Peony hears the boy and gives a sigh of relief. She sat down at the table and bowed her head to the kind boy. "Thanks and appreciation." she thanked him. She then hands her ID to him, Peony of Iridescent Day, Year 3, Foreign Exchange Student, it read. "Peonui'o Iridescent Aur, that is my name. Call me by first name, please." She said with a smile. She looked at all of them with golden eyes. "And all of you?"
“Oliver Savvas! Call me Oliver, I love your name, it’s beautiful!”
"I'm Beau Liam Torres, but you can.. also just call me by my first name."
Beaming, she bowed her head to Oliver once more. "You are kind, Oliver." Though it sounded more like 'Ali-Var'. "Nice to eat you!" she said with a hand gesture, pressing two fingers to her chest, then her lips, and flicking them towards her. She was showing regards to him in heart and voice. She turned to Beau and did the same.
Oliver smiles, “it’s nice to meet you as well!” He tilts his head, “where are you from?”
Beau looked confused for a moment, but repeated the gesture after a second, hoping that was the right thing to do in this situation.
Barry repeated the action as well, worried he was messing up. “I’m Barry Lawrence. Of um…. of New York. Nice to meet you.”
"I'm Sym Arter, I'm from an entirely different dimension," Sym said, having finished his food and was just watching the conversation."
Fade, who was quietly listening to Barry play, suddenly flinches when he drops the guitar. He turns around to see what was wrong, he looks at Barry's face and notices that he didn't look too well. As Fade starts to get up Barry storms out of the room. Fade just stands there staring at the guitar.
(Aw poor Fade)
“Nice to meet you too, Sym. God, everyone’s from other dimensions or immortal or from heaven and I’m just…. from New York.”
Meet? She thought for a moment. Am I saying the word wrong? Fade said 'eat' as well. Maybe it is a change in vernacular. "Good to meet you as well. I come from Grishnoc'va. Very big island in Atlantic seas…" she thought for a moment and bit her lip. She puffed her cheeks and hoped she said this right. "Beramuda Triancule and such…." she told them, making a triangle with her fingers. "Very far away lands… not of your world."
"Meh, you probably wouldn't be able to survive in my dimension." He said, shrugging his shoulders and putting down the knife he had been playing with.
(Lmao, he'll be fine)
Fade just smiles weakly. "Gosh you haven't changed one bit, is something really bothering you that much?" He goes to pick up Barry's guitar and tries to play something on it but fails miserably. He narrows his eyes at the guitar. "I guess you only play for Barry." He sets it on the bed and walking out he hears voices so he goes to investigate.
(Wait who is Fade talking to the first time?)
Barry eyed the knife tensely, smiling at Peony. “The Bermuda Triangle? That’s really interesting, what’s it like?”
(Himself lol it's directed at Barry but since he left)
Fade walks into the room where everyone was at "oh" he says having walked in, but slowly and dramatically backs out of the room, as if he had interrupted something.
Oliver looks excitedly, “very mysterious!”
"Hard to explain…" She trialed. "Hmm… Beramuda Triancule is Uniting point, we met humans there, they brought me here. Papa, he voyaged across seas and found the humans. So much interesting life! He come back with new hopes for my future. Little later, I step through portal to Beramuda and humans bring me here." She said as she picked up a strawberry and took a small bite. "New York, what is?" She asked with wide golden brown eyes.
Barry smiled gently. “It’s a… city. Very busy, lots of metal and tall buildings and roads, many, many people.” Frowning, he turned to the door. “Fade?”
Oliver notices his frown and turns to look as well
(Ah holy heck I missed a lot. Where is everyone right now?)
She nodded. "Hmm, well I've been to a city once, very excitement. Papa didn't want us to stay for long though. Too many against the Mauryanti, my people." Her head then snapped up at the mention of Fade. She looked towards the door. "Sha'Dar!" she said with excitement.
(I'm not sure; maybe a cafeteria or lounging area?)
(The dining hall!)
(Okay, thank you!)
(@emma should we just bring our characters down to the dining hall?)
(yeah)
Aether turned to Maggie. "Hey, I'm feeling a little famished. Want to head down to the dining hall?"
Magdalena nodded, her stomach grumbling at the idea of food. "Absolutely. Unpacking can wait."
Aether laughed. "I agree." The she-wolf was always hungry, and had to eat more than normal to sustain her abilities. Aether headed out the dorm door, hopefully with Maggie in tow, and towards the dining hall.
When they arrived at the dining hall, Magdalena was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of students crowded inside. "Woah. This is the most students I've seen here."
