[IC] Aurora University for the Preternaturally Gifted

[Felicity]

Polly frowned at Blackadder. "It's probably called a tail, it's rude to call anything a protrusion." As if to show how to act herself she turned to Shaun. "It's a shame to hear about your school and clan but I'm sure things will be better here."

[LucidRain]

"My clan...is called the Silverfangs...we're from a few cities east of here. We were really reclusive...didn't like humans very much... didn't allow cubs interacting with humans at all." Shaun yawned and drank a little from his coffee cup. "We were really territorial as well...so we had fights with other clans a lot... I didn't like fighting so I ended up here..." He looked around a bit. "I was hoping no-one here knew me... I didn't tell them where I was going..."

He heeded Edmund's advice and stuffed his tail inside his shirt, though gray hair stuck out here and there. "And yeah...it's a tail...along with the ears it's part of being a werewolf..."

"Thanks...I hope I do find things better here too..." He said to Polly.

Aiko has just been listening while this all went on. While her family was hardly estranged from the supernatural world, they dealt mostly with Japanese myths. This was all rather interesting. She has removed the thermos she mentioned earlier from her bag at some point and just sips some tea.

 

Lots of things I've never seen before here...

Huh. A bit tame really, not even any embodiments of malice or eldritch pseudo-deities. 

Do I want to know?

Not if you value your sanity.

[Chevaleresse]

The massive iron gates creaked open - outward, actually, though fortunately a gentle but very insistent magical force slid them back out of the path of the mass of iron. It revealed a group of about fifteen folder-toting individuals, ranging from decidedly mundane-looking people who were presumably mages of some variety to somewhat more exotic anthropomorphic spirits to what appeared to be an unholy hybrid between a human skeleton and a wheel; a skeleton body with a bony wheel oriented along the direction of motion, complete with sinister spikes. This particular individual was wearing a stereotypical anime school uniform, complete with too-short skirt and a set of purple pigtails glued to their skull. Each person's folder was also marked with a number; the one marked with a twelve was rather more palatable.

 

A well-endowed girl in a very light - nearly white - pink dress with a blue vest overtop waves her folder toward the group that had already gathered. She also has pigtails, though more reasonably proportioned and of a red-pink color, matching her eyes. "Oh, hey, good to see you're all in a group already. Saves me the work." She flipped open her folder and passed out a few sheets. "Alright, first thing's first. I want to officially welcome you guys to Aurora University. Don't worry about the whole masquarade thing by the way, the President put up a temporary ward to keep all the mortals out of here. We've got all sorts of staff on hand to deal with magical emergencies and all that, and if you've got any special dietary requirements or what have you and you didn't fill them out on your registration, we'll pass the health office on the tour. These sheets are just a way for me to figure out how to direct all the discussion; they're just some information about your name, preferred pronouns, planned major, and what's on your schedule. If you'll just follow me over here, I've got pens and stuff to give you to fill it out with." She waited for the group to gather around her a bit more, and then walked into the campus. 

 

There was a briefly uncomfortable feeling as you crossed the border into the campus; the world seemed to stretch a bit; afterward, the buildings inside definitely looked more like what you'd expect from a magical campus, with architecture that looked like it came from twenty different time periods, complete with a classic wizard's tower, pointy roof and all. The pink-haired girl led you to an odd sort of circular stone bench; the seats faced inward, with a slot on one side to allow one to actually get in and out. On the outer ring was what looked like an alchemical garden. "Don't touch the plants, by the way. Some of them bite, and I really don't feel like escorting you to the afterlife today."

 

Pick 3-5 classes. Coordinate with the other players on Discord to get a good mixture of shared classes. 

[Yours Truly]

Edmund's response to Polly was rather swiftly interrupted by the gates of the university finally opening, and he tries his best to not stare at the more supernatural folder carriers. He would breathe a sigh of relief as he saw that the group's leader had pretty much nothing to rudely stare at, or at the very least nothing that he hasn't seen before anyway.
Edmund filled in the sheets with the information he was asked to provide; it was a rather small amount of information as he didn't exactly have any weirdness other than his wizard powers, which is why he simply written down his name "Edmund Blackadder The Twentieth.", his pronoun of choice "Male", and the classes he had been planning to take "Chemistry since isn't that basically Alchemy but respectable?, Wizardry/Magic since.....he is a wizard, Musical studies since he wants to learn how to play a new instrument, Necromancy since that is his major, and finally Fencing since he had always been curious".
He noticed the wizard's tower, and he looked forward to entering it someday, and probably dodging the many, many traps that the movies say all old Wizard towers have.
After a good long while of looking at the various buildings inside of the campus, he finally asks the folder carrying group leader "So uh...may I ask for your name Miss?".

Rocky experienced a twinge of worry over that last comment. Logically he shouldn't worry about it being a soul other than the previous occupants of his parts but supernatural people have a rep for being dickishly rule abiding. He smirks as he fills in his law enforcement classes. He also adds a magic class and psychology class to round it out.

[Rec4lls]

Appearing from the sidelines, out of sight or at least from conscious acknowledgement, a certain winged boy takes a moment to fold his wings and figure out how best to sit on the stone bench. Afterwards, Seong calmly takes a pen and fills out a sheet. Starting with his name, written in Hangul, he bites his lip over the "preferred pronouns" part, trying to decipher the words, before just deciding to put in a male symbol. He chews on what to put next on there for a minute, before sheepishly raising his paper. "Does anyone can help me read this? I am not so good at English."

[Cool Girl]

Exorcia picks up the paper and pen. She writes her full name: Exorcia Miranda. She then write on pronoun: Exorcia just call me anything really. She decides to write down the classes she wants to take: magic, martial arts, chemistry, biology, and music. She also that right now at the moment, she doesn't have a planned major.

[Felicity]

Polly quickly runs through the form. Fashion as a major with magic, biology, history and chemistry filling out the rest of her time. Some were aimed at supporting her major, others were just sheer curiosity. Not that it mattered. Her form was filled out within a minute. Then she heard someone asking for help with their form. When no one else offered help she stepped over. "You need help reading the form?"

[Daniel Blackworth]

William takes the pen in his hands and immediately jots down the classes that he wants on the form that was given to him. He indicates Magic as his major, while he also places History, Geography, Psychology, and Literature as the other subjects that he'd want to invest his time on. He is more interested in taking up the Academic subjects, in comparison to the other classes that were offered in Aurora Academy.

[LucidRain]

Hmm...I guess I should put down at least a few classes...

Shaun pulled out a pen from his pocket (the left one had a hole in it, tactfully mended by a few strings) and wrote out the sheet.

Magic...and in case invisibility is not available through magic...then Chemistry...and probably History as well. Probably...mathematics too...

He ticked the boxes for Magic, Chemistry and History. He briefly fell asleep, ticked another box he thought was mathematics, and handed his sheet in. Instead, the writing on the box had said 'martial arts'...

[Yours Truly]

Edmund respectfully handed the lady his form and said in an equally respectful tone of voice "Other than my Wizardry I am just a normal human, no real need for a special diet or health program".

He then glanced at the rather shy looking chap with the rather Asian look to his face "Exactly which parts of the form do you need help with? And my name is Blackadder, I fear that I have yet to find out what your name is.".

[IntSys]

Zoren takes out a writing brush from his clothes, looking fairly old. The tip gets drenched in ink as it lands on the form. He picks History as his major, and ticks Geography and Politics to catch everything in Social Studies. He thinks for a good ten seconds before ticking magic as well, out of curiosity. Finally, he writes his name as well as his preferred pronoun, He, on the sheet. Despite his seemingly elegant movement, his calligraphy is actually pretty mediocre, just enough to be readable. The ink immediately fades away when the tip leaves the sheet.

 

20 hours ago, Rec4lls said:

 "Does anyone can help me read this? I am not so good at English."

 

"Sure thing, Seong," he walks to the siren and begins translating the rest of the sheet into Korean for him, line by line, although with a lack of fluency.

[Rec4lls]

"Ah, much attention. So helpful." Seong laughs a little, before filling out his form with the help. He picks Music, Dance, Human Integration, and, after a quick consideration, also chooses Biology. He nods at his helpers. "What are you majoring in, Zoren, also mister Blackadder? I am 정 성민. Also, um..." He blinks a little. "I'm very, uh, very sorry. What is name, miss?"

[kj1225]

Rocky looks up at Seong. He makes a mental note to question why this dude doesn't know English that well if he's going to college in a mostly english speaking area. Or at least why he doesn't have an interpreter or something. He'd have to complain to the whoever runs to the school about not providing proper accommodations for foreign students. He contemplates asking if he'd have a problem with anyone for his interest in law enforcement. Apparently some people don't like them on principle and all...

[Powder Miner]

Chloe had since rejoined the group, now that her embarrassment had worn off, and she was dutifully filling out her sheet; Chloe chose Music, History, Magic, and a basic Sociology course.

[Felicity]

"Hi, I'm Polly. Half ghost fashionista, pleased to meet you!" Polly briskly introduced herself. This was going to be going for a little while. She did feela  little silly, rushing to help when two others did the same thing but hey, it's the thought that counts...?

[Twinwolf]

Aiko looks over the page for a bit. What was she even interested in? After a few minutes of consideration, she swiftly marked off "Psychology", "Magic", "History", and "Biology". "Hope these were the right ones... haven't managed to get the translation spell to work on text just yet..."

[Yours Truly]

To be brutally honest Edmund didn't really know how to pronounce the man's name properly, and that is why he said "It is nice to meet you Shyong".

He stood there and waited for everyone to finish writing in their sheets before asking in as polite of a tone he could muster "If I may ask....how many of you are taking of taking Music classes?".

[Chance99]

Omni produced a set of papers from their backpack, compared them to the form they were given, the smile which had been plastered on their face for a while now turning into a neutral expression as they ate the papers from their pack. They then ticked Magic, Biology, Martial Arts, Music, and Creative Writing, with Biology as their major. They deliberated for a while on the preferred pronouns and then just ticked Male. Omni handed the form back, and also this would be the point that they noticed that they had stopped keeping their skin pink without realizing. The slime person just let their body return to a transparent blue. Of course, the lack of anything inside save for some surface colors suggested that it was less transparency, and more of their skin bending light around.

 

"I'm taking Music! I'm guessing you are taking it too, right?"

[Yours Truly]

In response Blackadder's gaze lingered on his guitar for a moment before he said "Yeah, I was thinking of learning how to play an Electric Guitar at some point, seemed about as good of a time as any to start. What is it about music that interests you anyway?".

[ElfCollaborator]

Idunn confidently marks down Martial Arts, Music, Law, Creative Writing and Supernatural History on her sheet, handing it back in.

[Chance99]

"Well, humans- and humanoids- are the only creatures that use music outside of combat or courtship. I think that's weird and pretty cool!" Omni scratched the back of his ear, probably as emulation of humans than him actually itching,  "And you even have an entire science on how to produce sounds that are considered pleasing!"

 

Omni produced a smartphone from his pockets. "I keep a lot of human stuffs on my phone, stuffs like... movies and art, but also music," Omni started going through samples of his music, despite nobody asking him to. He skipped around from classical, folk music, something that sounded techno, and what seemed like the wailing of tormented hellbound souls while a cute feminine voice sang over them in Japanese.

 "Alright, guys and girls and everyone else, turn in those papers to me." The girl waited for a moment for the group to pass in their various papers, and collected them into a stack.  "So what we're going to do next is the obligatory 'go around the circle and introduce yourselves' thing. Just tell everyone your name, your preferred pronouns, your species, and one thing about yourself. I'll start, but don't mind me if I'm not paying all of my attention to you guys; I've gotta organize a list."

 

"I'm Aimi Fujiwara, I use she/her/hers pronouns, I'm a shinigami, and I'm one of the swim team captains here." After introducing herself, she pulled out another paper, and began to write notes down while ruffling through the stack she'd just acquired. 

[Powder Miner]

Chloe claps excitedly after Aimi gives her instructions, her sandy hair bouncing just a bit as she makes the cheerful, energetic movement.

"Right! My name is Chloe Kauai, I'mma girl so she," As she says this next part, Chloe's voice carries an unmistakable note of pride, and her pose changes so that she's standing with her chest jutting out a bit accordingly, "And what I am is a location spirit, and I'm the spirit of Kauai County, Hawaii!" Now, she puts her fingers on her chin, "One thing about myself, hummm... I am actually a very good surfer!"
