This is a typical dorm, with light gray walls, one window, two beds, two desks, one television, and a bathroom adjoining to Dorm 200. They may decorate it in any temporary manner they like, such as posters and pictures and things.

Rebeka walks into the room that she was told she would be sharing with someone and promptly chooses which bed will be hers and then proceeds to rip it apart and throw the pieces out the window and into a conveniently place trash can. She does this till the bed is nothing more than what would appear to be a human sized cat bed.
She then heads outside for her daily exercise and magic building.

The door opens with a resounding creak, as Tala enters her new bedroom. One look at her roommate's bed convinces her that this is going to be even worse than she originally thought. What kind of person would maul their bed like that? A wild animal? After standing in the doorway staring at her roommate's bed in shocked awe for about five minutes, Tala dumps her stuff on the opposite bed and quickly exits the room.

Rebeka enters and notes the stuff still sitting on the floor then heads over to her bed and after turning around 3 or 5 times lies down and snuggles in for a nap.

Tala walks over to her roomate's bed and puts a note on her bed. It said, meet me here at ten p.m. I need to talk to you.

Rebeka being a light sleeper had been awake sense Tala walked in. As Tala was about to put the note down Rebeka sat up. "Hello there. I guess you are my room mate? I am Rebeka. Nice to meet you."

Tala smiled at Rebeka and extended her hand. "I'm Tala. Nice to meet you." Tala hesitated, then asked, "I know it's kind of forward of me to ask you this, having only just met you, but, what are you doing here at Dunehelden Acedemy?"

Rebeka looks rather oddly at Tala's out stretched hand turning her head this way and that (not knowing what a handshake is). "I am here to learn. My father is hoping that someone here can help me. He wasn't able to and he didn't know of anyone that might be more capable than some of the teachers here. I had a little bit of misfortune and it has left me with something like a curse. What about you? Why are you here?"
Rebeka stands up and moves over to the window to sit down.

"I really don't know. A couple months ago I got this weird feeling that the normal public school i was going to, wasn't where i was meant to be. Then i learned about this place and i consulted my gui-Tala stopped herself and backtracked-I just thought this school would be better for me." Tala decided now would be a good time to shift the topic of conversation back to her roomate. "What curse afflicts you," Tala inquired. She changed positions so that her legs were folded under her.

Rebeka stands up and starts walking around the room on her hands. "Oh, it isn't exactly a curse. If it were that simple my father could have fixed it. I just screwed up while casting a spell and now my magic is . . . well, not gone but not available to me. You see I was a mage but like I said I can't control my magic any more. It does still seem to give me a very large amount of energy. I can't hardly stand to sit still for long."

Tala laughed as she watched Rebeka doing her acrobatics. "I can tell." There was an awkward silence. Then Tala asked, "what do you know about the history of Dunehelden?"

"Not, much. I know that Veronique started it and that she is the one that has recruited just about everyone that is here students and teachers alike. You? All I know is my father seems to think that someone here, most likely professor Yaodensi Volkova, can help me with my dilemma." As Rebeka pushes off the floor doing a back handspring from the handstand.

"I know near to nothing. Do you know where i can find out more about the Academy?"

Rebeka shrugs. "Might try the library or just asking Veronique or one of the other professors."
Rebeka rights herself and pushes her hands into her pockets. "Do you mind if I ask what you like to do for fun?"

Tala decides to talk to the headmistress later. "I don't know...i'm up for just about anything."

Rebeka smiles. "I love swordplay. It is so much fun. I wish that I had one of my own. A sword that is. I also like to read knowledge is just such a helpful thing. Especially towards being prepared for what ever is coming."

Tala smiles in return. "I love books. They really are extremly useful. I have never tried using swords, though. Will you show me how?"

Rebeka grins. "Of course I'll show you how to use a sword. I never miss a chance to show off with them. I think they have a fencing area in the gym as well as a sort of obstacle course set up for the more dangerous things people practice. Just let me know when."

"Okay. I will. Thanks." Tala smiled at Rebeka in thanks and sat on her bed. Tala leaned over the edge of the bed and pull out a small box which appeared to be carved out of cherry wood. Tala opened the box and produced a deck of cards with detailed, mystic pictures on them.

Rebeka sits on the window sill and starts swinging her legs looking back at the cards "My dad had a set like those. He didn't use them too often he tended to favor some of the others he had."
She rolls back off the window sill. "I think they were some of his lest potent cards. But occasionally I think they just called him, and so he would make a reading or two."
The room is getting a little small for Rebeka as she drops down and starts doing push ups on the ground. "I was never one for the fortune telling though it was always interesting to hear what my dad would say about them. I just always preferred the physical enhancements. Though my dad wouldn't teach me the necrotic ones. I am not sure why. I have heard they are much more potent."
Rebeka sits down on the floor in front of Tala "Want to try to predict something with those for me?". Rebeka pushes her body up still sitting cross legged and starts swinging gently.

"Sure. What kind of reading do you want me to do?"

Rebeka thinks for a minute "OH, OH, I know the opening ceremony is going on soon. See if there will be anything exciting!! Unless you have something else you would like to do. I know sometimes they just kinda tell YOU what is going on rather than the other way around."

"No, it's fine. I'll ask. But you'll have to help me interpret it, because tarot cards can be rather confusing at times." As Tala pored over the cards she reached for her inner knowledge, whatever that meant. She let her hand hover over the cards all fanned out in a neat row. Her hand moved slowly across each individual card. Tala's eyes were closed and her brow was wrinkled in deep concentration. After a couple minutes she picked up a card and laid it out in front of her. (((sorry i can't complete the reading scene until i get home and get a chance to look at my actual tarot cards as a reference.)))

Rebeka swings herself on her hands back and forth a few times and then up into a handstand and pays attention to what cards get turned over.

Tala picks out the first card. Then the second. Then the third. She flips the first card.
