Dorm 109

[nambusonyeo]

Soo Yong looked between the paper the administration gave her and the door, double-checking it was the right room. After a moment, she nodded, folding the paper in half and stuffing it in her jeans pocket, taking a deep breath. This was it. Her new home-away-from home. No crazy scientist mothers. No shadow puppeteering fathers. No constantly fighting triplet bros knocking into her room. Just her, and whoever else was beyond this door, for an entire year.

In a sudden swell of nerves, Soo Yong wondered if her roommates would be nice to her. Would they be Heroes? Sidekicks like her? Would it matter? The Korean's hands fluttered in her sleeves, before she clenched them tight. She straightened up, grinning with determination, and entered the dorm.

"Hiya, da ze!" Soo Yong greeted, waving her sleeve.

A few seconds in the ringing silence of the living area, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom alerted Soo Yong to the fact that the dorm was, in fact, still empty.

Blinking a bit, the Korean deflated, letting her arm drop and looking sheepish. "Ehe, all that build-up for nothing, huh?" she commented to her hair curl, blowing it gently to make it bob. Well, at least that gave her more time to set up.

Soo Yong wandered further in towards the bedrooms, peeking in to find four beds, all in the corners. Sneaking a glance around, the Korean immediately jump-tackled one of the window beds, letting out a loud cry of, "Dibs!" She giggled aloud, brushing back her bangs, and sat up on the bed properly. With a cheeky grin, she pulled a tabby-colored kitten plushie from her sleeves, setting it on the pillow as a decorative declaration.

With that, the cheerful Korean bounced back up, reaching into her sleeves and heading for the closet. Best to start unpacking now, right?

[awesomness]

Ugh, roommates. Fritzi didn't like the idea of sharing rooms, especially if they try to mess with her alone time... And it's not the lame alone time where inferior people would just sit around and think. No, Fritzi's alone time is so much more awesome than that, and you can see it in her diaries. She doesn't want anyone to see her diaries either, but that's because she doesn't want to deal with people who've been temporarily blinded by her work, of course. She never doubts herself.

She glanced down at the wrinkled paper in her gloved hand. Room 109. Ugh, such a boring number. Couldn't it be something like 169? Now that would be a nice dorm number to have, because then she could just take off the 1 and then it'll just be 69.

Her roommates are probably going to claim that she's a weird, arrogant bitch. Pfft, she can imagine it now, even though she has no idea who her roommates even are. People are in such denial, but they're just ignorant. They'll learn soon enough about what put the Great in Fritzi the Great.

She kicks the door open just hard enough so that it'll make a loud entrance but not so much that it'll break the door. The duffle bag over her shoulder was thrown right where the bed in the corner next to the window was and walked into the dorm, dragging her rolling case with her. She sees that there's another girl, an Asian with sleeves far longer than her arms. Do all Asians do this with their sleeves? Lame-o.

"Hey, the name's Fritzi the Great. You?"

[nambusonyeo]

Soo Yong had just finished putting up the last shirt in her closet when she heard the front door burst open. She jerked slightly, surprised, and peered out just in time to catch the other girl toss her bag. Soo Yong couldn't help but stare a bit when she noticed how light the other girl's hair was, or how pale she looked. And was it just her, or were those eyes red?

Soo Yong smiled, about to comment on how cool that was, when the other girl spoke first. The Korean girl closed her mouth, blinking, before she grinned again. "I'm Soo Yong. It's nice to meet you, da ze." She clasped her hands through her sleeves and made to bow her head, before quickly catching herself. Slightly sheepish, the Asian moved forward, drawing back her sleeve and holding out her hand to shake. She gave the other a friendly smile "Is 'the Great' really part of your name? Or is that the name you're planning to take for graduation?"

Ah, at some point she was going to have to ask the expected hero/sidekick question, but she figured the other would answer soon enough if she felt like sharing. Soo Yong glanced at the duffel on the bed, and noticed it was almost eclipsing her plushie. She giggled, and grinned up at the other. "Not a big believer in "first come, first serve"? That's okay, da ze--I'll take the other window-bed. As long as we keep our side free from the boys." The Korean winked, and made to grab for her kitten.

[awesomness]

"No it isn't, but it makes it sound better, doesn't it?" Fritzi shakes hands with the other girl, making sure that the glove doesn't fall out of her hand. Some would've asked her why she was wearing gloves upon first sight. She sounded friendly, like a lot of people would before they become friends or enemies. Stupid niceties. You can never tell what someone is truly thinking unless you try to possess them and try to sort out between all the different thoughts. She could try it now, for the fun of it, but no. Wait until the others arrive.

"Pfft, yeah, better to keep them boys away." Fritzi sat on her bed. Hmm, it was pretty decent for a dorm bed. Well, much better than last year's, where there was a snake living under it which made all of her other roommates freak out. Not her; she was able to release the snake back to the wild without a single squeamish sound. Alright, she screamed once, but that's because it was right in front of her face in the middle of the night while everyone else was just snoozing around.

"So... what can you do? Like, what's your powers?" Yeah, yeah, it's an overrated question around here, but Fritzi likes to know what powers everyone else has just in case, to see who would be better to possess, "I have Latent Abilities." She leaves possession out, since it's always fun to prank people with a power they didn't expect. Hopefully this girl isn't the goody-two-shoes type that tries to ruin the fun all the time. It doesn't seem so by the way she acted so far, though. Maybe the girl had something like illusions(which would be the second best pranking power ever, besides possession, of course.)

Was that a hair curl on her head? There's quite a few people around here who have those. Odd. Fritzi thinks she sees a face in there too, a smiling one. Nope, that's not weird at all... Then again, Fritzi's albino-ness was almost always seen as weird. Those people were just in denial about how awesome being an albino is. Except maybe the sun, but who even likes the sun? It's just too bright and makes people sweat, eww.

[nambusonyeo]

Soo Yong cradled the kitten plushie and moved toward her own bed, twisting around and letting herself fall back with a "flop," bouncing slightly before the springs settled. Cradling the stuffed cat in her arms, the Korean tilted her head towards the other, eyes bright and curious.

"Latent Abilities? Never heard of those before, da ze. What kind?" She blinked then, realizing that she had asked a question before answering the other's, and grinned again. "Oh, sorry--I make portals. Glorified short-cuts, so far, but I think they've got potential to be more!"

Ah, was that arrogant of her to say? Well, at least it was honest. Soo Yong smiled, crossing her feet on the bed, wiggling her purple-toed socks as she got comfortable. "I can also carry things in my sleeves, da ze," she added, blowing Sang Hee out of her eyes. "I'll be a useful sidekick, that's for sure."

Soo Yong quietly held her breath, waiting on the other's reaction. She had heard so many horror stories about the unfortunate hero-sidekick dichotomy from her Appa, and her Umma had warned her not to let herself be pushed around by "those obnoxious capes" once she had told them the news of her designation. Now the Korean was taking a chance, and hoping her roommate was the type to see the person beyond the power.

[awesomness]

So Soo Yong is a sidekick... In most cases, Fritzi would openly mock her, but she heard of that name a couple of times and she didn't seem all that bad, so Fritzi elected that she would be benevolent to her for now. Besides, it's easier to win people like that, though she could always use force.

"You don't know what Latent Abilities are? Well, I can make stuff explode or combust if I get pissed off. Pretty awesome, right?" She smirks, remembering one time when this little punk tried to piss her off and his hat burst into flames and he started to freak out. Oh, this year is going to be fun~

"Portals seem pretty useful, especially for getting away with pranks. You're not one of those Asian goody-two-shoes, are ya?" Fritzi heard a little "peep" from the duffel bag. Oh how could she forget? She opened the bag, where four little chicks hopped out onto the bed.

"Aw, I'm sorry little guys. I won't do that again, alright?" One of them, Albert, cheeped loudly in protest, "Hey, I wasn't trying to do that on purpose, you know!" She looks up at Soo Yong, assuming that she was going to ask why there were four birds in her bag, "These are my awesome, little chicks; Wilhelm, Fritz, Victoria, and Albert. They're like my little sidekicks in pranks. Say hi to Soo Yong, Fritzibirds."

Victoria, being the polite little Fritzibird that she is, does something like a curtsy, if birds could curtsy. Wilhelm, Fritz, and Albert just cheep loudly at the stuffed kitty that Soo Yong was holding. That stuffed animal wasn't going to last long, is it? Well then.

[nambusonyeo]

Soo Yong's eyes widened, and she smiled more. Spontaneous combustion? That was an amazing power! Umma would have had so much fun dissecting that one. "It does sound awesome, da ze!" she agreed, nodding. "I guess I just never heard it called 'Latent Ability' before."

While she smiled at the compliment, Soo Yong quirked an eyebrow at the "Asian goody-two-shoes" question. Hm. Well, while she planned to be on the force of good, and she wasn't about to let her studies suffer for it, there was nothing wrong with a little pranking every now and then, right? Just a harmless bit of fun, once in a while...She let her grin gain an edge. "Hardly! Pranking originated in Korea, y'know!"

It was then that something in the room gave a small "peep." Soo Yong blinked, tilting her head, and was just about to ask Fritzi if she had heard that when the Prussian was opening her bag, letting four little balls of yellow fluff spill out onto her bed. The Korean blinked, watching the little puffs hop around and peep, before finally realizing what they were.

Her smile grew, and she hugged her plushie tighter to her body. "Awww, da ze, they're adorable! <3" Giggling, she slowly held out one sleeve to the birds, being careful not to startle them. "Annyeonghaseyo~!"

[ANTONIO FERNANDEZ CARRIEDO]

His dorm was room 109, wasn't it? After digging the paper out of his pocket, Antonio gave it a quick confirmation glance before entering. The dorm looked just like all the other ones he had been in, it was just the people that changed. Hopefully these roommates would be less obnoxious than his last ones. He could never get a decent nights sleep in his old dorm, they even forced him to have one of the beds next to the window. Every morning he woke to sun in his face, no matter how many clouds he summoned in front of it. Though his old roommate's powers were probably the cause of that.

Yes, if his new roommates were nice, quiet people, he would be so much happier. Speaking of them, he heard female voices echoing from the bedroom, the door wide open. Were they here already? Antonio stuck his head in the room to scope it out. It looked like there was still one person who had yet to arrive, but for now he was in the company of two rather cute ladies. "Hola you two! I hope I'm not interrupting anything," he said as he walked in and set his bag on an empty bed, before walking over to them. "My name is Antonio, Nice to meet you!"
