Unpacking (open)

[Kisha-Ra]

Owen entered his assigned room with Achoo’s lead looped around his wrist, her stuff under one arm and his own bag on his shoulder. Since it was quite a big bag he staggered a bit as he walked in and kicked the door gently shut.

He dropped his things on one of the beds, put Achoo’s things next to them for a moment as he unclipped the mongrel’s lead from her collar, she instantly dropped her muzzle to the carpet and began sniffing around, and sneezing. Owen smiled at his amusing dog and began sorting through his luggage. Achoo’s bed and toys would go at the end of his bed, that was an easy one, as was placing a mat for her water bowl to go on, once he filled it. His clothing was thrown into the bottom two drawers of the chest of drawers on his side of the room, and Achoo’s biscuits, brushes, and lead, as well as a few other items for Achoo’s care went into the top, It was beginning to look like he’d brought more for Achoo than himself.

The last things out of Owen’s bag were an assortment of books, a game boy and some games, a pile of photos and the digital camera that took them all. These were thrown any old how onto the top of the chest of drawers as Achoo was pawing his leg and holding a rope toy in her mouth.

Owen slid down to the floor to grab the end of Achoo’s toy and pull it, and her, around the floor while she growled ferociously and wagged her tail madly.

Kai pushed opened the door to his assigned room and entered, his bags floating along behind him.

"I hate jet lag." he mumbled as he let his bags drop to the floor at the foot of his bed.

And then he noticed his roommate.

"Sorry about that." he said. "I tend to talk to myself from time to time. Don't worry I won't make a habit of it."

He added that last bit with a smile to show he was just being funny. He began to unpack his bags.

Owen hunched in on himself and looked at the ground the moment the door opened to admit another person, who was mumbling to himself. Owen looked sidelong at this newcomer, more interested in the fact that his bags were floating than that he was talking to himself, as far as Owen was concerned that was perfectly normal.

Achoo didn’t suffer from shyness at all so she trotted over to her new human friend and sniffed his foot, sneezed three times and wagged her tail, looking up adoringly. ‘Don’t mind Achoo, she ain’t ill, she allus sneezes like that when she’s gotta new scent.’ Owen explained his dog’s behaviour quickly; losing his shyness in his haste to make sure his roommate knew Achoo was healthy.

Kai allowed the dog to sniff at him as he continued unpacking.

"Nice dog." he said. "My grandma used to have one like her."

He grabbed a bunch of his clothes and headed for the dresser.

"Want the top drawers or the bottom drawers?" he asked.

Owen allowed himself to breathe again; he’d got a roommate who seemed to like Achoo, or at least someone who was willing to be polite about her. He’d just have to make sure she behaved well for a while.

‘Um, I don’t need any of them drawers.’ Owen replied, looking at Achoo rather than his roommate. ‘I ain’t got much stuff and it all fits in the chest of drawers over here.’ Owen tapped the drawers by his bed and a game cartridge slid off and bounced off his head. He picked it up and put it back without paying much attention. ‘M’ name’s Owen.’ He muttered suddenly realising he had forgotten his manners in not introducing himself.

"I'm Kai." Kai replied as he put his clothes away. "Ow!"

He massaged the spot on his elbow that had struck the edge of one of the drawers.

"They gotta do something about those sharp edges."

He shut the drawers and began unpacking the rest of his things.

Daniel was passing by heading to his room to unpack as well but decided to pop his head in the room for a moment. He to was not technically careening his things. "Hey." He said a slight hint of tired nest in his voice.
