Welcome to Gaia! ::

I laugh a little. "A day and a half of life, and so many firsts... I wonder if others live the same way..." I say to myself. "Funny how being a plant seems to be how much distingishes us! A burly norn once thought us fragile, and then my friend and I showed him and his wife up in a duel, then celebrated a new friendship over song rather strong ale. Beat me in armwresting fair and square, though." I say, more loudly for people to hear.

"They are a rough and tumble group, they seem pretty stuck up at first, but you just need to learn how to talk to them... Kinda like the Asura, really, although they can be downright rude if they don't think you're smart enough! But, turns out a group of 9 foot tall were bears make great drinking buddies, and tell some of the best stories!" I reply. "Oh dear, I'm rambling now..."

"How interesting..." I mutter. "It certainly sounds like you've had a lot of experiences in only a day and a half. Some already far more entertaining than most of my experiences."

Krin Didn't understands why any one would wish to share a room with some one, but he just stayed quiet and waited for this to move along.

Neeché:
"Yes. Do to the fact that we have such a variety of students here, we wanted to accommodate for the people that have certain rules on gender and for certain races that can't be quite so easily defined as male or female." The Mentor says to you.

"Not sure where I'd g for that one! Although, I'm not even sure I need to shower..." I say, giggling. "So what do we do about someone cursed by a corrupted wolf? worst comes to worst I could tie her up outside..."

Neeché:
"Don't mention it. It's what I'm here for." The Mentor replies casually and then moves on.

Everyone:
Continuing around the walkway, you all pass by the windows on the southern wall. Looking outside, you can see a very large estate filled with a multitude of other manors and a variety of farms located on it among other things that make it seem like a fully functional town almost. Also, judging by the position of the sun, it seems to be roughly 6:00 right now. Moving past the windows, you reach another set of two doors on the western wall. "And on this side of the floor, we first off have the entrance to the lounges. In there, you'll find a variety of ways to entertain yourselves and to relax. Next, this door leads to my personal quarters. I request that you do not enter them, though for the most part, you shouldn't be able to anyway." The Mentor explains and then continues walking without allowing time for questions. Finally, on the Northern wall, there is one large set of double doors. "Lastly... we have the most important part of Manor: The Lecture Hall. Obviously, this is where we will all be meeting every day for classes. I expect you all to be awake and in here each day by 10 A.M." He says, motioning to a clock mounted above the doors. "Other than that and various scheduled events throughout the months, you are free to conduct your daily lives however you are accustomed to. This concludes the overall tour. Now that you know the general layout, you are free to explore the individual rooms on your own. Any final questions?"
