Basically, the students simply began forming into various groups:

+ March began interacting with Cormac, and was subsequently joined after the speech by Kirill (who had been watching silently until then), Rhys and Lucas.
+ Randal got into a brief verbal disagreement with Isabelle, who then went on to begin a conversation with Lucas' sister, Sophie.
+ Brook and Kalk are still slowly striking up a conversation, and have yet to make their post in response to the speech.
+ Barbara, Shane and Asuras' as of yet unnamed character are still on their own.
+ Nikki and Michael approached Lukas, and are about to start a conversation. 

So yeah, interesting stuff... :D

(Edit: Also, Eva spoke to Desmond, but I didn't mention it to avoid being redundant.)
