First Floor Lobby, After Lunch

The glitter and ribbons came off the door remarkably fast, and since she'd only unpacked the essentials it was a snap to pack it all back up. She wondered for a moment how long it had taken Emmet to get all this up here by himself, then she shrugged and started pulling gigantic wheeled suitcases out of her room and assembling them in the lobby to see exactly how many trips she'd have to make as she moved from her temporary dorm housing down to her new room at the frat house.

Sucking at her fingertip, she looked around with wide eyes. Maybe with all the people around she could find some help with all the wheeling.

"You know Bruiser? Wheeled luggage is almost as good as friends, don't you think? I hope Ted dude is super fun."

[ooc: Elle's moving to town. Anyone can grab a bag and follow the procession, you'll probably get cookies out of it.]

Phone call of doom ended and a shower and lunch drowsily, painfully had, Sakurazaki makes her way out of the dormatory in desperate need for a relaxing stroll through town (and possibly an attempt to acquire some sake). She stops, though, when she saw the commotion and the mountain of suitcases being compiled therein. She rubs at her eyes slightly. Was she that tired, or....?

Shuffling her feet slightly, she walks up and reaches out to touch the suitcases. Yup, they're real, and they're actually suitcases, not a person mistaken for suitcases. She turns to the woman she assumes they belong to. "Um..." she starts. "Do you need help with some of these?"

"Ooh! Yes! I'd love some help. I'm moving to town and I didn't realize I had so much." Elle explained cheerfully as she thrust her hand forward. "I'm Elle, and I haven't met you yet. I'd remember."

After the terrible night she'd had, the exhuberance in this woman is pleasant. Just like how Jude-san's casual demeaner relaxed her, Elle-san's cheerfulness makes her feel a little better. Sakurazaki smiles slightly as she took the hand.

"I'm Sakurazaki," she says, tight grip for such a wiry girl. "I was just going into town, anyway, so helping you would be right on my way." Briefly, she wonders if Elle-san is over...what was the drinking limit in the states? 20? Shaking her head, Sakurazaki dismisses the thought.

She considers the mass of luggage in front of her, trying to think of how she can be the most helpful. "Let's see..." she mutters to herself, then began to equip herself in the most efficiant way.

"I'm so happy to meet you, Sakura-sockee!" she said brightly in her distinctly Californian-American accent. She tossed her hair and examined the luggage as well, then looked over in amazement at Sakurazaki's efficient way of loading up. "Wow! You're super at that. I bet you're a whiz at Tetris, huh?" she chirped sweetly.

There is a slight twitch in the corner of Sakurazaki's left eye over the murder of the suffix, but she makes herself get over it, knowing how much she probablly kills Elle-san's name.

The Tetris comment is great, though. Sakurazaki shrugs; not an easy task with her expert luggage piling. She's half-tempted to start humming the catchy tune, now stuck in her head until eternity or the end of the day. "I've never really played it, but my Ojou-sama was a big fan. I suppose even just watching it helps."

She considers the luggage again. "I think this is all I can handle, Elle-san, for the moment. Where are we headed?"

Bruiser's pink polished claws ticked across to floor as he investigated this new person. He sniffed gently at her feet, then scampered away in his stylish pink beret. Elle took little notice of him.

"I'm moving into 18 Apocalypse Avenue. Isn't that a funny name for a street? Apocalypse is like the end of the world or something but this new place is like a whole new world for me, not and ending, because I'm moving into Ted dude's house and I get the attic room which is like a penthouse, I guess, and I've never actually lved in a place that looked like a frat house so I think it's going to be a great opportunity." she rattled off at top speed as she stacked and strapped bags together for transport.

Elle may have taken little notice of Bruiser, but Sakurazaki is far more interested in the little dog than of Elle's rambling. She tries to nod and make little hums to show she's listening and agreeing, but the dog keeps her attention.

"I'd be nervous about a street called Apocalypse...What's your dog's name?" The first part was said half-heartedly, the second with a great emphasis. "She's very...cute."

Pink nail polish? On a dog? And she thought that little ermine of Negi-sensei's had it bad.

She paused in her torrent of words to stare for a moment while the question registered. "Bruiser? Bruiser's a boy. He's very fashion conscious, but he's super friendly. He's my best friend ever and he goes everyplace with me. Oh, and until we got here he wasn't very smoochie but after meeting Jack Harkness my cabana boy he's been really kissy so if he licks you he's really just loving on you and not tasting you to see if you'd be good to bite."

"Ca...cabana boy?" Sakurazaki's not really sure what the term means, but her eyes are stuck on Bruiser at her feet. Elle better be right about the loving. She could handle dog spit on her shin, but a bite would completely ruin all her stratigic stacking.

She giggled, "Yeah, cabana boy. You know, the cute boys who rub lotion on your back at a resort and who are yummy eye candy. I was just teasing really, but it's kinda funny anyhow." she said as she began wheeling her pile toward the doors.

The description just completely floored Sakurazaki. Cute...boys....lotion...eye candy? It took a moment for Sakurazaki to realize that Elle had started moving. She quickly caught up to her.

Although, after a second of consideration, the thought of rubbing lotion on her very, very aching shoulders sounded quite pleasant and not so frighteningly strange. Thinking about it too much, though, lead her thoughts into truly dangerous and embarrassing territory. She spoke to push the highly inappropriate thoughts of her mind. "Maybe...maybe I should meet this Jack Harkness-san." Did she get that name right? Didn't matter, keep going, get away from those thoughts. "I haven't met many people yet. Who did you say you were moving in with again? There...there's so many people here."

"Oh you totally should. Jack is super sweet and he'll probably ask you on a date because I'm pretty sure he's some kind of player but he's really nice about it and doesn't seem like a sleazy heartbreaker. Trust me, I've known too many of them. Anyhow I'm moving in with Ted dude, and I hope to meet some more town people because I've met lots of students just this week like you and Parker and Nadia and Elizabeth and Kaylee and Greg and Tyler and John Crichton who looks like Cameron who wants to be in the Air Force, except John is more pudgy, and Ainsley and Veronica and John Connor and Ranma and a girl named Z and Bridge and Xander who are from California and I think that's it except for Mai Ling who did my nails the other day." she chittered quickly, finally pausing to breathe. "It's really not hard, you just say hi and smile and people here are so friendly. Like me!" she said cheerfully as she headed down the road.

[ooc: bonus points if you can actually follow that flood of info.]

Sakurazaki feels dizzy; she staggers slightly so that she doesn't lose her load of luggage. She wonders if Elle-san had slipped into a different language, other than English, because, if it was English, she'd have to study more. Did she catch a Ranma in there? That just shoved those thoughts right back and she had to shake her head to get rid of them again.

She tried to recall what was said before the long list of obviously psycho babble. "Some more town people? So, you're not a student, then?"

Yes, hopefully that would be safe territory.

[[OOC: In a little bit, my play's gonna switch to slow mode...heading over to a friend's; she's all about me updating, but her net is a little wonky at the moment so it may be a bit longer in between posts, just so you know]]

"Nope, I'm a camp counselor. They let me stay at the school til I found a place which was so sweet. The principle and the, oh my God did you know we have a Canadian here? He's security and he's so fine. They were real nice to me and then last night I found this place and Ted gave me the key on the spot. I'm going to be running a workshop every Monday about what your clothes say about you and we'll play dress up and get to know and love fashion so I'm moving into town but Nadia promised I could still come to parties."

[ooc: Thanks for the heads up on the slow down! I hope Elle's jibberish hasn't given you a RL headache.]

Canadian? "Jude-san is security?" She shakes her head, and doesn't realize that she mumbles, "I'm so confused" aloud.

[[OOC: No problem. and IRL, I absolutely <3 it. hehe, it's fantastic.]]

"Judeson? No. The mountie is Frasier or Fraser or Frogurt or something. Do we have another Canadian named Judeson? If we do I need to meet him, I think I really like Canadians. They have that great shortbread but I think it's really from Scotland because it comes in a neat plaid box like a kilt and we used to have it at the Delta Nu high tea fundraiser every year and..." and she chattered on and on in time with the click of her heels on the pavement all the way down to her new house, entirely oblivious to the mental chaos she was creating.

Sakurazaki realizes that she trying to win a lost cause here. It never ended! So she just listened and tried to follow and tried not to trip on Bruiser as they made their way to Elle-san's new residence. Some of the information did seem helpful, though, and she hoped she'd be able to remember those tidbits, and be able to sort them out of the details that seemed a little less...important.

When they reach the place, Sakurazaki sets the luggage down and offers a deep bow. She would never admit it, but she was a little eager to escape from the chatterbox. "It has been very nice to meet you, Elle-san, and you, too, Bruiser-kun, and I'm glad I could help you with your luggage. Being in town, though, I'm eager to explore as I originally intended, if you don't mind..."

[[OOC: Haha, that flow there worked well with me needing to run :) ]]

She stopped talking but her mouth kept moving for a moment as if her lips, brain, and voice were all on seperate circuits. "Oh, no problem, Sakura-sockee. I really appreciate the help. I'm sure I'll see you more this summer, and now that you know where I live you can totally come over any time." she said as she jockeyed her luggage up the steps adn into Ted dude's house.

[ooc: have fun with your friend!]
