for them?

I don't.

>>93193798
Oh hey wow she hasn't changed at all.
Guess "redemption isn't real" girl had a point.

>>93196290
This is my entire experience of reading DoA. Every single character is unlikeable so it's actually enjoyable watching bad things happen to them.

>>93196310
And then there's that point where you want Ruth and Billie to be separated because it will make them unhappy, but it loops back around to wanting them to realize how unhealthy their relationship is and break up, which is to some extent hoping for something good to happen, in its own sick little way.

>>93196268
In my experience RA's are someone you'd never have to deal with unless you sought them out. I don't think I ever saw one of my RA's.

I just want Mary to fuck Carla, Joe to fuck Sarah, Danny, Ethan, and Sal to have a three-way, and Joyce and Jacob to have a loving and successful relationship.

You seem to have made a mistake, this comic is not an accurate representation of college in any country or dimension.

>>93196893
The lack of similarities to real life isn't apparent at first, because it has a facade of realism that combines with a reasonable suspension of disbelief. It's most noticeable when the stakes suddenly raise. Like when Walky, for no reason, panics and regresses, running away from class as if his breakthrough with Dorothy hadn't occurred at all.

>>93193798
so how long have they actually been together? like a month in story?

>>93194110
What are the exact dorm rules/layout for Bloomington anyway? Any alumni in the thread to fill us out?

Ok.
>Joe to fuck Sarah,
Sure.
>Danny, Ethan, and Sal to have a three-way, and
Noice.

>Joyce and Jacob to have a loving and successful relationship.
Whoa, this is lewd as fuck, anon! Do you type greetings to your mom with those fingers?

I'm not an alumni, but Google showed me this:
https://weareiu.com/blog/anne-rileys-blog/living-in-read-a-dorm-review

>The building is X-shaped with four wings: Clark, Beck, Landes, and Curry. Clark and Landes are the females' wings, and Beck and Curry are the males' wings. The wings are pretty sectioned-off just with the structure of the building, but if you live in Read and have a key to the doors, all of the wings and floors interconnect.

Also of note:
>There are seven floors in Read: the basement, the main floor, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Students live on floors 2-6. Floors 2-5 are all doubles for the most part, meaning you have a roommate, and the 6th floor is all singles.

So the problem isn't that Carla is living in the wrong dormitory wing, it's that she's living on the wrong floor entirely.

>>93195511
Hmm it's almost as if Willis is a terrible writer.
