D Dorms - D12. || Being guided around. || Slightly annoyed.


We really need to get that lock fixed right away... Anise thought when Dusty managed to break into their room, what the hell was the point of a key if anyone could just force their through anyway? Well if she was right about Jarvan, he had some blacksmithing experience under his belt so maybe he can figure out how to fix their lock, or forge a new one altogether. She'll have to ask him later, but maybe this was just hopeful thinking, locks had to be fairly complex needing specialized knowledge. Now the room itself wasn't in much better condition, yet she wasn't disappointed at all since she's already accepted the fact that the Spire couldn't give a rat's ass about D-Dorms. Idly Anise had to wonder what happened to the third locker, they'll need to replace that, also maybe figure out their lighting situation, and maybe new mattresses wouldn't hurt either. That said she very well knew all that would take gold, and if there's something she didn't have that would be gold. She'll have to save up overtime, and hey maybe the next generation of students after them can have a slightly nicer room.

When Eggs, who's nickname still perplexed Anise, slapped her back it wasn't the act itself that got to her rather it was how the boy awkwardly assumed he insulted her somehow. She didn't respond much to it, but inwardly she was a tad ticked off. The rest of the explanation of how the dorms worked was straight forward, although again she was annoyed when Dusty for some reason thought saying "piss" around her was taboo. In his case he was simply being polite which was all and good, still it didn't fail to rub Anise the wrong way.

Anise nodded to Jarven. "Yes, if there's anything else we need to know then please tell us, otherwise I am confident that I can find my way around as is."

VIP Dorm || In need of a shirt || Amazed/Conflicted


Somewhere between the sprawling courtyard and the gilded grandfather clock that was even taller than he was, Jagred’s eyebrows lost the ability to fall. Despite trying his best to keep calm, he couldn’t help being overwhelmed by the sheer luxury that surrounded him. This was definitely not what he thought of a dorm, VIP or not. He had seen Hearts’ estates and Spades’ mansions before, but he never seen them up close, and most certainly didn’t see their interiors. It was amazing how one’s bloodline could enable this sort of extravagance. Just because of their last names, they could enjoy this, while many others were left homeless…

Jagred swashed that thought forcefully with a sharp intake of breath, feigning amazement. There was no winning in this war, simple as that. One bloodline fell, another would take its place. He could do nothing, should do nothing. He had his own problems to worry about. Such as how to deal with a certain top-hat midget, which conjured up an image intense enough to take his mind of off grim matters. He had already had certain plans to set into motion. But first, he needed a shirt. Realizing the overly helpful staff had taken his meager luggage to his new quarter, Jagred berated himself for not remembering to grab a shirt. The interior was comfortably warm enough, but he should still try to adhere to social norms. Some of the maids passing by did eye him quite intensely. Though he admitted he was not overly self-conscious about his looks, flaunting valuable merchandises too often could only lead to a decrease in their value.

“It seems I drew the long straw.”- He said to Alexander, half-smiled. Given the guy’s possible high status, Alexander might not be so foreign to these scenes as he was though. – “What were the rumours you are talking about though, if you don’t mind me asking?”- He then spoke out loud, hoping someone could satisfy his curiosity.

Pausing for a few moments, he continued – “And if possible, do you happen to have a spare shirt around? Mine was ruined earlier, after some… complications.”

D Dorms || Checking out the campus || Interested and Mildly disturbed


After his chat with Acron Zephyr slipped in to his room to get settled in. His room was pretty barren but that was fine with him, all he really needed was a bed to sleep and space to do his own personal experimenting. He left his things and headed out of his place, saying bye to Acron on his way out. "I'm going for a walk, I feel like exploring, I'll see you around." With that Zephyr was gone, wanting to check out some of the other dorms. He was very interested in the exclusive VIP dorms, but they'd probably be impossible to get in to. He'd have to see if he knew anyone staying there, maybe they would let him in and give him a tour. Since he couldn't go to the best, he figured he'd go check out what was probably the worst dorms, the D dorms.

Most people would think the D dorms were a long walk out of the way of everything else, but Zephyr was used to walking. He found walking was a great way to find new ways to think about solutions to problems, so he did it quite a lot. As he wandered around D block he couldn't help but wonder if he was in the right place. It looked like the place had been abandoned, other than the people he saw it was like a war zone or something, did people really live like this? Zephyr knew his being a Spade gave him a certain amount of privilege, he just didn't realize conditions could get this bad. But despite how bad things looked, Zephyr noticed everyone he saw around seemed pretty happy. Maybe they were just used to living like this so nothing seemed odd to them? He wasn't sure, but this place was strange but somehow wonderful at the same time.

Prime District Entrance || Meeting fellow Heart & heading to VIP Dorms || Excited to finally be heading to her dorm room


Kaela turned slowly as she heard a soft voice similar to her own. She smiled when she saw a rather sweet looking girl speaking. She reminded her of herself. "Of course you can company us!" Kaela smiled enthusiastically. 'Yay! A new person to talk to!' she thought happily. This sociallising thing was easier than she initially thought! She had got this so down.

She nodded in agreement with Fizzy as he spoke smiling at him as he did. He was such a gentleman. She had always thought that the class system meant nothing. She knew Fizzy was a Club, that didn't stop him from being a gent though. Your class meant nothing. It was who you are as a person that counted. One day she'd like to be important enough to do something about the system. Until then she had a long road of training ahead of her.

As her thoughts rolled around in her head she realised she was staring at Fizzy longer than usually socially acceptable. She quickly turned her attention to her little baby, Lemmy. While she blushed a wonderful shade of pink. She giggled as the little guy licked her finger. She held in a squeal from the cuteness overload she was getting, before plopping him gently back on her shoulder. Where he then proceeded to crawl under her hair at the back of her neck, where he nestled nice and cozy. She had a lot of hair, so it was probably a really nice warm place to be.

She then gave her attention back to the new girl whom she yet still didn't know the name of! She blushed again at her apparent terrible social skills. And she thought she had this down. Clearly not. "Oh... Er... Yes! What Fizzy said... I'm Kaela of The Hands of Healing! It's a pleasure to meet you." she spoke quickly and held out a hand to the girl smiling. She then pointed to the back of her neck "The little guy under here is Lemmy The Sugar Glider!" She gave a big grin. She was totally in love with her new little companion and it showed.

VIP Dorm || Settling in || Enjoying getting the living space he deserves


As he was led to through the courtyards to the vast castle, Alexander's lips curled up into a smile as the well trimmed lawns passed by him. This was the kind of experience he was looking for in the Spire. With such elegance abound, he could continue his research in the kind of comfort he was used to. Looking over at Jagred, he reacted to the Diamond's near inability to handle the experience with a light chuckle. So far, his experience with Jagred had led been quite respectful and pleasant. Perhaps the young man deserved a taste of luxury, even if just in his education. He would have preferred if he could remember what he found so familiar about him. He would also prefer if Jagred was wearing a shirt though. The constant gazes caught from woman were a bit distracting.

After handing over his bags to a couple work golems, a maid led him inside to the grandiose interior of Castle Homegrad. Even Alexander had to admit it was a bit much. He probably would have preferred a more contemporary architecture, but the overly flamboyant decor was probably intended mostly for the Hearts. His family had always prioritized function over form, and the majority of there land was taken up by laboratories. His attention was grabbed from the intricate ceiling designs by Jagred's comments towards him and questions towards the maid. He chuckled once more.

"Long straw indeed. But it doesn't appear to be any variety of administrative kerfuffle, so I suggest you accept your fortune and take advantage. Why don't you come with me. Your frame is a bit gargantuan compared to mine, but I probably have something that could fit someone of your stature." He turned towards the maid. "I assume that if we find an abode to our liking, we can simply ring the bell and requisition our personal assets, Miss...?" Alexander allowed his last words to hang in the air, awaiting a response of both confirmation and name from the servant.

D Dorms - D12


@Damiann47@Eklispe


"Not much to say, really. We throw a block party once a month and friday night is poker night. So feel free to tag along." said Dusty, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"But um, things tend to get a bit out of hand..." David hastily added on, and then stopped himself, seeing Dusty tap his nose in his direction.

"Only a bit of fun, fellas. Anyway, they don't sweep our block as regularly as some of the others, so you're more likely to get away with c-o-n-t-r-a-b-a-n-d. But when they do a rough and tumble of our dorms it's alot harsher for everyone involved, so keep that in mind." A cloud seemed to fall over the room at that, and there was a long silence.
Eggs cleared his throat. "Anyway, we'll leave you two to settle in-"

Dex snickered at that, having broken out of his whispered conversation with a concerned Pea to glance between the two of you.
"I'm sure there'll be newbies downstairs arriving to be assigned to their dorms without direction, so we'll be going back down to help them out."

Dusty saluted with two fingers and a "Seeya 'round." as he swerved out the door in that strange, lanky-limbed walk of his. David and Krawl followed, though Pea and Dex lingered a little longer.

As the first group dissapeared towards the staircase, Dex looked back at you and snickered as the door closed. For a minute all seemed well, but then a sudden bang followed by something heavy being dragged along a wooden floor notified you of something amiss.

"I think you two lovebirds need some quality time together. The heat in this place is dodgey but I'm sure you'll find a way to keep warm... came the annoyingly high pitched voice of Dex, and a muffled apology from Pea, followed by a thump sound and a low hissed sentance from Dex. The sound of footsteps faded away.

Seems like they've blocked the door somehow.





Meanwhile, Egg, Dusty and Krawl trapsed down the stairs, catching whiff of a rumour a Spade had come to visit.
"No way," said David as he reached the first floor. "We never get Noble visitors down here.
Krawl raised an eyebrow. "I don't see what the big deal is. I'm a Spade." He said flatly, though it didn't seem he was indignant about the news. His voice seemed permanently jaded.

"Yeah but you're more like a part of the furniture."

"What he's trying to say is you're our token Spade. Just like how this year apparently a diamond got into the VIP Dorms." David rolled his eyes, but the others could tell he was just bursting at the seems, wishing he was in that Diamond's place. He went on about it all the time.

They crested a corner, and sure enough, outside standing on the flat slab area was an In-training student wearing clothes that screamed upperclass. They didn't need sewing or had patches slapped on or were too big on him or anything.
And he was already generating a bit of a hubbub.

Eggs fidgetted from foot to foot, clearly indecisive about something."Do you think we should go help him before he get's accusted by girls wanting to marry up? You remember Krawl's first day..."

"I'm still here, you know."

"Furniture, Krawl. and yes..." he pushed up the brim of his hat with a finger, "Don't you 'spose the lad could do with some attention? After all he came all the way to D Dorms...
"He's probably lost." Krawl replied blankly.

The other two paused for a minute.

"We should help him..." they both mumbled in not-quite unison, as Pea and Dex came up behind them.

"We're going to head out." Dex said, strolling off with Pea before any of the trio could notice how guilty Pea was looking. Pea always squealed...

Krawl, Eggs and Dusty rambled over to the poor Spade, who was already being watched from a distance by various gaggles of people.
"E-e-excuse me, sir." Eggs said, clearing his voice. "Are you lost?"

@Mae@Damiann47





A party and gambling, well neither of those were that inherently bad, as long as things didn't get too out of control. Of course those thoughts were dashed by David's warning. It seemed Dusty and Dex were the head honchos of the group, while Egg and Pea were reluctant followers. Jarvan had just set his bag down next to one of the lockers when Dex's jeer came floating through the locked door. Seriously? How immature. Jarvan tried the door just for kicks and giggles but nothing happened other than the handle jiggling. He looked at Anise and shrugged, "Well I might be able to break it down, or shove past whatever's blocking it, but that seems a bit more troublesome." He looked at the window next, barred. Probably wouldn't be much good to go out anyway, rather difficult. "I think it may be best for us to finish setting up and getting used to the room. We should have at least one more person coming." Jarvan checked the slip of paper he'd received. "Balith Benker supposedly. Other than that we could try yelling for help but I doubt that would do much." Jarvan said amiably and began unpacking his stuff into one of the lockers. Including his bag of heavy tools. Jarvan looked at the door once more. "You know... I might be able to take the door off its hinges..." he said quietly, more to himself than Anise before shrugging. He had no real need to leave right now.

D Dorms - D12. || Doing nothing important. || Actually annoyed.
@Eklispe


It was after they blocked the door that Anise finally decided that group will be a problem in the future, David while seeming like a decent human being was also clearly a submissive follower, and that still was no good. As for Pea, well he didn't really say much so he was essentially neutral, however much like David he was a meek follower as well without the will to escape the gang he's stuck with. In a way Anise felt sympathy towards the chubby boy, but he'll just have the find the strength to change his fate by himself, probably. So, Dex and crew were something else she'll have to be vigilant about. That said the brand new pain her neck, the blocked door, Anise definitely was supremely just annoyed over the inconvenience, but she'll just have to suck it up for now for now.

Without a word Anise came over to the lockers right next to Jarvan where she started to unpack her spare belongings as well. She picked the first locker, and quickly got to work to stack her supplies in neat piles within. "Good that you have a calm head over this, for now let us leave the door as is since the last thing I want is to damage it." Anise eventually spoke up, still diligently storing away her stuff, and not even so much as glancing at Jarvan. "I am sure between the two of us we can force it open, however we can't tell how sturdy the door itself actually is, doing nothing also isn't an option we will have to find a way out, but that goes without saying." Before long Anise was done with securing her items, everything fit just fine in her locker with plenty of room to spare.

"Now unless you can come up with a smarter solution, I believe we will simply won't have any other choice, so do you?"

D Dorms- D12 : At My New Home : A new solution?

@Mae@Damiann47




Anise seemed to be reacting to the situation the same way he was. That was good, he'd hate for things to get awkward already with one of his semi-permanant room-mates. Anise's concurred that they could probably break the door down. Well he certainly didn't want to break their door even more than it was, but they had to get out of here sooner or later. "Ah well, I may be able to do something less harmful to the door." Jarvan grabbed his bag of tools and moved over to the door, examening the hinges. If he took the bolts out they could simply move the door out of the way and then move whatever had been blocking the door. Luckily hinges were usually on the inside of the room so that people couldn't do this from the outside. He'd never personally worked on a door before but it couldn't be that difficult.

Prime District Entrance || Making Friends? || Relieved and Bein' a Goof 2electric boogaloo


Elemette was relieved. These people seemed nice, at least, for the time being. Fitzgerald was an odd one. He introduced himself in such an elaborate and gentlemanly way. This, along with how Elemette was raised, was a major red flag for her. Not even aware she was doing so, she crept towards the girl, an action that only the astute (or hopelessly romantic) would notice.

The girl introduced herself. She was Kaela of The Hands of Healing. Elemette didn't quite know what exactly this hand was; she was a sheltered child, and thus, knew little of even her own social class. Then, Kaela introduced her pet. Good lord, it was a flying rat with beady little eyes and maniacal little claw-hands.

Elemette quickly leapt back upon seeing the rat. She did not like him one bit. She was so shocked that she did not even remember its name. Rather quickly, she realized that her sudden astonishment and leap back was rather rude, so she quickly introduced herself.

"I am Elemette." She said as she preformed a curtsy. Her introduction was, surprisingly, not clouded by her social ineptitude. She had practiced it for hours on end. Such is the life of one of her family. Even an impression at one glance was important! But, that was something internalized by her, albeit poorly.

"So, I'm, er, supposed to be going to suite, er..." Elemette said. She forgot what her dorm was. She quickly pulled out her paper and read it. "VIP suit A-1, or something like that..." Her voice faded out into a whisper by the time she said the word that.

D Dorms || Meeting new people || Ehhh whatever


Zephyr was slightly startled when he heard the voice come up and ask him if he was lost. He turned and saw three boys all standing there. "Hm? Oh, um, no, I'm not lost. I was just, er, exploring?" Saying it out loud to these guys made it sound a bit insensitive, like he was on a safari checking out the local fauna. "I just felt like going for a walk and checking out the campus. I'm guessing you don't get many visitors down here?" Zephyr had noticed more than a few people had been giving him looks since he had arrived here, was it because he was a Spade or just because he was a visitor in general. "Anyways, I'm Zephyr, good to meet you gents. Everyone around here seemed nice enough, but the poor conditions made Zephyr glad he had left his things back in the room. This seemed like a place where one could get mugged. He was also appreciative that his main form of attack was his summoned dagger if he needed to defend himself. But now he was just being paranoid, he highly doubted he would be getting in to a knife fight while he was here.
