"I think I'm gonna head to my room and take a nap before its my turn to do the patrol," Marco said, "I'm so tired."
He turned to Max, "Want me to show you to my room?"

"Yes please," The boy replied, standing up and shadowing the older one, head down.

Marco led him to a door, and opened it and turned on the lights. It was a pretty normal room, one side pristine and unoccupied and the other side lived in. On Marco's side it was a pretty typical teenaged boy's room decorated with band posters and having a book shelf filled to the brim with books, comics and manga. Some clothes and such were lying around, Marco planned to clean up a bit later.
"Is your stuff coming soon?" Marco asked, "Ugh I need to take a nap before Her Bitchiness makes me do my shift in Rey. I'm so tired. Or at least I need to lay down. But first..." he began taking his suit off, "Goddamn these things are too painfully tight. I feel like May looks at me in the crotch and not in the face when I talk to her."

Max stared at the section between the older boy's shoulder blades, frozen.
"...W-what are you doing."
If Marco were to look behind, he'd see that Max's glasses were beginning to fog up.

"Oh sorry..." Marco said shaking the last pant leg off, so that he was only wearing his briefs, "I should of asked first. I stopped caring a long time ago, because we have to always get dressed in the locker room together. Not to mention Adam likes to fuck with my clothes, cause I kinda value them a lot sooo..." he shrugged awkwardly, his own face beginning to turn a little red just from Max's embarrassment. He quickly got under the sheets of his bed, laying down trying to get comfy.

Max, still stunned, sat down on the opposite bed, staring at the wall and silent.

"...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Marco said, "I'm just used to being around guys who don't give a shit. ...So when is your stuff gonna arrive? Or are you just gonna survive on the basics?"

"Hmm...all right," Marco said. He reached down to the floor and picked up his pajama pants that he had thrown on the floor in a hurry that morning. He put them on while laying down.
"...You're really shy aren't you?" Marco said stating the obvious.

Giselle looked around the dorm she had chosen, deciding it would serve well enough for her standards. At the moment both she and Eren were focused on moving in and unpacking their things.
"Should we...?" Eren inquired as he glanced over towards the two doubles, then to her.
She knew what he meant without any need for clarification.
"...Not yet."

((Okay, since our esteemed moderator is apparently going to be away for awhile, he transferred control of the character of May to Warrior of Light Penny and the character of Adam to mekasoundwave. That means corte and mekasoundwave need to work on their patrol together.))

"Hmm...all right," Marco said. He reached down to the floor and picked up his pajama pants that he had thrown on the floor in a hurry that morning. He put them on while laying down. "...You're really shy aren't you?" Marco said stating the obvious. The boy had been busy pulling out a small bottle of water from his left coat pocket, and another, orange bottle from the right. He fiddled with the orange bottle, taking the cap off and shaking a few things into his hand. "I'm..." He tossed the pills into his mouth, taking a swig off the water. "I have social anxiety disorder. It gets bad sometimes. I'm sorry..." ((And since I have May...)) Being the only female pilots with no prior arrangements (May refused to sleep in the same room as her brother since The Incident of Fifth Grade), May and Liz were paired together pretty quickly, and ushered to their rooms. Currently, they were both setting up their sides of the room, and complimenting - both fake and sincere - the other's choices.

((oh hay, starbucks and a mostly pre-written post. Gonna try to do these for RFF hopefully every other day at least.))
“Eh, kinda,” Adam shrugged, looking more like a person stuck in traffic than a pilot of a massive robot killing machine. The Zaltonus moved forward along its path ahead of the smaller machine, its pilot barely even paying attention to the surroundings he's been seeing every few days for the last several years. The titan's legs moved as the gears turned and as pistons fired off over and over, muffled into almost non-existence by layers upon layers of metal.
“Never was one to bother with actual military workers. Just attend a few drills, shoot the shit, get pounded into the ground by April. Maybe talk to a few soldiers at lunch.” --- May sighed as most of the people around her left to their various rooms- Marco dragging Max along to his room, that new girl from Europe leaving with her boytoy to their own room, Patty going... somewhere. Overhearing April burning another bridge with someone (if she hadn't already).
The usual day, all in all, she thought. Of course she was paired up with the other new girl- as expected. The girl took to the room the duo would share, glad to have someone to talk to, finally, after two months!
"Ooooh, that's a cute top." May complimented the girl, with a slightly snide tone. "Where'd ya get it?"

"Highschool is hell, adults say, but they don't know the half of it..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Same place you got all your shoes," Liz replied, tossing a glance over her shoulder, "My grandmother's closet."

"Oh sweetie" May replied to the black-haired girl, choosing to ignore the comment as she set down one of her make-up kits onto her dresser. "Those shoes probably cost more then everything you own. High brand names, darling, learn to love them."

"Sad that 'high brands' use cheap materials and children's labors, isn't it?" Liz hung up her remaining dresses and tops,sorting them out easily in the closet.

"Oh like that garbage fabric used In those dresses of yours are much better than my shoes?" May replied as she placed clothing in her drawers.

In Giselle and Eren's dorm room, it was quieter than the rest, mostly due to the occupants leaning towards communicating with looks and expressions rather than words. The arrangement suited them and neither had objections towards it that needed to be raised.
At the moment, the two had just finished unpacking and were now relaxing by playing with a set of dominoes. After some contemplation, Giselle selected a double three piece and placed it on the table on one end of the 'path', a move that was quickly counteracted by Eren and prompted her to frown as she found none of her pieces had anything that could enable her to follow up, forcing the girl to take another domino and add it to the ones she had.

"Same," Max replied, going silent for a moment. "...I should say right now that I can't swim, and am afraid of pools and stuff, shouldn't I?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Not in the slightest. My shoes do me just as well as the rest of my clothes."

" Its all good. I'm afraid of cockroaches, I'll scream like a little girl if I see one," Marco laughed, "Do you have a reason for being afraid of pools? Cause I just hate cockroaches cause they're nasty."

"I was kinda thrown into one when I was like... eight," he replied, rubbing the back of his neck. He decided to spare his new roommate of the details. "Almost died. Dude, cockroaches are disgusting."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shame such a bombshell like you wears clothes that are made by wage slaves."

"Oh wow... I'm sorry. I'm glad you're okay." Marco said sincerely.
"...So how's your family situation?" he asked curiously, "My only family is my brother. My dad got killed while piloting when I was 10, and my mom died in an engineering accident here around the time I started piloting."

Liz was silent for a long time.
"...Did you go to prom this last year?" She pulled out a small booklet. "I've got pics from mine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max smiled.
"I'm sorry about your family. It must be harsh to have just lost your Mama. My dad died fighting the Yellowstone Daikaiju. I was around nine, I guess. I live with my grunkle Tyrone now - sorry, that's great uncle. My sister came up with that. She's my twin, older by five minutes, but she's... not all there. She's got the mentality of a three year old, and isn't able to like... live alone, or anything. Tyrone's got her going to places that can help take care of her though, whenever I'm gone like now. He can't do much for her, he's in a wheelchair, so I usually help her do stuff. I don't mind it at all, I love her a lot. Her name is Alice. And... and I've got a little sister named Evelyn, Tyrone's gotten her help too because she tripped me down the stairs last year, she's not right in the head and she's always mad at everything but I guess that's middle school really, she's only thirteen, and she's upset because of Daddy, and also since Mama can't care for us. But we still see Mama a lot, we visit her every weekend and on Christmas Eve we stay the night and bake cookies and watch old movies and stay up late drinking cocoa and she and I set out the gifts for the girls while they're asleep and that's our special time together but every morning after I've fallen asleep she's done stuff for me too, which is really nice; only Alice believes in Santa, but even if she didn't, we'd still do that because it's part of the spirit of Christmas, yknow? It's really important." He paused, and realized he'd just spoken around a hundred words per second. "...Sorry..."

"I didn't just lose her. I've been piloting for like 2 years, and she died a month after I started. It still hurts though. And its all good... you love your family a lot don't you?" Marco laughed, "I still have a family though, I have Sergio and Romy might as well be my family, and I'm gonna have a niece or nephew soon. I do miss Mom and Dad a lot though."
