Natalia answered the secretary's questions quickly and then went to change, mumbling to herself unintelligibly. Anyone who cared to listen would just hear something like "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..." and they'd see her tapping the sides of her legs like a nervous twitch.
Denis went up to the secretary and asked if there was a library... or really, any quiet place at all that he could retreat to in this building. -
Ross nodded, crossing his arms. ``That's much better than having to listen to four different thoughts at a time, as well as my own.``
Ophelia walked around, searching for a place away from people. She already had enough voices to deal with.
``No! I want to find the library.``
``Fiona, I swear to God-``
``Guys, stop it! AH SH-T!``
Ophelia tripped, managing to catch herself before she fell. ``Thanks for the warning,`` she muttered aloud, earning snarky remarks from her souls. ``Okay, I get it. I'm as blind as a bat.`` -
"I'll tell you after a little meeting with you all!" One of the Secretary said to Denis, smiling as she clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. "Alright everyone! Make a circle here in the middle please!" The woman said, gaining people's attention, including Jinx and Susie.
"Oh yeah, what's your name? My name is Susie, or Sam when I prefer He/Him or They/Them." She asked Ross, turning her head towards him again. -
Natalia, now wearing a long white shirt, white shorts, knee-high socks, and scrunchies as bracelets, walked out of the dressing room and saw Ophelia wandering around and almost fall. "I think the desk lady wants us to go back with the others," She said to the stranger.
Denis nodded. Perfectly understandable. He hesitantly walked near the others, trying to stay far away and invisible, but that was a hard thing to do when forming a circle. -
Ophelia looked over and nodded, heading back toward the others. Her eyes switched to purple and pink, a worried expression on her face.
``Did she see that?? I really hope she didn't.. God, this is so embarrassing-``
``Nessa, we get it. YoU dOn'T LiKe ThIs!``
``Now Wren, we shouldn't say things like that, especially to Nessa.``
``ShUt yOuR tRaP, FiOnA!``
``Lord, help this girl...``
``Uhm, I-I'm Ross, and I go by he/him and sometimes they/them,`` he said, once he got into the circle. -
Susie smiled, also walking over to the circle. There wasn't many people, about maybe 70 max. She looked back at the person who called them.
The girl smiled. "Thank you all for being here on time, and welcome newcomers! Before we begin, make sure that the hosts are in control before I'll continue. I'd like only the hosts, and no souls in sight." She said, making Dino pout and disappear. -
Natalia followed behind Ophelia as they headed to the circle. She listened to the speaker and then looked around as some people's personalities shifted and hosts came to the forefront. Natalia's souls were a bit upset that not everyone had had the chance to explore the new place yet, but Natalia pushed them back and promised they'd have a look later.
Denis looked around at the group. Some were young, some were older. But all of them had the potential to be useful... ugh. Denis shook his head. Corn was really making him think condenscendingly today. This was why he could never make friends. -
Ophelia managed to calm down her souls, regaining control of her body. She listened to the girl speak, watching silently.
Ross walked over, his souls still chatting. His eyes turned green/hazel and he sighed, rubbing his temples. ``Guys, quiet down.``
His eyes turned bright green again and his posture changed. ``Yeah, listen to Ross-``
``No, you!``
``That's not a good comeback.``
``No, you!``
``I- I'm leaving.``
``Me too..``
``Fine.``
He exhaled, his eyes turning back to green/hazel. ``This is annoying...`` -
The woman smiled, continuing. "Thank you. As you must know, you all are here because there are souls stuck inside the same body as you." She paused, looking around. "The most common reason is either they haven't accepted the fact that they're dead, or they have, but have unfinished business. The rarest reason is that they aren't dead, but need a body to occupy." She said.
Susie and even Jinx seemed nervous about that, and Jinx rarely showed emotions. -
Natalia had a lot of souls within her, and she wondered which of these reasons applied to her and her troupe. She only knew that Florencia had been dead for a while, and that was because Florencia had been with her the longest. No one else seemed eager to offer up information about their past.
What's your reason, Corn? Denis thought curiously. Corn didn't respond. Denis could feel that he was angry though. Denis couldn't tell if the soul was angry because of the nickname or angry because of the question. -
Susie wanted to ask her souls, but she could feel anger coming from Wolf and Jake, the only souls she knew had anger issues. She pushed them both back so they wouldn't get control and attack the woman.
Jinx, on the other hand, only felt nervousness coming from Dino and Link, while Pinki just did nothing. No emotion at all. Weird.
The woman clapped her hands to quiet down the group. "Our mission is to figure out the reason they're stuck and how to weaken them, and even remove them completely." She smiled. "Now! Since that's out of the way, there are a couple of things you should know before we let you explore."
She paused, pointing at the second floor. "Each of you will have 3 roommates, making 4 of you in each dorm. Later tonight, you all will look at each dorm and find your name on a door. Remember that for later tonight. otherwise, you will get locked out of your dorm." -

Ophelia nodded as she listened somewhat intently, trying to keep her souls from bursting out.
Ross nodded as he made mental notes in his head. He scrunched his nose, mentally cringing at the thought of roommates. Not that he didn't want roommates. He was just uh, not the most social, to say the least. Well, he's just very, very social awkward. Considering he has social anxiety, it made sense. -
Natalia felt Captain Rodger get excited at the prospect of having a crew again. She didn't want to disappoint him and tell him that it wasn't exactly like that. Riot seemed more excited at the chance to flirt. In fact, everyone seemed excited... except Randy, who was always nervous around female company, and the ever-elusive Talon.
Denis frowned a bit. Wasn't it disappointing to room with creatures below him? Denis winced, once again noticing that Corn was influencing his thoughts. Ugh, this was why he was so antisocial. Sometimes he'd let something weird slip out like "foolish cretin" instead of friend or "you don't have the right to speak to me, scum" instead of hello.
