Who: Chiyo and Izzy
What: Where Chiyo meets her roommate for the first time
Where: Their dorm room
When: Backdated to Feb. 09 on the night of her arrival to Smash

After an eventful day at Smash and nearly a handful of new friends, Chiyo finally decided to head to the dorms and search for her room. She received notice that her roommate was a Pokemon like her; a Zubat by the name of Izzy. Though she hadn't met her yet, Chiyo felt a sense of dread at the aspect of sharing a room with someone she didn't know, but with Ellistree's words of wisdom in mind, she tried to keep her calm and not be quick to judge her roommate. She just kept praying that the fellow Pokemon would be as kind as the others she met today. So, with her room in sight, she approached the door and tried to gently knock on the door as best as she could with her paw.

"H-Hello... This is Chiyo.... Your new roommate?" Her voice came out softly and she waited by the door for an answer. She hoped that her roommate would still be awake, if not, then she'd try to enter as quietly as she could.

The Zubat that Chiyo was apprehensive of meeting was indeed in the room she was pawing at. Luckily, or unluckily, it was not a matter of worrying if she would still be awake- as a primarily nocturnal creature, this was one Izzy began to really wake up. Yes, the bat was quite awake and quite aware of the water dog's presence. The pitter pattering of her paws in the hall was one that the Zubat did not immediately recognize, and she had listened to it very intently.

Oh. A new roommate. And here the scrawny girl had just gotten used to rooming solo again. God and damn.

However, she did nothing to tell Chiyo that she was there. There was only silence to greet her. Maybe she'd just go away and leave this completely dark room alone.

Curious and curiouser.... There was no reply and Chiyo had to wonder for a second if she even got the right room, so she double checked.

...BW-15. Yep, this was definitely the room. So... maybe her roommate was asleep? Or out? Well, there was only one way to find out, and even if it terrified her to an extent to enter the room alone, she took in a deep breath and pushed on through... AND BOY was this room dark! Chiyo could feel her nerves start to work at high speed as she urged her feet to move on, one in front of the other. She used the end of her tail to try and feel around the walls for a light switch, too, but to no avail, she seemed to be having a hard time finding it.

"Um... excuse me for entering...." she whispered, anxiety apparent in her words. "I hope I'm not disturbing...."

Okay, so she came in, and she was still padding around in whatever quadruped form she possessed. Not quite as light on her feet as a feline. Dog? Other thing? There was the shift of flapping skin... Wings? No, no, not at all. Hmm. The tail scraping across the wall seemed curious. At any rate she sounded like a nervous wreck and couldn't find the light switch so ha ha ha.

Silence continued to reign in the room.

Except for the slowwwww, eerie creak of a door that swept through the room.

That slowwwww, eerie creak sent shivers down every single bone in Chiyo's body, and she couldn't help but let out a stifled whine. Her body started shaking and she tried hard to anchor herself to the floor so that she wouldn't run back out the door.

Was somebody in here? Her roommate, hopefully? But if she was, then why didn't she answer Chiyo earlier? OH GOD, IS THERE A BURGLAR IN HERE? Chiyo hoped to god that there wouldn't be one. She wouldn't know what she'd do or what the burglar would do.

Horrified, Chiyo gulped and slowly turned to the source of the creaking....

It was one of the closets.

At this point, Chiyo's eyes might have started to adjust or the light from the hallway might have cast enough into the room to illuminate the door that was slowly swinging open. A pakir of legs were hanging over the top. A girl (?) was attached to said legs, dangling upside down against the door. Her hair hung straight down.

She had no eyes.

And she was grinning from ear to ear.

Chiyo unleashed a horrified screech (which could rival any roar attack) and jumped back as far away as she could from the closet and eyeless creature. So far back that she crashed into something, and from the feel of it, it was most likely a chair and desk.

"W-What are you?" No wait, that came out wrong. What if she was a person? Then what Chiyo just asked would've been considerably rude.

But then again, WHAT IF IT ISN'T A PERSON AND IT ATE HER ROOMMATE AND IT WAS NOW GOING TO EAT HER, TOO? THE HORROR.

Chiyo shivered and reflexively used Acid Armor in hopes of defending herself. Maybe it'd want her eyes, so Chiyo prepared herself to use Water Pulse if necessary. But she hoped she wouldn't have to use it, her nerves were already shot as it is and above all, she was ready to run for her life and never look back.
