File Relocation (Open to Rm 402)

[Navi Holmes]

After having to extract herself from the computer tower carried precariously by the recruiter that had brought her here into the dorm room, Navi was exhausted. It was barely past three, and she'd effectively "slept" the entire ride from New York, but every muscle in her body felt weighted down and she was just so tired. Barely had the computer parts been set on the provided desk when the recruiter had to leave, and Navi thanked the Japanese man sleepily before going to set up the devices and get herself unpacked.

She'd be here for a long time, after all, and all her night clothes were under the regular ones. Plus, her other boxes were left here, ready to be opened. And the bed needed to be made. And she needed to find her Bible. And... and...

Navi let out a loud yawn, rubbing at her eyes as she plugged in the tower, monitor, and speakers into a power strip the computer teacher had provided for her after helping her out. He was a really nice guy, if a little eccentric. What was his name? C.... it started with a "C", she thought. But the preteen couldn't really remember right now; she'd figure it out in the morning. She had to thank him again, after all - he'd been really nice.

Turning on the computer parts, the African-American girl stared at the flashing lights blearily for a long moment until the start-up screen appeared, then left the electronics to start digging around for her comforter and pillows. While the bed was supplied with cursory things, the sheets wouldn't be enough. Besides, the blue-yellow tartan patterned blanket smelled like home; maybe it'd help her sleep.

So tired was she that the young girl didn't even realize that she'd left the door open, nor that she had roommates. Nor that one (or more) had just returned to the dorm.

[Haley Shapiro]

Haley couldn't remember ever being this tired. Had she over-exerted herself today? Slowly, she rolled her arms in it's socket, cricking her neck every now and then to remove the tension that had apparently built up in her small form the past few hours. She was just hoping she could just get back to her room so she could sleep.

She hadn't gotten the note that they were expecting a new roommate which was Why she Almost just walked right by the open room.

Doing a double take, she trailed backwards with one arm straining to reach her back.

"Ah Christ...a new roommate." She grumbled before walking off to her room and slamming the door.

No way was she going to entertain anybody tonight. Not when she was already so cranky. Well, to be fair, even if she wasn't cranky, she wouldn't entertain anybody who wasn't Lani anyway.

She jumped on to the bed, kicking her shoes off to the floor and closed her eyes to sleep.

[OOC: Sorry Navi! Haley is just not up for entertaining anybody]

[Navi Holmes]

((OOC: xD No worries, Haley! There's bound to be another meetup later!))


The words managed to drift past Navi as if she hadn't even heard them (which, in her state, she probably hadn't), but the slamming of one of the other doors made her jump slightly, looking around as her heart thudded against her ribs. What was that?

Standing, the dark-skinned girl moved away from the half-unpacked box and looked out through the open door of her room in the dorm, brown eyes looking about the empty commons curiously. She didn't see anyone... Could someone have come back without saying "hello"? All of the other doors were still closed, so that seemed kind of likely. Or maybe... maybe she'd left the front door of the room open and someone had shut it?

Either way, it didn't look like anyone was here, so Navi sighed and leaned against the door frame for a moment, rubbing her eyes. Or maybe I'm just hearing things.

[Maria Mason]

Maria was moving into a new dorm. She just couldn't stand her dormmates anymore. She sighed. Moving into a new dorm was a pain. She had to drag everything she had down to room 402. 'None of the other girls from my old dorm would even help' she thought bitterly. Maria really hoped that these dorm mates were a lot nicer.

She found the door she was looking for. She wondered if anyone was in there. Maria was afraid that the door was locked. How long would she have to wait if that was the case? She shook her head. She opened the door and quickly dragged her cloths in. It seemed empty. 'It can't be. The door would be locked otherwise' she said. She licked her lips. Where was an empty bed? She closed the door and walked to see if anyone was here. She saw a girl near a computer. "Hey. Do you know where I can put my cloths and stuff" she said, very nervous.

[Navi Holmes]

Hearing another person's voice made Navi jump, and she turned around to see another girl standing there with boxes of stuff. "Umm..." Well, drat. "I um... I just here myself..." she replied, looking around outside her room. There didn't seem to be anyone else in there with them, so she stepped out of the doorway and looked in another door.

"Here - this one looks empty." There wasn't anything on the walls, or even a clock on the utilitarian nightstand. The little girl turned and smiled at the newcomer. "I'm Navi. Navi Holmes. I just moved in here, too." She held out her hand for a handshake.

"So... what do you do, if you don't mind me asking."

[Maria Mason]

Maria smiled. "I'm Maria. I hope you and any other dorm mates won't be as annoying as my last ones" she said. She put her suitcases on her new bed. She turned and shook the girls' hand. "I can manipulate ice. I try to freeze a room but still can't manage that yet. What do you do? I'm curious. You don't have to answer that if you don't want to" she said. She sat on her bed, not feeling in the mood to put anything away.

[Navi Holmes]

Annoying dormmates? Well, that sounded a bit pretentious, now, didn't it? Navi shook her hand firmly and let the girl settle on the bed while she hung out in the doorway. She hadn't been invited in, after all.

"Umm... well, I'm pretty good with computers," she explained cautiously. Most people wouldn't know how her powers worked if she explained them in technojargon, so she had to be careful about what she said. "I can teleport into computers and alter programs. Sort of like a program myself." Or a virus, she didn't add.

"Where'd you come from?" the younger girl asked curiously. "I mean, before coming here." She'd only just arrived today, so everyone was new to her - everyone had an origin story. Since Maria was willing to talk to her, it seemed like a good time to get to know a roommate. "I'm from all over, but my dad lives in New York now - he said he'd drive over and pick my up for the holidays, but most of the time we Skype."
