One of the things that Leia hated about Orchid was the way that you had to sleep in dorms. Leia seemed to have quite a large personal bubble which stayed around her. She liked her privacy and the dorms meant that she had lost a lot of that. That is one of the reasons she'd taken to wandering around Orchid at night. It was private. Tonight she couldn't go wandering though. She'd been up most nights this week and though she had excellent stamina everyone needs sleep at some point or other. So tonight she would actually make an appearance in her dorm. Somehow or other she'd never spoken to anyone in there... it was weird but she seemed to have a different routine for getting changed and going to bed at all... but it would be nice to make some sort of contact...
Leia walked into her dorm and saw that there was someone else sitting in her dorm. Well it had been what she'd wanted... Still how did she approach. Leia realised she was staring and proceeded to make her way across the room to her bed. She straightened a few items on her bed side table before turning again.
"Uh... I'm Leia..." Yeah Leia wasn't the best at starting up conversation. Oh well.

For the past ten minutes or so, Maddison had been aimlessly doodling on her legs with a permanent marker. She was sitting on her bed with her legs hanging off the edge, wearing a black pair of shorts and a tight fitting 'Thunder cats' t-shirt. Her head was down and her vibrant red hair tumbled over her shoulders and hung by her face as she drew. Maddison heard the door open and a figure walk inside, but she ignored them and continued doodling. Maddie was new to Orchid, she had only arrived at the school early that morning, so she knew no one. Normally Maddie would have introduced herself to her dorm mate, but she had the strangest feeling that the person was staring at her whilst she drew, so she remained quiet. After several silent seconds passed, Maddison heard the girl introduce herself and Maddie suddenly lifted her head up to look at the girl. A large smile appeared on Maddie's lips as the girl introduced herself as Leia.
“Hey!” said Maddie over-enthusiastically as she sprung up from where she was sitting, taking her marker with her and skipped over to where Leia's bed was, jumped and sat down. “I'm Maddie.” she smiled, reaching her right arm out for Leia to shake. [/center] |

When the girl seemed to notice Leia she seemed very much overly happy. It was a bit weird. Then again, Leia hadn't seen this one before... also new? Maybe. It didn't really matter in the end. What did matter was the fact that 'Maddie' was sitting right beside her, on Leia's bed, so far insode her bubble that Leia backed away into the wall, slightly intimidated by this friendliness. Yeah, intimidated. Definately. Leia limply shook Maddie's hand. And great, she had a permanent marker in her hand. Leia had good reason to hate permanent marker. When she was small, one of her friends had drawn over all of her barbies in black permanent marker, forever ruining them. Nothing seemed to work. Until her mum tried fairy liquid. But by then it didn't matter, I mean, she was twelve by that time. Still it had scarred Leia for life. She couldn't help glancing warily at the marker now. Just make no sudden movements... but she was being stupid. She wasn't a child anymore, neither was Maddie... she hoped.
"Em... yeah... em.." Leia didn't know how to politely ask Maddie to get of her bed and out of her personal bubble. Did Maddie have no sense of privacy?

As soon as Leia had shook hands with Maddie, she returned to what she had been doing only moments ago. Electric green eyes quickly scanned her ink-covered legs until she had found what she was looking for. She found a small patch of clean skin to the side of her left knee. Lifting her left leg up, she bent it and rested her knee on her right leg and started doodling again. As she scribbled the word 'Riot' on her skin with the black marker, she began to speak.
"So.So.So..."She started as she continued to doodle, "How long have you been at Orchid? What wonderful things can you do? Got a boyfriend? What's your favourite colour? Got any talents or hobbies? What's your favourite band? Or do you prefer solo artists? What's your home town? Is it close or is it far? East or west? North or south? Do you speak any languages other than American? Are we like two peas in a pod, or do we have another roomie? What classes do you prefer? Left handed or right? Can you lick your elbow? Right footed or left? Can you dance? Does your hair frizz in the rain? Got any pets? Do you have any markers? I'm think I'm taking a reaction to this one." Maddie stopped what she was doing and put the lid back on her marker before looking up at Leia with awaiting, vibrant green eyes. |

Does your hair frizz in the rain? Got any pets? Do you have any markers? I'm think I'm taking a reaction to this one." It was like having a bucket of water thrown over you. It was weird. So many questions... so many questions... hmm Leia supposed Madiie was just trying to be friendly... even if it did intimidate her... she should try and be nice rather than run like a ... out of the room.
"Where do I begin?" Leia laughed slightly, "Ok, I've been at Orchid, what, a month or maybe slightly more... I have really good vision, I control sound waves and I can walk through walls. No boyfriend. Green? I don't really know. I play the guitar and sing. Oh and I dance. Don't really have favourite music people... I like it in general. I lived in China till I was five and then we (my mum, dad and I) moved around Europoe a bit before copming to live in Northern Ireland. Chinese is supposedly my first language but I don't speak it much at all, I like to write it though. I also have a real mix of European languages as well as English. As to the other roomie... Not that I'm aware of but I could be wrong, I'm not in here that much. I love PE, languages that sort of thing. Ambidextrous in hands and feet, I can't lick my elbow. I LOVE dancing... absolutely love it. My hair does not frizz in the rain but stays straight (naturally straight). I have a falcon, but he's more wild than my pet, he lives in the wild. And sorry I don't have any markers... I have alergic reactions to them. What about you?" Leia didn't really have an allergic reaction to permenent marker but perhaps it would stop Maddie from drawing on her... Leia shuddered at the thought.

Maddie watched Leia intently as she answered her many questions. As she spoke, Maddie quickly became aware of the fact that Leia was beginning to ease up a bit and wasn't so shy. A smile formed on Maddie's lips as Leia asked her in return to talk about herself.
"Well, I just got here this morning; I can do many wonderous things; I don't have a boyfriend as such; I fancy singing quite a bit tbh; I LOVE a wee bitta panic at the disco-I swear, Brendon Urie is a buck and a half; Solo artist's are weird; I was born in Meridian, Mississippi, like that wee kid Dill from that book about the bird; I just speak American; I hope to god that we don't have another roomie; I'm right handed but I enjoy pretending that I'm left handed; I can sort of lick my elbow-I'm practising though; I'm probably right footed, I'm not sure; I can't dance but I can fully give it rice and it's a shame about our lack of markers. I'm allergic to their ink, but I don't think it's that serious." Maddison replied, shrugging.
Maddie reached her arms out infront of her and stretched a bit, before letting her eyes glance over her legs. "So," she began as she tried to strike up a conversation, "what's up with this whole 'controlling sound waves' thing?" Maddison sadly looked at the skin on her legs, there was no more room for pictures and Maddie glanced at Leia. Maybe, just maybe, Leia would agree to a doodle...or two. |

Leia watched as Maddie looked at her legs (Maddie's), then looked at her own. It was clear she was tempted, but how to avoid it? "My... uh alergic reaction is quite serious... em... yeah... not a good idea at all." Leia glanced warily at the marker. "Em... the sound waves, yeah its quite cool. I can sorta sense them, and I can manipulate them. I can make them come close to me so I can hear a whispered conversatoin on the other side of the room, or I can prevent them from going out, so that no one can hear a conversation of mine. It's uselful. Of course I'm still refining it. I've plenty to learn." Leia looked around, looking for something elses to distract MAddie with. "What group are you in?"
