_©ⓛⓐⓘⓡⓥⓔⓡⓔ ± ©ⓛⓞⓦⓡⓔⓨ ⓔⓘⓡHah! The guy was walking away now!
She doubted she was actually intimidating enough to make the guy back off, but the thought did make her feel good. An although her fire was being forced to simmer a little too quickly, this was at least this was one altercation that was avoided...That was probably a good thing for herself. Still, Eirlys couldn't help, as Zone walked away, to jab her middle finger straight up in the air with a cocky hand on her hip, and shout out for all to hear: "THE FUTURE FOR US BRATS~!""You are a BLOODY idjit, you know that?!"
"Shut up, you're ruining the moment." Letting out a content sigh, Eirlys then turned to Anemone with the largest grin on her face; "Hey, I'm Clairvere! And how are you holding up there?" She quickly headed to her wagon of things, attention still turned on to the pale-haired girl:
"By the way, what do I call you?"

As soon as Damien saw Zone stomp off through the crowd, he groaned and hid his face in his palms. He wanted so badly to be off fighting the villains with the rest of the heroes, but he was quite sure The Captain wouldn't approve. Besides, he had no actual way to get there, thank you to the mass of resident heroes that had rushed off and taken every available transportation device in their eagerness to get away from the Meet and Greet. Damien had still been frozen in place by the look The Captain had shot him earlier. Second escape plan foiled.
Suddenly he was torn back to reality by shouting. He didn't want to look. He really didn't want to look. But as one of the few mentors left, he probably deal with commotion before it got out of hand. Unfortunately, he looked. And looked. And looked. It was like a damn car crash, it was terrible, but he just couldn't stop watching! It seemed like Zone was getting a verbal KO by a new student? He finally broke out of his reverie, and tried to signal to Zone to snap out of it and remember his position, but to no avail. It seemed to somehow work itself out in the end, so Damien just closed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked down at the piece of paper that The Captain had thrust into his hands before taking off with Binary and Phoenix, and turned his attention back to the crowd.
The now very loud crowd. Damien tried to stare them quiet, and while it worked on a few, there were just too many to gain everyone's attention. He tried clearing his throat, but to no avail. He coughed a bit louder, but it still didn't have an effect. He could feel himself get annoyed, which just annoyed him even further. He suddenly noticed that his pupils had started shifting form, and while he quickly got his eyes back under control, the spontaneous shift gave him an idea. After a few seconds of concentration, he let out an deafening roar, well worthy of the black leopard he got his powers from.
He smirked. Well, that got their attention, all right! He lightly cleared his throat again, making sure that his vocal chords had shifted back to human, before starting the announcements.
"While The Founders and the other heroes are off saving Megapolis again, we still have a few details to take care of" he scanned the crowd, trying to signal an authority he wasn't exactly sure he possessed and gestured to himself "I am Damien, also known as Night Stalker, and I am one of many mentors you will meet during your next many years here"
He glanced at the list again before taking a deep breath "But I'm sure you don't care about that right now. For now, I'll split you in to your rooms. As I'm sure you're all aware, as a rookie you will be living in double rooms, shared with one other rookie. We have split you all up alphabetically. Any problem with your room-mate should be taken to the administration, but I can tell you now, that you will not be allowed to switch room-mate" he fixed them with what he hoped was a stern look "for any reason".
He started rattling off the list, expecting the students to eventually find their rooms, and therefore their room mates themselves.
"Carter, Cameilla and Eir, Clowrey - Room A3"
"Einreihard, Straffe and Roce, Jenner - Room B5"
"Hartington, Basia and Moor, Danica - Room A1"
He finally got to the end of the list and looked back to the now even more unruly crowd. He raised his voice and had to yell out the last part "Any of those not mentioned previously will be rooming alone until further notice".
He let out a relieved huff. Social talking done for the day. Now he just wanted out. Walking off the stage, he made a beeline for the buffet. There had to be something alcoholic in there somewhere.

She couldn't see too well, but she could hear the
Captain's inspirational words. They were short lived, however, as the heroes flew away in a hurry to rush off and undoubtedly
defeat some super villain.xxxBefore Anemone knew what was happening, an older male was shouting at her, interrupting her short lived excitement. She
opened her mouth to stammer out an explanation, but nothing seemed to come out. She felt her heart practically pounding
through her chest in panic as she cowered under her future teacher. Just as swiftly as the man had popped up and began yelling
at her, another female student had shoved her way between the two and was now challenging the man's authority. Anemone
blinked rapidly in confusion and fear, wringing her hands to her chest in anxiety. Luckily, the man walked away from the situation.
Was he staff? He must be.xxx"Hey, I'm Clairvere! And how are you holding up there?"xxx"O-oh, I'm fine." Anemone managed to choke out, wringing her hands even tighter. She wasn't sure what was scarier; having
to socialize with a peer or being yelled at by a stranger. "I-It was my fault; I got lost and wasn't where I should have been."xxx"By the way, what do I call you?"xxx"I'm An-" Anemone's eyes dropped to the ground in thought. No, not here. "Galileo. I'm Galileo." The girl's clear eyes darted
around the crowd and teachers, unwilling to actually make eye contact with Clairvere. She didn't have to dart around it for long
however, as someone began to address the crowd of excited students. Anemone was pleasantly surprised to learn she didn't
have a room mate, at least not yet. As the teacher slunk off stage, her eyes flickered in Clairvere's direction.
"What do you think we're supposed to do now...?"═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx

_©ⓛⓐⓘⓡⓥⓔⓡⓔ ± ©ⓛⓞⓦⓡⓔⓨ ⓔⓘⓡ"I-It was my fault; I got lost and wasn't where I should have been."
"Well, nice to meet you Galileo, but it doesn't sound like you're fine if you think you're at fault. Just because of that jerk--" She made a purposely conspicuous point at Zone. She tugged at her wagon, glad to see nothing had gone missing or fell off while she had been away. She pulled it along with her, motioning for the girl to come with her back to the crowd of new students; "It's not your fault you got a little lost; this is a new place after all. I got lost when I first got here too~"
"No. You got distracted by a yellow cat."
Clowrey chose to ignore him this time, continuing on her conversation with Galileo, "Though we're pretty lucky the guy decided to just walk away; he looks like he knew how to throw a few punches. And I can't scrap to save my life, much less someone else's. Haha~!"
. . .Was that suppose to funny? If anything, it was worrisome.
At that moment, Damien spoke out to the crowd and she heard her name being called...Room A3, was it? With someone named Camilla?
"What do you think we're supposed to do now...?"
"Huh? Oh." Clowrey shrugged a bit, the crowd already spreading out to explore the grounds. "Well I don't know about you, but I'm going to drop my stuff off at that A3 room. After that?
. . .I don't know." Again she shrugged, "Not tired enough to sleep. Not hungry. Not motivated enough to explore...Oh." She grabbed a medium-sized box from her wagon...This one box has been wrapped far more carefully than all the others, with a few 'caution' signs taped to each side.
"You like tea? My dad gave me a pretty heavy pack of them it seems..."

Hack peered furtively at the hubbub of activity from behind a pristine white pillar... it looked like the meet-and-greet event thing was already over? Heroes-to-be and old timers alike were scattered everywhere, mingling around, some were going off to explore the grounds, and the founders were nowhere to be seen...
Yep, it was definitely over. He sighed in resignation. If it wasn't, The Captain would still be here, giving one of his long winded speeches. He'd actually been planning to be here on time, since it was a special occasion and all, except there had been a... complication. He'd been sneaking around a chemical plant, trying to get enough evidence to incriminate this company accused of dumping chemical wastes into the coasts of Ronth, when one of the guards had spotted him. He only barely managed to escape with his skin intact.
Hack swept his gaze around the field for familiar faces, and snorted with barely contained laughter when he noticed BB confronting two smaller girls, new faces too. Hah school hadn't even started and the dude was already scaring kids, way to go BB! Show 'em who's boss!
And then he spotted Damien, who was looking a little wilted at the moment... should he risk going over to say hi to Kitty? If the man had been in a better mood Hack would've bounced over, but now... well he didn't want crazy cats sicced on him again, better to just stay out of Kitty's way for now, Hack chooses life over mauling by cats.
He straightened up to leave, since there wasn't much for him to see or do now that the event was over--
OOH was that a buffet! What a marvellous looking spread... can't hurt to get a bite first eh? Hack did a 180 degree turn and made a beeline for the table.

It was a little hard missing the girl stare at her, Basia felt the stare and turned to face her, but the other had already brought her attention back to the front. Basia frowned lightly, no one had stared at her before... But no one had ever actually seen her either. Did the girl like her eyes? Did the girl think she was ugly? A bunch of questions buzzed through her mind, she wanted to ask but didn't know if it would be rude to do so. Instead, she turned her attention back to the front just as the Captain was beginning to talk.
When the siren went off, Basia glanced around quickly, nervous from being surrounded by so many people. Were they being attacked? What an odd coincidence that they were under attack the same day that the new students arrived. Basia tugged her few items she'd brought with her closer, her mother had certainly not prepared her for something like this. The hero's would protect them right, of course they would... Why was she doubting their abilities? And then off they went, Basia watched their figures grow smaller and smaller. Murmurs began softly, wondering who was going to be left to take care of them. Technically, one guy had just ran off somewhere and had left one guy just... standing there, though from what Basia could tell he was he was trying to get everyone's attention.
And boy did he.
Room A1... She had to share a room? Ohh no, Basia never had shared anything before. Then again, she'd never battled sea monsters in a helicopter, or used her powers so much that it exhausted her, she had never been in such a large crowd either; Basia felt the list was only going to grow larger as the school year continued. She groaned inwardly, what was the name of her roommate? “Danica Moor...” She said it out loud, as if the girl would actually appear before her. Maybe she'd be at the buffet like everyone else? Basia cast a quick glance, people were just all over the darn thing, maybe she should just skip it and find her room to unpack quietly.

Right in the front were Binary and Phoenix who were bickering to each other by the looks of things, though she wasn’t nearly close enough to know what they were saying, but finally one of them said something that prompted the blue-and-red clad hero to begin his speech. It was relatively straight forward – as straight forward as could be expected at school full of would-be super somethings – until it was rudely cut off by a distant, but horribly loud, cry.
The crowd was practically buzzing with a mixture of excitement, confusion and panic. Some people were clearly very excited to see the heroes spring into action but others were concerned that maybe they might be in danger. Dani doubted this was the case seeing as they were currently surrounded by most of the world’s greatest defenders and problem solvers. Even if they weren’t, every kid in this crowd was probably better able to handle trouble that most people off the street. One of the other teachers eventually stepped forward to calm the quivering masses and commanded their attention with a deafening roar. It was quite impressive actually. She wasn’t sure who this guy was but she found she was very much looking forward to his class.
Roommate? Sharing a room? Danica was an only child, she sometimes had trouble sharing a desk at school, never mind a bedroom. Well it couldn’t be all that bad. It was all part of the boarding school experience right? Either way she was determined not to go into in to the situation assuming the worst, because if she did it most assuredly would be.
After the brief wave of panic subsided Dani was free to ponder on who her new roommate might be. Basia Hartington was certainly an interesting name but was not anything that she could reasonably form an opinion based on. She wondered what the girl’s powers might be. The man had said the rooms were assigned alphabetically but surely the teachers must have kept the student’s abilities a consideration as well. Maybe it wouldn’t often be a problem but, given her own effect on people, Danica hoped she was roomed with someone whose powers were not of an overly destructive nature.
“Danica Moor.”
Automatically, Dani turned at the mention of her name and responded “Yes?”

Jenner watched the three superheroes, his expression torn between terror and awe, as the Captain spoke to them. As soon as it had begun, though, an alarm went off and they were gone. Momentarily baffled, he looked around, noting the reaction of various other students and, more importantly, the staff. Seeing that they weren't panicking too much, Jenner tried to shake the feeling of apprehension off, clearing his throat and clinging to his bag. As much as he tried to shake the apprehension, it still lingered.
After a few moments, another staff member came up. He eyed him, frowning a little. He pushed forward slightly in an attempt to hear better, although he really wished he hadn't. A room mate? Why didn't he get lucky?! Damn. Grimacing, he looked around. People were talking excitedly to one another, but without anything to go on other than a name, Jenner couldn't find this Straffe person. Whatever.
He pushed forward and away from the crowd. There was a buffet nearby, and he, the growing boy, was hungry.
Maybe food would settle his stomach, too.

Humming an off tune ditty while he made his way around the table, Hack piled generous helpings of food onto his plate. If there was anything worth sticking around for in the academy, it was food, glorious food. Phoenix was usually very generous with the budget for catered food, and also --
Ohgod, Kitty was coming this way, oh boy. Hack panicked and tried to duck down somewhere...
except there wasn't anything to duck behind?!
He hurriedly scanned the grounds for possible escape routes. There were several girls hanging around to the right, maybe he could hide behind them? No that'd just look silly, they were too small to hide him. And besides, one of them was the girl who'd been picking a fight with BB just now, if she called out on him... well that'd just make things worse.
So Hack zipped towards the left, and nearly knocked over one of the kids heading for the buffet.
"Oop, sorry kiddo!" he apologized hastily and dashed toward safety: anywhere out of Kitty's line of sight. Hopefully Damien hadn't seen him...

In his reverie of 'Food, oh glorious food', Jenner didn't realize someone was walking towards him at a hasty speed until it was too late. With a yelp, he stumbled back, but managed to catch himself. Scowling a little, Jenner turned to snap at the person who'd run into him.
The snap died in his throat immediately. That had to be one of the staff; he didn't look like a student. More to the point, he looked too old to be a student compared to the 14-year old. He grimaced, snorting a little, and brushed himself off.
"It's cool." He said to the hasty apology, shaking his head and looking around. What had he been running from, anyway? Yeesh.

xxxxxxxxx◆ Gateway
When the girl beside, the one who'd stared at her, turned to her and answered, Basia froze. No way. There was no way the girl beside her was her roommate, what were the odds? Basia finally turned to her, looking at her as if she was almost examining her for a bit. “You're Danica Moor?” Her surprise was evident, it was hard to hide when her eyes were wide open. Basia took the moment to look at the girl, she had short hair like her own which was a flamboyant orange. Her eyes were normal, a pretty sky blue, she stared at them in contemplation of her own which were bi-colored black and magenta with no sign of whites. Then her moms voice popped into her mind, and Basia quickly extended her hand out in greeting. “I'm Basia Hartington.”
So this was her roommate. She wondered what type of power the girl had, she looked like an ordinary girl to her... But that's how most people looked like, from what she'd noticed in the crowd anyways. It made Basia wonder if she looked less like a hero, after all from what she'd seen about the top guns of the school, they all looked like your regular Joe. The thought made her frown lightly, Basia had certainly never associated looks with who's side of things she was on.
Basia slid a glance towards the buffet again, she wasn't hungry and unpacking was her first priority. “I don't know if you want to go eat, but I'd rather pass and head to A1 to unpack and just relax.” No way was she going to tell her that not only her eyes were bothering her, but her clothing made her look even more foreign. “In any case, if you did want to come and find our room, d you think we could walk together?” Basia wanted to slap herself silly, she had no social skills at all. Saying the sentence sounded alien on her lips, she had probably sounded a bit awkward too as if unsure of what she'd wanted to say. It was always better out and find out if her roommate was going to be a terror or a friend.

What were the odds that in a crowd this size she would already be standing next to the one person she would be forced to spend the rest of the year with. At least now she would get an opportunity to ask her about her fascinating eyes. What was the protocol for finding out someone’s power? It seemed rude to just ask flat out but what other way was there to know? The powered people she had met before had all been so open about their powers there was no need to ask. Maybe that would be the case here as well. Dani shook her new roommate’s hand. “Nice to meet you Basia.”
She followed the girl’s odd-coloured eyes to the buffet table crawling with students and mentors. Everyone was getting introduced and the atmosphere was lively. Some of the students were showing off their abilities to one another. Danica watched the volley of beams and lights and blasts and glows of various colours for a moment and turned back to Basia. “Going to our room seems like the best idea.” She agreed. Danica hefted her duffle bag to a more comfortable position on her shoulder and looked up at the building before them. “Do you have any idea where A1 is?”
Assuming the answer would be ‘no’ she rifled through the side pocket of her bag until she found the intro pamphlet and flipped it open to the map off the school grounds. “Ah. I think I’ve got it.” She said, turned to Basia and motioned with her arm to the main building. “Shall we go in then?”

The girl was speaking faster than she could concentrate on; between Clair,
the other students, the teachers, her confrontation with that scary guy and the first day of school, Anemone was overwhelmed.
She could barely register what was happening right in front of her, as a matter of fact.xxx“W-well, I guess you're right...” Anemone meekly nodded at Clowrey's little pep talk. She laughed weakly at her joke; not
because it wasn't funny, but the mere thought of getting into a fight with the brooding man terrified her. The conversation
quickly changed to that of rooms and tea. Anemone didn't even want to think about how on earth she was going to find her
dorm- she didn't even have a room mate to help out. She wrung her hands nervously behind her back, quickly glancing around
wondering where on earth her new living space could possibly be.xxx"You like tea? My dad gave me a pretty heavy pack of them it seems..."xxx“Tea?” Anemone seemed to brighten up at the word. Yes, in fact, she did like tea. Quite a lot! “B-but, I couldn't possibly...”

Even though older than her, Galileo acted so timidly towards Clowrey's outgoing personality...and so she attempted to soften her tone. "You don't have to be nervous--I don't bite," she tried to assure her, grabbing the tea box off her trolley. "Besides, they'd just go to waste with me...I lost my sense of taste a couple years ago and everything just tastes like ashes now. So tea is the only thing I can 'cook'; I'm pretty good, if I do say so myself~" She beamed, as it wasn't completely just boasting. She hated it herself, though that was just because of how enthusiastic her father was about it. Back when she could still taste, she remembered making special blends she had been quite proud of. Sadly, she couldn't experiment anymore...But she managed to somewhat master what she already knew.

Anemone glanced down at her hands in embarassment. Well, at least Clowrey was nice about it. She had to wonder how one completely lost their sense of taste, though; was it related to her power, possibly?xxx"O-oh, well, thank you." Anemone accepted the tea, making note of how strong the floral scent was. It was without a doubt quality tea; but despite Clair's persistance she still felt guilty for taking it. "I'll be sure to tell you if I like it." A thin, genuine smile spread across Anemone's face. xxxThe girl's attention was drawn away from Clair and to the moving students around them as the crowd headed towards their dorms. "O-oh," Anemone stepped back out of the way of a larger boy, then glanced over at Clow. "Well, I suppose we should find our dorm rooms..." She paused a second, thinking to herself. The crowd of people was certainly becoming too much for her, and Anemone was eager to find her room anyways. Turning back to Clowrey, Anemone's face lit up with a small smile. "It was nice to meet you. I... I'm sure I'll see you sometime soon!" With a small wave, Anemone slipped into the crowd after their goodbyes.xxxThe only thing Anemone hadn't planned on was getting lost, once again. She had been following a few students, sure that they would lead her in the right direction. They must not have been first years, because now Anemone couldn't find a soul, let alone any dorm rooms.xxx"Not again..." she softly sighed to herself, lightly sitting down on a wooden bench for a quick break.═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx
