Daniel sees a bit of Thistle's reaction to his and feels... kinda guilty, but just keeps going to sit down where he was going to.
He indeed isn't fond of the unevenness, but hopes to stick with it as the ride goes.
Daniel is similarly startled by the small shadowy figure exiting the train, but resolves to gather his belongings and continue on.

Christian nods a little to the icy kid as they were walking towards the manor, trying to not get trampled by all the college students. He looks back to him, being careful where he walked with a nervous smile. "Yeah im actually going here.. First year. It's okay. Mostly."
He's knocked to the side a little. "Thank you very much for the help. Not really sure where to go." He replies with a anxious look on his face.
Once inside and to the front with the icy boy he nods a little. "Um thank you very much again." Starting to fill out the form with all the correct details including the stuff he was told from Professor Pendleton. "Okay urm, this is easy. I mean I know its not a test but its not that bad. Don't want to screw up though.. I should double check it after."
As he fills out the paperwork he blinks a little looking up at Envy for a moment, a forced smile in this crowd clearly not comfortable. Then he looks to the icy kid, pulling down his hood. "I'm, uh Chris. Whats your name?" He was also keeping his suitcase very close to him, a hand regularly checking it and his rollerblades attached to his backpack are still there.

Leona had been about to answer when the train had reached its destination and it was time to go get everything ready.
"Sure...uh...whatever then..."
The other girl had taken off so quickly, leaving Leona feeling kinda awkward. She got out of her seat and gathers up her belongings, lugging her bags behind her as she steps out onto the station.
Alright Leona, try not to get lost.
She makes her way towards the Academy, heart racing from amazement and excitement. Her backpack was heavy and abnormally large, but she was never planning on leaving her shield in her other luggage. Too long to take out if she needed it. She'd tuck it away more safely when she got to the dorms, she decided. For now, onwards to try and find the place first.
Part-Time Omen of Death
Vicki observed everyone getting their room assignments, the whole time trying to remember if any numbers had shown up in her dreams. It didn't look like she'd have long to wait to find out her assignment either way, though.
Stupid doomed timeline...
This school was full of lazy bums.
Luckily, Dahlia had been quick enough to exploit the opportunity, not really paying much attention to the names of everyone else. She'd learn that as the time came.
255, Dahlia noted as she looked at her room key.
She then began hauling her belongings, looking for any path (such as an on-site elevator) that might ease her way around the mansion.
As soon as she found her room, she used her key on the door, opened it, and took a brief look around inside.
Blitzy....
"I'm from Gaia too", Galva tells Tasar. He demonstrates his power by putting some ball lightning in his hands. "Cool, right?", he says in need of validation. "What about you?"
Just made a server on discord.Come join me.
Laura watched as the greeters jumped into the vicinity. Laura noted their casual attitudes curiously. Was this a sign of the tone of this place?Regardless, she has her room key now, so she heads over to the dorms to drop her stuff off. She searches for her room. When she finds it, she opens the door with her key and takes a look at the room inside. If there is nobody else there already, she goes in and finds a place to set her bags.

Arrakas looks out over the city, dark red eyes observing the city. For once, he doesn’t have anything witty to say. He isn’t impressed- no, something like resentment glitters in his eyes. And perhaps a bit of fear. ”... Thistle, open that bag.”
As the train pulls into the clock tower/station thingy, the lizardfolk glanced at his familiar, before unzipping his bag. The snake dashed forwards and slipped inside, curling up. Thistle raised an eyeridge, but shrugged and got up, following the crowd out of the train.
Apparently they were already on campus, judging by both the huge amount of what looked like students, and the signs directing him to follow them. Brushing past a flaming girl (who seemed to be pretty alright) he followed the signs, trying to brush past people while remaining inconspicuous.
Thankfully, he wasn’t the strangest thing there.

"Yeah, sure, cool. Ain't you lucky that you got elemental powers with your sorcery. I'd show you what I've got, but honestly I can't find it in myself to be afraid of you right now. You're too trusting to pose a threat at the moment. So, since I'll probably be seeing you around, seriously, you're pretty hard to miss, the name is Tasar."
Tasar extends a hand reluctantly. His mind is busy trying to place how Galva will fit in to the school, but having never been to college before he's not entirely sure. Usually nobles either end up above everyone due to finance or constantly pestered, and it is very much worth having them as your ally in the former case.
I need to update these things more often
Jacob would write down his name, and fill out the rest of the form. Wooo, paperwork.
Then, he'd give a slightly satisfied grunt while eying it.
That's just how it is on this bitch of an earth
Guess people like jumping here.. Sun shrugs and goes to find his room. Socializing or whatever could wait, he wanted to get settled in first.

Those going up to their rooms will find a sheet of paper taped to their doors with a list of events being held that week. The second of these events, which is circled in bright red, is new student orientation, bright and early the next day.
Each of the rooms in the mansion are surprisingly small, though still roomy enough for two people, each hosting a pair of twin beds and a pair of desks.
Nobody’s roommates seem to have moved in yet, except for Dahlia’s.
A girl with white-blond hair done in a braid looks up, seemingly in the middle of unpacking.
“Oh, hey there,” she says, getting up and smiling. “I guess you’re my roommate? Nice to meet you! My name's Aquamarine, but you can call me Aqua.” She holds out her hand to shake.
As soon as they step outside the station, Daniel, Leona, and Thistle should be able to easily spot all the “New students go here!” sign leading them towards the mansion across the street.
Daniel and Leona should be able to make it there just fine, but Thistle will find himself stopped by a blonde dude with square sunglasses running up to him and pointing a shimmering sword at his travel bag.
The dude seems a bit confused at first, but then shakes his head and lifts the sword higher, pointing it now at the lizardfolk.
“State your business here, witch."
“Brandon,” says the icy kid, “But I meant your full name.”
Brandon looks over at the form Chris filled out, then searches for the name on a long list of students.
“White, comma, Christian,” the boy reads aloud. “Huh, guess you really are a student here. Must be quite the story behind that.”
He digs out a room key from a box full of them and passes it to Chris. “Room 215. Welcome aboard.” Brandon gives Chris a warm smile before sending him off.
Around the hall, more and more people are getting their rooms.
“You’ll be staying in Room 268,” says the blond kid to Vicki.
“Looks like you’re in 232,” says Envy to Kevin.
“Room 261,” says Ava to Jacob.

Thistle blinked in surprise and took a step back, his muscles tensing almost imperceptibly. What did he do? Run? Say something? Try to fight the guy? He didn’t want to hurt anyone, and the guy was only pointing that sword at his bag, so-
-nope. He was pointing a sword at Thistle. That was great.And he’d called him a witch. That was great.
“”Hey,” he snapped, his claws flexing on instinct. “Put the sword down. I don’t know if calling someone a witch is a grave insult or something-”
”It is an insult, but only because he’s intolerant,” Arrakas piped up softly. ”Inform him that you’re a shadow sorcerer. Don’t mention me. Don’t let him search this bag. And for the love of all that’s Chaos, did you need to pack all this wood?
“-but I have an invitation and shit. I’m a shadow sorcerer.”
”Inform him that you thought that the academy would greet new students with directions and not an attack on your person, Arrakas instructed the lizardfolk.
“And I… well, I thought that you guys would greet me with instructions and stuff, not an attack,” he pointed out. “I don’t see you attacking any other students. Is this because I’m a lizardfolk or something? Is this a race thing?”

Orientation
Daniel, hearing the thing going on with Thistle, is unsure whether he should do anything or not, so decides to go read his room assignment and... hopefully do something if it comes to it.

Vicki thanked the boy, and took her things (including any new papers, keys, etc.) to go and find her room... oh, and her roommate! So she didn't get first choice of beds, but that's fine. She'd dump her bags on the empty bed, then introduce herself.
"Hey. I'm Vicki. Looks like we're roomies, huh?"
Stupid doomed timeline...
"Aqua," said Dahlia.
What kinda name is that?
She looked like some prissy princess straight out of a Disney cartoon, and her name sounded like something some kid would name their extra special main character just because they thought it sounded cool, which it didn't.
Dahlia was rich, but she didn't really like flaunting it in everyone's face.
Dahlia extended her hand, simply out of common courtesy.
"It's Dal, or Dahlia, or whatever."
Hopefully this person wouldn't be too much of a pain in the ass to deal with.
After quickly discerning which closet, drawers, and other furniture were hers, Dahlia then began unloading her belongings as well.
"They say anything about where we're supposed to go after this?" Dahlia asked offhandedly.

Seeing as she was the first one there, Laura set her bags over on the left-side bed and began to unpack, however it wasn't long before her roommate came in as well. Luckily, it seemed to just be another human girl like herself. In fact, Laura was pretty sure she saw this girl on her bus here. Probably.
"...Guess so. My name's Laura. Nice to meet you, I suppose."
Part-Time Omen of Death
"Good to meet you too. And don't worry, I'm not too much trouble. At least, I don't think. Never had a roommate before, so never had anyone to tell me otherwise." Vicki smiled a bit, then set about unpacking her own bags.
Stupid doomed timeline...
"That's good. I hope I'm not too much trouble either, really."
Laura went back to unpacking her stuff. That girl's got a more lax attitude, she thought. That's good. At least I won't have any chaos here. Wait. Wouldn't she be a mage person too?
Laura looked over at Vicki again, but then decided to ask her about it later and finish unpaacking things.

Christian takes the key, his face turning red embarrassed. "Oh. I sorry, I thought you were just being polite." He didn't realize he was trying to help with the key.
He nods to Brandon. "Guess there's a story." Looking a little bashful as he takes his suitcase and starts to roll it following signs around towards the dorms by himself, wanting to find his room and put his stuff inside.
Running through the middleschoolers head was one thing. "Wonder who my roommates gonna be. I hope they're not scary. Or some monster... What if they're some pyromancer or-"
Many more anxious similar thoughts follow.

Kevin takes his duffel bag and suitcase up the stairs and makes his way to his room.
He plops down on his bed and lets out a big sigh.
"Oh boyyyyyyy," he said to himself, " this is going to get some taking used to."

Sun goes in and unpacks. It seemed his roommate wasn't here yet. He didn't think he'd been that early, maybe whoever was rooming got stuck on the lines? Eh, whatever. He was alone for now, he could relax for a little bit.

Daniel and Leona enter the mansion, the lines now starting to thin out. Ava waves Leona over to her table when she sees her enter, while Daniel ends up in whatever line happens to be mostly empty.
“Hey, so listen,” Ava says, handing her a form to fill out. “Sorry about leaving so soon, but I was needed here, you know?”
“So like, I know we only met for a little while and didn’t really get to talk, but you seem like you’re probably pretty cool. So like, after you get settled in - Room 222 by the way - come find me, okay? I’ll be around.”
Ava passes Leona a small key before moving on to the next person.
Meanwhile, across the hall….
“Daniel who?” asks a boy with a curly undercut and a leather jacket. “Oh, right, you monsters and your lack of family names. Okay, let’s see here, uh….” He flips through the list, finally stopping at the D’s.
“Okay there’s two Daniels here with no surnames. Uhhhhm, okay, here’s what we’re gonna do. I’m gonna give you a random one of these two keys, and if it ends up being the wrong one, well, we’ll never know. Sound good?”
Not waiting for an answer, the guy tosses him the key. “Room 232. Have fun.”
Aqua shrugs, getting back to unpacking her things as well. “My sisters said we just hang around until student orientation tomorrow. Oh, and I guess they’re serving midnight breakfast in the dining hall tonight? Not sure if that’s a regular thing, though.
Sunglasses dude sneers. “Trust me, if this was a race thing, I would lay waste to every monster that comes through that train without a second thought. No, this is something very different.”
In a small burst of light, another shimmering sword appears in sunglasses dude’s free hand. Four other swords appear floating in the air behind him, though these appear to be broken.
“You reek of Chaos magic!”
she magnificent my bastard till i complete on her monster
Daniel looks a bit unsure. What was with this human and why did they think only having one name was weird.
He is a decent distance away from sunglasses dude to not hear anything because otherwise he might have something to say about it.
At any rate, he heads to Room 232 and is about to get set up when he notices his roommate.
"Uh... hey."

Tasar grits his teeth at hearing his last name called out like that. In a crowd of this size, there's a good chance someone might recognize it and start asking questions. Of course, the city had made him realize that his family were big fish in a small pond, but that doesn't stop him from making an uncouth remark under his breath and deafened by his residual emotions.
Once everything is in his room and Tasar has familiarized himself with the locks on the doors, he passes back through the halls to explore the building. On his journey, he notices a rather striking individual: white hair, and what looks like a sword at his side. Tasar crosses his arms, and walks right in front of Galva with a slight frown on his face.
"Well, aren't you the spitting image of nobility? Looks like you're new here too, if that expression is anything to go off of. I can't honestly tell if you're from Earth, though. Haven't had enough experience with the place. Anyways, what's with the getup? Seems awfully impractical for a learning environment, huh?"
