Open at all times, the Dining Hall provides a place to get good food with little to no work on your part. Living dolls of all shapes and sizes serve as waiters, refreshing drinks and bringing food to tables.
↘↘↘ Her alarm clock had been incredibly loud when she first awoke, her eyes blinking open and fluttering for a few moments as she turned her head towards the beeping monstrosity. "I don't miss you." She growled softly, reaching over and shutting the damned thing off. Her father had packed her one in the bags he had waiting for her, she was kind enough to use it, but she still disliked it. Who ever decided that the first thing you need to hear when you wake up is incessant beeping? Sighing softly, Ash got out from under the covers and swung her feet over the bed before getting ready. It didn't take long for her to get dressed, not when she dressed with such scarce clothes. Tight shorts and what looked strangely like a bikini top in addition to her sweatshirt. The material was comfortable against her skin as she zipped it closed, taking a moment to collect her thoughts before heading out of her room. Her last bag would have to wait, she was hungry. "For those of you planning on going out today!" She started, shouting loud enough for her room mates to hear, "I'll be finding whatever cafeteria like place this school has to offer, feel free to meet me down there when you're ready!" Ash finished, stretching and letting out a small noise as her arms extended. That noise shocked her but she let it pass, descending the steps quickly as she reached for what had looked like the door out of this place. She didn't want to think long about what had happened last night, the way they had quarreled or all the stress that seemed to be brought on. It was an odd thing to be stuck on, so she quickly dismissed her worries and focused on finding food.
↘↘↘ It took a little longer than she had expected, but as she finally crossed the threshold of the Dining Room she breathed a sigh of relief; that soon became an exhale of shock. "What.." She started getting out, her eyes now set aflame with Rift energy as she looked around the room. A room filled with living mannequins of a sort, all wearing fashionable garb. They looked like... Servants. Something she was accustomed to as a child but hadn't seen in a very long time, "Hello?" She called out, but the dolls didn't respond to her call. Ashlynn walked around them, her eye taking in all that she could without actually activating before she decided to take a seat at one of the tables. No food was readily apparent, and it seemed that her schedule of waking up early had let her be the first student at the dining hall. "I wonder if they'll show up." Ash spoke to herself, reclining in her chair as she waited; from the look of the mannequins, it seemed to her that things moved autonomously around here. They would most likely bring her whatever they were serving today when it was finished, with her being so early, she wouldn't be too surprised if it took a while. To bide the time, Ash reached out and lifted one of the forks from in front of her; fiddling with it and spinning it through her fingers at different directions. It was a simple trick, simply used to occupy her thoughts as she waited.
☆MOOD ▬ ❝ caring/ concerned ❞ ☆LOCATION ▬ ❝ Forbidden Dorm ❞☆COMPANY ▬ ❝ All of Team Forbidden I think ❞
Tanis did not sleep well when she did. She had been worrying over how things had ended for the night, a rubix cube still in her hands she had managed to solve it by staying up all night! as the alarm beeped she slithered out towards Simons door and pinned a note to the door: " Dear Simon. I do not know of your past and i will not demand to know, but should you need a friend i will be there.. oh i found your rubik's puzzle on the floor.. i solved it.. i will return it to you later when you are fit enough to join us Be safe my friend "
a springy Ashlynn spoke about food and he would follow, food was a good idea. even if her robes were crumpled and her hair left to fall on her shoulders. rather than her hair usually pinned up, she would go and make these opportunities to make the efforts to talk to her team and build those bonds.
it was not hard to Find Ashlynn once she had her scent. And the food smelt just as Amazing, her stomach churned at the emptiness, months of fasting having lead her to salvate. " Sssorry.. am i late? i was leaving a message for Sssimon.. i did not ssslep well....how did you fare?" Tanis Questioned curiously wondering about Ash, she would note her twiddling the fork and were impressed by the trick wishing she knew how to be as nimble. She would slide herself to seat at the table in front of Ashlyn more focused in her actions than the decor or the mannequins roaming.
↘↘↘ Surprisingly, the food didn't take long at all to be brought out to her. The first inclination to it's arrival was the side door being opened, followed suit by the living doll that carried a plate full that's scent was wafting towards her quickly. It smelled delicious.. The scent alone whetting her appetite as her eyes tried to peek over the rim of the plate to no avail. Instead, she waited patiently for it to get to her; her attention so focused she didn't even hear Tanis entering the hall from behind her. Her plate had just been set down in front of her as Tanis managed to speak, the living doll quickly retiring back the way it came. The initial shock made Ash jump a bit, sighing softly as she gathered her senses she exhaled softly. "It's alright, didn't hear you coming though.." She remarked, watching Tanis sit down; Ash set her silverware down for a moment as she glanced towards Tanis as she managed to slide into a seat "I slept well, how is Simon doing? Did you get to talk to him?" Ash asked kindly, but soon started to look towards her food.
↘↘↘ She reached out for her silverware and started to dig into her plate, which was filled with scrambled eggs, two buttered toasts and a few strips of bacon. She started chewing on bacon as she looked over towards Tanis, not sure as to what to say now; so instead she focused on eating as much as possible. As she was starting on her eggs she glanced upwards towards Tanis once more as another living doll approached with a pitcher of orange juice. "Are you hungry?" She questioned, trying to make decent conversation.
"What is this... This power?""I never asked for it." "It just took a hold of my life,""And it's not letting go."

╔══════════════════════════╗ PT:
Red orbs had turned to Tanis, happy she could actually know her name finally, but shook her head. She didn't think Simon wanted any help, though the offer was nice on her part to offer it.
"When he's ready, he'll come out," she said, her arms still crossed and she swiveled her head back to Josiah as she was still leaning on the frame of his very destroyed door.
She was about to make another sarcastic quip, but the boy stated something about bed after he had calmed. Shrugging, patting the frame, she threw up her hand in dismissal and walked over to Tanis still standing by the door. She would have reached out to her, but it would have been a rather stupid thing to do seeing as she didn't even know the merch. Instead, she shrugged with a simple smile on her face and nodded to Ash as she also was going to bed.
"Well I guess the grizzly is correct," she sighed, scratching the back of her head before playing with her long strands. "We should all hit the hay, get up early tomorrow. Get some food and refuel and then, I don't know, just explore the school."
She waved once more before knocking on Simon's door. She waited, looking to Tanis before shrugging again and walking to her room.
She grumbled when an alarm she did not put next to her on her the side table began to ring. The table was too far away for her to grab seeing as the bed was in the corner, and she swore loudly as her half naked body traversed the small space to turn it off.
"Do we all get one or did I just not notice you?" she pondered to herself, shaking off the sleep from her eyes with a yawn.
Turning and opening the bathroom door, her eyes still squinting from the sunny rays that made residence in her room, she washed her face quickly and brushed her teeth. It was strange, yet cool that all of her stuff had been unpacked for her, though more of her unmentionables would have to be liberated from her suitcase by her. She grabbed a quick shower before drying herself off and wearing the most comfortable thing she could find. Which happened to be the red and white uniform from her own school back home. She didn't much care about wearing the frilly looking thing, and much rather would wear this to not restrict her movements than jeans.
"The school's protected by magic anyways," she said to herself, half doubting it when she uttered the words.
Sighing, she combed her asymmetrical hair and exited her room. She heard Ash shouting from the bottom floor and peered over the railing for her to finish. Her stomach rumbled and she shrugged. Better time than any to get some food, she guessed.
Kyrio followed the girl, though didn't make her presence known. She saw Tanis also in her peripheral and wondered if the boys just slept in on their own terms or if they decided to do something else. When she traversed into the dining hall, at least she thought it was as they entered, the magnificent view rivaled that of the entrance they had all been teleported to the night prior. Mannequin like people walked around, mostly standing by the corners hidden from view, creeped her out to the extreme and when she heard Ash call out to them, they didn't move.
As she watched in the corner, closer than comfort to one of the living dolls, her brow quirked from the precision Ash was using on the mundane challenge of twiddling a fork around. She studied the move intently, knowing she could not safely copy it, and her mouth watered when the mannequins brought over a plate full of food. Enough waiting then, she thought as she kicked herself from the wall and sat down at the table with ease.
"Mornin' all. Did you also get an excruciating wake up call from a magic alarm clock?" she asked, happy another doll was coming with orange juice and offered her cup. She didn't think on where it came from, and simply lifted it up to be served. It would only be another moment before another came back with another plate, this one filled with bacon, toast, grits, sausage, and multiple slabs of waffles. "Huh," Kyrio said, "just how I like it at home. Interesting."
Looking back up she smiled and said, "So what's on the agenda for today?"

Simon hadn't slept much that night. He heard the girls talking outside his door for a little while, fully conscious of Tanis' gentle hiss outside his door for about an hour after everyone settled down. He was only awoken by a mysterious alarm that appeared on the desk, which even after he had turned it off twice and threw it across the room, it still sang on. He groaned in complaint, but at last he sat up and stood. Having heard everyone else leave, he took a cold shower to try and stave off the only-now-rising tiredness. He washed Norman in the sink, but when he dried him off he simply left him in his cage and went on by himself.
He plunked down the stairs and left the dorm, eventually following the smell of fresh food to the dining hall, just as he saw the girls getting their food. He hesitated for just a moment, but as his stomach growled achingly he grimaced and passed through the doors to sit down next to Tanis. Almost immediately a girl, or perhaps as he later discovered; a doll, brought him a cup of black tea with mint creamer. He stopped and sniffed it, eyebrows narrowing in confusion as he took it from his nose and stared suspiciously at the doll, who simply walked back into the kitchen. "This place is weird..." He said quietly, then took a long drink of his hot, flavoured drink. He had only discovered the combination about a week prior, and hadn't even had had much an opportunity to tell his parents. The doll came out again, expressionless and pale, but Simon's eyes were planted on the plate in her hands. soft boiled eggs and sliced toast, along with smoked ham and scrambled eggs. "Thank you." He said to the automaton, though it neither looked at him or made any motion that he was really there at all. His attention returned to his female dormmates and he smiled awkwardly, then promptly began to pick at his food. One night was definitely not enough to get passed the idea that perhaps the others wouldn't run from him, hide from him, or report him for indecencies he never committed. Spiders had always been naturally shy creatures, and it may have appeared that his outward lavish and open personality from the day before was just a cover to hide under. "Good morning..." He said to the girls, giving them a slight, polite smile of recognition. "Josiah didn't come down yet?" He asked carefully, nervousness a little more evident than before.
"If I show you then I know you won't tell what I've done..." ╚═══════════════════════════════╡♓╞═══════════════════════════════╝ "Because two can keep a secret, if one of them is dead."
Aria watched in a hesitant silence as the ivory-haired Julianna began to bare her proverbial fangs to the others of the team in the open area below. She felt a twinge of guilt as the woman's rage was then directed to a completely unfamiliar, innocent bystander donning white garbs. They seemed skittish initially, so seeing them become the brief subject of her lashings made her slightly cringe. 'She's like a drill sergeant..' The winged girl wasn't used to such intrusive aggression, and what followed after actually got under skin.
Her wings flared up in visual defense, making herself seem larger as the cacophonous crack left her feeling rigid. Her harsh words cut through the space between them like a cleaver as Aria's eyes stretched with surprise of the initial noise, but as Julianna went on, her brow furrowed with slight agitation. The darkened feathers jostled once as they ruffled, making her wings seem they gradually doubled in size. 'Leave me to die..' Unbeknownst to herself, it was merely a reaction of her rising, conflicted annoyance, but she remained silent as the crimson-eyed woman turned her back to her and sauntered away.
Though she stood there for a moment in silence, the air around her felt heavy with unresolved tension. The staggering girth of her wings beat once as she briefly bowed her head, sending a slight breeze across the walkway; her once white-knuckled fists relaxed as she rested a hand on her hip and sighed, giving the few remaining downstairs a brief passing glance. "..Sleep well, everyone." she huffed through an exhausted little smile, though her tone rang clearly of her discomfort. Without another word, she too went back to her room and shut the door, allowing only the dim light beneath the door to splay across the floor. Her biking shorts then hit the floor, followed by her vest to lay in a crumpled mess at the foot of her bed. She'd get them tomorrow--he blue optics then lazily drifted to the shirt laid across the loveseat--she'd have to get that tomorrow too. But for now..
Fwump. Her small frame fell belly first across the charcoal grey sheets as her arms & wings spread out along either side. The sheets felt cool against her skin, but the bed itself was heaven-sent. It was hilarious, she thought that not only was she given a bed, but she was given a full-sized one at that for someone so small. 'Not like I'm gonna be sharing it with anyone.' she thought as her lids immediately grew heavy from the day's events. It was better that way anyway, she had all the space she needed for both her and her wings..
"Hm.." Quietly, her fingers touched one of the feathers lining the inside as it pressed her arm flat against the bed. Unlike the outer feathers, these were soft to the touch, silky even. They were real again. It felt strange, having that puzzling fear of having 'lost' them....she figured she would've been ecstatic, and yet, she was terrified and lost like the handful of others screaming at the school entrance. Julianna's piercing gaze and biting words flashed in her mind, refreshing herself of that bitter taste left in her mouth. She wanted to say something back, who was she to determine her worth to the team? The blonde's brow furrowed once more, though her expression seemed somewhat pained rather than angry. She could deal with disgruntled people relatively easily, but tearing into her personally for her honest reaction, that irked her the most.
'I don't see how she expects up to be a team with that kind of mindset, anyway. I thought the idea of a team was that no man got left behind.' The words sounded bitter in her mind, though there was a part of her that felt similarly to Julianna's ideals. She needed to be strong for herself, team or not. She couldn't have herself rely on others, nor would she allow herself to be the one to bring the entire team down. If she was going to be disposable, she atleast wanted to be useful. A low growl then shattered her thoughts. Her stomach let out a pitiful moan of the thousands of calories she burned just flying to the damned place. And she completely forgot her Milk Tea. Regardless, she would remedy this in the morning. With food being the dominating thing on her mind, the blonde quickly drifted to sleep.
With the break of dawn, Aria had left the dorm room sporting a new pair of similar, fitted bike shorts and her sleeveless white hoodie. After the bitterness of last night, she wasn't too fond of the idea of running into anyone other than Mei or the innocent bystander, though her discomfort wasn't what drove her to explore so fervently that morning. Food. She needed food. Anything, and a lot of it. Having such a high metabolism was a killer on her wallet, if she ever had any money, so she was usually good about having snacks to appease her hunger pangs. Here...different story. If she wasn't following the flow of students, she was following the scent of possible breakfast. And snacks to bring with if the rules allowed such a thing. But she was going to eat.
It didn't take long to see that she had stumbled upon quite the grand set-up of what they called a Dining Hall, though it seemed more like a scene ripped from the pages of a fairytale. She suddenly felt very small and under-dressed, though the attire of the other students reassured her for the time being. No one familiar yet, she thought, slightly regretting the fact that she didn't ask Mei to tag along. They were certainly interesting characters by the looks of it, though. Aria then tucked in her wings to the best of her ability and kept close to the walls; they were still cumbersome height-wise but it was enough to get around without causing too much of a commotion. She quickly found a seat a bit farther away from the group--the entire team, maybe--but just as she did in the dining car, she kept close enough to observe them from afar, innocently of course. Just as she got her and her wings settled, a strangely composed waiter of sorts approached, asking her of her order. "O-oh..." Her stomach whined as she offered the Doll a pitiful grin, then quietly explained her order. "I hope that's okay, heh.." It left with nothing more than a nod and a smile before disappearing down into another corridor, leaving the winged girl to her own devices in the meantime.
Though she knew it was usually rude to stare, she was thankful to have the group as a distraction to her impatient stomach. There was a young school girl, a handsomely pretty silver-haired man, and another raven-haired beauty, though the most interesting of the bunch was the naga-esque woman. Though he appearance was startling, she was actually starting to get used to things of the sort. 'Most likely animal aura like me..' The word 'animal' still felt weird to have as her title, but it was the only logical thing she could think of after having Edward explain to her what they were. Generally speaking, of course. She wondered what the rest were, seeing as they were as noticeable as the snake woman herself. Magic, elemental, physical...she propped her chin in her palm as the possibilities filed through her mind. What bothered her however, was the instinctive urge to keep her eyes locked on the snake woman. She consciously meant no harm to her, she hadn't even met her! But something within the winged girl made her feel a bit...hungrier, than she first though.
It was entirely too soon after that the oddly composed waiter returned with several plates in hand, along with a paper bag neatly folded and set on her table. Several plates littered with various meats, fruits, rolls, and layers of cream & fruit-topped waffles, cup of milk tea, were expertly placed before her, hot and ready to eat. Having her hunger put out on display was a tad embarrassing, but lookit this spread! Her crystal blue orbs marveled at the sight before her, it had been years since she had a hot meal to eat her fill like this, and it all looked as though it were made from scratch. "T...thank you.." she breathed, now eyeing the slabs of ham, and the Doll continued on his merry way.
Tanis noted Kyrio and gave a nod in her direction to Acknowledge her. Listening to Ashlyn and Both responding them, Tanis spoke, No i did not...i were pacing the room and ssslithered back and forth from his door for a good hour or so ..i cannot remember when i ssslept ..but i woke up to the soundsss of an alarm clock...so yes Kyrio i think i heard it too...I wass going to check on Si--" then came Simon who sat beside her "Good morning Sssimon.." she spoke to him and shook her head "Oh hello Simon..i were just talking to the otherssss about checking on you again after food, As for Josiah... i do not know i have chosen to give him a rather wide berth... I don't think he likes me..i seem to make him very uncomfortable..." she said looking at Simon with a sigh only briefly looking in his eyes " on a good note i finished your puzzle..i hope you do not mind" she could feel someone staring at her and locked sight on Aria, she had seen her before on the dining cart briefly on the train and waved her over trying her best to be social " this place isss very weird .. those Mannequins make me un easy but bring quite nice food from the taste and smell.. " she said, she looked at the group nervously as some meat buns were placed in front of her and she brought one to her mouth, she managed to fit the whole thing in her mouth and swallowed. In truth she were trying to show Simon he should not be so worried about his aura and even looked at him in that moment with a drowsy voice " Simon..i am a snake girl.., Demon...Cursed...Scales..Some of the Names i've been called.. snake girl..naga and freak..by many...you are what you are.. do not allow others who have failed to see the real you to chip at your core..besides Spiders are clever hunters and skilled artisanss..Kyrio..ash what are your skillss i forgot to quesstion due to the eventsss of last night.." she said giving a yawn not out of boredom but out of the fact she grew sluggish from eating.

╔══════════════════════════╗ PT:
Mei's peripheral caught sight of a very pretty girl, their hair green and luxurious, shimmying her way into the kitchen. She smiled at them, waving slightly, before JackJack said something. Her chestnut hair pooled around her shoulders as she tried to listen to what the boy was saying, but was so perturbed by his words that she swung around to Julianna when she heard her getting off the window sill.
Her hair stood slightly on end, and she could feel the pulse of electricity off the girl in waves. It was just below the surface, tearing away at her and all Mei wanted to do as she hissed was hug her. Instead, with her face as neutral as she possibly could make it, she allowed Anna to speak down to her. Mei had enough mind to look down to the floor, her training from all her days at the temple telling her exactly what to do, and she stood there at attention until Anna moved away from her.
Mei was aware of her failures, she always failed the tests really, and she had nothing to say against it. She thought, just once, meeting someone new would yield her the pleasantry of winning finally but that was obviously far from the case.
She would have stayed silent, her fists clenching to her sides and her face glancing downward, but when she heard Julianna speaking harshly to Aria, it broke her resolve. That wasn't right, it wasn't okay. Aria had lost the one thing that made her different, that made her special. That made her a freak. She turned sharply, jumping the large gap from the floor to the bannister, and hunched over on it as her fingers pressed against the metal. Julianna had already made her escape to one of the rooms, Mei's room at that, and the little girl gave Aria a soft pat and a large grin before entering her domain.
Slamming her door, no longer seeming like the bright and bubbly girl any longer, she looked to the white haired girl standing opposing her and she whispered, "You're not by yourself anymore. We're a team now, we work together and we help each other through things. If one falls, the others take their place. If you get hurt, we rise and wash over the enemy like a tidal wave ready to submerge all. You're the weakest link in this team right now, missy, and that's not gonna change any time soon until you start acting like a grown up. Even JackJack is more of a team player than you, and I'm pretty sure he's insane!" She took a breath, her orbs slitting and her canines baring.
"I hate what I am. I really hate it to my very core. Tigers are just things that destroy, they have no souls, and they demolish anything they lay hands on. But do you see me going about and making everyone feel sad and bad about themselves? No! Because we're a team, and teams stick together. If you don't wanna be apart of this team, then fine! But I'm not gonna give up on you, even if you have already on me."
Her body relaxed, her hands no longer in fists and she said softly, "Now go get some sleep. You're in my room."
Mei's hair splayed about her as she awoke the next morning. Her arm flung itself upward and she pressed the sleep out of her eyes with a closed hand. Grunting and lightly moaning, she pushes herself up and sits her butt, stretching as she does. Slumping down again, her hand in her hair scratching over her ears, she pushes herself up onto the cool wood and walks to her bathroom. Doing her business, she's suddenly a ball of energy as she does a few kicking, punching, and breathing exercises in the large space she now sleeps in. She does more somersaults, with drop kicks attached, than anything, making sure her body is in complete working order, before placing her hand on her arm and stretching.
"Time to start the day!" she says happily, moving out of her room and down the stairs, forgetting yet again to put her shoes on.
Jumping down from the second level, she hears the chime of her small ankle bracelet and walks out of the dorm without a word goodbye to anyone there. She does leave a note, however that reads:
Food comes first! Gotta refuel, all. Exploration is key, so find cool places around the school today!
Happy at herself for leaving such a grown up note, she begins walking down the long stretches of hallways and moving stairs before finding herself in a very familiar area. The dining room!
Her mouth literally began to drool as she smelled all the wonderful aromas from the large kitchen, and as she spotted Aria she ran over to the girl immediately.
"Hi there! We haven't really been able to talk so how are you! Oh," Mei said, the living doll coming to her and filling up her glass with chocolate milk. "Thanks!" she calls as it immediately turns and walks away.
Before she can open her mouth to speak again, another doll whisks its way out to her and drops multiple dishes stacked high with an assortment of food choices. Noodles, dumplings, butter soup, and curry to name a few of the dishes had Mei drooling again and her eyes turn to stars. She clapped her hands together before digging in immediately, her mood lifted ten fold from the night prior.
╚══════════════════════════╝
Who: Aria! || What: Eating and talking! But mostly eating || When: Morning || Where: Dining Hall || Thoughts: It's all so gooood OOC: So definitely a fox image but ya know what, you try to find rounded ears and a slim tail! ;P Yes, she's still a tiger and the image just shows the differences in her appearance.
Sheila's bare feet made soft patters sounds as she sleepily strolled down the hall dressed in her pajamas with a still steaming cup on coffee in her hand, a nearly spent cigar hanging loosely from her lips and Coco perched on her shoulder. She half stumbled into the dining hall , barely realizing anyone was in there in her daze as she made her way to the kitchen. she grumbled as one of the doll things approached her with a menu, she didn't trust anyone but herself or her boss to make her food, she certainly wasn't going to trust....whatever these things were. It took a master chef's eyes and sense to know how to perfectly prepare a dish, something she would prove right now. With the caffeine in her system gradually waking her up Sheila swiftly gathered a bowl, several thick slices of bread, milk , and vanilla extract from around the kitchen. As she began cracking eggs into the bowl and wisking them with the milk, coco hopped from Sheila's shoulder and scampered down the counter only to return with a cinnamon shaker held in his jaws. "Good boy" the blonde smiled and scritched the red panda between the ears before taking the cinnamon and sprinkling it and the vanilla extract and mixing them with the eggs. With a pan heating in the background Sheila soaked the bread slices in the sweet smelling mixture before tossing them onto the heated pan where they hissed and released a heavenly , sugary smelling aroma into the kitchen air which seeped into the dining area. By this point Sheila was fairly awake and tied her long blonde hair back in a low ponytail. "Alright....whatever you are" she addressed one of the dolls "If you want to serve me anything then bring me a cup of coffee, heavy on the cream but light on the sugar." The doll thing nodded and hurried off as Sheila bounced on the balls of her feet ,taking deep breaths as she began to get her blood pumping, then dropped to the floor where she used her thumbs to do pushups before switching to crunches. While not as intense as her usual morning routine Sheila still felt awake and began to shadowbox an invisible opponent, ducking and weaving ,every now and then she'd throw in a kick or a knee strike and pause to hold the pose as she picked up a spatula and flipped one of the cinnamon scented slices of toast or move it to a nearby plate , only to immediately launch back into her workout. When the last slice of French toast was finished she neatly stacked them in a pyramid shape on the plate, artfully drizzled nutella over them, and placed a puff of whipped cream around the base of the pyramid sprinkled with blueberries and strawberries. Sheila grinned and held a fist out to Coco. "Eh? Come on show me some love" The red panda happily yipped and touched his paw to his master's hand before scampering up her arm as she admired her work. Still something felt amiss, art wasn't art unless there was someone to admire it.

"Stay outta my kitchen and you wont get burned"...
Seeing as she was suddenly so partial to meat, the winged girl reached for a slab of ham with her fingertips, obviously momentarily forgetting that any of the other students were in her presence. For as peculiarly hungry as she was, manners seemed insignificant at the time when it came to the rumbling in her gut. But with a face as delighted as hers once her mouth clamped down on its delectable edges, some would've found it difficult to reprimand her for it. Succulent and sweet, the flavors melted in her mouth as she herself melted into her moment of absolute delight. 'Actual hot food~that isn't microwaved, and it's free..!' The ethereal glow of what once could consider to be bliss kissed her face as she nibbled upon her breakfast, however her moment of meaty deliciousness was met with a surprise.
Piles upon piles of chestnut locks & beautiful blues bounced towards her and her table before settling down across from the winged girl. Aria's rounded, teal-tinted orbs followed the furry-eared Mei's form as she sat down and another Doll further cluttered the table with her breakfast. With her slab of ham hanging from her lips, Aria carefully tore off a mouthful before setting the ravaged piece of pork back on her plate and hastily snatched up the first napkin she could find. As she flusteredly wiped her face, she waved to the girl and nodded, as if in agreement with her in the very few words shared between them.
"M-mmh..morning..!" Seeing such a bright face so early in the morning, Aria could almost feel the sleep evaporating off her body; she was so cute, and small...though she was sure it was a bit...lighter before. Hm. Either way, even being around her felt like a breath of fresh air, especially after leaving on such a sour note the night before. "I'm fine. About to be way too full, but fine." A genuine smile tugged at her lips as her eyes crinkled from beneath the brim of her cap. Recalling last night's events seemed like the quickest way to bring the mood down, so she made it a point to avoid the topic for the girl's sake. "It's been a crazy couple days is probably, but at least now I get to thank you for getting that suitcase off me. How about you?" Her teal optics scanned over the girl's array of food as it seemed to vary greatly from her own breakfast, and it smelled delicious. "Looks spicy.." she mumbled, her eyes now falling upon the curry.

╔══════════════════════════╗ "Full already?" Mei questioned, her face falling as she slurps her noodles happily. She had already gone through two plates worth of dumplings and butter soup, and she finished her third in record time.
She stopped when she reached for her curry, her ear twitching to the sound of a familiar woman coming into the dining room and to the kitchen, but her attention was on Aria's question.
"The suitcase was no big deal! It wasn't heavy at all," Mei laughed, her canines baring as she smiled widely.
She distracted herself with her curry so she didn't have to answer the ashen blonde's question right away. In truth, Mei's soul was still in turmoil from the previous night, but she wasn't going to let that bring her down now. Today was a new day. Holding onto feelings from the past will only bring discomfort and pain.
"I'm great! I slept in such a cozy bed and the shower was actually really warm! The towels were so nice and it felt so soft too, and I'm just so happy to be here and-" she cut off as her nose twitched. "Do you smell that?" she asked haltingly, her eyes widening as she placed her hands onto the table and lifted her lower legs out of the small crevice.
She was about to utter that she'd be right back but the delicious smell from the kitchen deterred her. Sniffing more, her tail wagging with interest, she passed into the kitchen and her eyes widened.
"Ms Sheila!" she exclaimed, her eyes turning to stars for the second time that day as she saw the stack of french toast on the plate. They were stacked like a pyramid with all the confections on top and around it, and her mouth watered as she stared at it in awe. "A-a-ahh-ahhhh-ahhhhhh!!!" She squealed, her finger pointing to the stack. "It's so beautiful! The form, the perfection! The undeniable brilliance and magnificence! Oh Ms Sheila let me have a slice!!!"
Mei practically ran toward the woman, her mouth open and ready for a bite, as she tried to contain her drool.

Who: Aria and Ms Sheila || What: Eating and talking! But mostly eating || When: Morning || Where: Dining Hall || Thoughts: I MUST TASTE OOC: So definitely a fox image but ya know what, you try to find rounded ears and a slim tail! ;P Yes, she's still a tiger and the image just shows the differences in her appearance.
Sheila, as an artist critical of her own work, leaned over the breakfast she'd made, checking it from every possible angle she could get to while occasionally muttering to herself. It wasn't until she heard the squeaky cries of a familiar voice that she bothered to look up. The tall blonde smiled at the sight of the wide eyed girl, so she wanted some breakfast did she? "Sure thing kid, what's a meal without someone to eat it?" she turned to one of the doll things that was returning with her coffee. "You" she said, taking the cup and giving it a quick sniff "Take the plate to the dining area with some forks. Make it quick, I dont want to lose the optimal temperature." The doll, of course, nodded in its creepy, silent way and carried the platter into the dining room where it set down the meal where Mei had been sitting "So how's the- hot damn that's good joe! how's school been treating you so far?" Sheila asked as she sipped her coffee and admired the bold flavor "You kicking any asses yet?" She sat down in the nearest empty seat and leaned back as she sipped from her mug while watching Mei impassively though secretly hoping the girl loved her creation.

"Stay outta my kitchen and you wont get burned"...
↘↘↘ As Kyrio took a seat down beside her at their table, Ash glanced over and muttered quick good morning in return; listening as Tanis explained that she had woke from the same kind of alarm clock as the rest of them. "I was planning to set one up anyway, but yeah; it looks like this school thought of everything for us." She remarked, finishing off her eggs and reaching for a slice of toast now. As Kyrio received her food and remarked at how it was just like how she got it at home she blinked; glancing back towards Tanis as well. All of their plates were somewhat different, so they weren't just serving the meal of the day.. Ash's eyes flickered towards the dolls for a moment, hearing Kyrio ask about their agenda for the day made her attention waver; eventually leaving the featureless dolls to turn back towards her team. "I think we should head over to the training room after we're done eating and settled in, get a feel for each other's abilities. I'd hate to be surprised by too much when it really matters, and getting to know everyone by their abilities might help with simply getting along.. Hopefully bring a bit of mutual understanding, I guess." Ash remarked, biting into her toast and nodding towards Simon as he took a seat and was soon brought a cup of what looked like tea. She had an urge to smile when everyone kept remarking on how odd the dolls were, but she never made the effort to do so.
↘↘↘ As Simon inquired about Josiah coming down she merely nodded, and listened intently as Tanis managed to cover how she felt about the man. Ash couldn't deny that giving him a wide berth was a good idea for now, the way he had broken his door in a fit of rage and had made a demonstration of trying to rush her down was not a favorable aspect for her; but still, Kyrio had recognized that something negative must have happened to him to cause such a reaction. Either way, someone unable to manage themselves under pressure required caution and care when approaching; Josiah, although a team mate, may be no different. The whole concept of thought was tiring her out now as she finished her plate off, and now she glanced towards Tanis again as she mentioned finishing Simon's puzzle. What puzzle? That toy she saw earlier? She felt like grumbling to herself with annoyance since she didn't know what it was, and was incredibly curious now as the possibilities floated through her head. When the conversation turned towards race, or animal aura's to be precise Ash glanced between both Tanis and Simon. It was a little emotional this early in the morning, but she knew it had to be done at some point so she let Tanis get her point across without causing any distraction. As she finished and silence filled the table, Ash let her eye flicker with Rift energy; flames dancing about as they enveloped almost the whole left side of her face. It was her way of showing that they were all different in some way, her method of doing so without need of words. She wasn't great with words, but as Tanis asked about their abilities Ash turned towards Kyrio. Simon and Tanis's auras were evident, as for Josiah.. Something had to allow him to move at that speed. Ash didn't see any sparks of lightning or element change to help, so it could be something physical related.. As for Kyrio, she wasn't quite sure yet. "As for me," Ash started slowly, taking a sip out of her glass of orange juice; making sure to glance around the table at her team. "I believe they call me a Magical Aura here, I manipulate the same energy that's used to make the Rifts the monsters crawl out of." Ash spoke calmly, wondering if they were all familiar with the Rifts and the monstrosities that came out.. Thanks to her captors, she had gotten a good education on the whole subject of Aura's and monsters. Now, she was all too familiar with the subject. "My eye," she started again, letting the Rift energy course through it so the flame like apparition sparked up. "Sees the world differently than yours. Well, at least when it's like this.. Right now, every second that passes is well over a minute for my perception. Not just visuals too.. Sound, touch, I take it in so slowly the world seems a bit boring." She scoffed at that, as if it was a joke before letting the flames die down and her glass rest on the table. "Aside from that I can use it as some kind of projectile and weapon, coating my body with it; as far as I'm aware it doesn't do any permanent damage, but it's knocked people out before and it sends them sprawling a few feet back if it comes into contact with anyone." She went on, letting a few flames lick at her arms before disappearing all together. "How about you Kyrio?" Ash inquired, eager to get the attention off of her now.
"What is this... This power?""I never asked for it." "It just took a hold of my life,""And it's not letting go."

╔══════════════════════════╗ When Simon came down, sitting next to her, she nodded before shaking her head at his question. Oh yeah, she thought as she filled her mouth with food, she had totally forgotten about Josiah. His anger didn't perturb her and his ability was interesting at best. If he could break down his door without much of a laceration on him, that must have meant he had super strength or something else. Kyrio was interested in finding out seeing as she could use some more moves in her arsenal, but as Tanis spoke she frowned.
"Why wouldn't he like you? Seems like that b*****d really only hates himself or whoever was on the end of that call."
She cocked her head and quirked her brow when Tanis seemed to bring up very personal topics. If Simon had not wanted to bring it up from last night, the snake girl had just made him. It annoyed her, pissed her off really, for the girl presuming such things. Did she really think trying to compare her life to his when he hadn't offered up any information about it was the best way to go? Spiders were shy, docile creatures, that's what probably perturbed him last night, if not his thoughts on everyone's natural fears to spiders in general. They ran away at certain sounds, and even sped away when afraid. For someone like Simon, who seemed to be the most nervous type, it was probably more prominent for him. Granted, she had never been looked down upon for her physicality, but she knew exactly, if not worst, how it felt to be dejected by those who you thought was supposed to love you.
Kyrio scoffed silently, her eyes on her food as she continued to eat, and only looked up again when she was addressed. Thankfully Ash spoke first so the girl had time to keep her bubbling annoyance and rage at bay. She was caught by surprise when Ash's eye began to burn blue, an ethereal energy bursting forth across the girl's face. She had seen it briefly the night before, but gave no mind to it. When she told the group that it was the same energy from the rifts, she frowned but said nothing. Kyrio only knew what her brother researched and that was about it. She learned at a very young age to not say anything if you only knew something about it.
Instead, she allowed the girl's gaze to wash over her without a twitch. She was more so intrigued by what she could possibly see with an eye like that, but as she again was addressed, she swallowed her juice down and cleared her throat.
"I can copy things," she said simply, shrugging her shoulders and glancing at all of her team members. "Physically. Whatever you do, whatever you can even think, I can copy it."
She picked up an unused fork for emphasis, and began twirling it in the exact same manner that Ash had done when she thought no one was around or looking. It was faster than the girl, due to Kyrio's heightened perceptions, and soon she placed the fork back down onto the napkin and began eating again.
She shrugged again, unwilling to tell them more of her heightened abilities, and turned to Simon. "You're pretty cool in your spider form. Is that all you can do?"
