"Sigil Prep" RP - First Day (Monday, 10/1)

[nokvok]

((Davarioc, Sleeping Dragon Inn aka 'Food House'))
Like in slow motion the Orc turned, he huffed so that his nostrils fluttered, not looking at Likal but beyond. And for a few moments it looked like Davarioc would ignore him.
'Snort' something unappetizing is spat through the open door, the back of a hand wipes Davarioc's broad nose before he looks down thoughtfully. "Hmmm... that's me, right... Likhal." The pronunciation was a bit off, but he caught the name form before.

Somewhere In Front Of Where There Were At Least Some Classrooms

Tyrone found a place where he suspected his first class would be.

[davecom3]

Medina's mind starts to wander, though she continues to tickle Mana's feet as she muses over what might be in store for them. "Who knows what obstacles we'll have to face to get to our next class? The multiple types of traps that might be in store, fire, acid, pits, lava, and many more. Might even be one that disintegrates us if we're not careful. And the monsters that might stand in the way. Will there be dragons, basilisks, cockatrices? Who knows? Isn't it exciting?"

[Drayco]

Mana stirs a bit, her lightly tigery-furred catlike toes twitching. She then blinks awake, and with an eep at all the people around her, immediately curls up into a ball in the corner of the bed (also the corner of the room), her hands glowing faintly. "Please don't k-kill me... I-I'll defend myself!"

((...little more specific, Jesse?))

[davecom3]

"Huh? Who threatened to hurt you? They aren't going to hurt you if I have anything to say about it."

"I don't think it was one of the two of them, and I know it wasn't me," Medina turns to point to both Drayco and Selene. "They seemed to actually care about your well-being. I suppose they could be putting on an act, so they don't have to face me, but I don't think so. Who's the person who is scaring you? I'll make 'em leave, and I'll try and make it so they don't get a chance to hurt you. You're my roommate, and you're awesome."

[ChroniclerC]

... Humanoids. "I was gonna get something to eat. Care to join me? The roast pheasant is really quite good." Without really waiting for an answer, Likal started leading the orc towards a table near the bar.

Mana stirs a bit, her lightly tigery-furred catlike toes twitching. She then blinks awake, and with an eep at all the people around her, immediately curls up into a ball in the corner of the bed (also the corner of the room), her hands glowing faintly. "Please don't k-kill me... I-I'll defend myself!"

((...little more specific, Jesse?))

((Not too sure myself))

[nokvok]

((Davarioc, Sleeping Dragon Inn))
Davarioc remained in his posture for a few moments before turning and indeed following Likal. "That guy that just left... you know, with the ears... do they call him 'dog-ears'?" Aside from his name, Davarioc also remembered that Likal had been here for a year already.

[ChroniclerC]

Sleeping Dragon Inn
"You mean Ash?" Likal asked. "Yeah, I think that was him. Should be seeing him later today, though."

[Drayco]

((There's a building for almost every other major, and a few others. You know where most of them are. At least give me a detail or two please?))

3J? (I forgot the rooms already. ._.)

Mana blinks, and looks between those present... clearly she's confused by Medina's statement. "B-but... you're... you're all heroes... and you're a paladin... a-and I'm a demon..." She's still glowy and defensive.

"...oh. Okay, I get it now." Drayco says, with a laugh. "That's why you're freaked out. Don't worry about it, we're not that kinda people. Plus, Medina here is a kender, and if anyone can be a paladin and not be a jerk, it's her."

Mana looks at him, her guard lowering a little. She still looks very freaked out, though. "But..."

[davecom3]

Yes, 3J

"I don't know. You don't look much like a demon. If you are one, you must be really good at hiding your cloven hooves, your horns, and such. Can you do anything demonic for us to prove you actually are one? 'Cause I think somebody just insulted you, calling you a demon, and you thought they were actually being honest about it. You don't look anything like a demon to me. Just a strange combination of a kitty and a human. How does that work? Which of your parents was the cat?" Medina asks. She's not trying to be insulting, just naturally being curious, but it's up to Mana how she takes it.

[nokvok]

((Davarioc, Sleeping Dragon Inn))
"Cause he teaches Adventuring one-zero-one?" If Davarioc found it strange to talk to a fox, he didn't show it. Maybe the Black Orcs encountered many strange creatures and persons in their nomadic life, or maybe this particular specimen just was especially phlegmatic. Either way he followed the white quadruped without any sign of hesitation or confusion.

[Jesse_God_of_Awesome]

He's at the one taught by the aasimar dog-ears.

[ChroniclerC]

Sleeping Dragon Inn
"Yup," Likal answered, as he hopped up on a chair. He looked like he was about to call over a wench waitress when he pauses, having a realization. "Oh! You're gonna follow him around to find the class!" The fox smiled at the clever idea. "Go, chase him down. I'll bring you something to eat in class."

[nokvok]

((Davarioc, Sleeping Dragon Inn))
"No need to, I know now how he smells and there are only two buildings I'll need to check." He scratched his red-dyed shoulder while sitting down, too, seemingly pondering over roasted pheasant. "And even if I loose his trail, I always can just follow Jolitha..." Now this 'stupid grin' and a few low grunts might pass for laughter.

[Jesse_God_of_Awesome]

A Random Hallway

Tyrone looks down a series of connecting hallways, left and right, for an authority figure. He wishes to ask them directions.

[OzLionHeart]

3rd Floor, Women's Hall
Mia and Kat arrived in time for the Mia, whose hearing was somewhat better than that of a human, to pick up the sounds of discussion from Room 3J.

"Sounds like trouble," Mia said, her ears swivelling forward to catch the sounds. She hurried over to Room 3J, where everyone seemed to be gathered, and poked her head around the door.

"What's wrong?"

[BinaryWraith]

Kat follows Mia's lead as well, with a slight grumble. "Trouble always seems to arrive before breakfast..."

[Atashi-Cloud]

OOC: just to catch up on stuff here.

3J

Selene stayed in the back instead of crowding around to watch Medina wake up Mana, already having an inkling of an idea as to how any cat-person would react to being woken up by a tickle. That being done, she was unsurprised as Mana woke up immediately on the defensive and ready to blast those present. She'd have responded to Medina's query on the whole 'what half of your parentage is cat', but wanted to leave it to Mana since she was obviously from a different world and she wondered the same herself. She picks up Mia and Kat already returning, ducking backwards out of sight after being noted as a 'helpful aide' and wanting to leave it at that. 'No need to make her think I'm prying due to my curious nature of wanting to learn others' parentage...granted, I know I haven't done that yet with Mia and Kat...maybe I should, just to see what they'd say..?' she thinks to herself, easily back-stepping into the hallway and looking to Mia and Kat, "Problems? There's nothing bad going on here...just an overly defensive cat, really. Someone who needs to let their guard down since the rest of us are already relaxing..." she glances towards the inside of the room, not sure if Mana would have caught that. After all, she's not sure if Mana's ears were truly catlike despite showing such tendencies earlier.

[Drayco]

3J (10:35 AM)

Mana quietly listens to Medina's questions... then goes quiet at the last one. Still, she stops glowing defensively. "You truly... don't... know?" She curls up, hugging her knees and looking to Medina, almost curiously. "My... great-grandfather... was... a... rakshasa..."

((As a type of demon-like figure not native to Krynn, Medina has no idea what one of those is. Just sayin'.))

Sleeping Dragon Inn (10:20 AM)

Since his author apparently went AWOL, Weldir and Dorrick are here already, and Likal spots them at a table towards the back. There's nobody else at the bar for the moment, save two women a few seats down - the black-clad Shael Syal, and her apparent giantess roommate, Kelga Brall. Shael is sitting calmly and sipping tea, while Kelga is... actually, surprisingly well-mannered as she neatly feasts on a turkey leg, with another leg, a half-loaf of bread, and a large chunk of cheese sits before her.

One of the halfling waitresses, however, immediately picks up Likal and gives him a big cleavage-smothering hug, before depositing him on a stool. "Hello there, little Likal! What can I get you?" She says, as she heads back behind the counter.

Sylvan Hall (10:20)

Being the closest hall to the dorm, Tyrone arrives in the tree-like hall about the same time Kerri is ejected from the tree a few hundred feet into the building before him. As before, most of the people present appear to be students, of a wide variety of nationalities, many Tyrone has never seen before, ranging from insectoids to people with wings to a man made entirely of black and gray woods.

[OzLionHeart]

3J
"What's a rakshasa?" Mia asked from the doorway. Apparently, she's never heard of them either. "Are they anything like Rakshani?"

[davecom3]

(OOC: I know she doesn't. Even if they existed in Krynn, wasn't going to let her know what they were.)

Room 3J

"A rakshasa? What's that? Some sort of religion? Or a type of cat? Well, I don't really care what your great-grandfather was. Don't know how it makes you a demon either, so if you're claiming to be one, you'll have to do better than that. You shouldn't let people call you a demon based on what your great-grandfather did for a living, you know? It doesn't make you one, so it's not a valid argument."

Medina turns to face the new arrivals, "You're not here to hurt her, are you? If you are, you'll have to go through me. She's not a demon, and she isn't evil. I can tell just by seeing her, but if you want more verification, I guess I could detect evil. Total waste of time, though. She's not evil."

[OzLionHeart]

Doorway of 3J
"Well, I'm certainly not here to hurt her," said Mia. "I just heard people talking, and wanted to know what was going on."

[Jesse_God_of_Awesome]

Sylvan Hall (3:75 After Sunrise)

Tyrone had seen fantastic creatures before. They weren't common but the monastery, enclosed as it was from outsiders, had a busy city grow up around it and that meant foreigners, sometimes really exotic ones: Thri-kreen from Great Desert, Kyuubi from the Forest Orient, Ents from the Southern Tundras, Dragonborn from the continent Trolus and more. He had seen them at least once although they were an event.

So Tyrone stopped and stared but his ability to comprehend was not utterly shut down. He shook his head and paid more attention the important things. He picked up his pace to get next ot Kerri and kneel next to her, "Are you okay?"

[Drayco]

3J

"..." Mana just looks at these people, utterly confused. "Y-you don't... a rakshasa is a type of demon that resembles a lion or tiger... they're evil, and destructive... and my great-grandfather did terrible things..." She hugs her knees a little less. "And my grandfather was a great adventurer, and sought to kill his father for the evil he'd done... but then... a former member of his adventuring party slew him in his stead, and sold his pelt on the elemental black market.... that's what they do to demons like me... and when my grandfather found his pelt, he flew into a rage, and destroyed an entire country... before my father, and my grandfather's apprentice, slew him..."

She looks to Medina. "My father was a hero, despite his nature, and I want to be like him... but... he wasn't there growing up... and I cannot shapeshift like the rest of my family... so I grew up being attacked when my father wasn't there to protect me... a-and the paladins were worst of all... they never see more than a demon... and my family's dark heritage..." She whimpers lightly. "M-my father... h-he sent me here... b-but... there's paladins... and adventurers everywhere... I-I fear it's only a matter of time... b-before..." Aaaand she whimpers and curls up hugging her knees again, clearly freaked out.


Drayco winces, rubbing the back of his head. "Yeesh... and I thought the paladins I've seen were bad... err... no offense, Medina..." He says, looking innocently at the little kender.
