James couldnt help but giggle as what Nellie did


"he he... nice one"


the ogre was furious he turned to miss kathra and was about to speak but


"bathrooms are on floors 1-2-4-7 and the first two levels of the basement, if you nee - Mr knucklebocker that was a provoked attack which could have been avoided with a simple apology, or if you just stopped the taunting, you're still in trouble! now back to my explaination...."


James looked to Nellie


"thank you"


--- Merged Double Post ---


Trace and Virtus seemed to be making good progress, but they were soon both stoped by a couple of black tendrils grabbing them, yanking them back, what caught them was a slime staff member


"gotcha!" she exclaimed.. or at least, in a feminine voice


she began moving over both of them, sucking them both into her slimy mass, then began moving back to the main group, both of the boys stuck inside her.


"dont try struggling, it wont work, and dont try magic either, i put a blocker on myself and now your in me, so you're magic is blocked as well!"


the slime got them both back to the main group and spat them both out.


"thank you Sandra"


the slime made a strange jiggling motion then moved on, miss kathra grinned at the two boys


"went on a little adventure, did we? both of you are going to my office after this with Mr Knucklebocker after your introduction to the school"
 
"I had a feeling it was too easy..." A man walked towards the crowd from the main doors of the Academy. "Miss Kathra! I hope the orientation is going well?" Behind him was a machine that reached his waist. It appeared to be made of brass,and moved on a sphere,with a humanoid torso,head an arms. The man himself wore a jumpsuit emblazoned with the school's insignia on the front and back,and had a mop of brown hair,tied back in a hairnet. His happy brown eyes scanned the crowd. It's obvious he was fresh out of the workshop. He waved to the assembled crowd,and said, "Hey,kids! I'm Ezekiel Russ. I'm the chief tech of this place. That means if it aint magic,I probably built it. Like Gizmo,here." He gestured to the sphere bot at his side,which gave a happy wave to everyone.


He turned to Kathra,and asked, "So,who made your list?"
 
Meranda smiled as Ezekiel approached


"Hello Zeke, students remember this man's name, he will be your math and scienc co-ordinator, both key fields in the area of machinery, arent they Mr Russ?" it was clear she was more used to calling him "Zeke"


she chuckled a bit "and dont let his age fool you kids, Zeke was a child prodigy, building machines since he was born, and you all have the same potential that he has"


she nodded to Zeke then bought attention back to her


"alright everyone, male dorms are to the west, female dorms are to the north, there are signs up that say where to go and the seniors are ready to help if ever you get lost or ned a hand, the school's official Orientation is in 2 hours, feel free to wander untill then, the orientation will be in the main hall, at the base of the biggest spire, the one behind me"


she gestured to everything as she mentioned it, and then her orientation came to an end


"now, if you have any more questions?..."
 
"Uh..." Ili said, raising a 'hand', not quite sure how to ask 'his' little question.


The whole orientation had passed by quite quickly, and Ili had absorbed little of the information the teacher had given. He'd just been to busy looking at all the things around the campus.
 
"Well, which dorm should I be in?" Ili asked, feeling a little embarrassed to be asking it aloud. The gender crisis was something Ili had never put much thought into; where others knew their place right away, it took him a few moments to figure out what to do.
 
Meranda thought for a minute


"hmm, well slimes get to choose either the male or female dorms since you count as both, however you will be sleeping in containers in the middle of the room, does that help at all?"
 
"i guess so," Ili replied, now unsure of where to go as people began to break off, heading towards their respective rooms, leaving a very confused slime in the middle of the courtyard.
 
James went up to Ili


"Hey Ili, you should stay with me! i bet i've got somewhere you can stay in my room"
 
"I...I just thought, 'cause I got you wet and all..."


The reasoning didn’t make sense to Minka and she shrugged rather uselessly, until surprise marked her features as the girl backed off. At her question, the angel looked around rather wildly


“My cheeks are a different color!?” she questioned back in response, getting cut short by a throat clearing.


It was one of the black robes, whose face was obscured by shadows but was soon revealed to the crowd, Meranda Kathra, as she introduced explains her job and what they were learning at the school. The new group was then led on a tour, and in the confusion she had lost both the girl she was talking to and her new friends.


Following the group was her best bet though, as she knew staying on the platform would get her nowhere. That didn’t stop her from trailing towards the back, not catching most of the shenanigans that happened in front of her. Although she had caught some of the ogre’s comments and found that she already disliked him. They came to a stop as a man approached the group, and try as she might, Minka could not see the man who had identified himself as Ezekiel Russ.


Someone else had eventually caught her interest though, a red-head that stood against one of the many window panes of the second floor. The somewhat older figure had her arms crossed loosely against her chest and seemed to be staring out at them. Minka looked around at the other windows expectantly, but when she glanced back the woman was gone.


Her focus turned back to Meranda at that time, hearing the directions to their dorms and that the official orientation was in 2 hours and in the building behind her, the same one that held the mysterious woman. Brushing her off for now, she followed the feminine part of the crowd north to get to this ‘dorm’. She had eavesdropped on the girl’s surrounding her to hear that rooms were picked, as well as roommates, who she learned… lived with them.


As the crowd now thinned out, she spotted a man with gorgeous brown hair and bright brown eyes that seemed to happily scan the crowd. Minka felt her heart skip a beat, and silently cursed the dirty jumpsuit and hairnet that took away from the image. She completely stopped walking when she noticed the thing next to him; it seemed almost robotic, and she wondered what kind of creature it was. Forcing herself to walk again, all the while silently watching the man who looked nowhere old enough to be a teacher, she felt rather giddy.


[[OoC: In case you didn’t know…The woman in the window is our favourite physical mage, Valentina!! :3 (I shall talk to yee later Bettsy, about why she’s there) Also, yes Rid…Minka does have a teacher crush on Ezekiel. Not much else to say :8D: ]]
 
(OOC: I think we were spat out,Coro)


Trace started to scrape the goop from his body as he trudged to the western dorms,muttering something about wanting to learn the layout of the Academy quickly.


The robot,Gizmo,continued to wave happily at the students as they walked by,and vocalized with strange clicking and whirring sounds,sounding almost cute in the proccess. Zeke chuckled,and said, "Alright,Gizmo,you can stay behind and get to know the students. Just stay away from that ogre boy,alright? You're not built for combat." Gizmo nodded happily,and wheeled off to greet the students,arms above it's head. Zeke chuckled,and turned to Kathra. "So,what do you think of this year's crop? Your guesses are always accurate."


Meanwhile,Gizmo noticed one of the new girls was staring at Zeke. It decided to greet her,first. It rolled up to her,and said,in a voice like GiR's from "Invader Zim", "Hey,there! I'm Gizmo! Who're you?" With it's final statement,Gizmo tilted it's head.


(OOC Mk II: Gizmo looks like this,except shorter,cuter,and no weapons: http://images.wikia.com/elderscrolls/images/1/1f/Sphere.png )


 
"That sounds like a good idea!" Ili replied, bouncing up and down wildly, wobbling like mad at the same time.


Suddenly the indecision from before evaporated, leaving a beaming pink slime again.
 
Virtus sighed, snapping his fingers.


Azure came forth again, in another puff of smoke. "How did I see this coming?" He asked while chuckling.


".......... Please hose me down." Virtus asked, biting back a scathing retort. Azure nodded, and did what was asked of him, shooting water forth from his mouth, getting the goop off Virtus. Settling back on his shoulder, Azure curled up again.


"Well, anyways, what to do now, Trace?" Virtus asked, shaking himself sort-of dry.
 
Trace turned around and shrugged. "Find a room,then do some more exploring? I dunno." He scraped off some more goo,and said, "I don't think I like being eaten by slimes."
 
Azure took the liberty to hose down Trace as well.


"May I suggest keeping your noses clean, and not causing trouble?" He chimed, sounding like a chiding parent. One that was a little too happy to be doing the chiding.


Virtus rolled his eyes. "As long as trouble doesn't come looking for me, it's not like I'll be looking for it." ​
 
Trace spotted a brass robot talking to one of the girls. "Huh...Maybe we can find Mr.Russ' workshop? I wanna know what other machines he has floating around." He grabbed the front of his shrity,and wrung it out,being careful to leave his chest covered. He heard about how some people react to even the Legion's emblem,which was tattooed onto his chest upon creation.
 
Virtus nodded.


"Sounds like a plan. Do you have any idea where it is?" He asked.
 
Trace shrugged,and said, "The back,maybe? Who knows what he builds. And besides..." Trace crackeda grin. "Machines are fun. Right?"
 
As people started moving, Nellie blinked a few times. Looking down at the fishbowl, she got the same response she had. What was going on? Listening to people speak, she realized that these dorms were where they were suppose to say, and looking down at herself she repeated a word her mother had used a few times when angry, none very feminine and not at all proper.


Looking around, a bit unsure of herself, one of the older students came up from behind, before placing a hand on her shoulder, electing a small scream of surprise and scare. "Hey, hey hey, calm down shortie, I'm just here to help, you look a little lost...."


Nellie looked down, before biting her lip. "I..don't really know where to go...." The kid quirked an eyebrow"Your female ain't cha? What's there to not know?"


Shaking her head, she sighed softly. "Excuse me, please..." Ducking away from the kid who was clearly no 'help', she looked around, before her eyes settled on the woman who had been speaking, who was now engaged with the other one. Moving closer, she waited silently to be noticed to ask her question.
 
Virtus shrugged. "I know literally nothing about machines." He replied, ready to follow Trace.
 
(Okay, I'm just gonna jump in. I read a few pages, and i think I have an idea of what's going on. If not, please correct me XP Forgive weak start, I'll pick up soon)


Taylor stepped off the train and released a pregnant sigh. He had stayed quiet during the train ride, but only because he didn't want to attract any sort of attention or draw any trouble. Taking in the school's appearance, he headed West to the boy's dorm, hoping he wouldn't be stuck with anybody....Too weird. Then again, he was in no position to call anybody weird. Especially in a place like this.
 
Trace shrugged. "We have two hours to kill. Let's drop our stuff off in a room,and get going,eh?" Trace bounded up the stairs on the West Tower,and dropped his bag on a bed in the first room he came across,and went back outside to wait for Virtus.
 
As the robotic creature rolled in front of her, Minka stumbled a bit before coming to stop in front of it. Idly wondering if it had saw her watching, she glanced back towards the man to find him gone, with a slight pout she turned to ‘Gizmo’. It was quite cute and a little bit shorter then her, but it still made her nervous…


“…M-Minka” she noted, after her eyes darted away from its face.


Keeping her head down, she moved to pass the robot and head towards the female dorms, trying to keep an eye out for other student in her peripheral vision.
 
Cam got off the train with her suit case and wedged her way through the thick crowd to listen to the speaker, she was a bit irritated to find so many people didn't find what she was saying interesting or even listen politely. Bast was laying on her shoulders, taking up all of the space and more. Her long tail flicked then curled loosely around Cam's neck affectionately. Bast was heavy and very furry, but that didn't hinder the wild grin that was crawling across Cam's lips as she took in the fabulous place. She thought of all the mysteries it held, all the adventures waiting in it's walls, everything that was so...unordinary.


She almost squealed in delight when she learned they had a mechanics class, to learn to put things back together after she takes them apart, and just to learn how things work. She pushed her copper hair behind her ear. The mass of her fellow students moved around her as they were dismissed, Cam moved with them, bouncing on the balls of her feet to see where they were going. Bast hissed softely in protest. Cam rolled her eyes, "Oh, be quiet, you," but continued smiling as they made their way closer to the castle.
