Harlo set her tray down loudly. She found it easy that the food was laying out, even if the tuna sandwiches and cookies were rapidly diminishing. Running a hand through her hair, she began to nibble on her cookie when her phone vibrated on the plastic tray. It was red with an engraved checker pattern in it. harlo wondered how the manufacturers had created such an elaborate pattern. Brushing off the thought, she opened her phone and read the text quickly. His question was simple, her answer would be too. ' That's easy. I had nowhere else to go. And it's okay, I guess. How about you? '

Harlo wondered what she would do after she had finished eating between bites of her tuna sandwich. Probably head back to the dorm and have a shower...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Rin groaned angrigly, flipping his phone open and punching the keys aggressively. ' What do I look like, a freaking tour guide? I'm busy. ' with that he shut his phone off and buried it in his sock drawer. He wondered where Diana was... the dorm was dark as he had closed the curtains. Where was his coffee machine? Rin marched around in his boxers trying to find it.

Deciding there was no point in being outside she turned and skipped back to her dorm, she was in good spirits from being outside. She opened the door to...darkness? Sighing she realized the curtains were closed. She flicked her pointer finger and thumb together creating a spark that turned into a small floating fireball. "Always comes in handy" she smiled and started into the room almost setting Rin, who was only in boxers, on fire. "Oh jeez!" she squealed blowing out the fire making the darkness wash over her.

"Oh shi--!" Rin stumbled back at the burst of flame, crying out in surprise. He tumbled over a stool (or something wooden) in the middle of the floor and fell on his back - hard. He moaned in pain, rolling over and doing a move that looked like he was doing the worm while swimming on the floor. he did this until he had pulled himself towards the bathroom, slamming the door behind him and flicking the lights on. he felt something hot rush down his back. Moaning again, he turned and looked at his back in the mirror, and screamed.
"A THUMBTACK! THERE IS A FUCKING THUMBTACK IN MY BACK! JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST!" A thin layer of blood covered his back, and other than that it was all red from falling. "Who leaves a thumbtack on the floor?" he winced.

Diana brought her hand to her mouth in suprise, then her eyes filled with tears for a moment and she flicked another little fire ball and had it show her the way to her bed. She had it bounce on each of the candle wicks again, filling the room with dancing candlelight. This would be oddly romantic if not for the fact that we just met each other, and he probably hates me now.. she thought with a half smile. She hoped he was alright, and that he wouldnt hate her. She didnt think she could live in a dorm with someone who hated her. She pictured for some reason him comming after her and her setting him on fire. She winced at the thought of that.

[size=1]Silent tears streamed down Rin's face. These are manly tears... manly tears of pain... he repeated over and over in his head before flinging open the door. "Can you.. uhm... owww... pull it out. Of my back. The thumbtack. Please?" He said in a half whisper.

Diana shot up and ran over to Rin, "Im so sorry i scared you, so sorry" she whimpered. She took the end of the tack and as gently as she could pulled it out. She ran to the nearest garbage and threw it away, she looked back up at Rin, "its out, but um....why was there a thumbtack on the ground?" she asked looking at it inside the garbage before returning to her bed. She made a small fire mouse and had it run up and down her arms, it stopped before she t-shirt sleeve of course.

Once Genie was alone in the dark room, she walked towards the door way to the direction of her room. She swung her arms side to side, stretching them. She almost laughed at herself. The school's energy was great, it was extremely positive, like sunlight. She walked down the hallway and stopped outside her dorm door. Turning the handle, Genie yawned, her eyes slightly closing, and walked into the room and collapsed on her bed face first. "Mmmmmmm." Genie mumbled into the pillow.

"Ugh. I don't know. It probabaly fell when I was putting up posters..." Carefully, Rin bent over and slipped a pair of jeans on before wrapping a towel around his injury. "I'm going to see the nurse," he said simply, closing the door quietly behind him and walking down the hall towards the office.

Diana watched him leave, "Yep." she huffed, "He does not like me" she turned and jumped onto her bed, standing on it she touched two of the flames, taking the fire with it. She clapped her hands making little orange embers go everywhere. They went out before they hit anything, she wrinkled her nose at the sudden smell of something burning and she hoped no one else could smell it. She put out the other candles normally and layed down on her bed, pulling the covers up over her head.

'Well sorry Rin....I think your electricity is getting to your head! I'll go find it too my self. P.S. Sorry for bothering you....' Miyuku turned her phone off so she wouldn't reciever any more message or calls. He didn't seem to friendly...she shrugged, he didn't seem to like her very much. She headed off inside to the office again and decided to ask them, "hiya there..some one told me there is a lake nearby here I was just wondering if you could tell me where it is" she smiled at the lady waiting.

She nodded as the lady explained to her "thanks!!" she said and before leaving the lady at the desk reminded Miyuku about their curfew she nodded again smiling. She went to her room to grab her napsack as she put a few things in there.

{ I am very sorry that I have not been on to reply, I've had real life issues to take care of. I`ll probably be able to post later on today/tomorrow.

Edit :: Writers block at this point, bleck. -pokes around- O.o Anyone alive out there?}

' That's easy. I had nowhere else to go. And it's okay, I guess. How about you? '. The male, upon recieving this message, read it over and thought for a moment. 'Nowhere else to go' sounded pretty bleak and dreadful. Surely, if she could morph into all sorts of creatures, she could go just about anywhere she liked, couldn't she? Then again, he supposed, that money and board somewhere was always an issue. School probably was a safe bet for her. Luthien wouldn't personally know. While he didn't gloat about it, he was very well off, and it would be doubtful if he ever had to worry about money issues. He worked hard at what he did, and wanted to break away from his family, but if he really needed help? He had a family, with money, to support him.

Luthien shrugged as he typed away on the phone, lips thining slightly into a semi-worried line. His teeth nipped slightly at his lower lip, thoughts jogging together all at once. " I dunno. I needed something to do with my life. Away from the people I knew. I've never really had much in common with people. Not that I could talk about make actual friends with, anyway. I thought, maybe here? Then again, I've probably just never tried hard enough. Getting attached is hard for everyone, and while I don't really have a reason, it's generally even harder for me. "

Sending the message, the male rolled over and onto his back, phone in hand as he plunked his hand down on his chest. It was as he was staring at his ceiling did he hear the door to his dorm open up, and someone come in. Curious, but not too bothered to see who it was, the male mulled over the question of whether or not his roommate was a girl, or male. As they had separate rooms, he figured it didn't really matter much. Luthien probably wouldn't be seeing too awful much of them. They would probably even have a problem with the sort of music he listened to. Scrunching up his nose slightly and rolling onto his side, stretching out, the male grumbled. Luthien had partaken in bunking with roommates before. He might have been right. Maybe he'd never tried hard enough. Still, getting off on the wrong foot was never a good idea.

Mentally making a note not to blast his techno/remixes at 3am, nor go in and out of the dorm room and make a load of noise, the male closed his eyes for a moment. Fingers drumming away at his phone to a random beat of a familiar, but unnameable song, the male waited for a return text.

Genie heard rustling, the movement of a body on fabric. She rolled over to face the vastness of the dorm room, and saw a boy laying in the bed across from her. She blushed momentarily, shyness creeping under her skin. She quickly shrugged it off though. "Hmmmm, hi there," She mumbled, hoping her sudden tiredness didn't slur her words. Some of her dark hair fell into her face, and she blew it away, only to have it resume its previous position in front of her eyes.

After getting bored of playing the random melody's that popped into his head, Kei put his violin away and stowed the case carefully under his bed. He wondered when his roommate was going to show up after he glanced to the still unoccupied bed. Seeing as he had nothing else to do he pulled out his laptop and placed his phone next to his laptop on the table. He quickly turned the computer on and waited for all his windows to load before going to check his e-mails. Did he have any shows coming up?

((I thought this died...>.>))

[[Yeah, me too....I was actually trying to revive it....x3 ]]

|| Internet crashed, sorry. D:

Harlo was just tossing her now empty tray back on the counter when her cell phone vibrated in the pocket of her a-few-sizes-too-small-jeans. She ignored it for now, walking slowly and calmly to her dorm. She locked herself in the bathroom, proceeding to undress. She didn't bother to read the message, firing off a ' Showering. Brb. ' in Luthien's direction.

|| Fail.

Lan got bored of sitting outside and felt unusually energetic, possibly after sleeping for 2 days. So he hopped off and over the bench that he was resting on and reentered the building. He decided that it was best for him to go back to his room because he didn't think that he was going to meet anyone who'd truly interest him. He made it to his door and heard the muffled sound of water running in the room. He hurriedly unlocked the door and forced his way in. He clinched his jaw and began to channel electricity through his body, focusing it on his hands. He yelled out in a gruff, booming voice, "Who are you and what are you doing in my room."

Harlo raised a wet eyebrow as she heard what she though was the sound of a door opening. She assumed it was jsut her imagination and proceeded to rinse the conditioner out of her shockingly bright lime green hair. It wasn't until she saw a shadow and heard a male voice that she freaked out. Harlo chomped down on her lip, turning off the tap. Uh... hullo? she stammered, taking a deep breath in. The door was locked for a reason... she muttered, hidden behind the shower curtain. She stuck her head out slowly, to see a tall, attractive blonde male. Oh... Harlo snatched the towel and wrapped herself in it behind the shower curtain.

Lan stared at the girl as she stuck her head out of the door. He slowed the flow of charged energy, decreasing the power that was being focused into his hands until it vanished out of sight. "I-I'm sorry for the uh ... yeah." He turned away from the bathroom's occupant and sat on his bed. Was she his roommate or something? This was awkward, 1: For having a female for a roommate and on top of that he saw her partially naked from her shoulder up. He closed his eyes, but the only image he had was a repeat of what he'd seen a few seconds ago. He rustled his hair wildly and filled over onto his stomach while his face was pressed against his pillow.

Harlo rolled her eyes. Damn right you are... she muttered, wrapping the towel around herself and pulling the shower curtain open. She gazed around the bathroom - she must have left her clothes outside. Shrugging, she patted her hair down and popped the door open, daring a glance at the boy. Her towel went about mid-thigh but she still didn't want to risk bending over. She crouched, doing her best not to make eye contact with the boy as she scurried back to the bathroom, pajama pants and a tee shirt in hand.

Lan groaned as he heard the sound of Harlo's feet hit the floor as she rushed back to the bathroom. He spoke apologetically, "Look I'm sorry, okay. I didn't know I had a damn roommate. It wasn't my fault that I wasn't warned." He opened his eyes carefully, hoping she wasn't still naked. He got up quietly and awkwardly as he tried to make him sense of everything that has happened recently. "So, naked girl ... what's your name? I don't want to keep calling you that, but that's the only thing I know about you." He was leaning outside the bathroom door.

Harlo groaned, closing the door with her back. My name's Harlo, she called as she pulled on her panties, bra and pajama pants. She gave her hair a ruffle before pulling her shirt on and pulling open the door to see Lan leaning in the doorframe. Well, who are you? she asked, flattening her shirt as she sat down on her bed.

Lan shook his head and his hair fell over his eyes when he said quietly, "I'm Lan, it's nice to meet you, Harlo. I really didn't mean to startle you." The young man wasn't used to much human reactions, distancing himself from others through his few years of solitude. It was still a mystery as to how he was found when he was living alone. He smiled ruefully as he nodded to her in a nervous gesture. His palms were beginning to sweat, his heart skipped a beat, and his brain was scrambled, but he didn't know what these symptoms were. He opened his mouth and closed it immediately after, but he managed to get some courage to ask her a question, "So um ... what's your power, Harlo?"

|| I found a picture for Harlo and added it to her profile... C: ||

Harlo pulled her legs onto the bed into a cross-legged position. She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear, revealing multiple piercings, mostly black studs and rings. The young woman gave her hair another ruffle, glancing at the door. It made her seem uninterested, even distracted. Oh, uh, shapeshifting. Y'know, animals and sometimes objects. She returned her emerald gaze to Lan. What about you? she asked, trying to guess what his power was.

He shut his laptop and then stood up, stretching lightly. White hair fell into his eyes and he brushed it away. His eyes moved to the windows and he glanced at the sky for a moment or two... Then he opened said windows and perched on the windowsill. He'd changed into a long sleeve red shirt with black cargo pants, a white studded belt hung about his slim waist. His feet were bare. He counted to three and then launched himself from the window, free falling for a few seconds, enjoying the rush of the wind past his face before snapping a pair of wings open. They caught in the wind and soon he was soaring, literally. He made sure to fly a bit higher than normal so no one would recognize him, he really didn't want anyone to see him flying. Not to mention in case one of those people happened to be his roommate. He shuddered slightly at the thought of what would happen if his roommate happened to listen to his music. His slight shudder caused him to veer slightly off course and he quickly corrected himself. He looked around and once he was sure there was no one around he landed on the ground, his wings disappearing and only leaving a single feather to drift slowly to the ground. He sat down in the snow and sighed, closing his eyes and leaning his back against the tree trunk located behind him.

Lan looked at Harlo and smiled vaguely at her, "That's pretty intense, I can kinda ... ya know ... mess with electricity and stuff. For example: Look at the lights in here ..." He raised his hand toward the light on the ceiling and with a swift motion, his eyes turned bluish-white and the lights cut off. "I guess you get the point anyway." He repeated the same process and put the electricity back into the light fixtures. He rubbed the top of his head and stared at his room with curious eyes as he was slightly interested in her, even if he just met her recently. He liked the color of her hair and smirked a bit idly. His eyes twinkled dully as he thought of a friendship that may bud between the two, making her his first friend in his life.
