Asher gave an exaggerated shrug in response to Kendrix. "Fair nuff. Though my my, you do seem to be particularly fond of big words, aren'ya?" He eyed Temple from his peripheral. "Does... what help? You my good friend are bein particularly vague, and I honestly do not have a clue what in the seven burnin hells you're talkin about."

Dia squinted at Concettina, inspecting her for a few seconds before leaning with right cheek no her right hand, she was almost amazed.
"Okay, that's really somethin', you look exactly like a dwarven girl I knew."
Machina stopped, and frowned, as someone from the human city with the highest dwarven population in all of Allurand, Concett's stereotypes were just disappointing to her.
"Well, you clearly never met a single dwarf in your life, not all of them are hunky blacksmiths with huge beards, so sorry for my mistake… Miss" Despite the dissaproval on her face, it didn't really seem like Maxwell was taking this anywhere near as seriously as the aristocrat in front of her, she was only half focus even if she was slightly disliking the girl.
Where am I? What's going on?

Elesandra simply gave Cormac an exasperated glance. Either he wasn’t as smart as he looked or he was just bad at reading people’s words. It definitely wasn’t her fault. She had been perfectly clear. Really.
She shook her head.
“No. Know what room I’m in. What room are you in?”
As she provided what to her seemed like an unnecessary explanation, El’s hands were busy trying to make sitting down in a cape actually comfortable, pulling at fabric here and picking at the clasp there. Honestly, how were students supposed to wear these things all the time? They just got in the way!

Erin watched, slightly amused at her dormmates' conversation. She stifled a laugh, before starting to prune her feathers. She recognised Cormac as the guy she had talked to sometime earlier for a minute or so. The other girl seemed new, and rather odd. She decided not to join the conversation, but lurk in the corner and join in the talking if someone else talked to her first. I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

Nala nodded before mumbling and casting another spell, this time a black ray shooting forth from the knife. Those familiar with necromancy would recognize it as a Ray of Enfeeblement. In the hopes of tripping Gaston up a bit more Nala made sure to aim the spell at his knees.
Dorm Alice
Nala let out a noise of disgust at Temple's appearance. "I would suggest just ignoring him, Ash. He's a neophyte of some questionable schooling. Hardly worth your time." She explained in a disdainful tone, throwing one last glare at Temple before turning to the kitchen proper herself and began looking through what they had, quickly finding, to her delight, both meat and spices.
"Does anyone know if there's a limit on how much we can use? I'd certainly love to get started on flavoring dinner itself if I'm allowed to do so. The longer it can marinate the better after all."

...Of course she wandered off because you got lost in thought, Nyxus thought to himself a bit later, as he realized that Erin wasn't there. Great job, numbskull.
With his stuff for the most part packed, Nyxus decided to exit the room for the time being, in order to find something to do.
So sorry for such a short post. D:

Gesturing at the door of the room he'd claimed as his (or, rather, the faculty had claimed on his behalf), Cormac said "That one there's mine, dinnae ken if I've got a roommate, but there's another two beds in there in case someone needs it." Come to think of it, Cormac didn't really need his bed seeing as he'd been doing just fine over the past few months with just his cloak and whatever Solera provided.
After a brief bit of silence on his part, Cormac noted that the dorm was starting to get a bit more crowded, and that it was getting a bit later, and ergo, was likely time for a late meal. Rising to his feet, the Guardian called out "Right, I'm goin' tae start makin' some dinner, an' I just want tae check an' see how many, if any o' you aren't eatin' meat or anythin' like that."
Dorm Beatrix Hallway
Down the stairs from the upper floors moving in the direction of the first-year's floor was a slightly tall beastkin with brown cat ears and pale skin, her eyes a purple-ish pink hue and her hair was long, brown and wavy, her hands sported small claw-like nails and her tail was very long and thin.
◊
The girl moving in Nyxus's and Harry's direction was carrying with her a small journal and a pen in her left hand, she looked at them smiling and doing a courteous dancer bow before she spoke in a soft voice and very inviting and friendly tone. Her presence like that of a kind older sister who you knew would help you with whatever you needed.
"You're the new freshmen right? I'm a third year, Agnes Euthalia, it's a pleasure to meet you both"

"Shamanistic Trasnvestism." Temple explained to Asher, "I'm just impressed. I've only used it a few times with...mixed results." He shrugged, his speech becoming more rapid as he tried to stop any tangent. "Of course, I saw you and then I went; Damn! This guy must know his necromancy if he's already prepared to rock it in order to draw up the more obstinate spirits. Do you have any sort of necromancy that you can teach me? Should I wear dresses more often? Does that make it easier overall or just with specific corpses?"

Gaston glanced back and forth from Nala to Nyxus and back, a confident smirk appearing on his face.
As Nala let loose her Ray, Gaston knelt in one swift movement. His left hand reached out to swat at the spell, impacting on his shield, the purple energy dissipating with a loud CRACK, and then at the very next second, his staff was flying, thrown towards the elven girl.
Dorm Alice
Eura flushed more at Nala reminding her of her fumble.
"I...didn't mean to almost punch you?" she said, almost pouting.
Sighing to herself, the blonde reached out to the oven and removed the cake from it.
It was a simple, vanilla and strawberry affair, nothing too fancy, but good-sized.
Eura carefully edged her way to the table, avoiding the others in the room.
"Oh, um! Everyone's welcome to grab a slice or two."
At Kendrix's words, she frowned. "Necromancy is just a school of magic, like any other. It's what you do with it. And for what it's worth, Miss Nala and what she's doing...it's very impressive."
And then Temple came and she was struck speechless.
A moment of silence.
"That'ssss not a thiiiiing, you moron."
Dorm Theo
Duke shrugged. "Honestly, I'd just wait for the gas to go and work in the dorm study room. Quick and easy, you know? Also, I have lots of cheat sheets up there, if you need it. I've taken a liking to you!"
Meanwhile, the Half-Orc, Millie, had gone after Gabrielle.
"Hey! I'm sorry about Duke! We're not all like him, I swear!" She called out.
Nothing is what it seems. Master of Shipping and Sadism.
Then: Duel
Damn it!
Realizing what Gaston threw, Nyxus moved quickly. First, he fired the arrow he already had at Gaston's hand (not wanting to waste the spell), then he ran towards Nala, quickly prepping and firing an arrow at the staff in an attempt to alter its trajectory away from Nala
Now: Dorm Beatrix Hallways
"...Nyxus Aster," he responded, in response to Agnes. "Nice to meet you."

After a moment, Kiri decided to rise from his seat and leave his room, making sure Mireena's gift was somewhere he'd remember it. Stepping out into the hallway, the young sorcerer looked both ways down the hall and found it to be satisfactorily empty for now. With this solitude in mind, he couldn't help but pull out Anile's harmonica from his pocket and give it a few tries, testing the sound of its music against the northern air.

Asher just stared at Temple for a good long while, before finally opening his mouth. "Boy you are ten apples short of a fruit pie." He shook his head. "And second of all, why do you assume I am a necromancer? If anythin' I'm more a pyromancer. I burn things. I like to burn things. Hells, I really like to burn things."
Combat mode, engage
Duel
Nala's arms pinwheeled as she tumbled backwards, just managing to keep her skirt down as she fell, dropping the knife in the process. Her eyes flickered to Jerry, blinking once as she fell.
Jerry landed on a support high above Gaston and waited for the arrows to fly, ready to swoop on Gaston the moment he made a move.
"Owww....C'mon, was that really called for?" Nala asked, playing up her injury. "That's like 2 to 5 times more dangerous than anything I've thrown at you."
Dorm Alice
Nala pulled out some meats and spices, taking off her gloves and revealing two druidic circles tattooed on the back of her hands. "That's sweet of you to say Eura, but I'm really more of a beginner. Once you understand the process shoving life energy into people is really quite simple since the extra energy immediately integrates with the energy the soul generates, what monks call 'ki' the real challenge is directing it to larger internal injuries or making sure all vital points are adequately stimulated on a dying person. And none of that even begins to cover the variety of salves, medicine and surgery that exists throughout the world." She explained cheerfully as she kneeded the spices into the meat.
"To be perfectly honest even when I graduate from here my journey is really only halfway done. Necromancy may be my greatest talent but that doesn't mean I plan to use it like a crutch."

Dorm Beatrix Hallway: Nyxus, Agnes and Harry
Agnes blinked rapidly at Nyxus's lukewarm response, she chuckled and smiled widely before speaking.
"There's no need to be shy, I may have these ears, but I don't bite you know! Pleasure to meet you Aster, so… What's your majors?" Something about the way she carried herself and her voice, the relaxed friendliness yet clearly focused from the orderly way she was walking that was very inviting, like a charismatic leader that was kind to her people, her demeanor would draw you in as unthreatening, someone good, understanding and a person you know you can depend on and trust.
Dorm Alice Hallway: Kiri
From Kiri's opposite side of the hall a moderately tall figure appeareda woman with sandy blonde slicked back hair, tied at around the rear in a messy ponytail and below her ears her hair was tied in decorated, small pigtails, she bore strikingly gray eyes and her general heavy get up that contrasted with the soft features of her face.
◊ The girl wore an obviously modified version of the yellow robe uniform, its key difference being the heavier texture and being much tighter on the skin as seen on her sleeve and a much longer skirt hiding her legs entirely, yet still it showed the mark of the Transmutation college all the same and behind it was the signature black cloak of the academy.
The stranger was holding in her left hand and ink pen and in her right what seemed like a small journal, her eyes were closed as she hummed along to the beautiful melody, enchanted by the sound she was only brought back to earth by bumping into Kiri, making her shake her head to the sides, take 2 steps back and bowed down almost instinctively.
"My sincere apologies mister, I was just… Mesmerized by this tune, there was something nostalgic about it, reminding me of the charm of my home"
She reached with her hands to his, gesturing that she wanted to give him a handshake, her smile filled with warmth, showing clearly even with the formal slightly distancing exterior of her words.
"I should greet you properly. I'm a third year from dorm Theodore, Amanda Abigail, pleasure to meet you sir"

Kiri blinked and looked up from his testing when he felt something collide into him from where he was standing outside of his room. A grunt had barely escaped his confused throat when he righted himself and found himself looking at a woman from the Transmutation, from the color of her robes. His red eyes examined her features for a moment, absently taking in her words as she spoke.
Far from home too, huh...?
He noticed her hand extended towards him after following her arm down, and he moved the harmonica from his right hand to his left before giving her a brief but polite handshake, the contact unnerving yet oddly interesting as he kept his ring hidden under his left sleeve.
"...Kiri. First year Evocation, living right behind me," he said at last, gesturing to the door behind him. "Was just testing this thing. Thought of something I used to hear back in Sedura."

"It's fine," Nyxus responded to the Beastkin. "I'm not worried or anything, just... a bit exhausted. Today's been a long day."
Long, but mostly good, he thought to himself. The morning's rushing over tea leaves aside, there hadn't been any nasty shocks, and he even made some friends (which, considering how he often kept to himself, was pretty good). All in all, pretty good signs for the school year.
"As for my major, I'm taking Divination," he answered. "How about you?"
The Maid
Gabrielle, Dorm Theo Gardens
As she stepped onto the gardens, Gabrielle let out a nice long sigh... letting tension come out from her body. Now this was bad... it had been trouble after trouble since coming here. Wasn't she meant to be a calculating monster that didn't let stuff affect her? A two faced liar trying to get along with everyone? And yet, she had just gotten angry and sniped not only that Divination teacher but also her first upperclassman she met... dear, it was one thing for someone evil to be discourteous against their inferiors... But only fools (usually good, righteous fools) attacked their superiors. Someone was truly wrong with her...
Yet... at least she had a little chance to try and overcome things. The one upperclassman she had liked so far was coming to her... turning to face her in the garden, the pink haired young woman smiled a bit awkwardly "E-Ehehe... please do not apologize. I actually was just worried I made a really bad impression myself despite having said all of that to Upperclassman Duke. I actually have to thank you for trying to make a good impression to us all as we step into this Academy"
Gabrielle, Dorm Theo Gardens after Conversing with Millie
While Gabrielle in the past continues to talk with her Senior, after that she kept hanging out by the Gardens of the Dorm... deciding to let the smell clear completely before facing the situation of her new roommates.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.
"I'm glad we can agree on that." Kendrix commented, tapping her hand against the sheathe of her sword. "This blade isn't just for play, it's to keep me grounded in the physical. I augment and heal myself with magic, sure, but I think it's important to Be Here too." As demonstration she flexed her arms out into a boxing pose for a moment and fed fire into her taut muscles, sending visible heatwaves out of herself.
Thurston up above nodded his head and grunted with approval.
"Thurston helps too." Kendrix said, returning to an at ease position. "Ser Isobel, my mentor, has a donkey as her familiar for similar reasons. Humility that I'm still trying to learn, I think."

Temple noticed that Asher never really answered his question. "Yes it does." He stubbornly told Ol' Tom. "Why else would Uncle Ezekiel wear dresses while he works?" He pointed out to the skull before turning back to face Asher.
"Well, I just figured that you would be from your manner of dress. It's something that a few necromancers do." He paused before adding somewhat sheepsihly, "Have you tried bringing something back to life?"

Amy pointed at Kiri with her pen as she inspected the man curiously. "So you're from the big capital? I'm from Zemir, though my family was always traveling so we never really stayed in one city for long." Abigail stared down for a brief second before she opened her small journal, jotting something down on it, and as she finished, she smiled at the young man and stared at her own robe.
"Well, I don't doubt for a second you'll love this place just as much as Sedura, Kiri. It's a bit of a weird place with a variety of…. unique people, and there is just…a certain charm to it, so I'm sure you'll get a lot from this place like I did."
Dorm Hallway: Agnes, Harry, and Nyxus
Agnes nodded, understanding what moving day feels like all too well.
"Tired on your first day? Well, I get how it is, tomorrow will be easier, though no promises for the rest of the school year"
Anny chuckled and tapped on her pen with her forefinger, as she seemed to inspect the elf.
"Double major, Evocation and Abjuration, don't recommend it unless you're really good with your studies it can be difficult to keep up with, though that might just be because someone's pushing their responsibility over a club on me…" Euthalia showed a small smile and sighed.
Dorm Theo Gardens, with Gabrielle
Soon after Gabby left Millie, she could hear the sound of running footsteps, and sometime after that the sound of slightly heavy breathing, a sign of someone taxed, usually physically.
After a few minutes a tall, bulky figure would emerge from the dark and the silhouette would gain details, and a familiar shape.
Claudio Frost, the half orc teacher of her major was there, jogging topless, soon seeing his student he waved to her and stopped his movement before running in her direction, and then stopping, taking a couple moments to let his breath and body turn back to normal after a long workout.
Claudio smiled, his expression not showing that he harbored any ill will towards the girl even after her whole debacle in his office. "Good evening Miss Gabrielle, didn't expect to meet you again so soon after you left the faculty, well, do you like your dorm?"

"And I'm Harry Kandelmann, Abjuration. Feels strange to be a freshman after a spell of a time working out there."
Even if no one could noticed the service ribbon sewn onto his robe, his name was a good clue as to what Harry did before enrolling. A variant of the name 'Kandelmann' had been an old Elysian term for 'candleholder', a slang term for watchman.
"If anyone needed help moving things, I would have been happy to assist. Just finished packing away myself." He grinned at Agnes.

Somewhat taken aback by Elesandra's sniffing at him, but not by much (he did live in the woods after all, having people and animals sniff you wasn't uncommon), Cormac simply responded to her introduction with a cheerful "Pleased tae meet you friend!".
As Elesandra and her beaver sat down, Cormac gave the beaver a hesitant smile, recounting the numerous times he'd had to treat the wounds of beaver attacks back in his village. In response to Elesandra's second question, Cormac simply responded "I cannae say I follow you. Are you askin' which room you're goin' tae be callin' yours, because tae be completely honest wi' you I'm not entirely sure. Saw a bunch o' names that dinnae seem tae hae arrived yet or may hae had second thoughts about enrollin'."
