Saturday afternoon, fifth floor lounge

[nadiathesaint]

After the craziness of last night, Nadia had headed back to her room and essentially passed out until well past noon.

It was a good feeling. She hadn't really ever slept past noon before.

When she woke, the dorm was quiet. Figuring she'd done a lot of running around and meeting people in the last three days, she decides to take it a little easy and just heads into the fifth floor lounge to watch some TV.

Having never really gotten a chance to watch a lot of television, either, she was pretty curious as to what she might find.

Cally, having wandered up to the 5th Floor in hopes of catching Molly, stops by when she hears the noise. When she sees the person she's not met yet, Cally instantly starts walking over and waving.

"Hey, erm... mind if I join you?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked up from the commercial she'd been watching intently and gave Cally a small smile. "Not at all." She shifted a bit from her stretched out position on the couch to make room for her. "I'm Nadia."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally plops down on the couch and gives a little wave. "Cally. And just to make it extra clear, it's my last name, yeah. But I'm not even on a first name basis with my boyfriend." She shrugs a bit. "Watchin' something special, or just hanging out?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia is slightly torn between her fascination with the tv and trying not to be rude, but figures, hey, the more new friends, the better, right?

"Hanging out. I don't watch tv very often. It's more interesting than I thought it would be."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Heh, It's just like the stuff back home, to me... only with pointier corners." Cally nods. "I'm not interrupting, am I? I mean, if you just want to watch, I can go back to trying to find Molly. But I figured getting to know the new people was a good idea, for me, I mean."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "I don't mind talking and watching at the same time." She glanced over. "Where is 'back home'?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oasis, on Caprica. Which is another planet. I couldn't tell you how far away and stuff, though, even if I tried. But I'm pretty sure it is waaaaaay far away from here." Cally twiddles her thumbs a bit. "How about you?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked. She was pretty sure she had a vague memory of someone else mentioning that planet as their "home town". "I'm from Argentina. It's pretty far away, but I guess not as far as your home."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally looks over, her attention drawn away from the TV. "So, that's on Earth, then? I've not gotten around to studying the planet a whole lot yet. In fact, I've not even seen much of it other than this town, actually. Is Argentina nice?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "Sometimes. It's a lot warmer there, for one. And the beaches are gorgeous. I lived in Buenos Aires. It's where a lot of tourists go."

Nadia decided not to get into the fact that she'd been living on the streets, there. No need to get all mopey on a potential new friend.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah, definitely warmer in Oasis too. And not too far out from Caprica City, which is the big capital of the whole Colony, actually." Cally scratches her chin for a second. "No beaches, though."

"So, uhhh... getting adjusted to school yet? It's kinda different here."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia laughs. "'Kinda'? I'm working on it. It's only been, what, three days since I got here. It's interesting, though."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah. Hopefully you get to do it gradually, though. Cause getting adjusted was nice, but things like the weekend we had a zombie attack kinda major shock and trauma that force you to deal pretty quick." Cally shrugs. "It was a bonding experience, really. Not to be confused with bondage experiences, which are totally different," she adds with a smirk.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grins, then blinks and shudders as images of a zombie bondage experience run through her brain. "I heard about the zombies. I'm kinda hoping the security has been . . . upgraded since then?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"We haven't had any zombie outbreaks, so... yes? We also had a distinct lack of Principal that weekend. Mow, well, it's kinda amazing how they keep getting scarier and scarier. I'm kinda scared of the new one, a lot. I'm doing my best to behave, cause I really don't want to end up in his office."

[nadiathesaint]

"I haven't met him yet, actually." Nadia shrugged. "Just heard some of his messages on the intercom. He can't be that bad."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I dunno. He's creepy, wears sunglasses indoors, and has a tendency to show up out of nowhere." Cally shudders a second. "And he gives out pie with his punishment. Which he somehow turned into the creepiest thing ever. I'm not sure I'll be able to eat apple pie ever again."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked. "What did you get punished for?" Free food? Nadia might have to get in trouble.

Cally covers her mouth for a second, embarassed. "There was a card game that got a little out of hand."

A cloppy cloppy noise can be heard in the stairwell as Pippi rides up to the 5th floor on Old Man and sees people sitting in the lounge. She jumps off the horse who doesn't react but continues down the hall to 506 where he opens the door with his mouth and lets himself in.

Once again, she has Mr. Neilson on her shoulder.

"Hi!" She points to Nadia, "You're the girl with the hair. And..." she turns to Cally, "I don't know you yet I think. I'm Pippi."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia waved. "AKA Nadia. You're the girl who's horse lives next door to me. Nice monkey."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"He hasn't been very noisy has he? I got some slippers for his feet so he won't make so much noise..." She remembered some other questions about him that had been asked of her, "Oh, and don't worry. He is housetrained."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hi!" Cally raises her eyebrow at the monkey. "My name is Cally." She waves. "Nice to meet you, Pippi. And who's that on your shoulder?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Mr Neilson doffs his hat and does a little bow.

"This is Mr. Neilson. And that..." she motions after the horse down the hall, "Was Old Man. They're roommates."

She looks around. "This place is for every body right? Can I join you (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/364405.html?thread=14964085#t14964085) in... Whatever you're doing? It's pretty quiet around here after yesterday."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shifts again so there's room on the couch for Pippi and Mr. Neilson. She's completely lost track of what's going on on the tv, but talking to people is more interesting, anyway.

"The more the merrier. And I just saw your horse walk into the room next to mine. He's been quiet enough. Besides, apparently Lily can just make it so we don't hear him if he gets noisy."
