"Eloise?" Noodle called out. This place was *Big.* Not that he didn't expect it to be big, because he did, a little bit, but he wasn't expecting to get so utterly and thoroughly lost on his second day. He probably should've, though, considering he can get lost in his own house. "Eloiiiiiiise!" He shouted again, dragging out the vowel.

The thing about his abilities was that he couldn't really control them all that well. So, sometimes, when he was intending to sculpt a little trinket for his brand new dormitory desk, the thing jumps to life and leaps right out of his hands before sprinting out the door.

"Eloise, come back here right this instant! Or I'll—I'll... Oh, I don't know, I'll be sad. You've got wonderful detail work, come on, don't ruin it by running into things!" He knew it was mostly futile. His creations liked to wobble around and have fun, which frequently made it much harder to have the heart to put them in the kiln. 

Suddenly, he saw it—a flash of miniature brown baby elephant darting around a corner. Ha! Gotcha! He sprinted after it in an attempt to catch up with it, but his thick platforms left him stumbling. Eventually, he slowed his pace to a walk as he watched it run into the door of a study room.

"Eloise. We can't go doing these things—" He said, coming into the doorway. "I can't chase you every time—oh. Hello! I didn't think there was anyone in here. I mean, there's no reason I should've believed it was empty without seeing inside, but I guess i just haven't seen a ton of people in general, so I just assumed."
Lucille
Silence.
Violetta revelled in the peace around her, a half flat cup of cola sat near her on the desk as she honed in on the sound of her own rhythmic breath in the empty study room.
In all honesty, Vi didn't know what she was even revising for- she had any future exams basically in the bag, but she was bored.. Stupidly bored! And boredom leads to studying, leads to that little extra bit of knowledge!

Because god forbid Violetta decide to go make some friends outside of Margo! That would be a disaster for the short girl, insecurity bubbling as she even considered the possibility.
Her insecurity bubbled even more as she began making up hallucinations! She stared at Noodle for a couple moments.

That's not a hallucination. In fact, why would he be a hallucination? She shook her thoughts off, trying to muster up any words that her struggling brain could come up with.
She started trying to say something but her voice caught in her throat

"Aa are you looking- for someone?"
Smooth, Violetta. She ignored most of what Noodle said, more focused on whoever the fuck 'Eloise' is
Jenell
"Well," Noodle began, "Some*One* Is a bit of a stretch. Although, something also might be wrong to say? I've never actually really examined them for, like, how human they are, because I'm worried if I do I won't be able to make sculptures anymore, morally, but I guess that's probably also bad. Oh, there she is!"

As if on cue, Eloise stumbled into view from underneath the table. It was about the size of Noodle's closed fist. The clay elephant did a few energetic laps around Violetta's chair before coming to a stop, sitting down and looking up at her, pushing its small trunk against her ankle.

"Aw!" Noodle gasped, "She likes you! Good news for you, bad news for me. Who are you, anyway? What's your name? Do you like elephants or have any personal connection to them? I'm trying to determine if there's any reason why she ran to you, but it's possible she just thinks you looked nice. Uh oh. I hope she can't think."
Lucille
This stranger overwhelmed Violetta already, she sat up in her chair with slightly furrowed brows- confusion sank into Vi's pores, making her look just as bamboozled as she actually was by the new antics being sprung upon her by the stranger.

Violetta's legs tucked up onto her seat in surprise at the miscellanious clay elephant around her feet- a moving one at that. A while she had been here now- a while wasn't long enough for her to grow accustomed to all the powers apparently.

"Elephants?- i don't-" She reasoned, spreading her legs back down to the floor, shifting in her seat to avoid falling or something dumb like that.
"I'm- who are *You?-*" She backwards questioned in concern
Jenell
The clay elephant moved its trunk as if trumpeting, but no sound came out. Probably because it didn't actually have lungs. It circled around her a few more time before seemingly giving up. Noodle bent down to gently scoop it up into his hands.

"You know, elephants," He said, as if this was all very obvious and Violetta should know better. "Big grey wrinkly things. With tusks and trunks. Although, this one is quite small, and has no tusks, because it's just a sculpture." He placed the elephant on his shoulder to free up his hands, then peered over Violetta's shoulder, completely oblivious to her discomfort. The elephant mimicked his behavior.

"I'm Noodle, I'm new. Ish. How old do you have to be until you're not new anymore? Doesn't matter, I guess, because I think I'm definitely new for any given definition of new. Though, I suppose, everything is subjective to an extent. Everyone's got a different opinion. It's why politics are a thing. What are you reading?"
Lucille
"Yes i know what an elephant is-" Violetta muttered, cringing to herself, she didn't mean to be so defensive but.. She was just Like That with strangers. Despite her discomfort with this new person's excitement, she tried to remain polite, veering into sarcasm would cost her a possible ally.
Is... Ally really the right word? That seemed far too military now that she thought about it. Ugh. She knew what she meant.

Her vision set down on the elephant on the stranger's shoulder; truth be told, she was intrigued by the elephant- she hadn't chalked it down to the other's power yet for some reason, assuming it a small robot or something of the like.
Her breath caught in her throat when Noodle peered over her shoulder- she wanted to habitually elbow him- but instead jut gripped her thighs.
Violetta was going to be put into situations like this often- so... This was good, getting her used to it. It was sort of like exposure therapy, except instead of having spiders crawl all over her skin, she was getting put in an unpredictable social interaction.

"Right... I'm Violetta" She muttered, Noodle was a strange name indeed, and she figured in her head that to get on his good side, she'd need to match his energy but... No. That just wasn't gonna happen yet, unfortunately.
"It's pride and prejudice."
Noodle's quick speaking didn't give her much time to form much else outside of short answers, Violetta even thought for a moment of something else to say, but nothing else arose.
Jenell
"Okay," Noodle said, seemingly not offended. "Just checking, because you seemed kind of confused about it." The elephant nodded in agreement on his shoulder.

They backed away, coming instead to sit on the edge of the desk, legs kicking. The elephant tried to climb off off Noodle's shoulder and they had to quickly catch it in their palm before it squished on the table. They set it on the desk next to them, where it just beelined towards Violetta.

"That's cool. I read P-and-P once, although I might get some bits confused with the movie. I always liked Bingley because he's so cute and nice, I think he's much better than Darcy, honestly, I don't know who would go for him. I guess if he's your thing, no offense. You strike me as an Elizabeth type. You have a nice name, though, it would be worse if you were named Elizabeth. Vi-oh-let-ah. Like an italian baby Viola."

The elephant began walking over the open pages of Violetta's book, feet sticking slightly to the pages but thankfully leaving no residue. Noodle watched as it frustratedly shook one leg to get the paper to unstick. His eyes caught on the spine.

"Do you like bugs?" Noodle asked out of the blue, straightening up as if a thought had just occurred to him.
