Theresa had mostly settled into her room, but decided it was time to put posters up. She'd propped the door open and opened the window to let the air flow through and was in the process of cursing a poster that wasn't behaving.

The other room had been very empty despite supposedly having someone assigned to it for a couple of days now. Which raised the question whether the girl who had wandered in through the open door now was her roommate.

"Do you need help with that?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 10:10 am**

Theresa glanced over, then back to the poster. "No, I think this is the wrong place for it anyway," she said, considering the space on the wall again.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 10:16 am**

"Hmm. How so?" she asks, looking at the poster as if to try and figure out why that's the wrong spot for it.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:19 am**

"Too near the other posters and it's larger than the others, which just makes it look funny," she said.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:24 am**

She nods.

"I'm Ashlie, by the way. You must be Theresa?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:33 am**

"That'd be me," she said. "Nice to meet you."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:40 am**

"This would be easier if you closed the window." she points out, apparently set on being helpful.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:41 am**

"The room was stuffy though," she said, rolling up the poster she had previously been struggling with.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 11:50 am**

"Okay." she smiles, looking around at the posters.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:15 pm**

There were posters for a smattering of computer games, World of Warcraft being most prominent, mixed in with an assortment of rock group posters. "Just a window into my hobbies," Theresa said. "Not exciting, I know."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:21 pm**

"Why would something else be more exciting? There is a distinctive lack of dragons in the physical world." she jokes. It's a little flat but she's getting better at it.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:30 pm**

"I don't know. Some people think it's silly. Some of my friends back home did. I enjoy it a lot though."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:41 pm**

"It seems fun. Just a little restrictive."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:45 pm**

"It's all about the people you hang out with," Theresa said. "My group's a good one."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:59 pm**

While passing by, Brigid heard a familiar voice.

"Oh my God... Theresa?"

She poked her head in.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:06 pm**

"In the absolutely awesome flesh," Theresa said, grinning.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:24 pm**

"Oh, wow. When did you get here?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:39 pm**

"I've been in country a couple of days. Got tied up in formalities in London for a bit, but I'm here now."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:40 pm**

"What happened? I'd heard your parents pulled you back."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:47 pm**

"They did. Then I got busted for practicing my powers on my own. And now I'm here."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:49 pm**

"Well that's... good, right? I mean, aside from..."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:05 pm**

"Yeah, I'm happy to be here. Wish the route I had to take was better, but not much I can do about that now. Brigid, do you know Ashlie?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:06 pm**

"We met the other day. She's pretty nice. You're rooming together, huh?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:07 pm**

"Hi Brigid." she smiles, giving a polite wave.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:17 pm**

"Looks like it," Theresa said. "I was wondering if I'd been assigned the invisible girl for a bit there."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:26 pm**

"She's kinda quiet," she smiled.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:29 pm**

"I'm still settling in. I don't have much stuff anyway..."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:38 pm**

"Brigid can vouch for me not having as much stuff now as I did the first time I started attending the Institute," Theresa said with a laugh.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:39 pm**

"Oh yeah, that move-in day was... surreal."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:43 pm**

"Really? Why is that?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:45 pm**

"My mother did most of the packing and she was a bit... zealous in what and how much she though I'd need."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:50 pm**

"Well you would not want to miss something when you need it." she nods.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:08 pm**

"Nobody needs that many pencils."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:10 pm**

"Not even obsessive fill-in-the-bubble test takers."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:14 pm**

"Clearly college supplies then."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:23 pm**

"Lot of 'my parents are crazy' stories around here anyway."

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2012 7:42 am**

"My parents are at least the tolerable kind of crazy, if a little overprotective."

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2012 8:07 am**

"Yeah. Parents." she chuckles.

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2012 12:58 pm**

"Yeah, well... you know what mine are like."
