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.

...Wait, really?

[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?

[doingthemistything]

Well, yeah, of course I do; I don't think I'd be here otherwise.

[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.]

[Neptune just... nods slowly.] 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?

[doingthemistything]

[It's a combination of both, really. The look on Kirino's face turns a bit sheepish before he answers.]

About a week? If that...

[flowingsand]

[OoooooooOOOOOOoooooooh boy.] [Neptune shifts in his seat a little, to face Kirino better. He grins.] Well, first of all, my name's Neptune. Now I don't offer this to everyone [he holds his hand up] but since you're super new and I would bet money that the remedial classes here aren't as good as they should be: Do you want some help with that?

[doingthemistything]

Ah-- [For a moment, Kirino's eyes widen in surprise, but the response is otherwise immediate--he nods vigorously.]

I'd appreciate it a lot. [There's a beat, before he adds--] And, ah... call me Kirino! It's nice to meet you.

[flowingsand]

You too, Kirino. [Shake on it?]
