JT walked quietly through the forest to his dorm. With map in one hand, and suitcase in the other, he kept looking down, then up, then down again to make sure he wasn't lost, until he came upon the building.
"Home sweet home I guess..." He sighed, then opened the front door with the key he had obtained from the Phoenix university administrative staff. He went in, then looked for his name on a list that said who had which dorm with who.
"d**nit..." He whispered to himself. He was disappointed, he was hoping for co-ed dormitories. He then turned around and took a good look at the people sitting in the main lobby.
"Hello roommates!" He said happily.

"Wow this is amazing!" Jessica Eauclaire spun on her heals, arms wide with a broad grin on her face. "This place is so big and romantic! Imagine all the stories that have started here!" A faint flush came to her cheeks as she sighed, daydreaming. To onlookers, she seemed to be talking to no one. But that was because her companion had slunk away, leaving a large duffel bag on a chair in his place.
The sound of the door opening caught the girl's attention right away. She turned quickly and rushed over to greet the newcomer. "Hi there! Welcome to Dorm 13!" She announced cheerily. "I'm Jessica, but you can call me Jess. Well I guess you don't have to, thats just what most people do..." She scrunched up her nose, lost in thought for a moment before continuing. "Oh! Thats my brother Jack!" She indicated towards the luggage with a tanned finger, not bothering to look. "What's your name?" She smiled brightly, holding her hands behind her back and blowing a lock of dark red hair from her face.

Jacobo, in the meanwhile was unpacking the rest of his things in his assigned room, looking perfectly miserable. He had been d**ned to this house, this humiliating blemish on the school's property. And he thought he was doing well at Phoenix, too... The boy's face was hidden by the shadow of a hooded sweatshirt pulled over his head, a few strands of blondish hair falling into his eyes.
"This is just perfect... I have to be stuck with her again... I thought I'd gotten away." He shook his head and lifted a mirrored, thin silver case from a cardboard box. The young man licked his thumb and rubbed a smudge into oblivion. "Maybe things will turn out..." He muttered, setting the trinket on his desk.

"Hey, I am JT." He said kindly. "Are the dorms Co-Ed? I couldnt tell. Maybe we are roomiez!" He said with a playful grin. He knew he had a new friend already.

Arianna didn't partake in the welcoming of new members or rejoicing in the meetings between old friends. She like to watch, and decide who was worth their place in Dorm 13 and who was placed here for stupid reasons.
This Jessica girl seemed rambunxious, maybe a tad over the top. Her brother, who had left a few moments earlier, seemed more of a laid-back type of person. The newest arrival, whom she didn't recognize, appeared cheerful, though a little lost. Hopefully, he wouldn't do anything stupid this year like some of the past occupants had done.
"What do you think, Zyndazi? Should I introduce myself now or wait to see who comes back and who is new?" Her black and white flying feline raised his head from where he sat curled up on her head. He wasn't large, but his wings made him look like a feathery hat when he was still. "Do whatever. Just don't do anything to me like you did last year. That wasn't funny."
He hopped down into his creater's lap and fell asleep again, and Arianna grinned despite herself. That was hilarious, what happened the year before. She had dyed her fox's fur a bright pink, and locked him out of her room, allowing everyone to see the male in a lovely pink outfit. He still hadn't forgiven Rin for what he thought a very rude prank.
The woman stayed where she was, petting Zyndazi and watching the dorm members with her white-black eyes. She would wait a bit more before introducing herself; some members found her white and black appearance somewhat unsettling- that and the fact that she had been held back a year.

"Who is that, over there?" He asked, pointing over to Arianna.
"Is she friendly?"

Jessica's smile broadened at the pleasant response. "Really I have no idea! My brother said he has a single so I don't know where I'm going to be staying." She frowned a bit and put her hands on her hips. "My schedule didn't say, it only had a room number for the dorm house they crossed out."
The redhead blinked, loosing her track of thought entirely and turned in the direction JT was pointing then gasped. "Oh my gosh!" She squeaked. "I didn't see her here! I decided that I was going to meet everyone that came in! Ooh I messed up already..." She thrust her lower lip out in a pout. The sad expression didn't last long and she grabbed a hold of her new friends' arm and tugged on it. "Cummon! Its not nice to not say hello!" She hurried over towards the silently seated student cheerfully. "Hello! I'm Jessica and this is JT! We're here too! Whats your name? Is this your first year too?"

"Yeah, I am JT." He said awkwardly, kind of stunned how he was pulled across the room so easily- even with his weight. "Whats your name?"

The woman cringed at having been spoken to first, but covered it quickly with a cheerful smile. "Call me Arianna." She motioned to the sleeping form of her feline. "And this is Zyndazi. He's a feline that can fly. Nice to meet you." If Jessica is like this the whole year, I'm gonna freeze her or set some pixies on her Ariann thought to herself, watching the two students.

"Hey thats interesting!" JT exclaimed. "Did you make that out of biological alchemy or just pure summoning?"

"Um...Zyn isn't an 'it', he's a 'he', and no, I drew him then used an old spell to give him life." Arianna stroked her pet, who stayed asleep.

"Wow thats amazing! You must have had to study really hard to do that sort of magic." She leaned forward and prodded the sleeping animal. "I would have guessed you got him at a pet shop." She admitted. She was a little intimidated by this Arianna, frankly, but her philosophy was that everyone was friendly on the inside! There is always a way to break past a defensive exterior, right?

"Okay, so pure summoning." He assumed, then continued on.
"What dorm number are you?"

Rin scowled. "No, I did not summon him, and Jess, he doesn't like to be woken up." To prove this point, Zyndazi hissed and batted at her extended hand with his black paw- claws retracted, of course. "Do that again, and you'll regret it."
Remember the question the young man had asked, she nodded in the direction of a closed grey door down the hall. "I stay in the only room with a colored door- my doing of course....I've had it that way since I moved in; the brown wood didn't appeal to me, and this building has seemed to allow me to keep the color." She fell silent, and waited for the two to either leave, or pester her and her sleeping friend with more questions.

The girl's eyes lit up. "Wooow!" She squealed. "He's so cute!! I love cats! I had a pet cat once, but you're much smaller. I wasn't allowed to keep Shire in my room, though. The one time I tried to sneak him in I got caught and was grounded for a week." Poor Zyndazi was given a momentary break as the freshman was lost in thought.

Lost in thought, looking out the window at the surrounding trees, Arianna only mumbled a distant, "Mmhm..." She was thinking back to her first days in Dorm 13, and the time she gave life to Zyn.
