NEW BEGINNINGS

[makenaide]

Spring is here and newest crop of students have finally arrived at Crux Academy and Nebulae Institute. Both campuses are abuzz with activity as first years filter in, some confused, others excited and honored to be attending such a prestigious institution. Class assignments would be found on the large bulletin board toward the front of campus, and while some friends may find themselves once again sharing the same class, others will be given the opportunity to nurture new relationships with future friends (or enemies).

Classes for the first day will be short, punctuated by a welcoming ceremony led by each school's respective headmaster and headmistress, as well as an upperclassman that has some significance to the rest of the student body. Students are then permitted to take the rest of the day for themselves, to get acclimated to the campus as well as Galactica, should they so choose. Why not explore the school? Take a trip into the city? Or perhaps get to know your dorm mate, classmates or fellow faculty members? Or perhaps, if you are that sort of person, terrorize the town? The choice is yours.

Hime Shirayuki | Crux Academy

[friendshiprocks]

school campus
[ Transferring two schools in a year, this isn't fair. Hime pitched a fit and kicked and fussed when her parents and Blue told her that she should go to Crux Academy, how it would be perfect for her, she could still visit her friends in Pikarigaoka, just try it for a year and if you don't like it, you can transfer back.

Which were all valid points. But that didn't change the fact that she was stuck here without people she knew which automatically made the place ten times worse.

So yeah. Blue haired princess is just POUTING UP A STORM as she spends the entire welcoming ceremony just pouting and then just pouts her way through looking at the class assignments. She's probably in someone's way but Hime just doesn't care, she's stuck in this stupid place without Megumi, she has every right to be a pouty grumpy little brat. ]

galactica
[ Hime's managed to perk up a little bit, though there are still some traces of grump in her expression as she explored the city. However...as soon as she spots a clothing store, that grump fades away. There wasn't any harm in shopping to make you feel better, right? Right.

She's loaded down with bags of clothes when she spots someone she doesn't know holding a delicious looking pastry. All thoughts of 'this is a strange person' vanish as Hime's mind just gets overtaken with 'FOOD, YES, GOOD, EAT.' She's practically drooling as she looks at that pastry...sorry whoever has the pastry, there's a tiny blue haired girl smack in your way. ]

Where'd you get that?!

GALACTICA.

[ Walking around town was exhausting, but there were so many interesting things that Lumina wasn't even mad. Dressed in a cute, somewhat dark ensemble, a bag of various types of eclairs rested in the crook of her arm, the pink-haired girl kicked her legs a bit as she walked. Pulling one of the delicious treats from her bag, she stops as a very puffy-haired girl bars her path. ]

What's the magic word? Say it and I'll tell you.

[friendshiprocks]

Please! Please tell me where you got that pastry!

[ Hime is just bound and determined to figure out where Lumina got that food, and it shows in her face: she is staring down that pastry like it's the last pastry on Earth, that food looks so good. As such, she's paying little to no attention to Lumina herself, as Hime just stares at the pastry. ]

[remanens]

[ Hello, Sucker. Erm, new friend.

No, Sucker totally works here. ]

Hmm, you know, I think I forgot. I might need something to jog my memory a bit.

[ Let's see how far this goes, shall we? ]

[friendshiprocks]

[ Yeah, she's a sucker. Hello there sucker. Hime can't help but let out a huffy annoyed long siiiiiiiigh ]

Like what? I don't know all the stores here but we can find a map or something, that should work, right?

[ She had long since abandoned her welcoming committee name tag once classes began, and while clubs would not officially start for another week, Lux wanted to get a head start on practice. Being a perfectionist was hard, okay? Dressed in a skirt, polo shirt and sneakers, she made her way toward the field only to find someone somehow taking up the whole width of the hall.

How are you doing that? You're tiny! ]

Ah, excuse me?

[friendshiprocks]

[ That's her secret superpower: getting in everybody's way. Hime turns around, as if to pout and grump some more...but then she spots Lux behind her. And recognizes her from the welcoming committee. Great job Hime, it's your first day here and you're already blocking sempai's way.

As such, Hime freezes up a bit. This was not the first impression she wanted to give. ]

I-I'm sorry! Am I in your way? I'm totally in your way, aren't I.

[ She's not moving, though. Too paralyzed with thoughts of 'ohhhh no, I goofed this up' ]

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Oh dear it's a cute thing.

Lux recognizes that look. She's seen it so many times before today, and the blond softens her expression a bit. She would have thought that most of the new students would be taking this better by now, but oh well. That's okay. ]

No, no, it's okay. I wasn't doing anything important anyway.

[ Just going to hit some things with a giant Lacrosse racket, which happens to be poking out from the top of her bag. It's cool. ]

Are you all right? You look a bit worked up.

[friendshiprocks]

I'm fine! I'm not worked up or anything, I'm just fine!

[ says the girl who is still in the way. And not moving. And looks worked up. Hime might say she's fine but everything else screams 'she is not fine in the slightest' ]

[eyesofabeast]

[First-day festivities are always busy to begin with, and even more when you're habitually up before the sun even rises. Finally, though, the morning had come to an end and left his afternoon free to... head into town and run some errands. Pick up supplies for the year, that kind of thing.

Fortunately, he'd been in a grocery store when he'd realized he hadn't had anything to eat since his early start and picked up something simple for himself. He'd just been about to take his first bite when he suddenly found himself face to face with a tiny ball of blue hair staring up at his meal with ravenous eyes.]

Ah... [He pauses with the fresh-baked pastry just short of his open mouth and blinks down at Hime, his other hand holding a shopping bag full of various vegetables and foods, like a big bundle of carrots. A second to gather himself and he lowers his hand, gesturing back the way he'd come.] Uh... there's a shop back down that way. It's a little far from here though.

[Turning back, he glances at the girl thoughtfully.]

Are you hungry?

[friendshiprocks]

Not really.

[ That is a boldfaced lie, based on how she's still staring at that pastry. It looks delicious and she's totally hungry, but she's not going to start a conversation and just talk about how hungry she is (despite the fact that inevitably, this conversation's going to be totally about food). She takes the directions in, committing them to memory...but she still can't help but stare at that delicious looking pastry. ]

What kind of sweet is that? Does it have filling inside?

[ It's an undisputed fact that the filling ones are the best. ]

[eyesofabeast]

[While he definitely can't argue with her opinion on filling he's pretty sure that's the only true part of what she had to say, judging by the way her eyes are tracking the food. He manages to suppress the urge to wave it around and see if she keeps following it.]

Yeah, it does. Blueberry. [He shuffles the bag in his hand so it hands from his forearm and carefully pulls the pastry in half, holding the part still in the wrapper out to the hungry girl.] Here, why don't you take half and see if you like it? I'm not all that hungry either.

[friendshiprocks]

[ She blushes a bit as Link offers his half of the pastry. That looked good, but that didn't mean she wanted his pastry, right? ]

Oh no, I can't take it, that'd be rude of me!

[ and yet....she's totally taking the half of his pastry and takes a big bite out of it. Put your money where your mouth is, Hime. As she takes a bite of the pastry, Hime's eyes light up and, still through a mouth full of food, ] This is so good!

[cure_fire]

[loom.

There's a giant of a teenager standing over you Hime, and for a moment, Ban had thought that this was Erica. There were more blue haired girls on this campus than he expected.]

Excuse me, where's the school cafeteria? [He asked of Hime.]

[friendshiprocks]

[ wrong blue Precure, buddy.

As she hears Ban's voice, Hime starts giving herself a mental pep talk. She's got this, somebody's asking a question, she can answer this and make friends with him, and WHOA WAIT NO, THAT GUY IS TOO TALL, WHAT THE HECK.

Sorry Ban, Hime's just kind of staring for a moment, slightly taken aback because there's that part of her that's still super shy but also taken aback because he is huge. ]

[cure_fire]

[Oh dear, he knew this expression. With a sigh, he brushed his hair over away from his eyes and tried to give Hime a comforting smile.

What he did instead was Eye Flash.

Whoops.]

[switch_over]

[Seriously? Eas didn't exactly take very kindly to people getting all up in her grill. Specifically when she's holding a doughnut.

Her eyes narrow as they meet Hime's. Then she slowly raises a hand and shoos her back.]

Back up and I might consider telling you.

[friendshiprocks]

[ Whoa, geez buddy. Hime takes a few tentative steps back before looking up at Eas. ]

Okay, now you've got to tell me.

[switch_over]

No I don't.

I only said I might consider it. I've decided not to.

school campus!

[wishingalone]

[Welcoming new students is part of the job for an older student. Mami doesn't mind. It's... better than her previous school. She doesn't have to hide who she is here. It makes her less lonely.]

[These are lies, Mami is always lonely]

[So she notices the pouting. Mami comes to a stop as she sees her pouting through the hallways, then she approaches slowly. Mami raises a hand and flashes that bright, pleasant smile.]

Hello, there. It looks like this is your first day.

[friendshiprocks]

[ That bright smile helps a little bit. Hime stops being a grumpy guts for a moment when she sees Mami's small smile and can't help but give the upperclassman a small smile of her own. ]

It is. I didn't really want to be here, but I got shoved here anyway. [ a pause, before. ] Hey, do you know if there's a way to request somebody as a student or something like that?

[ she's an upperclassman, she might know this. Because if there's a way that Hime can shove an invite on Megumi, Yuko, and Iona, you bet your ass she's gonna do so. ]

[wishingalone]

Ah, yes. Sometimes, the admissions process has less to do with our wishes and more to do with what others think is best for us. But... I wouldn't write it off yet.

[She winks. Then, her expression becomes a little more serious. She can guess where this might go; she's heard and wondered similar. And she has wanted Madoka, Sayaka, and Kyouko here herself.]

[...not so much Homura though.]

You can suggest it to the administration, but they may not be able to. A friend of yours, perhaps?

galactica

[almostanthy]

Ah?

[ Towa peers over her donut and sees....

My.

She holds up a small cardboard box (with a convenient handle) that says "Marble Donuts" on it. ] They're imported...

[friendshiprocks]

[ Hello there fellow Princess Precure with an equally stupid real name. Hime...is still just looking at that donut, as if by looking at it she's going to magically convince Towa to share. But when she hears that dreaded word ('imported'), Hime can't help but pull back a little, huffing and frowning. ]

What? That's not fair! Something that delicious looking's gotta exist here so I can eat it!

[almostanthy]

There are probably...local delicacies....

[ Still, Towa feels sort of bad when she sees that huffy face. Is she being selfish by having donuts no one else has? What should a true princess due when faced with such a dejected subject? Or - no, they are both students here, presumably. What should someone do for a potential new friend....?

Checking in her donut box, she notices she still has one left. Towa pulls it out (cupping it daintily in a napkin) and gingerly separates the donut into two equal halves. ] Would you like to share...?
