Room 1A - Belgium and Hungary

[Professor Pangaea]

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

Armed with a laptop bag and a rolling suitcase, Elizabeta fiddled with the key to her dorm before finally unlocking the door. Opening the door just a bit, she poked her head in and asked, "Anyone in here?" Upon hearing no response, she opened the door even wider and walked in.

Hungary rolled her suitcase over to her bed and took off her laptop bag before sitting down on the bed herself and looked around. Thankfully the bed was comfortable. The room was not that large, but it was good enough. She did not have that much with her and hoped that her roommate did not either.

Flipping out her cell phone from her pocket, Hungary looked at the time and saw that she had a lot of time before she absolutely had to unpack. She sighed and laid back onto the bed.

[Belle Rousseau]

Of course, Belle had conveniently stepped out for only a few minutes, having made a quick trip to the school store for a few essentials she was sure she would need for those first few days while she adjusts to the transition of being back in school.

A small, plastic bag of goodies in her hand she walked casually own the hall back towards her dorm room, wondering what all that noise was coming from the boys dorm right next door before she notices that her door is open. With a confused look she peeked in to see that she was no longer alone, a smile splitting her face she took a step inside and knocked softly on the door.

"Hello," she greeted kindly.

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

Hungary laid on the bed for a few minutes, almost nodding off due to jet lag from her flight from Europe a few days before, until she hear a soft knock at the door. Upon hearing another girl's voice, Hungary got up from her bed and walked over to her.

"Hello!" Elizabeta greeted, smiling brightly. "You must be my roommate. I'm Elizabeta." She paused; hug or handshake? She did not really know anything about the other girl other than that she was her roommate, but she also thought that handshakes were a bit too formal. However, she settled for the handshake and extended her hand. "Nice to meet you."

[Belle Rousseau]

"I'm Belle," she responded cheerfully, taking the girls hand without any hesitation and giving it a firm shake, noticing the pause but not bringing any attention to it. In all honestly, she was just happy that her new roommate didn't seem like a lunatic. "It's nice to meet you too."

After their quick greeting she walked towards her bed to set down her bag, still smiling at her new roommate. "We must have just missed each other. I only left a few minutes ago to hit up the school store."

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

"Yeah, I came in about two minutes ago and just fell onto the bed," Hungary replied with a sheepish laugh. Seeing her roommate walk over to her own bed, Elizabeta grabbed her suitcase and set it on her bed before opening it. She sifted through a few of her clothes to see how much she needed to unpack before grabbing some shirts and walking to the chest by her bed.

"So, where are you from?" Hungary asked, turning to Belle as she opened the top drawer. She unloaded a few neatly in a pile on the left, knowing full well that her drawers would be a mess by tomorrow despite any efforts to keep them organized.

[Belle Rousseau]

Go figure she would disappear just as her roommate showed up, but that's just the way her luck has always been. After taking a seat on the edge of her bed she opened the small, plastic bag and began to unload a few items: a package of pens, a sleeve of computer paper to put in her printer, a bag of M&M's (a quick chocolate fix until she was able to do better), a cold soda and a toothbrush. Of all the silly things to forget, she thought to herself.

"Hm,' she mused, looking up to see Elizabeta unpacking her things. "Oh, I'm from Belgium. Land of chocolate, waffles and beer. And you?"

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

"Hungary, home to lots of spas...and apparently the largest synagogue in Europe," she answered, not completely sure of as to why she added the last part. She walked over back to her suitcase and grabbed a few more shirts to put in her drawers.

Unloading the second of pile of clothes, Hungary glanced at what Belle had taken out of her plastic bag. Seeing the toothbrush, she started wondering if she had remembered to pack her own. Elizabeta did not recall ever putting it in her toiletry bag, but she felt like she had it. Whatever, she thought. I can always buy another one anyway.

[Belle Rousseau]

Belle blinked to herself as she got comfortable on her bed, tearing open her M&M's a popping one in her mouth before she looked over at her roommate once more.

"The largest, huh?" she repeated casually, shrugging to herself. "That's a lot more interesting than just listing off food." Not that she wasn't proud of her food, in fact it was one of the few things she would let herself boast about without shame if given the chance. You just wait until she's able to get into a place where she can work her magic, Hungary... soon you and Belle both will be hitting the gym trying to work off the weight she's going to make you gain.

After a moment she noticed the brunette staring down a the items on her bed and she couldn't help but look back down as well, wondering if there was something there that she didn't mean for her to see but seeing nothing out of the usual. Gracefully lifting a brow she turned back to look at her curiously, head tilted just slightly as she tries to meet her eyes. "Are you alright? You look kind of dazed..."

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

"Hmm...? Oh!" Elizabeta finally snapped out of her daze. "Sorry, I was just wondering if I had brought my own toothbrush. The jet lag must be getting to me, I guess." She shut the top drawer, seeing as though all of her shirts were now unpacked.

"Hungary doesn't really have any food worth mentioning," Elizabeta said, wriggling her nose as she went to get some jeans to put in the second drawer. "Except for maybe goulash and paprika. And paprika is a spice, anyway. Gundel palacsinta is good, though..." She trailed off, now craving something to eat.

[Belle Rousseau]

A small laugh escaped her when she finally snapped out of her daze, listening intently as she goes on and appreciating her roommates intent on keeping the conversation going.

"Everyone has something worth mentioning, especially where food is involved."

An old, perverted friend taught her that, though she could think of one exception but she hadn't seen him yet and that certain perverse friend was probably off doing the thing he does best right now. There's nothing like thinking of France's dirty, perverted acts and talking about Hungarian food to work up an appetite. When she trailed off, Belle looked up for a moment before offering her back of M&M's.

"I'm kinda hungry as well. Maybe after you finish unpacking we can go to the dining hall for something to eat," she suggested cheerfully before tacking on tentatively, "If you want to that is. I won't be upset if you don't."

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

"Sounds like a plan," Hungary replied, grinning as she opened the second drawer in the chest and putting the jeans inside. "Have you unpacked yet?" She went over to her suitcase to grab the rest of the pants she could put in the chest before carefully putting them into the drawer.

After shutting the second drawer, Elizabeta went over to her laptop bag, deciding to hang her more formal clothes in the closet after getting food. Unzipping the bag and reaching for her laptop, she spotted a box of newly-bought cigarettes that she had shoved in there before coming the dorm. She pushed it to the bottom of the bag, feeling guilty for breaking down and buying it when she promised to quit, and pulled her laptop out to put it on the desk.

[Belle Rousseau]

Seeing as her offer was ignored, Belle figured that Elizabeta didn't want to ruin her appetite with candy and pulled it back, pouring a couple more in her hand and tossing them back as though she were popping pills.

"I got most of my things put away," she replied casually, twisting the small, brown bag closed and setting it on the desk beside her bed. "I still have a little left but I figured I could finish after getting some food."

Of course as she was distracting with her candy and didn't notice anything as Elizabeta rifled through her bag, only looking back at her once she pulled out her laptop, completely oblivious of anything wrong. "I also have a few things I want to make sure you're alright with before I put up. I don't want to step on your toes or anything."

[Elizabeta Héderváry]

"Oh, okay," Elizabeta replied, slightly distracted and had not even noticed the previous offer for candy with her unpacking. She reached for the power cord in her bag and plugged in her laptop. Glancing at back and forth at her suitcase and computer bag, she realized she hadn't brought any pictures or posters to hang up to make her feel more at home. Maybe she could buy something or take a few pictures of the campus later.

Turning back to her bag, Elizabeta closed the opened pocket and unzipped a small compartment to pull out her green camera equipped with a fully charged battery and an empty memory card.

[Belle Rousseau]

"It's nothing too outrageous. Just a few posters and pictures, my flag... and I plan on getting a few flowers from my brother if I can force him to do me a favor," she said with a reassuring smile, not that Elizabeta was looking. "I also thought we could get some curtains that weren't...well-- those..." she added, pointing at the drab sheet of stone gray hanging precariously over their single window. If she was to spend the next few months here she certainly wasn't going to subjugate herself or anyone else to curtains that weren't suitable to be a prison dog's blanket.
