Bedwyr runs his right thumb across his nose then replies "Rather be rat faced then pink skinned. Rats at least are fastidious creatures that are far more clever then people give credit to. " Bedwyr takes a look around before popping off a question "So. Who are the black tags?"

"Oh who remembers? More importantly, let's talk about you. I hear you didn't even bother trying to get a recommendation to Windrider's, but rather recommended yourself. It's so adorable how someone so small and stupid can be so proud"
The creature puts down the tray of glasses and brings over a cup of tea to Bedwyr
"Would you like something to drink? It's good. It will flush your colon RIIIIIIGHT out, removing all those horrid toxins in your system. Admittedly, you'll also suffer 4 hours of pure agony as you scream on the toilet for your god to kill you..."
chansey drools at the idea of screaming in agony
"But you'll be so much healthier after it all!"

Bedwyr sniffs at the cup "Burdock, dandylion root, peppermint, red clover... you really would have me shit a straight solid brick wouldn't you, assuming of course the dehydration wouldn't take me first."he then fixes the pink monster in front of him a rather sharp look "Pride, Ms. Pink is feeling a heart restart pumping in your hands after a difficult surgery. Pride is knowing that your skills can change the tide." Bedwyr puts one of his sharp fingers on the monsters chest as he gives this rant "And Pride is once again denying the reaper another soul for his docket that day. So don't speak as thou my hard earned skills are nothing to take Pride in."

The Pink monster blushes with glee and leans in, pulling the goblin's cheeks from side to side
"OOooooooooo~ You are just TOO CUTE! I must add you to my collection! I now declare us companions! I'll be sure to raise you to be big and strong! Don't you worry about that!"
With that, both the pink monster and Bedwyr appear in the summoning chambers, the chansey gleefully tugging at its cheeks

"Woah, that one's big." Fae mutters, in awe of Bedwyr's new companion. It looks like a big, pink plum, carrying an egg. Weird.
He looks down at Moxi, who is currently nestled in his arms. Her smooth, ruby skin gleans in the light. Catching a whiff of her sweet scent, Fae's stomach rumbles. I need fooood, he thinks, looking around. Fae isn't too keen on staying in this uncomfortably cold room anyway, so he calls out, "Hey, uh, Alfa? Since we've all got companions now, is there maybe a place we can get some breakfast?"

Sorin was off in his own little world as he played with Mimikyu, He just couldn't take his eyes off his new partner. He was so impressed by how squishy the mouse was. He loved his new companion so much, he even placed a peck on top of it's head, before tucking him under his arm like he was holding a teddy bear.
He finally decided to actually look around the room now, noticing all the new faces among the crowd, it was amazing that they all had such adorable partners, even the giant mushroom, but none of them compared to Mimikyutie! They held no candle to Sorin's partner!
Then he heard Fae say he wanted to get breakfast, but weren't they forgetting something? "What about introducing our partners? It's rude not to introduce them to all of us!"

""Ah! I just realized, I didn't even ask if you've even eaten today! I'm so sorry! Of course, we have a cafeteria with food to accommodate to any diets!"Alfa rushes out of the room expecting the lot of you to follow. You newfound companions seem to be taking their time getting accustomed to their new environment. Understandable after being dragged from another dimension After a decent amount of running, you find yourselves in a large hall with long wooden tables, and a kitchen stocked with an absurd variety of food

It takes time before Secus has fully recovered from his ordeal, but by the end of Bedwyr's vision quest, he is back on his feet, nothing more than a slight numbness deep in his bones remaining from earlier. He stands next to Parasect, the tip of the monster's mushroom cap peaking just higher than his navel. With the strange force that had previously drawn him to the orb for some reason gone, Secus is able to scan the room and attempt to see how all this magic works. Occult Ed.: 13 Upon finishing his investigation, he is quite content to follow the Fluff Kin out of the room to the dining hall, Parasect's claws clicking on the stone floors as they go.

Secus can tell that this orb is emanating some sort of intelligence. It's not just pairing people with a random monster, it seems to be pairing them with something that can provide some sort of perspective that the person may be lacking. It's intent seems to be based upon growth as opposed to compatibility

For their time in the hall, Secus endeavored to fill in his new companion on their circumstances, while also eating some of the delicious bread provided by the college. It was obvious that the creature was aware of what Secus was, but as to the specifics, he imagined living a literal world apart would have made knowing everything difficult. "...and so I have come to Windrider's College to gain the power I need, as I was instructed." The story had been told quietly, but not enough to prevent anyone from overhearing, should they have an interest. Secus didn't particularly mind if people knew what had happened to him. "I do not know yet what I will do with the power...that is what I hope you can help me with. And preventing more events like the one earlier."

Parasect nibbles on the wood on the table the entire time Secus regails him with his story. It seems to be content with its state of being, moving only at the pace it chooses.
"What to do, what not to do, for either to be true there must be a goal. A need. Something that must be obtained or achieved. What matters to you in life little elf?"
Parasect continues munching on the table
"This mahogany is amazing"

His companion's question was not one he could answer, at least not yet. Secus ruminated over the quandary for a minute or two, before getting up from his place beside Parasect, and moving to speak to Alfa, "So," he began, standing over the animal boy, "we are here for a reason, are we not? Could you now enlighten us as to what we will be doing in this college?"

Meanwhile, Fae rushes after Foxy into the gorgeous, well-stocked kitchen. His feet slap against the shiny tile floor as he moves to the counter, placing cherubi upon it, and then he dives into some of the fruit sitting there. The variety is amazing, and everything is so ripe and juicy! After a few seconds of sweet ecstasy, Fae stops to wipe the dribble from his mouth- and realizes that the cherubi has been staring at him. He feels strangely embarrassed, glancing nervously from the anthropomorphic cherry to the actual fruit in his hand. "Ummm..." he stammers, "is, uh, is this offensive to you at all?"

Secus startled Fae mid bite into a sweet roll. After he stopped choking on the food, he looks over to him and responds
"Yes -cough-Um, you'll all be placed into a set of classes that should teach you the bare essentials of monster training, maintenance, and of course whatever elective courses you choose. Those will be meet once a week, and after that you'll be spending the rest of your week in your teams. These are groups of 4-6 people who learn by doing. You'll be sent out into the world with a leader to perform tasks to defend people in need, and gain first hand experience. That's the basics of it anyways. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Cherubi stares nonchalantly at Fae nibbling on a thing that seems to look just like her. Rather than being offended, she just smiles to the shiny boy
"Why would I be offended? That fruit is hardly alive or anything. You have no need to worry"
She turns and walks down the table a bit
"And I'll of course keep this in mind next time we come across a human corpse~"

"When do these classes begin?" Secus asks the jumpy guide, wishing to begin his work with Parasect promptly. He was not used to downtime, his entire life up to this point being spent training or, recently, traveling. He also hoped that by accepting these missions, he would be able to find the goal his companion claimed he required.

Secus's enthusiasm is a bit intimidating for Alfa as he clutches to his chair
"Uh . . . I-i was supposed to help you get situated in your rooms, and lessons weren't supposed to start until tomorrow . . . but maybe we can find something . . . fun for you to do"

When people started walking off and ignored what Sorin said, he slumped a little, his grip on Mimikyu slacking a little as he trailed off after the majority of the group. He really wasn't used to being ignored, so now he was feeling a bit shy. he watched as Alfa get assaulted by the ...Demon? Wood Elf? He looked like both if Sorin was to be honest, regardless he slid up on the other side of Alfa, listening in to what the two were talking about.
"Something fun would be nice, I'd like to get to know everyone better, especially you, Mimikyu!" Sorin smiled down at the little mouse, he was just so adorable. After oggling his little friend in hopes of a response, he would turn to see if anyone else had heard him.

"Oh no," Secus says, receding back into the mannerisms that had been drilled into him by his parents, "I could not possibly accept special consideration. If it is happening anyway however..." his words trail off, before he says, "Anyway, I would like to introduce all of you to my companion, Parasect," gesturing to the monster he had summoned, which walks up beside him.

Parasect still has a chunk of table in its mouth as it arrives.
"That's . . . going to be difficult to replace . . ."
The mimikyu has been struggling ever since Sorin first got a grip on it
"Grgrwwijjqtqew!!RAagahweg! GIRL! ENOUGH OF YOUR PERVERSIONS! I REQUIRE ENTERTAINMENT AND RIGOUROUS EXERCISE!! AND I DIDNT SPELL RIGOROUS WRONG!!"

Fae listens to the little cherry-beast speak, amused. Her voice is so calming! And she's logical, too; as she explains, Fae imagines that fruit, to her, would probably be like what gingerbread men are to Fae: non-sentient, similarly-shaped food. But then, she mentions human corpses and it gets weird...wait a sec, they're not going to encounter corpses anytime soon, right!? Hopefully not, he thinks, frowning. Then he has an even darker thought: Hopefully we're not among the corpses...
He blinks, pushing the idea from his head, and overhears Sorin and Secus talking to Alfa. They're introducing their companions (is that mushroom-crab eating the table??). Oh yeah, didn't Sorin suggest that a minute ago? The memory was a bit fuzzy, since at the time Fae had been sprinting toward food. He looks over at cherubi. Seeing her standing on those adorable little legs, Fae realizes that he doesn't want to just call her "cherubi." From personal experience, he knows that being called by your species' name is almost demeaning, as if you're just a generic "Fae," the same as the rest of them. No, Fae wants cherubi to feel special. In fact, Fae realizes, this could be an opportunity for two introductions. He gets an idea.
"Madam," Fae turns to cherubi, speaking up for the others to hear, "I'd like to propose an idea: how about I give you a nickname, you give me a nickname. Because I can't just call you 'cherubi,' and I can't go by Fae anymore, or else it'll be confusing if we meet others like us. Plus, it'll be fun." He smiles, "So, if you'll have it, I already thought of a nickname for you: Moxi. What do you think?" He glances at the others. Now that they're watching, he can feel himself start sweating, just a little. The cherubi could totally embarrass him in front of his new friends right now...
