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.

Kibu--Kibogahu

[ Good lord that was a tongue twister. Her sweet, cool exterior chips a bit in embarrassment as she completely butchers the word. She looks a bit embarrassed. Best just to give up.

Right, formalities. That was a thing there too, right? He wouldn't be the first person to call her that, but it felt so... distant. ]

If you're here, then obviously Headmistress Palida saw something in you. Likely you won't stay an "underpowered civilian" for long.

Oh, and you can call me Lux, if you prefer. That's what everyone calls me.

[cure_fire]

[He nodded, rubbing his head a little.] I guess so. Lux it is then.

[He smiled just a bit, like he had an inkling of what the Headmistress thought.] Yeah, I guess so. There's so many different magical people here...

[ladyofluminosity]

[ That gets a bit of a chuckle out of her. ]

We were all called, just like you. While there are quite a few students from what I assume to be your world, there are quite a few of us who aren't. It makes things interesting around here, to say the least.

[cure_fire]

I guess that makes me feel better about being called then.

[His hand brushed against the pocket where he hid his transformation item. While he wished he had been given a more sentai-ish transformation device, being able to carry on his friends legacy in another world was thrilling.]

So um, which way is it to the student services again?

[ladyofluminosity]

Oh, right! Here, follow me. This place can be a bit confusing.

[ She begins to walk, albeit somewhat slowly so he can keep up. Not that he would have any problem with those long legs of his. ]

[cure_fire]

Thanks.

[Following alongside Lux, he grinned at the sight of the campus in full.] This is a great place. It's so unique...

[ladyofluminosity]

Do they not have places like this where you're from? I'll admit, I know next to nothing about Japan.

[cure_fire]

Well, where we come from, there's two types of heroes. Three if you get technical. But there's no real Superhero School so to speak.

[Precure don't usually go to school for their stuff.] I'd imagine it's different in other worlds or other places at least.

[ladyofluminosity]

Only two types? But can't anyone be a hero if they really wanted to?

[ Well, except Noxians. Or maybe Zaunites. Or people from Bilgewater.

Okay, maybe not EVERYONE everyone, but most everyone. ]

Superheroes?

[ Lux blinks a few times. Wait, what was a "super" hero? You've piqued her interest. ]

[cure_fire]

Well, heroes become heroes for different reasons. As explained to me, you have to be chosen to become a Precure, a Sentai team arises depending on the circumstance, and Riders tend to work alone in their world.

Yeah, Superheoes. That's the general term for the three types of heroes in my world: Precure, Sentai, Rider. Although some are debating if Riders are superheroes, since they exist in another parallel world.

[ladyofluminosity]

Riders? Sentai?

[ She obviously knew what a Precure was, if her dormmate was any indication. There were quite a few here, in fact. Educate her, new friend. ]

[cure_fire]

They're armored fighters, who fight for the safety of the world just like Precure do. Although they fight for different things than love and justice.

Riders are defined by belt transformation devices typically, and Sentai work in groups. The real difference is that Sentai also drive giant robots, and Riders tend to have differing powers.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ That sounds... really interesting, actually. ]

If they don't fight for justice, then what do they fight for?

[cure_fire]

Family, life, safety of earth, depending on the hero and team, it can all change in an instant.

[ladyofluminosity]

Are these heroes commonplace in your world?

[cure_fire]

Fairly commonplace. There's a new team about once every year or so. At least for the Sentai. And Precure too.

[ladyofluminosity]

Interesting! I hadn't realized that such things weren't uncommon on Earth. I always assumed that they were quite rare.

[cure_fire]

Well I'd most likely say it's because we're being attacked so much by otherworldly enemies that it causes so much flare up of heroes.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She pauses, her expression turning slightly dark. ]

That sounds similar to my world.

[cure_fire]

That seems like a common thread then. To have similar worlds all the time.

[ladyofluminosity]

So I've gathered, although the full extent seems to vary.

[ Stopping, she glances toward the door to their right. ]

Here we are, is there anything else I can help you with.

[cure_fire]

Ah, thank you so much, Lux. This was appreciated.

[Ban smiled and bowed in thanks.] Maybe later if we have classes together, we could work on homework together?

[ladyofluminosity]

Of course! It could be fun!

[ Because of course she thinks homework is fun. ]

[cure_fire]

Great! Thanks, I'll see you then.

[Ban grinned and entered the room. This was nice, making a new friend.]
