One of the girls at the table, the six year old one nodded that Lucy could sit down as she continued her conversation with the giantess. Lucy set her food on the table and took three huge gulps from one of the colas which calmed her nerves and dulled the intensity of the voices. Lucy hadn't eaten since the plane ride before the boat and now she was starved.
Lucy considered taking her aviators and gloves off to eat but then thought better of it. With so many people around and the voices she was hearing her powers must be going nuts which also meant that violet swirls would be mixed in with the green of Lucy's eyes and that wasn't exactly something that she liked explaining to people. 'Oh yeah my eyes are purple cause I'm in the process of invading your mind sorry.' Not going to happen here. The gloves well, that wasn't a Pandora's Box Lucy felt like explaining to anyone... ever. The scars on her hands were a sign of a lot of things Lucy would rather forget and in a place like this where she was getting a fresh start Lucy didn't see any reason to drag that past with her.
Lucy laid into the pizza first. It was cheese in incredibly gooey. Lucy didn't eat sloppily but she ate quickly. There wasn't a reason why she should spend anymore time eating than she had to, after all there were other things that she could be doing, like getting out of here before all the minds crowding hers drove her nuts. At this thought Lucy took another swig from her pop.
Her pizza finished Lucy started to eat her pasta with very quickly. She considered weighing in on the conversation taking place in front of her but most of it was about where people came from, why they were here and such things which wasn't really something that Lucy wanted to talk about. In another moment an announcement came over the intercom advising students to move to the reception area to get there room number and dorm mates assigned. Not long after this the little girl departed no doubt for the reception area.
Lucy quickly ate three fork fulls of poutine before she gathered her bag and her skateboard and stood up. She assumed someone would deal with the dishes. "It was good to meet you," she said nodding to the giantess. "Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk more." With that Lucy left the area. She was curious to see her room and her roommate.
Having arrived a little late there was already a que when she got there. Lucy got in line trying to ignore the nervous surprise of the boy at the front of the line or the boredom emanating off of several people scattered throughout the room. It was going to be a long year. When Lucy got the front the ancient look receptionist issued her a key. "Name?" she asked none to pleasantly. "Lucy Parker."
"Ah huh, Lucy Parker... You'll be staying with Michelle Gallus dear." Lucy stood there for a second looking at the key. "Why don't you move it along, there are other people waiting." The receptionist said shooing Lucy along. Lucy rolled her eyes. "Maybe you should try being polite ever now and again miss, just because your skin looks like you've been bathing for sixty years isn't any reason to get snappy."
This garnered a shocked expression from the receptionist and Lucy quickly moved on before that could turn to anger. If the receptionist wanted to get Lucy in trouble she had her name after all.
Lucy made her way to her room and unlocked the door. There stuff must have been brought up from the boat by some of the staff cause Lucy's suitcase was laying against one of the walls. Lucy collapsed onto the bed by the window. So this was life now. Lucy wondered if she could handle it. Scaling a twenty foot rock wall free style, that was easy. School, that was were the real terror set in.
