"They must either be very trusting or very stupid," Carrie said, toting her bag through the door. She turned back around to face Erika and said, "I'm not exactly clear on the rules concerning the different houses, but as far as I'm concerned you're welcome to come in."

"Thanks," she said, entering behind Carrie. "I think it's accepted, but whatever. No one really cares about those rules anyway." She looked around the room. "Hm, it's different than the Fire dorms, but still cool."

"Hmm, not too shabby," Carrie said, looking around the common room with approval. She paused to set her bag down on a random chair and opened it up. She dug through her stuff, then resurfaced with a piece of paper. She re-shut the bag and examined the paper. "Okay.. Earth House, Dorm 8."

Erika plopped down on a chair and shrugged at Carrie. "I'm guessing it's up the staircase."

Carrie turned to see the indicated staircase, and said, "Huh, I guess so. Well, I'll be right back, then." She lifted her bag again and headed up the stairs. For a few minutes the only sound was that of her heels on the stairs, and then presumably the floor above. And then there was an ear-splitting shriek.

Erika sighed. "Oh, crap. What'd she do?" She hurried up to her new friend. "What the hell happened?"

Carrie had apparently dropped her bag on the floor of Dorm 8, among several other, larger bags that matched it. When she turned to face Erika her expression was one of complete horror, as though someone had just killed her favorite puppy right in front of her. "Oh my God - please tell me that is not the closet," she said, sounding panicked as she pointed wildly at the open door behind her, which revealed an extremely small hanging space and one shelf.

Erika looked past Carrie and laughed. "Seriously? That's it?" she managed to say through her laughter. "Oh, god. Remind me never to show you my old place... You'd die of a heart attack on the spot." She took her time to stop laughing. "Sorry, I thought it was more pressing than closet space. Like, I don't know, a dead body."

Looking pained, Carrie turned back to the closet, ducking down slightly to step inside it and knock disbelievingly on the back wall. "Great, just great - I got the Narnia, now where's the wardrobe?" She backed away from it in despair, sitting down on the bed heavily. "I could barely fit my shoes in there!"

"Wow," Erika said. She went up behind Carrie and peeked over her shoulder. "I could fit like... at least two of my wardrobes in here... You must have a lot of shoes..."

"Half of this," Carrie said, indicating all her bags, "is shoes. And not even all of them - I left some at home in case of an emergency."

Erika's jaw dropped. "Holy... shit. You have got to be kidding me. I think you're got more shoes than there are days in a year...."

Carrie sighed dreamily and said, "I wish.. Some of the space is taken up by their boxes, though - I didn't have the heart to just cram them all in together. All together, I think there's about fifty pairs here. Not all designer, though - I'm not that spoiled. A lot of them are from generic stores that just caught my eye and seemed to have a lot of potential."

"Still," Erika said. "I've got like ten at most and I thought that was a little extreme." She sighed and sat on one of the beds in the room. "I've always been a dress person.. I've got at least twenty."

Carrie smiled and said, "Shoes have always been an obsession of mine, but I do love mixing and matching things to make new and fabulous outfits to go with the shoes."

"Yeah, all my shoes match all of my outfits," Erika said. "I go for practical more often than fashionable."
