"Awww, man," Bradley groans. "This is gonna be bad. Waah.....no, no, no...when did my clothes become red?!!!! Aaaaaaaagh!"
Bradley does his best to run away from the bull, breaking almost as many items as the enraged animal. In fact, it seems that the only thing Bradley is any good at at all is running away. He shows no evidence of any sort of powers and if he's had training in anything it clearly hasn't taken. Eventually all of the once fine china items are ground into fine dust and Bradley is somehow hanging off of the bull's horns, desperately trying not to be gored.
Once the Hour is up Rosa appears, and looks around,
"That is quite astonishing, SIM whats the probability that 'every' peace of China would be broken in an hour"A voice comes over the PA of the SIMs Mind.
"2,048,839,999,000:1"
"Humm, that's most interesting, SIM 'Target Practice'"
The Room changes to a large open space, behind them are racks of ranged weapons of call kinds some that look every odd indeed. Rosa gos over and picks up a small pistol, then comes back to Bradley.
"This is a flint-Lock, it is one of the must simple fire arms known, you point and fire. Mr Urquardht I would like you to see if you can shoot me with it."
She walks some 20' away and stands still. All 18' of her looking at him.
dave see's Umbriere and Rin walk off, well Rin was more draged than walk, and thinks 'well fine just leave then. he then hears ace and says "you'd make a betterSergant-At-Arms, I'm going to see what all the positions are, but I'm going to try to join as well,"
Anahita gives the adorable looking Umbriere and then Rin a look, briefly, before smiling warmly and saying, "Greetings, little one." Her accent is clearly from the Keleshite people of Golarion, when speaking in Taldan, the common tongue of the Inner Sea.
With a brief glance to Ori Reading (or the Staff member), Anahita nods with a warm smile of happiness and takes the form, along with any writing implement.
She nods a greeting as well to Rin, looking at her skirt, then smiling. "Perhaps, though, the shortness helps in other things, yes?" She offers up in a positive manner.
With a quick and deft hand with the writing implement, Anahita returns the form to Ori, which has her name and home village that she grew up in, before leaving it, of a Satrap States of the Padishah Empire of Keslsh. She doesn't list any continent or world names, clearly not thinking on that macro level.
Passing it back to Ori, she quickly says, "I am good at ...well, animals, nature.. er.. fire, quite a lot of various things, really. But! I wish to study these walls, the strange clothing and beings I have seen! What are they? Where did they come from?" She can barely keep her excitement in check, pointing as well as anything that is 'technology' or 'sci-fi' given her own experiences. "All the things that are new-- that which I do not know or understand, I wish to study that."
She probably doesn't realize exactly all that's going on, but it's clear she wants to learn about it.
After the orientation ends, Ace stands around talkin to Ginni and her friends "Hmm, all positions are open council wise, huh? Maybe I'll run for VP. Whatcha think girls?"
Starlight winks back into being on Aces shoulder just as he says this.
"O VP that sounds great, Vampire Pirate such a cool title."
dave see's Umbriere and Rin walk off, well Rin was more draged than walk, and thinks 'well fine just leave then. he then hears ace and says "you'd make a better SERGEANT-AT-ARMS Sergant-At-Arms, I'm going to see what all the positions are, but I'm going to try to join as well,"
"So I take it the next competition is politics?" she asked sounding amused.
"oh I don't need to compete per-say, but he can have the VP position or the Sargent at arms one whichever , I'd prefer a more specialized position, one with more power over a specific area, maybe treasurer, I don't know I'll have to see what positions are available, I'm not exactly used to the 'democratic' method of running things, I'm more used to something along the lines of whoever was able to do so and wanted to do so, told everyone else what to do and then everyone else put up with it until a revolt where it repeated, so I don't know all the positions"
"Yes, the shortness helps with mobility." Rin Answered. "Ummmm.... you may call me Rin. i am a Nomadic Street Magician from the Slums of Italy." the Sylph continued.
Passing it back to Ori, she quickly says, "I am good at ...well, animals, nature.. er.. fire, quite a lot of various things, really. But! I wish to study these walls, the strange clothing and beings I have seen! What are they? Where did they come from?" She can barely keep her excitement in check, pointing as well as anything that is 'technology' or 'sci-fi' given her own experiences. "All the things that are new-- that which I do not know or understand, I wish to study that."
She probably doesn't realize exactly all that's going on, but it's clear she wants to learn about it.
Ori laughed. "Okay, well, we can start with History of Agartha. And PE of course, that's required. Ummm.....see the thing about picking out classes about what you don't understand is that I don't know what you do understand or how well you understand the things you do...ummm..."
"And you may call me Umbri, i am a countess from the same homeland. the Italian Government has released Rin into my custody for some minor delinquency." the nymph answered.
Lang assists Ephebe escorting the younger students out
as few try to veer off to go explore on thier own Lang sends a few air balsts along each side of the line to force them back into line.
I tried to warn you guys about the drafts in this school so please stay in line
Lang uses extreme care this time to prevent any freezing from occuring.
there is a bit more concentration in his eyes than before as he works to regain the level of control of his air bending that he once had.
later after the students are where they need to be Lang goes to Ephebe's offices and knocks hoping she is bsack already, if not then he waits patiently outside the door.
"Come in, Lang. The door is not locked," she called out.
Inside the office half of the room was filled with a desk and filing cabinets. The desk was remarkably neatly organized. The other half of the office contained a small sitting area. Ephebe was just placing a tray with cookies and milk on one of the side tables.
"I thought you might appreciate some refreshments while we talk," she said with a welcoming smile. "Please, sit. Help yourself."
Thank you miss headmistress enters the dorrway and give a bow.
then eyeing the cookies he grabs one. Thank you again
after a bite if the cookie Lang looks a bit saddened
Something happened at the orientation that I can't figure out. As you probably already know from the school's corespondance with Master Hito back at the temple, I am a skilled Air bender from the Eastern Sky Temple. But when I was using my air bending to halp you at the orientation. I made a comment, Only jokingly of course, that if he kept on making that face it would freeze like that.
He pauses a moment to give her a chance to take this all in so far.
Well I almost did freeze his face. While that is not what I wanted to happen nor did I mean him any harm, what really bothers me is...I don't know how I did it. I've never had that power before and it was never taught to me when I was an Air bending student.
Lang looks even more worried than before..Is this why Master Hito sent me here? Am I a disgrace to the Temple? Am I some kind of freak?
Headmistress....I'm scared
While listening to Ori Reading speaking, and smiling as she laughs, Anahita nods and seems to really focus on what's being said.
She replies by saying, "I am no good with history, so if that is a challenge, I welcome the chance to learn, but have never learned much of it where I am from. My days did does not require history-- so I did not find purpose in it's use nor reason to memorize any. The day to day is what matters, the moment to moment when the winds blow and life surrounds you." She smiles after saying that, a gesture to go with it, looking hopeful at Ori in her attempt at the simple, yet profound, statement.
She squints a bit at the mention of 'PE' and says, "I do not know what this PE is. Perhaps-- it would help, if I, with more time as to not interrupt those waiting behind me, were to speak with you at length? To know someone takes more than ...uhm, a few questions standing here." She offers that somewhat sagely while looking apologetic at the teaching she presents to an elder.
Then looking back to Umbriere, with a polite, 'excuse me a moment' motion to Ori Reading, she says, "Umbri, well met. You may call me Anahita. A government has released..." she peers at Rin, re-considering her for a moment in a new light, "She is a criminal?"
There's a frown on Anahita's features, but it's not too severe, she's probably not too clear on a lot of what Umbriere just said. With the slightest look of bewilderment, she looks back at Ori and says, "I do not understand much so far, here... perhaps there is a teacher for such? The basics for a traveler from another world and star?"
"Oh I see. Things move around here? Thats going to be bit triffling. Well so far this place does seem too bad." He glances past Adon at a small group of girls talking.
Adon moves on, trying to get to registration.
"not by personal choice, but by Cirsumstance." Rin answered. "i committed a few minor thefts to prevent myself from starving to death, mostly stealing something minor like an apple or loaf of bread a merchant would have a surplus of, or sleeping on the porches of other's private property to protect myself from the rain, having no home of my own."
Roel moved out of the auditorium under everyone's feet to see what this "registration" was.
"It's alright, Lang," she said gently. "You are neither a disgrace nor a freak. This school is here to help children like you learn to master their powers and realize their potential. That is why Master Hito sent you here. Your abilities are advanced beyond what is normal for your age and he thought it would be helpful for you to spend time around other children who were also advanced."
"Now, if your abilities have started to develop in other unexpected ways, it's our job to guide you and help you learn to master these new powers as well. Now to do that I need to understand exactly what happened. Can you tell me what you mean when you said it almost froze his face? A blast of cold or some sort of stasis?"
Anahita turns to listen when Rin speaks with her, discussing her tale of minor thefts.
"I see." She considers Rin for another moment or so, looking her over to study her features and gear (if any visible), before saying, "It sounds as if you have had a hard life. Has that changed since you came here?"
Anahita looks back, making sure she's not keeping anyone waiting, or Ori Reading delayed with the conversation between her and Rin. It seems as though she is a considerate and polite young human.
Dom Steps into line. While he waits he stars strumming a tune.

The basics for a traveler from another world and star?"
"Okay, slow down. And don't worry about the line. There are a lot of staff members here. You don't need to worry about holding up the line. History of Agartha is basically an orientation for off-worlders like you. Advanced History of Agartha is for the natives who want to learn about their past. We're still new at learning to deal with non-natives. Sorry about that. I'll try not to make so many assumptions. Sounds like I should sign you up for Nature Magic as well. You may need something familiar to help keep things from being too overwhelming."
"PE is an abbreviation for physical education. It's a class where you do activities to increase physical fitness. Often there's some form of survival training included in it. Something about people are more likely to seriously run when something is chasing them. All students are required to take this class."
"That leaves you with three more classes you can take. Or just two if you prefer to leave yourself with a study period every day."
"It's alright, Lang," she said gently. "You are neither a disgrace nor a freak. This school is here to help children like you learn to master their powers and realize their potential.

Lang seems relieved at Ephebe's soothing words I will have to talk to Sun about this
hesitantly Lang recounts what happened.
I only tried to use a puff of air to get his attention. but I could feel the moisture in the air and since I mentioned freezing the water in the air began to freeze I could see the droplets forming like snow on my fingers then on his face. it was if I could control the moisture in the air as well as the air itself.
he pauses then looks to her Ephebe.. He has never referred to a teacher by name before I mean...Heaadmistress, Even the Air bending masters, Like Master Hito, do not posses this ability, at least as far as I know
Dom Steps into line. While he waits he stars strumming a tune.
"I can help who's next," she called out.
She unconsciously started humming the harmony to the tune he had been playing as she pulled out a registration form.
Anahita turns to listen when Rin speaks with her, discussing her tale of minor thefts.
"I see." She considers Rin for another moment or so, looking her over to study her features and gear (if any visible), before saying, "It sounds as if you have had a hard life. Has that changed since you came here?"
Anahita looks back, making sure she's not keeping anyone waiting, or Ori Reading delayed with the conversation between her and Rin. It seems as though she is a considerate and polite young human.
"i just came here yesterday, so i cannot make a complete judgement of the circumstances yet. but yes, my life was pretty hard." the sylph answered.

"Not surprising. That sounds more like what Morrivan does. She's a waterbender. Perhaps she would be willing to tutor you in this. I can try and coordinate with her schedule to find a time that will work."

Anahita looks back, making sure she's not keeping anyone waiting, or Ori Reading delayed with the conversation between her and Rin. It seems as though she is a considerate and polite young human.
"Oh, are you also waiting for registration?" She pulled out another form for Rin. "No sense all of standing around wasting time," she said cheerfully. "You might as well fill out your form too."
"oh I don't need to compete per-say, but he can have the VP position or the Sargent at arms one whichever , I'd prefer a more specialized position, one with more power over a specific area, maybe treasurer, I don't know I'll have to see what positions are available, I'm not exactly used to the 'democratic' method of running things, I'm more used to something along the lines of whoever was able to do so and wanted to do so, told everyone else what to do and then everyone else put up with it until a revolt where it repeated, so I don't know all the positions"
"President, Vice President - they take over if anything happens to the president, secretary - they keep track of the records, treasurer who of course keeps track of funds, and then three general council members. They help the staff by organizing events and such."
"So you guys already have your schedules right? Just making sure."
"i already have a prefilled registration form inside my shoulder bag." Rin answered, reaching into her messenger style bag and grabbing the forms. "Umbri's Uncle filled these out for me. including the medical forms and such." the Sylph asked, "Where do i turn in these forms?"
"i already have a prefilled registration form inside my shoulder bag." Rin answered, reaching into her messenger style bag and grabbing the forms. "Umbri's Uncle filled these out for me. including the medical forms and such." the Sylph asked, "Where do i turn in these forms?"
"Oh, well, that's good then. You can turn those in here. Do these forms also indicate your preferences for classes or do you need to figure out a schedule now?"
Tyrrin was backstage after the presentation, looking a little exhausted. While her appearance on stage seemed to go well... "Thank you, Miss Jones, for covering for me. I completely forgot about the club informational sessions. It's not like me to forget something like that."
"Not surprising. That sounds more like what Morrivan does. She's a waterbender. Perhaps she would be willing to tutor you in this. I can try and coordinate with her schedule to find a time that will work."Lang seems relieved at Ephebe's soothing words I will have to talk to Sun about this

Lang looks really confused at that offer
I'm an Air bender what can she teach me? I don't understand air benders are not water benders. besides I never knew there even were benders of the other elemnets I though they were all gone, A thing of ancient history
Adon stands in line.
"i already have a prefilled registration form inside my shoulder bag." Rin answered, reaching into her messenger style bag and grabbing the forms.

Do these forms also indicate your preferences for classes or do you need to figure out a schedule now?"
"Well, they list some applicable interests such as Parkour, Wizardry, Linguistics, Legal Studies, and Accounting." Rin answered with a bit of haste. "any other classes you feel appropriate to my talents, you may list."
Tyrrin was backstage after the presentation, looking a little exhausted. While her appearance on stage seemed to go well... "Thank you, Miss Jones, for covering for me. I completely forgot about the club informational sessions. It's not like me to forget something like that."
"It's perfectly alright, Miss Denulia. Public speaking is daunting even to those who are good at it. I think it went considerably better than last year," she added with a hint of what might almost be a smile.
Roel slides near ori, constitutes himself into his humanoid form, and asks "so what's this all about?"
"Not surprising. That sounds more like what Morrivan does. She's a waterbender. Perhaps she would be willing to tutor you in this. I can try and coordinate with her schedule to find a time that will work."Lang seems relieved at Ephebe's soothing words I will have to talk to Sun about this

Ephebe outright laughs. "Tell that to my mother. She's an earthbender. And I assure you, I have seen Morrivan waterbending before. As for what she can teach you, well, waterbending of course. If that's what you're doing you need to know how to use it. If it's not what's going on she'll be able to help you figure that out too."
"I can't afford to make mistakes like that in the future. I have to be perfect." Tyrrin sighed. For just a brief moment, she seemed like a tired kid trying to be an adult. Then it's gone, leaving Miss Jones wondering if what she'd seen had really happened. "You're right though. That did go much better. I don't do ooze. It's not my style."
Before the assembly, Vai had noted that Sadie had gone over to sit with Dara. Well, Vai had promised to take them flying... though tonight was with Fei. Maybe tomorrow? "Fei, I'm gonna go see how Sadie and Dara are doing... do you have work to do today?" she was, of course, referring to Fei's work-study with the Materials and Supplies department.
Ryckart gets in line to get his schedule.
Lang smiles joining in Ephebe's luaghing and happy to hear about earth benders.
Thank you HeadmistressLang Bows as he turns to leave then goes back in and grabs the rest of the cookies. Ahhhh...For Sun
and he turns and heads back to the garden excitedly.
I'm going to be a waterbender, I'm going to be a waterbender, I'm going to be a waterbender, I'm going to be a waterbender. he chants as he navigates the halls towards the garden.
upon reaching the garden Lang finds Sun still by the Willow Tree
Hey Sun. Guess what... but before Sun can answer I'm going to learn waterbending. And the headmistress...remember her, her mom is an Earthbender. isn't that great, they really do exist
Sun exits his statue form.
Seems he has discovered it Sun thinks to himself as he already knew but was waiting till the time was right but is the time right? is he ready for the responsibility?
That is great, So what makes you think You can waterbend?
Sun sit and looks at him sternly attempting to reenforce mental dicipline that Lang should already know.

"So you guys already have your schedules right? Just making sure."
"hmm I thought I heard something about Sergeant at arms... or was it legs or something like that, for keeping people in line, I'll probably go for treasurer or general manager,"
after hearing the bit about the schedule"yeah, want to compare schedules, see if we share any" he pulls out the paper from his satchel bag "I got, Advanced PE, Meditation, Psychology, Alchemy, Intermediate Psionics, Magical Engineering, , Advanced Spellcraft, and Heavy blades to round it out."
"Yea, I got my schedule. I'm taking Botany, Care for Magical Creatures, APE, Mathematics, History of Agartha, and Engineering."

"Pretty much. I'll have to ask Pheebs which of those is the correct form. Anyways, I teach the elementary kids music class, but they're kinda swamped today so I'm helping out with the registration. Don't worry. You get used to the insanity," she added with a grin, handing him the form. "You pretty much just fill in this part here and then we figure out a class schedule for you."
"Hmm. I'm in regular PE. Not really the most athletic person," she said with a shrug. "And Mathemagics, Alchemy, Basic Mechanics, Advanced Illusions, and Art. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm good at. I mean, other than illusions. I can do them and they're cool and all, but they don't really take a lot of my time and attention."
"So it looks like I have one class with each of you guys."
"Well, they list some applicable interests such as Parkour, Wizardry, Linguistics, Legal Studies, and Accounting." Rin answered with a bit of haste. "any other classes you feel appropriate to my talents, you may list.""i already have a prefilled registration form inside my shoulder bag."

"Okay, so advanced PE, Basic Arcana, Language Arts, Mathemagics, Beginning Bookkeeping, and History of Agartha. Does that sound acceptable?"
Adon stands in line.
"I can help who's next."
"i haven't gotten my Schedule Yet." Umbri answered
