Location: Outside Lauzurus school
You wait for a few more moments before you spot an old grey bearded man walking up to the group. He's wearing a red robe with orange patches all over it. The robe almost seems as worn as the man who is wearing it. He shuffles forward in his sandals until he is in front of the group.
-"Welcome apprentices to Lauzurus school for gifted children!" He spoke with a shaky voice. "I for one am very happy to see so many new pupils wanting to take on the wonderful craft of magic. My name is Jan and I'm in charge of taking care of all the new pupils here at the academy. If you would be so kind and follow me I'll show you to your cottages."
Ted and you pick up your things and start following Jan with the rest of the group. You follow a wider path through the woods until you reach another clearing.
It looks like someone sprinkled cottages all over the places, they are so many. It might get hard to find your way here. You think while walking through the labyrinth of houses. You stop at a larger open space where Jan picks up book hanging from his belt. He quickly flips through it until he reached the page he wanted.
-"I'll be giving you your keys now. You'll get over here when I call your name. Boys will be getting the blue keys and girls will be getting the red. You are not allowed to switch keys with each other or sleep at another person’s house. Disobeying the rules will be met with punishment."
He then proceeds to call out names of various boys and girls who walk up and get theirs keys. Everyone looks fascinating at Jan who seemingly creates keys from thin air.
-"Ansel Chaisty, Ted Rahlus, James Brightshield and Auron Zecane."
You walk up to Jan alongside your new roommates.
-"Your cottage will be 81 Blue." all four of you get a copy of the blue key.
When everyone had received their keys Jan closed his book and looked up with a smile on his face.
-"Feel free to do whatever you want for the rest of the day. I recommend you make yourself at home at your new cottages. I'll wake you up early tomorrow morning so make sure you are well rested. Have a pleasant evening!" Jan walked past everyone and back to the school without even leaving any instructions on where you are supposed to find you new homes.
Together with your new roommates you search for your house, eventually finding it at right end of the little village. Ted walks up on the porch and tries his key. With a creek the door opens and the inside is revealed. The room is pretty simple; four beds are lined against walls, every bed with its own nightstand. Under the beds is room for your bags and there is also a potty there. A round table with chairs is placed in the middle of the room and there is a corner for cooking. Lastly there is an empty shelf, probably meant for school books. You and your roommates pack up in silence. When you are done making yourself at home you look out of the window seeing that there are a few more hours until bed time. What do you want to do? (Open choice)
