CLASSES BEGIN

Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

Despite… other disturbances, the flow of time is inexorable. And so too, is the beginning of classes. The bells of Daybreak Academy peal joyfully as students are roused from their beds far earlier than they would prefer to attend their new classes. The Professors, of course, are also back in it, their classrooms (presumably) neatly dusted and arranged for the fresh new faces of this year’s crop, eager and ready to learn. Presumably.

A. OPENING BANQUET

As is the custom of Daybreak, a grand sumptuous banquet has been prepared for the night following the first day of classes. With entire pigs spit-roasted over open flame, chicken and beef of all sorts, juices, wines and beers from all over Europe, and of course the best breads and chocolates as befits a French school, the banquet is truly one for the record books. Of course, they say that every year.

B. SYLLABUS HANDOUTS

Most teachers at this point are handing out the syllabi for their next class, although a few more aggressive ones may have already launched fully into teaching. If you have questions about this quarter’s curriculum, now’s the time to voice it.

C. MEET AND GREET

With the new school year comes new opportunities to forge lifelong friendships. And what better way to do that than by partaking in cheesy icebreakers courtesy of your RAs? While hardly mandatory, RAs are highly encouraged to turn out their entire floor by being as annoyingly peppy and persistent as possible. At a school like this, it’s important to make new friends!

D. SOMETHING BLEW UP AGAIN

Daybreak Academy is a bit of an unusual school by any conventional standards. Daemons, fairies and youkai studying alongside humans that can call upon arcane power and bring forth divine light are hardly your usual fare. And this, of course, means that it’s usually a matter of hours before something blows up somewhere on campus. For new students, this might be a startling, shocking experience. For seasoned students, well, it’s just that time again.

banquet

[unlogic]

[Desidera, on the other hand, does go overboard at the banquet, just like she's done nearly every time she's been in the cafeteria since she had arrived in the middle of last month. Despite that, she's managed to stay a little on the skinny side herself.

She could definitely use a food coma at some point, though, with the trouble she's had sleeping both before and after the Sandman had decided to go and do his thing.

So here she is, with a plate that's looking pretty overloaded as it is, and Kokoro is suggesting more stuff.]

Mm, my plate's already a bit full. Maybe after I've gone through some of what I already have here. [It's more like "definitely after", really.]

[stavros]

I mean you no offence, but are you going to eat all that?

[unlogic]

[That might actually be the first time anyone's asked her that. She was expecting it to happen sooner.]

None taken, but yes, I absolutely intend to.

[stavros]

I admire your resolve, but I also hope you don't get sick.

[unlogic]

Oh, I usually have more than this, so I'm sure I'll be fine.

[She may or may not have just doomed herself. She probably will be fine, this really is less than normal for her, but only tomorrow will be able to tell for sure.]

[stavros]

...You can't be that much taller than I am.

[She blinks and looks between the two of them, then at her own plate.]

[unlogic]

No, not by too much, it looks like. [There's a difference of just under three inches, with Desidera indeed being the taller of the two. That's if one doesn't count the horns (Desi doesn't), which give her a little more than another inch.

She glances back and forth a moment for herself, wondering if she should have held back some more or if she should try suggesting that Kokoro go and take just a bit more.]

I have a bit of a high metabolism, to be honest.

[stavros]

It wouldn't be my place to judge regardless. Forgive me, I was simply surprised.

[unlogic]

There's no need to apologize. [She's still not offended.]

[stavros]

You haven't been here long, right? My name is Kokoro Belmont. It's good to meet you, then.

[unlogic]

It's been a bit over a month for me, now. Mi chiamo Desidera Neroni, it's a pleasure.

[stavros]

There's a great deal going on, so you won't find much to bore you. Unless you deliberately join a club you hate or some such thing.
