He smiled, and quickly pulled up youtube on the TV. He flipped it to the popular song, and pressed play.

 

George was just taking the popcorn out of the microwave when he heard a loud crash and a yelp. Poking his head out of the dormitory door, he looked and say Thalia sitting on the floor. "Oh, it's you." he said. "What are you doing on this side of the dorms?"

Pensez decided that sitting awkwardly at a rapidly-emptying lunch table was, in fact, not the best way to make friends. So he excused himself, dumped his tray, and hurried up to his dorm. Inside he found George talking to another pony.

 

"Ah, you must be the third! Pleasure to meet you. I'm Pen-" Pensez looked around the room in a daze. "Uh, George...did you do all this?"

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

He turned around and entered the dorm again. "Yes I did. Well, I didn't make it. I just bought it. I thought you might want to see a bit of what technology has to offer." He said, rather loudly over the music. "Tell me, Pensez, have you ever heard of a substance called 'tofu'?

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia stood up, angry at having made a fool of herself.

"I got locked out of my room so I was wandering around." She tried to hide the flier she was clutching as her pockets were already full. "Trying to get my bearings better, I guess." She shifted in a nervous manner and put the paper behind her back now, nodding at Pensez and feeling relieved they hadn't questioned her odd position as they were distracted by one another.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond had just finished putting away her things, So she decided she would read a little bit about Human anatomy.

 

After a few minutes of reading she noticed some rather loud music coming from... the boy's dorm. She trotted into her kitchen and tapped on the wall. "Um...Excuse me...Could you turn that down just a little bit ?" She called.

When she didn't get a response, she walked out the door of her room and towards the boy's dorm.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"Well, okay then." George shrugged. He saw Diamond coming toward the dorm. "I believe we're being invaded, gentlemen." he said over his shoulder. Then, hoping she didn't hear him, he turned toward her, grinning as the music emanated from behind him. "Hello, my dear. What brings you to our humble little room?"

[Standard User 2,127]

Tofu sounded oddly delicious - perhaps it was a delicacy on Earth? It sure sounded like it. But regardless, the odd females from before were slowly finding their way to their room. Perhaps George had some sort of magnetized charge in him that attracted those of the fairer sex. What did the begger pony- ah, yes. A "chick magnet". He made a mental note to question George about his apparent attractiveness later. For now, scary females were cornering them in the room.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"Um, Hi George...My room is right on the other side of that wall and I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind turning your music down just a little bit...I was just reading and I kinda found it distracting...I mean, It would be much appreciated if you could." She said.

"Well, okay then." George shrugged. He saw Diamond coming toward the dorm. "I believe we're being invaded, gentlemen." he said over his shoulder. Then, hoping she didn't hear him, he turned toward her, grinning as the music emanated from behind him. "Hello, my dear. What brings you to our humble little room?"

(OOC: actually shew talking to you through the wall)

"I personally like tofu, and your popcorn is ready. But this music. I do NOT like it." he looked at the remote. "volume down. Thats the noise one right?" he got up and opened his suitcase. He pulled out a book, one of the daring doo books, and began reading.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"But of course. Sorry to distract you, m'lady." he bowed, and retreated into the room to see the pony sporting a fedora turning down the music so the room wasn't shaking anymore. "Anyway.. Pensez, my dear friend. Why don't I fix up you two a couple of tofu burgers. Don't worry, there's no meat in them at all."

[Mephala 2,633]

(Edit: sorry, iPod typing takes forever. :S)

 

Thalia hid behind Diamond thankfully as Olivia came careening down the hall quite suddenly. She looked quite angry as she stormed in and shut the music off with gusto, before turning to George.

"Now you listen here, mister," she said fiercely. "I can put up with your stupid attempts at being a womanizer, and your idiotic attitude of superiority, but when you interrupt my research you are crossing a fine line." She thrust an angry pointing finger at him. "Turn that infernal claptrap down or I will happily do it for you, and my methods are not quite as nice, you hear?"

Breathing heavily, she calmed down, and seeing the slightly stunned faces realized what had happened.

"Oh. Uhm. Excuse me," she stammered, and stumbled away down the hall, promptly walking into a wall.

Not too long later, his new room mate showed up. There was a knock at the door and Magneus sprang up to open it, a tan pony with a brown mane smiled up at Magneus and he stuck out a hoof, "Nice to meet you! I'm Pound Cake" Magneus smiled and shook his hoof, "Same. My name's Magneus. You're lucky to be here, last room mate wasn't" Pound Cake gasped and backed up a little bit, "He DIED?" Magneus chuckled and shook his head. "No, he ran away. We don't know where, he should be fine though. Bed on the right is yours" he said and left for the kitchen. "You want anything?" he asked Pound Cake, "Sure, what were you planning on making?" "Probably just eggs, I already ate, but i'm normally a bottomless pit"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond smiled at George and was just about to make her way back to her room when she saw Olivia storm into his room. "Oh my." She muttered, Backing up but accidentally bumping into Thalia. "Oops, Sorry Thalia." Then she heard a loud thump at the end of the hallway, She looked over and noticed Olivia had walked into a wall.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

George took a step back, his grin faded, startled. "Woah, now, no need to get angry. We were just about to turn it off." He turned off the TV, replaced the wall panel, and tossed the unopened bag of popcorn to Pensez. "I apologize for interrupting your studies," he said to Liv, and attempted to help her to her feet.

[Mephala 2,633]

Olivia accepted his help and sighed, blushing like an idiot, mortified about her actions. "I'm sorry, I was just reading an excellent volume by a pony author on their astronomy, and that din ruined my studying." She clasped her hands and looked down sheepishly. "Smarts are all I really have, and I let my temper get the better of me if I'm interrupted." She looked up at him through the thick brown hair. "I hope you'll forgive me. I didn't say very polite things."

"Apology accepted" he said, smiling sheepishly. "Now feel free to finish your reading. We'll try to be more quiet when you're reading." He turned around and busied himself by making the tofu burgers, which he proudly presented on two paper plates. "Voila! I present to you my masterpiece!"

[Mephala 2,633]

Olivia wasn't sure what to do; she could see Thalia there, and she wanted to make it up to her. On the other hand, the next book she had was on theoretical astrophysics, her current favourite field of study. She decided to go back to the library-she didn't fit in with these kids. All they wanted was to have fun and flirt around, and that wasn't the mould she fit into.

She walked back down the hall alone. She thought coming here would be different, but it was just like her rural Saskatchewan town-full of idiots who only wanted to party.

 

Thalia apoligized to Diamond and also went off to find the room, not noticing she had dropped her paper.

"Its no problem Thalia. Well um...Im going to go back to my room." She started walking back down the hall but stopped when she noticed a piece of paper fall from Thalia's pocket. "Hey Thalia you dropped...Something." She said, looking at what was written on the paper.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Leaving his 'masterpieces' on the counter, George walked into the hall to see Diamond holding a paper of some sorts and trying to tell the retreating Thalia that she dropped something. "Really? Is it her schedule or something? You'd best give it back to her, she might need it." He frowned and strode forward to have a look.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

@@Doctor-Whooves, 

 

Diamond hid it from Georges view. "Oh no you don't mister. This is Thalia's business not yours." She took a couple steps away from George. "Sorry George." She said, running over to Thalia. "Hey Thalia, You dropped this back there." She said, holding out the note for Thalia to take.

[Mephala 2,633]

(Thalia's already gone :3)

 

Thalia wandered about searchingly, and after a few mishaps she found it at last-Room 127. They hadn't specified where it was, but after finding a few knockoffs (127A was a janitor's closet, while 127B was a men's washroom), here she was. The wing had a desolate feel of one not often used, but that made Thalia feel more safe, knowing she was alone.

 

Swallowing, she knocked on the door. No one answered after a few moments, so she did so again. After a few more futile efforts, she pushed the door open.

 

It was a large waiting area with the same empty feeling as the hallway. It had gorgeous wallpaper and softly coloured marble floors, much nicer than she had predicted. She sat down in a large, comfy armchair, waiting.

 

A door on the opposite side of the room and a woman and a pony strode out. The woman was tall and slender, and even with her grey hair emitted a dignified aura. The pony was tan with a grey mane, her eyes a deep blue with a tied roll of parchment adorning her flank.

 

Thalia stared-they made a striking pair-and the woman smiled softly.

 

"Hello, Ms. Arryn," she said kindly, and Thalia briefly wondered how she knew her name. The woman continued to talk. "I'm Ms. Stark, and this is Mayor Mare."

 

"Just call me Ms. Mare," added the pony.

 

Thalia nodded, feeling stupid in her ripped clothing and with her short, choppy hair. She smoothed it back a little and straightened her shirt.

 

"Come in the back office," invited Ms. Stark, and Thalia followed them into an airy room with ceiling to floor windows overlooking the campus. For the first time since setting foot on the campus, Thalia felt calm and strangely happy.

 

Olivia, meanwhile, was checking out a new pile of books, and she made her way back to her room, seeing Diamond calling for Thalia.

 

"What's up?" she asked, hoping Thalia was okay, and noted the paper. "What's that?"

(Derp)
 

After a few minutes of searching around the dorm Diamond gave up looking for Thalia and was just about to go back to her room when Olivia approached her.  "Oh, Hey Olivia...Its nothing...Well, Its something, But its Thalia's business and I probably shouldn't have looked at it...Aaaanyway, How did the reading go ?" She asked, Trying to change the subject.

[Mephala 2,633]

Olivia wished that she could help but if it was private, she probably shouldn't pry. She decided to humour Diamond for the moment; she could find it out later. What she didn't say was that in her stack, she had Thalia's student file. Guilty as she may feel, she had to help her.

 

"This library is crazy. They have stuff dating hundreds or thousands of years ago. I just got an ORIGINAL copy of Jung's notes on his theory of-" she stopped and laughed a little. "Sorry, I'm probably boring you. Are you going back to your dorm? I think ours are in the same wing if you wanna walk with me."

 

---

 

"Tell us a little about yourself."

"That's a loaded question."

Ms. Stark leaned forwards. "We need to know you before we can help you, Ms. Arryn."

"Just call me Thalia," Thalia said offhandedly.

Ms. Mare smiled. "All right then, Thalia. Let's start with your childhood."

"My non-existent one? I was on the streets when I was five. There's not much to remember," Thalia spat bitterly.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond smiled and nodded enthusiastically. "I would love too." She stuck the note into he saddlebag. *I gotta remember to give that too Thalia later.* She thought as her and Olivia started walking down the hall. "So...What do you have on earth that is really cool ? Im trying to figure out what Earth has that Equestria doesn't have." She smiled.

About a quater of the way through the book, Bright Spark decided to stop reading. He noticed he did not have a bookmark, so he created one with magic. A purple bookmark materialised on the page, before Bright spark closed thr book. It would dissapear when tge spell was cancelled, and then reapear in the exact same spot next time. He sat upright on the bed, yet to notice the girls had left.

"so George, tell me about yourself.
