[quote][color=Gold]“Yeah, I guess it’s not much to look at,”[/color] Dana agreed when Penny noted the somewhat ugly aesthetic of the city. [color=Gold]“But, when ya think about it, it’s really the people [i]inside[/i] the buildings that count,”[/color] she added with a grin.[/quote]
[color=39b54a]"You're hopelessly cheerful, aren't you?"[/color] Penny muses. [color=39b54a]"Eh, as long as they have a decent pizza joint in town, I'm fine with it."[/color]

[quote]Dana’s cheerful exuberance returned, when she learned that she would be sharing a room with Penny. [color=Gold]“Awesome! Put ‘er there, roomie!”[/color] she said, while holding her hand up for a high five. [color=Gold]“Or, uh, maybe we should just gently fist bump…”[/color] she added, remembering the bespectacled girl’s numerous injuries. [color=Gold]“And don’t worry, there’s no one else I’d rather be stuck with! I think we’re gonna get along just great!”[/color][/quote]
Penny rolls her eyes.

[color=39b54a]"I'm not crippled, Dana, just wounded,"[/color] she says, but returns the fist-bump with a smile. [color=39b54a]"And thanks for the vote of confidence, I'm looking forwards to rooming with you too!"[/color]

[quote]Her happy grin spreading from ear to ear, Dana listened as Penny “warned” her about a few things.

[color=Gold]“Hey, that’s fine!”[/color] Dana reassured Penny after the later said she might be taking some extra long baths. [color=Gold]“I totally understand! I like my showers nice and refreshingly chilly, so it’s no problem if ya use up all the hot water. I don’t think I snore [i]too[/i] loudly,”[/color] she added. [color=Gold]“At least, not as loudly as an industrial drill! I’m pretty neat myself, but if I don’t meet your standards, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Oh, and I can sleep through pretty much anything, so don’t worry about that! Feel free to crank up your study music as loud as ya like!”[/color]

[color=Gold]“I’d love to know the kinds of games and music ya like, and all sorts of other stuff, but I’m sure we’ll have plenty of time to talk about that later. Right now, we should probably hit the sack,”[/color] she advised, pointing her thumb at the bed closest to her. [color=Gold]“After all, it’s gonna be a big day tomorrow!”[/color][/quote]
[color=39b54a]"You [i]are[/i] an eternal optimist, aren't you?"[/color] chortles Penny. [color=39b54a]"Though we're going to have to leave the games and music for later. Right now, I just wanna lay down and sleep like the dead. It's been a long day, it's really late, and I think I've been up most of the way from Ciscia."[/color]

She tiredly gets changed into shorts and a tank top, sets her PDA's alarm, then flops onto the lower bunk in a way that wouldn't hurt her arm.

[color=39b54a]"'Night, Dana,"[/color] she says. [color=39b54a]"Sweet dreams..."[/color]
