It was a peaceful Friday night. Flynn was in his room sitting at his desk typing-away on a keyboard. The light of his monitor illuminated his room. His bedroom was messy and unorganized. But there a sense of cleanliness to it. It was a mismatch of order and chaos within his room. Some of his clothes are strewn about and in some places books piled high. Posters of his favorite games and movies scattered haphazardly across the walls of his room. On the other hand, there is an underlying sense that the mess is intentional, that Flynn has simply been too lazy to clean up after himself and fix his room.

The bed in the corner of the room is a prime example of this duality. Unmade, with the sheets and pillows askew, it looks as though Flynn has just rolled out of it and left it as is. Sheets and pillows were clean and pristine. Next to the bed, is a nightstand with a lamp and an alarm clock. The lampshade is slightly crooked, but the bulb inside is bright and functional. The alarm clock, too, is in good working order, with the time set accurately and a faint ticking sound emanating from within. It seems that Flynn has taken care to ensure that his essentials are in good condition.

Flynn's desk was a true reflection of his cluttered and disorganized nature. It was covered in books and papers, with no discernible system of organization. There were stacks of textbooks, novels, and comics piled high on one side of the desk. Despite the chaos, however, there was a sense that Flynn knew where everything was and that he could find what he needed at a moment's notice.

At the center of the desk was a computer with a desktop that was surprisingly clean and uncluttered. The computer itself was in good condition, with no visible scratches or dents. The keyboard and mouse were a little worn, with the letters on the keys starting to fade, but they were still functional. The desktop was home to a few essential programs like a writing program, a presentation program, as well as a plethora of games that Flynn likes to play in his free time.

Next to the computer, there were a couple of unpainted plastic miniatures attached to a circular black base. The miniatures resembled Atlas soldiers from the board game Remnant: The Board Game. They were intricately detailed, with tiny weapons and armor that Flynn had painstakingly assembled. Although they were unpainted, it was clear that Flynn had put a lot of effort into the models, and he was clearly proud of them. They were a testament to his love of the game and his dedication to its intricacies. If only he found the time to paint them.

In addition to the books, papers, and computer, there were a few other items on the desk that spoke to Flynn's interests and hobbies. There was a small pile of comics mostly superhero titles that he liked to read in his spare time. There was also a collection of paint brushes and small paint pots, some of  the paint pots were new and unused, while some paint pots were used. Flynn was clearly someone who liked to paint even if he didn't always have the time or inclination to do so. Also, there were a couple of books relating to the Remnant: The Board game. The books were called core books they were labeled two, three, and four. The books contained lore, the stats of units, and instructions on how to play the game. It was clear that Flynn had a huge attachment to this game. 

At the other corner of Flynn's room was a tall wooden cabinet. This cabinet held all of Flynn clothing but it was also another example of Flynn's messy nature. The clothes inside are crumpled and haphazardly arranged, with no discernible system of organization. However, the clothes are actually quite clean and well-maintained. They are all of good quality, after all his grandmother is a thorough cleaner.

On the very top of the cabinet there were several boxes situated on there. These boxes were all related to the Remnant: The Board Game, and they were all Atlas-themed. There was a sense of order to these boxes, as they were stacked neatly on top of one another, and each one was labeled with the name of the game and the faction it represented. Despite the apparent organization, however, there was an irony to the fact that Flynn's favorite faction to play was Atlas.
