txl: trying again. {giselle / open}

[T.X. Lorelei]

Lorelei cautiously stepped into Ho-oh Hall. This was only the second time she had ever set foot in this place- and for good reason. The first time she had come here, it hadn't worked out so well.. And she didn't exactly want to repeat that occurrence. However, two thoughts kept looming over her, casting a shadow on all her other thoughts: First, she still had never met her roommate, Giselle. Second, Ammy probably thought she was kind of a chicken for fleeing the scene and not returning for a long while.

So, Lorelei finally got up the courage to try this whole thing again. Hopefully this time she wouldn't stumble. It would be easier to get into her room this time- she didn't have any boxes to carry! All she had was her 'magical bag of everything', which was safely hanging on her back. Calmed by that thought, Lorelei made her way up to her room, praying that she wouldn't meet Ammy in the hallway. Or anywhere else.

When Lorelei got to her room and put her hand on the door handle, her phone rang. With her free hand, she took out her phone and looked at it, while her other hand turned the handle and pushed the door open. She stepped inside as she looked at the caller id on her phone- 'Mom', it read. "Ugh." She muttered, attempting to stick her phone back in her pocket.

Then, something familiar happened. Lorelei stumbled- but, she didn't fall! "Ha!" She breathed victoriously. What she didn't know is that the straps of her bag had managed to get caught of the handles on both sides of the door. So, when she tried to take a step forward, she fell. Luckily, she caught herself this time, with her elbows hitting the floor instead of her face. Her cell phone went flying across the room and stopped ringing. Her bag was ripped off her back and it stayed on the door handles.

Without wasting any time, Lorelei jumped to her feet, grabbed her bag off the door, and slammed it shut. She then leaned against it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Disaster averted.

Right?

[/i][/size][/center]giselle had been to her room earlier this past week. she'd been the only one there! so, did that mean that she was living in the spacious dorm room by herself? excitement surged through her as she stepped up the large marble stairs leading inside. her spheal followed happily behind her while reginald the snover was at her side. she waked straight by the dorm assignments, not bothering to look at them! room to herself! she smiled and her bleached teeth were a sight to see. "so, reg, i guess we have the room to ourselves!" she gloated happily, arms filled with boxes. her snover nodded, his arms containing boxes, too. the trio made it into their room. giselle sat down all her packages and sighed. "you know, if i were home, i never would've had to even touch boxes." she stated with a flick of her hair.

reg eyed the open door and shuffled over to close it. did giselle notice? did she ever? her starter pokemon dropped his boxes and pried them open. dresses and skirts in ridiculously girlie colors. clothes that looked like they belonged on a runway. the goldenrod native didn't have any aversion to putting fashion first. with rich parents, who would? the dark-haired girl was too preoccupied with choosing one of the two beds when reg heard someone at the door. when the handle turned, the snover was pacing backwards to stand more defensive in front of giselle. while he was passive and disliked fighting, he would let no one come close to giselle he didn't see fit first. a girl with blue hair stepped into the room. looking down at a cellphone. humans and their cellphones! while reg eyed the newcomer, eustace was bouncing with excitement.

"spheal, spheal, shpe!" he cried, causing giselle's attention to snap up. her eyebrows raised taking in the girl's attire. had she ever heard of any of the famous designers? then she stumbled. her roommate made no move to get up. she was too busy judged what she saw. and so she let the scene play out. the straps of the bag got caught in the door frame and she crashed not-so-gracefully into the floor. only just managing to catch herself. as if things had never happened, the girl jolted up and snatched her bag from where it had caught. the slammed the door and rested her head against it. she seemed to forget all about her phone. that had skidded to a stop at giselle's feet. the snover had completely relaxed; this girl was no threat. the dark-haired beauty didn't rise from her seat on the bed as she said, "i saw that. nice phone." she muttered at the end, staring down at the device.

[T.X. Lorelei]

Lorelei's eyes snapped open when she heard Giselle's voice tell her bluntly, "I saw that. Nice phone." Lorelei couldn't tell if the was being condescending, funny, or something else, so Lorelei didn't know what to say. "...Um. Thanks." She finally stated, walking forward and scooping up the phone, since Giselle didn't bother to pick it up for her.

"I'm Lorelei." She introduced herself, speaking to both the girl and the two Pokemon- a Snover and a Spheal- who accompanied her. "You must be Giselle Marks." She added, and tucked her phone into her bag- it made a clicking noise as it hit against the side of a pokeball. After that, she wasn't entirely sure what to say. Or do. She smiled at the group, and then looked around the room. She hadn't been able to see the room much the first time she had visited the dorm.

Lorelei spotted the few things that she had brought, tucked underneath one of the beds. "Oh- I'm not sure which bed you wanted. The first time I was here, I pushed my things under that one-" She stopped and pointed to the bed, then continued speaking, "But I'll be okay if you want that bed. Doesn't matter to me."

Lorelei glanced back at the door, as if expecting Ammy to suddenly burst in, and point and laugh at her again. Suddenly curious, she asked her new roommate, "Have you met our neighbor, Amaya Mai? Ammy?" This was the only topic Lorelei could come up with at the moment.
