Left to right order: Room 1: Skylar's Art Studio Room 2: Skylar's Room Room 3: Iselin and Kestrel's Room Room 4: Eik's Room
Common Room: The front door opens onto an open kitchenette and dining space with television and sitting area immediately to the right. leading towards Iselin and Kestrel's, as well as Eik's Room. To the left of the Kitchenette and Dining space, a shoe rack used predominantly by Skylar sits beside the door along with a washer and dryer beside that. Further along is a workbench for maintaining and repairing gear with simple tools and left over parts they may need. The two doors on this side lead to the spare room they had when Kestrel and Iselin decided to share a room, which Skylar took over as an art studio as well as the door to Skylar's own room.
The kitchenette lacks a pantry, though, They have a fridge, two-burner stove, an oven, microwave, dishwasher, and sink with cabinet space for a few dishes and other dry storage. On the counter sits a tea brewer and a rack of various teas. A step stool is stored in one of the counters so Skylar can reach higher shelves.
Skylar's Room: As one might be able to tell, Skylar likes the color blue quite a bit. However, entering her room, it becomes rather clear she also has some fascination with Mistral. She has a divider screen and Dresser, both in a Mistral style positioned to give her privacy from the doorway. And covering a large portion of every wall are various bits of art of or in the style of historic Mistral art that she made herself. She also keeps a step stool near her wardrobe so she can make use of higher up storage as well.
Iselin and Kestrel's Room: Iselin and Kestrel decided to bunk together, resulting in the bunk bed in one corner of the room. Across from it they have storage for clothing and a divider screen in front of the door for privacy. In the remaining corner sits a pair of desks. They have a small dance mat in the center of the room with a stereo nearby as well and have various trinkets scattered across the room. While the floor is a drab default tan-beige carpet, the gradient wall paper they put up livens up the room and the carpet actually compliments it quite well.
Eik's Room: Much like the occupant, Eik's room is fairly simple. In lieu of a bed, he has a mat and bundle of blankets on the floor with a desk nearby, dresser, some exercise equipment, and storage for various weapons and maintenance materials for his weapons, but is otherwise unadorned.
Studio: The Studio has multiple easels set up inside it with a couple racks for storing completed pieces until Skylar can sell them and spare canvases scattered about with a standing cabinet for storing her various other art supplies. Skylar also keeps a step stool near the cabinet so she can make use of higher up storage as well as better maneuver the paintings she stores a little higher up.

☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar was struggling with moving her stuff inside the room given her small frame. She'd managed to get some help from random students she passed by, but, they couldn't spare much time. But, finally, the last piece was inside the common room and from there...she wasn't really sure how to proceed. No one else was walking about the halls nearby anymore and she'd yet to meet any of her teammates yet. For now, she decided a break and shower would be the best course of action and hefted her suitcase of clothes into the room she'd picked out for herself as well as the bag of bathroom supplies. A few minutes later, she came out in a backless tank top and a pair of casual shorts and began rummaging through her things to find her tool set. Once she dug that out, she began disassembling the furniture as best she could. It was the only way she really had to move it on her own. The bigger pieces would shatter her bones if they fell on her after all.
It took a while, but, she managed to get it disassembled and got up, stretching as she decided to move her easels into the room beside hers for now as well as the storage shelves in pieces. They just needed them out of the way and they were too bulky for her to mess with for an extended time on her own. After that, she began hanging bits of her art up on the walls of her room and began working on moving the rest of her furniture in pieces into her room. Fortunately, she only had the desk, bed, and wardrobe to reassemble for the time being and started assembling them where she planned on keeping them so she didn't need to worry about rearranging them later. After what felt like an eternity, she was finally done and moved the rest of her things in before going into the common room and grabbing one of her cups, filling it with ice and water before flopping exhausted on the couch, closing her eyes a moment and just relaxing.

She had never thought about it, but Iselin didn’t have much in the way of personal belongings. When it came time to leave the orphanage, Iselin had managed to pack everything into a suitcase and a box of books. Granted, said suitcase was nearly as tall as she was. Still, it made for a rather convenient move in: Iselin clipped the belt to a suitcase and just dragged it along, with the box of books strapped on top.
It seemed someone had beat her there: the common room was open, with furniture-–or parts of furniture lying there. She wiped off her wheels before entering, and immediately noticed a winged faunus with beautiful dyed wings flopped on the couch. Iselin targeted her briefly with her semblance before choosing to make her presence known. ”Hello!” Iselin greeted softly, careful not to startle. “Moving is tiring work, huh?”
She smiled, before moving forward and taking off one of her gloves to shake hands in greeting. She gestured at the kitchenette, ”Hungry? I could try to make some snacks. And then we can take these shelves on together. Just let me put my stuff in an unclaimed room.”

☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar heard the door open but, remained where she was, just letting her muscles relax. After a moment or so, the person who entered spoke up and Skylar stretched her wings as she sat up. Bit of a reflex for her after leaning back in a seat."Ain't nothin next ta helpin on a farm. But, takes bit more muscle than I can muster ta do that kinda work.She paused a moment to sip some of her water and stood up, moving over to the table to set the glass down."I were jus takin a break. I got some heavier stuff an' most a my easels in the far room, but, I don't know if I can go liftin any of it again. I ain't really built fer liften. I'd probably go snappin my arm if I push it too much. We can wait an' see who shows up fer help. Name's Skylar, but, y'all can call me Sky if ya want. An' I ain't nothin special in tha kitchen, but, I wouln mind helpin out if ya want." Skylar had a deep southern drawl to her voice, which was a bit higher than most girls in pitch, but, she had a certain warmth to her tone and wore a bright smile as she spoke, neither seeming surprised by the wheels of the girl who had entered, nor insistent on doing things for her as she shook hands with perhaps an unexpectedly fir, grip, though her hand was soft. In regards to what Iselin's semblance would tell her, she'd see that the girl was fatigued, but had plenty of energy and, seemed to be a source of just general positivity.
Kestrel had not wasted time when it was given to them. Too curious to wait, she would walk towards where she was instructed to take her things; since they now had a team and a dorm. The avian faunus would quietly study the information that was sent to the scroll with casual curiosity as she did. "So, I get Wheels...Nice," Kes thought, glad she got someone on the team she had already met. It also had her feathers relaxing everywhere.
Getting down the dorm hallways, dolly with her steamer trunk with her, dark chocolate eyes look around before she would find their door. And from the sounds inside, it would seem two of the foursome was already in there. A casual smile played the tall girl's dark lips before she walked in. "Coming in," a deeper, alto female voice called, and as she walked in they would see the trunk was as big as Iselin in height. "Huh, they are so small," Kes absently thought; since she stood as lean and a few inches shy of six-feet. "I'm Kestrel Emberfeather, but you can call me Kes," Kestrel introduced herself to Skylar in a calm and casual tone and winked in greeting to Ise before looking around while the door closed behind her.

The older student replied warmly that moving in was nothing next to helping out on a farm, which brought an amused smile to Iselin’s face. Skylar introduced herself and what she had been working on, indicating she had moved most of her easels in ”Easels? Are you an artist?”
She turned towards the door as a familiar friend entered. Kestrel introduced herself, with a wink and Iselin grinned back.
”Kes! I was going to make snacks,” she remarked, undoing the belt tying her luggage to her and dragging it to a corner. She turned to the empty kitchenette only to realize they would probably need to get groceries. Oh well. She had a few ingredients…maybe she could roast a packet of peanuts..mix it in with raisins?
”We’ll see what I can manage. Any dietary restrictions?" she loooked around. "Which room did you take again, Skylar? And any room preferences, Kes?”

☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar blushed a small bit as the girl latched onto the easels, asking if she was an artist."Oh, I ain't nothin special there, but, yeah. Ain't got no clue where I get it from. Ain't none of my family been an artist an' I'm kinda self-taught. But, I earn some money off it here an there. Help my Ma pay fer help on the farm since I ain't really able ta do it myself."She looked up as another person entered, and she was an avian faunus as well! She nodded to her with a smile."Skylar, but, ya can call me Sky." She looked the girl over, honestly a bit jealous of her figure, but, before she could really go down that rabbit hole of a though, Iselin spoke up again, asking about where Skylar had set up as well as dietary restrictions. To which, she pointed to her room.
"Oh, I took that room over there. An' left most room's got some stuff in it I'm tryin ta sort out where ta put. The rooms along the back are the only ones got windows an, I just can't live in a space where I ain't never gonna see the sky. As fer food, ain't nothing particular, though, long as it ain't bitter an', ta be honest, I'm a bit of a baby when it comes ta sour an' spicy things. Ain't got much tolerance fer it. Maybe later, Kes an I can go get some stuff fer food. I can't cary more'n forty pounds or so with a pack before it starts slowin me down in flight, but, we keep it light an' it'll be pretty fast fer us ta n** ta town."

Kestrel was glad to have such a warm greeting from a familiar face and a new one. She noted that her new roommates were smaller than her previous ones; them being her siblings. "This shall be good," Kes thought with sincere excitement. "Pleasure, Sky. And awesome! I eat Almost anything, except beets. So long as I can have a window to open and enough room to stretch my wings, I should be good," Kes greeted to the other avian before replying to Iselin, wrinkling her nose when saying beets.
Then looking back to Sky on the question about shopping, Kes smiled. "We should be good on shopping travel then...just cannot do it at night," Kestrel said, referring to the events and rumors of the murders going on as of late. Looking back at Iselin. "She's so sweet. But, what is she thinking," Kes pondered before looking around. "You need us to head out for groceries now, or can it wait until after settling in," Kestrel asked, seeming genuinely content to do either at this moment...

Skylar replied humbly that she was self-taught and just painted on the side for help her ma pay for farm help. Iselin smiled warmly in response. "I'd love to see your work sometime. And I think it's very kind of you to support your family even while in school," she said. The idea of making money on the side sounded smart though--everything she had earned thus far had gone towards paying for supplies to construct Sidereal Stream and training. She didn't even want to count the small pittance she had in her pack now. Maybe she could pick up a part-time work...once the murder case settled down. Her job as a Huntress came first.
Iselin nodded as she dug out some nuts and raisins from her snacks and made sure her new roommates wouldn't be allergic to anything. Kes mentioned not going shopping at night and Iselin nodded, glancing outside. It was still quite early, but with even campus not being perfectly safe, she didn't want her faunus teammates to be anywhere near danger.
”It can wait. How about I'll mix this up into a trail mix for now, as long as neither of you are too hungry. We can settle in and unpack, grab dinner downstairs, and then do a group shopping run tomorrow morning for groceries and whatever else we might be missing.”
Plan proposed, Iselin found a bowl and rinsed it out, keeping an ear out for room decisions and thoughts.

☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar smiled a little at the compliment, moving over to a more open space of the room."I got a lot of it hangin on my wall right now. But, I weren't much use on the farm. Ain't never gonna be strong enough for farm work. Mostly, just did cleaning round the house. But, ain't really able ta fly up ta things or nothin ta clean."As she said that, she unfurled her wings to show just how large they were. Her body was dwarfed by them as they stood more than twice as wide as her body was tall."Ain't many places inside I can really make use of 'em."
She walked back over as Iselin started fishing out some things and checking with them and Kestrel questioned if they needed to do the shopping soon, though, brought up the current curfew in effect. Iselin though, seemed to be on Sky's own train of thought." Ain't no rush ta stock up. We got the cafeteria on campus and we can always bring a few things back if we think we're gonna need 'em."
Just then, the sound of something clattering against the wall came from her room and she muttered out"Nantekotta..."as she made her way to her room, leaving the door open. One of the mounts for one of the numerous paintings lining every wall had come loose, sending the painting crashing to the floor. Fortunately, it was an easy fix. If either of her teammates peeked in, they'd see furniture in the style of Mistral as well as dozens and dozens of paintings mounted on the walls all in a very distinct eastern style or depicting scenes from, what they could only guess, was Mistral.
Eik's arrival at Beacon had been a smooth one, all appropriate paperwork had been previously dealt with prior to his arrival, so all he had to do was check in with the administration, receive his class schedule, and uniform. He was then handed a key to the dorm, and instructed that rather than be forming a team as was customary, he had already been assigned to one, Team ARES. He was told he would be likely to meet his teammates if he went to the dorm now, as everyone should be in the process of moving in. He thanked the administration, before checking the map of the area to find where his dorm was. His sense of direction was near infallible, and he needed only glance at the map.
Alone with his belongings, everything he had fit neatly into a large backpack and an over the shoulder Athletics bag. He found the dorm easily and it appeared that the door was unlocked. He heard voices within. He knocked solidly on the door before entering. Upon his entrance, he was met by three young women, two of which had wings, and the third appeared to not have legs. A legless warrior? Apparently the world was stranger than he knew. He smiled warmly. " Hello. I am Eik, and I have been assigned to team ARES, it is a pleasure to meet you all."
To the girls, the new arrival was tall, standing at least a full foot over Kestrel. His shoulders were broad, and his obviously fit, lean muscle rippled under his shirt. His head was shaven smooth on the back and sides, leaving wavy brown hair swept back along the top, and his eyes were also a warm brown. his skin was weathered and tan like someone who spent a deal of time outside. He was dressed in a simple outfit, jeans and a grey T'shirt, with his normal brown boots. A chain of Ink wrapped from his left wrist up his arm and disappeared under his sleeve. On his right, jagged lines of ink showed on his bicep, just under the sleeve. A single scar marred his face, gouging through his right eyebrow, having narrowly missed his eye.
OOC: Sorry about the wait. Like ive stated, sleep deprivation makes it hard to focus sometimes.

Kestrel looked from Ise to Skylar and back as they responded to he inquiry. Sky's mention of the cafeteria was fairly reasonable and Iselin's answer of not going today confirmed it. Nodding in agreement to them both, she walked in further with her trunk of belongings. "Guess we can wait," Kes thought with a smile. "Sounds like a plan to me," Kes replied aloud before looking to Skylar. "Nan-what??" Kestrel tried to repeat, never hearing such a strange word in her life.
Before she could get an answer from the other avian though, her attention would be drawn to the sound of a knob turning. In the doorway before them all was a Goliath of a male, even towering over her. "Woooow," Kes thought, her dark chocolate eyes scanning from his feet up and up to the young man's brunet hair and eyes, quietly noting a scar at the eyebrow before meeting his eyes once more. "Name's Kestrel. Pleased to meet the last member of the team," Kestrel greeted. The tall avian faunus would then walk to check out the room across from them. She wasn't trying to be rude, she just wanted to put her things away. "Hey, Ise, you wanna share this one...It's got a bunk bed," Kestrel called over her shoulder when she found the second windowed room and a bunk bed. "If she does, I get top," Kes thought, already deciding as she waited for a response.
☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar returned shortly after fixing her painting and rubbed the back of her head a little nervously."Sorry, I ain't too keen on swearin in front o' folks. So, I kinda try ta stick to my Pa's language. He were real young when Mistral fell, but, he and my Nana are from there. So, I picked up how ta speak the language. Most of our community is refugees an' mostly from Mistral or their children. So, I kinda grew up speakin another language. Don't worry none bout the meanin o' what I just said."
Just then, a knock came at the door, but, before anyone could respond or go check, it opened up, revealing a very tall and muscular guy who introduced himself as Eik."What in the world are they feedin the boys round here?! I ain't all that small...an still feelin like I'm a kid next ta half the guys around here." Honestly, she was pretty small comparatively and, if any of them felt how much she weighed, unusually light even for her size."Ahh,,,Sorry, I weren't expectin someone yer size. I weren't tryin ta be rude or nothin!" She bowed to him as she apologized."My name's Skylar, but, y'all can go an' call me sky if ya want. Nice ta meet ya. I...Guess I'm the team leader? Though, I don't reckon that means all that much. I ain't never led no one before an' I've made a few bad mistakes...But, hope we can all live an' work well together, so, don't hesitate ta say sometin if ya got an idea or questions."
She shifted about a little, seeming a bit nervous now. "Eik? I ain't expectin nothing nor does it need ta happen before ya get settled in or nothin, but, I ain't really good at liftin stuff. Ain't that strong an' my bones aint as sturdy as most folks'. Do ya think you could help me with some o' my stuff. It's in the room on the far left. Less they're gonna be sharin a room, I'm gonna have ta move that stuff around, if not, I'm gonna set up in the extra room an' it's a bit on the bulky side. I know ya just got here an' I ain't one fer rushin people so, I don't mind waitin if ya want a couple days ta settle in or somethin."
