Theresa's Room - Papering

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Theresa's Room - Papering

Postby Theresa McMasters » Wed Oct 31, 2012 9:48 am

Theresa had mostly settled into her room, but decided it was time to put posters up. She'd propped the door open and opened the window to let the air flow through and was in the process of cursing a poster that wasn't behaving.

The other room had been very empty despite supposedly having someone assigned to it for a couple of days now. Which raised the question whether the girl who had wandered in through the open door now was her roommate.

"Do you need help with that?"

Theresa glanced over, then back to the poster. "No, I think this is the wrong place for it anyway," she said, considering the space on the wall again.

"Hmm. How so?" she asks, looking at the poster as if to try and figure out why that's the wrong spot for it.

"Too near the other posters and it's larger than the others, which just makes it look funny," she said.

She nods.

"This would be easier if you closed the window." she points out, apparently set on being helpful.

"The room was stuffy though," she said, rolling up the poster she had previously been struggling with.

There were posters for a smattering of computer games, World of Warcraft being most prominent, mixed in with an assortment of rock group posters. "Just a window into my hobbies," Theresa said. "Not exciting, I know."

"Why would something else be more exciting? There is a distinctive lack of dragons in the physical world." she jokes. It's a little flat but she's getting better at it.

While passing by, Brigid heard a familiar voice.

"Oh my God... Theresa?"

She poked her head in.
