Acrobatics:14 Sorin rolls to dodge the impending doom laser, he wasn't having anything to do with magic doom lasers, nope. "You don't attack dead bodies!" He sprung to his feet, dramatically pointing at Uri like he was some fiend...no wait, he was a fae... still, that was rude.

"Oh he's risen from the dead. hooray."
After the half inspired cheer, north returned to his sno cone only to find it was all gone. tears swelled up almost immediately. Kilug ignored the band of dolts and tried to make small talk with Secus
"You seem pretty quiet for an elf"

"I expect that also has to do with my training," Secus says to Kilug, placing his fork alongside his plate as he speaks. "Modesty and calm were very important to my parents." He has chosen to not at all acknowledge whatever is going on with Sorin. "Are other elves not this way?"

Kilug continues his dialogue without color because god is on mobile right now.
"High elves tend to be proud and pretentious. Wood ones are animated, or just generally loud. Dark elves are constantly trying to show off just how dark they are. Obviously these all come with exceptions, but stereotypes exist for a reason you know? So you didn't grow up around too many other elves?"

"I see," Secus said, though he didn't think he quite had the whole picture. "And yes, I spent most of my life without the presence of anyone outside of my family. I was blessed with power by an angel, you see, and the other member of my parent's tribe saw that as an affront to our race. They all left the village where I grew up while I was still an infant."

Before Kilug could continue the conversation, a gentle series of bells went off, alerting the students that their first classes have begun. The lot of you are guided by newfound companions and leaders to your first class. Basics of Monster Anatomy. A core class that all freshlings must take. You all would recognize two people in this class. North, who has opted out of sitting in his normal seat, and instead is sitting in Uri's lap once more. The other lightly steps in the room once you've all been collected. He sends a chill down the spines of any who aren't accustomed to intimidating people, and to Sorin in particular, he gives a rather serious glare. Sumvin, the High elf teacher from before, has entered to lead the class.
"Good morning to you all. For those who are new to this class, I am Sumvin Fraelhert, and I shall be your instructor until I deem you worthy of progressing to the next class. For those of you that are sick of me saying that every morning, I want to remind you that you are all insignificant to me, and I can easily dispose of a body to the demon realm."
From there, Sumvin went about discussing the various types of monsters out there, and how they emulate qualities in animals of this world. Please roll me a focus roll to see how well you each pay attention in class, and if you have any antics or questions to ask during the class, this is the time to do them.

Sorin tries to pay attention, he really does, but he's always been better with showing rather than telling. He tries to take notes, but instead ends up doodling pictures of Mimikyu, Parisa, and even Percival! He then goes on to drawing them all dancing in the moonlight in the bee den in that other world.

Secus attempts to focus on this new class the same way he would have on those his parents taught him as a child. Unfortunately, it seemed a different aptitude was required for academics than had been needed in his training. He found remembering all the terms and functions rather challenging.
Focus: ...4

Luckily for Secus, Sorin's childish doodles have gravitated all of Sumvin's attention. Sorin wouldn't notice the abrupt stop in the lecture, or Sumvin lording over him with an unamused grimace upon his face, but he would surely notice the mushroom that suddenly appeared on his book, spitting a foul odor into his face.
"It seems you're hellbent on making a bad first impression mister Astra. I don't mind having the disdain of my students, but at least pay me some respect in the classroom. Or you could just go home, if this school doesn't interest you."

Sorin didn't even bother looking up, he already knew this one hated him, no point in trying to turn sour milk whole. "I learn through experience, not study, I don't have the attention span for lectures so I'm trying to split my attention so I can take at least some information in. Sorry if it seems disrespectful, but I know how I learn things, and it requires stupid effort on my part. I can switch to trying to draw the types your covering if you want?"
Sorin sounded rather bored as he said this, but it's not his fault he can't pay attention to just one thing. He needed to be constantly changing things on the fly! Speaking of the lecture though, he wrote down Ghost and Fairy beside Mimikyu, and Bug and Fairy beside Parisa. He wrote Bug and Poison beside his Percival drawing. He may be bad at listening but he could take notes in his own weird way if that's what the professor wanted.

Uri is still perturbed by North sitting in his lap- he's soooo cold!! And now there isn't room for Princess to sit next to him...brrrrr. He tries to be quiet, whispering, "Nnn-North. Ccan you go sit in your s-s-seat? I cc-can't pay attention like this." At this point, Uri has essentially no idea what the teacher is droning on about. The scraps of information he's managed to grasp are just rudimentary monster knowledge Uri figures everyone should know by now (so he doesn't particularly feel the need to pay attention- it's just cold!!).

North looks up to Uri "Sssssh. The teacher is speaking"
Sumvin cocks a brow at Sorin's response.
"Hm. That may be true. You do seem like more of the athletic type. All right Mr Astra, please draw me the brachii longus on a Hydreigon that we discussed earlier. Should you be able to do so, I'll believe what you say"
roll poke ed or gen ed to successfully draw the said muscle

Sumvin seems very intrigued by Sorin's photo realistic drawing. He removes his mushroom immediately
"It would seem I've misjudged you. My apologies Mr. Astra. The rest of you could learn a thing or two from this boy. Especially you Uri. Stop dozing off an pay attention."
The class continues on as usual, and afterwords, you are each left to go to your next elective classes, which are classes designed to your particular talents. For example, bedwyr might find himself in an advanced physiology class, and Secus may be in a Demonic history class, but that is up to each of you to decide. Uri, wherever you go, North has absolutely refused to let go of your hand.

Sorin zooms off to his Drawing Course, He wasn't sure why but drawing felt like something he needed to get into. ...It also might help deal with teachers when he can't pay attention to the coursework. Plus the clearer his art, the clearer his notes would be for him to understand.

Bedwyr shuffled all his notes for this class into a singled out binder, then sorted the binder into his bag. AV Medical wasn't a class he was allowed to skip, you always had to update or relearn any techniques that had come into the field of medicine.

Uri heads over to the botany class, since his new cherry companion and the bizarre plants in the painting garden have sparked his interest in this field! He hugs Moxi to his chest as the plump, slightly frazzled botany teacher begins showing the class around a rather sizeable greenhouse, complete with various flowering or fruiting plants of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The sunlight filters in and automated sprinklers water the many plants simply stuffed into the humid greenhouse. There are even special temperature-controlled sections that create either desert or arctic conditions for berries that prefer those environments. There aren't just berries, though- huge carnivorous pitcher plants called "weepinbell" hung from the rafters while blue radishes occcasionally uprooted themselves from nearby flowerpots (hehe) to take a peek at the action. Uri's teacher seems completely at home in this bizarre place- and he likes it here too! Oh, is North still here? Uri looks down to his side to check.

Sorin's drawing class is lead by an incredibly relaxed dark elf named thar. Though he is dressed as though he is some sort of dark shaman, the constant meditative poses he holds while painting pictures of serene canals and lakes fill the room with an air of amenity. He successfully painted 3 pieces before turning to the class
"All right, I know that most of you are still new to this type of class, but no worries, we each progress at our own determined speeds, so as long as you move forward, you're doing great. For now, please use the color tone shifts I taught you to express better shadows to paint a subject that is dear to your heart. Or something that horrifies you and haunts you in your sleep. It should be one of those."
Bedwyr definitely stood out amongst his class. Everyone else seemed to be either a human, elf, angel, or fae. Being a Goblin definitely made him stand out. His class was led by a female angel name Leina. She was draped in an elegant white dress, with silver ringed accessories working as accents to her contours. She was the definition of pristine. The other students jeered and mocked from corners of the room, but Leina was quick to silence their remarks
"My apologies. It seems that no matter how much our cultures live together, many will still act childish. Forgive me, but I don't believe I've seen you in this class before."
Much to Uri's surprise, yes, North was in fact still latched onto his side refusing to let go. As soon as he entered the botany class, Uri could see the teacher rub between his eyes and send another student off to fetch something. Soon, a frost tipped wood elf woman comes into the room and picks up North, who he immediately latches onto her instead. It's almost insulting how quickly he swapped companions.
"Sorry about that. I guess you chose to be North's friend huh?"

Uri, surprised by North's easy departure, subsequently tries to ignore the quizzical/annoyed glances of his classmates. Looking his teacher in the eye, he nods. "Yeah, I did."
