Leos

A new school year meant a new roommate. Leos observed as students hauled their luggage and scurried into the building. Pokemon eagerly followed their trainers, and it was relatively easy to pick out first years, who all seemed to be more frantic about finding their dorm building. Leos had arrived early, alongside his brothers, and had taken a walk around the property, only to find it exactly how he remembered it to be. The dark-haired young man's hands rested in his pockets as he walked into his dorm building, careful to avoid trainers rushing about attempting to find where they belonged. The beginning of the year was almost always a hassle. Due to being one of the head donors to the school, he was allowed to come onto the property early.

The dorm building was cleanly, and he could see his reflection in the floor. Leos shuffled down the hallway, before finally arriving at his dorm room. He had decided to devote the upcoming year to building another pokemon team. Older, more experienced trainers often had multiple teams. He already had bred two new pokemon. So far, he had exclusively been a fairy-type trainer. However, he decided that he would train dragon types for his newer team. He twisted the bronze doorknob, opening the entrance, only to find that his roommate had not yet arrived. He entered the room swiftly. His side of it was neatly-kept, very tidily organized, as he preferred his living spaces to be. Still, he wondered what type of person he would be meeting.

He simply hoped that they were pleasant. Gender didn't matter as much to him as it mattered to Mathias. Leos had gone out of his way to remind Mathias not to pester any young woman that might be his roommate. But Arceus knew if his advice was taken to heart. More often then not, Mathias preferred to do things his own way. Which Leos would be fine with, if only his brother wasn't such a lackadaisical figure. At times, Leos worried for both of his brothers. He only just wished that they'd be wiser with their life choices. Mathias was overly energetic and often a handful to deal with. Sighing, Leos plopped down on his bed, bending down to reach into his suitcase, so he could unpack the remaining items within it.

----

The school year had started! As Mathias paraded all over campus, he greeted many people and reunited with old friends. He was one of the most popular young men on campus and he was heavily aware of that. Thankfully, he lacked the terrible arrogance that many other popular young men had acquired. More than anything, he was excited to meet his new roommate! He hoped that they were a girl! He loved girls! The tall blond was practically skipping over to his dorm building. His Umbreon was perched on his shoulders--although she was barely holding on. The poor dark type was forced to cling on for dear life as her boisterous trainer entered the dorm building. Grinning from ear to ear, he began to move into the hallway, and towards his room.

He gave loud, enthusiastic greetings to familiar faces along the way. The bulky blond hurried down the hall, eyeing all of the room numbers. He had been into his room already and put his luggage down, but he had left in order to sign up for the opening tournament. Now that he was a second year, he definitely had a shot at winning! Unlike his poor little brother Nikolai, who had just arrived at the academy for the first time ever. For once in ages, Leos had allowed Mathias to show Nikolai around somewhere. before arriving at his dorm room, where he inserted the key and tossed the door open. Rushing inside, he proclaimed.

"DADDY'S HOME!!"

~Abigail Blanchett~

Well, she for one was finally glad to be here. What she wasn't glad about, was the other first years running all over the place. Most of them seemed completely lost. Amusing, to be sure really, but it meant most hadn't already prepared for their arrival here. Tsk, amateurs. She doubted any of them would at all be a challenge for her, or even provide at least a little bit of one. She supposed though, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. She'd reserve judgement until everything was settled and things got started.

She probably looked out of place among the other first years, calmly striding through the mass of them with her Gliscor, Flit, peering at them from over her shoulder while she hung onto her back. The pokemon gave her cheek a small pinch as a rumbling noise emanated from its stomach.

"I said you can eat once we get to the room, Flit." She huffed. It wasn't the first time this gluttonous little Gliscor pestered her for food. The Gliscor shifted on her back, popping its head up over her other shoulder and giving her other cheek a poke in a dissatisfied manner. She sighed, but ignored the pesky pokemon for now. Her room was on the first floor, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find. She honestly was looking forward to her time here. Maybe there would be some good people here that could challenge her.

The only thing she wasn't looking forward too, was being made to have a roommate. She hoped whoever it was, was a competent trainer and not some bumbling idiot.

"See, that didn't take so long, did it?" She said, giving the pokemons ear a little pet. "You should be more patient, we're here already." Flit simply clicked her claws in response, obviously eager to get some food. She opened the door to the dorm, somewhat dreading she wouldn't like her roommate. When she stepped into the room...well, she supposed she could have done worse. He was a well dressed individual, rather unlike herself. He kind of reminded her of those posh men her mother would hang out with at some fancy party or something she never liked much. He lost a couple of points there, but other than that he seemed pretty good.

"So you're my roommate, huh?" She said, walking through the door and closing it behind her. Gliscor jumped off of her shoulder, landing on the other bed. "You look like you just crawled out of a party or something." She gave him a small smirk, throwing her bags onto the ground next to her bed before sitting next to Flit. She reached into it, looking around for something for a few seconds. It was obvious she wasn't exactly all that organized.

"Name's Abigail," She said, pulling out an apple from her bag and tossing it to Flit who happily started munching on it. "Guess we're roommates this year."

~Lynette Baines~

At the back of the crowds and the noisy first years, followed a little girl who was followed by a not so little Cofagrigus. The girl moved slowly, doing little twirls and spins, almost as if she was dancing with some unseen force as she completely ignored the odd stares of the other students who were straggling behind like she was. Well, if she was straggling anyways - she was right where she wanted to be. A quiet place in the back where she could go unnoticed. As she approached the building, she finally stopped doing her slow, partner-less waltz, coming to a stop by giving a little hop and landing on her left foot.

"Hmm...so many people, wouldn't you agree Chuckles?" She asked the Cofagrigus. The ghost type chuckled in response, one of its four ghostly arms giving its trainer a little pat on the shoulder.

"Aww, aren't you a sweet little thing, but It's okay, I'm not scared." She replied with a twirl, facing the larger pokemon with a grin. "In fact, this is going to be so much fun! So many people to play with, so little time! I do hope they have some fun people here." The Cofagrigus chuckled eerily again in response. "Lets be off then! We should get to our dorm so we can give our roommate a warm welcome!~" Once again chuckling in agreement, Cofagrigus set off after Lynette who was happily skipping along towards the second floor and the dorm.

It didn't take the duo long to reach the dorm, and she waltzed in without even knocking on the door. The room was about as typical as she expected of a dorm. She was a bit disappointed at that, but well, whatever. That was alright, the main thing was if her roommate was going to be fun or not! She hoped they didn't mind the occasional prank, or minded her ghost friends. T'would be sad indeed if they didn't, but she supposed that was life.

A sad little bucket of hopes and dreams that could be easily spilled.

She walked over to the bed in a mostly normal fashion, plopping down on it and throwing her bags carelessly onto it. She'd unpack later. For now she'd eagerly await her roommate to see who they were. Chuckles seemed to have the same idea, and set his body down right in front of the door, facing it and ready to greet any who would enter. Its red eyes, sharp teeth and lovable chuckling would definitely make a good impression on anyone entering, definitely.

While waiting on her new roommate, Lynette decided it was probably best for the others to get a bit of fresh air as well. None of them liked staying in their pokeballs. She could sympathize, really! Being cooped up in one all day wasn't fun at all. Well, aside from Skully. Him and Chuckles together would take up too much room in the dorm. No need in overcrowding it, she'd take the Dusknoir on an evening waltz later. She released the other two from their pokeballs. Dolly, the Banette decided her head would make a good perch, while Wisp her playful Lampent floated around the room, excitedly exploring the new room.

"Hehe~ What do you think, Dolly?" She asked the Banette. "I like it. Nice and simple! Hey hey, who do you think our new room mate is gonna be? I do hope they like all of you." Dolly simply gave a small, somewhat dismissive cry before landing in her lap. She wrapped her arms around the small ghost type, giving it a small hug. "Heh, you're right. It doesn't matter at all, does it?" And then, there came a knock at the door. Wisp froze, hiding behind the Cofagrigus. Lynette did the same, waltzing over to the door with Dolly in her arms, not saying anything.

The door opened, and Chuckles made his move. With a low, eerie chuckle, two of his hands opened the door all the way, practically throwing it open. The Cofagrigus' red eyes started at the newcomer, its mouth contorted into its typical grin. It tossed out one hand at the newcomer while the other rested on the ground. Following this, Wisp poked its head over the top of Cofagrigus, giving the new trainer a curious, but friendly look. Lynette poked her own head around the side of Chuckles, wearing her usual grin. Dolly managed to escape her grasp, however and floated over to the bed, completely uninterested.

Following Chuckle's welcome, Lynette continued.

"Hehe, hello!" She giggled.
