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.

Neptune Vasilias | Crux
Date: 2015-11-15 06:47 pm (UTC)[Right, well. Today has been... a day.]
[Neptune's not completely sure how or why he's here, not yet. His best bet is that this is some form of new and exciting exchange student program that Haven Academy's put together. You know, without telling the students first. It's odd, but at the same time, he can't say for sure that it's not the sort of stunt Haven would pull. So it's either that or he's been abducted by magical aliens. Good... times...?]
[Neptune is sitting in the school's auditorium, where supposedly the entrance ceremony is set to begin. He's getting sick of just drumming his fingers on his thigh, though, so he turns to whoever is sitting next to him and stirs up a conversation.]
Hey. You from around here?
[His tone is either casual or flirtatious, depending on whether you are a boy or a girl.]
b. galactica
[After the introductory ceremonies were over, Neptune decided to take a little field trip into Galactica proper. He can be found in one of the many music/entertainment shops that dot the town, scouring the electronics section. He's muttering something to himself and looks mildly peeved.]
Don't know it... don't know it... don't know it... ah, this is just great. What a time to forget my phone charger.
A.
Date: 2015-11-15 06:55 pm (UTC)Members of the welcoming committee were interspersed through the crowd today, acting as ambassadors and general question answerers to any and all who needed it. Sitting politely with her ankles crossed, and hands folded neatly in her lap, she leaned forward slightly, tilting her head toward Neptune when she heard him speak. ]
Hmm?
A.
Date: 2015-11-15 06:58 pm (UTC)I said, are you from around here? Because I'm new, and I could really use someone to give me a tour.
A.
Date: 2015-11-15 07:00 pm (UTC)[ It seems your charm isn't quite up to snuff
yetNeptune. Miss Justice and Self-Righteousness isn't willing to skip for you. ]A.
Date: 2015-11-15 07:33 pm (UTC)[Mentally, Neptune congratulated himself on his nice save.]
A.
Date: 2015-11-15 07:45 pm (UTC)Oh, right, of course.
[ Lux thought you meant skipping the ceremony entirely, which would not fly. Did she have anything going on after convocation? ]
I suppose I could.
A.
Date: 2015-11-17 11:01 pm (UTC)So... she's going to explain why we're here, right? [Neptune inclines his head towards the stage, where the Headmistress is supposed to appear.]
A.
Date: 2015-11-18 06:56 am (UTC)That's right. The students and teachers were have been summoned from their respective worlds in order to learn how to better defend them.
A.
Date: 2015-11-21 10:27 pm (UTC)[He frowns a bit.]
Not that I would turn it down, but it sounds like they're kind of jumping the gun.
A.
Date: 2015-11-23 07:11 am (UTC)[ Looking forward as the headmistress speaks, she lowers her voice a bit so as to not disturb the others around them. ]
No one is forced to stay here against their will. If they feel like they don't belong, they're able to leave. I've heard of some students leaving and coming back later for various reasons.

From:A!
Date: 2015-11-16 01:51 am (UTC)Still, when he hears Neptune address him, he perks up from staring at the auditorium ceiling in boredom, flashing the other a smile.]
Around here? I'm afraid not. Are you new, too?
A!
Date: 2015-11-17 11:18 pm (UTC)[He grins. This is probably not the sort of thing one should be bragging about, but Neptune is of the opinion that whatever situation you're in, you've gotta own it.]
So what, they're... kidnapping students of magic schools and dropping them into this one? That's a strange way to do it. [He's assuming that Kirino was attending another school before Crux, like he was, but of course he might be wrong.]

Date: 2015-11-17 11:41 pm (UTC)This is pretty different than where I was going before, though.

Date: 2015-11-18 05:35 am (UTC)[He thought it was kind of weird that a little kid was enrolled, but had just kind of assumed that they did it differently where Kirino came from. But it turns out he's just not magical at all?]
You can do magic though, right?
no subject
Date: 2015-11-18 05:45 am (UTC)[He furrows his brow in thought for a moment.] It's more like... Magic is a thing that kind of just... if it happens, it happens? I didn't really think about it being a thing until it suddenly was.
Like I got nailed in the head with a soccer ball except the soccer ball was the ability to summon a glowy suit of armor and there was no actual blow to the head. [He's not very good at analogies.]
no subject
Date: 2015-11-18 05:50 am (UTC)Seems, uh, legit.
[Of course. If he's thirteen or whatever, then maybe he just got his powers recently? Or he's been living among normal people and not understanding anything about his abilities????? Jeez, poor kid. He doesn't know how to do anything.]
How long've you had it?

Something wrong?

Date: 2015-11-17 11:14 pm (UTC)[Neptune straightens out when he notices who's talking to him, giving Eas a wry-looking smile.]
Thanks for asking, though!
B
Date: 2015-11-20 12:35 am (UTC)Not anymore?
[She doesn't get it.]

Date: 2015-11-22 12:02 am (UTC)...How is that even possible? You don't even know me.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-22 12:19 am (UTC)[It's not often that people straight up don't understand what Neptune's getting at, but he makes a totally smooth recovery.]
Anyway, nothing's the matter. I just forgot my phone charger at home, that's all.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-23 01:42 am (UTC)She was just looking for a way to make things worse.
...This might be something she take advantage of though.]
I suppose you have a point there.
[Unfortunately that was a very simple problem right there.
Though she could always turn a replacement charger or his phone into a monster. That would work.]
That's it? You looked a touch more displeased for such a small problem.
