Rolls of thunder shook the building as lightning flashed outside the window, lighting up the darkened dorm room. Soohyun shuffled down the hallway blindly, feeling along the walls blindly as she did so to make sure she didn't bump into anything. Her best friend, Youngjae, was still in her dorm room, but when the electricity went out abruptly, Soohyun had to go hunting for candles. If there was something that Soohyun was embarrassed to admit that she was terrified of, it would be storms. With each loud drum-beat of thunder, the young girl flinched, her fingers trying to curl around the wall as if she was clutching it. She wished at this moment that Youngjae had come with her, but she had insisted that he not bother to get up. Why should he need to? After all, he was her guest and she should be the one to go get something if they needed. As she stumbled into the common room, Soohyun bumped into the couch and groaned to herself in surprise before clumsily finding her way to the desk where all of the supplies were kept. She wished that she'd been smart enough to bring candles into her room before the storm, but the truth is that the weather was supposed to be sunny and bright today. It was a day that she was looking forward to spending outside with Youngjae in the gardens or at the pool. But, now look at where she was. Luckily, there were plenty of candles and she packed some into a small bag she'd brought with her. She tried her best to count each one she put into the bag, but it was dark and she kept losing count, so she eventually gave up. Packing up the last of the supplies, Soohyun slung the bag over her shoulder and grabbed one more candle, this time taking the lighter and setting the wick aflame. This would be the light she needed to navigate her way back to the dorm. She slid the lighter into the bag and held the candle carefully by the cool, metal handle on the side and made her way back to her room and her waiting friend.
The maze-like hallways of the building were a lot easier to navigate now that she had a light, and Soohyun was able to find her way back to the room a lot quicker than she was able to leave it. When she opened the door, she held the candle up to her face smiling at her friend. "I found some candles! We're really lucky that there are plenty of supplies in the common room in case the power goes out," she was saying as she set the lit candle down on the drawer by the bed. She then took out the candles individually and lit them, placing them strategically around the room so the whole room was dimly lit. She was thankful there was light now, because she wouldn't say it out loud, but darkness frightened her. Not as much as the noisy storm outside, but it was a childhood fear she had never been able to shake. It made her feel weak and young that she was scared of the dark, and that's why she kept it to herself. Suddenly, thunder roared outside and Soohyun flinched and recoiled, bringing her arms up to hug herself as she yelped in fear, her skittish mentality kicking in.
[ aghHg i hope it was okay ;; i tried not to god mod too much, but i feel like it was too short /sobs uncontrollably im so sorry it ! ]
@krystal / watches as you hang it on the wall and tilts my head, smiling excited to be already getting along with you /
I see, I haven't seen any rules about painting the rooms, but better safe than sorry, hm?
/ opens up second suitcase where I keep my decorative things and stands up, picking up framed photos of my brother and I and sets them on one of the bedside tables, angling each one slightly /
You know, I've heard plenty of roommates have bonded while decorating their dorm room together. I guess I did my research on this kind of thing.
/ I rub my nape and laugh softly more out of embarrassment than anything else /
Since I'm not really used to any of this.
/ turns around when you offer me veggies and smiles thankfully /
Oh! Yes please. Could you put them in the drawer with the other snacks?
/ points to the drawer I'd just packed all of my snacks into but suddenly snaps fingers /
Wait! Actually, I brought a mini fridge, to keep fresh things in.
/ goes to retrieve it and plugs it in on other side of the bed where we can both access it easily /
There, now we can always have fresh food and drinks in there.
/ barely frowns as I realize /
But, I need to give you something now.
/ digs in my bag before pulling out a large, black purple and blue blanket with a moon on it and holds it out for you /
What a coincidence, it has your two favorite colors on it. I don't even remember packing it, but I brought a few others anyways. I want you to have it.
/ smiles sweetly and hopefully /
@soohyun //takes a picture with you and smiles, then stands up and sticks the photo on the wall
And there's the first picture, my favorite color is purple and black. We can keep the color, I don't really mind. I'm just going to cover it with things. I don't want the college to get mad at us for changing it.
//goes to my bag and starts unpacking, putting my clothes in the closet and some in the drawers, soon taking out some snacks such as carrots and oranges
Oh do you want a carrot? I'm not really a fan of carrots, my mother packed it. She wants me to be healthy or something.
//chuckles and shakes my head while looking at you
Actually no, during my freshman year I stayed at home and walked to school, again that was my mother's fault. She really really wants me to be healthy. I don't really get her much.
//sighs and lies down on my bed
Have you checked out the rest of the dormitories yet, I heard it is pretty nice.
@krystal / watches you as you sit down and smiles a little relieved that you're not trying to intimidate me and shoves empty suitcase under the bed neatly to keep it out of the way /
I hope so, I've never actually had a roommate before.
/ looks at you curiously, tilting head slightly with ears barely sliding on shoulders, they naturally rest on my shoulders if I tilt my head to one side or the other /
Have you ever lived with someone like this?
/ sees the camera and smiles widely thinking its amusing to watch you taking pictures of yourself /
Sure, I don't mind the color all that much but if you don't like it we can get rid of it. We can buy some paint and paint the walls if you want. What colors do you like?
/ looks at the camera and nibbles on bottom lip /
If you really want to take a picture with me, I'd be happy to!
@soohyun //smiles and looks at you unpacking and sits down next you
There's nothing to be afraid of. If you don't get on my bad side, which I know you won't.
//take the camera off the table and looks at you
Let's take a first day picture, we can stick it on the pink wall, I don't really like the color to be honest. Plus it would be cool to have a collage of our memories. Don't you think?
//blinks my eyes and grins at you then holds the camera firmly in my hands
Are you okay with that, if not we can cut the wall in half and I can do it by myself.
//starts talking pictures of myself, posing and sticking my tongue out, acting like i'm some sort of queen
@krystal / grabs luggage and nods as I set it in the corner beside the bed /
O-of course. The bottom bunk is yours.
/ blinks and laughs nervously playing with strands of my hair out of habit, plopping down on to floor on and pops open suitcase starting to put folded clothes away into one of the dressers /
Do I? I'm sorry, I don't mean to. I hope it's not annoying. I just.. I don't really have very good conversation skills, I guess.
/ smiles with eyes practically disappearing as I look up at you /
Soohyun and Soojung? What are the odds?
/ takes out small baggies of dried fruits and vegetables I eat for snacks and puts them in a drawer on their own because there are so many as I listen to you talking, feeling anxiety barely starting to rise in my throat at the mention of you being a wolf /
A wolf? Wow, I've never met a wolf before. I didn't mean to be rude, by the way. About asking you...
/ looks a bit shameful /
I didn't really know how else to ask.
@soohyun //looks at you and chuckles at you appearance and my eyes widen as you ramble on about whatever you are talking about.
Okay, let's take things slow, I will take the bottom bed. And for a rabbit you seem rather nervous but then again you talk all excitedly.
//puts my luggage on the bottom bed and looks at you and pats your head
Nice to meet you Soohyun, I guess we have 3 letters in common. The name is Soojung.
//scrunches my nose as you come off a little rude but then shrugs it off and simply answers your question
Wolf, now that I think of it. Wolves and rabbits don't really get along much so this is very ironic.
@krystal / walks in from having been exploring the campus and blinks surprised, not expecting a roommate to show up so fast and immediately smiles shyly talking in soft, low voice /
O-oh! Hi, I didn't think I would be gone long enough for someone to move into the room. I'm so sorry, I guess I lost track of the time.
/ shuffles over to bunk beds and looks at where I'd so carelessly tossed my luggage on to the bottom bunk /
Oh, and, if you want the bottom, I'll take the top. I don't mind, it's whatever you want, though. I'm okay with whatever.
/ realizes I'm rambling from being nervous and looks around the room before back at you, tilting my head with large, floppy ears moving slightly along with my soft curls as I try to see your features /
I'm Soohyun, by the way.
Sorry to ask, but what are you?
/ blinks realizing that sounds a lot more rude than I intended and nibbles on lip /
I-If you don't mind telling me.
/ twitches my nose slightly /
This is so pink, I really can't get use to it.
//looking around the room I see two beds, one already taken and one not in use, so i throw my things on it and get out my things to decorate the room
I wonder who my roommate is, I would like to get to know and maybe we can become great friends.
//puts a portable computer on the desk and next to it a small camera, making it seem more grunge and vintage
Seems like a good start, I think I can cover the pink with pictures, maybe me and my missing roommate can take random pictures throughout the year and stick them on the wall, like a collage. Oh that seems cool!
