Rushing Waters Bring Me Here (OPEN)

Jocellyn paced quietly, both hands gripping a black leather suitcase, which thumped on her knees every time she took a step. Rain was dripping around her, but the peculiary looking teenager, her mouth wrapped with bandages, tied in a neat bow behind her neck, did seen to care very much. Shinning earphone with the popular lightened up cat ears poke over her head, pumping electronic music to a danger level in her ears. In the rest, she looking usual, nothign special. Gray-blonde hair and dry-brown eyes, pale skin.

The Initiate was halfway up the steps to the entrance, her trainers making flapping sounds with each step on the water covered stairs, but the girl lost footing, and she flapped her hands up, hoping the grasp something a she fell down.

Sarika was sitting on a pillar, listening to music. She was trying to meditate in different conditions than she was used to, and her "radar" kept getting set off, but that was good. An initiate she didn't know 'You don't know any initiates,' slipped on the rain in front of her. 'I guess I have to help, huh...whelp, I'll try I guess.' Sari hopped down from her pillar in a cat-like manner, summoning and hugging Shadow for reassurance (and because Jocellyn hat cat ears like Sari had to normally hide).
"You okay hon? The rain seems to hate everyone today." Sari tried a small smile, hoping it didn't look creepy. She never was very social. "I like your ears, by the way..."
(Shadow, just in case you were wondering)

Jocellyn landed on the ground, the hit sending a creeping pain in her back that rendered her breathles for a few seconds. She urged herself to get back up and pick up her suitcase from he ground, now bearing mud on it's once gleaming clean leather body. She blinked at the girl awkwardly, girl she hadn't noticed before and she gripped her luggage right, forcing a nod to her question. The she moved a pale hand up to her bandaged mouth, holding it over the white material.

I-C-A-N-T-S-P-E-A-K


Her hands arose in complicate movements that made out the letters and eventually the words she had excuse herself with to everyone in her life.

'Huh, I guess the bandages make sense...' Sari recalled her knowledge of sign language, and placed Shadow around her shoulders.
I-U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D
W-H-A-T-I-S-Y-O-U-R-N-A-M-E
Sari was at least determined to make this girl comfortable at Beata, and Sari never (easily) backed down from helping others. Unless they were jerks. 'But I'm sure she isn't, anyway.'

Jocellyn was honestly surprised to find someone that understood her sign languege, in a manner of speaking it back to her, instead of forcing her to turn down her music and listen to their annoying ramble of peole who thought they were to important to care about how now talking made her feel.

J-O-C-E-L-L-Y-N
Y-O-U-?

Her suitcase was now abandonned next to the pillar on which she was leaning, her hands folded over her chest as she looked at the girl, her eyes big with interest.

Sarika was honestly happy to see that Jocellyn continued to "speak" with her.
S-A-R-I-K-A
N-I-C-E-T-O-M-E-E-T-Y-O-U
The rain was now a light sprinkle, which was good - maybe Sari could become friends with Jocellyn, she seems like she is as interested in music as Sari was...

Jocellyn smiled from under her curtain of bandages that covered her mouth, thing that Sarika might have hopefully seen. She was glad to have run into Sarika knstead of any other student, mostly because she seemed like a loner and a rejected person as well. But despite how much Jocellyn wkshed to talk with the girl, she needed to got tk the dlrms and maybe charge her headphones, sknce letting them get depleted was honesyly a bad thing. She stroked the cat's head from around Sarika's shoulders, then before picking up her suitcase she formed words again with her small hands.

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-E-D-O-R-M-S-?

Sarika was honestly surprised Jocellyn wanted to pet Shadow, but Sari just put it off as not knowing about her. Recalling back to when she was a newbie at Beata, she looked up at Jocellyn and signed
O-F-C-O-U-R-S-E-T-H-I-S-W-A-Y
Sari walked up the stairs slowly, making sure Shadow was comfortable and Jocellyn was following her, before she set off in a *slightly* quicker pace, leading Jocellyn through the halls with ease before stopping in front of the initiate dorm's door.
D-O-N-T-B-E-A-S-T-R-A-N-G-E-R
Sari smiled at Jocellyn, hoping things wouldn't get awkward. Awkward was bad. Sari just felt like it would be rude to walk off, and Jocellyn might sign something back...?

Jocellyn follow the girl quickly, not wanting to be left behind and give any weirdo student the sensation that she was lost and looking for help to get somewhere, when she alreafy had the help, a help moving rather fast, but oh well. When they reached the door, the teenager looked at her friend and for an awkward moment, she didn't know what to do either. So she gave Sarika a big hug, then she opened the door and entered the dorm, giving the girl one last look.
