'Oh goodness, already so many people here...'
Melody taps her bright red fingernail against the steering wheel of her hand-me-down Honda (her greatest aquirement from her stingy parents as of yet.) She turns the stereo off, realizing the high volume and thumping bass is likely echoing outside of the car as well. From there she waits, looking up at the mansion with her full attention.
Its beautiful, like nothing shes ever had the pleasure of seeing in real life before. Flowers blooming everywhere, the mansion itself jutting into the sky, reaching with its highest peaks to touch the clouds themselves.
"And there I go getting poetic again," she says to herself. Laughing as she takes a sip of reheated coffee from a red plastic cup. The most valuable thing she owns is the car shes sitting in now, and even then it dulls in comparison to the mansion before her.
She can't imagine living here, even with the terms set, she can't believe anyone would let a student anywhere near this place.
'Yet here I am' she thinks, taken away by the sheer luck of it all. Had she not found this place she would have either been stuck with her dour roommate for another dreadful year or would have bitten her tongue just long enough to ask her parents for the spare room again (hah, as if she would have ever been capable of that.) She sighs and reaches into the backseat for her coat, leaving the various duffels untouched for the moment. She knows there is all the time in the world later to unpack her bags.
For the moment she just wants to check the place out, and perhaps meet these new roommates of hers. Hoping that they are not as grim as her last.
As she locks the car on her way to the front door she begins to think of ways to introduce herself. Knowing that in this situation, of first meetings, it is best to plan things out to avoid any stuttering. But of course her plans never quite go to code, as the moment she walked in there was nobody in sight.
Thankful to skip the awkward first encounters she travels along a hallway, taking in the extroidinary details - and the size of the mansion itself. For a few moments it seems endless, until she finally stumbled down a smaller hall with most of its doors left ajar. She stops, directly in the middle of the hall, turning to face a door that sits further open than the rest of them. She smiles brightly and pushes her way in.
Its good sized, dimly lit by the dust caked window. Stuffy and as old as the rest of the house but she doesn't bother fretting about it yet. She surveys the space, wondering just how shes going to decorate once she gets the chance. For now the room seems to be occupied only by the furnishings she had sent along earlier that week, in preperation for the move. Her bed, and a desk were to be the only things in the room so she is surprised when she notices a vanity next to the door.
"Hmmm." She turns back to the door. Satisfied with finding the room so quickly. She decides to run out to her car to grab her bags, surprised that she has yet to run into any of her fellow housemates, but relieved as well that shes being given the time to do her own thing. Returning with the bags only to leave them for the most part unpacked inside her room.
'Time for some exploring.'
