JUST CALL ME FRENCHY WHERE: Dorm Room A-1 WHEN: A few hours before the Halloween Party WHO: Basia Hartington (Gateway) and Danica Moor (Conduit) WHAT: Getting read for the party and piercing Basia's ears

Dani had learned a lot of interesting things, during the time she spent with ‘the old gang’. One of the more harmless things was how to pierce ears. One of her friends had done her ears, way back when, and she had done a couple of the other girls since. This was the first time she had done it since coming to Sidekick Academy, however. At least this time she had proper piercing needles, which were a big step up from safety pins. When Basia had shown Dani her Halloween costume the redhead had insisted that she needed pierced ears to properly complete the look.
“Alright. Just keep holding that icecube to your ear and come sit over here. It will be easier if you lie down.” She had placed a couple of towels on the bed, more for the water dripping from the melting ice cube than for any blood, which in her experience there was usually very little of. Dani was sitting on the edge of the bed, sterilizing the needle, with a pair of good quality earrings sitting ready on the chair she was using as a makeshift table. She had already made a little marker dot on each ear, so she wouldn’t have to worry about making sure the holes line up in the middle of everything else.
Sorry XP . This is not the greatest opening post of all time. I had to write it in a bit of a rush, but I didn't want to delay getting this started any longer!
Piercing her ears had never really been something Basia had thought about, in fact until Dani had explained and showed her what it was she was talking about, Basia had been clueless. Ears weren’t exactly the first thing she looked at when she looked at someone, and back when she was with her mom her eyes were always down cast so no one would notice her eyes. Now it seemed like piercing her ears would go very well with her costume and Dani seemed to be fully equipped to do such a thing in their dorm room. Basia had decided that why not? Earrings looked fun to have, and it was another step into the unknown that she was trying to uncover. She saw it as a sign that she was growing up, shedding her old life and coming into her new one, or at least this was part of that.
Basia had already been sitting on the ground, so she opened up a portal beside her and stretched out her legs into it until she left the bed to scout on it and lay down. She was having trouble holding the ice cube since it was melting all over her, it slipped a few times but for the most part Basia felt it was doing its job, she couldn’t feel a thing. “Is it going to hurt?” Of course it was going to hurt to some degree, but she had felt the need to ask anyways. That was why she was holding the ice cube to her ear now. “How many times have you done this?”
