"Uh..." Should she break off on her own now? Nova seemed to be willing... or was it forced politeness? So many possibilities, for such a simple choice... In the end, Alice decided that she wanted to talk with Nova a bit more. The dancing wasn't helping much in that matter. "S-sure... sorry if I'm inconveniencing you." She threw in that part quickly, a diplomatic offering in case Nova just wanted to be polite after all. All in all, a good choice, or so Alice hoped.
Rowi grabbed Kyrie's claw and kissed it. "Well, what I meant was that I dig you, girl, and I want to get to know you better, and hook up wit ya." he kept walking. "Just call me Rowi, Kyrie. If I'm sharing a room with a girl I want to make sure we'll only need one bed, if you get me, Ehrrhrrhrr YIP!"
Lae went into her closet and began to undress and change as she spoke to Susan. "The one with your dorm schedule on it is yours, of course. We will begin our planning by deciding what you will wear and what people to call up for entertainment. I've already spoken to Leanan about buying all the food and drink, as well as music. We will also discuss what games we want to play. Write all that down. Bullet it."
"You aren't an inconvenience at all! I would love to." Nova took Alice's hand and walked out the door, closing it behind her. She began to walk towards the elevator with Alice in tow.

Jack blinked slowly, nearly certain he was imagining what he was hearing. He took another drag, but there that noise was again. He unsteadily got up and turned the music down, walking over to the window unsteadily before he balanced himself on the wall and pulled it open. "Ello~? I'm busy meeting with my auntie jane, but if you want to leave a message, please do so...!" He said foggily out the window, a little more than buzzed.
Pokedy Poke-pokeWhen they got into the elevator and began waiting to go down, Nova herself was the one who seemed nervous this time. "Oh um...I apologize in advance...I'm...quite popular for some reason, and a large number of students, usually boys seem to enjoy spending time with me. I hope it doesn't put a damper on us getting to know each other."
Popular for some reason? Alice was sure she could think of a few... But that might be very awkward. Being roommates with an extremely popular girl. She might get the reputation of those girls who tagged along with really popular girls and basked in their glory... Alice was concerned about that. She wasn't sure she could handle being in the limelight... But Nova seemed like a very good roommate to have already. She was cool. "Uh... no, that will be fine..."
Seeing how the older girl headed to change right in the middle of the room Susan hastened her steps until she reached her bed. Grabbing a spare notebook from her bag she prepared to keep her eyes on the pages in front of her as she wrote.
"Alright then... what will I wear? Why start there?" Susan let out a little sigh but still she complied "Well I just brought a couple of jeans some tops and a couple of sweaters. If it's a fancy party then my uniform is the fanciest thing I have on my person"
"As for entertainment... I'm guessing you'll call on a band?" Susan asked, noting everything down neatly.
"Nah, the music will be from my personal iPod. I meant, entertainment as in, cool people doing cool and fun things." Lae walked out of the closet, wearing only underwear. "Let me see your clothes."
Nova suddenly hugged Alice, and whispered a thank you to her, before letting her go, as the elevator opened.
You sure are comfortable... Susan though, noting her roommate's attire. Shifting her glance to her bag of belonging she produced a pair of well worn jeans, a white shirt with long red sleeves, a short sleeved green one with a nature theme and a blue one of the same style. Also a couple of hoodies and a thicker sweater.
"That's about everything I brought for now, except for my P Js"
Standing on the grass at ground level with a couple of pebbles there stood Mariel, resident rebel angel and council hater. She obviously had not made it to the assembly.
The girl looked disapprovingly at Jack from the ground and with a movement of her wings she started to ascend to his level "Oh great I'm too late. Jack try to put your brain to work again"
Without any further words Mariel made her way inside the room, waving her hand to push some of the smell of the smoke away from her "So, how was it?"
"Oh, oh! I get it, Rowi! I'd like to get to know you, too!"
She smiled and nodded. This would be great. Rowi seemed like a really nice guy, if a bit overeager...
"Maybe not the hook up part! Definitely not the same bed. Unless there's only one! ...I haven't slept in a bed since, um..."
...She actually couldn't remember a time she slept in a bed. Even back in the swamp, beds were the things adults got to sleep on and maybe you'd get some straw on the ground if you were really good that week.
Cry for the moon!Lucia stepped inside and closed the door behind her quietly.
This was going extremely well!
Then... her roommate used the "P" word.
"P-party?" What little color there was in her pale face drained away. Her right eye twitched, and she stared directly ahead of her as she stood completely still, barely breathing.
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.Jack smiled as he saw Mariel, waving away the smoke as he put out the cigarette and saved it for later. "How was what? The smoke was excellent, you should try it sometime... Once we find what gets you giddy... He stated with a awkward, high pitch laugh as his buzz slowly began fading. "But you mean the beginning of the day, right? It was... hmm... Plenty of new people, plenty of old faces... erm... hum... That's it, really. I mean, a freshman got onto the student council and she owes me for it, apparently." He said with a strained cough, hoarsely gasping into his arm. "But apart from that, everything is fine. Oh yeah, and this is Thomas's room too. So don't be surprised if you see him here."
"I'm gonna make it my goal to get him higher than A kite. I think it would be awesome...!"
Pokedy Poke-pokeLae shook her head. "No no no. This won't do." She went to her closet and fetched a purple tank top and a purple bra. "Take off your shirt and put these on. Both. The bra compliments the shirt. Don't ask me how." She went to the bathroom to take a shower. She closed the door behind her. Before she got in, she called Leanan to tell him to come up so he could help her plan. She turned the shower on and stepped in.
Nova walked into the library with Alice. "Here we are!"
Alice smiled to herself. She was sure that this would be interesting, at the very least. For the moment, she was safe in her element. She took off into the shelves to find books. Perhaps she could get Shanghai some basic power back, to start with...
She never returned to her dorm that night. They found her asleep in a stack of books.
Shanghai hadn't gotten up to much trouble while left alone in the dorm. But it, or she, as it was dressed in a woefully rudimentary fashion, had taken the time to hang itself amongst Nova's decorations.
Well that last part stopped Susan in her tracks before she could even speak her question. Why did she even have to change right now? Also, would something of Lae even fit her?
Well I guess that's why she wants me to put it on... Ahhh... I was expecting the Student Council to be nerdy... Susan lamented inside her head as she started to change into the provided garments.
"I'll pass on that. I don't want to ever be seen with that silly grin you have on your face" Mariel told Jack, looking at him a little sternly... though she eventually let out a sigh, most of her tension leaving her with that breath "So they got a new recruit? Without any silly posturing, popularity contest or beauty pageants because of you? If I knew you had that kind of power with the student council I would have sent you to abolish it a long time ago"
Leanan was a little upset with Lae, as usual. He was putting all his own stuff away when she called him up to deal with something of her's. Yes the Student Council belonged to Lae and Lae alone. That much they all knew. Still, he had to do his duty, or it would all fall apart and too many people would get mad at him. He sighed once more as he walked up to Lae and Susan's dorm. She told him he could come in, so he opened the door.
"Hey, she was the one that wanted to join up..." He stated, leaning back as the last of his buzz wore off and he felt the beginning of the munchies starting to gnaw at him. "All I did was point her to the president, and tell her to keep cool. She says she owes me or something now, although I seriously dunno why... hang on a second..." Jack suddenly reached for his backpack and unzipped it, pulling a small sandwich out and sinking his teeth into it, swallowing the bit of it before continuing.
"Anyway, there was something Lae liked apparently, because she was brought on-board in a heartbeat. Thomas was pissed as hell, lemme tell you. I don't blame the guy, neither. I don't think he woulda won any election, but he tried playing dirty and got swiftly upstaged." Jack shook his head as he took another bite from his sandwich, before holding it out to the angel.
"Want a bite? It's just lettuce, tomato, and ham."
Pokedy Poke-poke

"Alright, that will be a first for me. Hope you don't mind" Susan said, recovering control of herself as she stepped into the already decorated room. Certainly not her style, though to be fair her own style was messy due to lack of time to organize everything.
"Two questions, which one is my bed and where do we begin the planning?"
Jack could soon hear the noise of something hitting softly on the window of his room.
