Room 910: Mia Calnote & Natalie Benson

[Emily!]

Room 910 is a slightly above average sized room at the far corner of Einstein hall.

[Mia Calnote]

Mia walked back from the library, exhausted from studying her head off. Oh well, at least she was done early so she'd have time to take a power nap and maybe go around and socialize. She walked into her dorm and looked around for signs of her roommate, whom she hadn't really seen much of. Mia had been really busy, only coming in to change, pick up something, or sleep. She needed to work hard if she wanted to get into a good college, and slacking off freshmen year would create a habit. Mia collapsed on her bed, completely burnt out. Hopefully she'd be to tired to unconsciously wander into someone's dream. Mia made a face as she remembered the dream she had been in last night, some boy somewhere in Oceanside really wanted to explore with Dora. Creepy.

Mia wondered if her sister had made up with Tobias already, hopefully she had. Before she could begin worrying, Mia's eyes were too heavy to keep open and she drifted off for some time.

[Natalie 'Nova' Benson]

Natalie made her way to the top of the Residence building for students with Mental Powers. She lugged her bags to the end of the hallway until she finally found her room: Room 910. Sighing as she released one of her bags, Natalie pulled out the key she had been given and unlocked the door, pushing it open.
As soon as the door swung open and hit the wall with a soft thud, she saw that there was already someone else in the room, and she was sleeping. She tried to sneak into the room without waking the girl, hoping to get her things put away quickly and quietly.

[Mia Calnote]

Since Mia was a light sleeper, she awoke with a start when she heard someone lugging something heavy and coming through the door. She saw it was only a girl carrying her luggage, moving in now? Sort of late.
She straightened her self out and smiled,"Hi there, you must be Natalie, right?", she asked, pointing to the plaque on the door,"I'm Mia Calnote", she introduced herself.

[Natalie 'Nova' Benson]

"Yeah," Natalie said, a bit surprised that she would know her name. But then she saw the plaque. "That makes you Mia?" she asked. Natalie set her bags down and held out her hand do shake. She hoped Mia wasn't a bitch; Natalie didn't know how easy it was to switch rooms at this school, but she'd rather not go through the trouble of doing so.

[Mia Calnote]

She nodded and shook the girl's hand,"So, what brings you to Oceanside?", she asked, indirectly asking about what this girl's power was. She was in Einstein so it was something mental, Mia just hoped it wasn't telepathy. Telepaths were the reason she stayed out of her common room, she'd rather not have someone know everything she was thinking. This girl seemed nice so far, hopefully she would be. Rooming with someone bitchy would be a nightmare.

[Natalie 'Nova' Benson]

"It's nice to meet you, Mia," she said. "You can call me Nova, you know, if you feel like it." Natalie liked the nickname she had given herself, but saying it out loud for the first time was a bit awkward. She cocked her head to the side when Mia asked her why she had come to Oceanside. It seemed pretty obvious to Nova, but she said anyway, "I have superpowers."

[Mia Calnote]

"Same goes for you. You can call me...Mia", she replied with a laugh, her name was already short. And only her relatives or Sarah rarely called her Lynn. "Oh well, yeah, I mean obviously, you're here. I meant what's your power?", she inquired,"You don't have to tell me I was just wondering", she added quickly, because some people weren't comfortable answering that question for some reason.

[Natalie 'Nova' Benson]

"Oh," Nova laughed. "I misunderstood. I can create explosions," she told Mia. "What about you?" She'd never really known what other powers were out there, so she was curious to hear what her roommate could do. Natalie wondered how many people at this school could do what she could do, or was she the only one?

[Mia Calnote]

"Oh, that sounds really cool", she replied with a grin. Seriously, create explosions with your mind? F yeah. "Me? Well, I can do a couple things: tamper with memories, go into dreams, while I'm unconscious, and move stuff with my mind, telekinesis", she replied. It was so cool how people could just talk about these things normally here, sure back home she had her parents and Sarah but they didn't really get it. And Lyra was usually away except for breaks.

[Natalie 'Nova' Benson]

"Sweet," Nova said, sitting down on the bed across from her. "Can you choose what you do in people's dreams?" she asked, wanting to know more. Mia's power sounded really cool, though Nova was a bit worried that Mia could just go into her dreams at any time.

[Mia Calnote]

"Right now, it's really spazzy. I can go into people's dreams and all, but it's usually involuntary. Once I'm in the dream, I can change what's around me and talk to the people inside of the dream. But the changes aren't like, get rid of gravity changes, they're like we were in a jungle now we're on a boat. Basically just changes of the setting and such", she fiddle with the ends of her hair, not really sure how to explain her power.

She'd have random outbursts of being able to control everything, but usually she'd just go with it and wait to wake up, or float into someone else's subconscious,"Now it's the only way I can dream", she added, it kind of sucked, not being able to have your own dreams only being able to alter others'. "Hopefully, I'll be able to tap into my power and control it better. That's what we're here for right?", Mia smiled,"What about you how does awesomely exploding things in your mind work?", she asked, much more intrigued by her power than she was of her own. Mia was really glad that her roommate wasn't a telepath, she didn't need people in her head when she was awake too.
