Bio

I'm EchoicChamber, though I mostly go by Echo.
I'm in my twenties, and returned here on a whim.
I have no idea what's happening at any given moment.

@Mr Allen J I'm fine with having them know each other if you'd like. Do you have any specific inclination towards a certain kind of shared history, or nah?
Aight, I'm writing a post for Espie and Percy right now. If anyone would like to interact, still, Maddie and Dawn are both available, by the way. c:
@Mr Allen J Exactly! :D
@Mr Allen J They're nothing too large or spacious, although three roomers are a bit bigger than regular two-roomers. In the case of two roomers, it's one window in the far back center of the wall upon entrance, with the window showing a view to the outside of the school. The windows cannot be opened, as they are sealed shut.
There are two beds inside the room, placed against opposite walls with the window between them. Each bed has an accompanying nightstand. There are also a pair of desks with chairs, and a pair of drawers. There's no bathrooms in the student dorms, as they are expected to use the public restrooms instead. If y'all would like, I could whip up a map to help envision the rooms.
@Slendy Oh, Percival went back to the table where Noah's at, haha. He ran up, got the keys, then ran back.
Marcus’ joke was met with a blank stare for several long, uncomfortable moments, as Esperanza worked it out in her head. Having spent most of her life underground, surrounded by the dead and the dying, social interaction might as well have been some sort of alien language. Her brow creased in thought, before suddenly clearing as her smile returned.
“Oh. It was a joke.” Esperanza laughed, scratching her forearm. “That was very funny.”

Professor Lovette cut in before more- awkward or otherwise- could be said, and Esperanza obediently turned to listen through the duration of the speech. For the most part, the list seemed reasonable enough, and she nodded along to each point in an effort to show the professors how good she was at listening...although the darkness of the room obscured the action almost entirely. She was still nodding even after the presentation, and only came to a stop upon hearing that they would be displaying the dorm pairings. Dorm pairings! She would finally be able to meet the person she would be living with for the rest of the semester. Esperanza’s mind ran wild with possibilities- maybe they would become friends, or even the legendary best friends, and eat snacks together and stay up late when they were supposed to be sleeping and tell scary stories-

Esperanza paused. Her smile dropped, replaced by sheer confusion as she turned to her table companions.

“Helena, you do not have a roommate. Do you know why they did that?”

There were many, many names listed upon the screen. Most were paired up, as Esperanza was, and some were even in threes- but Helena held the only solo dorm. Even if they weren’t friends yet, Esp didn’t want the girl to be all alone.

@Shirochankun That's alright. Bye, Shiro! I wish you the best in your future roleplays. :)
Dead silence.

Perhaps others might have become unnerved by the quiet, unbroken stare that came from the boy seated at the table. Percival was not. He rapped his fingers on the table for a moment, popped his tongue in his mouth, and gave his new companion another once-over. “Not much of a talker, aren’t ‘cha?” He opened his mouth to say more, apparently taking this as a sign that he could keep talking uninterrupted, when one of the professors took center stage and took the liberty to introduce herself.

Professor Madison Lovette. Magical Theory. That was one face to a name, at least. Rolling his shoulders, Percival kicked his feet up and turned his attention back to his companion as soon as the announcement was over. Before he could try to speak again, the guy had started bowing and bobbing and such, introducing himself as Noah Zima and apologizing. Percival waved him off.

“It’s no problem. I mean, with a face like this,” he paused, struck a pose that was decidedly ridiculous, then went on, “I don’t think I’d be able to keep from staring, either.” He grinned broadly, running a hand through his hair and mussing it further.

“It’s a Sterling-Norrevinter thing. It’s a tradition for them to try to smash each other’s heads in as soon as they spot each other. Council kids, eh? Buncha pricks, if you ask me.” His grin widened further, and he let out a peal of almost hyena-like laughter.

“You know when they started? Wanna see how long the ol’ staff let them go at it before they got pulled off each other.” Important information. Could be the difference between an underground gambling ring and being put on dorm arrest for breathing. Not really, of course, but it was still knowledge Percival wanted his hands on.

Soon enough, the lights had been snapped off, Lovette once again taking a stand to go over the rules and dorm assignments and whatnot. Apparently his roommate would be a Mr. Toby Schippers. Schippers, like the one and only Spire Schippers. Percy’s eyes sparked with interest, and, as soon as they had been dismissed, he darted away to grab his keys before rushing back.

You could say many things about Marchand, but “dull” hadn’t even scratched the list yet.

@Slendy
@Mr Allen J Britney doesn't seem like a one note type of character to me. She's been quite enjoyable to read so far. :)

Oh, also, this sort of goes to everyone, but I noticed that a lot of people have been having their characters tell that Madison is a crossdresser or a man right off the bat, when Madison is supposed to be near indistinguishable from a woman. It's an integral part of his character, and while it isn't too big of a deal, I just wanted to point it out as it has been happening often.
@Kidd I think so, haha. I'm wanting to see what happens before I have Dawn get shot, but I could also do the post if required.
