Date & Time: Backdated to move in day!
Location: Unit 107
Characters: Garnet "Dagger" Til Alexandros (

knightofcourage)
Summary: Roommate meets!
Warnings: FRIENDSHIP. And Jake.

[It had been a rather exciting week with the spaceship crash landing and the shuffling around of apartments. Dagger was happy that she had been able to evacuate the place with a few of her books and weapons, which were the few possessions she had acquired here. ]

[But now it was time to go to her new room, and meet her new roommates. She didn't know her old ones well at all, they either changed frequently or were never around. She wondered if this would be the same sort of deal. She secretly hoped not...it was a bit lonely that way.]

[Either way, it was time to go. Books and racket in hand, she makes her way to the room that's on her new key. She's thankful it's still on the first floor, like her last room. She has to juggle around her stuff to make sure she doesn't drop it while she unlocks the door (just barely makes it) and walks in to quickly dump it on the counter. Looking around the barren apartment, she'll call out]

Hello? Is there anyone here?

[ The good news is that she wasn't the first one to show up at the apartment. Why is this good news? Because it means that Jake had a chance to stake out a claim on rooms and stash the skulls he managed to salvage in the evacuation inside. For once in his life Jake is going to have a chance to run into someone for the first time without holding a human head in his hand!

Though admittedly with Dagger at least this wasn't a first meeting at all. In fact, as he busies himself with straightening up his now drastically smaller skull pile on his bed he freezes when he hears a voice he swears in familiar sounding, before shuffling to the door and poking his head out of it. ]

Dagger! Howdy! What brings you to my humble new abode?

[She looks surprised when Jake pokes out his head out of his door, but it quickly is overcome with a smile. She was going to be rooming with Jake? That was great! They were already friends]

Hello Jake. It seems I'm here as your new roommate.

[ "Great" may be an overly optimistic term to use when it comes to rooming with Jake, but no one needed to let Dagger know and crush her happiness so soon into the new rooming assignments! Jake certainly isn't about to... then again, Jake probably doesn't think of himself as a bad person to room with in the first place.

He's quickly jogging out of his room and over towards her looking pretty damn excited himself. ]

Is that so? I wonder how this whole room switch-up was going to work! Though I wonder if Shirley's still going to be here as well. I haven't seen her since the whole fuss with these apartments in the first place.

[Look it's Dagger, she's lived in a castle all her life what are standards]

Shirley?

[It's around this time that Emil enters, carrying a box of salvaged belongings in his hand and a sword on his back to save space. He's trying not to show it, but he is feeling a little bit apprehensive about this meeting. Still, the last one went pretty well...]

Excuse me. Is this room 107?

[ You'd think living in a castle would give you pretty high standards if anything! At least Jake thinks that, since castles are suppose to be fancy and nice... except crumbling castle ruins... Man, now that would be something fun to explore. ]

Shirley? Well she's was my old room--

[ He doesn't finish the mate part, but it's pretty easy to tell what he was going to say there. Instead he stops talking and leans awkwardly to the side to look around Dagger at the new kid that just showed up. ]

That's right! Did you need something out of it?

[She'll turn to look at the newcomer. He has a box and a sword? Maybe he's the third roommate]

I think it's more he's our roommate.

[she'll smile at Emil]

Hello. Is this your new room?

[He nods. So far, so good.]

Yes, it is. My name is Emil Castagnier. It's good to meet you both.

[ A blink as he stares at this new kid. So not his old roommate after all? Huh.

Ah well, he's walking around Dagger now with his hand shoved out in front of him. Coming in for a handshake, Emil, this is not optional. ]

Nice to meet you, Emil! I'm Jake English, and this lovely lady here is Miss Dagger.

[She'll smile and nod. She is not going to force a handshake on you no worries Emil]

Nice to meet you, Emil! [Oh dear lord Jake did you have to introduce her like that, she'll look a tinge annoyed] Just Dagger's fine, really.

[Emil shifts his grip on the box to takes the handshake, trying to commit their names to memory as he does.]

Jake and Dagger. All right. I'm not very hard to live with, so you won't have to worry about me.

[ That's a good man! Jake's basically doing his best to squeeze the life out of his hand now with this handshake. ]

I wasn't worried to begin with! I'm sure we'll all get along just swimmingly.

[She'll nod and smile]

Do you want to come in? I just got here too.

[Emil's taken aback by the force of the handshake, and he quickly tries to end it and pull away. Um. Well, the courtesy's nice, anyway, from both of them.]

Right. Have either of you picked rooms yet?

[ He's not gonna make it easy, but eventually he does let go of Emil's hand when he keeps trying to pull away. ]

I've got myself set up, but unless I'm sorely mistaken Dagger just arrived here herself.

[ Turning to look at her. ]

Is that right?

[A nod; jeez Jake what was that handshake]

That's right. I haven't picked a room yet.

[Emil resists the urge to cradle his hand or something. Maybe later. Roommates first.]

You can choose first, if you'd like. I was last to get here, so it's fair that way.

[ That handshake was how MEN DO THINGS!! He makes a point to try to squeeze the living hell out of any male's hand he shakes to make a good first impression!

Ironically making a really shitty first impression in the process. Everyone's been too polite to correct him so far on that one. ]

Makes sense to me! And in the meantime I can help you both get settled in since I've already got all my things squared away.

If you're sure.

[She walks over to the rooms, looking at them all. Finally she points to one that's on the end and only next to one room. Sorry Emil, she's not nice enough to pick the middle one. She knows how much Jake likes his movies]

I'll take that one.

All right, then.

[With no idea what's in store for him, Emil heads straight for his room to drop his belongings off.]

I don't have much for myself, just clothes and my sword. I have some things for the kitchen, though, unless somebody's already stocked it.

[ Meanwhile Jake will hover in between the two rooms ready to lend a hand in any way he can! Though neither of them seem to any any real help at the moment. ]

I didn't have much of a chance to grab things out of the pantry before the whole kerfuffle with the ship and didn't think to go and snag them later so at the moment it's empty.

[Looking a bit embarrassed]

I've only been eating in restaurants since coming here, so... [nope, got nothing]

Good thing I brought these, then. I have enough money, but I'd hate to have to go buy everything all over again.

[Emil doesn't take much time in sorting out his clothes and putting away his sword, so he finishes up quickly and brings out the kitchenware in the box he's brought to start finding places for those items.]

[ Jake will give Emil space while he puts away his own clothing, but he's moving in to hover over his shoulder the moment he's pulling out all the kitchen goods to see what sort of things he brought with him. ]

You really came prepared!

[She meanwhile was putting her own things in her room...or rather, setting them on the bed and figuring she can figure it out later. These things are hard without maids okay? Either way, she's coming back to see all this stuff and whoa]

[She may be reaching into that box to pull out a whisk like she's never seen this before in her life. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY]

I just didn't have that much to take.

[What is this attention. It wasn't like this with his old roommates.]

[ Overly friendly teen roommates. That's what this is, Emil. Best learn to get used to it! ]

It looks like you've got everything you need to me.

[Okay she gives up trying to figure this out and holding up that whisk]

What is this?

It's...a whisk.

[Do they not have those where she comes from?]

You use it for mixing things, like eggs.

[ Jake's leaning in now looking really impressed. ]

You can't just use a spoon for that?

[She meanwhile is behind enough on cooking wondering why you would even need to mix eggs in the first place....]

Well, it helps more than a spoon does. It can things a spoon can't, too.

[How did this conversation suddenly become about whisks? Emil feels inadequately informed to talk about these things in any more than passing.]

[ Anything he says is probably more than these two would ever think of knowing about cooking though, lets be real. Jake's idea of cooking includes heating up canned food and not a whole heck of a lot more. ]

Well then we'll have to make sure we're always fully stocked up on eggs from here on out.

[She makes a bit of a face at that]

I think we'd tire of eggs if we did that all the time.

Yeah. It's not that hard to make other things, too. Can either of you cook?

Well we don't have to eat them every day.

[ But it does seem like a waste of a perfectly good egg stirring tool... ]

And of course I can!

[ Sort of. Heating up canned food counts as cooking, right? ]

[Ugh she doesn't want to admit it but...]

...No. I never needed to before.

You could probably learn here, if you'd like.

[It could take a while (he remembers Marta's experiences with cooking), but he feels confident that she could get there if she wanted.]

And two of us can still cook, so it's not a problem.

[ A big grin at Dagger and a dismissive hand gesture. ]

We'll be able to take care of the meals with no problem I'm sure. Two cooks should be able to tackle a meal for three.
