After awhile, Amber decided to head to the dorms. She walked to a building labeled "Halcyon". Inside was a really cozy living room with stairs to the right. "So, um, which room is mine?" She was still looking around the living room when she asked Lauren. Amber smelled strongly of smoke, but hoped you wouldn't notice.

"Pick any one you like, they're all the same. Once you pick yours just slide this into the slot under the number," Lauren said and held up a thin laminated paper and a sharpie, "Write your name on it." she passed it to her and in a lower voice said, "Don't smoke near the dorms, and the only way you'll get more cigarettes is if we win paintball or capture the flag. But in my opinion it'd be best if you just stopped." she said and drew back, turning to the younger kids

Zane brought the chair next to him closer to him and then laid across the seat of both of them.... He was going to sleep.... and hopefully the new arrival(s) would wake him.... In moments he was sleeping, snoring loudly and totally oblivious to what the others in the cafeteria would think... He was just going to catch up on some Z's.

she thought about the other factions, but she gave them a map to where the dorms were, they should be fine, at least she hoped. After she got her group settled she would check on the others

Following after Lauren, Alexandrite took in her surroundings and made a mental reminder to explore the campus more when she had time. Upon arriving at their new home, she looked around and decided that she was fairly content with her new living space. It was definitely a whole lot more... home-like than the orphanage, and she got a room all to herself too!

After waiting for Lauren to finish talking, Alexandrite got her own thin piece of laminated paper and sharpie before heading for the stairs and walking up all the way onto the fourth floor. After a quick moment of pondering, she decided to take the room at the very end of the hall, briefly taking note of the washroom she passed by.

She paused in front of her desired room, and neatly wrote out the name she chose before sliding it onto the slot. Entering the room, she wasn't surprised to find a rather... basic room. The bed was placed in the corner (just like how she liked it) and above it was a large window covered with white curtains. On another end of the room, to the right of the bed, was a desk with a chair tucked in and a lamp turned off. The closet Lauren mentioned was across from the bed, in the front of the room.

Alexandrite never expected to live in a luxurious room, anyways. She was already perfectly content that she had an actual home to live in- hopefully permanently.

Thinking back to to the brochures, she couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, the Academy wasn't as bad it as may have seemed. The thought lead her to stare at her closet, and she briefly considered checking on the supplies, but decided to relax by gazing out of the window and enjoying the scenery.

"We have freedom. Just a different kind. Just because they think we're staying forever doesn't mean we will be. I plan to stay awhile and sharpen my skills. Once I feel I've learned all I can i plan to escape." Roxy states with a smirk. "My name is Roxy."

"Well, I never thought like that, then again, thinking is never my best trait anyway. Thanks for cheering me up though." Said Khriz with his usual laid back cheerfulness attitude back.

Lauren turned to the others, "so, what do you think of the pizza?" She was trying to put them all at ease, make them feel somewhat comfortable

"It's good." said Touya while finishing his piece. He followed Lauren to the dorms, he needed to discharge his baggage to the room of this choice, it was mostly just two books that he choose to carry instead of travelling whithout reading them, hewas trying to decide what room he would choose.

She quietly took the sharpie and wrote her name. "When's the next paintball or Capture the Flag." she asked, handing back the sharpie.

Lauren smiled at Alexandrite's receding figure, the small girl seemed sweet. Watching her climb up the stairs, Lauren suddenly got a splitting headache. She pressed her fingers to her temples and groaned softly, an image passed before her eyes, of a small girl, then it f=vanished in an instant along with the headache. Lauren shook her head, wondering what just happened. She climbed up the stairs to her own room, on the second floor, the first one near the stairs.

Inside was the standard room, a desk, a closet, and a bed neatly set in the room, but on the walls were paintings of all sorts. Sketches and collages took up the whole right wall. Lauren quickly drew the girl she saw in her head and pinned it onto the wall with her other scattered works. She smiled and went back downstairs to make sure everyone was settled.

"I have to be a good thinker. I want to take over my father's gang some day. In order to do that I need to prove I can be a good leader. I've already looked over some of the students. I don't think I'll have any problem building my own little gang here. I know atleast a couple of students I want to target." Roxy said with a smirk.

"Next game's this saturday," Lauren replied quietly, it was MOnday.

"Interesting. Maybe i can learn some things with you and maybe even aid you in your quest." said Khriz returning the smirk.

Meanwhile, Touya decided what room to take, did the stuff he was instructed for and entered, it was a simple room, just like his old one, he was tired from the trip so he decided to go straight for bed. "I wonder how my life here will be, will i really? Enjoy it?" He asked himself as he took a seat in his new bed.

Amber walked up the stairs and picked out a room. She layed down on the bed and quickly dozed off.

"Excellent! That is exactly what I was hoping for. My understanding is that we can do pretty much anything we want as long as no one gets seriously hurt. Which leaves alot of room for mischief. I think we should go introduce ourself to our new minions within the Halcyon." Roxy suggested.

Lily sat in a sofa near the fireplace and let out a sigh, the day had been long. She finally felt like she had friends of some sort. She smiled, then frowned with distaste, it might be good for her that they were here, but certainly not for them. She sighed, things could never be perfect

Jason looked around the halls of his new prsion.... err school. I don't like this place already. Walking around several students almost knocked him over. He quickly dodged the first few, but plowed right into the fourth, who was a spindly boy that looked a few years younger than him with perfectly conditioned hair and clothes. The boy fell backwards, his books, and latte, splashing all over him. Jason quickly walked away from the boy and entered the cafeteria because he was freaking hungry. Inhaling he snorted "Nasty pizza.... on the first day..... This place seems great."

Caleb would see this and approach Jason. "Hey, man, do you have a problem?" he asked, sizing him up.

"Besides being locked in an academic prison with a bunch of snobs? No problem." he said as he continued to walk into the cafeteria and towards the serving line.

Caleb followed him, looking frustrated. "We haven't done anything to you! What's your problem?" he asked, his voice slightly raised.

Roxy and Khriz stood on the far left side of the gym talking. She smirked as she saw a new student loosing his way through the crowd. He seemed like he might be in there group. He certainly didn't seem to fit the other two groups. Roxy decided she should go greet him. "Excuse me I think Khriz. I think I see a new member to our little gang."

Roxy stood and careful made her way towardsthe newcomer. She didn't have to plow anyone over. It might have had to do with her confident stride, but more then likely it had to do with the two knives on her belt. "Did you choose the Sedition?"

Jason brushed the boy following him off and turned towards the food line.
