7:45, Oddity High, Little Haven

It was a quiet morning. Anyone passing by the building that housed Oddity High would not have suspected that it was a school for the supernatural, or even a school of any kind.

In fact, no one really knew what was going to happen there that morning. Certainly not the teachers; no, they all assumed they were in for a day of corralling mundane, uncooperative weirdos. Mr. Morgan, who had arrived about three minutes prior, was preparing his lesson plans. Ms. Hughes, who had arrived around the same time as Mr. Morgan, was using the photocopier on the first floor and cackling to herself. Ms. Perlman had not arrived yet and was en route. Mr. Davis had also not arrived yet and would probably show up slightly late.

What about the students? They didn't have any idea of what was about to happen. None of them had really thought about there being other people like them, and none of them knew what to expect. Who knows what other (markedly non-mundane) weirdos would be there?

Let's find out, shall we?

6:45 am, Little Haven Beach

The sun was just rising over the horizon. The beach was empty and pristine as the sky began to color a warm orange, causing the sea to glisten with light.

A splash arose from the depths as a handsome young man with red hair suddenly emerged from below the waves, as if borne from the depths like a proverbial Venus. Throwing back the hair from his face, the young man opened his eyes, piercing grey eyes glistening in the light. All he wore was a pair of pants, which were oddly dry after having been seemingly submerged in the ocean. A smile beamed on his face.

He had been waiting for this for weeks. Ever since he had signed up for school, Gill had been awaiting the day of the first classes. His excitement was hard to contain; he had no idea what to expect and yet the idea of learning as much as he could about the world of man thrilled him.

Gill rushed towards a particularly large rock, moving away some of the sand to pull away a box, covered in algae and seaweed. opening the box, he pulled out a somewhat tight dark-blue shirt, a pair of socks, and a pair of comfortable looking shoes. He had hidden this outfit by the beach for the occasions when he would walk on the surface among the humans.

The humans... how he longed to emulate them, and today would finally be the day, he thought as he put on the rest of his outfit.

Hiding the empty box along the rocks of the beach, he moved with a skip in his step up the beach towards the steps that led to the road alongside the shore. Then he moved excitedly down the sidewalk and headed in the direction of the school.


7:45 am, Oddity High

Gill had arrived at the school a good 20 minutes ago, barely able to maintain his composure. As the clock started to count towards 8:00, Gill eagerly stared at the hands, watching them tick away the seconds.

He immediately began to compile a list of questions in his head, though the questions were so numerous that he didn't even know where to begin.

Waving to each and every passerby that moved beside the school, and receiving either friendly waves back or odd looks, Gill hummed gently to himself and looked towards the building, his smile never leaving his face.

7:45, Oddity High

A green car makes its stop right across the front of the building. A shaggy-haired girl steps out of the car, wearing a white t-shirt, Capri blue jeans and blue & white running shoes, and with a backpack on. She takes a look at her mother who tells her she'll see her after school. And the girl half-heartedly lets out a "Yeah, yeah. Whatever." The car drives away as the girl watches it until it disappears out of view. She sighs in a very irritated manner.

"This is gonna be the worst days of my life," she says in her heavy New York accent. "Takin' me away from Brooklyn where I'm probably gonna meet a bunch of dweebs? This sucks!" She mutters angrily as she approaches the building, all with quite the noticeable scowl on her face. While she is actually a good-looking girl, no one could tell with the look she's giving right now. So menacing, it makes the freckles around her nose raise. And indeed she wasn't happy here at all. She had something of a modest life in Brooklyn. Simple, just the way she liked it. She had her own small circle back there she cherished, but now she was at a new place. And she definitely isn't in the most sociable of moods right now.

7:45, A Car Outside Oddity High

Blake took a deep breath as he sat in the back seat, staring up at the building as he mustered the will to even exit the car. That bravery wasn't coming, but a question definitely was.

"Why are we doing this?"

His mother, sat stock-still in the driver's seat, let out a deep but clearly emphasized sigh as she mulled over the question.

"Why are we in this stupid town? What's wrong with our place in NY? I had friends there."
"Blake. Honey. I will explain to you when I think you're ready to understand why I needed to take us out here. But that isn't now, right now I need you to just put up with my..."
"Your bullshit?"
"Sure, fine. For now you need to put up with my BS and... Get in there, make some new friends. And if you want, you can tell me all about it when you get home."

Blake closed his eyes for a second, seemingly listening to something before he opened the door halfway. Then he paused for a moment.

"Can we have—?"
"Porkchops for dinner? Sure, I'll pick some up. They'll be ready when you get home. Oh and... Have a good day, okay?"
"Okay..."

And with that, the teen departed the car and into the cluster of fellow new students.

7:45, Just Outside Oddity High

Blake emerges from a car, which lingers for a few seconds before driving off. Blake himself wandered over, trying to find some people to talk to.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

7:45am or so, Little Haven, behind Oddity High - Alex Palencia the nervous werewolf

Before, Alex would've never been one to be to school early, or on time... Or at all, sometimes.

Now however, with as anxious and desperate as he was, Alex had been sure to be getting to the school early. Like, had rushed straight out the door as fast as he could, early; hadn't even had breakfast first, early. In fact, he'd hardly slept much last night, (though the same could be said for the last couple of weeks, even before he'd found the school pamphlet, so it didn't have to do with that in particular) and had already been awake at this point for a few hours.

As for a more specific now of this moment, the half-Caucasian half-Hispanic teenager was hanging out next to the dumpster behind the building, which he had just checked for anything he might want to grab. This wasn't a new experience for Alex; heck it wasn't even the first time today, as he had raided the dumpster of a gas station convenience store on the way here after realizing he'd forgotten breakfast. He sighed as he didn't find anything of particular note in the school dumpster, and returned his attention to the two prizes he'd claimed from that previous dumpster, which he'd stowed in his backpack: A half empty carton of cigarettes, and an unopened bag of beef jerky.

Alex started with the cigarettes, but stared at them apprehensively. He'd thought he was probably addicted to the things, but as of a year or two ago, he'd started to like them less and less. He still liked the hit of nicotine, but the smell of the smoke had started to be unbearable; the last time he tried to smoke one, a few days ago, he took one puff and nearly threw up. Thinking back to that, Alex opened the carton and brought it up to his nose to sniff. The fresh memory it brought up of the smoke made Alex gag, reflexively pulling the carton back away. With a resigned and defeated look, Alex stared at the carton a few more moments, sighed, then tossed it into the school dumpster.

Next up, the beef jerky. He hastily tore the top open, and likewise gave it a sniff. They were a bit past their sell by date, but it was after all dried meat; plus somehow, just by smelling it, Alex could tell that it was still safe to eat. Thus he promptly ate a piece with gusto, nearly moaning in satisfaction after he chewed it up and swallowed.

Of course, Alex's sensitivity to the cigarette smoke, his ability to subconsciously tell if food was safe to eat from the smell alone, and his recent discovery about himself a few weeks prior were not coincidences... But Alex wasn't clever enough to realize that. Especially not with his current sleep deprivation and distraction of beef jerky.

7:45, Oddity High

A rather plain-looking SUV pulled up alongside the school, seemingly inconspicuous except for the blackened back windows for whatever reason. The two people in the front seats—a man and a woman—appeared to be talking to someone sitting in the back, conversing quickly yet quietly before the back door finally unlocked, swinging open as a figure stepped out.

It was a... girl. Not especially surprising, but the borderline pastel colours she wore and her similarly bright hair and overall appearance made something about her seem... odd. Especially since her face seemed rather flat and expressionless, up until she tentatively made her way up to the sidewalk.

Almost tripping over it, she seemed to just... not fall over, despite clearly overbalancing. Instead she just straightened up again, carefully stepping over the lip—before detecting the others nearby and finally smiling towards them in a cheerful, innocent fashion.

“Hihi...~! Mimi's ready for school~!”

She stuck out her hand, as if expecting it to be shaken, but held her expression constantly—effectively just standing there awkwardly until someone greeted her and broke her out of her state.

7:45, Outside Oddity High

Amongst the quick procession of anxious families dropping off their kids, a Toyota station wagon pulled up on the curb. In the back seat, leaning against the side, a boy with scruffy black hair surveyed the world outside. He was clad in dark blue jeans and a jacket to match, over a white dress shirt, with an old-fashioned brown cap on his head- a good-luck charm picked up from his days exploring woods and abandoned buildings.

"Alright son, this is it," said the gangly man with the receding hairline up in the driver's seat. "Feeling 'pumped' for a fresh start?"

Kayden Verity sighed. "As I'll ever be. Guess we'll see if this place lives up to the hype."

To his right, a certain six-year-old with a yellow sweater and brunette bob-cut unbuckled her seat belt to get a better look out his window. "Is that the magic school out there?" She started clambering over Kayden's side. "I wanna see, I wanna see!"

"Knock it off, Sally," went Kayden, pushing her back down. "It's not like it looks like Hogwarts out there. Doesn't really look like much of anything."

From the front passenger seat, Kayden's portly bespectacled mother leaned around to face them. "Well, sweetie, that might be the point. You never know what kinds of maaagical wonders might be hidden away from prying eyes," she said, the way an elementary school teacher might tell little kids about a trip to see Santa.

Kayden rolled his eyes, but Sally clutched her pink backpack, eyes full of wonder. "You mean like fairies? And unicorns? And dragons that breath out pink glitter clouds?"

"Sally, c'mon," went Kayden, "There's not gonna be fairies or dragons or unicorns there."

"But you could make there be, right?" asked Sally. "You could magic some unicorns, or-or make the whole school float on the clouds and sparkle."

"Don't think my magic's on that level, yet, squirt." Or rather, he hoped to god it wasn't.

"Awww." Sally pouted. "But what if I wish it w-"

"NO!" went the cry from the front seats, to which the Dad tacked on. "No more wishes sweetie, not today. Kayden needs to get to school now."

"Okay..." went a downcast Sally.

"So," went Mom, "You're sure you've got everything, Kay? Books, notepad, pencil case, change for-"

"Yes, Mom," said Kayden, picking up his satchel and looping the strap over his shoulder. "You wished for it yesterday, so there's no reason why I wouldn't have it, right?"

"Have a good time now," said Dad, "Your Mom'll be by to pick you up at two."

This brought half a smile to Kayden's face. One side perk from going to this freaky place was having only half a school day and then getting to go home and do sweet FA. "Alright, see you guys," he said, clambering out the car. A chorus of 'goodbye's and 'take care's called to him as he hopped out, and started the march over to a fresh start.

***

Coming up to the front entrance, the butterflies that had been in Kayden's stomach for a while started to travel all over his body. This was actually happening. After so many months of madness, he was finally going to be going somewhere outside of home where he could show everyone the...other half of his life. Was this actually a magic school? Was it all just one giant scam? Would he be the only one actually magical, and if he turned into a girl in front of everybody, he'd be blowing this whole thing wide open for no good reason? Would they all go crazy? Would he get arrested? Would the government take him away and he'd never see his family again, right when Sally finally started not being such a little booger?

These were the questions preying on his mind as he looked over the nondescript building, and noticed the other kids milling around in front. Two of them looked alright, just a couple of kids around his age looking they too would rather be somewhere else, anywhere else. Then there was this redhead pretty boy, just standing there waving, unnaturally chipper. "Heyowzitgoin" murmured Kayden as he gave a non-committal wave back. That's when he turned and locked eyes with someone even weirder- this pink-haired girl with grey eyes, just holding a hand out in the air for someone to shake it.

"...Well, that's real nice for Mimi." Not even hiding the fact that he was staring, Kayden timidly reached out to weakly take the hand and shake it a bit.

Mimi

Really nice for Mimi~” the odd girl chirped in response, appearing to resume as if unpaused as she happily shook Kayden's hand up and down. “What's your name? Are you excited for school too... ~? Mimi's a good girl, so she's going to a good school...! Is that why you're here...?”

Apart from the blatant third-person pronoun usage, Mimi also didn't appear to be looking at Kayden as if she could actually see him; though for the duration of the handshake she'd strangely kept her touch prolonged. Almost as if she had trouble seeing, if not outright blind in some way.

This may have been fair enough, but all this combined with the fact that the light hit her as it would on plastic and not on skin or fabric meant she seemed very... fake. Comparable to a doll come to life, almost.

“Mama and Papa said this school's for people like Mimi...~! She doesn't know what that means, but she's happy...!”

Robin - Arrival at Oddity High, 7:45.

With his folks having already left for work an hour ago, it was something of a hectic morning for Robin as they scrambled to make sure everything was organized.

Even with the weather report last night mentioning clear skies, Robin still couldn't help but have an umbrella at the ready, just in case. Sure, they probably looked a little...odd by trying to make an effort to avoid windows and anything that'd cast a reflection, which meant most of the last half hour was taking shortcuts through alleyways without relying on that odd...talent they'd recently picked up. Meaning by the time Robin had actually managed to arrive at the high school itself, the youth was somewhat tired from all the walking and running.

Still, Robin couldn't help but give a friendly wave to those still outside the school. None of them looked familiar, but it didn't hurt to try and be friendly!

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Outside Oddity High

There were so many interesting people arriving at the school! Were these his classmates? His excitement simply grew.

A few of the students responded to him with either waves of their own or friendly greetings. Gill walked towards one of them, the tired-looking younger boy who had greeted him in return, and was currently in a conversation with a girl. Gill took the opportunity to get introductions out of the way.

He walked towards Kayden and Mimi, putting a hand on each one's shoulders. At once he noticed Mimi's odd skin texture, and he didn't know immediately what to think of it, though considering he had never touched a human before, maybe some humans just had funny-feeling skin. Even though this girl's skin called to mind more that of a sea slug than a human being...

Regardless, introductions were in order.

"It's going very well!" Gill said cheerily, in response to Kayden's greeting. "School's starting, and we're going to learn so much and meet so many new friends, it's gonna be so much fun! I'm so excited!" He let go of the two, standing up straight and clearing his throat. "Oh right, intros, intros. Right right right. I'm Gill! Nice to meet you two! Are you two gonna be taking classes here like me? What's your names?"

Oddity High, 7:45

A shortish, thinnish teenager with pale blue, almost white, eyes approaches the building on foot, his brown hair blowing in the wind in a way that he probably thinks looks dashing but in fact looks slightly derpy. As he looks around the campus, he sees the group of other teenagers.

Well, this is a... place.

He sees the three people seemingly having just started a conversation with each other, and decides to go check it out.

Hey there! I'm Loki, he says affably. Yes, that Loki... well, maybe. I could just be insane. Who are you guys?

Mindy put her backpack down and leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, observing some of the students interacting with each other, with a few of them being all perky, like that Gill guy or that Mimi. She just kinds of scoffs at them as seeing that cheeriness is enough to want to make her gag. But still, while she wasn't in the mood to have a full-on conversation with any of them, or at least not right now, she still figured she should at least introduce herself should someone approach her, even if she would rather be distant from everyone, just to show she can be courteous. Just say her simple little piece, get it over with and no one gets hurt.

Nicholas Myers

"...huh."

Yet another student shuffled up to the front of the school, and while he was far from the most weird, he was definitely the most uncanny. Gray skin, hair that was somewhere between blond and green, blank white eyes like a corpse.

Which, incidentally, was what he was.

Something in his pocket buzzed—oh, right, his phone. He kept forgetting how small phones had gotten. Or that they had screens. Or...well, everything about 2018 phones. He fished it out of his pocket. A message from Regan.

sup Nick, it's me, resident death witch and epic-level necromancer
how's it? met anyone interesting

Slowly—slowly—Nicholas typed a response.

no

The replies came fast.

well you had better start >:(
i didn't tell you to go to this school for nothing
text me all the interesting bits
oh wait gotta go class is startng
ttyl

"School hasn't started yet," Nicholas murmured, placing his phone back in his pocket. He didn't bother texting Regan to explain that; Nicholas didn't care enough, and Regan could get very tunnel-visiony when it came to his interests.

He looked around. Most everyone else was engrossed in conversation, probably about normal school things like math and English and whatever else they taught in school these days. Except one person, with light brown hair and...and...actually, they were very generic.

Oh well. No harm in approaching them.

Nicholas headed up to them. "Hi," he said.

"Kept me waiting, haven’t you? Tch. No matter. Dawdle all you’d like. In the end, your defeat remains inevitable."

Mimi

“Emilia Munroe,” the pastel-coloured girl automatically said in response to Gil, jarringly flat in her tone before she turned to him properly and smiled in a perky (^-^) manner. “She's called Mimi, though...~! Lovely to meet you...!”

There were a lot of footsteps about, and her form was... rippling slightly, like gelatine. Making a woozy noise, she suddenly gripped onto the nearest person—likely Kayden or Gil depending on whoever was within her reach.

”Dizzy... hehe...~! Mimi's a little nervous... feeling shaky...!”

Or overwhelmed, rather. It was mostly since they were outside too, what with cars passing by and such. It was a lot of information to interpret, and only one real sense to interpret it with? So she focused instead on keeping her form in one piece, and hoped the others bought her explanation enough for her to cling to them.

7:47 — Val Null

The arrival of the tenth student was silent. They had chosen to walk—stepping out of a car would have drawn too much attention to themselves.

Were anyone to notice this student, they would see that they were wearing a hoodie, with the hood up and drawn closed so as to completely obscure their face, along with gloves, jeans, and boots that completely covered every other part of their body. They would also be able to tell through body language that this student was extremely nervous.

There are already so many people here... Val thought. Class doesn't start for fifteen minutes... They decided to simply stand off to the side, and if anyone noticed and engaged them...well, they'd deal with that when it came up.

“What's your name? Are you excited for school too... ~? Mimi's a good girl, so she's going to a good school...! Is that why you're here...?”

"Uh, I mean..." The fact is that there'd been no end of debate/arguing between Kayden's parents over whether or not there were better schools out there that Kayden could go to. The final consensus was that this was the best chance he had of being somewhere where he could be free of secrecy. So now here he was, shaking hands with this weird girl...with the clearly blind eyes...and slick sticky handshake...and shiny skin like a barbie doll...

“Mama and Papa said this school's for people like Mimi...~! She doesn't know what that means, but she's happy...!”

"...Well, that's, ah...says a lot about the both of us." Jesus god, what had Kay gotten himself into? And oh, here comes that older pretty boy aaaand he's making direct conversation now. A LOT of direct conversation, and all at once too. Oh look, here's somebody else, with a face, hair and nose that made Kay think of a brunette Adam Driver.

Yes, that Loki... well, maybe. I could just be insane.

Kayden laughed a little too loudly at that. His grin said he was amused, but his eyes said 'I need an adult'. Up came another boy, normal and casual but VERY pale looking, and then Mimi swayed to the side suddenly. Seeing the ripples on her flesh, not sure if they were a trick of the light or not, Kay instinctively ducked out of the way so she'd grab onto Gill instead.

”Dizzy... hehe...~! Mimi's a little nervous... feeling shaky...!”

"'Chyeah, you and me both..."

Kay's fears of being cut up by the government were forgotten. The biggest fear in his mind right now was that he'd just signed to a special school with a bunch of freaks...and the worst thing about it was that he probably fit right at home.

"The name's Kayden," he said at last. "I'm guessing we're all here because of that 'school for supernatural' pamphlet thing?

Outside Oddity High

Gill made a friendly wave at the other few who had arrived, before turning his attention back towards Mimi.

"Mimi, that's a nice name, I like it!" he exclaimed. He gasped when she lost her footing, moving to grab onto the nearest person... which was him!

Instinctively, he moved to wrap his arms around her to hold her steady. Upon having this strong physical contact, Gill immediately noticed that her form was soft and pliable, like that of an octopus. He liked octopi. They were smart and made great conversationalists. Not to mention they were cuddlebugs. He liked cuddles.

Gill giggled slightly, then held her up straight and let go, still standing closely to her and looking down at her.

"I get it, I'm a little dizzy too. This is a big day. But it's gonna be fun, y'know? My head's swimming with all the questions I wanna ask! And so many answers to questions I didn't even know I wanted to know!"

Laughing a little more, he looked back towards Kayden, tilting his head inquisitively at his question.

"I don't know about supernatural anything, but I'm going here to this school because I'm gonna learn everything I can! And it's what us humans do! This is gonna be great! And then I'm gonna tell all my friends back home!"

Mimi

“You caught her...!” Mimi said as if somehow surprised by this outcome, hugging Gill briefly before pulling away as her balance was restored. Good, he was still hanging around close to her. If she suffered sensory overload again she could use him as a prop once more. “You're nice...! Mimi likes you...~ (^-^)

Kayden seemed wary, and so she hummed in entertainment of his question. She decided to tone it down a little, too, as it was clear even to her that she was driving him away.

“Mimi didn't see any pamphlets, since Mama and Papa set it all up. She just knows it's a new school, and she's here because she's a good girl who deserves it...~” she smiled in a more subdued fashion now, her gaze drifting blankly ahead as she brushed her hair behind her ear. “It's smaller, too... she won't get so dizzy here...”

Kayden cocked an eyebrow at the middle part of that statement. Things just got a lot more interesting. With a cocky smile, he folded his arms and looked Gill up and down.

"'What us humans do'... Veeeeery interesting choice of words there, 'fellow human being'."

His grin said he was amused, but his eyes said "I need an adult."

Noticing this, Loki tried his best to look not-insane, but all he could think of is the song "Wow I'm Not Crazy" by AJR, which made him grin for some reason. Not exactly helping, he imagined. (How does he even know that song?...)

Then he looked over at Gill. Something about him reminded him of Balder, or at least the idea of Balder he had in his mind, which may or may not come from experience (possibly insane, remember?). Probably the way he came off as so annoyingly perfect... Loki felt a pang of guilt. Do people who think they're gods or famous people feel guilty for what those people have done? He'd have to look it up sometime.

I'm guessing we're all here because of that 'school for supernatural' pamphlet thing?

That's right! I figure that, insane or not, I've definitely got some sort of power. To prove this, he briefly shapeshifts to look like a completely different person before returning to normal. What about you, Kayden? What kind of stuff can you do?

Gill grinned, nodding as Mimi gave him a friendly compliment. His attention turned back towards Kayden as he gave Gill an interesting look followed by some rather suspect replies. Gill, for what it's worth, smiled and gave Kayden an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

"I'm glad you think I'm interesting! I think you're all super fascinating myself! All of you are, this whole school is fascinating and I haven't even gotten in the building yet!"

He hopped up on his toes a couple times like a happy but impatient child, moving towards the window and looking inside, all the while completely missing Loki's transformation.

"Do you think they'll open it up soon? Oh man, I can't wait!" He turned, noticing that a few more people had arrived while he was engaged with Mimi and Kayden. "Oh hi there!!" he excitedly said. "I'm Gill. And what kind of things can we do? Well, I can sing," he told the new guy. With a twirl, he walked back towards Kayden, Mimi and Loki.

"And it's suuuch a won-der-ful daaay~!" he sang, his voice taking on a surprisingly melodious resonance to it in that one word of song. With a chuckle, he turned his attention back to the other students.

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.

Mindy looks at the others conversing with each other. She decided she might as well get it over with and put herself out there, even though she's not really feeling like doing any small talk. She approaches the other students, still with the scowl on her face, but this time, it has softened up.

"Hi, how you doin'? I'm Mindy and I'm new here."

Mimi

Mimi clapped happily at Gill's singing, her form rippling slightly again but overall with a more pleased reaction than before. She in fact squinted at him for a moment, as if trying to dissect what made him tick—before smiling, turning her head towards a new voice as she waved over to Mindy.

“Hihi, Mindy~! Say hi to Mimi. She's very excited for today... and...”

She paused, only now realising that the question asking what they could do probably extended to her too. But her parents' stern instruction before she stepped out of the car came to mind, and she pouted almost tearfully as she childishly stomped her foot in frustration.

“Mimi can't show you yet...! She has to wait until we're in private... it'd be bad if people saw what she can do now...”

‘Now’?

She huffed regardless and crossed her arms, still pouting in a very prominent manner.

Oddity High

'Why did I decide to do this? What am I gonna do? I've never even talked with kids my age, they're all gonna hate me... and what if this is really a scam? At least there won't be too many people looking at me either way.'

Trying her best to be inconspicuous as she got out of the back of a very conspicuous limousine, was a small girl in an oversized hoodie with the hood up, and sunglasses obscuring the top half of her face. The only part of her pale skin that was actually exposed was the area around her mouth. She was even wearing gloves. Never mind that it was late August and she was sweating like crazy, only partially from the heat.

She counted ten other students immediately. They were scattered around the area and she hadn't once turned her head, but nothing escaped her sight. Ten whole people? For her, who had never even been around 5 other people at a time, that seemed like a terrifying amount. She was going to blow this, she knew it.

No. Focus! If she got distracted, she'd lose control of her eyes and everyone would see how much of a freak she was. Iris Langley sighed and stood frozen in place as her limo drove away, too nervous to take the first step.

Finding it a little tricky to speak up with the cheerful conversations and introductions, Robin quietly listened while glancing at the time-table and other new arrivals with Val catching their attention for a moment. ...Guess some people probably weren't terribly social...yet the youth still gave a friendly wave and smile to Val nonetheless before turning back at the group, nodding at Mindy.

"You're new here too? I'm kind of in the same boat, it's really the only school nearby so..."

Although Robin got somewhat cut off as they noticed Loki transforming at how...unsettling that was and Gill's singing which, wow, it took a few moments to focus again and only to get distracted again by Iris's classy entrance. Seemed a little odd being so overdressed in this weather but considering some of the things he'd been hearing...maybe she had ice powers or something?

"Good morning!"

Then...they finally noticed Nicholas walking over and sheepishly rubbed their neck, a little embarrassed. So much stuff going on already.

"Ah, sorry, sorry! Hey!" Robin apologized, giving a small smile. "Name's Robin. It's nice to meet you!"

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.
