Coming up the stairs Willow extends the handle on her suitcase at the top, rolling her luggage along the carpet, reading the names on the plaques she passes by. "Lets see, the spirits told me my room was up here. Willow.... Willow... Wi-- Ah here it is... And my roommate is..." She looks at the name above hers and frowns. "Shit, maybe I can get some decorating in before she shows up." Willow opens the door and slinks inside the dorm room, pulling in her luggage.

Grace of course has no spirits to help her out, but being able to search a pair of hallways at the same does help a lot, so it's only a few minutes after Willow's arrival that the bright and bubbly girl steps into the room as well, bringing the bright pink suitcase along. Seeing her roommate is already in she hurries in as well rather then reading who it might be.
Of course she remembers he girl from the platform, though it takes a moment to put the right name to the face, then smiles wide as she remember "Hi! Willow right? Looks like we'll be roomies!" she calls out happily, looking around the still quite bare room. "Which side of the room would you like, i dont mind really... and you were here first so it's only right you get first pick anyway..."

Willow smiles gently raising her hand gingerly in greeting. Her form was slightly slumped forward and her long stringy black hair hangs in her face, covering most of it except for a tiny sliver of her right eye and her pale skin. "Hiii, Grace... Yeah I'm Willow. Glad you made it here okay. I think I'll take the bed on the right. The spirits seem to really like that side."

She gives another bright smile, relieved she remembered the name correctly "Okay that's cool, I'll take the other one, I think it gets better light anyway in the morning... " walking over to the window and opening the drapes. "What spirits are you talking about though?" she seems mostly curious rather then worried about the news about spirits in general, it is a magic school after all, weird stuff happens
"So is it true we get money to decorate.. or can we order stuff from the school or something?"

"I don't know, I brought a few essentials from home just in case. As for the spirits, i found a few roaming around the school, they were pretty helpful helping me find this room, they know all the ins and outs of the school I guess. Also there's one that's followed me since I was born. I named him Little Steven."

"Uhm... okay... that's interesting I guess.. " trying to be openminded about things, though it's not something she can relate to really. "Yeah, the info package said we got a budget to decorate... i was thinking some pretty plants and nice drapes and a pretty coat of paint on the walls.. stuff like that.."

"Hmmm okay, I was thinking something a little darker for my side. The light puts too much glare on my computer screen, I might want to get some black curtains to block it out..." Willow looks around the room. "My pentagram rug can go here... Some plastic bats on the ceiling would be nice... A desk for my laptop, do you think they'd mind if I thumbtack some posters on the wall?"

Grace blinks a little in surprise as the other girl basically shoots everything down "I'm sure.. they'd be fine with posters.. but claiming the entire floor for your rug and saying you want to block out all the light to the room.. isn't very friendly.. it's okay you have different tastes but that kinda thing impacts me too..."

"Not the whole floor! It's actually a small rug. You can keep the curtains open when you're here, i just need to be able to do my work. Maybe I'll put some lace up to make them prettier. I'll do my best to stick to my side of the room."

Grace taps her chin thoughtfully, it's clear she and Willow had very different tastes "How about.. we get some drapes that look nice while partly open, but hold the light back well when closed? I'm sure if we get some heavier ones they don't just have to be black.. would that work?" Well aware that what Willow does over and around her own bed and desk isn't her business

"Yeah, maybe some heavy drapes. Since they're in the middle of the room.... You like purple?"

Post by Grace Felton on Sept 25, 2020 18:36:39 GMT
She looks thoughtful at the suggestion "Purple could work.. or maybe a dark dusky pink?" Trying to think of something that would look nice but trying to stay away from too bright to not clash too hard with the rest of her side

"Maybe two of the same type of curtains where one side is pink and the other one is purple and it'll look kindof like a Trix yogurt."

"Hrmm... yeah that could work, it dark enough to close it up when we need that.. but looks nice when opened.. " She then stares at what little open floor they have "Any rug would take up almost all of it though.. and pentagrams are not really.. my motif shall we say?"

"Well I'm not splitting the rug in half." Willow sits on the bed and stares at the floor.

Grace sits back on her bed as well, mostly in order to relax rather then any show of defiance "Maybe we can find common ground there too... maybe something a little more neutral like a silvery grey or something.. goes well with dark and black stuff but also with lighter things?"

Post by Willow Blacke on Sept 25, 2020 19:18:29 GMT
"Yeah, but if we get an all silver rug, won't we need more silver stuff on both sides to balance it out so it doesn't stand out as the only silver thing in the room?"
|

Post by Grace Felton on Sept 25, 2020 19:20:22 GMT
"Well it wouldn't be like bright silver... and it's on the floor so i think it would work?" she gives a little shrug, it's not like she has too much experience with decorating rooms after all

Grace smiles and nods "That way we can each decorate around our beds and desks the way we like.. but it kinda pulls everything together.. i hope"

"Now that it's decided,we'll probably need to order it." Willow crouches down and opens her suitcase pulling out a Purple comforter with spiderwebs on it and a couple black pillows, most notably one shaped like a coffin, reading "Home Sweet Home.", fixing up her mattress with these items and topping it off with a teal Cthulhu plush. Inside the main compartment of the open suitcase, there still lay spare clothes, a laptop, a wacom drawing tablet case, a gameboy advanced with a few games, a CD case and a seperate large zipup bag at the bottom.

It's mostly clothing coming out of Grace's large suitcase, she seems to have brought an outfit for any occasion, so her closet is soon pretty full, but she keeps it organized so she manages to cram a lot in. A bunch of plushies, mostly fluffy and pink join her on the bed though and some pictures go onto her desk, of her family and some of her best friends from back home.
Glancing over to see the little cthulu it makes her grin... she doesn't quite reconize it of course "Awwww that's adorable.."

Willow smiles, brushing her fingers through the felt to smooth out the lights and darks from it shifting around in her suitcase. "You think so too? That's kinda why I got him. I saw him on the front shelf of hot topic and said I Want That, and I don't regret spending like... Forty dollars on him."

Grace blinks a couple of times at that "That's... a lot of money for a plushie.. but hey, if you like it... do you like to dance?"

Willow pulls up her laptop and logs into it. the design makes it look like a black wooden ouija board with very colorful letters. "That would beeeeee..... Twenty three pounds."

Grace nods a litlte bit at that "Yeah that's really a great deal of money for a plushie.. but as i said, if it's worth it to you, all the good then"

"Also I can't really dance. All my motor functions went to my hands, so I just draw. I'd cut a rug, but it'd be with a butter knife." She laughs meekly.

Grace giggles a little bit at the rather descriptive way of saying "I can try and teach you a little if you like.. it can still be fun to do even if you're not very good at it... What kind of stuff do you draw? I'm not really good at art stuff myself..."
