Housing Board Over Here

[sonofaparrotman.livejournal.com]

Scooter ambles up to the group of students milling around outside Principal Connor's office, unsurprised and unperturbed by the current state of chaos. He stands and watches the scene for a moment before grabbing one of the plastic visitor chairs and clambering onto it.

Alright! Hey, hey! Kids!

Scooter waves his arms about, attempting the Kermit version of crowd control. This is a moderately successful tactic as the students quiet somewhat. Scooter plunges on.

Hi, my name's Scooter and I'm the A/V and Theatre Tech Coordinator here at Fandom High. This isn't normally in my job description, but that's kind of the way of things around here. Anyway, let me make my announcement and you can get back to getting to know each other.

Students who have already been enrolled and are in need of housing should follow me. I'm going to show you the housing board outside the Office of Residential Affairs. There you can post notices asking for roommates, pick up single room request forms and find out about possible off-campus housing options. I promise, it won't be any more painful than it has to be.

Oh, and for all of you still waiting in line there will be signs posted pointing you in the right direction. We just haven't gotten them back from the printer's yet.

So, we're off.

Scooter climbs down from his chair and turns and walks off down the hallway, assuming that some portion of the crowd will follow him.

ETA: [OOC: I'm starting a requesting a single thread; if you want a roommate, make a comment saying so and state your preferences. People who are looking for roommates should check each other's requests and try to form pairs or trios. I'll post a link to the housing office later so that rommate sets can put in room requests. Also, if you request a single and then decide to have a roommate, please comment on your comment in the SINGLES thread to let us know. Thank You, The Management.]

ETA2: Enter the Office of Residential Affairs here

British? Good stuff.

I'm used to a five-guy dorm, so sharing with just one is fine by me!

*tips hat* I think this arrangement can work out to everyone's satisfaction. Pleased to meet you, mister . . . ?

Potter. Harry Potter.

*has a sudden 007-moment*

Sounds like you've been out at sea. Will you be okay sleeping in a place that doesn't rock back and forth?

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

It may take me a few days to get used to it again. I hope you can bear with me until then.

If all else fails, I suppose I can always just sling a hammock again. At least there won't be someone breathing up my bum from below.

[harried-potter.livejournal.com]

Well, I think I can safely say I won't be breathing up your bum.

Now, do we have a room?

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Well, let's see. Would you prefer the ground floor, or higher up?

[harried-potter.livejournal.com]

Well, ground floor means we won't have to climb stairs to get back to our room. On the other hand, it can get a bit noisy on the ground floor - people running around all the time. Then again, I also know how to cast a spell to soundproof a room. I think.

When one has sailors running about abovedecks all the time, one gets used to the noise. Though if you could soundproof it, that would be heavenly. The ground floor would be fine by me.

Well, kids, if you've got that down, you can head on in to the Office of Residential Affairs and make your request official. It's not too bad right now since everyone's standing around talking out here.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Thank you!

*tips his hat to Scooter and looks at Harry* Let's make this as expedient as possible. *marches off toward the Office of Residential Affairs*

You're Welcome . . .

Scooter's rather more used to people demanding insstead of asking and complaining about what he's done for them instead of thanking him for his help, so he finds the young man's exquisite politeness a welcome change.
