[hr]
After the incident, the two continued into the dormitory. Casper, the young man on the receiving end of the shit stick, didn't seem all too happy about the event in general. Maybe they'd run into him again and find a way to cheer him up, who knows. Lenny led Harmon up the staircase, up towards the third floor. They passed by door after door until they reached their destination; 269. Lenny chuckled a bit as he stood before the door. He turned to Harmon, who didn't return a smile. Either he wasn't amused, or the joke went right over him. Lenny shrugged. [color=cyan]"Let's see if my roommate's here."[/color] He said, raising his hand and knocking on the door.

Sitting in his bed, pondering the events which had occurred, Casper managed a heavy sigh and reached for his handheld console. Why did this always have to happen? This time it was prevented but what about next time? First a teacher would save him from the clutches of misery and then two misfits would come and do the same. A third time would probably not be as kind to the boy. He had retired to his dorm only moments after the ordeal, not wanting to face any further hardships. Well, he wouldn't be left alone. Not quite yet. Breaking his attention from the screen, the boy would notice how the door swung open to reveal two familiar faces. He almost jumped off the bed first but instead sat silent, glaring at them. Was one of those his roommate?

[color=cyan]"Oh, hey, it's you."[/color] Lenny said calmly, looking over at Casper. He did a double take towards Harmon, then back to the young man, and said, [color=cyan]"You, uh, must be my new roommate. Cool."[/color]

It took a short moment before Casper could fully ground himself with the situation. Eventually, however, he managed a soft smile. This was him, huh? Well, at least it wasn't the pig he first expected. [color=ghostwhite]"Hello..."[/color] He spoke, waiting for them to tread further into the room. 

As the duo walked further inside, Lenny turned his head to scan the place. [color=cyan]"Looks pretty good, right?"[/color] He said, nudging Harmon with his shoulder. He was met with nothing but a nod as a response. After a moment he called out, [color=cyan]"Oh, shit, uh... names, right."[/color] He turned to Casper and said, [color=cyan]"I'm Lenny Boggs, man. This is my buddy Harmon. What's your name?"[/color]

Harmon! That was his name! Well, Casper wasn't too far off, was he? The boy looked between them before responding, turning his Playstation off. [color=ghostwhite]"I'm Casper..."[/color] He spoke quietly, still a bit unsure of how to approach this. Lenny seemed very confident in himself but Harmon had remained quiet. He was probably like Casper on that account, shy and reserved. Well, at least Casper had said hello, now. He could cross that from his bucket list. 

[color=cyan]"Oh, like the, uh... the friendly ghost. Heh."[/color] He tucked his hands in his pockets and passed a quick glance at the Xbox lying near the television. [color=cyan]"Anyway, uh..."[/color] He said, [color=cyan]"Me and Harm-O here are gonna just sit down and play this 50 Cent game. You cool with that?"[/color]

The friendly little ghost...Casper flinched slightly at hearing that but he didn't make a big deal out of it. In fact, he didn't even comment on it. Apart from the slight sting he felt from hearing those words, he knew that Lenny didn't mean anything by it. He didn't seem like the person who would intentionally be mean, besides...he had saved Casper, with Harmon at his side. [color=ghostwhite]"Yeah..."[/color] The boy nodded at Lenny's question. It was his room too, they could do whatever they wanted within reason. 

Lenny nodded and knelt down to power up the console. Harmon continued to stand upright, but by now, he was focusing the lens of his camera - still clipped to his coat - on Casper. He felt like he'd caught a glimpse of him before the incident downstairs, but it wasn't coming back to mind. Maybe it was the shards' fault. While Lenny was getting the game ready - and by the notion that is was a game about 50 Cent, everyone in the room knew how much fun it was going to be - he worked up the gall to make some small talk. [color=gray]"Y-... are, uh... are you, new here?"[/color] He said softly.

Casper blinked a few times at the question and understood that Harmon hadn't noticed him last year. Well, he wasn't really that visible, though given the fact that his hair was always dyed in some way, he could be spotted easily enough. [color=ghostwhite]"No..."[/color] He shook his head. [color=ghostwhite]"I've been here since last year..."[/color]

[color=gray]"Ah..."[/color] Harmon responded, saying nothing further beyond that. He slowly turned his head back towards the television and slumped downward, taking a seat at the floor beside the bed Casper was resting on. At that moment, Lenny spoke up again.

[color=cyan]"Oh, uh, girl named Kayla is gonna show up later too. Just so ya know."[/color]
