Jiji would walk into the pod and plop down on the sofa before beginning to stare up at the ceiling with a devious grin on her face. The young girl's room had already been unpacked as she had been living here for a while.

Aaron's parents have a nice house in Chicago! However, it was decided when it was time for Aaron to begin his official Paradigm training that living in the pods was a vital part of the experience, especially since he was still getting regular education, too. He's not a new agent, and in fact his roommates had moved out of this pod to make room for the newest batch - how lucky for young Mr. Silverman, huh.

Mike and Ji-Eun might have noticed one of the bathroom doors shrouded in a pitch black cloud, and through it the sound of a shower running and someone humming the Ave Maria.

Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Sean's already unpacked and busy messing around making food in the kitchen.

Mike paid no heed to the shower of mystery of the child! They weren't bothering anyone right now, so they were fine.

Jiji turned in the sofa to stare at Sean as he made food. "You're making food for everyone right?" she asked as her eyes shifted towards him.

Sean looks over his shoulder at the voice. He hadn't really planned on it, but...

"Is that your way of asking?"

He shrugs lightly, never having been a fan of putting back open pasta he had cooked the entire box of spaghetti.

"Either way, there's plenty."

Jiji nodded. "Yes it was my way of asking. .. after all you're practically the den mother here," she hummed while watching the pasta in the pot from the couch.

"Mhmm."

Sean just takes note of the comment but doesn't say anything.

She glanced at the dark shadowy door of doom that use to be the bathroom. "Is he going to go all Disney villain everytime he goes to the bathroom?"

The water stops and after a few minutes the black cloud leaves a clean bathroom and heads for one of the corner bedrooms! The cloud disappears, and eventually Aaron comes out, dressed but still drying his hair with a towel. The smell, and the conversation he hears, draw him to the kitchen!

"Something smells good." He looks around at the others there, trying not to interrupt or be in the way. He recognises Sean - as someone he knows of more than actually knowing - and gives him a wave if acknowledged! He assumes the other two are the newbies he was told were coming.

Well, there were ways to keep in touch with his buddies from before anyway.

Sean shrugs at the child's question, couldn't answer that. He gives Aaron a return nod.

"Thanks."

You have to learn to cook in college if you want to survive.

Jiji stated at Aaron silently before speaking. "What was up with the spooky clouds and singing? You trying to trick a mermaid to give you her voice in there?"

Aaron just looks at her for a second, that movie's a bit before his time so he didn't get it right away. Can you believe The Little Mermaid is 41 years old? Finally, he seems to catch her meaning, as he gives her a sheepish shrug.

"Well, I was alone in here and I like to practise with my powers when I can, so, yeah. Sorry if it disturbed anyone."

"What now?"

Mike poked his head out now that he was hearing talking.

Sean is in the process of draining the spaghetti and returning it to the pot for holding. Steamy. He turns the sauce down so it doesn't burn and goes to grab himself a plate, fork and spoon.

"Food's done for any who want some."

Jiji watched a lot of movies... Some of them old. Either way, she loved cartoons and was just the right age group to have seen the movies. So yes, Little Mermaid references. Disney was timeless. At Aaron's sheepish explanation, she nodded softly. ”Ah I see. Well, just dont block the cameras with your clouds,” she spoke casually before looking down to the game system on her lap.

”I'll get some in a bit.”

"I'm not really hungry right now. But thanks."

He wasn't expecting his roommates to cook for everyone. That was a surprise!

"I'm Mike by the way. Uhhh, which one of you is Nanners?"

Such a weird name.

Jiji would point towards the man who had cooked. "That would be the den mother."

"Cameras? What?"

Aaron looks around and feels mildly uncomfortable! Sean finishing the food breaks him out of that line of thought, though, as he helps himself to a plate.

"Thanks, it looks good."

Aaron knows how to make an omelette, but that's pretty much it.

"I am."

Sean confirms what the small Korean girl said while settling himself at the table. He mixes his pasta and sauce before twirling his fork around with the spoon underneath, like your supposed to.

"Don't worry about it," she hummed nonchalantly at the mention of the cameras. After a few moments, she stood up to go get a plate and a fork to help herself to the spaghetti. Unlike Sean, she pretty much just attacked the spaghetti with her fork.

"And that's your real name?"

He seemed skeptical.
