After a short, slightly uncomfortably quiet walk they had arrived at the dining hall. Xine ordered the usual half and half and found a green booth to sit at by a wall. It was always interesting to see what weird collection of unusual lineage had assembled there to eat. He once saw someone with lizard scales and tail talking to a guy with big red bat wings. He never felt too out of place around here. They seemed like the odd ones out today, mostly human elementals and elves. The arm from the door was still bothering him, but it did wonders with the weird little Pashoo guy so he took a slice of pizza and decided to try and forget about it. He swallowed. " So..." He tried to initiate some dialogue.

Nami had trailed at his heels, carrying the little doll with her in her bag alongside Matsu. She wasn't sure what exactly the appeal the doll held was. Maybe it was because Xine had given it to her without being ordered to. An unprompted gift. She held her frown though, still pondering over the idea and where he'd gotten it. Perhaps there was a set she could complete. Or rather, a set he could complete for her.
She slid into the seat across from him, her half of the pizza turned toward her half of the table. She set her bag beside herself and offered a small torn off piece of her own to Matsu, and began eating the rest of it on her own, glancing up only when Xine began to speak. She waited a moment for him to go on, then lapsed back into her frown. He couldn't even think of something to say? Ugh, he made her do everything. "...do you ever wonder why there are so many weirdos here?" she ended up asking in a rather blunt tone as her eyes scanned their surroundings.

Xine had brought his net book with him, which was good because he intended to look up this Pashoo thing. He swallowed and responded. " Well, it's kind of a school for weirdo's. I went to a school filled with 'normal' kids and its pretty uncomfortable for both parties. They're here because this is a place to fit in. " He took another bite and tried to connect to the school's wi-fi or something. When the little screen asked for a password he guessed that it might be his ID number, and he was right. He brought up google and gave it a search.
PASHOO

Nami replied with a soft grunt and another bite into her pizza, staring down at her plate until she realized Xine had revealed a laptop. She paused, then glanced up at him, her head tilting lightly. "What are you doing?" she asked. She lifted from her seat, elbows on the table as she leaned up and over it to stare around at his screen. It might've been easier to just get up and walk around to his side, but she didn't seem to care. At least she'd bothered to keep her long hair from falling into the pizza. "Pashoo?"

" Yeah, the little guy has to be from something. Let's see..." There was the main website, which opened up to Pashoo standing in a wide open area with tree's and a quaint house in the distance. Everything has that weird, appealing design that Pashoo had. Clicking on Pashoo caused him to say something.
" Oh hello."
" That tickles."
"Don't touch my eyes."
"I would be happy if you stopped."
"Cut it out."
After that, if you moved the cursor toward him he would smack it away with a swift movement of his arm. A television to the left of him when hovered over would play a clip of Pashoo talking to a bear about being more polite. It appeared to be a children's show, but it had a broad appeal to those of all ages. Farther above Pashoo's head were clouds in the shape of words.
HOME___HISTORY___CONTACT___SHOW-TIMES___STORE
Oh crap, store.

Nami watched with interest as the little guy reacted, a smile finally twitching to her lips as he spoke up. "Do it again!" she kept demanding, until the animation started slapping the arrow away. "H-hey! How rude." Frown instantly back, she lingered to watch as the site was explored a little further. She was briefly distracted by show times, eager to watch more of this little guy. But then something else caught her attention, and her face seemed to light up and go serious at the same time. "Click the store."

" Fine, but only because I'm curious too." Which he was, but he was intent on keeping her happy for a bit until she'd forgotten about earlier. When they clicked on he store cloud, Pashoo said something about how he thought T-shirts were pretty neat sometimes. " Woah."The store was enormous, there were shirts, hoodies, shoes, DvD's, books, lots of toys and dolls. But what was prominent was a familiar doll that had bold letters underneath it.
LIFE SIZED PASHOO DOLL.
Apparently Pashoo was just under two feet tall, and this doll in particular had a lot of "accessory packs" that one could get after getting the doll as a start.
Ball Cap.
Russian Hat.
Cat Ears and Whiskers.
Fish Head hat.
Angel Pashoo Wings and Halo.
Devil Pashoo Tail and Horns with Pitchfork.
Overalls
Bee Friend
Sandwich
Cool Shades
Big DJ Headphones
Hoodie
Snake Skin Blazer
Bowler Hat and Mustache
Realistic Battle Damaged Armor
Space Marine Uniform
Skull Mask
Sharing is neato Shirt.
Dragon Costume
Werewolf Costume
Happy Penguin Costume
And so on...
There were all lot of shirts and things, a white one that said Pashoo on it was a big seller along with a black one with white text that said " Negashoo". It really just went on and on.

Nami seemed temporarily overwhelmed. Her eyes widened and she stared at the screen, leaning in a bit closer as if to confirm what she was seeing. Why hadn't she heard about this thing before? She shrank back to her side of the table, grabbed out her Pashoo doll, and leaned right back up and over again. "Life sized?" That's what caught her attention first. She glanced to her doll and back. "I want one. What's Bee Friend? I want one of those too. Big DJ Headphones! Get a whole pack for him!" Her excitement grew the more she saw, and she suddenly lifted the little doll and held it up in his face. "You want one too, right? Imagine it!"

Before Xine objected, a little animation started up on screen, and black Pashoo with white arms and legs, with white eyes popped up from behind box on the screen with a shirt on display.
" Hey you!" It said, it sounded similar to Pashoo but a bit rougher. It kicked the box over, knocking it into over a virtual display of Pashoo dolls.
Xine was impressed by the animators that worked on this. They were simple, but so lively.
" Negashoo here with a secret deal! There's a new doll comin' of your truly and you my friend are in an area where some are located! If you get off your big butt for a minute, you could get one before anyone else! For free even."
"We can get this guy. We'll see about all the extra stuff later" No they wouldn't. He doubted this fascination would last.
" There's a catch though, I ain't telling you where. No fun in that! Just look for the clues. Sayonara!"
Oh. How fun.

Nami jumped at the new arrival on the screen, leaned back, then leaned in even closer, one of her feathered ears threatening to block Xine's view. "For free!" she repeated, turning toward Xine as if making an important declaration, then turned intently back to listen.
Clues...
"Hey! He said get off your big butt!" she announced, sliding finally from her seat to properly walk around it. Her bag was back over her shoulder, Matsu inside, with Pashoo nestled beside him. "Come on, we have to find clues! Ah... Is there a starter on the site?" She leaned down by Xine's side this time to closely watch.

As Negashoo noisily slinked away behind an ad, one of the Pashoo dolls rolled over, and on it's behind was a funny looking symbol that looked like and upside-down letter U with horns and a dot in the middle. " Maybe we just keep an eye out for that symbol? I'm guessing it's somewhere close." He took a quick look about the dining hall, hoping it was something obvious like the symbol painted somewhere with an arrow underneath to where the dolls were kept. though part of him kinda wanted it to be a bit more time consuming, he enjoyed a good puzzle and he had nothing other planned for today other than paper and some other things that weren't due till' next week.
He couldn't see a symbol, but he did spot a peculiar orange piece of paper on the far wall to the left of him. It looked like it had something on it, maybe words.

Nami blinked, her eyes narrowing in focus upon the symbol, etching it into her mind for future reference. She didn't reply for a second or two to Xine's statement, frozen in place. But then she jerked suddenly and turned her head side to side, staring intently around them. She saw nothing at first, until she glanced toward Xine and followed his gaze. A second later, her hand jerked up to point. "Ah!"
Matsu let out a yelp as Nami jerked him along in her bag as she dashed toward the wall, calling at the same time for Xine to follow after her. "What's this! Hurry, hurry!" Was it a race? She wasn't sure, but she wanted to be first to the doll stash. That way she'd get the best pick possible!

With a sharp snort of amusement, Xine sat up and tailed after her towards the orange card on the wall. Once there he plucked it off the wall to reveal the symbol at the top of the card with a brief message below it. " Cube with triangle on top also green. What the hell?" He strained his eyes at the odd clue. This must be the hint, but it was so random and weird. It fit with the show he guessed. after a minute scratching his clean shaven chin he presented his idea. " I think it wants us to go to the Greenhouse next. A square with a triangle on top looks like a house and... also green." The search would continue somewhere else it seemed.

"...Well what does that mean?" Nami asked, a frown upon her impatient face. She lifted up on her toes to try and see the paper in the giant's hand again, thinking to herself over the little puzzle. A cube with a triangle on top? It sounded like it could be a child's drawing of a house... "May- Hey! I was about to get it!" she protested his answer with a light smack of his arm, only to then reach out and grab at his arm. "Come on then! Let's go, right now!"
She guessed it didn't matter who figured things out, as long as they got their the fastest. Actually, it was kind of strange that there was a clue in the very room where they'd accessed the website from. Maybe the little inverted Pashoo was magical.

((LOL 5 MONTHS LATER... I'm so bad.))
Aurora walked into the food court along with Ha, nodding slowly and pretending to process what he had said. She didn't really have experience with... hearing foreign languages. When he asked where she was from, she snapped out of it and leaned on the table they were apparently sitting at. "Oh... I'm from Baltimore in Maryland." Ro gracefully shrugged her shoulders. She'd never liked where she was from very much, so whatever. This place seemed cooler anyways.
Sylph had returned, but Aurora hadn't really noticed she was gone in the first place. "Oh wow, a summoner? Sounds cool." She flushed slightly, feeling a bit lame in comparison (for once). "I just control fire, but I've gotten into peoples' minds before..." Shrugging again, she pointed towards the source of food. "I'll go get something to eat. Don't miss me too much." She turned and smirked at Ha once more before strutting away. She pulled her ID card out of her bra and swiped it on the machine, ordering chicken parmigiana and pasta along with a bottle of cola. Aurora nodded at the tray of food and walked back to where Ha was sitting.
"Hey," she said once she returned. "You can go get some food now." She smiled before turning her attention to the meal in front of her. Wrapping a bunch of pasta around her fork, Ro thought about her situation right now. Brand new school, brand new people, brand new atmosphere... hopefully her dorm room would have more potential to be awesome than the dorm rooms she'd had in her several reform schools. They must, right? Ria High wasn't a punishment, as far as she knew. UNLESS IT'S ACTUALLY SECRETLY A GIANT PRISON OHSHIT. Plus, aside from all that stuff, there was Ha. She'd only been at the school for a total of about 20 minutes, but she already kind of made a friend. It wouldn't exactly be a shock if they just went their separate ways right after this meal, but he seemed nice enough (and possibly easy to manipulate). It'd be nice if she had the chance to actually make a friend.
((Yo guy I am so sorry for being so lazy all the time.))
