[OPEN!]
Who: Akko + anyone at all!
When: July 1st
Where: All around campus!
What: Akko is already making herself comfortable here on her very first day!
Warnings: Shouldn't be any!
i. aube, 104 + common room
[Day 1 is a doozy, as they say in the industry. That's what's on Akko's mind as she drags her luggage into her room and contemplates everything she's just been told about the Herald's arrival. The most frustrating part of all of it is that it's happening tomorrow and she's too late to help out. But she looks surprisingly determined and optimistic anyway. She'll be ready for next time. And she can help hold down the fort at Daybreak while the majority of their forces are out fighting, right?
Anyway, she takes a good deal of time setting up her room while she thinks about this, leaving the door open to get a breeze going through. One can hear her singing enthusiastically in another language as she lays out all of her clothes, books, and personal items on the desk and bed.
Later, Akko spends some time in the common room's kitchen to make lunch. Except she's an awful cook and you can probably smell the grilled cheese burning from two floors away.]
ii. market square
[Okay so lunch at home was a bust, but the market square has food stalls, and that's all the prompting Akko needs to check it out. But man, there are so many options??? And nothing is particularly familiar food, either. After all, she comes from Japan, and her time in England was spent in a VERY rural location where street foods weren't really a thing. All these sandwiches and salad stalls...where's a girl got to go to get a good piece of dango around here?
That said, Akko is definitely standing in the middle of everything looking extremely awestruck and in the gosh darn way. Maybe help her decide what to eat, or at least guide her out of the way because what's worse than That One Person who stands in the middle of oncoming peoples' way.]
iii. somewhere on the lawn, idk
[It's not all fun and games, though. Akko has to practice to keep her skills sharp, and what better place to do it than just. Outside on the lawn. It's a lovely day, she doesn't see any reason not to.
However it doesn't occur to her that it might be a little alarming to see a person continuously shifting between being human, a ball of brilliant white light, various animals, and then back again. In Luna Nova, that's all people did. Shape shift, heal, repair - alter was the name of the game. One day, it might click that this isn't Luna Nova and the range of skills and races is way more diverse here at Daybreak. Today is not the day.
And if that sight isn't alarming enough, Akko's here to fix that! If you stare long enough without engaging, she just might bounce over your way while beaming.]
Hey! Sorry to bother you, but could I copy you for a second?
iv. wildcard
[Idk man hit me up on discord (azazelbunny#3388) or plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[And she has been at it a while. Sure, Akko still struggles when casting spells on other people and objects, but that's never stopped her from trying. It's all practice in the end. Chariot said practice makes perfect.
So despite the fact that the air smells like burnt bread and cheese, Akko takes a deep breath and focuses on the unappetizing brick of grilled cheese in front of her. As she holds her hands over it, almost as if warming them by a fire, it begins to glow with a white light. The light grows until it's almost too bright to look at, before rapidly dimming to reveal the results of her work.
An edible grilled cheese sandwich. It's dark, but it's no longer burnt. Maybe that's just personal preference. It has nothing to do with the fact that reversing "damage" to objects is difficult and exhausting. Nothing at all.]
Phew... [She shakes the tingling sensation out of her hands, laughing.] Can't fix the smell, though. That'll just take time!
no subject
That's incredible! I've never seen anything like this before!
[ who needs to be a good cook when you can just do this? ]
My name's Ruby, by the way!
no subject
[Surely everyone knows about this school exclusively for Candles that only accepts the students they handpick off their magical monitoring radar. No need for further explanation.]
no subject
[ no...NO...she's so cool!!! ruby looks so impressed, and she's slightly envious of the other girl now -- luna nova's somewhere ruby wished she could've gone to. if only she'd unlocked her flame sooner. ]
That's amazing!!! How did you like it there? Did you get to do cool magic? Oh, oh! And did you learn how to fight with new weapons?!
no subject
[Everyone would love Chariot, she's sure of it. She tries her best to address all of Ruby's questions, but she's honestly really excited to meet someone as enthusiastic about Luna Nova as she is so she kind of rants in between relevant points.]
We learned a lot of cool things, yeah! Chariot teaches metamorphosis magic, which I thought could only be used to shape shift, but she applies it in a lot of super unique ways. For example, you can morph away wounds and damage to certain objects if you can learn to project your flame outwards - like I did with my sandwich! As for weapons, we learned a little about a lot of different combat forms, but it was mostly up to us to seek out combat lessons outside of Chariot's classes. Personally I learned a little archery and a tiny bit about pole arms, but I'm hoping Daybreak can help me learn how to fight more effectively since my training is minimal.
no subject
If you ever need help with learning how to fight, let me know anytime! [ she's very skilled at it, after all! ]
Oh! You keep mentioning someone named "Chariot." What's she like?
no subject
[She goes on gushing for a solid several minutes about Chariot's views on Nightfall, inspirational things she's said, and details her teaching methods with very, very high praise. There's a light in her eyes as she talks and gestures enthusiastically, and when she finishes up, Akko looks almost wistful.]
Chariot really changed everything for me. She made me realize how important being a Candle is, but even more than that, she brought so much joy and confidence to my life that I stopped being afraid of Nightfall. Because of her, I know we can do whatever needs to be done! As Candles, it's not just our job, it's part of who we are!
no subject
[ that akko is so excited to talk about her paints a good picture of chariot in her head. ]
And really inspiring, too! Makes me kind of jealous that I didn't get to meet her in Luna Nova, hehe...
no subject
[Akko clasps her hands together and bounces on her feet.]
Even if you don't, I bet you'll find someone just as inspiring here at Daybreak! The staff here are crazy strong and really talented, from what I hear. I'm actually looking forward to starting my classes in earnest in the fall!
no subject
[ ruby gives her an affirmative nod, too. ]
What classes are you taking?
no subject
[Self-morphing? Practically mastered. But as soon as it comes to healing, shaping, or affecting other things? She's pretty flimsy at best.]
I'm most interested in runes right now, but I hear there's a magical shop class and that could be really fun, too.
no subject
[ look how excited she is. she's beaming about it! ]
The magical shop class sounds super fun, too! Let's take it together?
no subject
[Her excitement only makes Akko more excited, and she's practically bouncing again as Ruby suggests they take a class together.]
Yeah, definitely! Oh man, this school is so great, I can't wait for next semester!
