[OOC: Heyo Team 14, as of yet unnamed haha, I just created this thread since it'll probably be the most organized way to rp our characters' meet and greet and settling into their new room (which we all seem to agree upon what it looks like which makes everything nicer~~). So I guess we'll just use this when we're ready? roll call~]

(Lemme know if I'm doing this right!)
Lee didn't have many belongings when he died. Really, all he came with that actually mattered to him was his headband, and his Prehistoric Disco party t-shirt. However he had managed to be able to grab a few things when he went back down to the living world, small things that he knew Nicky wouldn't notice missing and he opened the door to his new room, his team room.
".... Is anyone else here yet?" He called in tentatively and dropped his bag by the door. He was going to step in but he stopped, "Should... should I take off my shoes?" He wasn't narrating to anyone just mostly-- himself.

(you're doing great ^^)
A shadow fell as a tall man stepped up beside Lee. Heng grunted in greeting, and bowed his head briefly. This man he's met before, that day with the laundry. "I believe that it'd be polite to do so," he said, voice low.
Heng looked into the new room. He's lost count of how many times he's switched rooms over the centuries upon centuries he's served Death. This one looked nicer than his last (which had so many neon lights. So many). He took off his boots and propped his Ji up against the wall, taking a step in. It smelled of nutmeg. The fireplace was already on, and the surroundings were cast in a warm glow. Heng walked over to the large window. Stunning. He smiled. "Thank the Heavens there aren't neon lights," he grumbled.

((Rid/Eilis reporting~!!! By the way, you are doing just swimmingly.))
"Great... already..." Eilis couldn't believe she had already been reassigned to a new team. It hadn't even been twenty four hours since her newly former teammates passing... No, murder. The woman stomped furously, after her most recent breakdown had subsided, with a few things in hand; a stuffed animal, an old fashion messenger bag with medical and tailoring supplies, and a small variety of other things. What was to come with his new group? Were they going to abandon her in the same ways as the others... was any of this even worth it?
Moment after moment, Eilis fought the urge to just yell... scream... punch something... Really, to do anything. The strange feeling of a gritted nerves wash over her as the woman came to the entrance of her room. A man stood in the door way, but this hadn't stopped the persistent woman to enter, with this letting the sweet aroma to smack into her. "Mmmm..." With a smile, Eilis continued to sniff the air, while ignoring all around her. It was as if all worries were cleansed.

It seemed that Neve was late to the rendezvous as she made her way down to her new room. She had been reassigned after a solid decade with her old team and she was quite apprehensive of who would make up "Team 14", as the called it. Neve walked without hurry, holding her old suitcase in her hand as she made her way to the door. She squeezed between the space that the other gal left as she entered prior, eagerly taking in the beautiful room. It was home.
Clearing her throat, Neve decided she would be the one to initiate the introductions. "Hello, I am Neve. I will be working with you." She gave a warm, albeit uncomfortable smile at everyone before awkwardly setting her suitcase down.

By the time Heng turned around, two people that he didn't recognize had already entered the room. He hoped they took their shoes off at the entrance. One of them, the one with long brown hair seemed to be in a world of her own. Heng wasn't sure if she'd even hear him if he addressed her. The other was a responsible looking type.
Heng bowed from his waist quickly in greeting.
"This is all four of us then," Heng replied, looking around. "My name is Qu Heng. Please call me Heng. It is an honour to be a part of this new team. May we all get along," he announced.

He recognized Heng as well, from laundry and he just pointed with the noise of, "Eeeeyyy." Which was close enough to a greeting. He made sure to slip his shoes off-- and it was quite simple really they were slip ons after all and seeing the beds and that they were BUNK He immediately made a mad dash for the top bunk, hurling his small bag up there with a "HA HAA!!"
His bag bounced off the ceiling and onto the bed to "dibs" it and then he turned around when he saw two ladies at the door.
And then his ears turned red.
Did they have to share a room? WERE THEY SHARING A ROOM? He eyed the other beds and counting 3 more he looked to the ladies.
".... Uh-- I'm Lee." he rubbed the back of his neck, looking sheepish with a hand in his back pocket, "Looks like we're gonna be roomies?"

The aromas still caused her heart to race but put her mind at ease. One... two... then a third voice pulled her from her la la land space out. All had introduced themselves and probably waiting for her to do the same. Without a word to spill, her boots were pulled off at the fireplace, seeing as the men had taken them off at the door, and placed them back at the door. "I'll keep in mind of this next time..." She spoke hushed but still understandable.
Eilis then went quite again to toss her bag on the floor infront of the window to wait for the other to claim beds. Honestly, the idea of co-ed rooms or even sleeping under the opposite ge der didnt phase her. With how long Eilis had been here, it felt... normal. The woman's body turned facing them all showing her eyes swollen and blood shot. With a simple wave, she smiled as much as possible given the moment. "I'm Eilis. It's nice to meet you all." Two men and two women... seemed legit and a pattern among the groups she knew. "I hope we can find something in common, between us. If you ever need a patch work, your body or clothes, I'm happy to help." Eilis turned quickly, not to be rude but to stop the others from the random cry she felt was going to happen... Luckily, a single tear fell and nothing else. Eilis quickly wiped it away to turn her head only enough to analyse each person.

Heng gave them all a quick smile, then walked over to the bed stationed under Lee's.
"I suppose I'll take this one, if no one has any opposition?" he said, patting it. He had a noticeable lack of possessions, which was surprising considering how long he's been an Apprentice. During life he was a peasant, so he hadn't many material possessions anyways, and even after death he was never sentimental enough to carry memorabilia with him, nor did he find that he needed much either. Some clothes and his Ji, that's all he needed to serve his duty.
He turned to Eilis. "Thank you for offering your help in such matters," he acknowledged, before looking over at Lee. "Are you cold?" he asked Lee upon seeing his red ears.

"Ah-- No I'm good..." Lee said and pushed his already short sleeves up over his elbows before he nodded to Ellis, "Oh, cool okay. Thanks for letting us know." he said and he looked between them all, "Uhh...."
What useful skills DID HE EVEN HAVE In a team setting?
"If you guys need your... uh, weapons shined or something I guess I could do that." He shrugged looking a bit puzzled at himself, "I mean like I can make a really good cup of coffee too but hell I was a black smith in New York." And now he was babbling and he looked around the room, "Are these things like.... pre-decorated or something?"

Hearing one of the men claim a bed, she just shook her head with no other comment while towards the other just giggled a bit as he kept babbling on. It reminded her a but of her brother... which was quite a lovely change to have to deal with. "Hope you all don't mind..." Her voice softly rang. Eilis picked up a few of her things and placed them in areas around the room; on the lower bed bunk across the room from the guys, on the little night stand, and on the window seal, with that stunning veiw. It was breath taking; her last room didn't have a veiw at all, let alone have a window. "Maybe the room theme is just chosen after a deep exploration of everyone's past to make it feel a little like... home?" Eilis turned with a shrug.
"So..." Where to go with this? Eilis stopped to draw in a breath. "What shall we call our little gang..."

Heng shook his head.
"I hope that the rooms are not arranged according to our innermost beings, as my last room was covered wall to wall in neon lights. My 'deep past' as you put it would not allow such atrocities," Heng said jokingly. Yes, the old man can joke around a bit. He hoped he did not come off sounding stern (he totally did).
"...This room is very nice, however. I am glad that none of your deep pasts contained those odd decades in the USA leading up to the twenty first century," Heng added after a moment.
He looked around at everyone again. He always let the others pick a team name, for such things didn't really matter to him. He couldn't even remember what his last team was called.
He waited for someone else to keep the name conversation going, and took a seat on his bed.

Lee snorted at Heng, and grinned to Eilis, "Yeah i'm with Heng on this, I'm sure if our innermost selves reflected a room, mine would--" he paused, thinking about it, "I guess it'd look like a dino-feudal Japan kind thing."
That made him look into the distance, "With Samurai Dinosaurs..." he whispered. If only.
Hoisting himself up into the top bunk he hung his body over the edge "So.... if I'm not mistake you guys are from... Different times right?" he asked looking among everyone in the room, "I mean like I literally got here like, a month ago so I'm pretty up to date."

((late to the party dangit))
As everyone claimed their bunks, Neve put her suitcase on the top bed before moving near the door to remove her shoes. They all seemed like lovely, albeit strange, people and she was glad to be working working with them. She kept relatively silent, choosing to observe before needlessly talking. She was smiling though, they were all so funny.
She pulled a small basket from her case before putting it by the fireplace, her designated knitting spot. "My 'inner self' room would be full of yarn." She gestured to her little basket before smiling a little.
Looking up at Lee, she have a nod. "I came from the early 19th century. "

"I hail from before what Westerners call the 'Birth of Christ'," Heng grunted. "The late Warring States period in Ancient China... around 200BC? Or BCE, as I'm often told now," he added.
Saying it out loud made him feel very tired. Well, more of an exhaustion, not physical nor mental really. Just an... exhaustion. He shook his head slightly, clearing up.
