Dinner had been awkward, mostly silent except for Mabel and Elli whispering to each other and laughing. Slenderman however, halfway through dinner, hushed everyone.
"Due to the large influx of new killers moving in, we'll be moving to a roommate system. My brothers and I can't handle almost constantly building a new room. Which means everyone has to choose one roommate."
It was quite obvious that Mabel and Jeff were going to choose each other to be roommates, after all, they were dating. Everyone had gotten a roommate, except for Cordelia and Eyeless Jack. Despite Eyeless Jack's complaints, he was told it was either share a room with Cordelia or move out.
So he decided to just roll with it. To accommodate Eyeless Jack sharing a room with Cordelia, her room was expanded. There was still a large pool in the center of the room, but now there was a room where Eyeless Jack could store his things, leaving enough room in the main area for where he slept.
As the day went by, when night arrived, Cordelia and Eyeless Jack had spent the majority of the time laughing and getting along. Albeit that EJ's laugh was disturbing if you first heard it, she didn't mind it.
When it was time for the two to sleep, Cordelia and EJ had a quick discussion. "Since I know you're uncomfortable about people seeing you without your mask on, wake me up after you finish getting ready. Alright?"
EJ merely nodded, watching as her legs turned into a fishtail and she quickly swam to the bottom. He waited a few moments before removing his mask and crawling into his own bed, slowly drifting into sleep.
The next morning, EJ was the first to wake. He didn't waste a moment getting ready, seeing as it was nearly 6 am. Which meant that soon it was breakfast, and everyone had to be awake by then.
He swiftly pulled on his mask, and yelled to Cordelia.
"Cori! It's time for breakfast, get up here."
She swam up, her black hair hugging her frame as the upper half of her body rose from the water. "Do you mind um-" Cordelia gestured for EJ to turn around, who nodded and turned and left the room.
Cordelia didn't waste a moment, once again drying herself off, before browsing through the wardrobe that had been made for her. Although she wasn't really wanting to wear one of the dresses, it was the only clean clothes she had.
Instead, it seemed Trenderman had been generous enough to trash the entire wardrobe and create new, various outfits. It made her quite happy. She'd have to thank him later.
She pulled out a baggy short-sleeved blue shirt, pulling on some white skinny jeans that she thought matched quite well with it.
Once she had dressed in those, she took the time to dry and brush her hair, before stepping out. Although her hair was less frizzy today, it did seem more.. Fluffy? She didn't know how to describe it, it just seemed to look very nice.
Cordelia stepped out, where EJ was waiting patiently. "If you need to finish doing anything, rooms available."
EJ shook his head in response. He didn't seem to talk much outside of being in a room with her, perhaps because he didn't want to terrify poor Sally with his voice.
Speaking of Sally, she seemed to be crying. This of course worried everyone, as she was surrounded when Cordelia and EJ ran down the stairs to see what was wrong.
"Goddamit Jeff, did you do something to her toy?"
"No! I swear I didn't!"
"Then what the hell happened?!"
"She got denied cookies and ice cream before breakfast again."
Everyone sighed, partially in relief and partially in annoyance. Sally was normally spoiled, seeing as she normally lived with Splendorman, who spoiled her. But now that the mansions had merged, there wasn't anymore spoiling for her.
