The blush returned to Teej's features at the teasing from Erryn, finding he may as well get used to such occurrences happening. Usually, when someone found they could fluster the poor boy so easily, it became a game to do so. “Ah, it's okay. I didn't mean it like that. I mean, I meant it, but not in that kind of way. Like, an observation,” he tried to explain, assuming he was being teased, but not wanting to appear rude. He listened to the explanation of Erryn's desire to experience technology and machinery, despite the pain it would probably cause him. He nodded once, relaxing again. “All right. Then I'll help you. I can show you how to dismantle things and teach you what does what. Be if it hurts too much, we have to stop,” he stipulated. It wasn't hard to get Teej to do things, even those he was wary about. So was his desire to please. At least in Erryn's case, he saw the logic in his words.

Before Teej could even attempt the sign, Cusinth explained it's real meaning, causing the youth to widen his eyes a bit and look at Erryn. “Aw, man. You'd do that to me?” he asked in mock hurt, downplaying it as best he could so as not to get flustered. He grinned to show his teasing and turned to Cusinth with a nod. “I'd like to learn. I'll make time in my schedule so you can teach me. We can talk about it later.” He was excited by the prospect of learning a new language, knowing only the one he was speaking now. It could almost be like speaking in code, a childish fantasy he always thought to be fun.

“Oh, that's cool. I mean, everything. Using your magic for good, making sure people don't break the law, having a King Cheetah's spirit inside you,” he said in awe, his green eyes bright in intrigue and excitement. So many new people with so many stories, origins, and beings. And he was more than happy to listen to anyone who wished to share them with him.

As he stood, deciding perhaps they should head out the door, Fallon approached and his grinned down at her. “Hi, Fallon!” he greeted as Erryn and Cusinth introduced themselves to her. He thought about the club, and how crowded it would be. He wasn't the most confident dancer, but if they wanted him to go, then he would. “Yeah, I'll come too,” he agreed, following along dutifully toward the dorms, trying to remember the way. “I have to unpack too anyway. Maybe my roommate showed up while we were at the ceremony,” he suggested, perching his bag over one shoulder and holding onto the strap tightly.

"So, if I may Ask what kind of thing do you two think you'll be doing for the Talent Showcase?I'm doing a magic style concert" she laughed a bit at Teej when he got flustered "Hey Take it easy, I don't want to be up all night you guys" she then proceeded to making Moaning noises as a real laugh left her mouth "Nah I'm just giving ya a hard time, I probably wouldn't hear you anyways, I sleep like a rock"

coming up on the Garden "This place is a pretty popular place to Hang out, we actually hold classes out here sometimes, for those in the Magic and Self Defense classes, occasionally the Healing Arts classes will be out here as well. And just over there is the Dorms" she pointed to a huge red brick building with a single tower plated almost entirely in glass.

"I'll let You guys find your room while I go to mine and sort out a few things, i'll only be a few minutes, after all Unpacking is Easy with A little bit of Magic" she winked "I'll be in room 106 if you want to find me."

(Dorm Building)

Violet was already out of the auditorium and she was a bit hungry when she left. She heard familiar and new voices behind her.
Violet turned around and saw Fallon, Teej and two other people she had never saw before. She smiled then she waited for them to catch up.
She was right outside of the dorm building. Violet saw that they were getting closer then she started to hum a song nervously.
As she hummed her books fell when she wasn't paying attention. She had her drawing and reading books cradled in both of her arms.
Now, they were scattered across the ground. She bent down to start picking them up then she saw her drawing book was missing. Or at least she couldn't find it.
Violet frowned and blushed. She thought her drawings were amateurish and bad so she was afraid if someone took it or if she could never draw on it.
It was given to her a day before her mother had died of a very bad disease. She sighed and a few tears fell from her eyes.
Violet sniffled and stopped crying when she finally stood up with her eyes closed, trying to keep the tears in.

Erryn wasn't quite sure what he should be doing, but he followed along with Teej. He figured, why not. And then he realized. He pulled on Teej's shirt sleeve to get his attention. Your roommate never showed up! He pointed to himself and Cusinth. We just showed up! He looked over his shoulder at his partner, obviously making it clear what he was thinking.

Talent! I have a talent. I can make Cusinth turn into a dog. I am quite the...charmer when it comes to people. I have great aim when it comes to weapons... None of those are good talents, he admitted as he kept following along. I am silent during sex? he teased, just to make Teej blush, I can tie a cherry stem with my teeth...

Cusinth rolled his eyes as he followed along, speaking for his young partner. "I am simply his bodyguard. If he wishes to make a fool of himself on stage, I will stand behind the scenes and laugh at him," he said, but then he saw that Fallon's friend had dropped her papers, and without pausing in speaking as Erryn signed, he knelt down and helped her pick up her books. He handed them to her before he stood, watching as she seemed to be upset about something. Chivalry wasn't quite dead, not even with Cusinth, and he reached into his breast pocket and removed his handkerchief, handing it to the young woman. "Sometimes it is best to allow the emotion to run its course," he offered quietly but would not speak further. Not about to humiliate the girl in front of her peers.

Cusinth shook his head at Fallon. Her use of magic versus Erryn and his use of magic seemed to be night and day. While the two men used their magic quietly, she used it openly. He shrugged. He supposed it was all the difference of generations and parentage. Sylvani would never have allowed Erryn to become dependent on his magic for menial tasks. "Teej, Erryn," he said, reaching around to grasp at Erryn's hands, stilling them. It was the same gesture as if he had reached around and covered the other's mouth. It stopped him from rambling. "I think that we should get inside and get our things unpacked. While you all want to socialize, it would be the most logical course of action if you were to socialize after everything was unpacked. That way, if you are missing something, we have time to go into town and procure it." He let go of Erryn's wrists.

Erryn rubbed at his wrists, glaring at his Hound. Rude, he signed before he turned back to Teej. Anyway, Roommates. It will be awesome, he said. He looked over his shoulder and saw Violet, waving to her. Erryn he signed while he pointed to himself before he would try to get Teej to understand him without Cusinth interpreting.

The Hound shook his head at his young man's antics. It was good to see him acting like his age. "That is Erryn," he said, gesturing to the man that was talking with Teej. "I am Cusinth, his interpreter and guard. Are you feeling all right now?" he asked her, walking slower but he would not allow Erryn to enter the building without him. His pace was always enough to give the boy room, but never giving him a chance to be harmed.

Violet jumped a little and opened her eyes. She stopped crying and she shyly smiled as the new boy she had just seen a minute ago gave her a handkerchief.
"I am V-Violet... N-nice to meet you Cusinth..." She said before she frowned again. She sighed and remembered that she had lost her book with all of her drawings and memories inside.
Violet smiled a little bit shyly as she waved back at Erryn. She shook her head when Cusinth asked if she was okay.
"I-I lost my drawing book. I-it is very special to me." Violet told Cusinth before she had a few tears fall from her eyes again. She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief he gave her.

Teej followed along with Fallon as she led the way to the dorm rooms. He felt the tug on his sleeve and looked over at him, wondering what was on his mind. "Oh! You think, maybe you guys are my roommates?" he asked, his smile widening at the thought of already being friendly with his roommates and not having to worry if they hadn't liked him. "I hope so, it'd make things a lot easier." He hung close to the group, memorizing the path in the opposite direction so that he would not get confused.

"Oh, I won't be in the talent show," Teej explained to them. "My talents aren't really things like that to be showcased. No one wants to watch me take apart a carborator, then put it back together," he continued, teasing himself. Sure, he could technically display one of his inventions, but he couldn't be sure it would be ready in time. He blushed as Fallon began moaning and Erryn started signing about sex and sexual innuendos. He sighed heavily, feeling the constant rushes of blood to his head giving him a headache. He had some medicine back in his suitcase and he'd grab it before unpacking. He noticed Violet to be upset about something, and was a bit relieved when it seemed Cusinth was speaking with her, handing her his handkerchief. He was about to talk to Erryn some more when they were stopped by his interpreter. It made sense to him, going in to unpack before continuing their discussions and he nodded his head quickly, showing he understood and would follow the advice.

The grin was back on his face in a moment as Erryn took up speaking to him again, after calling Cusinth rude. "To be fair though, we'd probably still be talking. I'd probably be rambling," he said with a shrug. "I know, rooming with you is going to be awesome. It's going to be easier to show you my technology and things too." A smile crept on his face as he watched the signing and listened to the repeated words again. "You know, I think I at least know the sign for you name. That's a start!" he said enthusiastically. Still, he would have a long way to go before he could hold a conversation with the other without the need of Cusinth's help.

"Hey, Violet. Don't cry, okay?" he said reassuringly, his headache beginning to pound in his head, though he tried to ignore it for now. "I can help you find it after. Maybe you left it in the auditorium? Or someone brought it to the lost and found, wherever that is," he offered, but couldn't do more than that at the moment. His head was killing him now.

After Fallon left Lyla to talk to other friends Lyla went back to her dorm room. Lyla's roommate wasn't here and Lyla did feel like unpacking even though it would have been a good idea to get it done and over with. Lyla just put her book bag on the bed she chose took the book she was reading earlier out and left outside to find a tree.

Natalie was leaning against the doorway to the auditorium listening to the announcments.She'd managed to find her way, with the help of another student, just in time to hear the ceremony start. A talent show eh...I might join. She thought to herself while stepping out of the way as people began exiting the building. Sighing to herself, Natalie rubbed at the back of her head a bit. Her headache had escalated within the past few minutes, causing her eyes to sting a bit. Quiet place to think, quiet place to think. Alright let's see what I can find. She thought to herself before making her way around several people. Sadly she couldn't make it out of the crowd and was instead pushed forward heading back towards the dorm building.

Shaking her head a bit, Natalie simply followed deciding she could lay down in her room. It would hopefully clear away her headache, and if not, then she could always go for a run. That always helped her. With those thoughts in mind, Natalie looked forward once more, brushing a lock of hair away from her eyes as she looked around hoping to memorize the way to and from the dorms.

Cusinth was much more at ease with a woman’s tears than Teej seemed to be. Then again, he was Sylvani Drwgg’s hound and he had seen her through many years of happiness and tragedy. He saw that she was not as put together as he would have hoped and he reached out and gently touched her shoulder. “M’dear,” he paused. It was a slippery slope talking to young females and while he looked like he was in his mid-twenties, he was far far older than that. “How about you accompany Teej, Erryn and myself and give us five minutes to unpack our things and then we will retrace your steps and search for your artbook,” he offered.

Erryn sighed and looked over at Teej. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a small notebook and scrawled a note into it, before he held it up for Teej to read. He’s distracted, so he can’t translate. She’s upset because she lost her artbook? he wrinkled his nose but shrugged. He tugged on Teej’s sleeve, and then shrugged. Guess we should help. I don’t like people crying. Kind of annoys me. I’d rather just fix the problem instead of whine over it, he wrote, making sure that only Teej could see what was written down.

Cusinth reached back and snagged Erryn’s arm, tugging him forward. “Erryn, stand by this young Lady. She’s greatly upset as she has lost something precious to her. How would you feel if you lost your father’s earring?” he questioned, pointing to the earring that pierced through Erryn’s left ear. The boy only snorted.

It’s the equivalent of my father’s wedding ring, he pointed out before he shrugged and moved back to the girl that seemed ill at ease. Hey, it’ll be okay, he wrote in a clean piece of paper. You want us to help you find your lost---thing? We will. Teej always said that he’d help. Cusinth’s a bleeding heart, which means I’m stuck helping, he wrote, flipping to a new page to write so that Cusinth could go and speak to Teej.

The older Hound moved to Teej and lightly touched his shoulder, leaning in close. “Forgive me,” he spoke softly. “You are free to dismiss me if you’d like but is something the matter?”

Violet smiled when she learned that they would help her find her art book. She stopped crying then she said, "Thank you..." Violet saw that Teej seemed like he was in pain so she frowned a bit and asked, "Are you alright Teej? You seem like you are in pain." She walked closer to Teej and started to guess what happened. "Its a headache isn't it?" Violet asked Teej with a soft voice so she didn't make it worse if she was correct.

Before Teej could make any answer, he heard a shout from across the lawn. The voice was unmistakable as his sister, Kali, came strolling up the lawn, ignoring everyone but the tall youth before her. “Teej, we're leaving now,” she said, continuing on before he could ask any questions. “Look, you're needed back at the garage. Some asshole wants to talk to you. From Cryo something or other.”

“Cryo Tech?!” he asked in excitement, nearly bouncing up and down. “Cryo Tech wants to talk to me!” he exclaimed again, his headache throbbing, but diminished under the excitement of getting into the big name corporation. He rushed to his dorm room to grab his suitcase and came back out in a hurry, dry swallowing the pills he fished out. He turned to Erryn and smiled wide, not able to contain himself and hugging his friend. “This is so awesome!” He grabbed out a notebook and jotted down his number, handing it to those around him. “Sorry, but this is a huge deal for me. Text me or something, maybe we can hang out some time.” He cast a final wave as he headed away from the school, Kali swearing under her breath that she would get him a refund for what he paid somehow.

A mere few moments after Teej's departure, a tall woman with curly, dark hair came walking into the yard, her skirt moving in the wind as she stopped in front of Erryn and Cusinth, her smile brightening when she saw her nephew and his guardian. She raised her hand to stop the questions before speaking. “I know, I shouldn't be here right now, but it seems there was a mistake in your application forms,” she explained, silently blaming Donovan for grabbing the wrong forms. “It seems you haven't yet unpacked. Good. Follow me now. We're going to go home and I will be tutoring you. As for the socialization...” she said, letting the subject hang for a moment. “Perhaps we can find some sort of group for you to join. Now, come along,” she said, turning and walking back the way she had come, knowing the young men behind her well enough to know they would not question her word and would follow along dutifully.

Erryn stopped, his brows furrowing as Violet didn't speak to him and instead moved to Teej. He looked at Cusinth and signed quickly What got her panties in a twist? he asked. Then this vibrant red-head was coming up, and he felt his spine straighten, and he had to fight the urge to hide behind Cusinth. His Hound, instead, stepped behind him. Jerk, he signed. Big jerk, he said before he heard what Kali had to say, and he looked bemused as the realization came that Teej was having the chance of a lifetime. He hugged his friend tight and kissed his cheek. Good Luck, he said before he hugged him again. Not that you'll need it. Kick ass, Teej, he signed, pulling away. He watched as Teej left, looked down to the dirt and scuffed his shoe, kicking up a rock. Well, damn... he was cool he signed to Cusinth.

Then, the voice of an angel washed over him. He looked up, blinking, when he saw that it was his aunt. He leapt into her arms, wrapped her into a hug and kissed her cheek. I thought you were really going to leave me here! he said, making it clear that he had been hoping against hope that his family would reconsider sending him away. He didn't like it when he was too far away from them, and the school was bound to have messed with his mind a little bit. He reached behind him to grab Cusinth's hand or tried. Instead, his guard shifted into his true form, a large black hound. He trotted up to Pandora and barked at her, before he walked beside her. Erryn looked at Violet. Sorry about your book, he said. Hope you find it but... I gotta go. That's my Aunt and if she's here. It means that I get to go home, he waved goodbye. Unlike Teej, he didn't promise to stay in touch, or ask that people call him. He had one goal in mind, he saw his Aunt walk away and he ran after her, his suitcase banging against his leg until he could catch up with her. He wrapped his arms around her again to give her another hug, and then set off towards home.

Izumi was slightly disappointed when Cara said she wouldn't be her roommate. Oh well, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna hang out with her, Izumi thought. "We should do something tonight, go out and have...fun, you know?" she said. "It'd be better than staying in here all the time. This town is huge so I'm sure there will be something for us to do." Izumi smirked. "What do you say?"

Cara nodded and smiled. "sounds good to me. " she was pleased to have found a friend. Bones clicked his jaw and Cara paused. "you wont mind if he tags along will you? he has to go where i go." she sighed. "but he keeps muggers and the like away." she smiled attempting a small joke.

(OOC -- Once again! Sorry I havent posted! I'm just going to randomly bump into someone! Sorry!)

Daemyn was bumped into a few people on the way back to his dorm room. "Alright, it seeems like there are way more people this year than last." He twisted the knob to his dorm room and entered, looking around. "Yo! Anyone here? Or do I get a room to myself again this year." Daemyn sighed as no one answered and ran his fingers through his hair. This ... is ... perfect ... he thought, as he looked around once more. "Oh well, I guess I'll just walk around a bit."

Daemyn was walking around a bit when he bumped into two girls. "Pardon me." He looked up and saw one of the girls had a bone-like creature with her. "Woh."

Fallon heard the commotion from Teej's room and ran to see what was going on.

when she arrived there was w tall red headed woman telling Teej to grab his things and that she was taking him back home "Stop!, I don't know who you are Lady but Teej belongs here just as much as any one of the rest of us, I know I just met him but I know enough about him to know he belongs here with the rest of us." she was being defensive because she didn't want to lose friends.

'I'm sure even Headmaster Takai would agree with me on this matter, and besdes who are you to take him away from somewhere before he's even gotten used to it, After he's made friends?"

Cara looked at the boy who bumped into her and Izumi and laughed lightly. "he's not as scary as he looks." she shrugged. "i promise."
bones clicked his jaw and his feathers ruffled. Cara rolled her eyes. "lay off bones..." she grumbled. "really."

Lyla sat in a tree again reading then noticed to other girls talking with a boy. One girl had a skeleton with her but that didn't seem to surprise Lyla. "This a weird place," Lyla thought to herself then her sharp cat hearing heard Fallon yelling at someone in the dorm. "What has that girl got herself into now," Lyla muttered then rushed into the dorm to where she heard Fallon.

"I don't mind at all" Izumi said. Looking at Bones once more she added, "In fact I kind of feel used to him already." The corners of her mouth twitched up into a small smirk. It was then that a boy bumped into her and Cara. He seemed a bit surprised at the sight of Bones which made Izumi want to laugh but she remained her same cool self. She glanced at the boy quickly. By the looks of things, the boy is a neko. "I wonder what other...beings are in this school" Izumi wondered aloud.

Cara grinned. "oh well im glad. most people are afraid of him and it makes things awkward." she sighed. "but ah well." she laughed lightly. she looked at bones and he clicked his jaw. she rolled her eyes.

Daemyn looked the boney creature up and down and even did a quick circle around it. "Wow. I've never seen anything like this before," he said, nonchalantly. Then he looked over to the smaller girl, Cara. "I'm guessing he's yours?" But his eyes went straight back to the boney thing. "Bones, huh," he said quietly to himself before scratching behind his ear with his tail. Daemyn shoved his hand out of his pocket and thrust it at the girl. "The name is Daemyn Lord. Official no one of the school. Everyone hates my guts or doesn't look at me, pretends I'm invisible. If you wish to do the same, I will walk away now."

Cara laughed lightly and shook Daemyn's hand. "i don't hate you or think your invisible." she grinned lightly. she looked at bones who was standing there like a strange statue. "you can hang out with us if you want... i mean." she looked at izumi. "do you mind?" she asked her.

Izumi shrugged. "Fine with me. You know what they say, the more the merrier" she said nonchalantly. "I'm Izumi, by the way" she said to Daemyn. "I guess we make quite a group here, huh?" Izumi said. She then heard a little grumble coming from her stomach. "I'm hungry" she announced to no one in particular. "Let's go get something to eat" she told Daemyn and Cara. Izumi turned around and began walking away to find a place to eat without bothering to see if she was being followed by the two.

{ignore this-double post}

"Hi," Daemyn said, giving a quick wave to Izumi. "Yeah, I guess I'm hungry to ..." He started to follow thegirl before looking back at Cara. "You comin'? And I've gotta question about Bones over there," he said, studying Bones some more, "Does he ... or it, ever have to eat?"
