fandomhighdorms | Second floor common room- Sunday afternoon

Was it bad that this place didn't take as much getting used to as expected? Sure, day one was filled with a lot of information and surprise and everything. Maddie was rooming with a girl with time traveling parents and a dinosaur, she'd gotten the rundown on the possibility of turning into a boy from a talking pink pony who held mirrors, there was a girl from an alternate universe of where she came from and also at least two Avengers hanging around, one of which was supposed to be dead in Maddie's time. When she went to bed last night, she wasn't sure she was going to be sticking around.

And then this morning she woke up, remembered that she'd been a superhero-in-training two days ago who was going to be a walking ghost in like ten years, and she realized she wasn't really in a different situation than she was before. Well, here they weren't going to ask her to save the world at all, which was exactly the thing she'd been trying to get away from anyway.

Since her side of the room still looked too depressingly empty to want to hide out in there, Maddie ventured out into the common room to check it out. Where "check it out" meant "find a seat on the sofa and make sure they had cable."

Emily made quite a wide motion with an arm, basically encompassing the entire room, yeah."Uh, this. My experience with schools is...lacking."

She didn't forget to smile back.

"Some places do, I think," Maddie said. "My last boarding school had it, just to give everyone a place to hang out."

And because when you had an infinite mansion, you had to take up the rooms with something.

"For all the weirdness, they surely like to cover every possible detail."

She liked it, but that only meant Emily would need to be careful of not liking it too much. Now she had to master the ways of Hanging Out.

"Tell me about it. There's a ton of junk food in the kitchen," Maddie said, because that was the important part.

"And hopefully it's not just a ruse to make us comfortable, I would be pretty pissed if a week from now there's nothing but salads in there. Well, maybe a salad or two." If only to make herself feel slightly better.

"So, new right? At least I wasn't the only one venturing outside."

"Yeah, brand, shiny new," she smiled. "I'm Maddie."

"Emily Thorne, shiny new as well." At least Maddie was easier to smile at, Emily decided.

"Did you get all the warnings about this place?" Actually chances were Maddie was better informed than her.
