Red Dorm Shenanigans [Open to Red Dorm and Everyone]

 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!

He tilted his head, waiting for her to continue, and when she didn't he was confused. "The difference?" There had to be some, right?
idkmybffxiao: (u mad? [angryyy])

"I can't remember!" She grabbed her braids and wrung them in frustration, like that might help the memory return. Nope. "Ieee! They took that memory, too!"
greennotgold: (Um um um)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2011-01-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Why--why would they take something like that?!" Why would they take any of the memories they took, though? What sort of logic did they use in deciding which memories went and which stayed?

"Um-- um, someone else might know! Or maybe, maybe there are books in the library?"

[personal profile] idkmybffxiao 2011-01-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't even know!" It didn't even seem like that much of an important memory, but now that she didn't have it, oh how did she want it back. Mei let go of her braids and crossed her arms with an annoyed huff instead.

"Probably not. If we're still in Amestris, well, you guys don't really know anything about Alkahestry. Hmph. I'll just win the memory back."

THEN WHO WILL BE LAUGHING, MYSTERIOUS KIDNAPPERS? WHO?
greennotgold: (Wait!)

Fletcher nodded. "R-right! Good luck, Mei! Um-- my brother says I'm not supposed to fight at all, or I'd buy you some memory charms."

Mei smiled. "It's alright! I can get them. I've fought scarier things than the other kids here at this academy."
greennotgold: (Dorky smile)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2011-01-05 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Ohh." Well, at least she would be well-off. Russel would be fine too. Was Fletcher the only one who couldn't actually fight? That would be a little disheartening.

"Good luck," he said again, then realized that he'd repeated himself. "Um... Is this your dorm then?"

[personal profile] idkmybffxiao 2011-01-05 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll need all the luck I can get. Thank you." Mei then nodded to the question. "It is! I'm in..." She pointed. "That one. 1-B. Is this your dorm, too?"
greennotgold: (Mousey)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2011-01-05 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
He shook his head. "I'm in, um, the pale dorm. I just came to look around hre since my brother's in this dorm. In 1-A."

[personal profile] idkmybffxiao 2011-01-05 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh!" Mei promptly pointed out the door on the other side of the hall. "1-A is that one. Does that mean you'll visit here a lot?"
greennotgold: (Sunset conversation)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2011-01-05 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I think so!" He nodded. "When my brother's not visiting my dorm, anyway. Or when we aren't in the library..." He could picture himself spending a lot of time in the library.

[personal profile] idkmybffxiao 2011-01-05 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then let's be friends!" Mei wouldn't mind an alliance with other kids her own age. They weren't as complicated as teenagers or as better-than-thou as adults.
greennotgold: (See you again!)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2011-01-06 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Another friend so soon? Maybe this place had its silver lining, too. "Okay!" Fletcher smiled. "I'd love to, Mei."

[personal profile] idkmybffxiao 2011-01-06 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Great!" A new friend, what a good way to start turning a scary situation into something better. Though lacking anything more to add at the moment, she said, "I'm going to go poke around my room some, but we should start looking for that circle sometime soon. Maybe you should ask your brother to help!"

It sounded like they were both Alchemists. That could be useful, even if just as a knowledge base.

He nodded. "Okay! I'll go find him and let him know you said so!"

He was glad not everyone had been made to forget all about alchemy like Molly had. Even if he and Mei had had a lot of stuff removed from their memories, there was still a little left. "See you later!"
