We're a Couple of Misfits

<div align=center>As good as the school had treated her in general thus far, her luck seemed to run dry in a turn of involuntary events. Her fortress of solitude was bound to be colonized with yet another ruler, and none of it was her decision. Due to her nature however the situation hadn't necessarily made her embittered. It only would make things a littleÃ¢Â€Â¦ More complicated, to put in a euphemism.

The peculiar young lady was possibly one of the few extroverted introverts. Like on most days, she spent her time alone to her own mind and devices, and made the small little room around her not only her home but her canvas. The wall closest to her twin sized indoor hammock (because beds are too mainstream) was painted in every last corner with a rather intricate mural, one in which she painted herself. The room itself used to be like this all over. A little creativity here, a little spurt of inspiration thereÃ¢Â€Â¦ But that had changed just twenty four hours ago. Her head was cast gently to the side in her mass of pillows to stare at the now white wall- blank, much like the half of the room she divided herself- a former shell of what she once made with it. This subtle change in her life was due to just one thing- a new roommate was on his or her way.

Now, as she always told herself, this would be a more positive change rather than a negative one. She would be interested in what her new hopefully friend would do with their half. She was also interested in what they were like, and if they would get along. She was sure she was, butÃ¢Â€Â¦ There were just some doubts that floated around her mind about not only them, but herself as well. There may have been some little awkward things she needed to clear up before she continued on with any sort of relationship. At this point, the only thing that was guaranteeing that she would eventually show her true self were other kind souls that had accepted her. Hopefully, her new roommate would do the same.

But for now, Pollyanna was in her usual state. She had thrown on her usual lounge clothes- leggings, which were galaxy printed, and a black tank top- not figuring to dress up or the like. Around her head were secured headphones, and in her lap a sketchpad. Her eyes traced back up to the ceiling as she relaxed from exhaustion from preparation. Any minute now this person or creature would show up. Now to only not screw up the introduction. </div>

Tellios made his way to his 'new' room. He had just gotten onto the Dorm building and had a map. For once they gave him something he asked for. He studied it with a few bags he had and was having things shipped here. He was hoping that the room was set to his specifications His nanites crawled in his body, like blood moving but couldn't be seen by others. He opened up a scanning function that had helped him trace his steps to his room till he got to the door of his new home.

It was inhabited by another. Or so they told him. He put his hand over the keyhole of the room, the key he had gotten had become part of his body, as it was metal he made a perfect copy within himself of it as the key entered the hole it could be heard in the room.

He turned his hand, noticing the door was unlocked he turned the key back to neutral and the key returned into his body as he opened the door slowly. He was wearing a black shirt with 'Iron Maiden' with a list of places they were playing at as a road tour and black cargo shorts with black 'steel toed' boots on. He walked in and took a moment to figure out what was what. Noticing the large room, filled with art and other things, a huge wall separated the spaces. One that was covered in art, the other white as white can be. He sighed.

It wasn't the black he asked for at all. Which kind of set off a red flag in his mind as he scanned what he thought was his side of the room, a nice elegant looking arm chair as he walked into his side he looked about, he had a closet space.

Useless.

Some Drawers and a dresser.

Both useless. and a few other items that he could have deemed either useless or useful but didn't care as he took off his shirt and tossed it on the chair after putting his bags on the ground and a small duffel bag of clothes on the small dresser and pulled out a blank black shirt and put it on. he had a fit body. Though he wasn't of flesh it look 100% real. He then sat in the chair for a moment and then talked to himself after thinking he was alone. So he grabbed a bottle of unlabeled whiskey and grabbed one of the small glasses. It had a strong smell if someone was smelling it directly but besides that it looked like juice. Kind of. He poured himself a glass and took a drink of it. Putting the bottle away under the chair as he took the drink away from his mouth, he felt the liquid go down, but had no affect on him.

"Man.. What a day." He said leaning his head back and closing his eyes.

<div align=center>Well, the time had come. Pollyanna sat up to rest on her elbows, the hammock she had made into a pillow nest swaying aggressively with the action. As soon as she opened her mouth to greet a happy hello, the man walked right past her to his own side. Oh. Well, she didn't want to interrupt whatever he was doing. So she reclined back and continued what she was in the process of drawing. Her pencil gilded easily over paper as she sketched out the basis of what looked like a realistic unicorn. Of course.

To her own business she kept, waiting patiently for the man to get himself situated. Usually, her meetings with others were on pure accident. Ironically pre meditated planning wasn't her forte, so she would have to wing whatever she were to come up with. It was only until she smelled the scent of alcohol did she really perk up.

Personally, she wasn't one to really consume alcohol as she knew her brain was already messed up in fifteen hundred different ways. But she wasn't going to be a cop about it, either. Still perhaps this was a sign that he was relaxing rather than unpacking or situating, so it was an excellent opportunity to introduce herself. Or, at least, she hoped so.

With a swing and roll to the ground she almost silently approached the young man. With a deliberate yet harmless poke to the area behind his shoulder, she returned her arms to innocently fold behind her back. "Um, I'd really hate to interrupt your relaxin, so by all means ignore me. But anyway, welcome to your new room!" She chirped from behind him, rocking on her bare heels discreetly. </div>

Tellios was taking a moment to himself, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw a girl rocking back and forth, he was confused about what was going at this moment. His eyes scanned the girl for a moment, and could only detect trace amounts of human blood in her as is. He shook it off. Though she looked nice as she spoke to him.

He got up from his chair and put the glass on a small table. By his chair. Thankfully no bed was in the room. All he waited for was the amount of Televisions and monitor screens coming in.

"Thank you young Lady." he spoke in return, he wasn't one to be disturbed, but he wasn't also one to ignore someone being genuinely nice at this time. "No it's fine, it is nice to have some company. I'm Tellios. Tellios Vulcanis. I take it you are close to who ever my roommate is?"

He pointed at his chair.

"Please. Sit down, take a load off." He said trying to figure out what to say, he was new and didn't have much in his room besides the obvious little things for now.

Though he didn't hear to door open at all so she must have been here for a while, maybe she was with the roommate, since he didn't actually meet who ever it was and just wanted to see his room and that was it. He didn't give it much thought to an answer as he saw what she was wearing. It was. Interesting to say the least. The Galaxy print was very artistic and seemed neat. Given enough time he would probably get lost in the print as he started to search for a photo in his mind, though his eyes didn't move from the ladies gaze he watched her rock back and forth slightly.

<div align=center>Well, at least her new dorm mate seemed pleasant. Pollyanna watched as he put his glass down, and noticed that he was at least a bit comfortable already. That was good, and at the bare minimum he wasn't creeped out by her yet either. Another bonus. She smiled pleasantly with his introduction, and stuck out her hand with quite the peppy moxie to return the favor. "Well, it's good to have ya Tellios. I gotta say, you have quite the fancy name there." Tellios. Heh, that would be fun to say. "Well! Thanks for the salutations. My name is Pollyanna Bellamy, and I am indeed your roommate." What else would she be? Only a few others ever wanted to hang out with her, and even if they did they wouldn't barge into her room brashly.

With the offer of the seat, she don't know whether to accept or decline. She was just resting and didn't want to impose on the man. Then again, she didn't want to be rude either and cause unnecessary strife. "Oh... Okie dokie, I appreciate it!" She beamed with a less than delicate flop, giggling with the small bounce. She looked up to the man, her oddly colored eyes focusing on him. Due to her genetic reconstruction her pupil was missing, leaving everything except her sclera to be lost in a pool of a creamed coffee color. "So Mister Tellios, you new here?" She asked with an inquisitive tone. "If there's anything I can do for ya by the way, let me know. I'll do my best to help." It was a little odd how the quiet girl opened up in these scenarios. It almost gave off the impression that she had superior confidence.

She then noticed him noticing her pants. She snickered a little, and crossed her legs and arms while reclining somewhat formally. "Glad you like my leggings, sir." She remarked lightheartedly. </div>

Tellios nodded his head for a moment. He saw her hand come out and a white line traced it and came up with text.

Handshake;Place hand on others and shake it up and down.

He shook her hand for a moment and then slowly pulled his hand away.

Pollyanna was a very interesting name. In his head he opened up a small Bio page for her. His optics made notes about her till it stopped dead as he was hit with some information.

Roommate? Her? He blinked a few times trying to find out what was going in this place. Co-ed? He was under the assumption that it would be split, but he wasn't worried about it as he leaned up against a wall not too far from Polly. She was in his chair for now as her roommate but he wasn't too picky on it. Though he was slightly curious on this set up.

It's an Experiment. Ru- before the Green text could finish he ran a protocol in order to stop it. He caught it in time. Though he was interested in why he was placed here, but then again. Who was he to say no to a place to stay that was 'safe'.

"No problem at all. It's a nice chair. I will be sure to add another in case you wish to come here more often. Maybe a few other additions as I go." He wasn't not going to do that. He wanted to make his roommate comfy as he was going. In case she wanted to sit in his room at all. He wasn't going to deny her that.

"Yes. I am. I just got to the Island not too long ago. I've yet to make my way around campus, and please, just Tellios is fine." Mister didn't sit right with him for the most part. He stilled had a grudge, but that wasn't for her to know at all. Though he was curious on what she knew about him, considering they just met. Nothing which was good. "Careful. I may take you up on that.'

He turned his back to his roommate for the moment and grabbed his drink and took a sip from it. He didn't really care at this point. He had hopped he made a decent first impression. He turned back to her and heard her joke.

"Oh yeah, I can just get lost in them. The texture, the picture and even the detail." He returned the lighthearted remark as he rubbed his chin. "Just find that there is too much I don't know about the universe. Well space is one of them."

Batty · Apr 30, 2014

<div align=center>As she was discussing with her new roommate, she noted some things about him mentally. At least he wasn't disdainful of her yet, and at least he returned her handshake. Curiosity sprung from within her as she wondered what he was like, in terms of ability. Was he just a normal human with exceptional talents, or was he something more? Well, on any case he was now stuck with a mutant for a roommate. But he didn't have to know that... Yet.

She seemed rather pleased with his kind offer, and smiled brightly. "Well, thanks! And hey, since we're roomies now I outta offer the same thing." She gestured slightly over to her side, the one that appeared like it was directly out of an abstract art museum. She had some pretty cool stuff, though most of it were pieces she had made in her free time.

"Well anyway, good to have you. You're gonna like it a lot here, I sure do." She reassured with confidence, hoping that he would. For her at least the building offered her the option to be what she really was... Though whether or not the public was going to see it was up to her. "There's a lot to this school, but it's not too hard to get used to... But yeah, like I said, I can show you around if you want." It was the least she could do, and she liked to feel important.

She looked once more down to her pants, initially not thinking much about them when she bought them. She shrugged and smiled slightly. "Ha, well... To be honest I don't know a lot about space, but... I think it looks very pretty out there..." She had always wanted to go to space. Why? Some of the prettiest pictures she had seen came from space. She wasn't exactly a science oriented person, but heck it didn't matter.

Well, back to the basics. She looked up to him, head tilted, unnatural eyes showing her thought. "Well, mind telling me about yourself a little bit? Just curious, I just want to get to know you a little better." </div>

Watcher · Apr 30, 2014

Tellios walked over to the chair and knelt down at the side, putting his hand under the chair to grab the drink that he put under and walked over to his now empty glass as he filled it again slowly taking his time. He was curious about her, but not in a big way. He thought she was just human with powers as is. Making text on her bio as they were talking he was becoming more and more interested in the conversation. She did talk a lot, which was odd for someone talking to Tellios but if she was his roommate he would have to deal with it for the next little while.

"No need to worry about me. I will be in here at all times if you need me unless I am at class." He said taking a small drink. He rubbed the bridge of his nose for a moment as she was trying to act as host in his room.

"Thank you for being here when I got here. It is nice to meet the person I will be sharing living space..." he stopped and looked at the wall between the rooms. "Well at least sharing this giant room with. I just need to get my hands on a map at the school and I can find my way around. It will be easy I hope."

She stated that she didn't know much about space as she was looking at her pants. Tellios was curious on why, then it clued in that she was looking at the print on it. Nothing else for the most part as is. Tellios took another sip. He wasn't getting drunk at all, he just did it for the sake of doing it.

"Well, I guess with my roommate I should not tell a lie." He looked at her from the corner of his eye. A few small robotic spiders ran up and down his arm, moving though his clothes and leaving the clothes fine as if nothing happened. "These little robots are called Nanites or Nanobots. They are what make up what you see. I can manipulate them as I see fit, I was created by some group of scientists trying to make the perfect synthetic human bu-"

He then stopped himself and turned around, waving off the conversation at that point. Though if she pushed the point he would answer.

A few nanites got onto the chair, after crawling onto the ground, each one's eyes looking at polly one from the right of the arm chair, and two more from the top of the arm chair. She may be seeing a lot of them so Tellios wanted to get her used to them so she doesn't try and destroy any.

"What about you?"

Batty · Apr 30, 2014

<div align=center>Pollyanna nodded, understanding. He seemed rather capable of figuring out things for himself, just as she had when she first came. Then again, confrontation wasn't her speciality. She was a person that enjoyed her solitude- though, this isn't to say she didn't enjoy a conversation. She had mentally reminded herself not to be so abrupt with this new person. Paranoia for being overbearing, it was. However, with the mention of the map, she stood up briefly and approached her dresser. On top of it was a map she had picked up herself when she first arrived. It was fancy as it was given to her in her invitation, but she had no use for it anymore. She perkily returned it to the man, handing it to him. "Convenient, huh? You can have that, it's got other important stuff in it so it's pretty useful." Hopefully it would be of use to him. It was her best friend so to say when she first arrived. "And the same to you."

Much to her astonishment however she realized that perhaps this acquaintance was more like her than she realized. She watched in both wonder and astonishment as the robotic spiders crawled over and into him, her head tilting slightly. She didn't mind at all, and quite honestly wasn't phased at least in any sort of negative sense. But to meet someone who was like her..? It... Couldn't be...

"Ohh..." She mumbled, unable to think of what to say. Soon enough she found the words however and this smiled softly. "How very... Interesting!" She looked down at the synthetic creatures close to her. They were just so... Cool! But alas, a bit of bittersweetness came to her when she realized that he was a lab experiment. At least he wasn't a failed one, right.

"Haha... Well, you're not the only lab project here in that case." She looked down at herself in slight remorse. "I was made from other living things... Like a DNA frakenstein-thingy. But uh, things didn't necessarily go right..." Well, at the very least she appreciated getting those big things out of the way. And that the man in front of her was comfortable with sharing. "Thanks for telling me, I'll be super careful not to hurt any of your nanobots... They're kinda cute." She noted the last part lightheartedly, silently giggling at the little metal bug. Maybe she would share who she was after all. Perhaps.</div>

Tellios took the map out of her hands and made a note that he had it as he put it on his dresser on top of his duffel bag. He was happy he got it and would study it later to create a map in order to figure things out. Eventually he opened his mouth to thank her.

"Thank you Polly. It is appreciated."

He nodded his head at her thanking him. "No need to thank me. We will be sharing the quarters from now on."

He finished speaking as he put the cup up to his mouth when he heard her information about her. He froze for a moment, the liquid TOUCHING his lips. Some slipping into his mouth as he pulled it away.

She's.. Like.. Us.

Appeared in his head as he slowly turned his gaze to her. He was interested. He thought he was the only one. The only experiment doomed to fail. He put the glass down and put a hand on her shoulder, and one under her chin as he slowly attempted to lift her head, with little force, if she didn't he would pull his hand away.

"Logic dictates that if you are here now, a breathing young lady. You are more then what they thought of you. Though I never said I wasn't a success, though mine didn't go so well either I was branded a failure. If you wish to know, it's up to you."

He was trying to reassure her that she was going to be alright and what not. Though, no matter how many times he could hear those words in his own mind, he never believed it at all. His mind was playing recordings of the past over and ever. Watching from the cameras. Hearing every word.

She's with the-

He saw in his head as well. He cleaned himself up for a moment and shook his head and then he backed off a bit. It probably was a little too much for now and he gave her the space she may need as he leaned up against the wall beside his dresser.

"If you wish to keep one, tell me. They make very good friends." He said and then in a low tone he spoke again. "best friends.."

He said, his face turned into a blank stare, he remembered them crawling around him, talking to them. After a bit a smile came up on his face.
