Roomies

New school, new adventures to be had. At least, that's what Aleks kept hearing from the voice she shared her head with. Truth be told, the academy and the island it was situated on wasn't like anything they had seen before. It carried a certain amount of mysticism to it and a sense of ease. It was new, different, and free from any weird looks that they'd get back at their old, normal highschool.

Letting out a sigh as she fumbled for the key to their new dorm room, Aleks unlocked and opened the door, expecting to find a pristine room that had yet to be used. And yet... It appeared to be the opposite.

Pursing her lips for a moment, Aleks stepped into the room, her bag slung lazily over her shoulder. All the while she eyed the peculiar black haired girl they appeared to be rooming with. "... Hey, uh... Roommates, right?" She asked as she entered, trying to start off with a casual greeting.

Aleks smiled, at least trying to be friendly. The girl seemed nice enough if a bit too proper for her tastes. It definitely could've been worse though, and she'd suck it up.

"Yeah, that's us." She replied, gesturing to herself. If she was gonna adjust to this "normality" here, she might as well get started now. Before she could think of saying further though, a sudden and rather harsh sounding voice came out of nowhere.

"What the Hell?" Her head twisted side to side, looking for the source, until she looked back at Hasuka. It slowly began click, as her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Wait-- that voice, is it your's?"

@Tomas Elliot

((That was perfect))

Ohhh, we're going into an exposition sequence.

... And once it was all finished and explained properly, Aleks seemed particularly unphazed by what she was just told. Tsk'ing in thought, she moved to move her bag off her shoulder, going to give it a gentle toss over onto the unoccupied bed space in the dorm.

"So you're basically us." She said, turning her full attention back to Hasuka and the rather unfriendly spirit voice. "I share this body with someone else, thanks to my ever-meddling father." She explained. "Her name's Dakota, mine's Aleks. And as long as Kohakuren doesn't try and kill us, I think we'll get along... fine." She hesitated momentarily, considering the implications of rooming with these two.

Yeah, this was going to be a long school year.

@Tomas Elliot

Well, the conversation was heading down that downwards slope of 'awkwardness'. Aleks let out an idle sigh, moving to sit down next to her stuff on her bed. She hunched forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees and letting herself rest her chin on her hands.

"Well, I'll let Dakota out now. She wants to meet you and your... voice-y spirit thing." She said, sounding almost somewhat drowsy. It might've not been apparent to Hasuka, but Aleks didn't even wait for an answer to switch places in the driver's seat with her other half. The switch was seamless, Dakota's eagerness to meet them firsthand helping the process along.

And very quickly, it was done. "Hey!" She said, moving to stand up and offer her hand out for a handshake. "I'm Dakota, her 'other half'. Nice to meet you both!"

@Tomas Elliot

A gentle smile pulled at the edges of Dakota's lips, then replying. "Yeah, we can. It's really not that hard... Like switching a switch?" She mused, figuring that was the closest comparison to someone outside. "Shame you guys can't do something like that... Or is it?" She asked, eyeing her curiously. "I bet Kohakuren would like something like that. Not sure about you, though."
