| Academy of the Arcane Artes | <IC>

[Kaldraco]

As Gabriel observed his surroundings he saw many interesting people and species. The population at the school was very different from what he had seen at the orphanage. He had heard of many of them before but had never actually seen many of these with his own eyes. As he was scanning over the crowd he noticed what appeared to be a normal human girl but she had some unique equipment. As she approached him he took note of her armored leggings and rather large gun. There was also here cat ears and tail which looked just a little out of place with the heavy armored leggings and fatigues. He took the bear that he had been holding and put it inside his bag and when he had finished this girl was standing next to him looking down at him.

She asked "Excuse me, but are you alright?” in a friendly tone.

Gabriel was not used to having to look up at people not just because he lived in an orphanage and dealt with kids but because he was naturally tall. He figured that this was going to be one of the many things that he would have to get used to at the academy.

"Thanks for asking. My name is Gabriel and yes I'm doing great. I was just remembering what home was like and how different this place is but I can't wait to get started here how about you umm..... what was your name?", he said returning the friendly tone.

Kaëlana seemed to be the only student standing without a single bag or even a pet. Biting down on her lip, she glanced around at everyone again. Hopefully I'll make new friends and find someone to work for. Kaëlana wasn't one of the Angels those of Earth often thought of; She was training to be a personal guardian angel. She would form a close bond with her charge and work as their personal assistant, assassin, and body guard.

A tedious job that many viewed as nothing short of servitude, but she chose it for the challenge and the chance to form an everlasting bond with someone. Her parents had met their best friends that way.

She let her fingers drift down to the ruffles of her dress, swaying her hips a bit. Her face and body were still lit up with a soft glow as her excitement of such an adventure grew, though she didn't say anything to anyone. Yeah, she was generally outgoing but she wasn't about to harass everyone with HI! I'm Kaëlana! Be my friend. No, she'd wait to be approached - Or just to meet her room mates.

"Extra classes? I was thinking non magical weapons, theivery, and melee combos. Or rather, those were what I was signed up for. They didn't leave the choice to me, only what they thought would benefit them the most."

She heard her stomach growl, and she remembered she hadn't eaten yet. She knew that if she didn't get something to eat her eyes would turn a deeper red, and even the music that controlled her moods wouldn't be able to stop her.

I hope the speach starts soon, I'm not sure how long I can wait.

"I hate to ask, but you wouldn't happen to have any food, would you? If not, it's fine."

[Ginnungagap]

Apparently there were quite a few oddities in this place. People of all shapes and sizes had been pulled into this, so at least there would be no sticking out. Not in these crowds. At least not by looking weird. Nay, the only thing that might give him away would be a display of his powers, or someone disappearing. This place's security was presumably better than some backwater town's. They'd probably keep up the search until they found a body, and that's if they didn't use some magic or that new-fangled technology to discover him with ease.
Yeah, yeah, I get it, low profile, go unnoticed, yadda yadda, I get it, Vulpe. Kohai thought, as he headed towards someone who seemed nearly as alone as he was. Maybe it had to do with the wings. There weren't that many others endowed with such appendages, as far as he had noted. Then again, there were so many, and so varied, there wasn't exactly a lot of any single thing anywhere. And his height didn't exactly let him get the best view of the area.

So he approached her from the left, a knowing grin on his face, as he noted that she was just as itemless as he was. He deigned to speak upon his quiet entrance, "Hello, I'm Kohai, Kohai Vulpe. You look a little anxious. Need a friend to talk to?"

[Kethuel]

Kezza laughed quietly as Two mentioned her classes.
"Really?" She asked. " I'm taking both weapon forgery classes, and melee combos too! Seems we're in to be sharing a lot of classes, two!"
Kezza thought hard if she brought any food.
"Hmmm..." She said.
"I'll check in my pack if I have any food."
She untied the twine that kept her leather suitcase closed. She opened it, revealing her two Wyrm-tooth swords and her belt of small daggers. She ignored the swords and the daggers, as she began rummaging around in her suitcase. Her hands fell upon a small lizardskin bag.
"Here we go! Some corn biscuits! I hope they're okay. Are they okay?" she asked.

[Kilo6]

Paula smiled and held out her hand, "My name is 2nd Lie- I mean, I'm Paula, Paula Wittman, nice to meet you. I guess I have to get used to this new place too." she said with a laugh.
"Anyway, where you from?" she asked out of curiosity. "I wonder if he is from that other world or maybe he's from Earth?" she wondered.

Avalant was surprised to find he was bored. There was such a diverse group of people around, but no one to talk to about the other world called Lucis.

"Oh well... I guess I can just wait till I meet my fellow classmates in the classroom or maybe even the dorm." he thought as he aimlessly wondered through the crowed, carrying his luggage.

He found an empty spot and sat on his suit case pulling out a lump of metal from his pocket. Avalant began to play around with it using his alchemy, turning it into various shapes and objects. He sighed as he manipulated the metal out of boredom.

[Little Fox]

Kaëlana glanced to her left side to see a male student approached her. He was the exact same height as her - And even his hair was the same color; just a different shade. She ceased playing with her ruffles, flashing him a bright smile. "I guess I'm just really excited. Aren't you?" Her hands were unable to still themselves for too long, as her slender digits found their way to her cherry lockes. Her hair cascaded in thick tresses over her shoulders, down her back, and stopping just a tiny bit past her knees, causing her to wonder if maybe she should have done more than just brush it. "I'm Kaëlana. Kaëlana Metio. My parents teach here." She extended a hand. "I'd love someone to exchange conversation with."

[Kaldraco]

"Nice to meet you Paula and the place that I call home is an orphanage. I have lived there for more of my life than any other place and the children there are like my brothers and sisters. The orphanage itself may only be a few hundred miles away but it feels much farther. From your appearance I would guess that you are from some military organization but I'd rather you'd tell me... 2nd Lieutenant was it?" Gabriel said with a smile.

Rya moved though the thick crowd, seeing other chatting it up with other kids, he felt grabs on his hair before he swatted the hands away. Just because his hair was white and spiky, did not give anyone the right to just YANK on it!

He wanted to say something to them, but as soon as he turned around...Nothing was there. This school was starting to creep him out, somebody had been pulling on his hair, maybe he would just cut it off..

...

Wouldn't be so much of a hassle, he thought to himself unknowingly being bumped around in the crowd, as if he was in a river, he was being pushed towards the gates. He snapped out of his thoughts as he looked around, snapping his head around the area. "Wha!? Where i'm i.." Rya's voice was cut off by the mumbles of the crowd..
