Who: Makoto Nanaya and Celestia Ludenburg ~~hooo boy~~
What: Makoto meets her new roommate! With... mixed results. Your mileage may vary.
Where: Room BW-07
When: April 30th
Warnings: Who knows! Will update as needed.

Yup. Still definitely putting this on her resume.

Her first trip across dimensions couldn't even come close to this. Sure, it may have been different, but the people and places were at least recognizable even if some key aspects were altered ~~most notably the apparent non-existence of one Noel Vermillion~~ But this? Honestly it felt like an entirely different world!

... Which is bad, given Makoto's attention span.

Even with a clear destination in mind and room key in hand, it takes our dear heroine an extra hour and twenty minutes of prowling (Read: Crowding other student's personal space) about before the thought of finding her room even seems to register. And even then, dragging herself away from the plethora of new - and in some cases foreign faces (lookin' at you, Pokemon) proves a bit challenging at times, but it's all about the journey and not the destination, right?

Hope you enjoyed your peace and quiet while it lasted Celestia, because someone's knocking at the door.

The past few days had certainly been rough on the poor girl, but at least Celes had the comfort of her own room to relax and calm herself down in. Sure, she was still suffering from nightmares and the occasional migraine, but today had been surprisingly good. So good, that her mood was actually...well...good, as opposed to just an act she had to put on.

And then she heard that knock. It certainly was unexpected, as Celes hadn't planned for any company to come by...at least, not until Cress and her ate dinner together. Just what was going on here anyway?

...only one way to find out she mused. So she got up from her bed, placed the book she was reading down on the bed, and walked to the door. Once it was unlocked and she opened it, she was greeted by a...squirrel girl? ...huh.

"...yes? May I help you?"

The moment that door opens, Makoto's jaw gapes, eyes quite literally sparkling.

Th-That dress, and the hair.... It's adorable! Like gigantic, floppy black bunny ears! And the dress is so frilly! How come no one told her she'd be rooming with a diva? Oh man, oh maaan how exciting, her knees are already buckling...! Oie, no, calm down Makoto. No glomping the roomie, no matter how cute she is! We don't want her pressing any charges just yet. Deep breaths, yeah, that's right. Calm it on down! Let's make a positive and lasting first impression!

"Your hair. Is epic." Yeah, that's a good start, right?

"Oh, uh, my bad! I'm new here y'see." She peels back a corner of her spiffy school uniform's collar to illustrate. Still got that new school smell... Way too nostalgic. "This is room BW-07 right? Guess that makes us roomies! Name's Makoto Nanaya, it's nice to meet you!" See? She can be civilized - if a bit peppy. Probably too peppy... Definitely way too peppy. Her energy's downright contagious, even dialed back as she is. And... Why are her eyes still sparkling?

...well this was even more unexpected. Celes had gotten so used to not having a roommate that most of her stuff had taken up both sides of the room. Sure, it was all very neat and tidy, but I doubt Makoto would appreciate having a coffin on her side of the room. Or the fact that there was a coffin in the room in the first place...

Oh well, at least this girl seemed to have good taste in fashion. Such passion! My, this must be how a celebrity feels! How exhilarating...

"Why...thank you, Ms. Nanaya..." began Celes, her tone sounding vaguely surprised. "You certainly have good taste. And to answer your question, yes, this is BW-07."

Oh, she takes note of the room in a heckuva hurry, even leaning past Celes to scope out a better view of the place. Sure, it may've lacked Makoto's own personal touch, but it's not like she brought along a lot of valuables to stockpile a pad like this with anyho-

...

Hold the phone. Is... is that a coffin? Wwwwwwaaaait a sec.

Elegant, old fashioned tastes? Check. Pale skin? Check. Red eyes? Check. Don't look now, Celes, but Makoto's squinting to try and make out fangs! And it's about now that two plus two is making four - could her new roomie be a Vampire?! But those don't come out during the day, right? N-no, that's wrong. She's ~~read~~ seen movies on this. The sun is trivial to some vampires, particularly super powerful ones, and they're not even phased by garlic or crosses! (unfortunate, given the shape of her tonfa) this- this wasn't just terrifying. This was freakin' badass. Y'know. Except for the part where she could very well get drained of all her squirreljuice.

"U-uhh, I like what you've done with the place! Th' decor's really fung shui. One might say it's even super schway! Ehehe....heh. So, uh, can I come on in?"

Celes stared back at Makoto, looking curiously at her new roommate as she stared back at her. It was pretty damn obvious she was looking for something on her face, but whatever it was the gambler had no clue. ...which made this kinda awkward. Seriously, she doesn't want to stand here all day staring at this chick.

Oh good, conversation! Celes liked talked. "Sure, come right in." said Celes, stepping aside to let Makoto in. "Your bed is right there, by the way. It's rather plain-looking, but I suppose that just means you can do whatever you wish with the sheets and what-have-you..."

As she spoke, she gestured to the bed before casually looking around the room with a sigh. Alas...most of her things would have to be put in storage. Plus, with the hell she had been going through these past few days, it might be for the best to not stick around her room so often...

"Anyway, feel free to make yourself at home....within reason, of course."

"You betcha, thanks!" Whew, close one. For a moment there with how Celes was staring her down, Makoto thought the jig was up! She moves into the room naturally enough, trying to keep a calm, cool demeanor even with the coffin staring her down from just across the way. Hard to decide whether or not this is the best or the worst room she could be sharing right now, gotta say.

"So uh," she begins, tossing her luggage onto the bed before giving the interior another quick glance around ~~and to mark possible escape routes for Plan: How NOT to be a snack pack~~. "So what's there to do around these parts anyhow? I'm new in the area, so none of it is really familiar yet..."

Celes pondered the question for a few seconds. What WAS there to do here, now that the city was so dangerous. I mean, sure you could go in, but a person like Makoto, who was quite obviously not human (or at least, not FULLY human) might draw undesirable attention to herself. That wouldn't end well...

"Honestly, it really depends on what you like to do. The academy has a few ways to entertain yourself, as does the city, but...I wouldn't recommend going out there."

Not during the day, huh? Clever creature... Makoto's onto you, pal. But really, seeing as she just arrived? She hasn't seen much of the commotion in the city for herself. Not yet, at least. That doesn't mean she's unaware of it though.

"A little of everything, really! But hey, screw all'a that! We're roomies now, and section 486 of the official brocode manual dictates that we've gotta have a kickin' rad slumber party as means of celebration! We can rent scary movies and order a pie! My treat! Ooey gooey garlic pizza sound cool for you?"

AHA. Cornered! Let's see you weasel your way out of this, you adorably pigtailed lich!

"Pizza?" she echoed back. Honestly, she wasn't sure how she felt about eating such a common dish. Sure, her favorite of foods was Gyoza of all things, but not many people knew that. Eating something like pizza in front of the girl who would be her roommate didn't seem like it would be the best of ideas when it came to keeping her image up, but...one or two slices couldn't possibly hurt.

"I...suppose. A slice or two won't hurt, though try not to make it too..."ooey" and "gooey". I'd rather not ruin my clothes."

Huh. Taking the bait without a hitch, eh? This is problematic... C-could it possibly be that her roommate is an honest to goodness Vampire Lord?! In that case, the traditional weapons used for dealing with such a threat won't have any sort of effect! Meaning sunlight was also a moot point.

It's about now that Makoto begins staring at Celes again, sheer determination burning in her eyes. She twists her lip and clenches both fists tight, leaning forward in defiance towards her new undead overlord.

"You're a powerful one, I'll give ya that..." Makoto begins, arms crossed "But I'm not going to become your undead slave! No matter what perks the Dark Side has! You'll have to fight me to the death before I'd let that happen!"

"..."

Celes just sort of...stares at Makoto, her eyelids lowered to cover half her eyes while her mouth is righted in a solid line. Judging by this expression, one can only assume that she is..."linefacing" at her new roommate. Of all the whackjobs she had to get...

"I'm not a vampire." said Celes in the most unamused voice ever to grace one's ears.
