Red Dorm Shenanigans [Open to Red Dorm and Everyone]

[idkmybffxiao]

 Mei managed to arrive at the Red dormitory sometime soon after the general confusion of the gathering at the entrance hall without getting too lost. The buildings here weren't too off-putting for her. They looked a lot like Central! Not that she was entirely familiar with that place, either, but it was at least a tiny bit comforting. Maybe it meant the academy was in Amestris somewhere! If she could just figure out a way to escape.

But until then, she could play along. The tiny girl tracked down 1-B and...

"We get beds?" Eeeee! They got their own beeeds! It had been so long since Mei got to sleep in a real bed! And seeing she was the first to arrive, she took the opportunity to claim the one closest to the window and then quickly switched into her uniform. She opted for the black trousers over the skirt. Her old clothes, still bloodstained and torn, were carefully folded and left on the bed she'd claimed as her own.

"Oh!" She put a hand to her face once she'd finished putting things away. She'd almost forgotten about the blood. She needed to find the washroom! And a mirror! Shiny new clothes to look at! It would be a lie to say she wasn't excited over that, too. Not to mention, she might need a mirror if she was going to wash the smears of dried blood off of her face effectively. She just hoped none of it had gotten on the uniform...

Alright. Next stop, washroom. Mei zoomed back out of 1-B and into the first floor hallway. One had to be here somewhere!

Rapunzel found that there was slightly more obstacles to her hair here. It caught on the grass, tangled in the door jambs, so she was carrying half of it in her arms, reciting the room number over and over in her head. Anything to distract right? Aha here it was.

"Oh--Oh hello." She stopped short of the girl coming out of the dorm, pretending she hadn't clutched her hair in her hands like a weapon. She really needed something to defend herself with.

Ah! Another student!

Mei stopped and looked up at her. "Hi!" Then looked down. Then up again. Then down. Then she leaned a little to the side to keep looking at the hair that Rapunzel hadn't managed to fit in her arms. All... that... hair. "Wooow. You have so much hair."

She did, too! Though all of her hair was braided. Even so, loose, she doesn't think it would match the length of that!

"Um." Mei pointed. "There are twigs. Do you need help?" Letherbraiditletherbraidit-- no, no, Mei can resist the urge to bounce up and down and excitedly ask just that. It would be impolite to ask a total stranger that.

Rapunzel laughed a little, you would think that was all to her some days. Her natural trust of small cute things kicked in and she gave a little shrug.

"It's been growing since I was a baby."

Then she glanced back at the trail behind her and winced, "Oh this is going to take forever to brush out isn't it? Drat."

"I wish I could've let mine grow since then, but they made me get haircuts sometimes..."

She did fit into the small and cute category, didn't she? How lucky! Mei chewed on her thumb for a moment and glanced from Rapunzel to the room, then down the hall behind them.

"There might be a brush in the room. Or the washroom. I was looking for that just now." She turned and pointed down the hallway. "I think it's down that way! Since I didn't see anything like it out front."

Rapunzel gathered her hair in her arms again, pausing to pick out a twig and a few leaves. She had a brush at home--

But this wasn't home. She blinked a few times getting the dust out of her eyes and beamed at Mei.

"I'll go look then shall I?" She tossed her bag into the room and headed out for washroom. She was somehow more confident with her tiny guide beside her.
