Clay's screech probably wakes up half the dorm. That's rather unusual for him - it's not like he's never had a nightmare before, or even a really bad one, but when you grow up with a bunch of Pokémon, someone waking up grumpy is generally cause for a fight, so waking up screaming is new.
Fan gives him a light punch in the ribs for waking her up - he fell asleep curled up with her, as he has frequently since leaving the constant warmth of the troop. Despite that, she honestly looks rather concerned, but he reassures her that it's nothing. He apologizes rather sheepishly to the others in the dorm and pulls his sheet around himself as he contemplates what he saw. He's never had a dream quite that clear or vivid before... or with quite so many disturbing details he's sure he's never seen. Plenty of Pokémon have black eyes, but that dead soldier's were very different.
Did that whole thing mean something? Maybe he'd talk to the others about it...

Tiki tosses and turns in her bed when she suddenly jolts forward out of her sleep with a scream. She looks around frantically as she spots Star and Justice on the floor, who had gotten free, and were playing around. They both stare at her as sweat rolls down her forehead. "Huh!?...Oh...h-hey..." She wipes her face with her blankets, and motions for her partners to come up onto the bed. Star leaps up easily while Justice takes a few tries before she is able to pull herself up. They both come up to her lap, and she hugs them both. "Sorry. Didn't mean to spook you girls. Been a while since I had a bad dream, huh Star?" She holds them both close, and frowns. That dream had actually been scarier than she ever had, but her pokemon made her feel better. Her really peaceful sleep had seem to have taken a turn for the worse. She had hoped to feel rested, and upbeat for today, but now she felt sore and creeped out. She shook her head trying to forget about it, and move on with the day. She groggily got out of bed to get ready for the day.

Mitis looks at Sano sleepily, having been roused from her sleep by his cry. She pads over and cuddles against him. They'd been together long enough so they didn't have to speak to communicate. He makes a note of what he saw and plans to ask Divini about it in the morning.

When Divini roused, she was on the floor again, tangled in her blankets and covered in feathers. She tiredly looked across the room at the pieces of her pillow, accidentally blown to tatters. "Great... first night and I'll have to explain why I need a new pillow..." Divini was not a stranger to nightmares, and the stress often led to the wanton destruction of her room. She lifted herself back into bed. Viiral continued to sleep soundly on the ceiling. That felt more than just a bad dream however... more of a warning. Maybe it was another psychic in the dorm messing with her, but that felt unlikely. Now that she was up she might as well head for breakfast. She swiped her hand and pushed the ripped pillow and its contents into a corner of the room as she got ready to leave.

As the dormitories are not separated into individual rooms, everyone gets a nasty glare or two from someone that they woke up. It seems to be early morning (you have no idea how you know, as there are no windows in the dormitories).
Tiki
A concerned-looking Genevieve is spotted approaching you.
"Are you alright, Miss? I heard you screaming in your sleep."
Divini
As you look around to see how many of the other students you roused by accident, you see that one of them is looking at you strangely. They appear to be concerned about your screaming, but when she catches you looking at her, she quickly hides beneath her covers again. Strangely enough, she appears to have dark purple hair and somewhat pale skin, like she doesn't get out much.
Sano
You hear a sleepily mumbled comment from another student saying something along the lines of 'you scream like a girl', followed by light snickering.
Clay
When you awaken, you notice that there are not a lot of students left in the dormitory. While it's plausible that everyone woke up early, based on yesterday's experience here, you get the feeling that you may have been deliberately left out of something. Quickly hopping out of bed, you rush into the main hall just in time to see a gathering of students beginning to disperse as the 'Fire Lady' finishes giving them some sort of instructions. Instead of offering these instructions to you, she merely smiles wickedly and walks off someplace.
Everyone
For those who want it, there is the smell of breakfast coming from the main Guild Hall. Those who follow the smell find their way into a large dining hall, where there is plenty of food of all varieties sitting out, just waiting to be eaten.

"What, none of you have ever psyched the bed before?" Divini says to the girl now hiding under the covers. She had completely forgotten there where people in here with her; she never has shared a room in her life. She was too tired to feel embarrassed.

Tiki smiles at Genevieve, but winces at the thought of disturbing the sleeping branch. "O-Oh! Y-Yeah I'm all good Miss Genevieve. Just a little nightmare. Probably from being in a new place with others. Sorry if I disturbed anybody!" Tiki lets out a weak laugh, and starts out to the guild hall for breakfast.

Well, heck. That grin is almost certainly bad news. Clay has a sinking feeling today is going to be interesting, in that special sense Master Nob liked to use where interesting meant "we're all going to die". The fact that nobody bothered to wake him up isn't really helping that feeling, either.
As the other students start to disperse, he trots up beside somebody he thinks looks like they might be helpful. "Hey, what'd I miss?"
Now if only the siren smell of breakfast wasn't calling him from the main hall... that's going to be awfully distracting as he tries to get an answer about what's going on.

Sano, already disenchanted with his Guild, decides to follow the now-familiar scent of pastries toward the main hall. He stops at the hall where he had the encounter with the Meganium, but decides getting breakfast is in his better interests. He quietly storms to the dining hall before picking up a donut and bites into it angrily. At least he has Clay and Tiki as friends, and Divini seemed less like an asshole with each conversation. He glances around the hall, searching for them.

Tiki walks around hall looking droopy with a sandwich in her mouth. She rubs some sleepiness from her eyes, when she spots Sano looking around. She gasps, and takes off at full sprint towards him. "SSSHHHAAAANNNNOOOOO!!" Tiki then tackles him, and gives him a big hug, and tries to talk through her sandwich, "Oh, Shano! I've mished you guysh shoooo mush!!"

The main dining hall is packed with people from all of the Elemental Branches. There is food aplenty, coming in just about any form you could think of, and then some. The noise level is approximately that of a dull roar; about what you'd expect from a couple hundred people all sitting and chatting in the same room. After some time, the group of 4 that signed up together yesterday manage to find one another. Or, in this case, Tiki finds Sano first and tackle-hugs him, followed by Clay entering. Divini may or may not be found, depending on how hard one looks.

Though she up earlier than normal due to her vivid dream, Divini end up wandering the halls lazily, being moderately distracted by the different facilities of the guild. She arrives to the dining hall for a late breakfast consisting primarily of toast. She is not particularly looking for the group at first, focused more on breakfast. Tiki's loud excitable voice is not difficult to miss however and will likely wander towards the group for some familiarity after she nearly finishes eating.

Tiki quickly spots her favorite floating person, and dragging Sano along, she crashes into the back of Divini. "DIVINI!!! I missed you too!!!" She pull both her friends in tight, and buries her face in Divini's messy hair.

Divini cringes at the sudden physical contact, attempting to pry herself from the hodgepodge death hug, but giving up and just falling kind of limp. Struggling was a pain. "Missed us? A likely story, you left us behind remember?" She turns to her fellow hug prisoner. "Good morning, Sano."

"Morning, Divini." He says, addressing the psychic. "How was the first night at the Guild?" He asks the group, the memory of the morning still smoldering in his mind.

Clay's looking a little better than when he last saw Divini and Sano, thanks to a night of sleep. Though he does look rather like he doesn't know what a comb is... but that's normal.
Either way, he hops in a little late and heads toward the knot of people being hugged by Tiki, secure in the knowledge that she only has two arms. "Hey guys, you didn't eat all the food without me, did you?"

Tiki pulls the other two along, and gives Clay less of a hug, and more of an aggressive lean due to occupied arms. "Heeeyyyy Cllllaaayyyy! Yay! we're all together again!" Tiki begins to talk a mile a minute about the Normal Branch, her rally speech and performances, and the night of partying. "It was all sooo much fun! I think we're all so much closer at the Normal Branch! I hope you guys had tons of fun too!" She sits down with everyone, and continues chatting nonstop. "Sooo that was my day, and it couldn't have gone any better!...Except for maybe that nightmare this morning, but umm...anyways. How about you guys?"

Sano nods, half-listening to the girl. At least she's friendly. When Tiki mentions a nightmare, however, Sano becomes intrigued. "You had a nightmare last night? That's odd, I did too. It wouldn't normally be notable, but it was... Particularly vivid." He shakes his head, attempting to dislodge the images. "What did you dream about?"

Tiki quiets down, and looks rather uncomfortable. "Oh...That....ummm....It was rather...gruesome. Like people, and pokemon...all...." She looks down, and picks at her food. She clearly is disturbed by what she saw.

"Did it have knights, loads of dead people, and an exploded pillow to greet you when you awoke?" Divini causally threw out, not expecting anything of it. New environments often caused stress, so nightmares probably weren't that strange. Well, at least having them, however...
