Rox was getting herself a glass of water as Nate answered Andy's questions. Andy sure seemed to like asking questions, and Nate sure seemed to like giving answers. Rox acted like she wasn't paying close attention to his replies, but in truth she was also absorbing the information he was throwing out. After all, she was new too.
Rox ignored Nate's comment about killing things. It was just a goldfish so it wasn't like it was even an animal that mattered. "We share rooms?" Rox asked flatly. She had no desire to share her personal space with anyone. Hopefully there was at least one room that was empty, but she had her doubts.

Andrea nodded and made sure to remember it well and she really hoped that she would be able to live alone on one, hopefully Roxi was sharing with someone else. She could not help but smile when Nate told about what he liked, a good thing it was not only her that liked to skate. Even if it was fun to do it alone it never hurt to have company sometimes, at least peoples had told her that.
"Looks like we have some similar interests then. I like to spend time outside and animals and many of the things you just said."
She kept the fact that she liked a fight now and then a secret. But if he ever pushed her buttons he would experience that anyway. Roxi's question filled the air suddenly and she looked at Nate as she awaited the response.
If I have to share room with her I rather sleep on the couch or on the floor for that matter...
Andrea did not like the thought of having her snooping trough her stuff, not that she had much left but it was more her rule that was the important matter here and now.

"Yeah, we share rooms," he motioned them down the hallway. "It's pretty cool... it's like we're becoming a dorm or something." He laughed as he headed towards the bedrooms. "There's only four rooms, so I think we're gonna be a tight fit now if we get anyone else."
He pointed to the corner room on one side. "That one's Leroy and Nicolai's. That one's mine and Johnny's." He pointed over to the other side. "Allie and Nadia are in that one. Inyx doesn't really use a room." He pointed to the final room. "And I guess this one belongs to you guys now."
((hope those arrangements work? can always edit...))

Rox sneered at the though of sharing the room with this girl. It was nothing personal. So far this girl hadn't given Rox a reason to dislike her. She didn't even comment about Rox dropping the fish into the garbage. It was just the fact that Rox didn't want to share a room with anyone that made her so... grumpy.
However, Rox did notice one thing about what Nate said. "So there are a lot of other people who live here then?" It was a rhetorical question. A crowded apartment was not something Rox was looking forward to.

Andrea sent the other one a cold glare, this was going to get oh so much fun.... She cracked her knuckles just to give her a clear message about what she felt about it. It was not like she hated her, she was a jerk but Andrea also saw sides in Roxi that she hated about herself and that didn't exactly helped.
"So when are we meeting the others?"
She was curious about the person Nate had called Inyx. Didn't needed a bedroom? A part of her wanted to know more about it.

"Yeah, there's a bunch of us." Nate nodded, "Most of them are at work or out or whatever. Guess you'll meet them as you get home..."
He backed up a little when he noticed the clear tension between the two girls. He could tell why. Based on what he'd seen sof ar, Rox probably didn't like the idea of sharing, and Andy was probably thinking the same thing as him: Anyone but her!
He watched them for a moment. This could get ugly. Maybe I should pop some popcorn...

Rox watched the other girl glare and crack her knuckles. What was that about? Rox wasn't sure, but now she had her reason to dislike her. Rox glared back.
Then Nate mentioned something about the others working and it reminded her of her own job. She pulled the piece of paper out her pocket that had the address on it. "Got a phonebook?" Rox wanted to look up the address to see if she could figure out what kind of place it was. All she had was the street and building number.

"Yeah, I think there's one with the phone, by the fridge," Nate pointed back down the hallway towards the kitchen. "Speaking of jobs, where did you guys get put? Did they tell you yet?"
He wondered just how many different animal related jobs SPECTER could come up with. They were bound to get silly sooner or later, if there wasn't some doubling up. He was interested in how many different combinations of morphs they might gather as a team, with so many different types of jobs...

Andrea relaxed her shoulders and looked after Roxi as she went of in search for the phone. Why her of all peoples? Someone had to hate her, real bad.
"I got a job with animal rescue. Was there earlier today just to check it out."
She put her hands in her pockets and startd to chew in her lips, she was running out of subject to talk about and a part of her just wished to get out in fresh air.
"Where is the toilet?"

Rox let Andy tell where her job was wile Rox herself looked up the address. It took her a few moments, but she eventually managed to locate it. "Genetitech Labs? They have me working in a laboratory?" Rox thought that was a little amusing since she wasn't the science type.
"What about you?" Rox asked Nate. She didn't really care, although there was a slight amount of curiosity. What sort of jobs did SPECTER give their employees?

"Hey, I'm with the animal rescue too!" Nate grinned, and then sighed. "But... I'm the freakin janitor. It's so lame. I bet you actually get to go do stuff, huh?"
He glanced at Rox. "Labratory, hey? Like a mad scientist kind? Or like, you're gonna get kidnapped and tortured by freaky PETA people the minute you start kind? Either way... exciting!"
"Bathroom's that way," Nate pointed back down the hallway again.

It was about that time that Johnny and Naomi arrived. Johnny's pet store shift had ended so he had taken Naomi to show her around the place. He was talking to her over his shoulder as he walked in and held the door open for her. Then he closed the door and whirled around to say hi to his friends when his mouth dropped.
Girl Mean was talking to Nate and...someone new? Johnny cautiously edged around the room until he was next to Nate. "Nate," he whispered in his ear, "Umm, what's the girl with the major attitude doing here?"

Rox watched as more people arrived, figuring they were new people as well. However, her slight curiosity turned into confusion and then frustration as she recognized who they were. It was the horrible pet store employee and the girl who loaned her money to get the fish she had just acquired. The fish that was now flopping around in the trash can.
"You," Rox said accusingly to the pet store guy as he whispered something to Nate. "What are you doing here?" She turned her head slightly to look at Nate. "Don't tell me this... this fishmonger, is moving in too!" Rox didn't know if she could bring herself to live in the same place as him. She was doing all she could at the moment to keep from going over and... well she didn't know what she wanted to do, but it wouldn't be pretty.
"Charging $16 for a goldfish," Rox muttered to herself as she glared at Johnny.

Nate lifted an eyebrow at the reaction between Rox and Johnny, and this even newer girl. There was something he was seriously missing in all of this. He wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to know for his safety's sake, but for pure hilarity's sake, maybe it was a great story. "Killing fish and being glarey, mostly," Nate whispered back to Johnny, shrugging.
Then he turned back to Rox. "I don't know what you mean by fishmonger, but Johnny's not moving in. Johnny is moved in. Like, way before me, even."

It didn't take long for Johnny and Naomi to get to the building, in her opinion. Johnny was in the middle of saying something when he opened the door for her. "Thanks," she said, though he had already turned around to say hi. She blinked at the sudden silence. Then she turned and saw the girl from the store.
"Um, hi." She gave a small wave and a small smile. She said, "I'm guessing you're one of our roommates?" She asked Nate. The drama of the day was quite surprising in her opinion. She held onto her elbow, wondering if she looked out of place. She sure felt like it.
