Who: Daniel Kalinska & Hiryuu Santiago (with guest appearance by Instructor Faust)
Where: Cafeteria of the Academy
When: Morning of their first day, after getting settled into their dorms
What: A meeting of partners
Weather: Cold, cloudy, "gloomy"


Compared to the Murmuring Pines camp, this place was a dream; it had all of the necessary amenities he was used to such as a bed, a bath, overall somewhere he could get away from everyone and be with himself, something summer camps inherently lacked as a whole. Best of all, you didn't have to walk a long, arduous trail just to get some food: the cafeteria was in doors and it was fairly close to the dorms, just a staircase jaunt away.

After putting all of his things away, Daniel felt drained and tired. The cafeteria was his next location and, even though it was empty, he planted himself on one of the chairs. There were breakfast foods available; cereals in pull off containers, chilled pitchers of milk, apples, oranges, bananas, all sorts of things that made up a "complete" breakfast, so the advertisement goes. Daniel had picked up an apple, as well as a glass of milk and orange juice, finishing it off with a bowl of oatmeal. The food was free, so he might as well indulge, and he was fairly used to big meals anyway as banquets would sometimes be held back home.

Back home... Yes. Murmuring Pines was an awkward escape, but this was a far more ideal get away. Even if things had privately been looking up before he had left for Majesco Academy, there was no denying that home wasn't so great and a good long time away would be just what the doctor ordered.

"Mm... Classes still don't start for a while..." he thought aloud, uncaring as there was no one to be found within the vast room. It was difficult to tell what they were supposed to occupy their time with, but there was supposed to be some sort of assembly in the coming days, assigning partners and letting each student know what their classes were. Or had he misunderstood... There were so few students here just yet, it was almost as if the Academy was abandoned. Alternatively, though he hadn't been quite a social butterfly at camp, he recalled it being absolutely packed at times.

Majesco was like a ghost town compared to Murmuring Pines and it was somewhat worrying.

Don't bother yourself. It's a school, of course things will pick up... There might have been a lot of camps across the states, but this is the only Academy they've made somewhat public in the US... Yes, things would work out, one way or another.

It was kind of a dopey way to spend your first morning at a boarding school, wandering around the halls, wondering if there was some kind of campus tour you missed out on, sort of enjoying the freedom of aimlessness, but mostly just feeling stupid and confused. While Majesco Academy was fairly straightforward in its layout, it was still quite large, and eerily empty at that. Hiryuu couldn't help but feel a pervading sense of unease as he shuffled about, trying to let it all sink in. Not that his hunger was helping much, in terms of concentration or feelings of general wellbeing. The early breakfast he'd made a point of not eating was all good and well for the sake of being spiteful, but not so much for his stomach, which was beginning to cramp.

The cafeteria was definitely somewhere on the first floor, since the second was all dorms and the third... well, he wasn't sure if the place even had a third story, or what might be up there, but it couldn't be up there, because... well, because what kind of idiot puts a cafeteria on the third floor, anyway? Other than that, Hiryuu had to be content with more wandering, since he couldn't remember if he'd seen it so far.

Where is everybody...? he wondered for about the hundreth time in the past hour, trying knobs and peaking into doors as he went, on the off chance of finding some vending machine stashed away. Or another person.

As it turned out though, the boy found what he'd been looking for in a matter of minutes, though it seemed deserted from the outside. The fact didn't exactly surprise him, though it was disappointing, since no people is usually a pretty good indication of no food. Upon closer inspection however, Hiryuu discovered a fully-stocked counter and, lo and wonderment, another living, breathing human being! As awkward as it was being in an almost empty room in the company of a total stranger, it was a helluva lot better than what he was doing before.

He turned his attention back to the display table, scanning the racks for anything good, or at least not as undesireable as the others. The cereal was tempting, though it seemed a little undignifying of a choice for some reason. The fruit was out by default. Hiryuu slid a plastic tray off the top of the pile, grabbed an oatmeal, and poured himself too much milk, which ended up spilling onto the plastic wrap protecting the oatmeal on his way to the tables. Real smooth, klutz... After that was, of course, the trouble of where to sit; on one hand, Hiryuu had never been much of a small talker, but on the other he was getting really sick of this school's fend-for-yourself business.

Clack.

Hiryuu took the seat directly across from the other boy. "So's the food here any good?"
