Swerve had never had a roommate, never even came close to having one, and for the longest time he didn't think he'd ever get one. It was disappointing and lonely as hell, but it was a fact he'd just learned to accept. But now he was suddenly getting a roommate, another minibot who'd recently joined the Lost Light crew on their quest, Jitter. While Swerve was excited at finally having a roommate, he was also nervous. Very, very nervous.

What if they ended up not being able to stand him once they got to know him better? When they realized that his motormouth qualities weren't just part of a "friendly chatty bartender" act? Swerve tried to stamp down his rising anxiety at the thought. Worrying and overthinking would likely just make things worse, it almost always did. And yet, here he was, tapping the tops of his fingers and working himself up.

Swerve leaned against the wall just outside his door and hoped he'd be able to get himself calmed down, at least a little bit, by the time Jitter showed up with their things. Though seeing as they had arrived on the ship with very little, Swerve wasn't sure if Jitter even had very many things to gather up. He doubted he'd have much time to actually calm down enough to seem casual.

"Come on, come on, you're just overthinking things," He tried talking to himself, hoping it'd help, but the nervous edge in his voice was painfully noticeable. "It's just a roommate, not the end of the world, come on."

Jitter was pretty nervous about the move himself. It was a big step to move in with someone, especially someone he'd only really had one conversation with and that conversation had been to ask if Swerve was interested in having a roommate. Before he knew it, he'd found himself back in the infirmary to pick up the very few things that had been saved from the escape pod he'd been found on and bring them to the room. All he had, really, was a couple of datapads and a single picture of him with the other archives. It was a pitiful armful, the only things he'd been able to grab when Herodatus shoved him into the pod that had saved his life. It hadn't taken him long to pick up his things.

Finding the room was the difficult part. Jitter wandered through hallways and caught an elevator or two, stopped and asked directions once or twice. Eventually, though, he found himself in front of the door of room 43. His spark pulsed nervously as he stood there for a moment, psyching himself up. He was used to having a roommate, having shared with Trencadis back on their ship, but now he was rooming with someone who was essentially still a stranger to him, after millions of years with his fellow archive. What if this didn't work out? Velocity had assured Jitter that Swerve had a good spark, but there was little else he knew about Swerve. It was possible that Swerve wouldn't like him, that maybe Jitter's lack of social skills might be a turn-off for someone who was a talker, as Velocity had described the other minibot.

Or maybe Jitter's nerves were getting the best of him.

Now or never. Jitter didn't know who else he could room with and he didn't want to disappoint Swerve by backing out. So he reached out and knocked on the door. "Swerve? It's Jitter."
