Just moving in

[sinister_blade]

Who: Katarina Du Couteau and innocent passers
What: Moving in takes a lot of space
Where: Katarina's room
When: Friday, from early morning through the day and night
Warnings: She has foul language, she is deadly and there might be big quarrels if she gets too annoyed.

Katarina kicked the box filled with bunch of crap inside the room, making it glide over and stop when it hits the other boxes (that entered the room in the same way). There wasn't much in the room- yet. The couch was pushed in one part of the room, bookshelf fixed half-way, writing desk near the window filled with paperwork.

Everywhere else there are boxes. They are crowding the already small place and even blocking the entrance door, making the door impossible to close.

She huffed and plopped down on couch, grabbing sandwiches from the plate that was on the box next to it.

This is why she hated moving.

Oh, hey hallmate. Jin noticed the clanging and swearing coming from the open door on the way to his own room. Against his better judgement, he slowed down to see which one of the new additions it was.

SORRY SO LATE AM LAME D8

[sinister_blade]

She looked up from her sitting place, hearing the door open somewhere... Down the hall? Up the hall? This place is messing with her orientation skills. She stood up and glided between the boxes, peering in the hallway.

"Who's there?"

NO NO YOU ARE FINE :D

[majorjealousy]

Jin blinked, adjusting the reading glasses perched on his nose.

"Another teacher." Considering he was younger than many of the university students, he always chose to lead with that.

[shallajin]

Ellistree was passing by when she noticed the show. She smiled and raised a brow, moving over and looking in as she crossed her arms below her chest.

"Having fun huh? Seems like you're not too happy about the living arrangements perhaps?"

[sinister_blade]

Katarina was in the middle of the chewing so she didn't answer immediately. She also didn't move from her sitting place either.

She tossed away the sandwich wrapper:"Too small." Hey, she used to live in a manor, don't judge her.

[luneshalla]

"I agree, but that is why I prefer living outdoors~" Ellistree mused as she looked in.

"Walls tend to be too constricting for me."

[sinister_blade]

"Outdoors? Like in the forest and such?" Huh... she could be friend with Needalee so easily.

"Come on in. Take a sandwich if you're hungry," she nodded at the plate that was on the one of the boxes. Hey- assassins can be friendly... can't they?

[luneshalla]

Ellistree grinned and nodded as she walked in, taking a sandwich and plopping on the couch.

"Yeah, pretty much. It's nice around here why not enjoy it right?" she replied with a smile as she bit into the sandwich.

[sinister_blade]

"Unless you're being stalked by wild hunters or your own allies," she muttered under her breath. Needalee almost speared her when she was training once in the woods. Not too fond of the forests right now.

She turned towards her, leaning against the wall next the window:"So how's this place works?"

[shallajin]

"But that's part of the fun and excitement! The thrill of the hunt, the game of prey and predator! All of the things that make the blood rush through the body."

She smiled and looked over at her. "Not entirely sure yet, I arrived recently. I decided to attend classes since I wished to learn about this place."

[sinister_blade]

She smirked. Yeah, that sounded all so familiar:"Yes but I like to do my stuff in complete silence." Yes, that's how assassins like it.

"Oh? Which classes will you take?" She asked, looking around for somewhere to sit on. Stupid boxes...

[luneshalla]

"I plan on taking as many as I can while leaving time for exploring. I intend to learn as much as I can from this world and what it has to offer." she smiled looking out in thought.

[sinister_blade]

She found the box with bottles of water, pulling one out. "Hmm... you sound like my sister." She really did. Not that Katarina missed her or something. Of course not. "I teach blades here so I hope to see you around."

[luneshalla]

"Blades hm?" Ellistree mused and smiled back at her. "I've never really had a necessity for them, but as I said I was here to learn everything I could, I will surely find myself in your class at some point."

[explosion_day]

Up on the ceilings of the school were rails--management rails everywhere; all over the hallways, the library, the cafeteria, heck even some classrooms and dorms were not free from an All Seeing Robot Eye.

"Well hello there, angel."

This robot eyeball had been watching (and was now following) Katarina move boxes back and forth with rapt interest.

[sinister_blade]

She frowned and looked up, her eyebrows furrowed. What the heck was that thing? Something like... Blitzkrank? Robotic-something-widget?

She snorted, shaking her head lightly:"I am far from angel. But hello to you too." She turned back to the box filled with books and tomes.

[explosion_day]

"Oh, I coulda' sworn I was in heaven seein' you around here." Obviously she was so completely entranced by his manly charisma that even looking at him was a sin. Or so Rick would believe.

"Whatcha' got in that box there? You need any help carryin' it? I can lift ten--no--twenty of those things easy."

The little robot eyeball fixated to the ceiling with no arms and legs sounded very sure of himself.

[sinister_blade]

The metal ball just got 'you-have-to-be-kidding-me-look' from Katarina. A pick-up line? By robot? And lame one at that? She felt her eye twitch suddenly.

"They are called books. Did you hear of them?" Yes, that was a hostile snort and sarcasm. And an eye-roll but followed with smirk:"Okay, let's see what you can do."

She slid between the boxes and stood on the other side of the room:"Align them all against the wall, neatly one on the other." This should be amusing.

[explosion_day]

"Pfff. I know books. All over in the library and up Wheatley's butt."

Not enough pictures in those books, in his opinion. Her challenge was gracefully accepted though, not wanting to risk any blow to his testosterone laden and far-too-big-to-be-contain-inside-his-body ego.

"Alright! Stand back." THIS WAS ABOUT TO GET SERIOUS. HE TOOK A DEEP BREATH not that he needed to breathe AND THEN...

"Wait, you want them against that wall--" His green optic of an eye 'pointed' to the left, then the right. "--or that wall?"

If he was going to impress her he had to do it right, you see.

[sinister_blade]

She nodded with the 'of-course-you-do' skeptic look and remained standing where she was. With slight smirk on her face.

She raised her hand, pointing at the far wall of the room that was empty. "I want them against that wall. One by one. Smaller and lighter boxes on heavier ones. In neat pile so they don't fall down."

She tilted her head to the side, playing with lock of hair:"Can you do that?"

[explosion_day]

"Okay right. Up against that wall." Rick repeated, swiveling around in his casing as if to puff out his non-existent chest.

"Just gotta' put myself in the right position here..." Are you ready for this, Katarina? Rick DISENGAGED HIMSELF FROM THE MANAGEMENT RAIL with a dramatic click.

And fell.

Right on top of one of her boxes.

And he just kind of wiggled around, flipping his handle bars about for a bit and making grunting sounds, as if the box was very heavy. He was trying really hard and it was very ineffectual.

Though it wasn't long before one of the books distracted him from his VERY IMPORTANT TASK, up close and personal. It looked less like boring book and more like some spooky tomb. Maybe it came from somewhere more adventurous than the library.

"What's this you got in here... some kind of Necroctinomicon?"

[sinister_blade]

She watched the metal ball struggle around and tried very hard not to laugh. Assassins don't laugh. Nope. They have poker face or smirk. She wondered how he will get up back there. That will be a sight.

At his question, her eyes darted down at the book. She frowned. When did she pulled out Will of the Ancients and put it atop of everything?

She took the book away:"That is not for you."

[explosion_day]

Rick rolled a little as the book was pulled literally out from under him, settling his stare on Katarina. Uh, yes, he would insist anything adventurous looking was in fact for him.

"I bet it's some kind of ancient treasure. You wouldn't be takin' it away from me if it wasn't anything good."
