(This was Rudy and Thrall's dorm. For about fifteen minutes. Then all hell broke loose. After its re-construction, the Headmaster reassigned the room to Korlian and Lhachlhass.)
This room, like all the other student dormitories, has two beds, a window, a bathroom adjoining to the next room over, a television, and a few other amenities.

Late August, a few weeks before the beginning of the year.
It's mid-afternoon, and the twins have finally gotten permission from the Headmaster that they can move their things to the slightly-nicer dorm they've been begging her for since...a long freaking time. The only real difference is that the bathroom didn't have graffiti on it and the view was over the lake rather than a wall, and the room - and Rudy swore by this - was a bit bigger. Not much, but a bit.
Rudy tossed his suitcases onto the bed, heading first for the window, because the freaking Headmaster is too cheap to keep the air conditioning running in the school. Of course, he was certain the AC in her cozy little lodge worked perfectly, but such was the cost of having Important Parents. Couldn't they at least go to vacation in Hawaii like a normal family or something?
"I want the bed closest to the bathroom," Rudy called back to his brother, throwing open the window and poking his head out. "You can have the side with the TV."

Thrall tossed a stack of clothes on the bed. He hadn't bothered to put them in suitcases, given that they were essentially moving to the other end of a hallway, and he figured it would take less time to walk back and forth than to pack things.
"Whatever," he sighed. "Let's just get this over with so we can get something interesting done before our break is over."

Rudy sighed, poking at the drab colored curtains. This really was an ugly room...
"But it's so boring here," Rudy grumbled. "The only people here are the professors and Hitoshi, since Hitomi's away on vacation in LA with those sophomore girls." Rudy grumbled a bit to himself, rummaging through his things and throwing them into their proper spots.

"So, fuck them. Let's go... I dunno... sneak into someplace or something."
He grinned. "Or off-grounds."

Rudy raised an eyebrow, glancing back at his brother. "Like where?" Rudy replied drly. "There's not that many places to sneak into here, and we'd be caught for sure. The Headmaster would kill us. Mercilessly."

Thrall walked over to the window and put a hand on Rudy's shoulder.
"Rudeth. Brother. Lemme point something out to you." He swept his hand towards the view. "You see that great big expanse of space out there? The one you just said there's only, like, a dozen people in right now, not counting us? We're seniors. We've been living in this shithole of academia for a serious portion of our lives now. We should get out! Explore the world! Test a few rules!"
"Call it extra credit." A curious little flame seemed to burn behind his eyes.

Rudy sighed. "I take it there's no way to talk you out of this, so I'll tag along."
He narrowed his eyes. "But--and this is a big condition--if I see any evidence that any of the professors or, God forbid, the Headmaster are onto us, I'm running like hell and leaving you to your own devices."

Thrall tried not to look startled. He hadn't been entirely serious... though it would be a fun idea.
"Hah. I wouldn't expect anything less."
Fuck. Now I have to figure out where we're going. "Though I guess we should go ahead and finish moving stuff in first."

Rudy smirked. "I told you that you should have suitcases," he replied. "I'm almost done."
Rudy sighed, setting up a few pictures of family and friends. Thrall was going to get them KILLED.

"Yeah, and you spent two hours packing it, too."
"Bet you I can finish first!" he shouted, before running out the door to get another load.

Rudy blinked, watching Thrall bound out the door. It took him a few seconds to comprehend what was happening. "Like hell!" he yelled, throwing his clothing out of the suitcase and hastily shoving it into the drawers, turning the previously folded clothes into large piles of crap.
Never let it be said that Rudeth Volkova was a graceful boy, but he was sure as hell determined.

Lhachlhass climbed through the open window.
"Hey, have you guys seen an ice cream truck? That mother fucker owes me an ice cream!"

At seeing this, Rudy's first response was to drop everything he was holding, which was - thankfully - nothing breakable and/or important. Unfortunately, it was rather heavy, and just barely managed to avoid Rudy's feet.
Rudy stood in silence for a moment, pondering which question was the most pertinent to ask in this situation. 'Who the hell are you'?, 'why did you just climb through my window?'and 'how did you get up here, anyway?' being among the most valid.
Rudy decided to go with probably the least logical one. "What ice cream truck?"
God damn it.

Lhachlhass looked at the boy in front of him in disbelief. "THE ice cream truck you fool!"

Rudy was dumbstruck. Who the hell was this clown and what the hell was he doing in his dorm room? Those would be the proper questions to ask...
"What the hell are you talking about?" He paused for a moment, then quickly amended, "What are you doing in my room?"

Lhachlhass rolled his eyes "I'm talking about the ice cream truck!! The one that plays the crazy song by that crazy dead German guy.. everyone knows about the tr--- " His eyes widened as a flash from the window sill he just climbed through caught his attention. "Shiny.." he muttered under his breath.

"..."
Who the hell...
Rudy didn't think he'd ever used the word "hell" so many times in his inner monologue upon meeting someone.
Rudy grabbed the crazy kid's arm, turning him around back to him. "I'm a senior here. I've been here four years. I've never heard of any freaking ice cream truck, and will you leave my window sill alone?"

"Oh yeah?! Well I've been a senior longer than you have!!" He shot back angrily. "And.. and I'm calling you out! I don't think you really are a senior or you would know about the ice cream truck!! You're a liar!!" He smirked triumphantly, he had caught that liar. "And I don't know what you're talking about, your window sill? What does that have to do with anything? You shouldn't bring up random things like that. People will think you're crazy." He said rolling his eyes.

He really, really shouldn't let this get to him. This kid was obviously a freak. The smart thing to do would be to just grab the kid by the arm and throw the bastard out of his room, probably by the same damn window he came in through. Rudy considered himself a smart person...
"What the hell are you talking about?" Rudy snapped. "You're--I'm--Gah!" He took a deep breath. Just be reasonable...be logical... "My parents are Professors Yao and Rivienne and my uncle is Professor Tristan. I've been attending this school since I was fourteen, and I've never seen you before. I don't know who the hell you are, and I know just about everyone here. My brother, Thrall is... Are you even freaking listening to me?"

At about that point, Thall ran in and dumped a massive pile of stuff on the bed. He turned on his heels and was about to run back out when he caught sight of Lhachlhass. He stood there confused for a moment.
"Man. And you said I'm not allowed to sneak guys into our room." He grinned and turned heel, thinking less about the random stranger and more to use this opportunity to win the moving contest.

"God damn it, Thrall!" Rudy groaned, grabbing his twin by the shirt and pulling him back. "This crazy kid climbed in through our window, claims he's a senior here, and is going on about some freaking ice cream truck."
Rudy turned back to said crazy kid. "Who the hell are you, anyway?"

"I am Lhachlhass, prince of Winter Court, most feared of the Fae! But that doesn't matter, where is the god damn ice cream truck?! I'm going to catch that bastard this time!!"

Thrall looked to his brother- that kind of hurt, this might be serious- then to the other guy.
Back... and forth. Back... and...
"There's an ice cream truck?" Thrall raised an eyebrow at Lhachlhass. "I didn't know we had roads."

"No, there isn't a freaking ice cream truck!" Rudy exclaimed in exasperation. "You're missing the point!"
