First Strike - An awkward introduction?

[orewaonna]

[Action]

[Anyone in the girls dorm, might notice what looks like a young boy hovering around the door for room B115. This supposed young man seems to be pacing and just generally glaring at the door in general distrust.]

Awe man. I can't do this. Share a room with a girl?

[Tugging on her unruly hair, Masaki can't help but frown. Maybe it'd be better to request a new room. The last thing she needs right now is some stranger to start screaming because a boy came into her room without knocking. Geeze. Thinking she hears something coming from inside the room, she turns and bolts down the hallway at top speeds.]

Forget it. I can't do this!


[BBS]

Oi! What's someone got to do to get a room change around here? I need to know asap. I can't share a room with a strange girl.

Guess the whole paramagic thing you're gonna be studying is gonna be a bit of a shock too, huh?

[orewaonna]

They mentioned para-magic when they signed me up and stuff. Didn't think they were serious.

[Yup. This place is officially off the deep end.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Yeah. They're serious.

This is gonna be a lot to take in. Lemme give you some advice... believe what people tell ya.

[orewaonna]

[It's a lot to take in, and she's obviously still skeptical about it.]

Magic and talking animals. Least this place can't get any weird-

[She trails off and then squints at him suspiciously.]

Can it get any weirder?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Ha! NOW you're gettin' it! Of course it can get weirder! You just gotta roll with the punches and don't let it get to ya.

[orewaonna]

... Right.

[That is the exact opposite of reassuring. Thanks a lot, pal.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[Perhaps she'll find reassurance in a friendly if not exactly subdued shoulder whack.]

Weird ain't bad. It's just different.

[orewaonna]

[Not exactly subdued shoulder whacks are great! Just like home in fact, so it's even grounding in a way.]


Some weird I can get used to, other weird? I dunno about that.

[The fact that she considers talking ponies easier to adjust to than living with a girly girl says a lot about her state of mind.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Just keep an open mind. You get all worked up about it an' you'll only make it worse on yourself.

[orewaonna]

Osu! Oh.. I mean, right. I'll try and keep an open mind, about most of this stuff.

[She still doesn't want to live with a girly girl, sorry Jecht.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[Deal with it?]

That's the spirit. I know it ain't as easy as all that, but... you're here now. Can't pretend otherwise.

[orewaonna]

[No. Brb finding a bench on campus to call home.]

Tell me about it. It's not like closing my eyes, plugging my ears, and saying "this is a dream" is gonna work, right?

[Or will it? Now there's an idea.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Nope. You can trust me on that one, it never works!

[orewaonna]

Don't tell me you actually tried that!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Ha! Sort of. The first time this happened I got really drunk. Ended up in jail, too!

[orewaonna]

Pretty sure that's not even close to the same thing.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Sure it is! They're both ways of not dealin' with what you're seein'.
