Ruka wanders into the room relatively early. She doesn't see anyone inside but she also does not search very hard. She's already changed into some sleepwear before she's entered the dorm, and will be staying here for the remainder of the evening until she falls asleep. Absently, Ruka plays with her PDA.

[dreamcandies]

Road wanders in a little later with a sour look on her face, which remains even after she notices Ruka already within the dormitory. With a huff, she decides to crash the other's evening by sitting next to her as she unfastens her jacket.

"Hello, Ru~ka." She says none too enthusiastic, flopping onto her back on the bed.

[untraditional]

"Good evening, Road." She looks to Road with some concern, tucking her phone away. "... what's the matter? Is something wrong?"

[dreamcandies]

"Soup. Soup was the problem." She whines, wriggling on the bed with a shudder before kicking off her maryjanes.

"And stew. And nasty porridge father wouldn't have ever fed the servants." Can you hear the tone of spoiled little girl? "It was disgusting."

[untraditional]

"I'm sorry..." Ruka shuffles a bit. She's curious about the servant comment, but says nothing. "There are a lot of people looking for weapons, so maybe you ought to go and talk to one of them..."

[cullscuttlefish]

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but did you say looking for a Player?" Feferi, in pink-striped pajamas and carrying a stuffed fish, came in right then.

"I don't want any discards..."

[dreamcandies]

Road lifts her head to look at Feferi, sinking her upper teeth into her lip in thought. As much as she resented the idea, especially with strangers, the menu was really pissing her off.

"Who are you?" Not accusatory, but semi-curious. You do have cute pajamas.

[cullscuttlefish]

"I'm Feferi. I'm in 2-A, too. I guess I should've introduced myself before just barging in here like an idiot..."

She settles down, hugging that stuffed fish like a lifeline. "Who are you guys? I figure since roommates and all, we should try and be friends, too."

[dreamcandies]

"Road Kamelot." She says, sitting back up.

She glances at Ruka, before speaking on her behalf. "And this is Ruka."

[cullscuttlefish]

Feferi nodded at both the girls in turn, smiling. "It's nice to meet you, Road and Ruka. Sorry if I startled you at all. With the, well. Horns."

She laughed a little at that. "Don't worry. I'm not the bad kind."

[dreamcandies]

"Oh, I've seen horns before." Road remarks, still smiling. "Yours are rather cute, Feferi."

She glances to see if Ruka thinks the same before returning her eyes to Feferi. "You're one of the... Players?" Road hasn't quite read the rule book out of disinterest, so the term is said questioningly, "This round?"

[hairoftheweek]

And all of a sudden walked in a Ramona Flowers, unaware that her roommates were all in there. She stood at the door for a moment, before walking in, sitting down at one of the corners, and watching. She wasn't exactly very good at introducing herself to a group of people, let alone trying to single out anyone to talk to. So she gave a small wave before propping open the Exaclan guide and reading it. She had a small amount to catch up on.

[untraditional]

Ruka stays silent, letting Road talk for her. Feferi's appearance is odd to say the least but she's nice enough, so Ruka thinks it might be okay.

"Ah, I found a Player earlier today," she says quietly. "I don't know her well... but she's been very kind to me so far. I hope all of us in the dorm can be friends..."

[cullscuttlefish]

Feferi waved to Ramona as she entered, letting the older girl focus on reading the guide. She's rather glad that no one's making too big a deal of her appearance; she's just a regular girl underneath it all.

"I'm glad, Ruka. And I'm glad she's nice. I have one as well, but it's kind of awkward. I know him from home, but there's something I can't remember about him. It's weird."

[dreamcandies]

"I suppose I need a Player, if I don't want to eat slop again." She wrinkles her nose, although is rather sure she could get away leeching off of Ruka if she really had to.

[Later that night/ midnight or later/ locked to Ruka]

[dreamcandies]

So the dorm finally fell quiet some time later that night, lights out and only the barest shimmer of the moon coming through the window coverings. But if Ruka thought she was going to get a good night's sleep, she should've known better -- Road kicks off her bedding with a shuffling noise, slipping out of her bed in her pale pink nighty to creep over to Ruka's bed barefoot and with her pillow clutched to her breast.

At first she's quiet, hovering in the shadows of the room and looking down at Ruka before she draws the covers aside. Surprise, you're getting a bedmate.

[untraditional]

Ruka is fast asleep when it happens-- it doesn't take long for her to drift off, and she's generally a pretty sound sleeper. That holds true even now. She clings to the blanket as it's drawn down, but Road manages to get it out of her hands.

[dreamcandies]

She slides in beneath the covers, gentle and light in weight. Her smile is weak, eyes low lidded as she continues to watch Ruka before curling against her-- now that she's in the bed, curled around her and with her arm across her midriff, Road is no longer so fearful of disturbing Ruka.

[untraditional]

She stirs awake, slowly but surely. And once she's conscious and aware of Road's weight against her, Ruka jerks away. She doesn't say anything just yet, just shifts away and nearly falls out of the narrow bed. She's too flustered to say anything.

[dreamcandies]

Road's hands don't budge, clinging on around Ruka's hips and dragging her towards the edge of the bed as well. Her eyes fluttering open, Road frowns visibly and in a cranky whisper, begins to whine. "What are you doing?"

[untraditional]

"W-why are you in my bed?" She whispers a bit loudly, and looks around the room.

[dreamcandies]

"I had a bad dream." Oh, the irony of that would be great if it were indeed true. Road gives Ruka's waist a little tug, back towards her and the center of the bed.

"I just wanted some company." A sniffle, well practiced. "I miss my Papa..."

[untraditional]

"O-oh..." Ruka is successfully cowed by that. She shifts back where Road is tugging her, but does not relax. "I miss my father too..." And his face does not flash in her mind. No matter how hard she tries to recall... "I-it's okay to stay here, if you need to... but just this once, if that's okay. I'm not good at sleeping with another person..."

[dreamcandies]

"Oh thank you." She says, her crooked little smile hidden against the pillow as she readjusts the way she curls against Ruka.

"Can I be your little sister, Ruka?" She says, laying on thick the little-girl honey sweet voice. "That way we can have one another when we miss everyone else."

[untraditional]

"E-eh?" She looks at Road, adjusting her position so she's a bit more comfortable. "Little sister? I-I don't see why not... I'll be your big brother then, I g-guess."

[dreamcandies]

Road makes a 'Mmm'ing sound with her nose against Ruka's shoulder, not quite approval but taking it for the time being. Dear Ruka, she'll have you right and pretty in no time at all.

"Goodnight, Ruka." She whispers, another little smile as she closes her eyes.

[untraditional]

"Goodnight..." her whisper is hard to hear. She shifts once more and tries to sleep, but it's difficult with another person feeling her breathe. She dozes.

[dreamcandies]

While it seems Road settles in faster, she isn't actually asleep. She can feel Ruka's breath, her heart, and she longs for her ability to seep into her dreams. It, thanks to this God-forsaken place, is gone. And Road feels cheated of a good, sweet dream to manipulate.

She eventually sinks into a proper sleep, tired as she is.

[untraditional]

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

[dreamcandies]

Road dreams of being suspended from a wicker basket on a line, gliding over fresh undisturbed white snow in the bright orange sun of early morning. It isn't cold, she has her father's jacket over her shoulders and Ruka by her side. Below, kittens and puppies ride unicycles, the snow having given away to a large parking lot paved black with yellow lines. Men carrying pies thank Lady Gaga for her speech at the Golden globes while kittens march in, little machine guns and helmets strapped to their heads and backs.

Road doesn't remember any of this in the morning, but you must admit it's an interesting tag.
