Teddy looked over when the door opened. He'd drifted off for a second and wasn't really paying attention until the man answered the door. The man who answered the door sounded very friendly. He didn't know the man, but then again Teddy didn't really hang out with any of the staff here. He was still a little to young for any of that stuff.

Kara quickly came back to where he was standing. He waited for a second for her to compose herself again and when she gave a slight chuckle he smiled and chuckled back. "No. Not at all huh?" After a slight pause he said, "Well, the front desk is that way." Teddy pointed down the hallway, in the same direction that they were already going. At the very end of the hallway he could see the front doors of the building.

"Shall we?" was all Teddy said when it came to heading towards the front desk. If he remembered right from when he came here there was a lot of paperwork to fill out, unless they'd changed their process.

>>"No, not at all, huh?"

Kara started to chuckle, then burst out laughing. She didn't even know why, all she knew was that she found the statement absolutely hilarious.

"I'm s--sorry," she apologized between laughs, then resumed her hysterics.

>>"Well, the front desk is that way. Shall we?"

She glanced down the hallway where he was pointing, her laughter petering out and dying, replaced with an ominous sense of dread. More people of authority? More torture?

She shrank back a little ways, murmuring, "I--I don't...know...m--maybe I should...just...um...get my stuff together...now..."

"I--I don't...know...m--maybe I should...just...um...get my stuff together...now..."

Teddy looked at her a little confused. "Don't be silly. There's no reason to do that. I'm sure whoever is working at the front desk to day is nice. Just like that guy was." Ted tried to reassure her. He didn't really know what to say but there was no reason for her to think that she should just get her stuff and leave.

Besides if she was this jumpy about meeting the nice people in mansion what was she going to do when she went outside the comfy mansion. Teddy was certainly a little bias towards the mansion but that was mainly because he didn't have anywhere else to go. His parents, as much as they loved him, wouldn't let him come home until he knew how to control his powers better. That and he was shy enough already, he didn't really need to be worrying about living on his own at 17. "Come on...I'll show you the way." He tried to giver he a comforting smile, but in all actuality it probably turned out to look like nothing more than a weird face.

Kara glanced at his face (specifically his very weird smile), then back down the hallway, then back towards her (kind of) dorm room.

It would certainly be easier to just go back and not deal with anyone.

Alternatively, she could just suck it up, take some stranger's advice, and do it.

Besides, Ted was more or less right. The two people she'd met so far were pretty nice. (Her brain kept reminding her that two events did not signify a trend, but she ignored that)

"Okay, fine," she muttered. "But...let's...not take too long."

"Okay, fine. But...let's...not take too long."

Ted was glad that she was going along with this. "I don't think it'll take to long." He started to walk down the hallway towards the front desk, where the receptionist was. There was, oddly, no one around as they walked. For a school you think it would have been a little more busy. However, he supposed that the lack of people around would be a good thing for Kara. She was still pretty nervous about being out and about in this place.

Maybe she'd get more used to it as she lived at the mansion longer. It didn't take them long before they were at the front desk. There was a nice looking lady sitting there. She had some paper on her desk that she was rifling through, a phone and a computer in the corner of her desk. She looked up when Teddy and Kara approached her.

"Hi there. Can I help you? The nice and friendly looking lady said to them.

"I'm already a student here; but my friend Kara, is new and needs to fill out some paperwork." He stated to the lady. She looked at Kara and pulled out some papers. The receptionist then offered her a seat in front of her desk as she pulled out some papers from inside the desk.

Kara hesitated for a few more seconds as Ted went walking down the hallway, mentally wrestling with her dilemma. Finally, she began following him, but at a distance, like a resentful but nonetheless obedient puppy.

As they walked down the hallway of the school, she noticed something: they were alone. The hallways were almost totally devoid of life. It was...weird. On one hand, she definitely would have had a panic attack of some kind if they were more alive, so it was nice that they weren't. But on the other hand, this place was nothing like she expected. Being fair, she had no idea what she expected on the way here, but she knew she expected it to be less...dead. She expected students and teachers halfheartedly making their way to their classes, cliques and groupies that would be assembling in the passing periods, etc.

Their arrival the the mysterious and threatening Front Desk interrupted her thoughts and brought her back to reality.

"Hi there. Can I help you?"

>>"I'm already a student here; but my friend Kara, is new and needs to fill out some paperwork."

Kara immediately and instinctively shrunk away at the mention of her name, but then felt a sudden warm, fuzzy feeling at the word 'friend', before finally scampering back to the seat by the front desk when the paperwork hit the counter. Immediately, and with much fervor, she snatched the nearest pen out of a cup and began reading over the forms. Then she immediately paused.

The forms happened to be for New Student Registration.

"I...um...I'm al--already registered. I just...need to check in," she stuttered.

"Oh. Okay. Let me just...take those back," the receptionist muttered, sliding the papers back into their place and providing a new, smaller assortment of paperwork.

After skimming through it and filling the appropriate boxes in a matter of seconds (Kara had become very good with paperwork over the years), she handed the papers back to the receptionist, who spent a little under a minute typing something on the computer. Finally, she produced a key from a drawer and handed it to Kara with a quick, friendly, "Your room is 283. Here's the key. Have a nice day!"

Grabbing the key with a soft grin, she turned to Ted and asked, "You wanna help me move? M--My stuff, that is..."

Teddy stood in the back ground while Kara and the lady filled out paperwork. It didn't take to long for her to finish withy the paperwork, which he was glad of, but once she was done Kara was assigned a room. It wasn't the room that she currently had all her stuff in. She turned to Ted and asked for his help.

"Sure. I'll help you move your stuff. Let's go get it." Teddy responded. He then looked at the lady behind the desk and said, "Thanks Ma'am." He waited for her to be ready to go. When she was, the two teens left the front desk and went to start the process of moving.
