:: Julie, in disguise as Anya Louvel, follows Kate through the hallway. The younger girl is taking a direct route, not bothering to stop and talk to anyone. ::
"So, ah... Kate... what do you do here besides study? Are you in any clubs, or anything?"
Kate: "I'm on the disciplinary committee."
:: Anya frowns at that. She'd had a few run-ins with the disciplinary committee at Balamb. People still told horror stories about Seifer Almasy and his gang. And the present committee was only slightly less uptight. ::
"That's... interesting. Any special rules at this Garden I should know about?"
Kate: "They're mostly the same. The headmistress had to invent a few more rules for magic. As long as you don't go around destroying things, you should be fine."
:: Anya laughs amicably, trying to lighten Kate's mood a bit. ::
"I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not that powerful."
:: Kate's demeanor doesn't change at all. Anya sighs. ::
((OOC - And that's your cue, Ierys. ^_^))

Ierys and Serena were walking down a random corridor, letting their feet take them somewhere aimlessly as they talked about what they were studying in english. "She should just kick both their asses and be done with them, I do not see why she follows Demetrius around pining after him, that woman has no self respect." Serena: "That as it may be - Watch out!" Ierys stops short narrowly missing a collision with Julie and Kate. "Woops, sorry." She says to Julie, she glances at Kate but says nothing to her. ((OOC: Ierys is a hypocrite You get a cookie if you can guess why.))

((OOC - Hm... wouldn't have anything to do with Clive, now, would it?))
:: Distracted by their sort-of-conversation, Anya and Kate very nearly collide with another pair of students. Kate's eyes narrow as she glares at Ierys, but despite her obvious annoyance, she remains silent. Anya, on the other hand, smiles. ::
"Hey, no problem. We should've seen you coming, too. Right?"
:: She glances at Kate out of the corner of her eye, but no support comes from the other girl. No surprises there. ::
'She really needs to loosen up...'
:: Ignoring Kate, for the moment, Anya decides to introduce herself. She holds out her hand. ::
"I'm Anya Louvel. I just transferred from Balamb for my exam."
'This whole undercover thing gets easier every time...'

((OOC: That might have a little something to do with it. . Hehe, yet another paradox, oh well, lets ignore the fact that down the hall Kate and Ierys are already arguing, shall we? )) Ierys shakes her hand and, despite obvious uncertainty, she rabbits on. "Balamb, thats great!" Serena gives her a strange look but, being that Ierys is prone to little eccentricities she generally doesnt seem to bothered. "Im Ierys, and this is Serena."

((OOC - Hey, this could be a few days later. It takes us days to play a few hours' time, so it's not too far-fetched to play different days at the same time. We used to do that even before the most recent timeline debate. )) :: Kate starts to continue along her way. :: Kate: "Anya, there'll be plenty of time for this later. The headmistress wanted you to get settled in, so we should probably-" :: Anya rolls her eyes at that. :: "Oh, come on. I don't have much to unpack. Or is talking in the hallway forbidden?" :: Kate opens her mouth to say something, but stops herself. Anya can barely hold back an amused smile - the disciplinary committee here might not be so difficult to deal with. It doesn't occur to her that it might be because she's essentially a senior member of Garden compared to Kate. Turning back to Ierys and Serena, she gives a dramatic sigh. :: "Oh, might as well do as the headmistress says. Would you two mind walking with us, then? I'd love to hear more about this Garden." :: Her last sentence was a very well-veiled jab at Kate's silence. Julie makes a silent promise to herself to try and get that girl out of her shell a bit. ::

"I don't mind talking to you. Her on the other hand," Ierys said, using her thumb to point at Kate "Well, lets just say dont expect me to sing her praises."
Serena roleds her eyes and looped her arm around Anya's. "Here we go again, these two have been at each others throats since day one. Which was actually less than a week ago."

"Wow. Uh... things move fast around here, huh?" :: Anya chuckles nervously. Honestly, she can understand why any new student would have a hard time getting along with someone on the disciplinary committee, and especially one as driven as Kate. But she can already sense that this is a new level of rivalry she had never seen in any of the other Gardens. :: :: Kate continues to lead in silence, stubbornly following the headmistress' orders despite her personal issues. It doesn't take long at all before they reach room 13A. :: Kate: "Here we are." :: Kate opens the door, revealing a room very sparsely decorated on either side. One side was done in dark colors, and very utilitarian - obviously Kate's. The other is vacant - soon to be Anya's. Anya motions toward Serena and Ierys. :: "You guys can come on in for a little bit. I just need to put a few things away." :: Kate gives a subtle glare in Ierys' direction, but says nothing. As Anya steps into the room, she gives it a quick once-over look. :: "Hm. One bathroom. Of course." Kate: "We could schedule a daily routine." :: Before she can go any further, and she obviously is about to, Anya interrupts. :: "C'mon, Kate, what kind of person schedules bathroom time?" ' People like her, of course. Seriously, we're going to have to work on that.' :: She then sighs, setting her bag on her bed and plopping down next to it. :: "... But, I guess we'll have to come up with some kind of system. Can't be that hard, right?" ((OOC - Hm, Kate's just so easy to ignore sometimes! How about that room number, huh? ))

((OOC: Lets just say, Kate and Ierys have an....Understanding. )) Ierys and Serena walk in, Serena sits on the bed and smiles at Anya warmly. Ierys on the other hand, is looking around the room, trying to find some kind of personality within all that squeeky cleam. "Ok, Kate? I know your big on the order and discipline but I really didnt expect it to be quite this.... Squeeky. Seriously Im almost afraid to touch anything" Serena laughs and leans in to shisper to Anya. "I wouldnt worry too much about these too, they hate each other, but they tolerate each other. In a way. I'm still not sure how that part happened."

((OOC - Seems that way. I've been writing her as if she's holding back to make a good impression on Anya. Not because she's new - because she's older and a more advanced student.)) "Ok, Kate? I know your big on the order and discipline but I really didnt expect it to be quite this.... Squeeky. Seriously Im almost afraid to touch anything" :: Kate's reply is simple, to the point, and surprisingly non-hostile. :: Kate: "Then don't." :: Anya whispers back to Serena. :: "Hey, I had my rivals, too. It's a little more fun to watch from the outside, isn't it?"

Ierys grins mischeviously. "Oh but now I want to do it just to annoy you."
Serena: "Makes you want to go and get popcorn really."
"What are you two whispering about?"
Serena: "Oh, nothing."

:: Kate looks as if she might have a scathing retort for Ierys, but seems to reconsider it. Instead, she rolls her eyes and gives an annoyed huff. ::
:: Anya faces Ierys with the most innocent smile ever seen on the face of the planet. ::
"Nothing at all."
:: Making up something off of the top of her head, she turns to Serena. ::
"We really should go together sometime. Ooh, we could make it a girls' night! Ierys and Kate could come along."
:: Under her breath, she whispers again. ::
"... As the entertainment."

Ierys gives a skeptical look. "Count me out, the last time we tried to do anything even remotely party-esque I ended up kicking myself out of my own dorm." She glances at Kate and almost anyone would be able to tell shes holding back some rather meaningful information.
Serena, however, is oblivious. "Oh that sounds brilliant! And this time Clive wont eat all the brownies!"

:: Anya notices Ierys is holding back, but doesn't say anything. She does, however, file it away to mention later - like when Kate isn't around. ::
:: What really catches her attention, though, is what Serena said. She drops the clothes she's been putting away and turns with a surprised look on her face. ::
"Clive?!"
:: The word is barely out of her mouth before she realizes she could have just blown her cover. Coughing once, she continues. ::
"I... knew someone named Clive. He wasn't exactly the Garden type, though. It couldn't be him."
'Especially not after what happened last time he was at this house...'

Ierys' sees Anya's sudden interest and decides it would be best to ask Clive later, but Serena just cant keep her opinions to herself.
Serena: "Oh, it might be. I'm pretty sure he's only here for Ierys seeing as hes her boyfriend."
Ierys literally stomps her foot, "He is not my boyfriend."
Serena: "Hey, I call 'em as I see 'em."

:: Anya gives Ierys a sly look, grinning broadly. ::
"Ooh, really?"
:: Kate scoffs. ::
Kate: "It's disgusting. He follows her around like a lost, love-starved puppy. And he still makes a pass at anything that moves."
:: Anya gives Kate a knowing smirk. ::
"Tried to hit on you, too, didn't he?"
:: Kate stammers a bit and turns away. Anya never knew it was possible for someone to blush angrily. ::

"Guys come on! Clive doesnt like me like that, we're just friends." Theres a veiled sense of regret in her voice, something few would pick up on.
Serena stuck her tongue out at Ierys "Yeah right! Theres something there and I know it, its just the way you two are with each other! And Im never wrong about these things."
Ierys rolls her eyes but doesnt bother to start the argument that's just around the corner.

:: Pretending to ignore the two, Anya quickly finishes unpacking. She wants to change the subject before Kate's head explodes. ::
"There! All done."
:: She looks over her still barely-decorated side of the room. ::
"Well... I might not be here long enough to make it really nice. But it'll do for now."
:: She smiles and turns to Ierys. ::
"So, did you guys still wanna show me around? I won't make you go if you don't want to, Kate. I can keep them out of trouble."
:: She gives a secretive wink to Ierys and Serena. ::

"YES!" Ierys says, practically jumping where she stands. "Anything to get Serena off this topic!"
Serena: "I resent that."

((OOC - Hope you don't mind me moving us out of the room for ya. I'm not sure when in the day this is taking place, except that it's some time after lunch. Maybe late afternoon? )) ' Yep. Serious denial.' :: Anya chuckles quietly to herself. If this Clive person is the same one she knows as Julie, he must have done something uncharacteristically right to get a nice girl like Ierys interested. :: "Alright, then. Let's get out of here. Say... when's curfew at this Garden?" :: Kate remains silent as the three girls exit the room. After a moment, she falls backwards onto her bed and lets out a long sigh. :: Kate: "Finally, some quiet."

((OOC: Do I look like I mind? wait... dont answer that, I dont want to know if your hiding in my bushes or something. HAHA! Nice?? She physically abuses him, and he loves it no doubt actually he doesnt seem to have done a thing to get her interested, hes just....Clive O.o and she likes Clive, even if she doesnt realise it )) "Curfew? Beats me, I don't think I'd stick to it even if I could remeber." Serena: "Yes, because you so love to sneak out at night." "You drag that up again and I swear Serena Ill......Ill make you eat your own shoes!" Serena laughs then looks at Ierys with a woried look. "You won't really will you?" Ierys rolls her eyes. "Oh all right, Ill make Clive eat your shoes." ((OOC: Ee-gad! I cant remember if we even mentioned a curfew. I checked back and saw nothing.))
