Rooming Here At Blanditia (Tag: Anyone Wanting to be Belle's Roommate)

After drama class, Belle glanced down at her key. She might as well see the rooms. She had some time to spare before meeting Esmeralda, Chel and Tink in the gardens. Her feet were beginning to hurt, so to rest would be nice. Her plan originally was to soak her feet in the restroom, but Poseidon forbid her tail forming. She heard the satisfying click as she entered. Taking a breath, Belle flopped down on the closest bed. The sheets were soft to the touch, unlike the kelp blankets at home or the itchy wool from the various inns she hid in. Another bed was untouched; clearly her roommate hadn;t arrived. But to be polite, Belle held the open to say hello to anyone passing by.

((Hope you don't mind Jasmine popping in! I just thought I'd reply since nobody had yet. ))

Jasmine was surprised she was actually getting a roommate this year. In the past, she had usually roomed alone. Not that she was complaining. Having a roommate might actually be fun. Imagine all the slumber parties and painting of toenails that was sure to happen. Jasmine smiled just thinking about it as she walked inside. To her delight, she saw that her roommate happened to be Belle. "Hiya Belle!" she said eagerly. "Looks like we're roomies this year." She grinned.

((Yay! I was hoping someone would!))
"Jasmine!" Belle beamed with happiness. She was grateful to have someone she really liked be her roommates, Esmeralda and Chel were good friends, but since they both roomed together. Belle decided to let it go. She wondered what 'slukmber parties' would be like on land; under te water, it was always the same old talking about sailors. But this would be much more fun. "Thank Poseidon you're my roommate!"

((I can invite Ariellia and see if she wants to join. I think she, Belle, and Jasmine would be an awesome threesome. ))

Jasmine had to laugh at her expression. "Thank Poseidon? Maybe I should start using that. Could be a head-turner at parties." She plopped down on an empty bed. "I've never roomed with anyone before. This is gonna be so cool!" She practically bounced up and down with excitement.

((Totally. A shapeshifter, a vampire and a Nereid all in the same room, LOL))

"I'd rather share a room with one person than with fifty. In the ocean, all my fifty sisters and I were trapped all in one. So many needless arguments." She flopped on the bed, her hair fanning out.

((Sweet! I'll send her a message.))

"Fifty sisters?" Jasmine's eyes widened. "Dang. Your parents must have been busy." Then again, sea creatures were bit different from those up on land. Maybe they populated things a bit faster. "Well, I'm sure we'll be fine here. These rooms are pretty spacious."

"They are," Belle agreed. "And more comfortable. I forgot how nice sleeping in these material was. It's not like the kelp back home or the wool I've been forced to sleep with over the years," she shuddered to think of sleeping in that trash again.

Knocking on the door, Ariel poked her head inside "Hello?' she said at first before opening the door completely. Walking inside she notice both Jasmine and Belle "Oh hi." she breathed out a chuckle, waving at them

"Come on in, Ariel," Belle nodded, her smile widening.

"Kelp? That sounds a bit weird," Jasmine said, making a face. "Then again, I've slept in caves sometimes. Not the most pleasant thing in world, but I guess when you're a lion, comfort doesn't matter so much." She had been out and about on the plains as a lion before, and had had to take shelter as a regular lion would. She had been dubious about sleeping on a stone floor before, but as a lion, it wasn't such a big deal. She turned her head when she heard the door open. She smiled when she saw that it was Ariel. And it looked like she would be rooming with them. "Hi Ariel," she said cheerfully, waving. "Wow, the three of us together in one room. We're gonna have so much fun."

((And now, I'm off to bed. Good night!))

((I'm hitting the hay too. Continue another time!!))

a Vampire, a Lion shapeshifter, and a Nereid could be even weirder. Ariel could have been stuck with girls who hated her, least she talked to them a little in class even if she hasn't been feeding for days now "Yeah this will be great we can throw a party every night." she laughed.

"I know, right?" Belle giggled. This was unusual for her often reserved demeanor; whenever Ariel was around, she could be happy. It would interrupt her tutoring sessions, but a little partying would be a nice break for her studying.

Jasmine had to smile at Ariel and Belle's enthusiasm. It seemed like they were on board for having fun this year, which was always a good thing in Jasmine's book. "So, what do you guys think of the place so far?" she asked, laying down on her bed while propping up head on her hand. "You like it? Or kind of hoping that Christmas break comes quickly?" She laughed.

"It's fantastic here," Belle sighed dreamily, flopping up so she was looking at the crystal light fixture in the center of the room. "I'm sure Christmas will make the place all the more magical."

"Hmm, that is a good point," Jasmine acknowledged. Christmas at a supernatural castle was sure to be different from Christmas celebrations back home. Then again, Italy in general probably celebrated Christmas different from Kenya. But it still sounded exciting to Jasmine.

Ariel shrugged her shoulders "it's nothing to me I live here." and what was true this was her home and any other Von Claret to help made it

"I take it you're used to the customs," Belle said with a nod to Ariel. Being from the Mediterranean Sea, Belle was well aware of some of the customs...or at least, things could have changed.

"Yes i am." she laughed rubbing the back of her neck before looking at Jasmine and Belle "I know mom will be hosting a winter's ball or something like that." she said not remembering if Athena said that or not.

"I must;ve missed that part," Belle gushed. "The idea of a winter ball sounds fantastic." She had meant to talk to Ariel about getting permission to start a tutoring program; no payments, just the joy of helping others, but decided against it; seemed caddy to ask.

"Ooo, a ball? Now that sounds like fun." Jasmine loved parties. Any opportunity to just dance, let loose, and have fun was a good idea on her book. "I wonder if we'll all manage to find dates. Seems like most of the boys here a bit...introverted, if you know what I mean."

"Tell me about it," Belle scoffed. "I'm more afraid f what happens if I end up talking to one who is also the eye of a powerful witch or a Fae. One wrong move and," she drew a line across her throat.

Jasmine laughed, which was a typical reaction of hers when talking about anything dangerous. "They won't get me without a fight. One dirty look from them and it's claws and pouncing all the way." Shifting into a lion was usually all it took to send potential threats running, but she didn't mind those who still wanted to duke it out. She enjoyed a challenge.

"At least you can whip our your powers anytime," Belle pointed out. 'I'm lucky if I have an encounter in the canteen or the gardens or even the bathrooms. There I least can manuever with water."
