New Roomates (Mist)

[Othala]

Cyn had been given the key to her new room and had busied herself strewing her belongings over her half of the room. She was busy plugging in her PC when someone walked in.

[scarlette]

Unaware that there was anyone else in the room, Mist strode over to her bed, half walking, half dancing, and let herself fall backwards onto the soft mattress. She covered her eyes with her hands, so tired she felt she could fall asleep right there.
"Man that was a stressful day," she muttered to herself.

[Othala]

"I take you're my roomate" said Cyn drily "Unless you enjoy sleeping in random beds Goldilocks"

[scarlette]

Mist sat bolt upright, staring at the other girl in surprise. It took her a while to become accustomed to the fact that there actually was someone else there before she replied.
"Yeah, uh, I'm Mist....although, um, some people do call me Goldilocks t-too, dunno why, um, I guess it's cos of the blonde hair," she stuttered a hesitant reply.

[Othala]

"Cyn" said Cyn simply, continuing to plug in her PC.

ooc: she isn't really a people person

[scarlette]

Mist couldn't really think of anything to say, they had arrived at a point in the conversation where they could quite easily lapse into silence, and Mist wasn't too fond of awkward silences, they made her nervous.
"Cool...Have you been here long?" she asked, aware of the clichè but unable to think of anything less boring.

ooc:lol, you don't say

[Othala]

"Arrived last night! said Cyn, straigtening up "Didn't get a bed until I was shown here this morning"

[scarlette]

"Wow, so you're a complete newbie. I'm telling you, it will take quite some getting used to, living at this school, what with the crazy hauntings, excessive teenaged drama and general madness," Mist said sociably. She doubted whether Cyn had heard about all the goings on at Trenton, but she was eager to fill her in on it all, just so they could have a proper conversation and avoid the awkward silences Mist was so used to having to sit through when meeting new people.

[Othala]

"Did you say hauntings?" said Cyn

[scarlette]

Mist looked at Cyn in bemusement, she couldn't beleive no one had told the poor girl about Davey. Still, she figured it was hardly the kind of thing they would put on the brochure.
"You have a lot to learn about Trenton, someone should really have mentioned it to you before you came here, it would have put you off coming here though," she said, half talking to herself, half talking to Cyn.
"Well see, there's this ghost, Davey, and he basically haunts the school...he's pretty demented, he's like the ghost of a boy who used to go to Trenton but was killed here. He's dangerous and twisted, really sick and twisted. He killed a boy, one of the students, and tried to kill a whole load of others. He's tried to kill me twice so far, I was nearly paralysed for life thanks to him. I guess he just doesn't like blondes or something. You're not going to beleive me, I know i didn't when I first heard about him, but I swear it's true, I've got scars all over my legs to prove it," she continued, lifting her skirt up to her knees to reveal the ugly white marks where glass and metal from the chandelier had dug into her, there was a dent in her flesh under her right knee, and a large gash near her ankle that had only just healed. She felt nervous and slightly sickened at revealing all this to the new girl, but she figured someone had to. She hastily let her skirt fall back over her calves, feeling physically ill at the sight of them.

[Othala]

Cyn was silent. It was a full five minutes before she spoke.
"I'm sorry" she said quietly "So a real live ghost did that?"

[scarlette]

Mist nodded earnestly. She spoke more quietly now, there was something about mentioning Davey that always made her do that.
"Yes...or at least I think so, unless we're all suffering from mass delusions, which is highly unlikely," she replied. She paused for a moment, considering the possibility, but she soon rejected it, the pain in her legs had been too real to be part of a delusion.
"Sorry, I'm not trying to scare you or anything, I just think you should know," she said after a while, trying to seem a little less serious.

[Othala]

Cyn sat down on the bed and looked at Mist long and hard. Finally she spoke.
"Well you don't look crazy and you don't look like you're smoking anything. How many times has this" she gestured to Mist's legs "sort of thing happened"

[scarlette]

Mist sighed, wishing now that she hadn't brought the matter up.
"Lots, he seems to favour attacking people at balls and in the forest. Well...what used to be the forest. You may have noticed that it's been burned down now. There was this whole crazy thing that happenned there, some of my friends were involved... Some students went down there to try and find answers, but Davey was one step ahead of them, he ambushed them and threatened to kill a girl, Cat, luckily this guy, Jase came up with the idea of burning down the forest as he figured ghosts were scared of fire. It worked, the girl was fine only..." Mist hesitated, not wanting to speak the words and remind herself of the terrible thing that had happenned.
"Only one of the guys, Casimir got blinded in the fire. I can't imagine the guilt Jase has been going through since then," she ended her tragic tale.

[Othala]

This school is weird thought Cyn.
"What's happened since then?" asked Cyn "After the forest was burnt down?"
