-This is an Anthro Subeta pet roleplay-

It's a Sunny day in Centropolis and students are slowly filling up the campus at SU. From new Freshman trying to find their ways around before classes start to Seniors that are so over the place they could (and do!) navigate it in their sleep. The Fall semester will soon be starting and the campus is waking up from its drowsy Summer session. The new entrants seem to be the most frazzled as they find their way around, check that their dorms are in order, that their parking decals are correct. You can usually tell the students who are fresh from high school, entering a larger campus for the first time. The summer heat is lingering but the breeze says that fall will be here soon enough!

Name: Willoe Munroe Age: 19 Standing: Freshman Projected major: English/Culinary Other: Went to a Vocational Tech Center for culinary school, loves baking. Lives in the on campus dorms, doesn't have a car.

'It's hot today' Willoe thought as she stepped out of the air cooled building and into the sunlight. She had just turned all of her paperwork for classes into the registrar and gave the last of her transcripts to her new adviser. It had been kind of a mess since she was transferring only partial credit but was still considered a Freshman. She squinted down at her map, brushing a stray bit of long violet hair from her eyes.

"So I need to go...." she hmm'ed to herself as she let the sunlight warm her goosebumped skin. She really hoped they didn't always keep the buildings that frigid, how would she focus on lectures? She found the building on the map: Housing Services. As she got her bearings she walked to the bike rack outside the doors and bent down to unlock her's. It was minty green with a faded, dirty white seat and brown accents. As she pedaled across the concrete walkways she took in the sight of the trees, their leaves still green and swaying slightly in the breeze. Students were walking around, some alone, some with their families, others in tour groups led by a seasoned student. She passed by the school fountain, the advisory building she'd just left set behind it a bit, the 'Student Union' which looked a little run down and small.

She slowed as she approached a crossroads and stopped to check the map. The left fork took her straight to the tiny soccer field and the Art building and further to the library. The right fork took her to the Liberal Arts and Psychology buildings and straight sent her to the Math, Science and Computer buildings. All the pathways seemed to converge but the quickest way to Housing would be straight between Science and Math. She put the map back into a small handbag slung across her chest and promptly turned right. 'Might as well see where I'll be every day' she thought taking the long way past Liberal Arts. That was where all the English and History students took most of their classes, nearby was the slightly smaller Psychology building.

As she turned back off to the left she watched the students and buildings coming into view. The dormitories looked like solid brick apartments from the outside, except there were no balconies. She slowed as she came upon the small building that was the Housing Office, walking her bike to the next rack and chaining it again. She then stepped inside and was greeted once again with the sub-arctic air conditioning.

A plump, pleasant looking woman in her late forties greeted her with a smile as the little bell over the door rang.

"Hello! Are you a student? Have you filled out your dormitory application?"

"Hello, yes. I filled it out a few weeks ago and got the notice I was approved."

"Excellent! Then I just need you to sign this waiver and you're all set." She took a paper from a stack and scooted it across her desk along with a pen as Willoe sat in the opposite chair. Briefly she scanned the page, it was a simple 'I understand the rules and am responsible for my own things' type of waiver. As she signed and dated it the woman pulled a file out of a cabinet and placed two keys on the desk. "Alright there you go, that's your mail key and your room key. Don't lose them or you'll have to pay a fee. You have your ID? You'll need that to get into the building." She tucked the now signed waiver into the file and put it back in her cabinet. "You're in 213, so you'll be in the first building to the left on the second floor." She smiled as Willoe thanked her and turned to leave. It was kind of exciting to be a new student again.

Name: Padget Kemp Age:19 Standing: Freshman Projected major: Theater Tech and Business Other: Lives on campus. Her foster sister is a Junior studying Library Sciences. No car. (will add an image here later)

"Bella! The door!" Padget yelped as her grip on the box of books wavered. She shot her foot out in vain, hoping to catch the closing building door. It slammed in her face and she let out a frustrated wail, blowing some of her neon blue and green hair out of her face. She stood on one foot to balance the book on her thigh while she dug into her jacket pocket for her ID card. Just as she had fished it free the door opened and her foster sister Bella was standing there, both hands on the bar and staring at her. "Took you long enough! Where did you go!?"

Bella rolled her eyes and pushed the door open a little farther, sliding a door stopper into it with her foot. "I went upstairs to your room, duh. You think I was just going to leave your suitcases on the first floor?"

Padget squeezed past her while Bella ran back to the car for another box. Padget didn't feel like she was bringing that much stuff, but when you had to move it all in it felt like more. As she sidled up the stairs she took mental note. Three suitcases of clothes, two boxes of books and DVDs, her bedding, her mini fridge, coffee pot, laptop, posters and those stupid curtains that Bella had insisted on buying. From the bottom of the stairs she heard Bella coming, dragging one of the other suitcases along behind her so that it thunked on every other stair.

"Why aren't we using the elevator again?" Bella called from below. Padget craned her head awkwardly over her shoulder and downwards to see her nearly a whole floor below.

"Because exercise is good for you Bella, also the elevator is on the other side of the building. It would take us twice as long to walk the stuff to the elevator and then back down to the room. This is easier because my room is right near the stairs." She turned rightways again, though she could practically feel her sister rolling her eyes.

Standing in front of 213 gave Padget a rush of excitement. She scooted the suitcase Bella had left there to the side with her foot before unlocking the door and opening it. She peered in for a moment before turning the light on. With nothing covering the white walls the room practically glowed in the florescent lights. She made a face and then scooted her suitcase with her foot out of the hallway to keep the door propped open. Then she set her box of books down just inside the door.

"Pretty decent size for two people." Bella said behind her, dragging the other suitcase in. "Which side is yours?"

"I don't know, haven't gotten the chance to talk about it with my roommate yet." Padget walked to the windows and pulled the blinds up to let in a huge beam of natural lighting. Contented with how well lit the room was now she turned the overhead light back off. "I guess I'll figure it out once all my stuff is in and she gets here."

"Well if she isn't here by nightfall then you get to pick, because you can't sleep on the floor." Bella said as she turned back towards the stairs.

"Well obviously Bella, but I'm sure she'll be here soon." Padget said as she jogged after her.

She turned away from the housing office and towards her building, digging her ID card out of her bag and swiping it outside the door. It beeped once and clicked open. She looked around, the first floor was a stairwell and a doorway leading to the rest of the building. 'I'll check that out later,' she thought as she began to ascend the staircase. As she reached the landing of the second floor a pair of girls jogged past her, back down the stairs. 'They're lively,' she mused as she smiled a little and began walking down the hall, counting the numbers as she passed.

"213, that's me," she said as she reached her room but there was no need for a key. The door was already open, propped open with a suitcase. "I wonder if these belong to one of those girls...?" She said quietly to herself as she peered in the room and tentatively stepped in. There wasn't much to tell about the other person yet. They were seemingly patient though as all the luggage was towards the middle of the room instead of on a specific side.

She walked to the other side of the room and peered out the window to the grounds and the parking lot. Guess now was a good time to call.

Bella had the last suitcase in one hand and the roll of posters under her arm as she stood at the bottom of the steps watching Padget hobble up the stairs awkwardly with her arms wrapped around the mini-fridge. Padget gave a heave and a grunt before setting the fridge down on the landing for a breather before hauling it up the remaining flight.

"For being labeled 'mini' it sure doesn't feel like it is." Padget said, heaving.

Bella flattened her ears back for a moment. "This is why I said we should get it last and use the elevator."

"But I can get it!" Padget whined before wrapping her arms around it again and taking a deep breath. With a loud, ungainly grunt she lifted it up again and hobbled up the stairs and into the second floor hallway as quickly as she could. Bella jogged up after her.

"Vi-victory!" Padget heaved out as she set the fridge down just inside the door, laying her stomach flat against the top of it and collapsing like a folding chair. Her lungs and leg muscles were on fire.

"Padget." Bella said curtly from behind her, kicking the back of her foot.

"Whaaaaaaaat?" She whined.

"Pay attention, I think you're roommate is here."

Padget put both hands on the top of the fridge and pushed up, staring at the girl in the room she hadn't noticed before in her haste of moving. She broke into a wide grin, her crystal blue ice glowing with exercise. "Hi there! Sorry I didn't see you, hello!"

She flicked an ear behind her, what was that tromping sound? Willoe turned as she heard a guttural sort of grunt just in time to see a girl heave a mini fridge into the doorway and flop onto it. She stared for a minute and laughed to herself. She stepped toward the two a bit, smiling.

"Hello! It's alright, I don't imagine I'd see much else beyond putting down a fridge haha! Are you rooming here? I'm Willoe, by the way." She extended a hand to her new acquaintance, her own indigo eyes glittering with excitement. She was always a tad nervous meeting people but that would fade after a few days she was sure.

Padget reached out, still half collapsed on the fridge and took Willoe's hand. She gave it a little jiggle in greeting. "Hi, I'm Padget. That," She indicated with a jerk of her head over her shoulder at Bella, still standing in the doorway. "Is my foster sister Bella."

"Hello." Bella said, dropping Padget's stuff onto the floor and scooting it out of the way.

"And this," Padget said, releasing Willoe's hand to thump the top of the fridge. "Is our mini-fridge." She looked around the room again and then up at her roommate. "Do you need any help getting your stuff in? We're almost done."

"A box of books, your bedding and your computer bag." Bella said matter of factly. "Oh, and your curtains."

Padget looked up into Willoe's eyes and mouthed 'curtains' at her before making a gag face. She then straightened up and cracked her back. "Yeah, that's like one more trip and then I can help you move your stuff in." Padget said brightly. Bella had already started back down stairs.

"Sorry my stuff is like, just in the walkway. I wasn't sure which side of the room you would want." Padget explained.

(it accidentally posted twice, whoops)

"Hello Bella," she said with a smile, giving a little nod in the other girl's direction before looking back down at Padget. "I'm glad you have one, honestly I was just going to wait a week and see what we needed before picking stuff up. I actually need to call my brother, he told me to wait until I had the keys before calling him, like it's so inconvenient to sit outside and wait." She gave an eyeroll at the thought of her brother's whining.

She nodded along with Bella's list and had to bite her lip to stifle her laugh at Padget's face. Surely the curtains weren't that bad?

"It's fine, it really doesn't matter to me since the beds are on opposite walls. You can choose first since you brought your stuff first. Let me shoot my brother a text really quick," she took her phone out of her bag and jotted out a quick message to the point of 'I'm here. Second building on the left from the corner. 213, call so I can let you in.'

Padget nodded and pushed up off the fridge. Taking a better look at the the room she pushed her things over towards the right side. She put the box on the desk and the suitcases in front of one of the right hand dresser. The fridge went in the space between the foot of the bed and the side of the desk. She leaned over it again and struggled for a second before successfully plugging it in. The little machine sputtered to life with a loud whir that died down to a muffled hum.

Bella arrived back just as Padget was running out the room for the last of the things. "It's just your computer and your bedding!" she called after her. A noise that sounded like it might have been an okay echoed back from the stairs before the door slammed. Bella shook her head and put the box beside the other one on the desk.

"What are you majoring in?" She asked Willoe conversationally as she picked up the curtains from the top of the box. They were a light gray with darker gray stripes running across them. She quickly hung them up on the windows on Padget's side of the room and put one half of a pair on the shared window in the middle. "The rest are here if you want to hang them on your side." She said, patting the pile on the desk.

"That's it Bella, thanks for letting me borrow the car." Padget said, her laptop bag slung over one shoulder and a plastic bag of bedding in the other hand. When Bella wasn't looking she scowled at the curtains.

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay and help you unpack everything?"

"No, I can do it. You don't need to baby me." Padget pointed past them to the campus outside the window. "They don't let babies into University."

"Brat." Bella said, coming over to hug her. She ruffled Padget's hair and dodged past her to the hall. "Text me if you need anything. It was nice to meet you Willoe. Bye!" With one last lingering wave Bella was gone.

Padget turned to her roommate and gave a long sigh. "Siblings, man."

Willoe sat on the blank and empty mattress on the left side of the room, watching Padget get the fridge going before she traded places with Bella. She perked slightly as her new room mate's sister talked to her.

"I'm a double major, English and Culinary. I went to a Tech Center in high school for Culinary so I thought why not elaborate on it? Plus its a steady job, people are always looking for cooks or bakers to hire." She watched as Bella began hanging the curtains Padget seemed so disgusted with. She couldn't see why, the grey was calming and oddly cozy. "Thanks, I think I will," she answered with a smile. She wasn't entirely sure what she would do with her half of the room yet but curtains were as good of a start as any. She went to the box and picked up the remaining curtains before beginning to hang them.

As she turned she saw Padget entering the room so she dropped back down to sit on her bed, giggling into her palm at Padget's reaction. Willoe was guessing Padget didn't care for them because her sister had picked them.

"Nice meeting you!" She called to Bella with a slight wave. Then she turned back to Padget.

"Tell me about it, I've got an older brother at home. He acts like he's the baby though." She made an annoyed face thinking about it. Whatever, she wasn't living with him any more so it didn't matter. "So why don't you like the curtains? I think they're nice."

"Yeah they're nice." Padget said, running her hand along the hem of one of them. "I just don't understand the appeal of curtains when you already have blinds." She sighed and turned towards her boxes. "Plus, gray isn't really my color." She said, shaking out her blue green hair for emphasis.

She moved things off her bed and started making it. Adding a mattress pad, her sheets, pillows, comforter and throw blanket. She tossed a tattered looking rag doll onto the pillow and then moved to start unpacking her desk supplies. "The bed is always the first thing to unpack and the last thing to pack up."

She plugged in her laptop and set it on the desk, tossing her notebooks and pens into the drawers. "So what time is your first class?"

"I love curtains, they're usually prettier than blinds and they make the room so much darker. I had an east facing window at home so if I wanted to sleep past six, curtains were imperative." She nodded and glanced at the ends of her own violet locks. "I know what you mean but you can always dye them. They even have dyes for polyester now."

She pulled out her phone, her brother should have called by now. It's not like he was very far away... Her phone rang as she thought about it which startled her and caused her to jump and fumble to answer.

"Hello? Yeah, ok I'll come down." She hung up the phone and dropped it in her tiny bag. She turned back to Padget as she got to her feet. "Tomorrow at 9. Comp I. I'll be right back, I have to go let my brother in and start unloading stuff." She gave a little wave as she headed across the room and out the door, down the stairs and out of the building. In the parking lot stood a tall, dark haired boy leaning against a dark grey hatchback.

"Took you long enough," he called as Willoe approached him.

"Shut up, it was like two minutes. Its not like you have somewhere to be anyway," she teased back at her brother as she opened the back of the car and loading herself up with stuff. Begrudgingly her brother followed suit and grabbed a box of books.

"Yeah, yeah." He replied, balancing the box on his hip and shutting the door. Willoe had already made it back to the building, waiting for him to get closer before swiping the card to let them both in.

"Met your roommate yet?" He asked as the went up the stairs.

"Yeah, she seems nice." As they rounded the corner Dalec opened his mouth to say something but promptly shut it on reaching the doorway. Willoe walked over and placed a shoulder bag and a box on her bed, her rother following behind.

"Padget, this is my brother Dalec. Dalec, this is my roommate Padget."

"Dye..." Padget mused in consideration, pulling on the hem of the curtain again. "Oh, okay! I'll be here." She gestured in a little circle around herself with a smile. While she was alone she went about putting her books on the shelves on her side of the room, tucking her DVD's into the leftover space. The only things she had left were her posters and her suitcases of clothes.

She laid them out on her bed and dug into the drawer for her new box of thumbtacks. Opening them up she stepped back to look at the space available. She had to be strategic about her placement of things.

"Hello!" She chirped, pivoting on her toes to wave. "Need help bringing your stuff up? I'm almost done here." She gestured at her suitcases and bed. "But I can take a break to help get your stuff up here."

"Hey." He replied, putting the box on the bed and turning to head back down to the car.

"Nah, its ok. I don't have much either heh." She shrugged and headed back down, catching up to Dalec and getting a few last things out of the car. She made Dalec carry up a rather large suitcase of clothes while she follwed behind with a couple of pillows under an arm, a bag in one hand and a small, disassembled fish tank in the other. Juggling the items, she managed to swipe the door open for them and get back into the building. Then back up the stairs (Dalec grunting as he wrangled the suitcase) and back into the room. She set the large bag and pillows on the bare bed and gently placed the tank supplies (including bagged fish) on the desk. "Thanks for the help Dalec."

"Yeah, just don't ask me to help you move before the semester's over. Call Mom and Dad later, let them know I helped. Nice meeting you." Dalec gave a small and insincere smile as he turned to leave.

"Love you too!" Willoe called as he disappeared from the doorway. She heaved a sigh that made her shoulders shrug. "He's such a pain but he's family." She then began taking books and knick knacks out of the box and placing them on the shelves of her desk. "So what are you majoring in?"

"Okay." Padget nodded and went to work unpacking her suitcases. Once they were empty she slid them under her bed and went back to work hanging posters. She had most pinned up by the time Willoe and her brother were finished moving stuff.

"Bye." She called to him over her shoulder. She turned to look at Willoe. "Family." She agreed with a nod. She glanced at the tank on Willoe's desk and exclaimed loudly with joy. "Oh my god, are those fish?" She turned, her half hung poster slouching off the wall as she skidded across the face to peer at them.

"They are so cute, what kind are they what are their names?" She stood up straight and cleared her throat. "Ah, excuse me. I'm studying Theater Tech and Business. I want to own my own theater one day."

She turned back to her half hung poster and finished pining it up. "Hey when you're done unpacking do you want to walk to the grocery store with me?"

Once she finished with the box she dropped it to the floor. She jumped a little at the sudden exclamation, then laughed feeling silly. "Haha, just one. He's a crowntail betta. I had one when I was in middle school but he only made it about two years. Thought I'd give it another try. I haven't named him yet, I actually just got him this morning as kind of a 'Welcome to college' present for myself." She smiled as she reached into the next box and began dropping pairs of shoes on the floor and placing a trash bin beside her bed. "Oh man, that's so cool. So do you act or are you just a behind the scenes type of person?" She pulled out a cork/dry erase board combo and some hanging supplies.

"Yeah that sounds good." When she finished with that box she dropped it on top of the other one. "Don't worry, I'm going to break those down." Then she began making her bed, adding pillows and finishing off with a stuffed bear and a fluffy throw at the end of the bed. "I can do clothes later..."

"Well whatever you name him, he'll be a little fish charmer." Padget assured her roommate.

"Just behind the scenes stuff, I'm not a good actress and besides, I am too wild with my appearance to be able to fit many roles." She pushed her last thumbtack into the wall and then flopped down onto her bed. "I want to be able to design and direct and stuff like that, so I can do that for some shows if I run my own theater." She rolled over and watched Willoe unpack.

"Don't worry about it, they're just boxes." She gestured at them and then paused. "You should save them though, so you don't have to get more when it's time to move out again." She reached under her bed and gestured around. "I stuck my empty ones in my suitcases."

She stretched out before checking her phone to see if she had any new messages. Her other foster sister had texted her and the Greek life emails were already starting to fill up her inbox with advertisements for rushing. "Take you're time, we can go whenever you're ready."

"He is a charmer, in that betta sort of way. He gets huffy when you get too close to his tank which is kinda funny." She had taken the baggie out of the tank and had begun putting in the rocks and fake plants. She then went into the bathroom and filled the tank three quarters of the way with water before setting it on the desk and turning on the little filter. "I'll have to get you a moss rock eventually," she smiled at the fish who flared out his fins in response.

"That sounds like more fun anyway, I mean I'm sure acting is great but you don't get to make anything yourself. Have you written any plays yet? I took a drama class freshman year. Turns out I have stage fright." She laughed a little to herself as she broke down the boxes and slid them, along with her suitcase under the bed.

"When's your first class? I hope they aren't super crazy, like I've heard some of the core classes have over 150 students. Like how do you grade more than 300 Comp I papers at the end of every semester?" She stood looking around, mentally making a checklist of what to buy. 'We should get a microwave... and a coffee pot... a blender would be great but where the hell are we going to put it all?' she thought.

"Oh I'm ready whenever. Going to let his water clear out and settle before I put him in there." She nodded at the fish before turning back to Padget.

"I haven't tried writing any plays yet though I am taking a class in it next semester. Or I'm going to try." Padget rolled off her bed and cracked her back. "I think my first one is at 8am, but it is only once a week so it shouldn't be too bad. Intro to Statistics."

She leaned against her desk and considered it. "I have no idea, I have a hard enough time writing papers, I couldn't imagine having to grade them." She chewed on her lip. "I think of all the jobs in the world, I am least suited for teaching."

She grabbed her coat from where she had left it on her desk chair and shrugged into it, feeling to make sure her wallet and keys were still in the pocket before she grabbed her phone. "Well I have a coffee pot, so we just need the blender and the microwave." She looked around and then gestured to the tops of the desk shelves. "We can put the microwave on my fridge, and we can keep the coffee pot and blender up there until we need them?"

"Ugh that sucks. I really don't like mornings, if I could have I would only have taken classes after noon. Seems we get the leftover spots since we're Freshman which I guess can't be helped but... ugh mornings. Statistics also sounds really hard, then again I'm not very good at math unless it involves measuring cups." She dropped her shoulders dramatically as she thought about the ever approaching morning when she'd have to get up and get ready for classes. She couldn't wait until she was a Junior and could have some priority in her enrollment, then she could sleep in and still get to class on time. Then she gave a small, casual shrug as that dream was still a few semesters away and there was no use dwelling on the misfortunes of being a Freshman already.

"Yeah. I don't think I'd mind teaching, I'm kind of keeping it in my back pocket but if I ever did it would only be college. Like I'm not dealing with kids who have to take the class because its required but don't really want to be there. If I can help it though, I'm not setting foot in a school after I graduate." She gave a little laugh, thinking about the fact she'd graduated high school just a few short months ago and now here she was waiting to start classes again. It's like you never really ever leave.

"Yeah that sounds good. I mean we don't necessarily need a blender immediately. I just thought it'd be nice for smoothies and stuff." She grabbed her bag and made sure her phone, keys and wallet were inside before heading for the door. "We'll be back later little fish, don't roll off the desk while I'm gone." She sang to the fish in his bag. He simply floated about lazily in his baggie, not acknowledging Willoe in the slightest.
