[It's morning, and Rolo is seated in the corner of the cafeteria. A half-eaten porridge, a cellphone with a locket, a ring signifying Emerald sponsorship, an issue of the Balamb Newsletter, a course catalog and a small notebook lay on the table. Presently, Rolo is focused on the last two and scrawling away on the notebook over what courses to take

[Since it seems that the cafeteria is swarming with cadets and staff alike, Padmé takes her tray to Rolo's table which looks to be empty save for him. She's a little hesitant as the cadet looks preoccupied and she doesn't want to disturb him but she manages her way through the throngs of people and gently sets her tray of breakfast down.]

May I join you?

[expiries]

[He stops writing when he sees the tray from the corner of his eyes, then raises his head upon hearing the question. He hadn't expected anyone to approach him. Still, he has no reason to deny her and so nods in affirmation.]

Mm.

[ofherfate]

I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you.

[She takes her seat and quietly goes about stirring her bowl of porridge, adding the brown sugar.]

[expiries]

Not at all. I'm only working on a schedule, so . . .

[Though he's stopped for the moment.]

after lunch;

[pyromatics]

[Down the hall is Zuko, he's just exited his dorm room. He locks it behind him and turns to head down the hall in Rolo's direction. Zuko looks at him as he approaches, books under his arm. This kid must be new, he doesn't remember seeing him around before unless the kid kept to being invisible whenever entering and exiting his dorm...]

[expiries]

[In the process of checking out the dormitory's general layout, Rolo sees Zuko as he walks the opposite way right in his direction. Since he's already being looked at, he may as well start this off -- ]

Excuse me. Do I use the elevator in the lobby to access the rest of the dormitory?

[pyromatics]

[Stopping Zuko looks back at him again.]

...isn't that your room there?

[expiries]

[Oh, that was a door he happened to be staring a second too long at -- ]

The first digit is the floor designation, right? I'm supposed to be on the second floor.

[Danny never knows where to sit at meal times. It takes him a few minutes, but he spots a seat in the corner and decides to take a seat there. When he slides into the seat with his breakfast, he spots a boy sitting across from him with...a lot of stuff spread out on the table, wow.]

That's, uh... What are you doing?

[7AM FRIENDLINESS IS GO!]

[expiries]

[Oh, someone is sitting across from him. He stops writing and looks up at Danny. It's not that big a deal, he supposes. He's got the basic gist of everything down, anyway.]

Organizing the schedule for this quarter.

[totallynotaspaz]

Oh.

[What now? He blinks, not sure what else to say, and instead just stares at the wide spread of items around Rolo.]

Well, you're...a lot more organized about it than I was! Heh.

[expiries]

[The pen rests on the page, unmoving. Rolo thinks it's not much, considering he's just writing out possible courses and deciding what order to take them would be most logical.]

I missed half the quarter. There's a lot to catch up on.

JAEEEE. /breaks hiatus for you

[notdusk]

[oh. that's the table she usually sat at..

But that's not a problem! He looked new (and a little distant) so she might as well welcome him, right?

Dawn approaches him from behind and taps him on the shoulder, waving with a small smile plastered on her face.]

Do you mind if I sit here?

AMELIAAA. s-so good to me.

[expiries]

[He starts, and, convincing himself that drastic measures need not be used considering the setting, looks over his shoulder. He gazes up at Dawn with an innocent look, like he's been taken by mild surprise.]

Ah, no. Not really.

after lunch; hi roomie =D

[destroyforalice]

[Oz was quietly reading a book for his Psychology lessons. Sure he had only just started classes this week, but it doesn't mean he can't read one of the books based upon the subject he was learning. By now he was slightly use to the fact that he didn't have to share a room, but he knew that at some point someone might turn up.]

'sup, roomie.

[expiries]

[And it's at that point the door slides open, revealing Rolo as he takes a couple steps inside. He slows his pace with a soft "oh" when his eyes land on Oz. It's a stranger -- and his roommate, from the looks of things.]

[destroyforalice]

[He looks up, taking a peek from the top when he spotted someone come in. He guessed this must be his roommate, but that was only a very good guess. Closing his book, he placed it to the side with a smile and stood up.]

Hello, I'm guessing you must be my new roommate?

[expiries]

[Rolo doesn't take another step forward and stays rooted to his spot two or three feet in front of the door. After a second or so of pause, he nods.]

If you live here, then I am.
