Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents (IC)

[Blue Tempest]

Axel wasn't even thinking about that at the moment, but this girl had to go and drag it out of him all over again. All he could do was scoff and turn away. "Well excuse me for not being being as fucking strong as you. Didn't realize I was being such an inconvenience on you." He then promptly walked away by the cart. Who the hell was that girl to tell him that?! Does she seriously think it's that easy for everybody? He seriously hoped to get out of there before he exploded.

[Discontent]

Sawyer outright ignored the little 'argument' that was going on, as he honestly didn't really care too much about whether he saw his family anymore. He was actually rather glad that he didn't need to see his mother anymore, but he was a little put-off about not seeing his little sister, Jessica, anymore. She was one of the few people that he didn't need to put up much of a front when talking to, and was even somewhat intrigued by the things he was interested by. But he didn't care a whole lot.

Apparently he wasn't the only one ignoring it all, as a girl he didn't know the name of asked if anyone else got a firecat. The girl looked to be Japanese, with straight long black hair, almost with a kind of look that almost seemed to say 'please talk to me', although he wasn't that brilliant at reading people. Personally, a cat was one the last things he'd choose to have, they always seemed to exude this strange aura saying 'I'm small and fluffy, strangle me'. He smiled at the girl, and retracted his gloved hand from the cage, having to wiggle his finger a bit so Myst would let go of his finger. "In terms of temperament, I probably got the complete opposite," he looked at how calm and supposedly 'adorable' her firecat was, compared to his Cerberus' angry indignation. "I don't believe we've met, the name's Sawyer, and this," his eyes went down to the cage, "is Myst, or Mystery. You can probably guess why she's still in the cage." He put reached his gloved hand back in the cage, letting two of the heads bite down on the very tough fabric, perhaps not being smart enough yet to know it wasn't doing any damage. "Nice to meet you."

Tsukiko looked at the creature in the boy's cage curiously. She couldn't remember what it was called but it didn't look very friendly. Tsukiko, however, wasn't scared of it as she usually was more scared of people than animals. Not that she would've wanted to stick her fingers into the cage either.

"Sawyer?" she repeated and smiled at the boy. "And Myst. I'm Tsukiko and this one doesn't have a name yet... Or I don't know if he does?" She brushed the firecat's fur, keeping the carrier close to her. She wasn't sure if she could name him or if he was already named, she probably should've asked the shop owner. "Nice to meet you too," she said to Sawyer. "Myst is cute. Though she seems to be a handful to train."

[Discontent]

"Far as I know, they haven't been given names yet." In a world of Johns and Emilys, Sawyer often found it difficult to remember people's names, and when someone with a name as distinctive as Tsukiko came along, he enjoyed the ease of memory in conversation. "And yes, I suppose she will prove to be fairly difficult. But I think that's the point, the harder the work, the bigger the pay-off will be at the end." He didn't really agree with Myst being called cute, but then again, he didn't understand the concept in the first place, he just pretends to. Myst was beginning to wise up, and started trying to yank the glove off, which Sawyer took as a cue to remove his hand. "So why'd you choose that one?" he motioned to Tsukiko's firecat.

stirring in her sleep, Hannah opened her eyes. looking at a clock on her potions cabinet, she had been asleep for several hours. it should be almost time for the students to return from their shopping trip, and Hannah had things to prepare. she remembered that they would be using the testing chamber today, and decided to make sure it was working. picking up a few of her more valuable potions from her cabinet, she made her way to the sixth floor. she made sure the chamber was in order, then headed to her rooftop garden to refresh her herb supply. finally, she headed to the main entrance to await the arrival of the students, stopping by her room on the way down to store the herbs.

Noirin was sitting alone, singing to her egg as she petted it gently. She could feel the tiny lizard squirm under the thick skin of the egg as if it wanted to get out. Noirin was closer to the animal world than to any other people including her own family. The animals responded back to her as if they were her friend and she was their friend. Her world was not the same as it was for any other person that she knew. She had a strange memories that her older siblings did not have even though her parents had to admit that her grandmother sang and could speak an old language of the Celts. They just did not know how Noirin knew the language as well as she did for the grandmother had died when Noirin was only 3. None of the older siblings like the grandmother and grandmother Fiona had not paid much attention to any of them except Noirin.

"I... don't really know. I like cats. And I like fire," Tsukiko said and blushed. "That sounded stupid, didn't it? But I guess I was sort of drawn to him..."

Alright, so this was why she wasn't very confident around people. How did she even manage to word her thoughts so stupidly? She wasn't stupid. Or maybe in this world she was. They were all new to all this... magic, but Tsukiko felt like she was more lost with it all than most of the others.

"Did you have a pet before we came here?" Tsukiko asked Sawyer to force herself to stop overthinking. "My family used to have a cat but it's been a while since she passed away."

[Yaneznayo]

He smiled at sawyer, proudly holding the red gold specked egg for him to see.
"It's a firebird. I hope it hatches soon. I'd love to finally see what this one looks like. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to fly?"

[Ninkitty]

Not really paying any attention to the argument that seemed to be going on because she didn't really want to get involved in it, Allison said, "Yes I did. Had a hard choosing which one to pick though. They were all just so cute. And I still have to think of a name for him too. I can't wait to get to be able to play with him either." By this time though, Tsukiko was talking to Sawyer. She just decided to listen to their conversation, however she found herself thinking that maybe her and Tsukiko can learn about their Firecats together. Maybe her cat and Allison's cat can even become friends one day. Who knows? Right now though, she wasn't going to bring it up. She didn't want to spend her first night with her new cat with anyone else to be honest. Of course, if Clara asked she'd more than likely say yes. What should I name him? Maybe I'll just come up with a name when we are back at the castle? Allison sat on the carpet trying to think of a name. What in the world will be a good name for a firecat? All she was thinking of at the moment, were a bunch of stupid names. Maybe I'll end up coming up with a name when I'm actually playing with him..

[jaya]

"I thought all the animals were cute... But I really liked both of the cat breeds," Tsukiko said to the girl who was friends with the wolf-eared girl. "Sorry, I can't remember your name. I'm Tsukiko."

Maybe she'd do alright with these people after all. At least she wasn't feeling isolated anymore.
