And you thought the days of room sharing ended in seventh year

[shnpc]

WHO: Teachers
TONE: Oh god they put us in a room together
RATING: PG for swearing
WHEN: Monday June 25th
WHERE: Rooms
WHAT: The teachers arrive at their retreat and get to settle in
STATUS: ongoing


[Everyone has arrived and been directed to where their rooms are. You get those fancy muggle key cards and some tickets for a free continental breakfast. You have to have your bags taken up by hotel staff though, muggles would think it's weird seeing trunks float anyways. You finally arrive to your room, it's silent, eerily silent. Oh god have your roommates already killed each other and left you to clean up the mess?]


[[ooc; The female teachers room is like the girls dorms at Hogwarts, it's charms so dudes can't get in. Girls can go in to the guys rooms though.]]

Oh. Thanksth, I gueth.

[darrrling]

Yes! Didi and I are bunking together. Connie is as disagreeable as ever, but I was expecting that. Is yours not very fun? Shall I sneak in and keep you entertained?

[polariity]

I have a couple people I haven't really gotten to know yet, and then there's Murdouche-

[wait what[

Entertained?

[darrrling]

Yes, entertained! Isn't that all part of keeping someone company?

[polariity]

No, jutht, entertained how?

[What are you getting at, Vodello? What tricks do you have up your sleeves?]

[darrrling]

Entertained the way friends keep each other occupied? Are you really that suspicious of me, darling?

[polariity]

...No? I'm jutht. I don't know. I wouldn't thay I have a lot of friendth.

[Acquaintances, sure, so long as they don't get to know him for too long.]

[darrrling]

Maybe not. I just thought you might count me among them, after Brazil.

[polariity]

...We are?

[He didn't know this!]

[darrrling]

Do you not think so?

[polariity]

No, I jutht didn't... think I wath likeable enough.

[darrrling]

[ Pause. Milla just looks at him like she's found an adorable, scraggly injured kitten, mewling for love on the lonely side of the road. ]

Oh, darling. Of course you are. Whatever made you think I didn't like you?

[ Sorry Art. It's hug time. Right here, right now. ]

[polariity]

[Wait. Wait what. What is happening. Why are there arms going around him oh god. Art just freezes up, looking very confused and even more awkward than before, if possible.]

I jutht... thought you were being nice. I'm kind of a dick.

[darrrling]

No, baby, I wouldn't do that. You're fine just the way you are, all right?

[ You are getting nice, comfy, close hugs, Art. Pls enjoy them. ]

[polariity]

You're one of the few people to thay tho, then.

[He'll enjoy them when he stops being confused, okay, it may take a while.]

[darrrling]

Shhh. I promise we're friends, darling. It's all right.

[ And now we have gentle back-patting. ]

[polariity]

It wath never not all right!

[Hunching up and flushing furiously.]

I'm okay. I'm fine. I never thaid I wathn't.

[darrrling]

[ She's just gonna rub your back consolingly, babe, hope that's okay. ]

[polariity]

[Nnnnnneh.]

...I know I'm a dick, it'sth okay, I mean thomeone hath to be, I'm alright...

[darrrling]

You're really not. You're sweet and you're funny and you're very intelligent, Art, you're just a little blunt sometimes. Shhhh. I think you make a wonderful friend.

[polariity]

If you thay tho...

[Hug...ging back...?]

[darrrling]

[ MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

let the friendship hugs truly commence.

After a little bit, she pulls away so it doesn't get too awkward, still rubbing his back with one hand. ]

And you can come talk to me whenever you want, all right?

[polariity]

[Milla it is already too awkward for him, it is a bit late for that.]

I don't even know what I'd talk about.

[darrrling]

Whatever you'd like. Do you still want to try raising bees someday? I remember you talking about it when we were young...not that you ever talked much around me, you were so shy, darling!

[polariity]

[Milla, whyyyy did you have to bring that up. Art is just going to try and hide behind his computer.]

I wathn't thy, I wath jutht focuthed on other thingth.
