"Tri. Is that your name?" Beth asked.
Forsaken raised an eyebrow. "The heck are you talking to?"
"Whom," Beth corrected. "And quite frankly a being tied to our newest neighbor. A blood bond to be precise."
Yang, Weiss, Blake, and Ruby looked to Forsaken. "Your aura tracing trick," they offered.
Forsaken looked unamused at this comment as Ruby petted Pommy. "And I think I have a copy of Sorry," she offered.

Nora stepped closer. "Ooooh, that's a really cool trick."
"GHOST!" the little ball screamed.

Tri's shadow puppet nodded again in response to Beth's inquiry, then covered its mouth and shook its shoulders as if it was giggling at Pommy's terrified reaction.
So he had their attention. Now it was a matter of what he should do with it. There was only so much he could do without causing panic, and besides, he still wanted to explore. Perhaps the least he could do was spice up his partner's night.
The shadow pointed towards Kelsey's room again, raising its other hand to its face and making crying motions all the while. Then it smiled again and motioned for the group to follow as it drifted along the wall towards the door.

Beth willingly followed the one puppeteering her shadow. Blake followed out of curiosity while Todd muttered something about curiosity killed the cat before the lone human male returned to his room. Weiss and Yang each went to their respective ones as Forsaken went to recollect the crashed cube.
Ruby looked to Pommy. "Wanna go see what's up?" she asked letting the little guy be the one to pick

His ears perked. "Um... Yeah! Pommy's not scared of no ghost," he offered, putting on a very brave face. Nora giggled at his display.
"Very good, my compadre!" she exclaimed, marching after the shadow.

Upon reaching Kelsey's room, the shadow raised a finger, then returned to its natural state as Tri himself phased through the wall. Once inside, he knocked on the door, then turned the knob and pulled the door open.
Inside, Beth, Blake, Ruby, Nora and Pommy would find Kelsey sitting on her bed, eating her chips and watching Harry Potter. She jumped and looked in their direction, properly startled by the sudden company. "Wh-?! How did you-?"
Then she noticed Tri on the other side of the door, smirking, waving and mouthing "You're welcome" to her.
"Sonova b****..."
Kelsey did her best to smile at her neighbors, inching towards the foot of her bed. "Um... Hi."

"Tri found us and I may have traced the bond between you and him..." Beth offered. "Which Potter movie is it and mind us coming in?"
Blake and Ruby stayed near Beth. Both unsure of what to make of Tri or Kelsey in this case.

Pommy gave an excited 'meeeew!' at the door opening, the little fella still being dramatic.
"Oooh, chips!" Nora smiled, about to run in before someone managed to hold her back.

"Of course he did..." Kelsey muttered with a deadpan grin. One inconvenience after another. She wouldn't have expected any less from Tri.
Well, no sense in being rude. "Y-Yeah, come on in. It's, uh... Goblet of Fire. I was just flipping through the channels and found it."
As her neighbors let themselves in, Tri floated up to Kelsey and gave her a pat on the head. "You kids have fun now." Then he bolted up and disappeared into the ceiling.
Sighing at her master's typical behavior, Kelsey awkwardly turned back to her guests. "I'm sorry about Tri. He's kinda... Okay, he's really... Well, let's just say he has a way of pushing buttons."

Beth quickly grabbed Nora. "Easy, Nora," She offered. "He seems like an interesting character to have around."
"Mind us joining you for the remainder of the movie?" Blake offered with a soft smile. She was trying to be a bit more open as well. "Goblet was probably one of my favorite books to read."
Ruby weaved between the others with Pommy in her arms. "Ever thought of what house you would be in?" she asked with a smile.

"House?" Pommy asked, quite confused.
"I think I'd be a Slytherin!" Nora cheerfully exclaimed, apparently not fully getting each house's purpose.

"Yeah. 'Interesting.'" That was probably the best way to describe Tri.
At this rate, an explanation of their bond seemed inevitable, and if Kelsey was going to be staying here for a while, it was probably for the best that she get it out in the open and establish a good relationship with her neighbors as soon as possible. Regardless, she opted to wait until someone outright asked about it. No sense in giving them the full exposition dump right out the gate when it seemed like they simply wanted to hang out.
"Um... Yeah, that's fine. Sit anywhere, I guess," she quietly offered, grabbing her purse off a chair and setting it down next to her. She wanted to be polite, sure, but these people were still kind of strangers; can't blame her for being cautious.
She blinked at Ruby when she asked Kelsey about her choice of Hogwarts house. "Oh! Uh... Haven't really thought about it, honestly. I... feel like I might be a Hufflepuff. Maybe a Gryffindor, but probably a Hufflepuff. Or... I dunno. Ravenclaws value learning... but Hufflepuffs are all about hard work and justice... and Gryffindors admire courage and chivalry... I gotta admit, I like all those traits... aaaaand I'm thinking too hard about this."

"Hufflepuff. Though oddly I can see Nora in Slytherin as long as she doesn't touch energy potions all would be fine," Beth offered.
"I would be Ravenclaw, myself," Blake offered.
"Depending on the day it's Gryffindor or Hufflepuff for me," Ruby offered. "It's like a team but bigger, Pommy."
EAch took a seat in the room. Beth picking the floor at the foot of the bed while Ruby and Blake each took a chair.

The little guy gave an excited cheer.
"Ooooh, wait, there's a house for hard work and justice?" Nora gasped. "Sign me up for somma that!" She pumped her fists, taking a seat on the floor.

Kelsey gave a small chuckle as everyone settled in, once again leaning back against her pillows and turning her attention back on the TV. The movie was close to being over, with her neighbors having joined her just as Harry had entered Dumbledore's memory. She snickered when Barty Crouch Jr. appeared on screen, muttering to herself, "Doctor who is that?"
Shortly thereafter, she half-consciously asked everyone present, "So... how long have you guys been here?"
