New Roommates

[myblueskies]

OOC: Catch all mingle thread for the roommate shuffle. Characters have woken up in a new room (or in the same room with new roommates.)

React, meet your new roommates, argue, draw partitioning lines on the floor!

I figure first person to post from a room put the number in the subject line, I'll add links to this post as they happen for easy organisation!

Mod post is: Here and Room assignments are Here

[Jade's eyebrows rise slightly at the question. Apparently this man didn't bother to check what floor he was actually on. Of course, given that Jade didn't notice him get moved in either, David probably never thought he would have reason to.]

I believe you've been moved in with us, actually.

[And that hits David like a metaphorical brick. His expression is rather like if he had been hit by a real one, too.]

Wait—what? Dis is 5-08, ain't it?

[sarcasmancer]

I'm afraid not. 1-06. It seems the administrators moved you in the middle of the night without any of us realizing it.

[Jade sounds awfully calm about that, all considered!]

Sorry about the delay!

[David's become quite animated, hurrying across the room over to where his bed is even as he responds to Jade's confirmation that he's not in Kansas anymore.]

—Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me—!

[Though, from the way he says that it's not so much disbelief at what Jade's saying—more like exasperation and frustration. He'd never once glanced at his trunk before heading out on his morning routine—David had gotten used to the idea that it and its contents would always still be there.]

[And right now, he's worried that they are indeed—back on the fifth floor. Or ... gone, which would be even worse.]

I took about 7x longer so that is A-OK

[Given that tone makes it clear that David speaks out of aggravation at the sudden change rather than anger or disbelief at anything Jade says, Jade shrugs.]

The administrators are well-known for their whims. As far as those go, this is actually rather benign.

S'all good! I can backtag fo' DAYS.

[Once David gets over to the trunk, he flips it open and starts rummaging through it ... a little too focused on finding out whether or not he's been left practically naked by the move. He still hasn't noticed the letter on his bedside dresser.]

[Pieces of armor are tossed onto the bed, followed by some other odds and ends: a wallet, a cigar travel case, a calendar, one of those good luck carvings Collette was giving out during Christmas, and some technological devices. One that looks roughly the size of a smartphone and the other shaped like a can of car wax ... and then, something less technological—an Orcish sword. The more he pulls out of the trunk, the more relieved he looks.]

'Kay ... Looks like it's all here—wait, where's my gun?!

[David goes back into mild panic as he pokes his head further in the trunk. No, it's not there—it was too big to fit there anyway, but the admins didn't even disassemble it again ... where'd he put it last time, behind the trunk?]

[David starts feeling around under the bed. That would just be salt in the wound, the admins deciding he didn't need it anymore just as he was figuring out a way to get some ammunition for the freakin' thing ...]
