((You can put Raiden in either room 4 or 5, and Luna in room 6 I guess...doesn't really matter.))

((I believe that's everyone in a room, although Ainsley and Rhys don't have roommates right now.))
As I’m standing in the middle of the crowd of students, two of them part just far enough for me to notice a familiar face standing several students away. Smiling to myself, I make my way across to her, weaving through the crowd.
“Hey, Maria!” I say, wrapping an arm around my old friend. “Mar, this is Dom…” I begin to gesture behind me, only to realize Dominique’s not there. I try to spot her through the crowd. “Oh no, I think I lost her. Um, Mar, if you see a girl with blue skin, wave her over. I told her I’d show her around the place today. Well, she had blue skin last I looked, anyways, she might have changed by now.”
I can’t believe I lost her. Then again, I did slip through the crowd without saying anything to her first. That’s one of my big problems, I act before I think too much, and then I’m left standing here thinking about how I act before I think too much.
“Well, hopefully we can find her soon, or she’ll stumble across somebody more helpful than me, or something. So how are you, Mar? Haven’t seen you in forever.”

I look at the list, trying to figure out where I am and who I am with.
Roommate Assignment List[/b] - Room 1 - - Yuuji - - Damon - Room 2 - - Typha - - Maria
I stop reading the list after I find where I am staying this year. I then get my roommate's arm thrown around me. I smile brightly.
"Ty---pha~!"
I give her the best possible side hug I can from the position I am in. I reach over with my left hand and gently ruffle her light blonde hair. She mentions a 'Dom', who very quickly appears to be someone that isn't even there. As much as I would love to poke fun at her pseudo-delusion/paranoia - which is something you both do, out of pure mutual awesomeness - there are far more important things to deal wit-
Wait, did Typha just say that that person has blue skin?
"Did you say blue skin? Awesome~!"
I pause for a moment, trying to figure out what I was about to say before my Train of Thought was raided, stolen, sold to a fence and then disassembled for parts.
"Oh~! Guess wha---t? We're in the same room~!"
There is still a huge crowd around the list. I tap my fingers impatiently against my leg as I lean against the wall.
I better get one hell of an interesting roommate. Better yet would be somebody who wouldn't mind being experimented on.
The shapeshifter would be interesting... but wait, weren't they a chick? Does that even matter for shapeshifters? I just surprised myself; I thought I already knew everything about the ability to shapeshift.
I certainly dissected enough of them.
I move my mind elsewhere, trying to guess who my speci- roommate will be. I have already checked people with many varying abilities. However, strangely enough, I cannot recall one with any kind of electrical abilities.
There we are; my goal for the first month. Heh.

DAMON
I walk up to the list after the headmaster had finished talking. I weasle my way through the crowd and eventually make it to the list. I don't need to read far as my name is in the first room.
Room 1
Roommate 1: Yuuji
Roommate 2: Damon
I see this and realize the obvious pro and con to the arrangement. Pro, Yuuji is, at least I think he is, my first friend here. Con, we can't be near each other without causing the other misfortune. I hope we can buy pain killers on campus...
-------------- DOMINIQUE
After the headmaster finishes speaking I look for Typha...who isn't in view. I decide I will find her after I find out where I am living for the year. I read the list.
Room 3
Roommate 1: Belle
Roommate 2: Dominique
Really? I had to double check. Nope sadly it hasn't changed. I am stuck with Belle, the brat, Dee. Darn. That...really sucks. I look around and find Typha. I walk over to her, and see she is talking to some girl.
" So....I'm rooming with the brat."
-------------
RHYS
How am I supposed to go read the list, make it through the swarm of children and not accidentally render one or more of the unconcious? I make sure every possible patch of skin is covered before I carefully make my way to the list.
Room 4
Roommate 1: Rhys
Roommate 2: Ainsley
Wait, a girl? I look at the list and notice my room was the only one that included opposite genders. Odd. I wonder why, but decided to wonder about it away from my fellow classmates.

Everyone had split up when we had gotten into the building, there was still a wait to see the list for rooms and I was getting a little impatient. As I was walking considering what to do, I let my mind wander and thus accidently bumped into someone leaning against a wall. Peering up with my green and blue eyes I saw I had run into a boy who was leaning against the wall. He had white skin and black hair with frosted tips. He seemed to be waiting to see the list and just watching the people around. I quickly remembered my manners I apologized, “Sorry, mea culpa.” Gave a quick smile and then proceeded to dance around people to get to a more open area.
Returning back to the point at hand to see the list, I came up with a half minded plan. Taking out my sketch book I proceeded to draw a pair of binoculars that could see over the people and at the list.
Room 4
Roommate 1: Rhys
Roommate 2: Ainsley
Hmm, it was curious I was with a guy but it was for sure better than at home with snotty maids and only Amelia to talk to. Amelia right! I should go find Amelia and see how she’s doing and adapting. Ugh how was I going to find her in this crowd? I used the connection we had to tell her where I was, pocketed the binoculars and went back to my thoughts as I sat against the wall. Maybe I should go find my roommate and introduce myself? Hmm I wonder what my classes are gonna be like.

Raiden: I'm one of the first to see the list...
Room 1........ Room 5 Shados Raiden
Hmm...ok. I wonder who this Shados guy is? Oh well, I guess I'll find out sooner or later. This year is gonna be awesome! I smile. I then realise that I now must get back through the growing croud...here we go! I take a deep breath and push through the people. I'm almost out when I trip on someone's foot and fall for the second time today...awesome. Except the floor is a lot harder than last time. I stay seated and try to reorient myself.
Yuuji: Damon walks off to find out his room and roommate, and I am about to follow, but decide to wait until the croud dissipates. There's no rush. I wonder who my roommate will be. I hope we are able to get along. I see some other students staying back as well, and wonder what their powers are. I am not looking forward to choosing classes, seeing as I didn't choose them. Nor am I looking forward to class...I excell in most things, I just don't need my....Sometimes I hate thinking.
Luna: I really want to see the list!, but I don't want to leave my bags... Ugh, ok, I'll just be quick, and then come right back. I make a dash toward the croud and squeeze my way in. There's still a couple people in front of me...but I have an idea. My eyesight changes to that of an eagle, and I'm able to see the list just fine...more than fine actually. .... Room 6 Luna Amelia
Amelia...hey! Wasn't she that girl who helped me with my bags? Now I'll be able to get to know her more! Finally, a good roommate. Ah! My bags! I make my way back.

I was waiting impatiently for an opening in the crowd, so I can figure out who I'm going to be resting with the night, when a girl in a dark purple dress bumps into me. She looks up at me and apologizes for running into me before dashing off. I smile slightly; was that Latin? I recognize the way she spoke the words, and it certainly was Latin.
"Quaesītiōnem nullam," I call after her.
I take a moment to think as I watch her weave through the crowd. What is it that is sticking in my mind? Her clothing is nice, but not quite distracting. What was it?
Her eyes, that's it. The one on my right was a jade-like green, while the left was light blue. Practically ice blue. Fairly similar to my own two eyes.
I blink a couple times, before realizing that the crowd has began to dwindle down slightly. I figure that I may as well check the list now.
"Oh~! Guess wha---t? We're in the same room~!"
"So... I'm rooming with the brat."
Oh! That must be the 'Dom' person that Typha mentioned. And she mentioned being roomed with some brat. Wait...
Could it be him? I didn't realize that there was Co-Ed sleeping arrangements. I'm sort of surprised... And I wouldn't call him a brat. He's just dismissive towards everyone else, acts like he knows everything - and it doesn't help that he sort of does - and a little cocky. But he is cute...
No, I'm just getting ahead of myself. Oh well. I sort of half-hide myself behind Typha. I don't know if it's just that my eyes are really sore, or if it's the lighting around here, but I can't tell if Dom has the aforementioned blue skin.
I arrive at the list, and try to find my name.
Roommate Assignment List[/b] - Room 1 - - Yuuji - - Damon - Room 2 - - Typha - - Maria - Room 3 - - Belle - - Dominique - Room 4 - - Rhys - - Ainsley - Room 5 - - Shados - - Raiden
I already knew I had room five; I arrived last night. The only reason I'm even checking the list is to see who I'm with until the end of the year.
Hmm. Raiden, huh? I guess that's alright. Hopefully he'll be interesting. Perhaps even something I haven't encountered yet. I retreat from the small crowd still around the list, and figure I may as well wait until classes are in session. I spot the girl who bumped into me before, whom is sitting against the wall be herself. As I walk over to her, I try to figure out why I am so fascinated by her. Nothing comes to mind.
"Hey," I say awkwardly. God, I need to work on my social skills; I work far better with the deceased.
I smile lightly as I say, "We sort of got off on the wrong foot, huh?"

“Really? Roommates, wow! That worked out surprisingly well this year,” I reply to Mar, although I’m not quite sure what to think of the situation.
I’ve had roommates before, of course, but never people I’d considered friends beforehand, or afterwards for that matter. Most of my roommates had been, well, me at age fourteen, basically; what I would have turned out like if my sister was still around: annoying, prissy, smart, and with no doubts about their academic future. Well, to be fair, I wouldn’t say I have doubts about my future; I don’t really have doubts about anything anymore.
I hear Dominique’s voice say she’ll be rooming with ‘the brat’. It takes me just a half a second to realize who she means: the rich girl, Bell Pepper or whatever her name was. “Oh, there you are. I’m sorry to hear about that, I hope you two can find a way to get along.” I try to morph my face into a reassuring grin, but I’m not sure how close to the mark I’ve hit.
“Oh, before I forget, Dom, this is my friend Maria. Mar, this is Dominique, she’s new around here, so be nice and don’t bite.”

I nod, mentally noting not to bite her. I move myself, as to stand beside Typha, and smile brightly.
"Hii Dominique~ What's it like, having blue skin?"
Did I just...? Yes, I did. Crap.
I manage to stammer out, "I-I mean, not like it's weird! Nothing is weird around here! Ah ha Ha hA!"
I mentally punch myself in the face.
What.
Was.
That.

Smiling brightly I jumped up from my spot smiling at the boy I had previously bumped into. “Hello,” I responded and then laughed, “Sorry about that.” Out of curiosity I circled him, studying him and then luckily caught myself and sheepishly apologized, “Sorry bad habit, first year here, first year actually out of my household, first day I’m actually interacting with kids around my age. Sorry I’m a little excited and… energetic you could say I guess which leads me into saying anything really that pops into my head because of a lack of conversation skills.” Taking a breath I smiled again looked around for Amelia and figured I may not find her but she’d see what room I was in.
“I’m Ainsley Aurora by the way, you can call me Ain if you want a short form of it. You are?” I asked as I put out my hand to shake his. “I also don’t suppose you know where room four is? The whole new thing doesn’t help direction wise sadly.”

DOMINIQUE
"Yes, here I am. Get along? With that beast of a girl? Nice attempt to be hopeful Typha, but sadly we must be realistic. I can't stand arrogance. She can't stand...well anyone. It's an ideal pairing of course." No matter how I look at it all I see is drama and disaster with my oh so lovely roommate.
I turn to greet Maria, but it seems Maria beat me to it. What's it like having blue skin? Really? Ugh, I'm so sick of people commenting on it. I thought we had learned that skin colour wasn't a problem since like....1960 or something. Maybe I was getting my history wrong...but I'm pretty sure it has been a long time since it was an issue.
I roll my eyes prior to responding. As I do I raise one eyebrow, and give Maria a look as if to say 'tell me you didn't just say that' before talking in a cold manner.
" Probably like being white. Well, as pleasant as that was I must go Typha, maybe I'll see you in class. Now to go deal with the beast, wish me luck."
I grab my luggage and walk off down the dorm hall.
------------------------
DAMON
I walk over towards Yuuji, making sure to keep my distance so we don't have another medical breakdown. I wave to him.
" Yuuji! It seems we're roommates! We will figure out how to work that I guess..."

She circles around you, looking at what you assume to be your clothing.
Or something.
I screwed that up so bad. I wonder if I should move on to plan B.
Biting the next person that comes within chomping distance.
No... Typha would get mad at me and whack me with a newspaper again. Jeez.
I bring my hand up to my mouth, and chew on my pinky fingernail. I really hope I can apologize to Dominique; I certainly didn't mean it in an insulting way... I thought it was awesome.
Not Talking -->'Ainsley Aurora'? What a beautiful name, as is the crystal ice of the light winter snow.
I grab her hand in a light yet firm grasp.
"Hello, Ainsley. It's a pleasure to properly meet you,"
My smile widens slightly. I am, for some awkward reason tempted to bow and kiss her hand. I wonder whats wrong with me; this is not me, I am not social. Maybe I should diagnose myself when I get the chance.
"My name is Shayos Glacias."
I take a moment, trying to ponder my name. I like it; it is unique, especially when compared to something like 'Smith' or 'John' or something relatively similar. But for some reason, I feel it is awkward. Oh well.
"Ah, and Room Four, you said? I, myself, am in Room Five. Would you like to go there now?"

“Good luck.” I manage to squeak to Dom as she saunters off. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but she looks lonelier now than when I first met her.
Turning to Mar, I hiss as sweetly as it’s possible to hiss, “That’s your idea of ‘not biting’?” I can’t believe she said that. What’s it like to have blue skin? What’s it like to be judged superficially everywhere you go for something you have no say in? Why would you ask somebody a question like that? Why would you ask…
I take a moment to catch my breath and cool my nerves. “I’m sorry, I know you didn’t mean it like that, it’s just… I like Dom and I was hoping you’d make a good impression on her. I like for my friends to be friends, and you know, she’s new and all...”
Sighing, I shake my head. I feel really guilty for snapping at Mar, but I know I can only apologize so many times before it starts sounding whiny and pathetic, so I decide a change of conversation might be better suited to the situation at hand. “Forget about it. So we’re roommates then? What room are we in?”

“Pleasure to meet you Shayos Glacias,” I responded. “Yes getting there now would probably be best. I should go meet my roommate and see how he feels about sharing a room with a girl. Not that I think it’d be troublesome but best to know where you stand with people I suppose. Also it’d probably be good to get to know him and all that stuff since we will be living together.”
Pausing I realized I was rambling or at least on my way to rambling, “Sorry I really need to kick that habit.”
I reached down and grabbed my pocket watch which was hanging as a necklace checked the time; I really should probably be head over there. “Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude or anything but yeah I should probably head down now if you know the way. I’ll try to spare you from my constant annoying ramblings though,” I said jokingly. “ After you."
I was actually so excited, this seemed like such a great place to get away from stupid family/home drama. Was so excitied for classes I couldnt help but wonder about art classes as I waited to follow.
