"Ooo, thank you thank you thank you!" Carrie exclaimed, giving Erika a quick, impulsive hug.

Erika hugged her back, laughing. "Hey, I've been dealing with people basically my entire life. I think I've got connections for just about everything." She pulled back. "I'll try and get them for you as soon as I can."

"Excellent! You are totally saving my life here." Carrie picked up her travel case and asked, "Want to help me navigate this place to the Earth dorms? I'm bound to get lost. I guess they shipped the rest of my stuff ahead - they said it would be in my room when I got here."

"Yeah, no problem. It's not like I've got anything else to do," Erika said. "Helping ou tthe new kids is way more important than classes." She laughed and headed back into the building. "Let's go."

Carrie grinned and followed Erika inside. She looked around as they entered and raised an eyebrow. "Very nice. I could totally get used to this place. I mean, the townhouse back in Manhattan isn't anything to turn your nose up at, but it's not a castle."

"Yeah, I still don't believe I live here," Erika said. "And for practically nothing. It's a little scary at times." She kept looking around to find certain things to direct her to the Earth dorms.

"What's the most, ah- magical thing you've seen here?" Carrie asked, leaning over to reference the map.

"Good question," Erika said. "I think that would be any time I see kids showing off between classes. You see all kinds of crazy stuff then."

"Who has the weirdest power?" Carrie asked curiously. The whole magic thing was still a new and fascinating idea to her.

"Mine's pretty unique, but I dunno," Erika said. "But then there's shapeshifters, telepaths, and I think there's a vampire." She smiled involuntarily when she mentioned the vampires, but tried to cover it. "I see something new everyday."

"Vampires?" Carrie asked, raising both eyebrows and looking impressed. "If any of them look like Brad Pitt, then I could definitely get used to this place."

"I'm pretty sure all the guys here are on the same level, if not better, than Brad Pitt," Erika said, smiling.

Carrie gave a little excited squeal. "Ex-cel-lent!"

Erika laughed. "Just be careful. I'm pretty sure most of them are taken. But looking's not illegal yet." She stopped in the hallway they were in and looked around, knowing the entrance was close. "The only single guy I know is a little.... distressed at the moment, so he's not really worth considering. I'm sure you can find someone though."
((Yeah, if we're getting rid of characters, we need more guys....))

[Lol, yeah]
"And boy, do I love to look. Okay, this is ridiculous - the map says the entry should be around here, and I don't see any doors."

Erika laughs then looks around the hallway. She sees statues, paintings, and tapestries, but no doors. "Damn, it could be any one of these things... Lever on a statue, opening behind a painting, secret button behind a tapestry.... You got any guesses?"

"Are you serious? Hidden doors? I can't decide if that's awesome or cheesy." Carrie considered each item carefully, then finally came to stand in front of a tapestry showing people dancing around a huge tree. "Well, this one has a tree, and it's the Earth house.. My best guess is this one."

"I'd say that's a pretty good guess," Erika said, coming to stand in front of it. She tilted her head to the side. "It almost looks like that knot in the center of the tree is 3D.."

Carrie moved closer and peered at the knot closely, squinting slightly. She reached up tentatively and pressed the knot, and suddenly the tapestry sprang to life and rolled itself up, causing Carrie to leap back with a surprised yelp. She still wasn't used to all this magic. Behind the tapestry, sure enough, was the doorway.

Erika laughed and looked through the doorway. "Well, whatdya know? You think they would have made it a tiny bit harder... You know, put in a riddle or something..."
