First Day Confusion

[Jayne]

Blue hair, pale skin - a new girl roamed through the halls of the so called Arcane Academy, a dull look on her face and a bored look in her eyes while she passed by a couple of classrooms. Her schedule was held in her left hand, while a notebook occupied the other, and a mechanical pencil tucked neatly behind her ear, careful not to get her hair stuck on the hook. She was just walking around, getting used to her surroundings, taking in the new environment, getting a better feel of what this school would be like. And so far, from what she was seeing, it alright. There weren't many children in the halls though, thus, the reason why she was still stuck out here - no one was around to help her get to her next class. And the best thing is, it was the end of the day, and she had approximately ten to twenty minutes to find her class, but after re-thinking it, she pretty much found that to be pointless. What's the use going to class if you're only going to end up leaving ten minutes later? Though, it would be nice to know where her classroom is so she won't be late the next time she has this class.

So, basically, she's been circling the same area for the...seventh time? Eh, she lost count after a while. So, instead of taking the same turn, she went the opposite way, looking for her classroom - hopefully - before class let out...and then...

The lights went out in the area she was in.

Giving a small sigh, she pulled off one of the leather gloves and pointed up, sparking up the light bulb on the ceiling so she wouldn't be walking around in the dark the whole time. Her skin slowly began to glow, a side effect she had when using her ability to control lightning, and once the hall was lit up again, she pulled the tight, black leather glove back onto her hand, and the glow slowly began to fade away. Shaking her head slightly, she proceeded down the hall, looking at the numbers next to the doors to see if it would match the class she had. But it didn't.

Hearing a door open, she turned around to look, only to find students swarming out of their classrooms, and Jayne stood off to the side. She watched as other classroom doors opened and students around her age made their exit, and she gave a quiet sigh.

Mission failed.

[Darian Dumonte]

Among those students coming out of class was Darian Dumonte a Gun Mage and recently engaged to Shea Donnovan. Both had gone to Earth to handle the recent development that they between each other. The meant plenty of social occasions to attend, public announcements, planning for the wedding, handling affairs yeah you get the idea it was just a lot of work that required an extended leave. A large revolver was in a holster at his side, Darian’s only needed weapon really. A messenger bag bounced against his side having his notebook and textbook for that class and nothing more. The sound of his boots hitting the hall floor reached his ears over the talking of the other students. Striding beside Darian was a large black snow leopard and that was part of the reason why he stood out. Not many students were familiar with the large feline that strode beside Darian on equal footing since the Academy had a huge influx of new students since he had left with Shea back to Europe for awhile.

There are so many new abilities out now that it is rather mind-boggling on how people are able to deal with that and just accept it. You think that things would be simpler, then it is but, it is as diverse as the world below us.

I think you are simply thinking on this a bit too broadly. There are the base magics and then it diversifies from there. You slow branch out more and more as people gain individual ideas and creativity.

Since when did you become a scholar?

Hush.

Darian chuckled at the cat’s single-worded response. It was always a habit between the two to constantly banter with one another much like Shea and Bella did. A beautiful engagement ring sparkled in the light of the hallway the ring being on Darian's left ring finger; Darian noticed someone who had that look of being lost. A young woman no less but, Darian merely blinked for a moment and looked at Orchid who gave him a feline-equivalence of a shrug. Shifting the strap of his bag Darian walked towards the young woman with Orchid padding along beside him. He wanted to be careful not to surprise her or anything so he wasn’t trying to be quiet or anything like that as he noticed the way she seemed to stand off to the side. She was looking for a room in specific probably but, couldn’t find it before the bell rang to let out students. Judging from the way that she looked kind of out of place she was one of the newest students that have joined the academy.

“You look a bit lost,” Darian said with a smile his voice elegant and smooth a well-trained one with the hint of a French accent to it. His accent was noticeable but, it was slowly wearing down as he spent more time at the Academy.

“Is there anything we can do to help?” Indicating himself and Orchid the large feline that was beside him who merely glanced at her with intelligent eyes but, said nothing.
