Set up is fairly simple, the bed is placed against one wall with desk and entertainment center opposite. There's also a bookshelf and dresser, most importantly is his beanbag chairs.

"Hello!" There's only one podmate listed for their dorm, so the name's an easy one for her. "I'm Savaak. You must be Taner?" She tilts her head to the side, watching him.

She laughs a little at the observation. It's not the first time she's heard it. "You pronounce it Saa-vik, actually. My parents are Stark Trek junkies."

Cool. If not a little strange for a first name." Taner isn't the reading files type, more a fan of the talking to people directly method to get to know them. "But I get the same when I tell people I'm Muslim."

My first name's as vanilla as they come." She seems almost chipper about it as she takes a seat on a chair near the sofa, happy to talk with her roommate and get to know him. "I can see that." She nods in understanding. Yay racial assumptions.

So, mind if I ask your first name? Or at least why you prefer your middle name?" It's an interesting switch to him. He never wanted to be called by his middle name despite it's rough meaning.

She shifts her luggage to one side, hugging her knee to her chest for a moment before releasing her leg to sit properly again. "My first name's Elizabeth, but I never liked the name. My father started referring to me by my middle name when I was young as play, and it stuck." Really, really enthusiastic Star Trek junkies.

It's interesting that she would opt for her middle as opposed to a nickname of some kind. "My mom used to work here. So, when I found I had a power I just figured I'd follow in those footsteps." He grins lightly. "Yourself?"

That made sense. She grins along with him. "I came to improve my abilities and to put them to good use. There's a lot of things we can do out in the world, but I believe the experience here would be good. At the end of the day, we are the ones who know the tally - and the truth."

Yeah, I guess." He didn't really think of it that way, tradition was more a military service thing in his family. That and he is fairly sure his mother isn't many people's favorite. He grins wider when she explains her own motivations for joining. "Wow, you are a right bundle of sunshine. Aren't you?" He quips with a brief chuckle.

And he's interesting. She beams and sits upright, leaning in as her arms rest on her thighs. "I play with light," she sounds almost sheepish.

Points for trying, Taner. The laugh she gives when he asks about Star Trek is more like a giggle. "Well, if I didn't like it, I could probably still tell you about it."
