General action mingling!

[hair_guitar]

[The last day before classes begin again is always an exciting time. As nice as it is to have the place to herself and her music, it got pretty quiet during the off months. It also means that this has been an early morning for her. She'd already gotten the notice that she'd be having roommates coming in, so she'd made sure that Suite D was ready. The suite is cleaned up and, after reading that some places like hotels and stuff left chocolates for guests, decided that sounded like a good idea. Except when it had come time to actually put the plan into action, there'd just been too many different kinds to choose from, and it wasn't like she knew what kind they would like.

So, basically everybody in the suite has a pile of candy waiting for them on their pillow. That's obviously the best choice. People like candy, right? ... Right!]

[Other than that, Ellen can probably be found all over campus today, ready and willing to meet people and help newcomers find their way around the place. Whatever might come up.]

[It sure is a whole pile, yes. If she'd known she was leaving it for the hall monitor she might have tried to leave it organized instead of just sort of dumped there. Oh well, maybe next time.

She overhears Dlanor from the other room in the suite, because really how could she not, and is soon leaning around the doorway.]

Ah... hi. You must be one of my suitemates for this term.

[diethedesu]

YES. You, two new students, and myself are assigned HERE.

[Dlanor was aware enough of Ellen not to feel the need for formal introductions.]

Did you misplace this candy, or is it for me...?

[hair_guitar]

[Likewise, Ellen's familiar with Dlanor at least by reputation even if they didn't know each other very well. At least enough to not flinch at those shouted words.

She nods at her question, looking somewhat pleased at her plan.]

That's right. I read that some places leave candy like that to welcome no guests so I thought it would be a nice surprise.

[diethedesu]

This is quite a LOT...

[She's not complaining, just not sure how to react.]

Thank you.

[hair_guitar]

[Cue a slightly awkward laugh.]

Well... when I went to get it there were just so many different kinds and I wasn't sure which one would be the best. So....

I guess I did go a little overboard.

[diethedesu]

It's not a PROBLEM. I'll find some way to return the FAVOR. Until then, hopefully we can have a peaceful SEMESTER.
