Norm smiled and gave a small wave to Raj, "nice to meet you-" He managed to get out before Theo cut him off.

"Allow me to fill ya in!" Theo began, "name's Theodore Sampson, master pyromancer! Check this out!" Umprompted, he formed a fireball in their hand and began spinning it around on their finger like it was a basketball before dispelling it, "pretty damn cool huh?" He asked with a proud smile on his face, "though no, PITA is his 'clever' way of calling me a pain in the A—"

"nyway, it's nice to meet you, Nestan!" Norm interjected, shaking her hand before turning to Sohelia and shaking hers. "You could call him a copilot," he said, adressing Grem's comment, "But he's also kind of like if a roomate had access to your most private thoughts."

"You know, like your fears of clowns and lightning?" Theo spoke up with a sly grin.

"Shut up, Theo..."

Suddenly, Goldie briefly went vacant, eyes glowing blankly before she returned to reality. "GOLDIE SORRY. GOLDIE JUST GOT MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT. APPARENTLY DORM RULES CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR. YOU CAN STILL ROOM WITH OTHERS IF WANT, BUT ARE FREE TO ROOM BY SELVES IF THAT WORKS BETTER."

"THE PUPPY TALKS?!" Norman exclaimed as a massive, dorky grin spread across his face. He promptly got down on his knees and began petting Goldie, "whos a good floofy?" He said in a sickly-sweet voice, "whosagoobfloooooooofy?"

On the one hand, Goldie adored pets. Getting pets and tummy rubs were two of her favorite things in the whole world. It was tempting to just let him let pet her all day long.

On the other hand...

whosagoobfloooooooofy?

She didn't like that one bit.

She started to growl, her eyes glowing blue as Norman was gently pushed to the ground by some invisible force.

"PLEASE NOT DO THAT. GOLDIE ENJOY PETS. IN FACT, GOLDIE LOVE PETS. GOLDIE NOT LOVE BEING TALKED TO LIKE ACTUAL PET. IN FUTURE, PLEASE NOT TREAT ME LIKE BRAINDEAD ANIMAL. WE CLEAR?"

The Dorms


Goldie looks exactly like a dog that had not spoken until that moment. She narrowed her eyes at their teacher pushing the new one to the ground over that. "...the 'puppy' is Goldie," Nestan started watching that. "the homeroom teacher. And Goldie seems to be a psychokinetic dog that 'speaks' by pushing words into nearby minds, and she perhaps could have warned the new student that this was this case before growling and shoving them."
The boys switching had almost given her whiplash, so she ended up just watching him try petting Goldie before thinking to warn him—well, either of them—herself.
"I do not mean to pile on, but," she pointed her head at the water elemental. "be careful of your fire around Klorae please. It worries her. Although, you should ask her if she wants to practice with you. She can get used to dealing with fire and you with water."
"And, there is a dance party soon after you find a dorm." With a roommate or alone, and being allowed to room alone was a welcome message. Even given the creepy delivery.

"Gah!" Norman called out in shocked as he tumbled backward, before stumbling to his feet "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to insult your intelligence!" He stumbled and stuttered out as many apologies as possible, his face only increasing in redness from the embarassment that this was the Homeroom Teacher that he had been adressing this whole time. "I'm sorry, I just...My parents used to own a dog that looked a lot like you, and I guess I kinda got carried away." He looked away in shame,"Are we...cool now? I promise to never do that again."

Goldie sat there for a moment, but she soon began wagging her tail and ears again in earnest. "WE COOL. GOLDIE PERHAPS NOT ACT AS TEACHER SHOULD EITHER. GOLDIE SENSITIVE TO THAT SORT OF THING."

Her eyes shifted to Nestan, a voice echoing in her head that only she could hear. "GOLDIE UNDERSTAND CONCERNS. PERHAPS YOU HAVE POINT. BUT MUST UNDERSTAND. THIS NOT FIRST TIME SOMEONE TREAT GOLDIE IN SUCH WAY. DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN. NOT IN THIS TOWN. BUT PEOPLE NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTAND. NOT SAYING GOLDIE WAS RIGHT. JUST THAT... IT HARD SOMETIMES.

Emilia Shade - Straight out of the Underground

An indescribably strange, yet simultaneously familiar chill snuck its way into Emilia's vicinity, crept up against her skin, and announced its presence down her spine with a sense of sensation she had mistakenly thought she lost. With a shiver dancing through the facsimile of flesh her intangible form comprised of, Emilia turned to greet the facsimile of human existence before her. "Oh hello... Sohi, right...? Sorry, dunno much about daevas; maybe I should brush up on my Hinduism... Actually, I don't need to bother with the middle man when I can learn directly from you, right~?"

Emilia giggled but backed away slightly, since she had this tugging feeling of potentially falling into a pure oblivion from which there was no return. You know, a feeling. "I'll go ahead and take your words as a compliment - after all, I am adorable and amazing~ I look forward to us learning more about each other~"

Hearing Raj cheerfully chip their own two cent in, Emilia pondered and nodded with a smile. "There's a good fallback career... 'Emilia: spiritual sleep therapist~ Call toll free today~"


Emilia Shade - The Student Haunt

At the sight of her new accommodations, Emilia couldn't help but whistle at the sight, half split between humming the Harry Potter theme or Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous. She opted for the latter while listening to Sohi's list of roomie conditions - and to the very quick volunteering of Rajani for the position. "I don't need any sleep myself, but aside from that and, you know, not exorcising me, I'm up for whatever~ That being said, I'd rather have a roommate than go solo - it's more fun to have someone to play and mess around with~"

Around when she was expressing that some new guests popped right up. "Oh hey, another ghosty~ Intangible dead people unite~"

Klorae thought a moment. "I don't need to sleep, I need water around, and I need the ambient temperature to be right around 70° to be comfortable..." She looked at Emilia. "You and I seem pretty compatible roommates... as long as you don't call me cute." She mock-growled, then grinned. "I hope you're up for all-night gaming sessions."

Norman sighed in relief and petted Goldie behind the ears before turning his attention to Nestan, "Oh, I understand. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Asking her to practice might not be such a bad idea."

Having heard Emilia's comment, Theo grinned and turned to her, pumping one of his and Theo's shared fists in the air as he did, "Ghost squad rise up!" He stated enthusiastically before turning to Norman with a contented smile, "I like her energy."

"I'm sure you do," Theo replied tiredly, "Speaking of energy, I've got none, so let's go find somewhere to bunk." And with that, the Duo took off to find a room.

Hali had laid back for a moment and looked at the roof. There was a new kid (or two), even if his first impression wasn't the best and tripped on Professor Fluffy's buttons on the first go.

This place was magic, she thought, taking everything. Then, she looked at the local robot boy with a smile.

"So, what do you say?" She asked "Roomies?" Well, there might not be too much trouble, since Micah was still developing. Although there might be some issues when he really gets a personality, but she'll think of something when that happens.

"..." Nestan tilted her head then crouched down to look their homeroom teacher in the eye. While the answer was technically yes, that was a trap. "I have never been able to move people who upset me with a thought," she started in a low voice. In theory more than Goldie could hear but lowering her volume was the best she had besides passing a note. "But knowing others could and would certainly made me speak more carefully."
She gave a small shrug. "On the other hand, I've kicked people. But this whole thing was spur of the moment anyway. And look, the teacher and the new student have reconciled. You don't need my approval. I'll try not to trouble you, and I'm sorry, but I can't just 'understand'. Your 'hard sometimes' is different from my 'hard sometimes'."
A gentle nod and a 'sure' would have ended this, but she was unwilling to just let that one pass. They'd run into full blown villains with resentment and power alot.

Dungeons – Pre-Dorms

“It's Soheila. Sima for a short alternative. But Sohi's adorable, so I won't complain. I won't respond to that though,” the daeva had smiled, half-circling around the ghost as her aura continued to idly investigate her. “Hinduism? Ah, yes. You're thinking of Zoroastrianism. I'm a happy teacher, so I'll fill you in. There's crucial differences.”


Dorms

Norman might've noticed the weakness in Soheila's grip as he shook her hand. It was like shaking a soggy noodle. It was like an imitation of a shy grip, except it'd been exaggerated to the point of complete submission. It was hard to read exactly why this was the case. Perhaps she'd only picked it up from the strangest of people. Or perhaps it was a mixed cultural bag. Or perhaps this was just her weird way of being ‘humble’.

Regardless, she followed the newbie with a gentle pressure from her aura as he approached their teacher; only for him to fall into doting baby talk over her. She might've smiled if it wasn't for the response. She instead picked out a frown. Narrowed eyes didn't suit her form well. The dead look in them made her look downright malevolent for a moment.

But the glare faded, and she adjusted herself. She absorbed Nestan's mutterings carefully. This time she did laugh—a light, more refined one—before brushing back into place a lock of her short hair with her fingers and remembering to flick her eyes over to their local nun.

“Things are relative, yes. The concerns of an intelligent dog are probably still different to an intelligent human. Kicking is the same, you use your advantages. Regardless–” she approached, striding up alongside before leaning slightly down to them and smiling. “–you shouldn't have to ‘understand’ anyhow. Look at me,” she gestured briefly at her form overall, before clasping her hands behind her and glancing between Goldie and Nestan. “Adversity's all the same to me. Just different eyes perceive it. Counteracting it's through the same filter. I don't ‘understand’ any of this, but I don't let it be a barrier.”

She straightened again, still peering down at them.

“If spur of the moment things you don't comprehend shake you often, I've heard that's called ‘sanity’. You might want that checked out~!”

Judging by the tone she'd picked, it was only joking. She had little to add, but she didn't like such tension. The teasing quality she'd added to her voice was also from a certain spectre in the room. The lonesome one, specifically.

She didn't mind being unsubtle like that.

Grem-The Dorms

He'd shook his head disapprovingly at the new kid's antics toward Goldie and then smiled at the teachers' response. Grem knew perfectly well the problems having human-level intelligence in an animal form could cause, especially if you couldn't get out. Being trapped in that kind of body....well, he wasn't sure he'd have responded as well as Goldie.

Also, Sohi and Nestan were getting on his nerves. He hadn't forgotten her little remark from earlier. You brought her here. That rankled. Nestan, on the other hand, seemed to feel her natural role was reprimanding people. I really hope this is just me being tired, otherwise it's going to be a long year. Not looking forward to feeding time tonight. I hope it doesn't conflict with the dance.

On impulse, he transformed again, this time into a boxer. Not as intimidating at first glance as a Doberman or Rottweiler, but they could get the job done if need be. Grem sniffed around the students as they were talking. Picking up everyone's scents might be valuable down the line. Having circled the group, he returned to where he had been standing and flumped down to the floor while listening and watching intently.

Justin Henderson

Well, it seemed to be that the psychic golden retriever did not like being treated like a pet. New guy learned that and so did everyone else. Justin just figured this meant that if he did end up giving Goldie walkies, then most likely he'd have to consciously not use the pet language.

It seemed for now everyone was looking for someone to get into a dorm mate situation with, so Justin decided to go with his first option. Approaching Alexander, Justin asked him, "Hey man, you have a dorm mate lined up? I was wondering if you'd be open for rooming with me."

Alexander

"Bioluminescence is complicated. Combustion is significantly easier." Alex said, more bemused than anything. "Besides which, both you and Klorae can withstand some amount of fire, whereas I can't fight at all in the dark. Not comparable."

Regardless, Alex let the matter drop as they headed off for the dorms.

The others seemed excited to talk about roommates. Alex didn't care one way or the other. He offered a small nod of greeting at the new student. Said new student almost immediately started to talk condescendingly to their teacher. Which was expected, he supposed; that's how most people talked to dogs.

Rolling his eyes at the display, Alex gave a small smile at Justin's offer. "Yes, I think that would be best. I'd like to have someone I can talk science with." His smile turned into a wry smirk. "Though I'm more of a chemist than an engineer. Still, our abilities synergize well; I can make raw materials, and you can create your machines from them. I'd be happy to bunk with you."

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

"..yes, g-Soheila." Nestan nodded eventually. She clasped her hands and gave a neutral nod to Goldie. "No need to go further," she said standing back up and stepping back so as not to seem to loom over Goldie. " and...its nice that you think so. No one at home seemed to agree that I suffered from sanity." It was almost an attempt at levity but she couldn't commit.
"Do you..." she paused a moment, scratching her head and doing nothing productive before finishing a sentence that she started. "care to visit me every so often and chat? I mean, I'm staying alone but I prefer dim lighting too." She usually spent nights in quiet contemplation or study but that didn't really compare to getting experience straight from the elder being right in front of her.

Fala — Prickly but Sweet

Fala looked around the common-room in awe. The décor was quite different from the retro 1960s-style kitsch of her family hotel's lobby, especially all of the magical apparatuses, but it was quite a welcome change. She could definitely see herself kicking it back in here.

When Fala heard that they'd be sharing rooms, she started looking around amongst her fellow tenants for possible candidates to be her roommate. That's when she spotted the naga girl, Val, her name was? Fala gathered up her courage, then went over to talk to her.

"Hey so, Val, right? Are you looking for a roommate?...I mean, you probably have sunlamps for your snakes, don't you? 'Cuz me and Chompy need sunlight too, and I figured that such an arrangement would be...convenient. So, what I'm asking is if you wanna be my roommate."

Dorms

“Without question; of course,” Soheila nodded immediately after she inclined her ear towards Nestan, smiling with closed eyes again as she cocked her head a degree to the side. “You're familiar. A taste of home. Or of the sort. In return, whisper my name in any doorway and you'll be let in. I'll consider your own request permission on my end.”

She knew of Shirin's group, of course. Only from a distance. It was undoubtedly homey. Not as homey as her own abode, but recognizable. Nestan had a similar way to her. Along with Rajani, she sensed fine companions. Speaking of which...

“Oh, dear Raj? We should settle in!” she called out, only slightly turning her head towards the shadowy one to address them. Her eyes remain idly locked onto Nestan, however. “I shouldn't miss that party.”

Only when she had finished did she reach out with an odd smile and rub a thumb against Nestan's cheek. It didn't linger, and retreated thereafter—her gaze growing hollow as she appeared to stare at nothing for a beat or two.

“Ahhh, sweet one... No doubt you'll be useful. This group is worth sticking by. This one's glad she came here,” she spoke in self-reference, placing her hand upon her own chest before humming and feeling out some of the dorm rooms with her aura. “That all said, have you met any like me before?” she queried of Nestan, mentally counting off seconds to make her clarification seem like an afterthought. “Just to know how much I'll need to explain. It helps a lot if you're familiar.”

She carefully waited for any sign of reaction from the nun. The slightest hint could speak a thousand words. But she wouldn't hold it against her if she turned out smarter than that. If anything she'd be pleased.

Conversation was fickle sometimes, but it was among her reasons for adoring it so much.

Valerie - Dormsssss

The dorms were nice. Way nicer than her own home, as much as she hated to admit it. A girl could get used to this kind of luxury. And they were getting a dance party! Valerie loved to party, even if the dance part might potentially be an issue.

Truth be told, Valerie had always had two left feet on the dance floor. But now she had no feet. What she did have was 3 meters of thick, muscular tail that could seriously hurt someone flailing wildly. Maybe some practice would be in order.

While she was contemplating this, the plant girl approached her. "Fala, wasss it? I have no objectionsssss to that, but jussssst so you know, thessssse two aren't my only babiessss. I have a little over twenty more to bring in, and mosssst of them could be consssssidered dangerousssss, to a human at leassst."

Valerie looked her up and down. "They're carnivoressss, of coursssse, sssso you should be fine. And I'm bringing plenty of ssssunlamps for them all."

"Oh...I..." She was about to say that they had never met before now, but well, that'd be uncalled for. Especially in the face of getting a blessing like that. "I don't know what to say."
And she didn't. She spent much of the time frozen when Soheila looked at her, through her. I can hear my heartbeat. That happens alot.. and I'm babbling. Not like she could see in her head. Not like the goddess can't see what thoughts are bubbling up from my soul... yeah, that is stupid... I mean...
"Is 'sweet one' my title now...?" Nestan mumbled, stumbling right out of the gate. Perfect. And I'm used to being inspected by Her. I suppose its different when one looks through you like this. "...I hope I would not babble like a fool the second time I met one." Second time. Yeah. Because that happens.
"I think I met you for a reason..." Nestan paused a beat. "I hope so at least, but you are the first. Before today, I had never seen a goddess naturally. Demons are a dime a dozen, and superhuman practitioners of all kinds are even more available. There are debates why. It might just be the times." She raised a finger a moment and took on a more solemn expression. "But, we weren't abandoned. I'm only here right now, because She chose me. But that was not a meeting. It was... and it... happened."

Klorae - Whale's Tale

Klorae had slipped close enough to Sohi and Nestan to overhear the last part of their conversation. She waited for Nestan to finish, then addressed the daeva herself. "I... heard a story from a whale once that kind of comes to mind. He said that a long time ago, he and his pod were crossing the Atlantic, south of Greenland, and he saw... well, translated, his description was something like:

"'Tall, thin, black as night, it strode across the ocean floor like nothing I had ever seen. It fought the water, not moving with it the way you and I do. And it pulled- everything around it seemed to be sucked towards it. And things that got too close... they were just gone. Into nothing. I stayed well away, and warned the pod to do the same.'

"You said you crossed the Atlantic, right? A while ago? It seems... pretty likely the whale saw you."

Dorms

Soheila merely smiled again at Nestan's comment on her choice of calling her ‘sweet one‘, but otherwise did not move. She only minutely moved her head at a deeper angle when she heard ‘second time’. Then beguilingly nodded as if in understanding, drawing in a single breath only for the purposes of raising her shoulders and shrugging.

“Yes. I see. I'm your first ‘natural’ encounter, then? You'll have to relate to me more when we have the time. I'm interested! And yes, ‘sweet one’. It's a title befitting. Don't feel anxious, your answer was perfect.”

So she'd encountered one before. Revered her, unless she knew no other name to call her by without drawing her attention. If she avoided details that was either trauma or sneakiness. Both, if she was well-adjusted. No, she wouldn't press her further. But Soheila did look at Nestan differently from then on.

Klorae approached at the tail end of their conversation. Soheila's colourless eyes moved first, then her head turned. She regarded the water elemental's words with interest, and all but fluttered like a peacock the more she went on. She tapped at her chin with her forefinger, laughed shortly, and brushed at her neck with her left hand.

Colourful, iridescent scales had replaced the skin for a moment. She brushed them away again, leaving only flesh.

“Likely story! That's not sarcasm; I mean it. I talk to things all the time, and I don't really care if they listen. I'm pleased one noticed me in return, and serenaded me from a distance. If that whale's still alive, tell him that ungodly thing said a cheery hello. That and she's sorry for being herself. Whatever soothes him. He was a smart one for staying away, at least.”

She drew in another sigh, this time to make a better transition for her next words.

“Yes, it was a while ago. I don't count years. Maybe half a human lifetime. The journey itself was longer. But from arriving ashore to now not so much. It was fun to see the ocean. It distinguishes me to have done it without gear. I might do it again.”

She had missed a lot, after all. She'd only beelined. There was so much hidden surface area to scour beneath the waves. She hadn't even explored much landmass. There was much to be done, and she couldn't deny the anticipation in her.

"WELL, GOLDIE NOT WANT TO DISTRACT YOU! YOU ALL BIG BOYS AND GIRLS! GOLDIE TRUST YOU TO MAKE RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS! HOPE TO SEE YOU AT DANCE!" And with a flash from their eyes and a push of the door, they were gone.


Gym, 7:00 PM

Despite being called a gym, it didn't resemble anything of the sort. Instead it was more like a massive disco hall, with flashing multicolored square panels and a giant floating ball to add to the aesthetic. Trays of drinks and refreshments floated to the students of their own accord, all while various spirits eager to relive their high school years were getting down above the rafters.

Down on the dance floor, students and teachers alike were getting into the groove, with old classics like Staying Alive, recent hits from local bands, and the occasional funeral march getting everyone in the mood. Even Goldie was dressed in a big floofy afro and silver sweater, ready to get down and boogie.

Of course, whether the students did the same remained to be seen.

And yet, despite all the fun festivities, those paying careful attention couldn't help but feel they were being watched.

Maybe it was the hooded hunchback in dark robes lurking in the corner?

Nah.

Micah - During Roommate Allocation

Micah's optics flickered towards Hali for a moment and he said nothing for a moment or two, the equivalent of three seconds. But in that time was enough for Micah to run several logical tests in his mind.

He technically didn't even need a room. He was simple, compact, had no outward/external possessions to take up space and for all intents and purposes, needed a simple wall outlet to be well taken care of. He didn't need a room let alone a room mate.

But Hali was a designated friend. She approached him with the offering and though every aspect of him wanted to not inconvenience her, his father did regale him in a lesson, namely that when someone offers the rose, to not look for the thorns. Based on her thermal readings and body language, she seemed to be offering this from the kindness of her own heart.

So, when she smiled, he tried to smile in return and it was obvious he wasn't used to smiling, but at least it wasn't as nightmarish as it could have been.

"Roomies." Simple, straight, to the point.

This would be nice.

Micah found it bitterly ironic, even for a robot with no understanding of Irony, that he truly didn't understand music, and dancing. Despite the fact that his father imput his entire musical collection in his hard drive, it was even a battle mode for him for the makers sake.

But he simply didn't understand it. A series of key changes, instrumental accompaniment and vocal pitching. He understood its history and it's impact on society, inside and outside.

He just didn't entirely understand it.

So as he stood off to the side in the massive gym, taking in the music that played and recognizing the music sheet that created it (F, G, G, D, F) he took the time to scan over the other occupants of the party. Some he recognized, some he didn't, he took their information down regardless.

To appear as though he looked like he belonged, he did tap his foot to the beat of the song.

"kicked around since I was born..."

And tried to sing but he kept that to himself mostly, because he had the singing capacity of a microwave.
