"Oh hell sorry man! I was just stirring some stuff up around the dorm trying to get things a bit more lively." Ben said after an awkward moment of being on top of another guy from another dorm. Hopefully he didn't get in trouble for this...if he did he would tell the truth. No point in lying about this. Still it'd be a shame of his silly string bottle got confiscated. Ben realized he had yet to get off the boy and then pulled himself up and offered the dude his hand. "Hey there big guy. You're...Vincent...No sorry Zach was your name if I remember right. Sure you already know who I am but in case you don't my name's Ben. Ben Carson." Ben said as he suddenly realized he was also wet. Oh lovely...he not only knocked the kid over but he made him spill his water and he probably was eating something too so he may have dropped his only sandwich. "I apologize 'bout the water boss. I wasn't looking and I wasn't expecting a light dormer. Need a towel or something I'll go get one." Ben said as he put a hand on the back of his head.

"OH F- Sorry, Sorry! Let me help you up!" Haas extended his hand, feeling terrible after having knocked over Tsukiko. After he helped her up, the boy let out a heavy sigh and scratched the back of his neck... Again. "Sorry for knocking you over... Uhmm,... Tsukiko right? I uh, wasn't watching my step." Tsukiko listened to Haas apologized and giggled a bit as she he let him help her get back up on her feet. She brushed herself off and smiled toward him casually, "It's okay, Haas. Yes, my name is Tsukiko. Anyway, it was an accident after all. I'm more mad at the poor lodging in this place than I am with you. Took me forever to get my hair back to how I normally had it." She kind of complained at the end since her shower wasn't the most pleasant. It wasn't necessarily warm though it wasn't necessarily cold, but a lukewarm or room temperature did not please her in the slightest. She remembered that hole she put in the wall on accident earlier right after her shower was over which made her completely forget about being mad about it.

"Anyway." She paused for a moment as she noticed Haas was about to say something so she took a brief pause to let him finish what he wanted to say. It was the polite thing to do and her request could wait until he had finished. "I guess you were planning on grabbing a bite as well?" Tsukiko heard Haas question toward her as she thought about what she did earlier. She couldn't help but think about that she may be in trouble the next day when they find out she had put a hole in the wall with her fist. Turning her attention toward Haas and paying him mind she decided now was the time to make her request toward him, "Say, we are both new around here. I usually accompany my brother when I go out to eat, but Haas would you like to accompany me toward the food court? I know this is a rather bizarre request but it would be nice to have some company and at least someone to talk to. I don't have any friends outside my life and never had a chance to make any when my brother was dueling on the circuit." She paused for a moment as she did reveal the sadness she tried to veil underneath her eyes. Usually she could control those emotions inside of her from arising but sometimes they just overwhelmed her like a freight train. "Kind of sad I lived a life of a lonely girl and never a normal life, huh? That is kind of my brother's fault who dragged me around to watch him duel instead of allowing me to settle somewhere and make friends..." She pondered the thought as she knew that Shinrei never wanted her to make any friends. She didn't quite understand why he was always trying to push people away from her. He wasn't around so he couldn't decide what was best for her anyway. "Oh sorry, I probably bored you with my sob story, huh? Forgive me... Let's go eat something." Tsukiko apologized as she looked away with a very sad look on her face and her eyes filled full of sadness. She thought to herself as she awaited Haas response. Brother... If you could be a bit like everyone else, i wouldn't feel burdened like I do...

"I'll be sure to tell her... glad you accepted it... she tends to get upset when people don't she's a good kid. cares about everyone even if they are cold to her or anyone else" Hayato said not paying any attention the room he entered. Shinrei looked at him when he said that then thought about his sister. She would come to him all the time with papercraft especially her paper cranes she created. Then he was reminded of that dreaded paper fan she created she carries around. He then nudged his head slightly as he came to realize that his sister only meant good toward him no matter how scary her actions were at times. "To be honest." He paused for a moment as he grabbed one of the pictures that was framed on his desk of his sister and her papercraft then flipped it toward Hayato so he could see it. "Your sister in ways reminds me of my own sister. She learned papercraft from my 'mother'." He paused and stressed mother a bit differently than his other words in a way that seemed like whenever he used the word bothered him a little.

Hayato then proceeded to take a seat handing over the solid-vision projector casually asking, "you want one? It's one of my mothers rejected products. i got a bunch of them in my bag." Shinrei sighed softly then reached over and grabbed the device after setting the photo of his sister and her paper cranes down. He took what Hayato offered him and laid it on the table right in front of him which had nothing on it other than his drink and a coaster to set it on. Shinrei signaled with his eyes that he appreciated the gesture but no words came from his mouth. It seemed he was still a bit bothered by something and the mentioning of his mother didn't seem to help the situation either.

Hayato was getting straight to the point dropping his friendly voice for a more serious one after he handed Shinrei the device acknowledging his request for his name. "Hayato Ray, is what you may call me, My mentor's pride and joy was his blue eyes... and I know I am not here for idle chit-chat, what was it that you couldn't say in front of everyone else?" Shinrei listened to what Hayato said, but didn't seem to have any particular interest the small talk. He knew it was time to drop the formalities and get straight to the point. It didn't really bother him that Hayato still didn't recognize who he was. In fact, it was a bit more beneficial toward him since he could remain anonymous without anyone knowing his real identity. He still had a problem that not even he could help himself with since due to the academy's judgment, him and his sister were separated. "What I want to request of you is simple. Before I tell you what you want to know this is what I would like to request. Since I was assigned to the Light Dorms I cannot always keep a watchful eye over my sister. It might be just deja vu, but I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen to her. I need someone to help me keep an eye on her and protect her in my place. She is still very new so she has no friends. You could help me and be her friend at the sametime. To be honest, she's the only thing that really keeps me human and from going insane. Strange, huh?" He paused to give Hayato a chance to answer him. He picked up another photo of him and his entire family including his mother where him and his sister were hugging each other and they both had their peace signs pushed together against the others fingers. Though a rare feature was shown. Shinrei was actually smiling with his sister who also was doing the same. One would think what happened that made these two like they are now? They looked so happy together but now they look like they just wanted to hide their past underneath them. He gave off a long sigh as he returned the photo to its proper position where he had left it before.

After the Duel with Hayato, Leander began following him after being invited to meet his sister. However, Leander lost sight of Hayato along the way. Despite Leander's best efforts, he couldn't seem to find him again. Leander began to worry; he didn't want to create a bad first impression with anyone. After a few minutes of thought, though, Leander decided to let it go, figuring that he would probably just stumble upon Hayate again eventually. Besides, he had a good Duel with Hayato. That was probably a good first impression already. Leander wandered the place before finding the seat he had sat in before being called for the placement duel, and resumed watching the Duels.

Before he knew it, all the Duels for the day were finished. Leander checked the time, and was surprised to find that so much time had passed already. Turns out that people don't kid when they say that time flies. Then there was an announcement to go to the first floor lobby, so Leander got up and made his way to the elevators. There was a large crowd making its way there, so Leander had to slowly walk there with just about everyone else. Needless to say, it was kinda tedious, but Leander wondered how well he did in his placement duel. He hoped he had done alright.

Upon reaching the first floor, Leander was surprised by how dark it was. He couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face. Before Leander could begin to wonder what was going on, a spotlight began to shine, and an old man began to speak. Leander was beginning to think that it was going to be another long and boring speech that few people really paid attention to, but then things got interesting, especially the part when the old man jumped down from the podium. However, the excitement was short lived, and the old man was wheeled away on his wheelchair.

Now there were the real announcements for everyone's placement duels. Leander listened for his name, though it was clear that everyone's names were being mispronounced. Fortunately, his name wasn't mangled up too badly, and he even got a spot in the Light dorm, which seemed like one of the better ones. Leander smiled proudly, figuring that it was probably Avenging Knight Parshath that really made it a spectacular end, although the 6600 Life Points didn't hurt.

Leander made his way to his room, grabbing a sandwich and a water bottle on the way, entered his room and closed the door, and opened his suitcase. Then he sat down on his bed and turned his head to look around the room. It was a nice place, really. A large bed, a closet with some blazers, and some odd-looking device on the desk. Unwrapping his sandwich and taking a bite out of it, he thought about how the day went. Then he realized just how little interaction he did with other people. He was so focused on the duels that he completely forgot to make friends. He then resolved to make some friends starting tomorrow. First, though, was to get ready for sleep.

"ne vous inquiétez pas, it is not a problem." Zacharie looked up at Ben, the handsome knight standing before him extending a merciful hand towards him. An aura radiant, surrounded the Arthurian duelist, benevolence certainly around him as Zacharie took his hand mesmerized by the mere presence of Ben's might. Not that it would have been difficult for Ben to pick up him, or for Zacharie to pick himself up off the ground, but it was a moment for Zacharie to take it in, having collided with Ben resulting in their awkward positioning moments ago. He felt a little hurt when Ben thought he was Vincent, but they haven't quite met yet formally, and Zacharie lacked the strong charismatic personality that Ben had to make his name known already, so the Frenchman forgave the Englishman for misidentifying him as he took Ben's offered hand.

"Merci, I was wondering what the noise was about," He looked down at his soaked shirt and Ben's own, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks as he realized his water pretty much covered both of them, even his Jacket was dripping although his shirt was far worse. "Of course I know you, aîné Carson, Your duel was...Très excitant... I enjoyed watching you," A slight pause as Zacharie took off his wet shirt letting the Jacket cover the majority of his torso for modesty as he started to coil the dampened fabric around itself to be wrung dry. "Win from behind." The continuation was ambiguously placed, meaning any number of things depending on how Ben took it. "La faute est à moi, but could I ask to use your sink to take care of this?" He was referring to shirt of course, what else would he mean by 'this?'

Certainly not the terrible, and now soggy, sandwich he bent over and picked up from the ground and pitched into the nearby trash bin."I thought I would see you in Light, you did so well. A much better spectacle de Coeur than your brother... I don't think zey were fair to you."

[vancexentan]

Ben blushed when the boy praised him and the big goofy smile that Ben usually wore on his face came back as he raised his other hand and waved it. "Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the show! I wanted to make sure it was fun for everyone. You, me, Angelo, the crowd, the teachers, and anyone else watching. But it wasn't anything too good, I mean the duel itself. Medraut is the one who deserves praise without him I'd have been boned. Gawayn, and Peredur both fought bravely but if it wasn't for Medraut's effects I'd have been in deep trouble. I'm not much without my king though given the right circumstances my monsters can be a force of nature on their own. I mean Noble Arms give all sorts of weird effects." Ben stated to the Frenchman with modesty. In honest maybe he was giving Medraut too much credit without his queen Borz wouldn't have been able to activate his effect either. Luck was a major part of his victory it sickened him a little bit thinking on it but it wasn't really something he dwelled on.

"Nah I'm not too bummed on being put in Wind though I do think my affiliation with Light Monsters would've put me better in that dorm Wind, or Earth for that matter, is perfectly fine with me. When it came down to it Andre, my brother, did a lot better job than I did out there. I mean I could've done numerous other plays with Merlin at the start but I went the safe route and picked Peredur so that he couldn't target me with effects and I gained a noble arms if he somehow got around me. Angelo was a good duelist. Probably better than me out there. But you know what I won't disgrace my kin by saying my win wasn't good. I love my Sacred Noble Knight Artorgius. I modeled myself after him and I believe that one day maybe I could be like him. Brave, Strong, Kind, and just. I'm not knight not yet I still got a lot to learn, and a lot to experience. I'm a squire if anything. And the ferocious demon that is my brother proved out there that he wasn't playing games even if he is a lot less friendly he really is a good guy underneath all that hate he has in him. You just got to see it for yourself and don't try to force it out. Andre's dueling skills are not flashy, not nice, and aren't pretty whatsoever but when it comes down to it he was the one who managed to deal with his opponent bouncing his monsters back to his hand while I could barely handle my enemy special summoning his monsters back like crazy and equipping them. Pretty sad considering what my whole deck is based around." Ben exposited to Zach as he pulled his hand away from his head and put his arm down and looked at his deck which was placed back into his deck box. He looked down on it and rubbed his hand gently across it but snapped out of it quickly.

"Oh yeah the sink I guess I could let you borrow mine. Just don't expect my room to be anything like your dorm. You're from the Light Dorm right? It's just a glorified hotel room for an adequet duelist such as myself. HEY HENRY KEEP GOING I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS GUY BACK TO MY ROOM TO CLEAN UP. I RAN INTO HIM AND HE'S GOT FOOD ON HIM. GOOD JOB SO FAR!" Ben shouted to a boy around the corner and a snowy haired white young man nodded at him as he put on a ghostrick Alucard Mask and ran back down the hall. "Alright let's get moving!" Ben said as he took led Zach down the hallway until they got to his room. Ben's room was just how he left it. A bit messy and he still had his Noble Knight poster signed by a number of Pro-League Duelists on his bed. On the shelf were some plastic models of knights, and some magician monsters that were painted fairly well but were a bit rough around the edges. "Don't mind the mess it's alright but it's far from the homey room I want it to be. If the sink here isn't good enough the bathroom is down the hall." Ben stated as he made some gestures on where to go.

Megan looked at the girl in the bunny suit next to her cautiously. It seemed the girl was pointedly ignoring her, but then why'd she sit next to Megan? She could've just eaten in her room. Megan looked at the girl again, if she remembered correctly they'd dueled at the same time. Ethel maybe? She'd gotten into light. Wow, Ethel must be a pretty good duelist if she got into light. Maybe Megan should ask for help? Megan tapped on the girl's exposed shoulder. "Hi, I'm Megan. You're Ethel right? You got all the way into light so you must be a pretty good duelist. Maybe you could watch a few of my duels later and give me tips since I only got into earth. Would that be okay?" Megan asked hopefully. She'd done that gamble on her first turn and it hadn't paid off. Maybe with a few more games and some tips from a light duelist she would better be able to judge when she should do stuff like that. Though this was a gamble as well if you thought about it. Oh well, maybe it would pay off this time.

[The Red Seelie]

Vincent Gulfus & Hayate

Vincent noted down the past history of the girl opposite him. seemed like an awful time to live alone without companionship with the parents favouring the brother in terms of items. It seemed like simple loneliness. The girl seemed all right when she handed him a paper-craft (slight miss shapen paper craft but who cared about that) of a monster that he was impartial to. Weird it was like some sort of spectral entity was reading a sheet of his likes and dislikes. peculiar really. Vincent liked Volcanic rat because of the nostalgia it brought him. He still had that card at home in his drawer in a case. He wasn't going to lie, he liked the gift which had been presented to him, in fact he liked it a lot. He was just about to voice his opinion of how much he liked it until Hayate beat him over the head with a hammer. Thank god it was a toy one but it hurt all the same. The small toy hammer had caught him by surprise. Then the Hayate had the nerve to start dragging him somewhere to get food Before realising the situation. "You seem to be awfully grabby. I need to actually start packing away my stuff though" Vincent said to the girl whom was terrible at the social aspect of things... yet so was he. "You said you wanted to help so... Lets get to work" Vincent said as he opened the door to his room.

"Let's get cracking then" Hayate jokingly started to crack her knuckles which you can surpringly hear it loudly as she entered the room after dropping her own bag in her own room starting off by simply following orders from the other person in the room, even though it was apparent that she should have known his name already but simply forgot.

"Alright so" Vincent began as he lobbed his bag onto his single bed in a moderately luxious room. "Hayate Can you help me put these clothes of mine away" Vincent said as he unpacked his few changes of clothes out of his bag. Placing them carefully on the bed so they where in piles sorted into what type of clothing they were. "yes sir!" Hayate quickly grabbed the clothes and opened the closet that was in the room and stacked it up in the closet kinda not realising she almost stacked the clothes on top of the dorm clothing and set it next to the bed and looked at Vincent saying "since you need it tomorrow-ish I placed it close to your bed" Hayate said to the Vincent really it was something she tended to do at home, and proceeded to sort things out the way she would normally at home strangely enough she stacked the small stack of clothes in order of color which was actually necessary but she liked doing that after finishing up she asked if he needed more help kinda acting more like a sister to Vincent. Vincent inspected the girls handiwork it seemed like he had made a good choice to let her help as it was all neatly piled. Silently he walked over to the closet and started chucking out All of the dorm clothing minus the dark green shirts which he kept. "I don't need all of this stuff" Vincent said as he continued lobbing the clothes behind him. They just weren't visually appealing.

Hayate didnt really pay attention and was met with a barrage of flying clothing knocking her over due to her smaller size, "ow! who turned off the lights!" Hayate said lying on the floor covered with clothing not knowing she was knocked over. Vincent turned to see the girl lying on the floor. His eyes drifting downwards to her he noted her clothing. T-Shirt and skirt which seemed awfully short in its own way. Her panties where visible... Vincent felt something trickle down his noise. "Er Can you get up before a Teacher comes in. I can see your underwear" Vincent said haphazardly trying to stem the flow of blood building in his nasal passages. "W-wait why are you even looking!?" Hayate said scribbling back up grabbing a slightly larger toy hammer and hits Vincent right on the head "if you really wanted to see why didn't you just ask!" Hayate said slightly angry."Ow..." Vincent winced. It was worth it though... totally worth it. He won at life. Yet the wierd comment afterwards took him by total surprise he decided to pretend that it never happened. "Well lets pretend that didn't happen" Vincent said as he looked at his desk and his closet looking for some sort of distraction from the situation. Luckily he just about found one. And ran over to the D-Ciever on his desk. Picking it up he noted that it was one half black and the other half pure white. Fitting for his deck after all.

"You forgot something!" Hayate said as she grabbed a pair of underwear Vincent forgot to take out of his bag and pulled it right over Vincent's head being a little prankster herself sort off paying him back for looking at her like that. Vincent pulled his boxers of his head and dropped on the floor. "ha you got me." He said as he put his duel disk on the desk (he surprisingly still had that thing equipped all this time) Pulled out his Chaos Emissary deck and placed it in his pocket. It struck a thought in his mind as he did so.

"So why did you come to this School Hayate" Vincent said as he began looking at the form on his desk. "Because Hayato told me to save up money to come here, He said it'd be strange without me around." Hayate said scratching her head "I don't know why he would tell me that" Vincent's mind generated a answer to that which he didn't want to say. Looking down at the form for 3 of the luxuries he could select he filled out the first one instantly Laptop. Before continuing with his questions. "Ah seems good. So why did you pick a Blue-Eyes deck." Vincent asked as he continued to mull over his options for the form. "its my dad's pride and joy as a duellist as well as mine. It was the first card I opened when I snuck out to buy packs" Hayate said and tried to look to look over Vincent's shoulder and took a peek at his form "my brother is likely going to see if he can get his hands on a copy of duel dice monsters" Vincent noted that the Girl was getting a little too close. maybe a tiny bit to close but he stood steadfast for now. He wrote down his 2nd Item of choice. An unlimited supply of bottled Mineral Water, they were in a desert after all so it was a smart choice to choose it. Suddenly an explosive thought struck him. "You know you have the same form that I do, right" Vincent said as he explained his idea. "What if we shared the items we got from the forms. that way we could have a larger range of items at our disposal!" Vincent said as the lightbulb went off in his brain. "sure... just... um... be my friend?" Hayate said with a red face as she never actually asked that to anyone, she never had a friend before after all. Vincent just thought of how many friends he currently had... One. Okay yea he would be friends with the slightly strange girl known as Hayate. "Sure I'll be friends with you" Vincent said with a grin.

Hayate smiled and hugged her new friend very tightly and asked what else would be good to have a item to write down as she took out that same form she grabbed from her room earlier with the first option already signed with "Assortment of colored paper and scissors" "Alright so you choose more things to make papercraft with, I choose water and a laptop... what else are we gonna need" Vincent said as he pondered to himself tapping the pen in his hand against his cheek. "what about a few card binders? or do you think that would be off-limits?" Hayate scratched her head and quickly asked "how about we unpack my stuff first?" "Well okay" Vincent said as he walked out of his room carrying his form in his hand along with the pen. While also making sure his deck was firmly in his pocket and his duel receiver was in the other. He waited for Hayate to do the same. His mind adrift with how easy it was to make friends here.

Hayate opened her dorm room once again and placed her bag on the desk carefully taking out a big box full of paper-craft ranging from her own family members and different monsters some even representing duels she had with her brother " taking out the PJ's out of her bag right away which was simply a cute pyjama modelled after blue eyes which she placed on her bed, "can you put the paper-craft materials on my desk while your here?" Hayate asked putting away most of her clothes away which she forgot to sort out in the first place. Vincent pulled out the materials and proceeded to lay them out carefully on the desk seperating the paper and the scissors. "All right I have finished doing that" Vincent said as he stared at the D-Ciever on her desk. It was a black and blue colour, not what he expected. He pulled out his deck for a few minutes and shuffled through the cards. Luckily this would allow him to avoid the hassle that would happen if he actually looked behind him.

"Ok all done!" She said after she silently changed into her pyjama's even if it wasn't late at all but honestly she likes it more than her usual clothing it was modelled after her favourite card after all, she looked at the mirror smiling as she always would when she would wear her pj's which covered her entire body up to her feet and snuck up to Vincent and roared at him trying to sound menacing but came out in a cute way. Vincent Almost dropped his deck in surprise. Then he noticed Hayates change of clothes and thanked the heavens he hadn't turned around. though a small part of him wished he did a little but he ignored it. Still the pyjamas were kinda cute... he was impartial to those pyjamas, "so after you surprised me (in more ways then one), you should have this." Vincent said as he handed her the D-Ciever Hayate grabbed the object wondering what it was for due to her having a hard time remembering things clearly "so this thing is... um... Hayato is better with things like this" Hayate put it back on her desk thinking she probably doesn't need it "I wont need it... im bad with tech anyways..." she said explaining the embarrassing moment she had the moment she received her duel disk. "Oh well I guess you'll be fine then, we still need to fill in these form though. We still have got 3 options left, 1 on mine, 2 on yours.

Hayate started to suggest smaller things that would come in useful while collecting cards like card binders and different types of sleeves for rare cards when something more useful hit her mind or least what she thinks is useful "what about we ask for a microwave?" Hayate blindly suggested to Vincent "Card Binders seem like a good idea... Sleeves not as much considering our limited options. A microwave seems good but what would we use it for" Vincent said as he noted down empty card Binders as his last option. Hayate nodded "we use it for food we sneak out of the cafeteria of course! hmm what about a water boiler and tea bags then?" Hayate started to suggest even more weird specific stuff honestly she was probably suggesting it because she was getting hungry as it was evident by the growling of her stomach. "Well I don't wanna break any of the schools policys" Vincent said to his pyjama wearing friend. "Perhaps we could ask for eating utensils like plates and forks, and Canned things and a can opener." Vincent said to his friend. he was notably started to feel famished as well. "shall we just go for food...? im getting hungry..." Hayate grabbed Vincents hand [color=00aeef]"It's normal to hold hands right? my brother tends to grab my hand when we sneak out..."[/color Vincents face flushed red again ""Depends on the situation at hand, sometime its not but most of the time its okay." he said quickly. "Can I at the very least get changed first. Its been a long day..." He murmured.

"Well I'll be waiting then..." Hayate said walking to the desk with the paper and scissors and started to work on her first paper-craft in advance which she had already decided to be a paper-craft to celebrate her first friend. Vincent quickly ducked back inside of his own room and spent a few minutes getting changed mainly because he didn't want something that look ridiculous. Emerging from his room, he was wearing a white shirt with some black jog bottoms. He was probably going to wear it to bed as well so he made sure he was comfortable in what he had chosen. He knocked on Hayates door

"Come in!" Hayate said with a very serious voice nobody would normally hear as nobody would see her work on paper-crafts which surprisingly was already half-way done. Vincent walked inside of her room and sat down on her bed. Pulling at the D-Ciever to fiddle around with it as it looked like she was busy. "mmrgh... too hungry" Hayate grumbled and simply left the paper-craft as is "Those clothes look comfy but I bet not as comfy as this" Hayate boasted slightly and grabbed the D-Ciever to find a strange friend-list function on the screen "Hey... you know what this is?" Hayate asked her new friend. Vincent looked at what she had pointed to. "that is the friend-list function, it allows you to swap you code with a friend to bug them, whenever..." Vincent said as he turned on his on D-Ciever (which he had transfered to his new trousers along with his CE deck) "I guess we should exchange ours before going to get things to eat right?" he asked.

"we can do that when we get to the food... I'm too hungry... i still get to hold someone's hand right...? i;m actually a bit scared without someone holding my hand..." Hayate stated her last sentence rather softly but still audible walked to the door. "Fine lets get food first and exchange friend codes in the morning" Vincent said as he began walking on ahead. His stomach was being attracted towards the prospect of food entering it. "Yes let's go!" Hayate Grabbed Vincent's hand again due to her habits and walked towards the elevator closing her dorm room door.

[The Grey Dust]

"It really shows," Zacharie replied back immediately after Ben finished his self-reflection, ending on the note of modeling himself after King Arthur. A poor choice of words, maybe, although so far Ben hasn't been able to pick up on the subtleties, nor has Zacharie himself for that matter committed himself to being as brave. Perhaps both had quite a bit to learn, and for this reason they were here. As his duel with Vincent demonstrated, Zacharie preferred the passive route, and more important, the careful route, destroying the backrow in lieu of the monster. He did not know it at the time, however he could have finished the duel in one turn, in two ways as fate handed him the cards needed to win against his friend. The first was to sacrifice Spellbook of Wisdom earlier and use Spellbook of Fate to return the backrow to Vincent's hand, leaving him with no defense against the chaos sorcerer, unless of course he used Spellbook of Secrets to pull the Spellbook of the Master before Wisdom, and Master to copy Secrets to pull Wisdom, and from there add more Fate-Fodder into his graveyard to allow his Priestess to banish Fate itself and destroy the monster card, with no cost to him as Fate was to be recovered by Eternity. And with these moves, he would not have summoned his Alchemist to charge his library, but rather the card he drew as a result of the additional counters from the spells, regardless of Vincent's book of moon to hopefully gain a monster with 1500 or more attack to finish the duel in one shot. "I mean, you are quite similar to him No? Physically and... Personnalité? Well, that was a good recovery, sort of.

"Ze Noble Knights are best when together and holding their swords, ze Archfiends destroy each other to make for themselves, tel duelliste, tel cartes. But I suppose I will 'ave to know le petit Carson better no? His remark to Ben's explanation of their sibling dynamics on their way back to Ben's dorm. It was more convenient after all than hauling a wet shirt, or wearing one all the way back to Light dorm. In comparison to the Zacharie's dorm, Ben's room was quite modest, but certainly more decorated by personal touches, some figurines of knights and sorcerers sitting on a shel and a noble knight poster signed by people Zacharie really ought to know but hadn't the foggiest idea. "Merci, So um, Ben," Zacharie began timidly as he walked over to the sink to wring out his shirt, "Err, I mean eh, Light is not too far from this, I like your room a bit more since you have added much more persona to it. La maison d'un homme est son château. I guess I will 'ave to call you 'king' 'ere no?"

"Merci encore, That should do it." With the last bit of his efforts, some good old physical labor not lost on a boy who spends more time reading than playing cards, or hitting the gym, he unrolled the shirt with a flick of his wrist. Taking off his Light jacket from around his body and setting it on the sink's edge as he put his slightly-drier shirt back on. "Well, I would 'ate to keep you from your célébration, if you 'ave time, feel free to visit me at Light... I mean if you want to, uh you don't 'ave to, what I mean iz, iz only fair for you to get to visit my room after zis eh... Anyways, Bonsoir mon ami. He hesitated at the parting line, almost wanting to instinctively wrap his arms around Ben and do the French thing with him. Although Vincent's earlier warning suggested he keep this tradition to himself and instead offered a handshake instead before shyly making himself scarce from the Wind dorm.

That was quite nice. Not like talking with Vincent nice but, a different sort of nice.

Haas still felt kind of bad about knocking Tsukiko over, even if the girl said it was fine. The boy really should've watched out where he walked... I mean, you just don't do that to people. The boy listened to what Tsukiko had to say, and it seemed to be her asking if Haas wanted to accompany the girl to go and grab some food... Or at least walk towards the place they were handing it out at. And also how she was kind of... Lonely all the time. That made Haas a little more uncomfortable than usual, not really knowing what to reply to that. The boy merely rubbed his left elbow, trying not to meet Tsukiko's rather dimmed gaze. Jeez, what DO you say to that? "Erm... No, it's fine. I mean, it's not fine, but, I can understand how it feels to be lonely... But, hey, let's not worry about it! You're in a new environment, and you'll probably make a ton of friends in our dorm! And, well, I'm here?" Haas tried his best to sound optimistic, giving off a pretty goofy smile in an attempt to try and cheer Tsukiko up.

Damn, the guy probably made a fool out of himself, huh? "A-Anyway..." They swallowed the saliva in their mouth, obviously a bit nervous as to the reaction. "Yeah, let's go get something! Hell, I'll race you if you're up for it. First one there gets to pick the other one's sandwich!" Haas awaited Tsukiko's reply, and if she was on board with the little race, would bolt for it the first chance he got. Knowing the guy's luck though? He'd still lose.

Ethel nearly choked on the piece of bread she swallowed at the time of Megan tapping on her shoulder, blissfully unaware the other girl was still there. Ugh, this little depressed girl was going to talk to her... Maybe it wasn't such a smart idea to sit next to them after all. Well, Ethel was stuck with Megan now anyway... Might as well listen to what they had to say. And of course, the entirely predictable 'Gimme advice' was all Megan had to say. Why should the blue haired girl help out competition? Still, she's not out to make enemies... Saying a few words to satisfy the other might be in order. "Yes I am. Yes I did. I'll think about that offer, it will depend on where I am at the time." There. That should satisfy the other girl, right? Considering they only got into Earth, they didn't really matter that much to Ethel. She had more important people to worry about...

Ethel got up and brushed off her skirt, already having finished the sandwich she was eating. The girl was... Surprisingly fast at it. "It was nice to meet you." Ethel commented before departure, remembering that if you're nice to a person you're more likely to get what you wanted out of them... Or... Something. There had to be a more interesting person to find and talk with, right? Someone who wasn't... Earth. Anyone who wasn't Earth. Though thinking about it, it was probably a waste of time. Ethel decided to just go back to her room, aiming to sink into the first Light hallway and disappear behind her door... If she didn't get stopped by anyone.

When the bus pulled up to Duel Tower, Camryn was, by far, one of the most excited people there. She had gotten a seat near the front of the bus, since she had arrived a bit late, and barely waited for the bus to open its doors before she ran outside, grabbed her suitcase, and hauled it over to the Duel Tower. She had been one of the first people to claim her structure deck and pack, Deepspace Rebellion and Cybernetic Revolution, respectively, and had bounced in place excitedly the whole time while the man behind the counter got her cards. Her placement duel had gone fairly well; she ended up with about half her LP left, and a bunch of Solidarities boosting a Deepspace Berserker for a final, devastating blow. The weirdness of her teachers and principal had briefly put a damper on her high spirits, but she eventually rationalized that they would just end up making her stay even more fun. Her assignment to Wind was a bit discouraging (she had been hoping to make Light), but not unexpected, given the way her duel had ended up.

Since she had been exploring around a lot, she was only just now going to her room, which turned out to be just next to the bathroom. "Joy of joys. I get to listen to people flush toilets all night. At least all the rooms are only meant for one person each." She thought, a bit peeved. Her sullenness changed when she heard a pair of male voices from an open door ahead of her (sounded like one was French, which was neat), and as she sped up a bit, she decided to pop in and say hi.

"Hey, you guys are new here too, right? I figured I should start getting to know my fellow classmates. I'm Camryn Fraser." She stuck out a hand to shake, accompanied by a sunny grin.

Ben thought about how to respond to Zach about his words. Was he really deserving of the title of king? "A king stands on equal grounds to his subjects and serves them as they serve him. I don't see you as the type to bend your knee to me. A friend though I could use and maybe you'd even like to be a part of my recently formed Team Awesome?" Ben said as he looked up at the ceiling and then towards the Light Dorm. Though he did wish the French boy's English was better he did have to correct him on one regard. "No the knights don't stand together." Ben stated as he pulled out both Noble Knights Drystan and Laudsallyn. "Laudsallyn kills his fellow knights to return to the field and or get noble arms from my deck. Drystan while he normally aims for his enemies he can also attack his own king. Sometimes chivalry is just a guise for betrayal. Though I don't play that way and I won't make my knights fall to their own blades if I can help it. I much prefer for Drystan to help Artorgius than slay him for a chance to make Medraut come back. Archfiends on the other hand aren't so sneaky about it but they have their comradery. Think about it for a second. In the seeds of their hellish pandemonium they destroy each other but also revive another. Archfiend Command brings forth a bigger monster. Cavalry's death makes way for soldier. A fallen archfiend is fodder for his emperor to destroy another card on the field. They aren't evil they're just blunt instruments and do what nature dictates them to do. Just because something looks bad and acts that way sometimes doesn't mean they don't leave themselves open to comradely Zach. Even the darkest of people have a close spot for their friends." Ben stated to Zach as he put the cards back into his deck and then grabbed Zach's hand for a firm and warm handshake coupled with a nod.

However before he could do much else a young and pretty young girl popped up in his door way. "Oh another guest? I'm quite the popular guy now aren't I? Well it's nice to meet you Miss. I'm Benjamin Carson and I'm a new member of the Wind Dorm. Thanks for coming by to see me. Also don't mind the posse running around scaring or air horning people they're just trying to throw away all that hesitation going around. It may agitate a couple people but a little agitation goes a long way to making a friend. I hope you're day is going well. My wet friend over here is Zach from the Light Dorm he's here because I ran into him and he wanted to get clean so I let him borrow my sink to wash himself up. He's french by the way so I hope you don't mind the accent I'm sure he's doing his best to talk in English." Ben said as he walked over to the new girl and offered her his hand in a friendly gesture.

[Eklispe]

Megan sighed, she should've known better than to ask for help. Clearly a light student had better things to do, she was lucky she'd only gotten a polite refusal. Megan finished off her sandwich, well nothing for it. Asking for help was clearly seen as pathetic here if that last response had been anything to go. Whatever she would do what she originally planned and stick it solo. Megan idly looked through her cards again as she went back to her dorm for some sleep. XYZ, Synchro, Fusion, she didn't have any of those. Heck she could barely special summon at all! It wasn't that she didn't like her warriors, it was just... they didn't seem good enough. Hmmmm. . .

[Jangel13]

Once Angelo felt that he was rated enough he got up and decided to try and find something to eat. All he knew was that their was a table of food nearby the stairs and Angelo shouldn't go exploring yet since it's still the first day. Angelo grabbed his uniform and put it on as he left he smiled seeing ben start to form a posse with a few of the younger dorm mates. Their were plenty of girls in the group but Angelo only had his eyes set on one girl and she was in the light dorm. He will find a way to her mock his words but Angelo will find a way. Soon Angelo left the room and walked down the stairs soon finding that table, he stayed to take done and put it on a plate to eat...

[The Grey Dust]

Mieux vaut régner en enfer , que de servir dans le ciel. I guess that is ze way of the Archfiends. the French boy shrugged. A bit of Milton works well here. After all, they did rise to serve their cruel overlord. But betray only hurts when it is revealed, not when it festers and rots silently in the relationship. That being said, a new girl appeared out of the blue, well not quite blue, but from down the hallway as she introduced herself in a rather excited manner as Camryn. This happened just as Zacharie was leaving, standing by the doorway and bidding Ben his good night, for the good knight? Anyways casting that thought into the back of his mind and focusing on the new girl who, seemed plain enough, although exotically coloured compared to Zacharie and Ben who were as white as European bread, the inside mind you not the outside. Her English skills however were far more fluent than Zacharie's as he still peppered in his French and drew quite a noticeable accent in his pronunciations.

"un plaisir mademoiselle," giving the girl a bit of a nod, "I was just leaving 'ere so, um, I may 'ave to leave you 'ere with ze charmant monsieur Carson..." Zacharie seemed a bit shy, blushing visibly as he looked back at Ben, who had taken the lead to introduce both of them, taking control of his apostles one by one as he gathered up a bunch of members to his club. "And uh, I would love to be part of your Team Ben. Merci pour l'offre. Mon père was concerned that I would not make any friends and bury myself in my books but..." Oh Zacharie, what did you just get yourself into? Your face is turning redder as you go now. He felt rather odd, not uncomfortable, but certainly like a boiling frog. Something was getting to him, under the collar maybe? His nerves were betraying his usually calm demeanor as the girl appeared and made herself into the wheelbarrow. "Anyways, I should go and... Well, Bonsoir Ben, Bonsoir mademoiselle!"

And with that, Zacharie quickly fled the scene which gripped him so. Well not so quickly as to be rude, but certainly enough to disappear from the end of the Wind hall. His room in sight, a bastion and sanctuary for his mind, and perhaps now emotions as he hurried along his way. He collapsed onto his bed, not even bothering to take a shower given that pretty had that done thanks to Ben, which lead to this rather nice meeting, despite the tail bit. What would tomorrow bring? He wondered as he turned to his side and picked up his book, picking it up right where he left off before nodding off to his dreams.

[Tojin]

Camryn was rather surprised at Zach's motormouthiness, but shook his hand firmly. "Uh, let's see... My day's fine, thanks, also there's a group going around airhorning people? Since when?"

And then the French guy - Zach, she was pretty sure - mentioned something about a team and left, red as a beet. "Also, why was he blushing so hard and what was that about 'Team Ben'?"

[vancexentan]

"I got a group of fellows together who were impressed by my match earlier and went to go rile up some of the dorm mates. Nothing says family like air horns right? No not really I'm kidding, I just wanted to mess with them get them to loosen up a bit. They, the group I just made, wanted to be my friends so I figured why not make 'em my bros and sis? Calling ourselves Team Awesome. Yeah lame name but that's what happens when you give me all of six seconds to think up a group name." Ben said with a chuckle as he pointed down to the hall as Marie Ann came back blushing and looked around, "I kind lost track of our friends sir." the young girl blushed looking a bit ashamed as Ben shook his head. "Don't worry about it Marie those guys will probably get back here soon enough when they tick off the wrong dormie and get chased down the hallway. It's like college. Except without any of us drinking illegally...hopefully. But yeah sorry about that Camryn. I'm a bit of a loose cannon but I'm a nice guy once you get to know me. And I'm not always like this so please don't go profiling me based off...whatever just happened. So feel free to come talk to me anytime. That being said you're free to chill out with me until I get a hold of my new crew. As for frenchy well I don't know Zach well enough could be the dude is shy. Could be he finds you cute who really knows right?" Ben said with a grin and a chuckle. "I hope I don't seem like a lunatic too you I just tend to get stick with whatever is thrown at me. In this case I got a Light Dormie walking into me, and a group of younger kids who like me because I talk a lot." Ben said as Marie Ann looked up at Camryn as she adjusted her glasses slightly.

[Satoshi Kyou]

Hayato had listened carefully to everything that shinrei had told him and had a feeling he knew what happened to his family... after listening to what Shinrei had requested from him, His old memories strung back into his head especially the words Hayate said "That doesn't seem like a request i can reject... back when i was younger i would sneak into my sisters room to play with her... i didn't want to remember this... but being in this room made me remember, She used to say "Don't go! i don't want to be alone again" whenever i would leave... but as time went on i had less time to sneak into her room because fa- i mean my mentor would give me longer lectures" Hayato paused and told Shinrei about his sister's restrictions and being unable to leave her room "so let me ask you this... can you look after my sister in return... you don't have to but... i think she needs someone to depend on... Hayato said and stopped without saying a word again... and simply took out a photo book he wouldnt show anyone, the cover had a few pictures of him and his parents but there was no trace of his sister "look at that photo book when you get the chance... Burn it when your done..." Hayato's voice was filled with regret after realizing how bad of a brother he was and left the dorm room

[Xeiyenreisha]

His old memories strung back into his head especially the words Hayato said, "That doesn't seem like a request I can reject!" Shinrei closed his eyes but the expression on his face showed that he was pleased that he agreed to his request. This was the first time he had actually ever allowed anyone near his sister, but he sensed himself inside Hayato for some reason. He couldn't really explain since it was such a strange feeling that he didn't have the words for.

He had a flashback of his last duel he had participated on the World Circuit. His opponent was Shimazu Osafune. He had remembered that he put the previous opponent in a coma, but didn't exactly know how it happened or why. The committee ruled it was a malfunction with the solid vision system. His opponent grinned because he had four monsters on the field and three face-down cards and Shinrei had absolutely no cards left on the field. "Why don't you give up?" Shimazu smirked since he pretty much held a large advantage. Shinrei held three cards in his hand but that was it and the odds were stacked against him. He had no face-down cards and no monsters on the field. He had only 1800 LP remaining though he wasn't one who quit until the last card was played.

His opponent told him to go ahead and summon the monster already. That his powerful fusion card wasn't going to save him from his ultimate defeat. He then played the Spell Card Mage Stone Excavation. He discarded two cards to recover one Spell Card from his graveyard. The Spell Card he selected was the Quickplay Spell Reload. He activated the card and sent his three cards back into his deck and drew three new ones. Alas, he had drawn the last two cards he needed to win the duel. He played the Spell Card Void Overload which allowed him to reduce his monster's attack points by 500 and add a counter to his card. He reduced it by a 1000 and put two more counters on the card. He could finally summon the monster he used in the last duel to the field and finally end the duel. He had one last card in his hand which would allow him to bypass the effect of his card when it was summoned onto the field.

First he removed five counters and then removed from play the three material monsters and summoned his ultimate monster onto the field. When he did this he activated its effect which destroyed all cards on the field except it. Three counters were added to the card and he played the Quickplay Spell End Game which allowed him to negate the effect that prevented him from attacking with the card immediately by sending the top five cards of his deck to the graveyard. He was finished the person off brutally with a very dangerous look on his face and sadistic smile. He was about to return the card back to his deck when something happened and the card went out of control. It tried to attack the crowd, but he caught a glimpse of his sister who stepped in front of it where he returned to reality not before screaming Tsukiko's name.

"DAMMIT NO!!! WHY!!! WHY!!! WHY!!! WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN!!! NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! CURSE THIS DECK!!!" He pleaded in apparent anger as he had finally returned from the flashback he had earlier. There were tears in his eyes, but he wasn't even aware that they were there. "Why is that memory haunting me again? That damn deck I was given was meant to hurt people... Worse enough I hurt my own sister with it. To think I enjoyed destroying people with it for my own pleasure, what the hell was wrong with me!?" Shinrei questioned not particularly talking to Hayato at all. He didn't literally destroy them. Just brutally defeated them where they were knocked unconscious.

"I'm sorry, I need to step out. The reason I am here is to finally uncover why a certain card I used during the World Circuit went out of control. I am also looking after my sister, but that is the main reason. Once I find out the reason I will return to the circuit and fulfill my sister's promise I made her. To create her a paradise outside of my family's influence!" He yelled at the end of that statement showing that he did not particularly like his family, but he didn't really say why.

"Fair enough, I will watch her when I can." He agreed to the request to watch over Hayato's sister as he showed Hayato out putting the album he left him on the table which he would look at later then as he locked the room telling him later as he grabbed a card and put it in between his two fingers as he walked away heading toward the elevator so he could go outside for awhile and collect his thoughts. When he made his way toward the elevator, he noticed for a second he had passed by a blue haired girl turning his eyes for a second toward her then dropped the card he had in his hand on the floor in front of her as he made his way toward the elevator pushing the button. He thought to himself as he waited for the elevator to open. That girl... No, it's nothing. She isn't important to my initial goal. I need to stop letting petty distractions from detouring my mind...

"Erm... No, it's fine. I mean, it's not fine, but, I can understand how it feels to be lonely... But, hey, let's not worry about it! You're in a new environment, and you'll probably make a ton of friends in our dorm! And, well, I'm here?" Haas tried his best to sound optimistic, giving off a pretty goofy smile in an attempt to try and cheer Tsukiko up. Tsukiko gave Haas a smile though her eyes were still pretty gloomy. Anytime she reflected on her past it was hard for her to pull herself away from it where she continually at times drowned herself with it. "Thank you." Tsukiko said softly as she tried her best to show Haas a smile. She giggled a bit at him being silly so it was a sign that she was at least trying to be happy. Haas was an easy-going person that she didn't have to worry about hurting her. He was so polite that she knew he would comfort her which made her happy despite her eyes didn't want to really show it.

"Yeah, let's go get something! Hell, I'll race you if you're up for it. First one there gets to pick the other one's sandwich!" Haas awaited Tsukiko's reply, and if she was on board with the little race, would bolt for it the first chance he got. "Sure. I'll give you a head start to be fair." Tsukiko agreed as she got ready and then started to walk to give Haas a head start. Since she was trained in martial arts she knew she could easily catch up to Haas in no time so it was only fair to let him go first.

[Jangel13]

Angelo was eating a sandwich at the table enjoying his meal in peace. He wished he could have better food but for their first day here it will suffice. Angelo wanted nothing more then to be a turbo duelist and be the commander of speed. He missed his duel runner back home but he will need to adjust for the time being. After a few minutes Angelo felt that he ate enough and he walked back to his dorm room. Honestly that Ben was starting his own fan club at this point Angelo thought with a grin. Once he was back in his room he changed into his pajamas from his bag then decided to go to bed for good until the next day...

[Ammokkx]

Haas & Announcement that the free time is up.

Haas had tried his best, but it seemed to cheer Tsukiko up only a little. Ah well... Being able to bring a person into even just a slightly better mood is a win, right? Seeing someone sad wasn't fun for anyone, especially not the person themselves. But hey... What did it matter? The guy had a race to win, darnit! "Really? Well, don't mind if I do!" turning on his heel, Haas burst into an instant sprint to be the one to get to the sandwiches first. For glory!

...

And yet the guy still lost, Tsukiko easily closing the gap and taking the lead before Haas was even halfway through the hallway. "N-No way..." they mumbled to themselves, arriving dead last to the table of delicious goods. Seems like Tsukiko got to pick for the both of them... "...Well, fair's fair! Just erm... Don't give me the worst one out of the bunch?" Haas gave a sheepish smile, hoping that fate isn't a cruel mistress, and especially that the girl in front of him wasn't one either...

---

"Attention all students," rang over the intercom "the hour has come to a close. Those still waiting on their food can stay a little bit longer, the rest please make your way to your rooms. You have forty-five minutes to prepare whatever you still need to, afterwards we would like it if you were asleep." And so, the announcement ended alongside everyone's free time.

---

Oh man, Haas couldn't believe it. Did he really waste that much time dawdling on his duel that the hour had already passed?! And he didn't even have his food yet... "Seems like we can't stay much longer, huh..." He kinda mumbled, the disappointment audible in his voice. "Ah, well. Sorry for holding you up, Tsukiko. I'll just leave now..." Haas rubbed the back of his neck, already having forgotten you could still wait on your food if you needed it and made his way back to his room. Man, he'd have loved to have spent just a little more time outside...

Once the guy got into his room, the fact daunted on him they still hadn't unpacked. Damn. And there was that form to fill out too... Ah, hell! This was bad... Haas quickly scrambled around in his stuff, just sort of haphazardly throwing it wherever it needed to go while not caring for how it looked. He'd just spend some time later to organize it all... His spare clothes he just shoved into the dresser, his toothbrush was miles away from the sink... A few, wooden figurines he had were just strewn across the tiny desk with no care for organization... Wait, his figurines? That's right! He could fill that in on his form... Haas bolted on over, grabbing a spare pen and quickly filling in two things: Wooden blocks to carve shapes out of, and a painting set. Both replenished every week. His pocket knife wound up somewhere in the room, he'd just use that to cut out the figurines with... Not that they had much choice in the matter, Haas didn't exactly have any more precise equipment. Before the guy knew it, they were dead tired, stumbling on over to the bed and just sort of... Collapsing on it. Completely forgetting to put on his PJ's, Haas dozed off before he even knew it. And also forgot to switch the light off.

---

Ethel

Finally. The ruckus was going to quiet down. Ethel had been messing around with her D-Ciever a little, killing some time before everyone else had to go to their rooms. The noise outside was unbearable... The girl had already dressed herself in her sleeping wear, which consisted of nothing but her underwear. She grabbed the rabbit at her side and snuggled it a little, getting off of her bed to turn off the lights. Naturally, it was pitch black save for the few rays coming through the door cracks due to the entire dormitory being underground. It was clever, really, you could tell if someone was awake for the simple fact that you'd see light coming from underneath their door. Simple and effective. Ethel made her way back to the bed in the corner, still holding that plushy under one arm all the while. Snugly tucking herself under the bedsheets, she dozed off to get a good night's sleep.

---

The next day.

Some people might have set an alarm clock. Truthfully, that wasn't a bad idea. But nobody could be prepared for what'd actually wake them up the next morning. Every single speaker you could find around the dorms activated at once, revealing a very energetic and familiar voice on the other end. "EVERYBODY GET UP!!" rang loud and clear, Melchior's voice blasting away anyone's ears. It wasn't the guy himself that actually said that though, it was an automated message that would play every. Single. Day. At the exact same time. The academy thought it'd be a great idea, considering the guy never shut up as is anyway. A few minutes following Melchior's lovely awakening, the intercoms flared up again, though this time only for the first year students. "First years, please make your way over to the cafeteria on floor four within the next one-and-a-half hours. You will be able to eat breakfast there, afterwards please look to your Duel Trancievers for your lessons for the day." As soon as it appeared, the voice left again. Students had a bit of time to prepare themselves for the morning, being free to do whatever they wish until they went to get breakfast.

Floor 4 was about what you'd expect in size, but the cafeteria was amazingly pretty. For being a mess hall, the walls and floor were pretty much polished until they shone, and the personnel behind the take-away counter didn't have a speck of dirt on their uniform. The room was neatly organized with round tables and a few counters alongside the walls, chairs of various lengths included to go alongside the various levels of tables. There were specific areas for 1st, 2nd and 3rd years, as well as an entire corner to the dark dorm, but the dorms themselves under the various years didn't seem to be split up. 1st years were furthest in the back, while 3rds were closest to the door. Students that came by elevator would see a line on the floor guiding them to the long table, which was filled up with various flavors of bread and things to go along with it. There didn't seem to be much more than bread on offer, and a lot of the sweeter things you could eat in the morning was left out. Everything was fresh though, and at the very end you could grab a few choices of drinks to go alongside it: Tea, Coffee, Orange juice, milk or just plain water if you preferred it.
