There came the gurgle again. Joseph grabbed his stomach as he made his way towards the dining hall. Not two hours into his first day at the academy and his stomach was already demanding food. Well at least he got everything settle at the dormatories, which meant he had some free time before orientation later. What better way to spend it than to apease his growling stomach.
The double doors to the dining hall burst open to reveal Joseph's dashing form. Arms holdding the doors open in each hand, his bonded revolver sitting largly in it's holster on his waste, spare ammunition lining his belt, distinguishing glasses, and a dark suit that spoke of discipline. To anyone who'd never met him, Midnight might seem a little too refine to be a modern day cowboy, but then his stomach growl loudly and he gripped it in slight embarrasement. With a casual smile to a few observing faces he made his way towards the dining line and began filling a tray with foood.

"Another new person?... "
He looked over at the boy, nope, he hadnt seen him in any of the classes so far, maybe he was.. oh well. It was better to introduce yourself even if they were or not. Rising up from where he was sitting, he closed the book he had gotten from the library on mythic swords and latched it shut before heading towards the lunch line. Grabbing himself a tray he headed right into line behind this boy.
"Hmm. Seems like you caught the attention of a few people, not a bad suit you got on either. Custom tailor?"
He asked with a raised brow, he was wearing a plain ole t-shirt but he did have an armani suit which he had been given as thanks for a "job" he did, he almost never got paid cash, it always seemed gifts of food or otherwise.

"Get out of here you little pest!" A elderly cook yelled thowing her out with the help of five other cooks. Talbot, her blonde hair flying loosely and her turquoise skirts rustling as she landed on one foot, turned and faced them.
"If you would only go by the instructions I gave you earlier this week you wouldn't have to-"
The door was shut and locked. Soft whispers surround her and she shook her head and crossed her arms, "Fine be that way you no talent hacks! We'll see if you ever win any cooking awards any time soon."
Mikon fluttered in through an open window, he chittered and landed on her shoulder. Talbot smiled and pet Mikon who then, ducking into the pocket in her sleeve, quickly fell asleep. Talbot shook her head and sighed, "What a waste of good cooking materials."

Midnight looked over his shoulder to see a blonde haird fellow addressing him. "It's kind of a uniform from my last school. It's sort of a distinction of my discipline. Name's Joseph Midnight by the way, and you are?" he replied just before a commotion was heard furthur down the line. Looking over he could see a girl standing defiantly but affectionately petting a familiar. Unconciously, Joseph's hand brushed his gun, not out of alarm, but to actually pet his weapon. "And who is that if you know?"

"Well, I am Scith Kaines, as for knowing her, I must say I do not. Seems the lunch ladies didnt like what she was doing back there if they threw her out like that. "
He rolled his shoulders slightly to show his unknowing in a more common way. Before settling back once more.. however.. speaking of familiars.. he noticed a head poking itself up against the metal counter of the food line, trying to get at what lay below it. Standing upwards on its hind legs. A simple snap of his fingers was enough to catch the animals attention, at which the wolven figure trotted back and stopped down by his-side.
"Bah.. you little moocher, you know better that all you had to do was wait. "

Joseph gave a grunt at the lack of knowledge about the girl. Well she was cute, might as well ask her to join me...looking like us now though. The gunmage looked back at the student, "Nice to meet you Scith. You and I'm assuming your familiar want to join me?" he asked once he'd filled his tray with a sufficient amount of meat and potatoes.
Picking up his tray he regarded the girl one more time but looked back to Scith to await an answer. "I mean, it's my first day, maybe you could give me some tips for surviving waaaay up here."

"Heh sure, a few people I met gave me the same ideas and such, I can tell you a little bit about the school itself. "
He smiled and picked up a few bits of boneless chicken, and some potatoes and a bottle of water before waiting on him to lead the way, though he also figured that they would be asking the female to join them as well, of course, he wanted to ask her as well.. but would let Joesph do said introduction and such, might as well get Zaro satisfied so he wouldnt bug him in the middle of a conversation.

Joseph gave the student a nod and made his way to a table through other people down to a table on the end where the girl stood. He had to twist every so often to avoid others from brushing his weapon. It wouldn't have liked that.
After setting his tray down he strolled up to the blonde girl and flashed her as charming a smile as he could. "Old people can be pretty rough, huh? Why don't you come and sit with me and my friend and you can tell us what happened?" he offered, his voice reflecting his smile.

He followed this Joesph boy in a fluid manner, making sure that Zaro was staying right at his side as he did not want the animal wondering off, he had a real habit of wandering off and getting himself into trouble, and well, here he knew that just wouldnt be a good idea to let him do so. After their table had been chosen he set his own stuff down and sat on the other side of Joesph, giving a slight wave to the female as he noted the table and his best smile as well before relaxing once more. That wolf setting its head right on his thigh and looking up at him, bumming for more food none the less.
"Yes.. maybe you can help me with telling him about the school as well when your done?"

Talbot hugged softly and said to the door, "You'll be sorry!"
Turning on her heel, she glared around the room and came face to face with a charming smile and a dark suit.
"Old people can be pretty rough, huh? Why don't you come and sit with me and my friend and you can tell us what happened?"
She stared at him for a long moment before her gray eyes glimmer with recognition, she couldn't believe he was eating this slop but then again she made her own food from scratch everyday so it was never an issue for her. She nodded and joined the two boys- why not? At least she had found a few more friendlies among the agressives.
She set the crystal clear bag of multicolored candy on the table and pulled a sandwhich from a side pouch- the food no where near resembling the food the boys had to endure- though they most likely couldn't tell the difference between a pinch too much salt or the overuse of paprika- they most likely wouldn't have even cared. Such a terrible insult, she bobbed her head to the other blonde's words and said to both, "I'm Talbot Linsorim."

Grabbing the chicken which he had gotten that wolf got exactly what he had wanted, the tray was shifted and set down with the chicken on it, while the small container of potatoes sat on the table still. Giving a yawn he poked into one of them and took a nice bite, wincing a bit at the taste of them, they tasted better to him either just plain cooked or with a little bit of butter.. but he didnt really like salt on them..
"Bleck.."
He pushed the potatoes away and grabbed his bottle of water instead taking a long drink of it and looking up to the female which had taken her seat, that got a smile on him and then his hand waved slightly.
"Names Scith. Nice to meet ya."

Taking his seat next to talbot, Joseph took a swig from his bottle of cock. Bowing his head in her direction, he smiled, "It's a pleasure. My name is Joseph Midnight." he said politely. Starting to dig into his food the gunmage barely noticed the taste. Growing up with survival training out in the desert he learned to eat anything he could to survive. Plus, compared to some of the things he had eaten in the past for such a means...this was a delacacy. Besides...he was so hungry. "So, Talbot and Scith? Does everybody have such exotic names up here, or am I just forgetting what sort of school I'm at?" he asked as an ice breaker.

"Nah.. my parents just decided to do something cruel before they left naming me that."
He chuckled slightly and took another drink of his water before setting it back on the table, screwing the lid on nice and tight. That wolf sitting at his side was tearing into the chicken, he didnt care about the taste of which regardless, he just loved to eat.. of course.. considering what he did most of the day he shouldnt have been. Laying around and occaisionally moving around to cause trouble.

Talbot laughed, wind chimes in the spring, "My name is that of my grandmother's I bear it proudly."
She held out her sandwhich to Scith and smiled, "Here go ahead and take this- it's not school food so it's alright."
She set the sandwhich infront of Scith, saying no was not an option and she popped a piece of candy from the bag she had set on the table into her mouth- these were just as filling and full of sugar. She always ate one infront of those she was around because she made more candy than anything and trust her it was a good thing.
She watches Joseph eat the school food and shook her head, "Either you grew up in hard times or you have no tatsebuds. Which is it, Blackie?"

Joseph chuckled at the 'blacki comment' almost as much as the 'hard times' comment. Swalling down a a piece of roast beef he gave her a nod. "Grew up in Navada at the Gunmage school. One of the things we learn is to survive in the desert, and trust me, when you're out there you loose any finickyness you had real quick." he replied recalling some rough times out in the heat. He cocked his head as he regarded the girl, "So, Talbot, you gonna share what you did in there that made those old ladies so mad?" he asked taking a sip from his coke.
