"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Kate replied with a grin. "And I totally get that some people don't like things they consider 'weird' but your voice makes me think of my old pal Nykannis, so it kinda reminds me of home, y'know?"

"Oh, I'd be delighted to!" Parr announced at Sarah's suggestion of helping her with her homework. "In fact, I have just the tool for the task, my father's patented time dilation apparatus! It speeds up time within a localized area so that those within can spend a week, for instance, working on a problem or project, while outside the bubble, only a few seconds have elapsed. Perfect for meeting tight deadlines!"

Good heavens!" Parr exclaimed after Mela had revealed her backstory. "That is simply an astounding tale! My goodness! I never dreamed I'd make the acquaintance of such a fascinating individual! Fortune truly has smiled this day!"

"My magic? Why, I'd be delighted to tell you! It primarily involves the manipulation of, and transit through, time, as well as the creation of devices that facilitate such activities. It really is quite a fascinating field, one that was introduced to me by my highly renowned father, Parrthineas E Doxon the Zeroth. Perhaps you've heard of him?"

"Just a quirk, huh?" Kate noted after Alura's explination for her...interesting speech pattern. "Well, it's nothin' to be embarrassed about. Like I said, it makes ya sound really cool."

"Apple Magic, you say? How delightfully facinating! And how wonderfully fortuitous for an apple connoisseur, such as myself, to share a room with you! I simply cannot wait to witness your abilities in action! Oh, but you've never heard a Canine speak before? How very strange... But wait! You said you hailed from Ostfeld, did you not? Well, that explains it! You poor child! I imagine you must have lived a very sheltered life there, far from the cosmopolitan cities of the East! Well! We shall make up for your lack of knowledge this very instant! Please, inquire of me all you wish to know."

"Nice to meet ya, Alura!" Kate told the cheerful girl with the odd speech pattern. "Love the voice thing, by the way," she added as she looked over the trio of rooms.

"I don't really need a lot of space, so I'll call dibs on this room here," she said, pointing her thumb at the single-bed room nearest the door.

Kate

@Liseran Thistle @Cotton

After her meeting with the Headmistress, Kate had made her way to her new dorm room. As she approached, she heard voices coming from within.

Huh, I thought I was only gonna have one roommate... Oh well! The more the merrier!

Putting on her most friendly smile, Kate strolled through the open door.

"Hey guys! I'm Kate Carson. Looks like we'll be rooming together. Sorry I'm a bit late. I just got finished helping Councilor Betty deliver some papers."

"Well of course I'm talking, my good lady!" Parr replied to Sarah's inquiry, his indignation clear in his voice. "Good heavens, miss! I should think you've encountered a Canine before!"

"Communal showers?" A refined voice asked with noticeable interest. "How very exciting! What a wonderful opportunity it will provide to build camaraderie with our fellow students! Oh! And you must be Sarah and Mela! How delightful to make your acquaintance! I am Parrthineas E Doxon the First, but you may call me Parr for short! I have been informed that I shall be sharing a room with you good ladies, and I greatly hope that we can all become the closest of friends!"

"Due to some rather regrettable circumstances, I arrived at the welcoming party just as everyone departed for their room assignments. No sooner had I grabbed a small snack than I found myself completely alone! Utterly bereft of the boistrous socilazation I had so greatly anticipated! So, you must do me the kindness of telling me all about yourselves! Where do you hail from? What magic do you specialize in? And, do either of you smell apple? It is one of my favorite fruits!

"Hey, that's not a bad idea!" Kate noted, after Betty had suggested that delivering some applications might put the headmistress in a more receptive mood. "Just point me in the right direction, and I'll see that they get to her safe and sound! Oh, and don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident that once we've had our little chat, she'll be glad that I decided to visit her academy."

Parr

Parr had just left his interview with the admissions officer when he noticed a colorful flyer pinned to a bulletin board on the waiting room wall. “Welcome Party for the Class of 4997” it announced.

“Jubilation!” he exclaimed, his tail wagging happily. “That sounds like wonderful fun!”

He checked the time.

“Hmm, it’s already gotten underway, but if I hurry I shouldn’t miss too much.”

Then he noted the date.

“Oh, fliddleflam! It would appear that I missed the party by a full day! Not to worry, though!” he announced to no one in particular. “Everything shall be made right with the aid of my temporal compressor!”

Not wasting another second, the canine produced a strange device that looked somewhat like an hourglass. Its twin crystal orbs contained not sand, but rather a pair of complex gyroscopes, which spun and whirled at a dizzying speed. After holding it aloft for all of the room’s non-existent occupants to see, he pressed an elaborate activation rune on its base, after which the entire universe appeared to come apart at the seams. For the briefest of moments, sounds were colors, colors were sounds, day was night, night was day, people’s insides were on their outsides, and outside the bounds of the multiverse, an entire pantheon of eldritch beings was sucked from their vast, extradimensional realm and squeezed between the teeth of a small mouse.

But only for the briefest of moments.

Then, the inconceivable insanity collapsed back into relative normality. The “relative” part must be stressed here, for although Parr, along with some of the other late arrivals, were now a full day in the past (and, indeed, had always been a full day in the past), the new historical narrative was not without its fair share of, shall we say, incongruities… For instance the admissions officer was quite unsure if a certain possessed applicant had provided her application during an interview, or if she had used a portal to deliver said application via slimy tentacle. Meanwhile, another application had simply winked out of existence, although the hole in the wall made by the equally non-existent Wyvern that had (never) delivered it still remained. Such strange timy-wimy things often happen where temporal manipulations are concerned.

For his part, Parr didn’t even bother to give it a second thought. He had arrived, and that was all that mattered.

“Salutations, fellow students!” He called out in a jovial voice, hoping to make a grand and dignified entrance.

@Ponn As interesting as she was, she is still that player's character. Furthermore, with the 10+ staff characters and my two mages, I am a bit at my limit of how much I can handle.

@Zinita

No problem, it was just a suggestion. I also made sure to tag PsyBlade so they could give their thoughts on the matter, and/or their permission, if you did want to do such a thing.

I was never advocating simply taking their character. I apologize if it came across that way.

@Zinita

"Hey there, Councilor Betty!" Kate said with a friendly smile as she walked up to the slime. "I'm Kate Carson, though you probably already know that," she added with a chuckle. "I was wondering if you wouldn't mind setting up a little appointment for me with Miss Great and Powerful herself. I imagine she was probably a bit displeased when she found out I'd be staying with you guys, but I just want to personally assure her that I don't intend to cause her any trouble. I'm here for a vacation, so I'd kinda like to get things off on the right foot, y'know?"
