Richard
Stan had decided to meet some of the other students so he grabbed a chair and sat down in the dorm hallways, someone was bound to come by.
He passed the time by throwing a baseball against the wall and catching the rebound. A dark spot was starting to form on the wall.
Amos
Raizel felt her math books in her arms while looking down at the floor when she walked quietly. Her glowing eyes are closed halfways, looking gloomy or something is on her mind. Her shadow slide across the walls forming a strange beast that is cast from her mask and tuft of fur on her hood. She didn't seem to notice Stan sitting on the chair as she pass by him.
Richard
He tapped her on the shoulder
"Sup."
Amos
"Eeek!?" She jumped when she suddenly felt someone touched her shoulder, causing her stiffen up and her dark brown hair to bristle.
Richard
"Chill, just saying Hi. I'm Stan."
He pushed himself up from the chair swiftly and offered a handshake
"I'm new. Sup?"
Amos
"O-Oh... H-Hi.." She said, now looking down at him. Her gloved hand is shaking when she reach out towards him, but hesitates, unsure if this is a good idea. "Me too... I-I'm new here... N-Name's Rai.." Right now she is screaming internally for the one person she clings onto.
Richard
"Hey Rai, nice to meet you! I'm trying to meet a few other students around here, and you're the first. Got some time?"
Amos
"Y-yeah... A bit... Was g-going to take a nap... Math is hard.." She said, still unsure about this person. He seem too happy? Too friendly? It felt normal seeing a frowning person.
Richard
"Yeah, math sucks..."
A shiver ran through him, more than just math. Despite how warm it was in here he seemed cold?
"But I've managed to scrape by in school. What room are you in?"
Amos
A cold wintry chill come off from the girl's body as if she is an embodiment of winter itself. She seem to be thinking about something or someone until the question snapped her back to reality. "I-It's just r-right over th-there, why?" She asked, turning back to him. Her eyes closes part ways looking like two glowing crescent moons; a weary or gloomy look.
Richard
"Hey, we're almost neighbours!"
He laughed
"Just a sec..."
He took undefinable bars of food out of his pocket and gulfed them down like he was starving
"..Sorry, gotta deal with power upkeep and..."
He had an idea
"Right! Powers! Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine!"
Amos
She is taken back by the sudden question which made her rub her forearm nervously. "Uhhh... Hhhhnn... I-I am... Just a cold person..." Her voice starts to sound smaller and fainter as she speaks. "A-A-And hitting me is b-b-b-badluck... Can sl-slightly shapeshift.." She felt her face growing hotter behind her mask when she bit down onto her lower lip, slightly chewing on it nervously.
Richard
"Shapeshifting and cold stuff? Cool.
...
"Whoa, sorry was that a bit much?"
He slides the chair back a bit to show her that he's giving her metaphorical space
"Take your time, I'll tell you mine once you're ready."
Interesting enough, she noticed that it was slightly warmer near Stan
Amos
Yeah, no, she doesn't like the warmth when she steps away to the opposite side of the hall. The poor girl is quivering which made her mask rattle with a similar sound to the forest spirits in Princess Monoke. "Uh... Unnn..." She looks down, now squeezing her forearm.
Richard
Stan didn't know how to deal with that, so he pushed the chair up to the wall and kept waiting
Amos
"S-Sorry... I'm n-n-not good with this... T-t-talking... I-i-is r-r-r-really hard..." She said, her teeth chattering behind her shaky mask. "N-N-Never t-t-t-talked much... To people... L-l-lived alone..."
Richard
"Ah, I'll keep talking then"
Ahem
"My power is basically bringing energy from one thing I touch to another. Like, if I had a hot cup of tea and a cold one I could turn those into two warm ones. That make sense?"
Amos
She shakily nods, understanding what he's saying. It might explain why there was warm air near him? "M-Mhm..." She had to sit down when her skin felt clammy and it was starting to get hard to breath. "H-"
Richard
"Uh, are you okay?"
This girl was proper weird, he had hoped to find someone chill - but not literally!
Amos
Sorry Stan, this is a nervous true antisocial girl who is now experiencing a panic attack approaching her. "M-Mhm... I-I-I am okay..." She's looking very small where she curled up sitting there. Looking at Stan was making her more nervous and self conscious. Her arms wrap around her head.
Richard
"Welp, I'm gonna be here in the hallway waiting for more people to come along, feel free to stop by."
Maybe she just had some sort of problem right now that she needed to be alone for to deal with. Some sort of ability drawback? Whatever, no use talking to her in this state.
Amos
"Hm.." She nods and quickly gets up to go escape into her room to hide. Raizel then rests her back against the closed door nearly wheezing when she is trying to calm herself down.
Richard
Stan leans back against the chair and yawns
He wondered how long it would take her to come back.
He started throwing the ball against the wall again.
Amos
He's going to be left bored since this girl is not going to be leaving her room any time soon.
