Movin' in (Post dated)

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi had finished the test and held her stuffed animal and bag close.  She wasn't sure exactly what she was supposed to do next.  Sage had told her to wait, so that's what she was doing, sitting kicking her feet a little in a chair.


At least things hadn't been painful yet.

After Sage had confirmed the room assignment and Rachel had time between classes and individual lessons, she swung by to pick up Bobbi. She might go to sleep early tonight. Possibly after making Doug eat some sandwiches or cupcakes.

"Ready to go?"

[iced_cherub]

She nodded. "I'm ready. Everything okay?"

She slid off the seat looking like she was a little tired. "So were you able to find where I'm rooming?"

[nohoundsallowed]

"Everything's fine," Rachel assured. "Just a busy day for me. Everything piles up when your absent."

She gave Bobbi a smile and helped her with her things with a little tk.

"Yes. You'll have a roommate like most of the other students here."

[iced_cherub]

"I'll take care of putting my stuff away then, so you don't have to help, that way it eases up some stuff right? And I can ask my roommate to show me around maybe?"

[nohoundsallowed]

"That would help a little bit. Thank you." She gave Bobbi an apologetic smile. The girl looked tired and the redhead didn't mean to be in a rush.

"I'm sure your roommate will show you around. If her bark gets to you, just give her wide, innocent eyes and a lower lip wobble. She's just like her father in that regard, gets them every time." She winked.

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi wasn't taking it personally, after all she had a long day.

"She barks?"

[nohoundsallowed]

"Not literally." She paused. "Not that I'm aware of."

Rachel shrugged. "Ah, here we are. Your new home away from home."

As much as the robots taking care of the girl worried Rachel, she couldn't do much about it now. Though it would probably blow up spectacularly in their faces sometime in the near future.

[iced_cherub]

"Ah okay." She grinned.

Stepping into the room she noted it was about the size of hers back home, but there were two beds. Walking over to the one that didn't look like it was being used she set her penguin down on it. "Good thing I'm a small person." She grinned.

[wild_child]

The other half the of the room was well enough occupied, with the bed, a dresser, a desk with a laptop, and a rather stuffed bookcase. Most of the titles appeared to be in Japanese, though a few were in English. Several would appear to be books on philosophy. A Japanese wall scroll occupied another portion of that side. If one were to look in the closet, one would find a generous amount of denim and flannel.

At the door, there soon appeared a short girl, barely five feet tall. Her dark hair was cut in a pixie-ish bob, her eyes slightly golden. She wore jeans with holes in them, cowboy boots, and a plaid flannel shirt with a white t-shirt under it. She moved with an economy of motion, every step balanced and perfect.

"This th' new kid?" she asked of Rae.

[nohoundsallowed]

Ah yes! Introductions. The sooner Rachel got through with this, the sooner she could go back to attacking her pile of work and reschedulings.

"Yes, it is," she answered, getting both girls' questions in one sentence.

"Rose, this is Bobbi Angelus. Bobbi, this is Rose Logan. I now pronounce you roommates."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi gave Rose a smile as she moved closer to the older girl holding out her hand. "Hello, I promise I'll make sure to keep my part of the room clean."

[wild_child]

Rose took in the new girl's measure for a moment, her nostrils flaring briefly as she took in her scent as well.

Huh.

She took the other girl's hand. "Appreciate it."

[nohoundsallowed]

"Rose, if you'd help her settle in and get a student's eye view of the place, I'd appreciate it. Just keep her out of the Danger Room for now." Rachel nodded to both girls and then withdrew from the room so they could get to know each other better.

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi's scent would have a hint of something cold on it, as well as feathers.

"Hm... You don't have a problem with birds do you Rose? I mean... Well, it's kind of because I have wings."

[wild_child]

Definite... huh.

Rose shrugged. "Growin' up 'round this place? Nah."

She paused, then went on. "Word of warnin'... I been told I'm kinda crazy."

[iced_cherub]

"Okay that's cool then." She pulled off her hoodie. "Don't worry if I molt I'll clean up the feathers.

"Crazy's good, I think I can handle Crazy."

[wild_child]

She nodded. "Good. Scared the last roommate off."

[iced_cherub]

"I don't think I want to know how yet. I'd rather get to know you first." She grinned as she pulled the rest of her clothes from her bag to finish unpacking.

"And I don't... Okay I do scare easily, but I don't let it stop me. Probably should sometimes." She shrugged a little.

[wild_child]

Tough enough chickie, Rose reckoned.

"Wouldn't know. Too stubborn ta back down. Family trait."

[iced_cherub]

"Doesn't run in mine. Daddy and mom are always saying it's bad for me to make waves because I'm different... Though they used to let me vent frustrations by freezing the pool solid if I needed to. Kept everyone from knowing. I'm just glad I don't have to wear the hoodies here. I like being able to stretch my wings."

"You have siblings? I'm an only child."

[wild_child]

"One dorky older brother, one dorky younger brother, and one little sister who's too smart and too adorable fer her own good," Rose explained.

She considered. "An' probably more I don' know about. Pops gets around."

[iced_cherub]

She grinned a little. "So family of smart kids."

"Mom and Dad are close. Mom's probably going nuts trying to figure out what to do with me out of the house, she's a stay at home mom, while Daddy works in an office."

[wild_child]

Rose snickered. "Smart ain't the word I'd used fer the dorks."

[iced_cherub]

"Really, most I know from my old school were."

[wild_child]

Rose snickered. "You don't know my brothers."

[iced_cherub]

"Are they really that bad?" She turns to look at her roommate.

[wild_child]

"Only when they're in earshot," Rose snickered.

[iced_cherub]

"Are they now?" She peeks to the door, it's still open, but doesn't seem to have anyone lurking around it.

[wild_child]

"Maybe," Rose said. "David's got as good a hearin' as pops and me."

[iced_cherub]

"Okay that might suck a little. I think I would have gone nuts if I knew Dad or Mom were able to hear me when I left the room."

[wild_child]

Rose laughed at that. "Oh, Dad'd known even if he didn't have that. Guy's almost impossible to sneak past. Gettin' better at it tough."

[iced_cherub]

"Really? He must be better than Daddy." She gave a small grin. "Maybe I could practice too."

[wild_child]

Another snicker. "The man's th' best there is at what he does."

Rose looked her over. "I dunno. Ya look like the goody-two-shoes type ta me..."

[iced_cherub]

"Ooh, so a real challenge."

"What? I do not! I've gotten into fights before." Okay so they were to protect others but still.

[wild_child]

"Hmm. I dunno.... Didja win?"

[iced_cherub]

"Of course I did." She smiled brightly. "Had the bullies running. Had to, I didn't want them to hurt my friends."

[wild_child]

Rose smirked. "Ya might be all right after all, Frosty."

[iced_cherub]

"Thanks." She giggled a little. "I'll try at least."
