This is a strandard dorm, with two beds, two desks, a TV, a window, a dresser, and a bathroom adjoining to Dorm 202.

Aura unlocking the door, kicking it open and dragging her bags along and tossing them haphazardly toward the bed. She could worry about unpacking them later.
Aura stepped carefully over the mounds of clothing and stuffed animals in the floor, glancing around for her roommate. The room was cluttered rather meticulously, and Aura couldn't help but wonder what sort of person would live in a room like this.

Kazari did not at first notice the fact that the door was open-- she only took a moment to appreciate how convenient it was before dashing into the room and diving under her bed, scrambling around for a certain, half-finished plushie. She emitted an impressive string of English, Japanese, and Spanish expletives, and emerged a second or two later, holding the body of a plushie in one arm and the head to that plushie in the other. The spiky hair and wide, slanted eyes were a blatant representation of Jaebi Lyckander, and Kazari looked quite put-off to see that it had been decapitated. And that it had bite marks on the body. Who the fuck had been nomming her Jae-plush? The bite marks were large, feline in nature...
Oh. Those were her teeth. Well, not her her teeth, but furry-her teeth. Oh well. She could always use a lighter thread for the stitches that would fix the holes. At least then plushie Jaebi would have scars like real Jaebi. Yes, this would turn out to be a good thing.
Kazari smiled. She pulled a box of sewing supplies from the corner and opened it, selected a thread of proper color, and was digging around for a needle when one found her.
"Ai!" Kazari stuffed the pricked finger into her mouth and stood to go into the bathroom in search of bandaids. It was only then that she noticed the other girl in the room.
"Oh, herro," she said cheerily around her injured digit.

Aura looked up suddenly as the other girl entered. She had been about to say something, but the girl had dove under her bed before Aura could even get her mouth opened for to speak. Aura peered over the edge of her bed, watching in quiet amusement as the girl fiddled with the violently decapitated plushie. It looked like there were teeth marks on it.
Aura jumped slightly at the girl's howl, hopping off the bed. She was bleeding, it looked like.
"Hi," Aura replied, tilting her head slightly at the other girl. "You okay?" She glanced back at the plushie and smirked. "Though I guess I should be more worried about your friend. It looks like you had a pretty big dog chewing on it."

Kazari pulled her finger from her mouth and inspected the damage. Nothing too horrible. She chuckled. "Uninjured, this Kazari is," she assured. "Just a little needle, it was." She looked down at the Jae!plush. It stared up at her accusingly. "Oh, no. These teeth marks-- they are from this Kazari. Apparently, her other self thinks of Kitten fondly." Fond being, in Zarispeak, only loosely related to the dictionary definition of the word. If Gussu asked, she vowed to claim that some prankster had hidden catnip in the doll. "This Kazari will fix him up. Good as new, that she will."
Anyway. A quick glance past the other girl showed several peices of luggage. Kazari brightened. "Are you this Kazari's roommate? Aye, alone in here, for a while, this Kazari has been." If she had known of the girl's arrival, she would have cleaned up. The room was a mess... an organized mess, but a mess regardless. She turned back to the girl, holding out a hand for a shake. (The one that hadn't had a digit in her mouth.) "Baratoge Kazari. Nice to meet you, it is for this Kazari." She grinned. The girl had ears. How had she not noticed that? They were adorable! This new girl would make a glorious plushie indeed-- yet another to add to her growing collection.

Aura raised an eyebrow at the strange girl. If Aura had any concerns about being considered just as strange here as she would have been at home, they were quickly dispersed. There was nothing Aura could have done to beat her roommate. And as crazy as the girl acted, she seemed nice. And cute, too.
"I guess I am your roommate, then." Aura gripped the other girl's hand and grinned. "Aurelia Valdez," she chirped. "Most people call me 'Aura' though. I just got here from L.A."
Aura paused for a moment, glancing back down at the plushie. "You said you did that?" she asked. "Are you a werewolf or something too?"

Kazari's eyebrows rose. "Or something." She smirked. She began sewing Jae!plush's head back onto his body as she spoke. "The other form of this Kazari is a cougar. Or a mountain lion. this Kazari has heard several names for it."
A pause. "What do you turn into?"

Aura flopped on her bed, watching the girl stitch the head back onto the doll. She grinned, tapping her ears. "Raccoon, can't you tell? I'm just thankful I don't have the tail to go with it." Aura kicked off her sandals, wiggling her toes to air them out.
She was quiet for a moment. They hadn't told her much about what she was... Just because she and Jaymie were similar didn't mean that Kazari was the same. "Do you..." Aura tried to find a phrasing that wouldn't make her sound completely out of her mind. Partially out of her mind was bad enough. "Do you know where your power comes from? I mean, did it just sort of happen, or did something cause it?"

Kazari looked up at Aura from where she sat on the floor. She finished the last of the stitches on the neck, securing the doll's head, and climbed onto her own bed. She sat cross-legged, and began working on fixing the holes in the body of the plushie.
"This Kazari's power... she does not know where it comes from, or why she has it. She has always acted like a wild thing." She smiled. "Her friend Gussu went off to school-- here, in fact-- and when he was gone, this Kazari started losing control of her temper. Things happened, they did, and this Kazari's granpapa pulled her into the school he worked at. The people there told this Kazari that she was special, and to bring out what made her special, she had to give up control of her temper completely." Oh, how well she remembered that. Still, her calm expression did not waiver. "This Kazari did that. Her other self came out. She became a predator and people got hurt." Kazari explained all this in the matter-of-fact tone one would use when reading a passage from a textbook. To an inattentive listener she would probably sound bored. Then she brightened. "Then she lost her memory. Ran away to Dunehelden, this Kazari did, and found her Gussu. Then her old teacher found her, and this Kazari's memory came back." Smile. "Her teacher untrained and retrained her, and now her other form is at her control." Mostly.
((TRANSLATION: I have no idea where the hell this furry alter ego comes from, quite frankly. She comes out for hack-n-slash when I lose my cool, but that's mostly because my old teachers fucked my ass over. But it's cool-- one of 'em rewired my brain and now I don't tear people to shreds. Lulz.))

Aura listened quietly, wrapping her arms around one knee and pulling it against her chin. Kazari...didn't sound like she was exactly the same as whatever Aura was. But she'd definitely been through a lot. Aura supposed she was lucky to have the same amount of control no matter what form she was in. She didn't want to run around giving people rabies or scratching their faces off or something. It was bad enough that she kept finding other people's things in her pockets and wanting to rummage through the kitchen garbage can.
"There's some sort of crazy raccoon-spirit woman in my head and I'm pretty sure she amuses herself by harassing me," she replied dryly. "I get my powers from her, and in return she makes me look like some sort of anime character and I keep accidentally stealing things."

Kazari broke into laughter. "Oh, that sounds like an interesting dilemma!*" She took a moment to regain control of her breath and shrugged. "If, at all, it helps, this Kazari finds your ears the most adorable things she has seen in a while. Aye, she does." She stitched in the last of the holes and held the Jaebi plushie up for inspection. The stitches did look like scars. Not quite the same as the werecheetah's-- these were much more Frankenstein's monster in nature. Nonetheless, they worked.
"If an inclination to steal things, you find you have, feel free to nick a plushie or two. More, this Kazari can always make."
*((OOC: Oh my Kane, I forgot Kazari is capable of anything but roundabout articulation.))

Aura giggled, clapping a hand over her mouth when she gave a little snort.
"I get that a lot," she replied, grinning. She peered over at the pile of plushies, plucking one up by the arm. "You've actually made all of these?" she asked, slightly astounded. "Are they of real people?"

Kazari hugged the Jaebi plushie to her stomach. "Aye and aye." She nodded to the one Aura had picked up. "That one is Sir William. The Mad Hatter of Dunehelden, he is." She started pointing out some of the plushies topping the pile. There were of course many more. "And that's Aye-- it glows in the dark, like she does-- and Alex, Aramis, and Fable-- ugly little thing, aye?-- and Veronique and Ellie and Smoke and Istvan and Himmel and Diana. This one is Jaebi." She squeezed Jae!plush. "A werefeline, he is as well. And," she leaned sideways to fetch the plushie that sat in a place of honor atop her pillow, "Su-chan. A miniature of this Kazari's Gussu, he is." Her grin broadened. "One of you, this Kazari could make. No trouble, it is."

Aura grinned, poking at the tiny little hat sewn onto Sir William. There was a mound of plushies halfway to the ceiling... She must have made them for half the school. "Could you?" she asked. "That would be awesome." She wondered what a little plushie Jaymie would look like... She chuckled at the thought.
She glanced back at the little doll on Kazari's pillow. "So who's Gussu?" she asked, looking at Kazari out of the corner of her eye. She smirked. "He must be pretty special if he gets to sleep with you."

Kazari nodded. "Aye, this Kazari can. And she will."
As to the question of Gussu, Kazari's grin stretched to Cheshire proportions. "Gussu is this Kazari's Gussu," she said, with no further explanation, as if the phrase made perfect sense.

Aura gave her roommate a perplexed look, then shrugged and continued poking through the pile of plushies. She wondered if there was anyone else she recognized.
"Mierda!" Something sharp jabbed into her hand, and she jerked back, pressing her hand to her mouth. "What the hell was that?"
She didn't seem to be bleeding, though the skin was slightly torn. She rubbed the back of her hand slightly, then moved the plushies around in search of whatever had jabbed her.
Somewhere deep in the pile of Dunehelden look-a-likes, something glimmering in the light. Aura carefully pinched the flat part between her fingers, sliding it out. She held it up, tilting her head to the side.
"There was a throwing star hidden in your things," she said, handing the shuriken to the other girl.

Douv raised an eyebrow at the open door, taking a moment to listen to the voices within the room. She knocked lightly on the doorframe before peeking her head in.
"Kazari?" She held out a mass of fabric and fluff that might have, at one point, been yet another plushie. Within the stuffing were peices of burnt-looking wood and metal. Shrapnel? "Your experiment. It, ah..." Douv looked down at the plush-victim, smiled, and set it lightly at the foot of Kazari's bed. "Let's just say that mini-Jonathan did not last long in the student lounge."
Out of the corner of her eye, Douv caught sight of another girl-- the owner of the other voice she had heard, surely. She smiled. "Hello."

Aura peered at the obliterated plush-boy sprawled helplessly on Kazari's bed, tilting her head slightly to the side. She poked lightly at the hideous mass of fabric and sharp bits that was once a plushie. The one small remaining eye peered up at her pathetically. What sort of an experiment had they been doing?
She glanced over at the other girl, blinking. She was...tiny, and about ten kinds of adorable. Aura stifled the impulse to grab the girl and squeeze her like one of her roommate's plushies.
"Hey there!" Aura grinned, plopping down on the edge of the bed. "I'm Aura. Are you a friend of Kazari's?"
She looked back at the pile of shrapnel that might have once passed for a plushie. "Who's he?" she asked wryly, her lips twitching in a thin smile. "I get the impression he's not very popular."

Daridouvlyn brightened. Aura's ears were rather glorious. "I am," she said. "My name's Douv."
"That's...ah...well," Douv rubbed the toes of one foot into the floor. "There's a student here that... What was it Nina said, Kazari? He... oh, I think it was 'likes to play badass when in fact no one sees him as anything more than an annoyance, and an insubstantial one at that." Douv smirked. "Kazari made a few plushies of him and left them in random locations around the school. So far, the one left in the student lounge has suffered the most damage. Unless you count the one left in the library. Fable set it on fire and flushed the ashes down a toilet."

Aura clapped her hands over her mouth and snorted. "Impressive," she replied. "What's a person have to do to be that hated around here? I mean, that blond teacher threw snowballs at me and attacked our van, and people seem to like him." She grinned.
