Room 506, Wednesday Evening

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo was toweling her hair dry after her post-AT-run shower when she suddenly realized something.

She had totally forgotten to give Xanthippe the chocolates that she'd made for Valentines. So she was sort of going through her stuff trying to find the box she was pretty sure she remembered packing, but not actually managing to turn it up. Had she not actually made one? Had a gremlin stolen it?

Fortunately, Ringo still had some supplies left over, and a bunch of extra chocolates, too.

Which was why she was seated cross-legged on her bed, humming far too loudly, and going through a couple of different tupperware containers of handmade chocolates trying to find the best looking ones she had left so she could box them up for her roommate.

[ooc: Door cracked, post open.]

And there was a brand, new bear peeking around the door.

Watching.

Staring.

Alluka was trying not to giggle. The key word being 'trying'.

[soniaroadsqueen]

The giggling was the thing that drew Ringo's eyes toward the door.

She grinned.

"Oh, do we have a visitor?" she asked. "I don't believe I've seen you around before. Are you a new student, hmm?"

[that_oldsaying]

Mr. Berry shook his head.

Nope, totally not a student at all!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Hmm. Not a new student you say? Are you sneaking around the dorms by yourself, then?"

[that_oldsaying]

Alluka gave up on not giggling (she was doing a poor job of it anyway) and peered around the door with her bear.

"He's my new friend," she said happily. "His name is Mister Berry!"

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo put on a surprised face and let out a shocked gasp.

"Alluka! How long have you been there?"

Now Ringo was trying not to giggle. And doing about as good a job of it as Alluka had.

[that_oldsaying]

"I just got here!" Alluka lied, badly. "May we come in, Ringo? We'll be good!"

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Of course, of course!" Ringo pushed some of the containers of chocolate out of the way and waved Alluka over.

"Come on and join me!"

[that_oldsaying]

She laughed and, Mr. Berry in her hands, came in to sit down with Ringo.

"What were you doing?" she asked, looking at the chocolate containers curiously.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"I realized that I forgot to give my roommate chocolate," Ringo explained.

She held up one of the plastic containers. They were all pretty much full of random, slightly misshapen, bits of chocolate.

But it smelled like chocolate.

"So I'm trying to find the best of what I have left for her."

[that_oldsaying]

"Ooooh," Alluka said, "that's nice of you! But your chocolates taste good so, so will she really care about the appearance of them?"

As long as it was chocolate, Alluka didn't care.

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo giggled. "Well, some people are pickier than you are." And one such person was Xanthippe.

Then Ringo grinned. "Speaking of, do you know anyone who might want some of the ones that look kind of sloppy?" As if she didn't have someone in mind.
