[Dom] [backdated to Tuesday]
Felicia blew into her dorm room as if she'd lived there her whole life. Never mind that she'd spent the morning having her life-force drained, first by blood donation and then by visiting an unconscious Josh Foley. One ultra-powered smoothie later and she'd regained the bounce in her step. And she couldn't have been more obviously new, from the untouched status of her luggage to the way she fumbled with her key. But she appeared as confident (and bored) with her surroundings as any salty K-thru-college kid.

Her roommate was absent when she started to unpack and while Felicia suspected it wouldn't last for long, she made no effort to hurry. Halfway through a single box and she was distracted, sitting on her desk nursing the remains of her smoothie while she flipped through Mortal Evidence, one of her favorites in her ever-growing forensic library.

Dom was a big fan of sleeping in, and thanks to the fact that she had a much more limited schedule than most of the other students, including the one whose room she'd slept in the night before, she was able to sleep in quite a bit. She raked a hand through her hair, getting it somewhere close to presentable as she got dressed and headed back to her room. A few short minutes later, she was unlocking her door, throwing it open, and... meeting her new roommate, apparently.

"Hi." Well, on the plus side, at least her clothes weren't too noticeably rumpled. "I'm guessing you'd be the new roommate they've been hinting at."

Felicia looked up when the door opened and took in the appearance of the other girl with a neutral stare. Signs of a night spent elsewhere pleased Felicia in a matter-of-fact way, as there was nothing she liked more in a roommate than a little scarcity.

"All signs point to yes," She didn't stand, but she did put her smoothie down. "I'm Felicia, it's nice to meet you." Felicia gestured carelessly at her still-packed things. "I'm not gonna unpack all this stuff tonight, so I hope you don't mind the boxes."

	"Neena. But but most people call me Dom," she replied, taking a look at the boxes. Shrugging, she headed over to her side of the room. "Nope. Not at all." "Just to get it out of the way, you're not insane in any way, are you? My last roommate was... whew." She shook her head as she rummaged through her dresser for something clean to wear.

Felicia stuck the book on a shelf and hopped up to rummage around for a few more to join it. Dom's question made her pause, eyebrows quirked, and then she grinned, "Not that I'm aware of, but you're probably more likely to notice than I am."

She sat down on her desk again, "I guess we should get the whole Basic Habits roommate chat over with." Felicia sighed and leaned back, propped on her hands, "I don't sleep much at night, but I take a lot of naps. If you straighten your hair or put on a lot of perfume, warn me first. If you want to borrow something, ask me. Be honest with me, because I plan on doing the same. And don't ask me about my father."

She ran through the list easily, even flippantly, and punctuated it by tossing her empty cup neatly into the trashcan.

"I'll be sure to let you know, then," Dom nodded. Really, it was best that people be aware of their own insanity. She turned, clean clothes in hand, to nod along with Felicia's list.

"I'm not much for sleeping at night either. I don't straighten my hair, don't wear perfume," she responded, making check marks in the air as she went through the list, "Likewise. I am sometimes too honest, so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't care about your father. Hell, I don't even care about my father, so..." Dom shrugged.

"Let me know if you have a problem with swearing..." She frowned, trying to think of other things that should be added to the list, and coming up pretty much blank. "Just let me know if you have a problem with anything, I guess." That pretty much covered it. "I'm pretty low maintenance."

Felicia rolled her eyes, "Absolutely no issues with swearing, so that's no problem."

She smiled a little, pleased that Dom seemed so easygoing. She'd imagined some snobby super-prep or a high maintenance athlete.

"Well this turned out better than I thought," She grinned as she grabbed a box that she began to haphazardly unpack, mostly unloading the contents rather than finding ideal spots for things. "I thought I'd get totally screwed by this whole room-mate deal. Next you're gonna tell me that your powers produce feelings of euphoria."

Felicia turned suddenly, away from where she was filling a shelf up with books, "They don't, do they?" She asked, eyes playful and bright.

"That's good," Dom nodded. Not that she swore incessantly, but her one of her previous roommates had tried to fine her every time she did. That arrangement didn't last long.

"Not produce, really... but it is often a side-effect." She winked and leaned against her desk, bowing her head slightly and nodding. "Probability control. Sort of. It's pretty much just boils down to luck. Insane luck."

"Oh, seriously?" Felicia grinned, "Me too. Well, bad and good. Probably why they put us in the same room. If I accidentally tagged you, it might not have any effect."

She'd already decided she wasn't going to ask anyone about the accident in DC, but mention of Dom's powers did trigger something in her memory. Still, it was too personal to ask about, so Felicia focused on unpacking, which currently meant dumping boxes of linens and towels onto her bed.
