Well, This Sucks…. [Nora]

[Kasen Yandow]

Kasen already didn't like Hammel. Some crummy recruiter just appeared to scoop her off to just where he came from, the middle of nowhere. Worse yet, a school. An actual fricken school! She hadn't been to one in years, and had no intention of enrolling anytime soon. But no. The recruiter-dude didn't even give her an option. It was "hey kid pack up your crap, you're going to a school for freaks." Granted, he didn't say it like that, but it sure felt that way for the young girl.

To add to her dismay, Kasen was going to be living in a dorm. With complete strangers. What if they blew up her stuff with their power or had no respect for privacy?! Even with her power, Kasen couldn't keep her eyes on the roommates all the time, if she was out it could be possible that they take a look around her room. She didn't want to put up with some annoying brat.

Stepping into the common room of her assigned dorm, 214, Kasen took a look around. It looked like an ordinary living room if she ever saw one. A television sat in front of a couch and a couple doors on opposite walls, obviously each leading to a bedroom. She went to a door that looked blank and very unused, inside the room was also very vacant. The walls were clean and white, the curtains pulled, and the bed had unused sheets without as little as wrinkle in it. She was all for a clean environment, especially bedrooms and bathrooms, but the freakishly blank white room almost seemed to mock the albino girl. Thus, she plopped her bags on the bed and returned to the common room with a scowl.

She stepped through, looking around. Was there even anyone else here?

[Nora Graves]

Nora's roommates had graduated and needless to say she'd actually had the place to herself for a while, which was nice. (She was sure neither of her old roommates liked her anyway). Honestly, she was hoping it would stay that way. She didn't understand why Hammel couldn't have single rooms. No, they just had to encourage befriending your peers. But what if she didn't want to?

Scratch that, she just didn't want to be at Hammel at all.

She was heading back from her cooking lab, chocolate chip cookie in hand and one bite taken out of it, crumbs falling down the front of her Avenged Sevenfold long sleeved shirt. Headphones were over her ears and her music was on a fairly loud volume, making it impossible to hear anybody, just as she liked it.

She opened the door to the common room and was ready for a night of lounging and not giving a shit, but it seemed that Hammel had other plans for her. As usual. She stopped, mid-bite into the cookie and stared at the girl looking around the common room. She was so pale that Nora thought she might disappear into the walls. "Uh, are you lost?" she asked, her music still blaring in her ears.

[Kasen Yandow]

The second the door to the hallway opened, Kasen's head whipped around. While she had no idea what kind of weirdo to expect to be her roommate, she was a bit surprised at the presence of a girl with a half eaten cookie and headphones loud enough for the albino to hear a muffled beat. Was this her dorm buddy?

A question was asked. Not even a 'hello,' or 'hi.' Just "uh, are you lost?" If she was lost what was she doing in a dorm? Really. Kasen almost took it for being rhetorical, there was really only one reason for her to be here. Still, she shook her head no and answered. "No. I'm living in this dorm now." She almost added 'godforsaken' in her answer, but her annoyed tone should've given the girl an idea of how she felt about this.

"I take it you're in this dorm too?" While she had a a gut feeling the answer was yes she asked anyways. Maybe the older girl was from another room down the hall, and watched her walk in? God. Please don't let that be the truth. She didn't was a freaking stalker as a neighbor. Kasen didn't really want her, or anybody for that matter, to be rooming with her, but for god's sake no creeps for neighbors either!

[Nora Graves]

Nora could tell by her tone of voice that she wasn't happy about being here, and really who was? If Nora got stuck with someone who wanted to be at Hammel, she'd probably lose it. Sure, everyone was annoying to her, but that was really annoying. How could you have a good attitude about being whisked away to a school for meta-humans?

"Yep," she muttered. "Unfortunately." Her headphones were around her neck now. What? She could be somewhat polite. Besides, the music was still extremely loud from her headphones. And sadly the girl wasn't lying, she did have a roommate.

Nora heaved a sigh and took another bite of her cookie, eyes narrowing at the pale girl. Was it even possible to be that...white?

[Kasen Yandow]

Kasen nodded to her answer. Of course she was her roommate, and she seemed equally unhappy about being here. The albino girl couldn't blame her for that. She may not want a brat for a roommate, but she'd rather put up with one than with some happy-go-lucky idiot.

She could feel the other girl's eyes narrow at her. By now Kasen was used to getting looked at funny, and she only replied by straightening up her back proudly. "What? It's rude to stare." It really was, and if the girl didn't like Kasen's complexion she could just suck it up, cause it wasn't going to change anytime soon.

Crossing her arms she add, "my name is Kasen. Not 'you' or any of that sort of crap." She didn't like nicknames, and she didn't like being 'that kid' or 'hey you.'

[Nora Graves]

"Sorry, yeah I've heard that before. But I'm really not used to seeing someone like you around, alright?" Nora rolled her eyes. She got offended so quickly and while Nora knew it was rude to stare at someone like they were a science experiment, she couldn't stop herself. Although she supposed she saw weirder. This was Hammel after all. "Is that your power? Turning transparent?" She asked it in all seriousness, actually. It could be a thing, but she didn't realize she was probably upsetting her new roommate, which might have subconsciously been her goal.

She narrowed her eyes further. "Gotcha. Kasen. Setting ground rules rather quickly. You haven't even moved in."

[Kasen Yandow]

With a sigh, Kasen shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "Alright." At least she apologized. That wasn't a bad sign. It didn't seem like the girl was going to be a heartless bitch. Maybe Kasen could manage to tolerate roommates. As long as she didn't have to interact with them on a constant basis.

"Transparent...?" The girl looked down at herself. She knew she was pale, but was did she really look see through? She her gaze went back to the girl. "Um, no. I'm as opaque as can be, thank you very much." She spoke proudly with her chin turned up a little. Still Kasen wrapped her arms around herself. As much as a person could get used to getting looks for being albino, asking if her power was transparency was a little surprising.

The girl's latest comment made the albino's hands move to her hips. "Setting rules? No. I just like to be called by my name. Who're you?"

[Nora Graves]

Sure, the girl wasn't totally transparent, but Nora had never seen anybody this pale before and she conjured up in her mind that it had to be because of her power. "Alright, then what's your power? If it's not transparency..." She had to give it to Kasen though, she seemed proud about it and she was snarky in her responses. "I have a feeling I'm being highly unoriginal which isn't something I normally shoot for. I am, aren't I? I bet you get this a lot. People looking at you like you're an alien and making jokes."

"Well, it wasn't as if I was going to call you that transparent girl or something." Kasen didn't seem to have much faith in humanity, but then again, neither did Nora. "I'm Nora." There was no way she was telling her that her name was Eleanor.
