Nadia was glad the other girl started asking questions, as she was currently a little at loss on what to do. "I'm not from Amtityville, sadly, although I very much would like to be. And I don't think any of the classes would be deadly in particular. I mean, for week one Death is Jewelcrafting, so I doubt week two will be "Dying for Beginners" or something. And, since you signed up for Famine for week one, are you good at alchemy? I know I'm good at combat, but I wanted to sharpen my skills, therefore War for week one. And Death just sounded interesting for week two," ((I'm sorry, but I have to go for quite a while now - I need to study for some pretty important tests and whatnot. Sorry!))

Lucinda sat quietly in her chair after nodding back at Alexander, she shuffled forward a bit in the seat so she could get to here pocket, she had her eyephone chained to her shorts with on of the studded straps that came around from the front by the zipper to the back where it was tucked into her pocket. It used to be attached to the back but the seam ripped and she was too lazy to try and sew it back together for the thousandth time. She stood up and handed Mei the phone while standing on her toes so her shorts wouldn't get ripped off. She felt really awkward but she didn't feel like unchanging it from herself at the moment. Odds are it probably would get dropped again and might break for good if she took it off the chain, that or lose it somewhere in the massive amount of people. "Um this is my eyephone, sorry about the condition it's in... I've dropped it a lot recently. You.. can put in your info next too if you want Reiko then Xiu too, I don't call often but I do text a lot when I'm not reading or doing something...." She would ask Alexander next if he wanted to exchange info but that would be easier if she sat down again since her was sitting too. These little distractions helped her a bit since she was getting to know them a little more, also because the flow of students seemed to die down a bit.

The ghoul smiled at his response, "Thank you~" the prospect of gaining a friend had put her into a better mood that she normally was in. Though you probably couldn't tell just by looking at her. As well as the possible chance... to hold that darling owl. But that was getting quite bold, and wishful! ..but maybe?
A subtle nod was given in return, her fingers uncurling to allow a few moths to crawl along them that had been hiding on folds of her skirt, "I'm curious... we're not to intervene, or interject ourselves into the lives of those there, but.. we are to give a full report on their lifestyle. How are we to obtain all the required information without observing first hand?" It seemed a little odd to her in that aspect. Observation was key in gaining knowledge, but.. she wasn't entirely sure she'd get a rounded out report based on the restrictions given. Besides... she was curious, and.. wanted to know what the life was like of those who lived there.. well by asking them!
Watching the familiar and reaper interact made the Grand Bois long for her many minipets. But they weren't allowed this time around.. Her precious Peldin's... she'd have to give them a kiss goodbye before leaving. Make sure the unborn pods were nestled in the soil warmly.. her litter bugs.. agh... her distress wasn't visible on her calm stature, but it did distract her from her company for a brief window.
She tuned back in just in time though, giggling vaguely, "A lockpick? that sounds quite mischievous..!" it made the corners of her lips curl more. What an interesting way of thinking about it! Feeling more at ease, her root-formed legs began to lax even more, letting the multiple individual roots release their mold, not entirely, and gave a little stretch here and there. "Yes~ If I may.. why did your friends not accompany you? Did the topic simply not interest them?" she asked curiously, watching just in time to see a moth of hers begin tucking itself into one of Endzela's wing..

Faussi chuckled softly. "Nice to meet'cha Danny."
The demon's eyes fell to the slumbering Roch curiously as Danny introduced him. "Oh." His eyes lit up as he noticed the peculiar guitar still strapped to the boil's back. It seemed like a very strange instrument, both instrument and weapon. He would have to take note of that in his research.
He turned his attention back to Danny, who was preoccupied combing the hair of the sleeping boil. "You're actually the first flame demon I've met since arriving. It's nice to see a familiar face. What things do you like?? ... I love inventing things, and sweets, one can never have enough cand-"
He paused as his stomach gave a sudden rumble. "Speaking of which, I'm famished now. I thought there might be refreshments at this assembly ..."
A pout crossed his face.
((I'll quote you both then to make sure you get my part <3))

A Four Clans member, most likely one of the clan of Conquest judging by her ornate and colourful robes walked over to the secretary, before bowing to the students. "If everyone would follow us."
The Weeping Forest seemed not quite so restricted these days. As students filed behind the imposing figure of the Horsemen and one straggler - namely one nervous school secretary - several could still make out muddied footprints and the sharp glint of arrows still buried in the grass.
The procession finally stopped, at the base of a large gnarled tree that had a single marking on the door: a backwards-shaped spiral. The Horsemen ambassador tapped on it twice, said door slowly peeled open-
- And stepped in without another word. Arel hesitated for a second longer, taking a cautious step forward and then stopping. The secretary suddenly moved to one side. "Ah, I think you students should go first, I'll stay behind and make sure noone is lost."
A couple of students gave him that look, but most said nothing else, stepping through cautiously at first-
- A temperate wind tugged at their clothing and hair before the darkness finally burst into a landscape of pure blue.
The students themselves were standing on a ledge - a hovering island, the large platform chained to what seemed like the ocean with a series of ladders. At times, the ledge swayed and buckled precariously with the wind, though it was in size large enough to contain at least tenfold the students entering from the portal behind. Following the line of the chain below seemed something ripped directly out of Scareling tales.
Wide blue ocean - pure sapphire blue - endless skies, only the wisps of clouds traveling across. Though the water seemed to travel into an infinite horizon, the students could see almost directly below -
-"This is our land, the lands of the Four Clans." She bowed low, moving one sleeved arm towards the sight, the four islands that broke from the sea, each of them unique in colour, shape, form. Four islands, and within their center, a large spire that shot upwards, almost infinitely, seemingly touching the sky.
"The isle of Conquest," The ambassador pointed to the closest island, ornate gold and red gates, pillars, statues, and structures rising from the shallow pools of water, visible even from this distance. They then moved their hand to the second isle, a little to the left, a rugged landscape surprisingly barren and stark compared to the first "The Isle of Famine, and beyond it the Isle of War." Though not nearly as decorative and ornate as the first isle, the Isle of War held a rough, temperate feel, the entire expanse covered in large forest canopy, hiding anything else within it from sight.
A moment's hesitation, and then the ambassador moved their hand one last time. "And beyond it the Isle of Death." The island itself seemed comprised of a similar spiral shape to the insignia on the doorway, the land cold and blackened, long thin towers branching out from the high gates.
She said nothing about the center island. "In a moment, we will hand out your arranged schedules, and you will be given directions to the first week of your exchange classes. May I remind you that we horsemen do not take disobedience lightly. Watch, learn, and never question. But please," her smile still seemed simply polite, cold, "Enjoy your stay here."

Danny began carefully undoing one of Roch's earrings. He wouldn't miss just one right? Yeah he'd be okay without it. It wasn't like she was taking his brow piercing or his tongue piercing. Those would be noticeably missing. Not his earrings though. He had like ten to spare.
"Well duh there's no food. It's an assembly." It wasn't like a meet and greet or anything.
She was about to say something, but then everyone got up and started walking. She rustled Roch, but he wouldn't wake up. Ugh she would just have to carry him. Danny maneuvered Roch's body so he was sleeping soundly on her back and she just started walking. Jackdamn Roch. Look at all the things she does for you. The list that Arel handed her had Roch's name in her class too, so she just carried him out of Amityville and into the horsemen's territory.
((EXITING WITH ROCH~))

Willow was glad she had dressed for the occasion, picking one of her best outfits. Her tail flickered softly as she waited in line. It wasn't as bad as it could've been. She saw her name under conquest and nodded before moving along. The Islands were very interesting and almost breath taking. The tigress moved along towards Conquest when directed.
Hopefully, things would go smoothly while they were here.

Kettil thought about her curious observation before he gave a short shrug, "I dunno. Seems kinda weird, yeah. I am sure something will be figured out!" He was pretty confident about it as far as things like that went and as far as her question was concerned he could only shrug, "Ghoulfriend had to go to her home to attend to somethin' and my friend...I dunno." He said with a bit of a sheepish look and before he could say much else it seemed everyone was stirring. He gestured for Ev to walk with him as he let Endzela climb her way to his shoulder as quickly as she could so that he could get up and follow the mass of moving bodies onward. {{EXITING}}

Noticing everyone beginning to make for the Exit doors, Faussi flashed a smile to Danny as he stood to leave.
"Nice chatting with you Danny. I'll see you around then sometime." And with that he was off through the crowd, eager to find out what awaited him.

Malodore rarely took time to rabidly text others, but right now... it gripped its eyePhone tightly and typed in a few quick notes. Nio Love See you on the other side, mia cara. Ti amo.Then it took a deep breath, for the calming effect. It would learn, it would make its own judgements. Everything would be fine. Every one would be fine... and this would be different. It would not be like last time, or the time before that... Malodore stepped through, and found itself looking out over one of the more impressive views it had seen in its relatively short life outside the Casa Cirurgien. The sea, the islands spread out before it... and yet, part of the vista reminded it of the Casa. The huge spire was powerfully reminiscent of the elders' towers, and it couldn't help but wonder what manner of being stared down on them from up there. Maybe nothing, but the association was so powerful that it couldn't escape the nagging feeling that something was up there and watching them all... ... Famine. It was to go to the Isle of Famine, to learn Alchemy. The sandy isle was not as immediately appealing to it as the others, but the topic was deeply fascinating at once. It would learn. It would gather information. And, most importantly, it would make its own decisions. ((Malodore is exiting!))

It was time to go. Time to follow. Shehk only managed two more texts before she started to practically vibrate in anticipation.Blade Kuroda Text to Jericho: We're leaving now. Sorry about the heart. Sosiqui Text to Malodore: You too!
Trees. Hey wait, hadn't they passed by this forest a lot of times before? She could have sworn she had. Still, she barely glanced between her classmates even as - in all strangeness - a tree door was cracked open which led beyond into an-
"Oh my Jack Skellington. Look at all that blue!" Shehk had never had the pleasantries of having her like of water ruined. It was also to be said Shehk wasn't afraid of heights, given how she nearly ran right to the edge of the platform, looking out over the water and wagging her tail, a grin wide on her face. Water.
Water.
"It's beauuutiful!" she marveled, brimming with excitement. Those islands, out there. Which ones would she be going to? That central one? What was it? It seemed like nobody had touched on that, but still, she soon turned back to the diverting of the groups towards where they would be 'rooming' for their stay.
War. She was going to War.
Shehk barely passed a glance back through the portal before she passed through it, eager to see what lay beyond.[[Exit]]

Finally, they were moving. Bongani practically sighed with relief. He was getting tired of sitting. He glanced at his two, newly made friends before he followed everyone out. He knew he'd meet up with Fallow and Dev later, they were in the same class after all.
It was easy to follow the mass of students through the doorway and easier still to check with the teacher which portal he was to take. Without balking, Bongani stepped through, a little excited for these new classes to begin.

It seemed it was time for them to get going now. Shun got on up and moved with the crowd. Seeing the islands before them was quite a sight. He hadn't really seen anything like it. A few of the islands were actually pretty easy to pick out as far as he could tell. Though, he realized he was even more glad to tell Hel to keep an eye on Mitsu for him. Taking one of the schedules, he turned to the wolf girl. "Take care," he said quietly before giving her a light kiss and moving on his way. ((Exit))

Rafe's question seemed to hang on the air, feeling rather ominous once more. He smiled a little uncertainly at the ghost as she approached, but before he could try to say hello, things were happening again. Careful to keep his tail out from under other student's feet, he allowed himself to be bumped and jostled a little as everyone tried to make it to the door. "It was n-nice meeting you!" He said, to Herryk, and then pressed in close to Mortimer, reaching out to grip the back of the zombie's shirt. Mort knew where they were going, right? If they were signed up for the same class, then surely Rafael could just follow him out and they'd be fine? ((exiting))

He was apparently late. Sparrow gave a small, slightly rueful smile as the assembly ended, turning to the ghoul next to him.
"I apologize," he said, sounding chagrined as he stood, the students around the crowding around as everyone began filing out. He stuck out his hand and smiled, however, then added "My name is Sparrow, for the record - good luck with the exchange program! If I see you there, I'll be sure to come and say hello!"
He gave her a cheery wave and then slipped from the auditorium.
