“Maybe someone plugged their hair dryer into the wrong socket?” she joked about the way the lights flickered.<br/><br/>The general attitude of the room seemed to be friendly and inviting, Tabby felt rather accomplished with herself. A small bit of time taken to get the whole friendship ball rolling and here they were.  “Ok, so we have Dani, Alexei, though I may just call you Al or Alex,” she said with wink in the big man's direction. “The fellow who decided to bunk next to me, Lance or L, needs to learn to keep his eyes a bit higher,” her general roaming and all encompassing eyes paused long enough to catch his and hold it before she went back to business as usual.<br/><br/>“Then there is Kol the guy we seek out when we want to build bunk beds later,” a small joke that she was not wholly concerned if any of them laughed, it was merely her means to learn names and skills. Nicknames, titles, etc were attached to people so that later she would be able to simple think of the simplest word or phrase and know them. Part of her memory and how she remembered people when she first met them. “Next is Malika who cleaned up after others, I think I should warn you now, I an get a bit messy. I like to collect things...” a dismissive shrug given before she pressed on with the introductions. “Then there is Lara whose stomach may cause her to eat us while we sleep,” she smiled at the other woman who was the bunk across from her own, as they had both chosen the back part of the dorm.<br/><br/>“As for who has the time, that would be Dani. She set her watch just after we were given the time for dinner,” she gestured to the woman near the front. “Pretty quick at it too, I almost did not see it, which say something,” an amused and friendly tone continued to permeate her words, as if this was just another day in the park for her. “As stated I am a collector of sorts, trash mostly but I tend to find things that to me are treasures,” a casual shrug given just as a late comer straggled in.<br/><br/>“And looks like we have another to join our merry bunch,” she said as she closed the distance between herself and him. “ I'm Tabby. That's Dani, L, Alexei, Kol, Malika and Lara,” each pointed to in turn. “Who might you be?”
