[She's not talking to anyone. She's not even fully aware of who else is in the room (a library computer lab). She's focused on the disaster in front of her.
It's the printer, the really nice one with a million settings and trays. It's currently flashing, beeping, and making agonized squealing noises as it tries to print through a paper jam.
Kaydel has many talents. Fixing electronics is not one of them.]
[Takes weird liberal art classes and a lot of biology, has not picked a major, is just psyched to be there honestly. Crosscanon/further auing/assumed cr, ship or gen, all good! General faves:
A: 1 (that's it that's her life), 3, 4 (this is actually the most ic thing I've ever read), 5, 6 B: 1, 3, 7 C: 2 (!!), 3, 5, 6, 10 (she could SWIM, or FENCE, or play TENNIS, or like, skiing), 11 D: 1 (she will always, Always say yes), 3, 4, 5, 8 E: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8]
⟪ it's finals season, and there's just no studying to be done in flora's shitty, entirely not noise-resistant cupboard of a flat. could be worse, though, she's smuggled enough snacks into the library to feed a battalion, she's got her books, she's got her third-hand laptop. it's dark out, it's been raining all day, and she's not really noticed just how far time had gotten away from her. this is kind of her ideal waking time, anyway. fox clock and all.
there's someone else in the library still, a guy she's seen before in the music theory class she takes because really, she doesn't exactly know what she wants to major in, and music theory had sounded fun (it was mostly confusing). blue hair, always wears a mask. seems super friendly though, just from what she's seen of him in class!
so... maybe her plan had been to take a quick pee break, get back to her desk, and maybe... move some of her stuff a little closer to the desk sal's studying at, because maybe then they can chat and maybe that means she'll manage to make a college friend!
nice theory. instead of that, she returns from the washroom, takes a detour through the stacks, and is smack-dab faced with a ghost manifesting itself inside out and then human and visibly murdered, and the blood-curdling scream that escapes her is... it's equal part fox and equal parts human. ⟫
Ghost!
⟪ flora stumbles out from between the shelves, visibly shaken. help? ⟫
( Completely enthralled with the Ph.D. she is pursuing in Anthropology and Linguistics. The cool TA, until an undergrad expects her to suffer foolishness. When she isn't working on her dissertation in the main library, she's in her broom closet of an office located in the College of Social Sciences building, helping her students to research and study. Lives in a hoodie and has a penchant for staying on campus too long. Still suffers bouts of intense homesickness even though she's years into her academic career and generally avoids being alone. Rumored to have broken the boiler in her college's building. )
[ There's, like -- a nonzero chance that she's not even an enrolled student and is using literal magic to keep everyone from realizing that she's living in the library basement and attending classes without having so much as applied. She is, however, more or less a theater major. ]
