What's next for the cursed hero?
New roommates, new skill
The door opens to reveal, not Brittney. "Oh right. She got a new roommate early in semester." Mike reminds himself mentally. The man who was first through the door stops. "We have the wrong room?" The girl that follows behind says "No dad. This room is the weirdest on campus." Mike steps forward. "That it is. Mike, I live downstairs. I was looking for Brittney. She had borrowed a movie and I was looking for it." The girl's dad relaxes a bit and sets down the stuff in his hands.
As he walks out the girl steps forward. "Hi. I'm Tiffany. You and Brittney usually leave the door open?"
Mike shakes her hand. "We do but if you want it closed more often, use the lock on your side. The open door just works for us. Need help?"
Tiffany nods and the two head down the hall. "My old roommate was becoming a problem so I told the R.A. I would move. Easier on everyone."
They pass Tiffany's dad pushing more stuff down the hall. Mike nods. "I get it. I found my old roommate an empty room because he didn't like the door."
The two talk as the move things and eventually set things up. Her dad leaves just as Brittney walks in.
"Oh that was today." Brittney says.
"Sorry." Tiffany follows up with.
Mike spots a new box as Brittney walks in. "Don't worry about it. I'll leave you two to catch up." he says grabbing the new box and heading downstairs. Shutting the door to the room upstairs, Mike puts the box on his desk and opens it. He reads out loud to himself "The world can be a bit of an info dump." He watches the card appear on his computer before he decides to go for a walk to test out this new ability.
He walks around campus to a fairly popular courtyard. Sitting down, he plays with his phone and thinks about his new skill. As someone walks by he suddenly knows their height, weight, favorite color and food. "All that from a glance?" he asks himself quietly. He looks over at the couple talking under a tree. He stares at the girl for a bit. Within minutes he knows about her likes and dislikes, her basic background and her measurements. "This is cool." Mike says standing and walking toward the dorms.
Next move?
