Freeing Sanctuary (Open)

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Ah, the pleasant silence of an empty dorm room. Lucah was sitting in the common room in the dorm. He had his poetry notebook open and was continuing to expand on the newest entry. It was still unnamed because Lucah couldn't come up with a unique, catchy name...that was in English anyway. Being Romanian put a bit of a damper on things. Especially when he was in an English-speaking nation. Occasionally he has a slip and may go off in a Romanian rant or just greet someone in Romanian. He just couldn't help it.

Lucah's dark brown hair fell in his eyes while he scanned the page reading over and over again the poem at hand. He just couldn't make sense while writing in English, sure he was fairly decent at speaking it, but when it came to writing...that was another story. To make matters worse, Lucah was trying to use proper writing instead of the slang terms that he has heard everywhere. Lucah hated slang. Romania barely had any slang, well at least where he grew up they didn't use much. Of course it could have had to do with the fact that he grew up in a rich community and he was taught to speak properly.

Lucah shook his head trying to focus on what he was doing. Sometimes writing became difficult because his mind was always buzzing. It seemed as though an overactive bee was buzzing around in his head all the time. It was getting ridiculous really.

Other than the inane chatter inside his head, Lucah's dorm was silent. Didn't he have roommates? According to a slip of paper he received he did. Where were they? Lucah frowned, why was he so interested in meeting some more Americanii prost (Stupid Americans)! He wasn't, it was as simple as that.

Unfortunately, Nin was the sort of roommate that often induced people to thank their lucky stars when he left the building. Chatterboxes were fine once in a while with most people, but chatterboxes ALL the time that you had to actually live around got old pretty fast, especially when there were five of them at a time. Add that to a lethal dose of absolute insipidity and you were left with Nin, and to say that he wasn't usually popular with roommates was an understatement, as evidenced by the simple fact that he hadn't even met the new one - and that he'd just been recently moved himself into 504.

Nin, when questioned about the 'altercation' that had been severe enough to warrant his dismissal, was pretty evasive about it, implying only that it involved a fork, a lighter, and the last can of Mountain Dew.

He'd really only been a tenant of this particular dorm for a little over a day, and he hadn't had the opportunity to at least wave idly at one of the other people he was sharing a common room with yet; Mr. Dahl wasn't much of a homebody and usually had a difficult enough time sleeping in the mess that habitually took over his appointed living space, much less actually functioning in it. Thus, he was out. A lot. Fortunately.


In severe contrast to the classy endeavors of the Romanian poet, Nintendo entered stage right in one of the most obnoxious manners known to man. "FEEEW TIMES I'VE BEEN ROUND THAT TRACK SO IT'S NOT JUST GONNA HAPPEN JUST LIKE THAT, CUZ I AIN'T NO HOLLABACK GIRL, I AIN'T NO HOLLABACK GI-" then, that awkward moment when one realizes that they'd been bellowing old Gwen Stefani songs sunk in, and his lips pulled back in a smile that was more of an embarrassed grimace, "-ohhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitheeeeeeeeeeereyeeah." Shouldering his backpack uncomfortably, he nevertheless crossed to hold out a hand to Lucah in greeting, his grin slightly more natural seconds later. "I guess we're roommates, huh?"

RUN AWAY WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TIME.

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Lucah heard a very unappealing noise that sounded like "nails on a chalk board" as these American's would say. It was deafening. When Luc looked up to see what it was coming from, half expecting a dying animal on his floor, he saw a boy with long blond hair walking in the dorm. Once the boy realized he had been caught singing he stopped...thank God! Lucah wasn't the nicest when it came to criticizing people. He's actually really cruel and brutal. To say that the boy's voice wasn't too horrible...well that just wasn't Lucah's style.


Lucah eyed the boy with his eyebrow raised. "Alo, I'm going to take a guess that you aren't the illusionist? Which would be Tom, so you'd be...Nico?" Lucah was a little caught off guard when he stuck his hand out. Well at least he had some manners in a way. Lucah stood up tall and took the boy's hand shaking it firmly just as his father had taught him. He didn't crush his hand of course, but it was close enough.

"It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm Lucah Ivaskov, preferably Luc. If I slip up and end up speaking in a different language, I apologize ahead of time. I tend to speak Romanian considering that's where I was born and raised." Lucah shrugged and sat back down closing his notebook quickly. He wasn't very open with his feelings in front of people, he wrote them. Whether it be in poetry or in music, that's how he expressed himself the most.

[Tom Rever]

Tom opened the door to the common room with a yawn, He had wondered what time it was as he rustled his hair. "O man is it time yet?" he asked himself as He wasted no time he scanned the room for any signs of human life . He'd found what he was looking for , people ,one he'd never seen before and one of his roommates , he rushed in in a fast pace as he sat down on the sofa , he fixated his vision on the new guy. His hair wasn't combed and went every which way ,
people who knew him knew this was a common thing for him. He wondered if he looked a little crazy to the new guy as he leaned toward him the red of his shirt almost like blood to the black sofas. His black boots russeled the ground slightly as he leaned he gave his roommate a slight nod .
He let out a moderate tone " Hello there, Don't think i've seen you before.." He looked at the new guy , He paused for a second thinking of what else to say as he introduced himself "My Name is Tom" Hopefully that broke the ice because Tom wasn't much of a people's person, he grabbed the remote and turned his attention toward the tv as he flicked it on "Hope you guys don't mind Criminal Minds is on" he flipped through the channels looked for his show as he layed back in a comfortable positiion.

[Nico Dahl]

Nah, it's okay - Lucah can admit it. Nin totally does sound like a troupe of angry cats.

"Nin," he corrected immediately, apparently pleased that his roommate hadn't immediately recoiled or given him a look like he wished that he'd spontaneously combust; such things were usually an inevitability, but it was still nice to not feel any GTFO vibes. "No one calls me Nico, least of all me. Nice t'meetcha though. My little sister's name is Leah so I'll totally remember yours. Like, Luke and Leia." His smile faded slightly and he settled Lucah with a very serious expression. "Please don't ever have incest kisses with my sister." Well, Nin, the likelihood of Mr. Ivaskov and Leah ever being on Endor together were nominal at best and the probability of them sharing a common paternal line was pretty much nil, so that's really not a problem. He should have been focusing more on reassuring him that he wasn't to be going to yelling "LUC I AM YOUR FATHER" at the top of his lungs whenever he saw the poor guy - unfortunately, that was a promise he probably wouldn't be able to keep.

He glanced over at Tom as he entered the room and lifted a hand to give him a distracted wave, eyes turning back to Lucah as he explained the accent. Right. Nin's first guess would've been Transylvanian (because Nin is an idiot, you see), but it probably would've been a bit insulting if he started calling him Count Ivaskov-ula. "Oh, I see," Nin responded lightly. "It's okay, I'm Canadian so sometimes I switch back too. Like sometimes I'm all "lets go curling, eh?" and then people look at me weird. No judging, I swea-" he stopped mid-sentence as the tv flicked on and it was at that point that his little rant-train derailed, and Nin proceeded to settle down on the floor, wrapping his arms around his knees. Easily distracted? Yes. Thank you, Tom, for ensuring the he didn't end up babbling about caribou or something. MR. REVER TO SAVE THE DAY. "Oh dude, this show is way awesome."

(adsfhakshdjgfjkasdf sorry for the massive wait guys)

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Lucah raised an eyebrow at his eccentric roommate. Had this boy been dropped on his head when he was a baby? It sure seemed like it. Luke and Leia? Who are they? "I'm not quite sure who you're talking about. Are they friends of yours?" He asked quietly. Then when Nico told him not to have an incestuist(?) relationship with his younger sister, Luc's jaw dropped, not literally. "I'd never even think of kissing your sister. Not that it'd be incestuist anyway, but even still."

Another boy entered the room and Lucah sighed, hopefully this one was semi-normal. "Name's Lucah, preferably Luc. You must be Tom." Nico began talking again and Lucah nodded politely, but didn't really pay attention to what he was saying. Canadian, curling, eh? Lucah focused on the television and tilted his head to the side, "Is this a television show most Americans enjoy?"

It looked interesting. Criminal Minds, nope didn't ring any bells. Luckily it captured Nico, aka Nin's attention. Now Luc didn't have to fake listening to him. Luc fixated his eyes to the TV and closed his notebook.

[Tom Rever]

Tom nodded to his roommate and said in a moderate tone " ya definitly" he also replied to the question asked by the new guy , turning his attention from the new guy back to the television in a few moments notice. " Well... i wouldn't say all americans but yes this show is definitely watched by many" A smile spread across his face as he looked at the television "this is my favorite part they always end with something wise.." he eyes were glued to the television , his eyes almost filled with astonishment watching the FBI agents analyze the unsub a criminal mastermind and take him down it was almost mind blowing to him..
"I'f only real life worked so smoothly" he said to himself , all good things must come to an end and so the show finished , he blinked a few minutes at the end credits as he turned his attention to the new guy , he said in a moderate tone" American you say hm...your obviously not from here, Where are you from?" his grey eyes scanned the new guy's face for answers he had a glazed look , he waited for his answer knowing there would be some sort of feedback.
