The morning greets you all with a bit of grace. A crisp gentle breeze may kiss your face, as though the earth itself is eager to welcome you into another day. Except for Uri. He basically wakes up to fox butt. Looking out your windows, you'll find the majesty of Windriders is especially . . . majestic . . . as the morning sun leaves warm orange highlights on every shingle. But you don't have much time to bask in comforting comforts, for you each recall that your book of rules was quite clear that breakfast would be served at sunrise, and though you may not be rocket surgeons, that sun sure looks risen.
As you make your ways to the rec hall, you'll find that you're going to have to spend a bit of time in line. The hall is filled to the brim with unique characters, each seeming to have their own interesting backstory and reasons to have attended the academy. Alfa can be seen at a series of tables which sit on a stage, raising them above the other tables. It should be obvious that these are faculty tables. He looks incredibly out of place there, surrounded by significantly taller, and more mature looking faculty. Though he does seem quite comfortable talking with them. He's even smiling a bit. Headmaster Fionn doesn't seem to be in the hall.
From here you all have the option of deciding what to do until your class starts. Do you find your other companions to eat with? Perhaps look for new ones? Raid the faculty tables and sit with Alfa? Or perhaps eat alone and simply prepare for your first day of lessons?

After a day of testing the Beedrill, Sorin was eager to socialize with things that actually talked like normal people, Miikyu certainly talked, but he certainly wasn't the best conversationalist. Alfa was though, were was their homeroom teacher anyways? Sorin rubbed his eyes blearily while he looked around for his target. The minute his eyes landed on his prey he zoomed on over to him, intent on bugging him with all the questions he had. "Alfa! There you are! Good morning!" Sorin might want to pay attention to his surroundings, but with it being so early in the morning, he could only focus on one thing at a time this early. He was used to late circus nights and waking up in the middle of the day, though admittedly since he had started traveling his schedule had been getting better. Disregarding that, Sorin immediately latched onto his homeroom teacher, crushing him into a hug. Grapple Attack: 18
Athletics: 20

Alfa attempted to fight off the gleeful human, but he was easily outmatched. Sorin's antics have raised a number of eyebrows from Alfa's particular table. There were 5 other faculty there, to old, stuffy looking people, one gruff younger wood elf who seemed to find the situation hilarious, a large bear kin who was too focused on his meal to really pay you any mind, and a beautiful High elf, who was none to pleased with the situation
"Alfa, why is there a young boy hanging on you during your meal?"
Alfa is quite flustered, but can't manage any words with Sorin's deathgrip

Sorin blinks his tired eyes wearily, he swears he just heard someone talk. "Who'sat?" He was slowly gaining the clarity needed to realize there were people all around. His eyes widened in surprise, he swore he just saw Alfa over here. He blushed bright red upon realizing a couple were looking at him, and to think, he hadn't even combed his hair! His grip tightened around Alfa in an attempt to use him as a barrier as he buried his face into the fox-deer's clothes. Sorin Secures The Grapple!

Ms pink chuckles to herself as she swallows down whole, spoiled lemons
"Perhaps they'll tie him up, and hang him above a lake for monsters to eat. Or maybe they'll put sugar water under his fingernails and shove them into an anthill. Or maybe they'll put a funnel in his mouth and force him to eat a whole hive of wasps~"
Ms Pink starts drooling at her own concepts for torture
Meanwhile, Sorin's behavior isn't being received well by the more sophisticated table members. The High Elf in particular is not pleased with the fact that Sorin's chokehold is keeping Alfa from speaking. A ball of energy starts forming in his hand. His glare is menacing. It would seem the elf isn't messing around here
"Human boy. Release Alfa, now, or I'll consider this assault."

Sorin starts to sniffle as he let's Alfa go. He just wanted a hug! It's true then, High elves are big meanies! He hid behind Alfa like he was the only thing standing between Sorin and the greatest evil in the world, which in Sorin's opinion, he was. "I just like hugging my friends, is that so bad?" He whispered it to himself, as tears started falling down his cheeks.

Secus rose early the following morning, as was his habit, so as to meditate as the sun rose. He hadn't slept much anyway though, as every time he began to drift off, the softness of the mattress made him feel like he was being swallowed. This lack of sleep led to a little more dozing than meditating, and therefore, he was nearly late for the scheduled breakfast time.
When he arrives down in the dining hall, he sees Sorin up on a stage, once again strangling Alfa, apparently to the dissatisfaction of some important looking people. He mostly shrugs off the incident, and proceeds to acquire some food: mostly just fruit, but also a hot brown beverage recommended to him by one of the serving women because, "You look about two thirds dead." Secus hoped she was referring to his skin tone, and not his drowsiness, which he is attempting to hide.
Food in hand, he makes his way to a secluded part of the hall, where he can eat in peace, and Reishi can gnaw on a table or something.

"I have excellent hearing human"
The elf says before allowing his energy to dissipate. Alfa takes a few breaths before speaking
"I-i-it's ok Sumvin! He's a student of mine, and he's new! He doesn't know the rules yet!"
The elf (apparently named sumvin) cocks a brow as he observes the circus boy
"I see. So ignorance supersedes manners. I'll be sure to make a note of that. You, boy. I'll be more lenient given the circumstances,but let this be a learning opportunity for you. These seats are for faculty, and faculty alone. It is an opportunity to speak amongst ourselves without having to worry about the lot of you. So be sure to consider this area off limits in the future"

Now Sorin was just straight up confused, he hadn't sit down at all when he was over here. "B-but...I didn't sit down here? I can get you getting angry at me if I did, but...I didn't?" He was still hiding behind Alfa, though the sniffling had stopped by this point as he looked over Alfa's shoulder at the meanie in question.

Sumvin scowls a bit more
"Sitting or standing. It doesn't matter. The stage is off limits to students. Alfa, are all your students this dull?"

"That's not what you said though, you said and I quote 'These seats are for faculty, and faculty alone'" Sorin tried to imitate his voice, but admittedly it came out a little high pitched, Sorin wasn't good at impressions, give him a break!
"What you need to say to get your intended point across, would be that the stage is off limits, if you explain things wrong, of course I'm going to come to the wrong conclusion" Sorin had finally felt like this Sumvin wasn't actually a bad guy anymore, so he stopped hiding behind Alfa. "As for if all of us are this dull, I was raised in a circus, normal standards don't apply, But thanks for telling me the rules, Mr. Sumvin, even if you didn't say them right!" and then Sorin scurried off, he was in a restricted area apparently, and that looked to be Secus all alone way over there. Not on Sorin's watch he wasn't.

Secus winces internally as Sorin begins obviously walking toward him. He had hoped to remain separated from the "dull"ness of Alfa's students. Externally however, he remains stoic, giving Sorin a polite nod as he approaches. Not emo; tranquil. The bitter drink he was given however seems to have affected him slightly, as he is no longer tired, and is having some difficult remaining motionless as propriety demands.
"I see your first interaction with a professor went well," he says calmly once Sorin is well within polite speaking distance.

Sorin was the touchy feely sort, so the moment Secus saw him he should've know what was coming. "Good morning, Secus!" was all the warning that was given before the hug was to be initiated. At least that's what normally would have happened normally. Grapple: 1 Athletics 13 Instead of the norms, Sorin flew right past Secus in a failure of a glomp, falling onto the cold, hard ground beside Secus' feet.

Secus watched in amazement as Sorin dove through the air, and then slid across the stone floor near his table. Humans are strange, he thinks to himself as he attempts to think of a response to the acrobat's greeting. Eventually, he settles on, "Yes...good morning."

Sorin jumped up from the ground, patting himself off from the dust he had picked up skidding across the floor. "Yeah, I had a run in with Sumvin? I think that's his name, he got mad at me for not sitting down?" Yes, he's acting like nothing happened, mostly because this was a completely normal occurrence back home, though he did have a look of confusion on his face, that teacher was something else.

Uri didn't much notice fox-butt last night, since he conked out almost immediately upon his head hitting the pillow, but as soon as he begins to wake up he scrunches his face at the tickling sensasion in his nose- uh oh. "Aa- CHOOOOO" Uri sneezes something fearsome, throwing the startled fox off the bed. Now Princess knows what sneeze-up-the-butt feels like. Maybe she'll think twice about where she puts those tails next time. And as soon as Uri, now very awake, sees a confused, drowsy, disheveled Princess in a heap on the floor, he busts out laughing. "Awwww I'm sorry! Good morning!" He says inbetween gasps for air. She's so adorable and confused he can't help it. Then he notices the sunrise. "Oh shoot! Did we sleep in?" Near-suffocation by ninetales backside must have caused him to miss his alarm. He throws on some shoes and runs out the door, quickly returning Princess and fetching Moxie from the bed. Hugging the cherubi to his chest, he rushes down to the rec room to find it completely packed! There's so many colorful characters here. So many different species. "Do you think...we could find more fae here?" Uri asks Moxie, now inspecting every passing humanoid. Some of them start to look at him weird, but he hardly notices. He's too enthralled by his curiosity.

As soon as Uri knocked the princess off, she was all prepared to give him a huge drawn out lecture, but he left her in the dust as he ran out of the room. Uri has little trouble discovering Fae in the room. While there were too many to make a detailed list of, there were 3 students and one teacher of serious intrigue
1) A teenage looking girl, skin covered in leaves and tree bark. She stands in line with tiny mushrooms growing around wherever she stands
2) The second is an older male, maybe physically 20 (human age for reference) who's extremely handsome. He has some petite butterfly wings, and shimmers lightly in pinks and purples. He sits at a table with a number of other attractive people. Potentially a cool kids table?
3) There was a significantly younger looking boy, but he was pale, blue, and covered in ice. He left a light mist wherever he was. He sits alone with a dark weasel like monster eating in his lap
Faculty) Sitting on the stage, at a table with a dark elf, demon, and human, is a horned cowled creature. She's intimidating and vague, but her horns are made of wood and host cherry blossoms, so do with that what you will

Uri is amazed!!! Now, there's just the question of who to talk to. He steers clear of the faculty tables, since that's just common sense. And, well, not butterfly-boy because he's too...pretty. Social butterflies have never been Uri's cup of tea, he prefers the more honest, quirkier types. Which leaves mushroom girl and the boy with the little weasel thing, which is really cute so Uri finds himself walking over to the ice-boy. "Um, hi. I'm Uri. I'm a fae. Are you also...a fae?" Uri asks awkwardly. He tries hard not to gawk, so he doesn't creep the boy out. Somehow, a dubious amount of his usual charisma still seems to be functioning.
