The other person then counters with murder. I'm assuming that 1: she doesn't know Hanners as much as she'd like to and 2: Her plan backfireded.

Krald:
I would to, certainly after the  May thing at Dale's place, after they had banged like, one time, telling Dale he cant let someone move into HIS apartment like she owns the place.... Brat.

Marigold has never demonstrated much of what I call 'social awareness'. She has no idea how to read people properly and she has a lot of trouble deciding if an when it is appropriate to push her own wants and desires (other than her overriding neurotic need to be anonymous and unseen).

Her RL social circle is basically just Momo, Dale and Hannelore with Marten, Dora and the rest of the CoD ladies at a first degree of separation via her immediate friends. There is also May who is essentially Dale's room-mate and to whom she owes a favour or two along the line but the two don't really like each other. So, let's be brutal here: Apart from Hannelore she knows no one who might be interested in moving in with her that she knows at much more than 'acquaintance' level.

At this stage, I've got a feeling that Jeph is planning to use the crisis of Angus' departure as the catalyst for a 'Girl Meet World' scenario where Marigold is thrown into the deep end of the real world and just has to sink or swim.

Neko_Ali:
Marigold has gotten better about the whole personal hygiene and cleaning part, but Hanners takes things to an extreme. She has toned that down as well since working at the coffee shop but she still is obsessive about cleaning. Not to mention some of her other habits like staying up for days until she has a psychotic episode and collapses from exhaustion. I really don't think Hanners is ready to be living with anyone else right now.

May would be an obvious choice of someone in the cast who needs a place but can't afford one on their own. Since she's basically couch surfing with Dale right now, he apparently has a one bedroom place. I doubt she could afford a half place on her own, but between her job at the store and Momo's job they can probably make up Angus' half of the rent. Momo could continue rooming with Marigold, or she and May could share Angus' old room, if they can stand living together.

Amir is an option, possibly. But it seems likely because I don't think he and Marigold have even met, and her thing is she doesn't want to live with a stranger. Marten would probably vouch for him... but that doesn't necessarily make him a good room mate. Other options were maybe Tai? She was living on campus before wasn't she? And now she's graduated. It could get Gabby back into the cast, but all the same problems with Amir are there with Gabby as well.

BenRG:
Well, Marigold has got a month to work something out. As I've already said, I suspect that Jeph is setting this up for a Marigold arc, her learning to deal with social interaction with strangers and accepting that someone is going to be coming into her life whose only prior contact with her is responding to a Craigslist ad and several written references from previous roomies/landlords.

Regarding time-frame, I suspect that this is Monday evening. Marten talking to Faye the evening after his Monday shift at the library just happened and now we've jumped scene to Marigold visiting Hanners. I just don't think it is credible that Marigold would have waited a whole day (all of Monday and into Tuesday) to talk to Hannelore about this; she'd be too anxious about Angus moving out and would be looking looking for help, reassurance and a quick solution.
