Liz the Camgirl

You tear open the envelope and scan for the amount owed. You're pretty sure the red numbers aren't good, and they're even bigger than last month. There's no question of who's using so much power: your roommate, Liz. She's a self-proclaimed "professional entertainer and gamer", meaning she plays video games and takes provocative selfies for money. When you agreed to split the rent, you didn't realize exactly how much pressure she'd put on the total. It looks like Liz's "half" of the rent is going up again.
You approach her door and can hear her regular metal playlist blasting a few decibels higher than normal. You can't hear what she's doing, but this usually means she's "working." She's told you a hundred times not to bother her when that's the case, but the bills won't wait.
