(Room 1-07)

[Hello new roommates; you're in for a lot of swearing. First as Amelia wakes up from her sleep paralysis, even more when she reads the intro letters. And then when she discovers what absolutely (not) vital items are in her trunk. Nice to meet you too.]


(Dormitory Floor 1)

[There's a young woman wandering the hallways, looking more than a little lost in an oversized Christmas sweater that is still not quite long enough to get away with being a dress. She's trying to make the leggings-as-pants look work for her with the jumpsuit.

Also, she has wings. Large brown feathery ones. If you know your raptor taxonomy, they most closely resemble those of a bald eagle.]

(Floor 1 - Cafeteria)

[Okay, so she might have woken up in some weirdo tower with crazy people, but when she eventually makes her way to the cafeteria floor, Amelia is finally in her element. Chocolate pancakes, chocolate milk, all sorts of muffins? Yes please.

Forget oatmeal, that's boring.]

Cafeteria

[colorfulbrilliance]

[Don't mind the seriously unhappy tall Chinese girl wandering through to grab a muffin because that's all she knew she'd be able to hold down for now. It'll take her a moment to notice the new face and take in those wings.]

I'm guessing that you are new?

[Meiling is trying to sound nice and not angry as she had been since things were announced. It's working..mostly...but then she shakes her head a bit, although she's going to forget to introduce herself.]

If you haven't...I'd eat the oatmeal. It's better then losing what good things they can offer sometimes.

[ladyliberty]

New, yeah, I guess so. [Amelia already has a tray piled high with non-oatmeal foodstuffs and isn't focusing on much else.] What's so special about the oatmeal?

[colorfulbrilliance]

Welcome to hell. You'll find out why eventually. I'm Meiling.

[Said as flat as could be. Meiling isn't one to sugar coat it anymore, Sorry!]

We don't know..but it keeps you from throwing up everything you eat. Not fun to deal with, yourself or others you care about.

[Remembering trying to get a vampire child to eat the oatmeal. Not fun.]

[ladyliberty]

[Well she'd already gathered that it wasn't Disneyland.]

Amelia. [She looks longingly at the food on her tray, and then back at the oatmeal.] Eurgh. It looks like someone threw that stuff up already.

dormitory floor 1

[colonial]

Hey! [America, wandering down the hall with his rabbit in his arms, noticed Amelia's face before her wings. He'd spoken to her before, or at least he thought he had, but when his eyes flick to the wings he looks a bit more shy.]

Oh, you're a different one.

[ladyliberty]

Huh? [Amelia turns around and looks down at the little voice. Oh gosh, it's a baby. What do.]

Ah... no, sorry, I'm not your mama.

[colonial]

Oh, I know, I don't have one of those. [America fidgets a bit in place.] I met a different you before here, that's all.

[ladyliberty]

[Oh. Um. Hm. Amelia squats down to be closer to his level.]

You mean you knew someone who looked like me?

Floor 1

[idkworldruler]

Is it Christmas in July? [The voice was slightly muffled as a result of the gas mask that was covering the face that the words were coming from. Strait ending his black tie and blue suit as he stared at the blond from behind the goggles.]

You seem more than a little lost.

[ladyliberty]

It was the only thing that was in my stupid trunk. [Amelia grumbles as she fidgets with the hem of the sweater. When she looks up, she starts a little.] What's with the gas mask?

[idkworldruler]

Well to be honest my face is horribly scared underneath. So I have to wear this mask as to not frighten beautiful women like you.

[Obviously a lie, he just thinks it looks cool on him and goes good with the uniform...like most other members of his society. Cyber punk for the win. That should be his new catch phrase now that he thinks about it. It almost gets a chuckle out of him.]

[ladyliberty]

[She smiles. At least he didn't say 'because the room is filled with poison gas.']

Oh, I bet I've seen worse. Do you know your way around here?

Dorm Floor One

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko had finished up with her library duties and was heading back with a few books to munch on in private. At least, as private as it could be when a retrieval unit with a nametag pointing him out as Ivan wearing a paper hat on his head and a a certain message on his chest, since it was taped there. However, when Tohko spotted the winged, lost-looking girl, she wandered up to her, with Ivan just a few feet behind her.]

Pardon me, but are you a newcomer here?

[ladyliberty]

Yeah, I am. I just woke up here a little while ago. I don't know what's going on.

[tohko_amano]

Ah, I see..

[At that, Tohko sighed. Normally, welcoming newcomers wasn't that hard, and while Tohko liked seeing them here, it was never pleasant to inform them about everything in the Tower, since the information wasn't the best.

But it was better than a lie.]

If you want, I would be more than happy to tell you about the Tower. You'll have to steel yourself though. Some of this might come as a bit of a shock.

[ladyliberty]

You mean, more of a shock than waking up in some freaky place with a weird collar on and a letter saying my world's been destroyed?

dorm floor 1

[terreifying]

Whoa, cool!

[Rei stares at the large wings on the other girl's back.]

Nice wings.

[ladyliberty]

Oh, thanks. I grew them myself.

[terreifying]

[She nods.]

How high can you fly with them? Do they do anything other than let you fly?

[keybearer]

[She's not alone in the cafeteria. While Riku now knows that this food is all really nutrition bars, one of the perks of the glamour system is the fact that it at least looks, tastes, and feels like something more substantial.

But this girl looks totally pumped, and he can't fight back an amused chuckle for very long.]

Going right for the goods, huh? I'd be careful about that.

[ladyliberty]

Hm? [Amelia turns, in the middle of forking more pancakes onto her plate.] Whyzat?

[keybearer]

Because the oatmeal's kind of a rite of passage here. If you don't start there, well... You might end up losing the rest of your meal.

[And that's not exactly a fun experience, even if the stuff tastes super bland.]

Cafeteria! Because they have the same name and I can't pass this up.

[gradosfinest]

[As far as Amelia was concerned, this was pretty much a day just like any other. Wake up, gear up, head for the cafeteria for breakfast. But while she did know a girl with wings back home, that doesn't exactly make them common which is why the other Amelia grabs her attention. Probably a newcomer too, she's willing to bet. So why not introduce herself?

So that's when she approaches, managing a fairly friendly looking smile despite the fact the girl is wearing what appears to be medieval armor with no helmet, complete with a strange black axe slung across her back and a sword at her belt. She even waves as she approaches.]

Excuse me, ma'am! I don't think I've seen you around here before.

Amelia buddies!

[ladyliberty]

[Rather than being intimidated by the armored woman, Amelia's face seems to light up at her approach. After all, she looks friendly.]

Woah! Sweet gear!

Not her actual expression, but it's pretty much how she feels.

[gradosfinest]

[Oh. Oh man now you've done it other-Amelia. If there's one thing that always gives Amelia's mood a boost it's having someone compliment her armor. Her smile even turns into a full blown grin at this point as she tries not to let it go to her head.

She's had a rough couple of months, that helped more than she thought it would.]

Oh, thank you! I wish I had my full armor from back home, it's even better... and I like your wings too! I haven't seen many people with them around here, now that I think about it.
