Greg shambles into the common room, practically a zombie with large bags hanging down his eyes. Greg was quite the morning person (the early Pidgeotto gets the Magikarp), but after that long night of 'fishing' the young boy had a lot to think about, and had trouble getting to sleep as a result of it. Luckily Greg was awake enough to put on a shirt and pants, as casually and messy as he looked at the moment.
Greg rubbed his eyes and groaned, slowly phasing back into wakefulness as he picked up pieces and bits of the conversation. “So, wait, are we, like, getting an intern or something? Wouldn’t it be their job to wake up this early, then?” Greg said, clearly mishearing something.

As the two boys join the group, the conversation stops so everyone can hear them.
“Check your pokedexes.” Xander says gruffly.
“I can’t believe it didn’t wake you guys up.” Jay laughs, leaning harder against the back of the couch.
When Greg and Zo check their Pokedexes, they can see they’ve been sent two messages from the school.

Zo frowns a bit in confusion. "Can't believe it either. I'm usually a rather light sleeper... Odd..."
He mulls over the messages as he sips his coffee. Curious to see what the assembly will be about, though I rather doubt it'll be anything too exciting. As for this new guy, getting in after the year has already begun, sounds... shady ... though I suppose I can't really throw stones here... Still, might be something to watch out for.
"So we're getting a new dorm mate then... interesting. Suppose he'll be bunking with Gregory then?"

Blinked once, a small smile forming over his face as he read. "Awesome, new dorm mate, and a new roommate, can't wait to meet the dude. Hopefully he's cool, ahh I'm sure he will be." Greg says in a slightly more energetic tone, slipping his pokedex away into his back pocket with another yawn. Having a room mate that wasn't in on this whole secret agent thing was probably going to be troublesome, but Greg thought it was 'no biggie,' and that he could work around it.

“Yeah, seems like it.” Quinn sighs. “Unless someone else wants to switch and get this new guy as a roommate.”“No.” Xander quickly chimes in. “I’m content with my rooming situation right now.” “Um, it’s not like I’d be opposed to it, but I’m already moved in and everything…” Dakota shifts around nervously and occupies himself by fidgeting with a button on his pajama shirt. “So um, what do you think he’ll be like?” “Not interesting enough to talk about.” Jay smirks and runs a hand through his messy hair. “Anyway, I’m going to get ready.”He starts to walk away but the door opens while he’s mid-stride, causing him to turn and look back to see what’s going on. An older looking boy with stark white hair and a scowl plastered on his face steps into the room rolling a black suitcase behind him. He looks like an average teenager, especially with the basic black hoodie and jeans he has on. “Ah look, its the man of the hour!” Jay says with a smile. “Hey.” The boy responds curtly while he closes the door behind him. “Hi! I’m Dakota, and that’s Xander, Zo, Greg, Faron, Jay, and Quinn!” Dakota excitedly points out everyone in the room as he speaks. The boy simply nods in reply. “I’m Dylan.” The boy continues in a similarly sour tone of voice. “Who am I rooming with?”

Greg rubbed his eyes as he looked over his new roommate. He seemed a bit... stiff, but nevertheless Greg was sure he could get along with the kid.
Taking a step forward Greg gave a small wave to the new kid, trying to get his attention. "Hey dude, you'll be rooming with me. Like Dakota said, I'm Greg, and it's awesome to meet you, Dylan dude. We got, like, an assembly thing in, like, 2 hours I think, so just get settled in and take your time unpacking and whatnot. And, umm, don't mind the clothes on the ground, I'll make some room for you, heh." That last comment was reflective of the fact that Greg's room had become quite a mess in the mere few days he had been living there.

Dylan walks over to Greg, but he doesn’t really look at his new roommate. Instead, he looks over to Faron. Dylan seems to visibly tense up, but Faron barely seems to notice him.
“Don’t worry about that assembly. I’m not going.” Dylan says coldly.
“Don’t act like an absolute brat, Dylan.” Faron replies with an eye roll. The comment seems to really get to Dylan, as he lets go of his suitcases and balls his fists while taking a step towards Faron. “You’re acting the same as you always do. You’ve been giving a chance here and you’ve already squandered it. The least you could is say hello.”
“Wh-what? Do you two know each other?” Dakota asks, obviously very confused. His queries go unanswered as Dylan gets closer to Faron, bridging the gap between the two.
“Listen you stuck-up asskissing piece of shit. I’m sick and tired of your bullshit. You just think you’re fucking better than me, don’t you?! Well let me tell you something; you’re not. Yeah, maybe you’re smart or whatever, but that’s just means you know people are using you to push some fucking narrative and you’re going along with it because it suits you. Why can’t you just leave me out of it!? I don’t want to be a slave to some company like the rest of you, alright!?” Dylan explodes, his face almost touching Faron’s. Faron doesn’t seem fazed by it, oddly enough. Xander immediately moves to break the two up, but Dylan struggles against him.
“Dylan, face the facts. No matter how many times you rebel or act out, you’ll never change anything. We’re doing what’s best for you. You need to face reality.” With that said, he turns on his heels and walks outside, leaving Dylan to fume.

The little argument between Faron and Dylan was more than enough to wake up Greg, the boy's eyes going wide with worry as he takes a step back from the two. On one had Greg didn't exactly want to get involved with the two, but on the other hand he didn't want things to get physical, something that Dylan looked like he was going to do. Luckily it didn't get to that point, and Greg let out a small sigh of relief as Faron left. "Right, well, like I said, go cool off in your room, or wherever, really." Greg said, trying to lower the tension in the room.
Greg knew full and well to not get involved in personal conflicts like that, but he was more worried about Faron and Dylan's relationship 'ruining the good vibe' in the dorm. Still, it was probably best to just leave it be and let the two sort it out, and if things escalated, well, hopefully Greg wouldn't get dragged into it.

Zo sits back in his chair, sipping coffee, as the new guy enters and introduces himself, before getting into a little spat with his room mate. Faron responded with an unsurprising lack of emotion, said some rather interesting factoids about the both of them. Seems like they both were involved with the same military organisation ... or whatever it was that Faron was involved in...
Finishing his cup, he puts it down and gets up. "Gregory is right. Perhaps it would be wisest if you went and put your stuff away in your room, take a few moments to regain your composure. Oh, and pleased to meet you." He smiles amicably, before taking his cup and clearing it away.

Dylan runs a hand through his hair and lets out a deep, ragged breath. “Yeah, it’s whatever. Just- you know what, nevermind. Where’s the room at, Greg?” He asks, turning to face his new roommate.

Pointed down the hallway with his thumb. "Down the hall, 5th door on your right. Watch out, the doorknob is a little loose and probably looking for an excuse to break, heh. Just shout if you need anything, and move anything around if you need room, just, um, don't break the fishing pole, thing's a bit valuable." By variable Greg of course meant sentiment; his old rod could probably pass for a stick with some string attached for all of how sturdy and useful it was.

Dylan nods, wheeling his suitcase down the hall and closing the door behind him with a resounding thud.
“Well I guess that’s that…” Xander mumbles.
Dakota still looks really confused. “Do you guys know what that was about? Did I miss something?”

Zo shrugs. "I'm guessing they knew each other from whatever military organisation Faron's involved with. And judging by how they both acted... their personalities probably just clashed, some time in the past and things have probably been escalating from that point." He shrugs again. "It happens."

Xander nods in agreement. “That sounds like an apt description. It’s really nothing we need to concern ourselves with.” He shrugs. “Unless it gets worse, then we might need to get administration involved…”
“Oh c’mon! It’ll be fine! Besides, it’s in-dorm entertainment!” Jay laughs.
“I think that’s what the TV is for, Jay.” Xander replies dryly.
Dakota yawns and starts to walk towards the hallway. “I think the excitement for the morning is over, so I’m going to go take a nap.”
“Don’t miss breakfast!” Xander calls after him as the boy sleepily walks into his room.
“Yeah, I’m gonna go get ready. Don’t do anything exciting while I’m gone!” Jay says while walking back to his own room.
“Don’t miss breakfast!” Quinn yells mockingly from the couch.

Zo watches as the others leave the room, before moving to the exit. "Well, if that's all, I have to head to the Center. I have a crow to pick up. I'll see you guys later."
Assuming no one says anything important, he heads out, heading for the Pokécenter.

Greg reached into his pocket and threw out the ball containing Maria, letting the Horsea wander around as he took a seat on the couch. "Guess I'll hang here until the roomy is done setting up. Don't really want to disturb the dude right now; he probably wants his privacy."

Xander nods, taking a slow sip from his coffee cup. “Yeah, he doesn’t seem like he’s in the mood to deal with other people right now.”
Maria starts hopping around the room, eventually making it over to the couch. Quinn coos gently, beckoning the Horsea closer. As she bounces over to him, he gently pets Maria, causing her to burble a bit.
“Your Horsea is real cute.” Quinn comments.
“Wow, a compliment? From you?” Xander asks incredulously.
“Hey! I have a heart, you know!”

Greg let out a small chuckle and a shrug. "Thanks dude. She's a curious lil one, that much is true. Just gotta keep an eye on her, less she hops somewhere you wouldn't want her to be..."

Quinn nods and absentmindedly pats Maria as he talks. “My older sibling has a few pokemon like that. I think they calm down a bit over time.”
“You mean Jay?” Xander asks, quietly adding, “Or are you Jay?”
“How dare you!” Quinn laughs. “Nah, I’m the older one by like a minute or something. You can tell I’m not Jay because I can turn off my sarcasm. I love him, but he can get overwhelming sometimes.” He explains.
“So did your mysterious sibling come to Olmia too?”
“Yeah, ten years ago or so. The dorms have definitely gotten a lot nicer. The town has improved quite a bit too, now that I think of it. I remember when Jay and I were little, we came down to visit a few times and my dad progressively grew to hate the only motel in town. He ended up giving them a lesson in how to do their job properly and got us banned. We, uh, didn’t visit anymore after that. Either of you got any fun Olmia stories?”
