The first thing he became aware of was a sharp pain in the vacinity of his temple, light poured in through his window filling his room with a cheery glow. He groaned and rolled over pulling his blanket over his head. Maybe if he cut the light out it would go away and he could stay in his bed, his head felt stuffy the feeling of one that has either slept too much or not enough. After a few moment of laying and getting a feeling that he was in fact doomed to not stay in the warm cocoon of the bed he opened his deep brown eyes and peeked out from the blanket. Then he started to remembering, it was a strange sensation he remembered thing but could not remember where he remembered them from. After a few moments of mulling this over he decided to let it go, his head would ache even more if he bothered too long on confusing thoughts. Shrugging off the strange sensation he looked around the room a moment and concentrated on the thoughts he remembered. He was Nadyrr and this was his room, seemed an easy enough spot to start.
Yawning widely and reaching up to push some of his blonde hair from his eyes he pushed himself into a sitting position. As he sat up he winced, his arm had fallen asleep. Grumbling a little at the offending limb Nadyrr starts wiggling his fingers trying to ignore the prickling feeling of blood flowing back through his arm. In the next moments he tries to push away thoughts that this may be the most unpleasant sensation ever and looks over the room - his room. It was tidy and full of his things one thing that struck him about it was that it had a feeling of being untouched about it as if it was his but had not been lived in yet. Pondering this bit of observation Nadyrr looks over the desk, chair, and window. After the visual inspection he realizes he can feel his hand again, thinking this to be a good time as any he pushes himself off of the bed.
Stretching and yawning again he looks down realizing he is fully clothed. With a slight shrug he straightens his baggy pants and wiggles around in his bulky sweater; with a slight wiggle of his toes he confirms that he does indeed have shoes on. Next time he slept he decided he would have to at least try it without the shoes. Turning a little he sees his reflection in a mirror on the wall, his pale yellow hair was sticking out every direction. Using the tips of his fingers he brushes it into a more tame position resting his eyes on a hat he grabs hit and shoves it onto his head over the unruly hair. Giving himself another glance in the mirror Nadyrr nods slightly as long as the hat stayed on he looked presentable. A few quick sniffs over his baggy sweater and he was ready to go, looking over at the desk his eyes stay a moment on various books, quills, and ink bottles. He had somewhere to be, he was pretty sure that he wasn't late but one never could be too sure.
Nadyrr took a last look around his room and grabbed the various things he would need shoving them into a patchwork bag resting on his chair. Once he had everything packed away he stood staring at the door a moment. Anxiety rose in him, there would be other people out there he just knew it. Various scenarios ran through his head as he tried to imagine what the others that were here would be like, most of these scenarios ended badly for him. Steeling himself and giving himself a quick lecture he adjusts his hat again and throws open the door to his room, a few moments later he meekly looks out into the hall. One shuddering breath later he is outside of his room and heading off down the hall toward whatever fate awaits him.

::Journal Entry in response to the Oct. 28th Halloween Event::
The field trip was amazing, I enjoyed seeing all those old buildings and getting outside was wonderful. The sheer job of walking and moving around was one of the best things of the night. I also saw my first monster, a Hiisi is what Lelaus called them. Lelaus seems to know a lot about monsters, he is so very clever. They can cause strange things to happen to the essence of a Empyrean; intense pain, headaches, swelling and mutation of the limbs, rotting of the Additions and even death if one stays around one too long are the effects they can have. They sound pretty nasty but seem easy to spot and are pretty slow. So I'm not much worried about them.
There was a howling that filled the air, many of the others seemed to get upset and frightened by it. I was not afraid however more filled with antcipation. Abrid, he is the science professor, told us that it was the sound of the scorched souls and that we would see them soon. It was torture to have to wait and see what a scorched soul was, I wanted so badly to find out and then when I did a part of me wishes I could go on never knowing. We came upon a horrible scene, and it was then that Abrid told us that these were the scorched souls. Merely wisps of an image Empyreans that lived long ago and that horrible weapons destroyed. Their bodies were destroyed but their spirits and essence live on now. When I actually looked upon the spirits I did not feel fear; I pity them and mourn for their existance. Another feeling filled me, anger...hatred...rage. I wish that there was a way that those long ago outsiders could be punished, made to hurt like the ones that they trapped. I let thoughts of this go, let my rage drift away so I do not become obsessed. With seeing those souls I now reflect with wonder, who was it that long ago made the choice to use such a weapon on our fair city. Did they feel remorse for it? Or were they joyed by what they had caused. Either way I wish that they could be forced to suffer for this act.
The story then continued about the girl, it helped take my mind from those Scorched Souls to hear it. As Lelaus continued to speak the next part got more and more frightening...and then from the mists rose an image like the one from the story. Excitement and fear filled me, I was ready to fight it I realized. I knew nothing of how to handle such a beast and I had no weapon. But I knew that if it would allow those others with the group to get to get free I would do what had to be done. I didn't know most of them and those stage zeros and even the professors frighten me more then outsiders and monsters. It is so much more frightening to be judged by those that are like you, more frightening then death. *there is a pause in the writing as if the writer realizes he has started rambling* The beast came from the fog, Lelaus charged toward it. I tell you now it was a sight, such bravery. The silvery mists surrounded him wonderfully, but as he jumped at the creature it was not a monster at all, not a Deumus as it appeared. It was just Abrid! Some of the others that had been the most frightened were upset by this discovery, I just found it amusing. Strength and cunning all in one, both professors seem to have a good sense of humor and hearing the two argue about their stunt after it was over was priceless.
I was finally able to talk to the Choleric girl, Elanin she seems to be very nice. More brave then some of the others I saw clinging to each other during the trip. I think we will be able to be good friends. I found after speaking to her a little it was easier to talk then it was at other times. I liked this, because sometimes it seems I know only loneliness a coldness that fills me and chills me to the bones. So I hope to get to see her again soon, I also can't wait for the classes that the professors that took us on the trip teach. It will be absolutely wonderful to learn from Lelaus, he doesn't seem overly stuffy and he is also wonderfully hansome in a reckless sort of way. Knowledge of monsters and personality, it is a great combination perhaps when I get a free period I'll go to the gardens. I hear he sometimes goes through them with different creatures to be used as examples.

Lelaus  Aquired: At All Hallow's Eve Fieldtrip. Reason: Sucessfully Identified Deumus. You are one of five students to successfully Identify the monster described in the Padmir Story. It was in fact a Deumus. As a reward, this Certed Technoring is yours. You can use it to bond a familiar, pet or monster that is your own. In order to do so, bring the creature you want bonded with the Certed technoring to either myself or Prof Kortus in the Teacher's Lounge and we will contain the creature in this ring for you. Then all you need to do is tap the ring as you would any old Technoequip, and you can contain and release the pet at will.

Scrawled quickly into his journal.
Everything seems to be happening so fast and I can't seem to find my foothold. I am clearly not as quick as the academics when it comes to classes; I try to keep up and try my best but in the end it isn't enough. I think I'll try and find one of those that doesn't seem to have a problem when it comes to the book stuff and see about having them help me out.
But who to ask?
I think that I might try to talk to the one called Grave, he seems very popular. I'm not sure if I could bring myself to approach him when he has his admirers around him. I'm just hoping all that popularity he seems to have has to do with his abilities in class as well as his pretty looks. I think I'll try to make some sort of trade, but what I would have to trade I don't know.
*there is a large space with a pause in it*
I can't believe I just wrote that, about Grave being pretty. I know that no one really cares what kind of person I think is attractive...but I am finding it more and more distracting. I wonder if there is something wrong with me. Maybe I should do something about it - not that there is much I could do about it. but really this is rediculous I can walk about even a few moments before finding someone that catches my eye. And the thing is they are all males that I keep noticing. Not sure what to make out of all of it. First things first though, find out about class stuff and then worry about how pretty the other students are...and how pretty the professors are.

::November 14th Journal Entry pretaining to the paintball tournment::
Seems this tournment has a few days left to go, worries me a bit too. The first day was a blast but then things started to go wrong. First it was lots of shooting and running, then diving and shooting, and just lots and lots of chaos. Realized that Grave seemed to be taking a beating from the paintballs so I decided to give him a hand. Seems to be the popular sort but the rough and tumble wasn't settling well with him. So we were getting along covering each other took a stand using one of the built towers in the arena. Not sure what exactly went wrong but I realized he was bleeding, tried to get him to wrap the wound but it was like he didn't hear me.
Then this girl just kinda appeared, she was pullin' on Grave's hair and he was pullin' on hers. Did my best to get them broken up, she ended up making a run for it. Grave got a nasty distant look in his eyes and just kept firing at her, then he took a tumble off of the platform and landed on his hand. Ugh, I can't even imagine how horrible that had to hurt ended up breaking his finger. That didn't keep him down though he got up and started shooting at the girl again and then he started blindly shooting around and shot some guy that seemed real worried about him. After all this excitement Grave kinda passed out...I reached out and grabbed him so he wouldn't fall.
It was very strange holding him in my arms, I realized that the other boy was very light. I know I shot at him earlier in the games but wished now that I hadn't it was like he needed someone tougher to help him with that sort of thing. When he gets out of the infirmary I might see about making a team with him again. He was also I have to admit very pretty, but it seems he has more then enough admirers all which are much the same as him, an acedemic and attractive - both catagories I do not fit in. A lovely golden skinned boy seemed to be the most attached to him, I think for a moment he was almost jealous.
I was looking forward to Orrys class but after what I have seen in the arena I am not so sure. I'm not worried about myself but the others like Grave I have a feeling may get banged up rather badly in rough sports. I guess it is something that will have to wait. I just hope for those not as use to playing hard the class isn't too bad. Also want to try and catch up with those from the games even if it gives me a bit of a queasy feeling being around others.

::November 21, pretaining to the paintball tournment and what he did when he skipped out of the last part of it::
The tournment is over. I didn't really go back after the first day, Grave was hurt badly and everyone seemed so hyped up. I needed some quiet, so I went to the library. I would have much rather been running about and playing paintball but I just didn't have the heart for it so I went and did something that was difficult and not overly fun. I don't think I actually came away with much from it, but I tried. And what I did next after the attempt at studying I'm not sure I should have done...but no one caught me so I guess they can't yell at me for it.
I wanted to move around after spending so much time in the library and the arena was full of people...I just didn't want to be around them. So I headed to where I heard the pool was. The pool looked huge and admittedly I really wanted to try it out, so I went for a bit of a swim. Considering I had to wear a suit to go swimming I am glad that no one caught me. Not sure how I feel about the idea of being in an exposed condition around others. The water was amazing...I still have the strange memories that are not memories and there just seemed to be something about the water. I swam for sometime and even though I wasn't the quickest in the water I was able to keep pace for a long time, seems I was built for endurance instead of other more mobile tasks.
The area was quiet while I was there and admittedly I lost track of time, I hurried back to the arena after my swim and relaxation only to find they had mostly finished up with the paintball games. I wish I would of had a chance to get back into it but at least the others had fun. After this event and the extremes of it I wonder about this Orrys things may turn interesting.

::Quick notes about Astronomy::
The class wasn't so bad, we learned a spell that would allow us to read information about the target. I admittedly chose a rather strange combination for the one it was being used on which was the professor. Elias is a serpentine Empyrean and there is no better way to put it other then that he is absolutely lovely to look at. A new boy also came into the class while we were already in lecture he was *there is a space as if the one writing picked up his pen and then put it back down to continue* very pretty.
After getting things pretty jumbled I decided that I would see about talking to one of the acedemics about helping me out with bookwork. I am thinking perhaps Grave and one of his friends or something like that. After seeing how things went at the paintball tournment I wonder if I can offer them any help in more physical regards in exchange for help with bookwork. I just don't know how I'm ever going to approach them over it...and well the more physical exercises I don't want to even consider where those could go to at least not at the moment.
I didn't really get to speak to the girl that first brought me to the front of the room when I got to the class she seemed nice I hope to see her again. I sometimes wonder how I'm going to get along with all these other students.
[jumbled notes on how to make the spell work to follow]

::Jotted down quickly in his journal::
Score! I found someone to help me with my classes. It sounds like I might end up helping a few others with the more physical aspect of things for gym, I better keep on top of things during the class so I don't mess anything up. Not sure how I'm going to do with so many others around but it is the sort of thing that I'm just going to have to get use to. I just hope that when it comes to learning that I'm not disappointing.

::Belated reaction to Physical Education::
I feel as if I did much better in this class then with the more note and book oriented classes. My sparring partner was Kallisto she is really good when it comes to some of this stuff. And I lost track of our score at some point and accidently attacked once the match was over. I hope she isn't upset over it or that, it isn't the only thing she remembers about everything. I liked Kallisto alot, and hope we'll be great friends.
The class itself wasn't bad, I learned some of my strengths and weaknesses in battle. I wasn't winded at all from it and ended up with a good idea what sorts of things I'll want to learn later. I've seen some of the higher stages with their weapons and I'd love to get one. Though I'm not sure if I'll ever be a great warrior; even though I was good at the class I really didn't like the idea of hurting another creature. Even though it seems to be the sort of thing I was built for, I'm not sure I'll ever get it right.
