As soon as Sohco touched down on the academy grounds, Kataari literally leaped out of his arms and danced like a complete moron, laughing and making Sohco laugh too. <span style='color:purple'>"This is my most recent home. I love it here and I've only been here one day!"</span> she said laughing more. <span style='color:purple'>"Come on, my room is on the first level. Leah may seem a little odd at times, but she's so nice and one of the best friends I've ever had." </span> Sohco looked hurt then grinned. <span style='color:gray'>"All right, let's go see Leah."</span> <span style='color:purple'>"Oh, and by the way... Leah's a... a vamp. And she has this weird power, when she touches your shoulder she can see some of the worst memories you'd like to forget."</span>
Hali was confused. <span style='color:red'>"Who's Empebep-- however you say her name?"</span> <span style='color:purple'>"She's a writer, a translator, oh yeah and an outcast."</span> Hali raised an eye brow. <span style='color:red'>"And where would this outcast live?"</span> She asked. <span style='color:purple'>"The Terhesian Port, Bhim"</span> Hali's eyes widened. <span style='color:red'>"Ohmigod! That is sooo cool! She lives near the black market?! Whoa."</span> Leah had to laugh, Hali's child-like innocence was refreshing. <span style='color:purple'>"Yeah it's a bit far but she could try to come over here if i called her. She doesn't have a nine to five job like most."</span> She said before Hali could ask anymore questions. She picked up a small black phone with silver flames on it and dialed a number. She held it to her ear and waited. A few seconds later she began to talk. <span style='color:purple'>"Hello?...Yes....I'd like to speak to Empebepoul azsju-sajjatsjeul....first floor apartment 13....Thank you."</span> She waited a few more seconds and then began to speak in rapid ramathian. She was still talking when Katarri and Socho entered the dorm a while later.
Kataari walked in to her dorm leading Sohco by the hand. <span style='color:purple'>"Come on, she won't bite you, I promise. She only eats Haroks, and the cooks here have PLENTY of them."</span> Sohco glanced around the room. There were a few scrolls scattered on the floor, the windows were boarded up, and there was a girl talking on the phone in Ramathian with her bangs in her eyes sitting on one of the beds. <span style='color:gray'>All the comforts of home in a dreary place you wouldn't want to live in</span>, his inner voice said. <span style='color:gray'>Shut up</span>, he told the voice. <span style='color:gray'>Look where I'm living now.</span> Kataari poked Hali and said, <span style='color:purple'>"Who's she talking to?"</span> OOC: so sorry for the crappy post but right arm is sore and right brain is dead.
Hali turned to look at Katarri and Socho. Then she whipered <span style='color:red'>"One of her friends...Em something-or-other. I can't say her name, but she lives in Bhim, near the black market! Isn't that so cool?"</span> Hali still couldn't get over the fact that Leah knew someone that lived in the black market. <span style='color:red'>Near the black market</span> She corrected herself. <span style='color:red'>"What she's talking about I have no idea, I didn't pay attention when my parents gave me and Malak a ramathian tutor so I'm just as lost as you are."</span> Leah put down the phone and smiled. <span style='color:purple'>"Em is coming over. I dunno how long it'll take her, a while though she has to mail some stuff out and then she'll fly over just beacuse it's faster than driving and stuff.</span> Leah got up and walked across the room to her dresser. She picked up her hair brush and began to brush the knots in her ebony hair out. When she got to her bangs she closed her eyes.
<span style='color:purple'>"That's so cool that your friend is coming. By the way, Leah, this is Sohco. Sohco, Leah. Why do you have your eyes closed? I told you they're probably really pretty. Even with your... umm... history."</span> Sohco looked at Leah. She seemed kind of young. <span style='color:gray'>"Hey, how old is she?"</span> He asked Kat. <span style='color:purple'>"Around 8,000 is what she told me." </span> <span style='color:gray'>"Nice to meet you, Leah."</span> He held out his hand.
Leah let out a harsh laugh at Socho's thought. <span style='color:purple'>"I'm a hell of a lot older than you think."</span> She said as she held out a hand. She opened her eyes revealing her eyes and spider-like pupils. <span style='color:purple'>"Do you still think my eyes are pretty?"</span> She asked, her voice taking on a spooky darkness that completed the haunted house effect of the dorm.
Kataari's face went pale, all the colour drained from her face. <span style='color:purple'>"I'm s-s-sorry."</span> Sohco knew what her pale face meant. He caught her just as she passed out. He could almost hear Hali mumble <span style='color:red'>"not again."</span> He put Kat on her bed and pulled the blankets around her. <span style='color:gray'>"I'm not sure if you know this, but she's afraid of a lot of things. Spiders especially. She had a rough day. We'll wake her up when your friend comes, OK?"</span>
<span style='color:red'>"not again,"</span> Hali muttered as Katarri passed out. <span style='color:red'>"Y'know you really should have warned them."</span> She scolded. <span style='color:purple'>"Yes but if i had warned them they would have looked away and then they'd never figure it out and I really don't feel like coming up with excuses."</span> She shot back. They continued to argue until there was a tap at the door almost an hour later.
Sohco took turns watching Kataari and watching the argument. He was getting a little bored so when there was a knock at the door he almost exclaimed "YES!" but he restrained himself. He wondered if Hali and Leah were gonna stop fighting long enough to answer the door. They didn't. So he opened the door. There stood a.... well, he could call her a Kosa or a Lukuo. She was gray with blue markings, and her hair was longer than Kataari's. <span style='color:gray'>"Hi, I'm Sohco. Your friend's roommate's boyfriend."</span>
Empebepoul nodded. <span style='color:#FF0080'>"Lee said something about a roommate,"</span> She said extending a hand. She peered over her shoulder. <span style='color:#FF0080'>"Okay i don't know who started it, but Hali put that blasted fireball away and Leah quit the swearing, you're going to break my ears."</span> As soon as that had been said both of the thills quieted down. Hali immeadiatly began to ask questions. <span style='color:red'>"Do you really live in Bhim? Do you go to the black market? Do you sell stuff? How 'bout buy stuff do you do that? What's your apartment look like?"</span> Em held up a hand to silence her. She turned to Leah <span style='color:#FF0080'>"Please tell me she's not your roommate and get your hair out of your eyes, it's nice to see where your going."</span> <span style='color:purple'>"Nope she's not my roommate, my roomate is on the bed over there, this one,"</span> She pointed at Hali <span style='color:purple'> "knocked her unconsious with poison so good luck,"</span> Em stepped into the dorm. <span style='color:#FF0080'>Py iyo huba sha tkjegsoja E utcap vyj?"</span> She asked. <span style='color:purple'>"Iauh es't em sha klytas tynafhaja."</span> Leah answered.
Sohco stepped over to Kataari and gently shook her. <span style='color:gray'>"Arri?"</span> Kataari suddenly woke up screaming. Sohco sat on the bed and said <span style='color:gray'>"Arri it's all right, you're awake." </span>He held Kataari as she silently cried into his shirt and looked at Leah's friend. <span style='color:gray'>"Yeah, this happens a lot. Don't worry about her she'll be fine. Ummm... what's your name again?"</span> <span style='color:purple'>"Does she have scary eyes?" </span>Kataari whimpered. Sohco smiled and said <span style='color:gray'>"No she's normal."</span> She pulled her face away from his shirt and glanced at the thill who had just walked in. <span style='color:purple'>"Hi I'm Kataari."</span>
<span style='color:#FF0080'>"Okaaay...Hi...Y'know Lee I don't know which I like less,"</span> Leehara cringed. <span style='color:purple'>"excuse Em, she's a bit unkind at the worst of times,"</span> She said. <span style='color:#FF0080'>"Unkind my ass, I'm just blunt."</span> Leah rolled her spiery eyes. <span style='color:purple'>"sure that explains everything"</span> <span style='color:#FF0080'>"ev iyo cmyf fhus't dyyp vyj iyo iyo'll thos og myf"</span> Em growled. <span style='color:purple'>"Toes iyojtalv"</span> Leah said, shrugging.
Kataari's eyes narrowed at the visitor's comment. <span style='color:purple'>"Fucking bitch,"</span> she swore under her breath. Sohco's eyebrows rose at that comment, so far they almost dissapeared into his hair. He could tell this was going to be good. Kat never swore. <span style='color:purple'>"Look, I said nothing that would make you not like me. It's just that Leah showed me her eyes... and, well, I guess I passed out. But it happens a lot. And Sohco just said that you were normal. I'd LOVE to be called normal-"</span> Sohco cut her off. <span style='color:gray'>"Arri, you're normal."</span> he smirked. Kataari gave him a death glare <span style='color:purple'>"not the time. anyway, I'd love to be called normal, but I pass out all the time and people think I'm a bitch cuz I'm shy and don't talk to people very easily. Leah, I know I said I'd like to meet your friends but..."</span> she flipped off the visitor and stormed out of the room. Sohco sat there a few minutes then said <span style='color:gray'>"so I guess I'm going after her?"</span>
Em had a smart remark, as always, but this time she held her tounge. She was however when Hali said exactly what she was thinking. <span style='color:red'>"Um...Duh? She is your girlfriend it would be a good idea if you went after her,"</span> Hali said, rolling her eyes. <FONT COLOR="#7F007F">W</FONT><FONT COLOR="#870078">h</FONT><FONT COLOR="#8E0070">a</FONT><FONT COLOR="#960069">t</FONT><FONT COLOR="#9D0061"> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#A5005A">i</FONT><FONT COLOR="#AC0052">s</FONT><FONT COLOR="#B4004B"> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#BB0043">i</FONT><FONT COLOR="#C3003C">t</FONT><FONT COLOR="#CA0034"> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#D2002D">w</FONT><FONT COLOR="#D90025">i</FONT><FONT COLOR="#E1001E">t</FONT><FONT COLOR="#E80016">h</FONT><FONT COLOR="#F0000F"> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#F70007">'</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">d</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">r</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF000F">a</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF001E">g</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF002D">o</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF003C">n</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF004B">s</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF005A"> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0069">t</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0078">h</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0087">e</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF0096">s</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00A5">e</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00B4"> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00C3">d</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00D2">a</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00E1">y</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00F0">s</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF00FF">?</FONT></FONT> They all thought. The thought was so prominent it seemed to hang in the air, like it was something that could be touched.
She didn't know where she was going to go but she didn't care. But she had to be careful, if she got too angry she could.... <span style='color:purple'>"Oh sh...."</span> she didn't have time to complete her expletive because she passed out again, cracking her head on the floor and starting to bleed. Sohco walked slowly out of the dorm. <span style='color:gray'>Jeez.....</span> Suddenly he got a feeling that something was wrong. He sped up and saw Kataari lying on the floor unconsious, a puddle of blood slowly growing larger. <span style='color:gray'>"Oh god.... Help! Someone help!" </span> OOC: Sohco took Kataari to the hospital and she's ok now... She and Em are friends now... and Kat and Lee are ok now and Kat's not really afraid of spiders anymore.
