Ino was wandering through the Entrance Hall after her class when she caught sight of a familiar face. Oh! The girl the journal... Mai?

The girl had entertained her no end the previous day. A grin spread over the blonde's face as she weaved through the crowd of students towards the other girl.

"Why the long face, Mai? Not enough sparkle in your day?" Ino wriggled her finger to emphasize the sparkles. This was going to be fun.

The last thing Mai had expected was to be approached by someone, least of all a girl she'd spoken with on those book journal things. The black-haired Slytherin eyed the girl, Ino, and rolled her eyes a little at the words.

"I got enough this morning trying to tell the difference between a charm and the professor's writing," the Slytherin scoffed as she paused in the middle of the hallway, oblivious to anyone who might need to go around her. Mai didn't care if she was blocking up the flow of students or not. They could go around her.

Flipping her hair elegantly over her shoulder, Ino smirked. Most people seemed to dislike Slytherins as a matter of principle, but Ino didn't particularly care. As long as someone was interesting, they were worth knowing.

"It is a little painful," she agreed. "Painful and... tacky."

((bumping our thread down to join with Seifer's - you'll be up after me still <3))

Jackboots clapped into massive echoes through the entrance hall...accompanied by small mutters...around the corner, Seifer turned the corner while giving a low-toned soliloquy about himself:

"SPARKLES? SPARKLES?! Like I haven't had a weird enough time here. First, I comes in with this aspiration to change...psh, like I know how, then I go back to being badass Seifer...but hey, it ain't bad being yourself...then I have that weird moment in that Muggles class. What the hell is going on with me?"

As he looked up to find Mai, he noticed the other strange blond-haired girl hanging around. "Oh man...is this girl just pretending not to be popular, or is she just as cool as I imagine and naturally draws people to her boredom?" In any case, he was still just as interested as ever to see Mai again. He could use the pseudo-sympathy.

"Sparkles, Mai. Sparkles. *shrugs* I guess this place has every intention of going to absolute rubbish."

Mai hadn't been paying much attention to anything around her, something she'd gotten very good at doing over the years. So Seifer's approach almost caught her off-guard. If she'd had the emotion to feel completely startled, she may very well have been. But for now, nothing had triggered such a response from her.

Her eyes darted sideways to where Seifer was walking up to the girls. Her expression was unreadable for the moment, so it was difficult to tell exactly how she felt about this new addition. In all honesty, she wasn't entirely sure. She was still testing the waters with him after all.

"They're painful, tacky, and they hurt my eyes," she replied to both people who had approached her. "I thought that Hufflepuff's entry was bad. This is worse. Much worse."

"Maybe you should invest in some sunglasses," Ino responded, shrugging her bag off her shoulder as she noticed the second Slytherin. "Those muggles occasionally do have a good idea, you know."

She nodded a greeting to the Seventh year. They'd never spoken much, so she wasn't quite sure how this would go. "Seifer."

Toph was slightly confused. She had walked into the great hall earlier that morning with people talking about...sparkles? Since she couldn't see, she didn't care about them, but it was still annoying to hear people talking about them.

Now it was lunch, and she was heading to class when she overheard people talking about them again. Wanting to know what the big deal was, she walked over to the group. "What's the big deal with these sparkle things?"

[tipofagunblade]

"Ha...if I needed anything to make myself look any cooler than muggles." Seifer said as he reoriented the spikes on his head to a smoother fashion

[does_not_burn]

Mai nearly snickered at Ino's suggestion. She had a point there and at least sunglasses would block the brightness of the damn sparkles. But it wasn't as though the stupid colorful castle would last longer than a day... would it?

Mai had been carefully ignoring everyone else around her until another girl walked up and demanded to know what was going on with the sparkles. The Slytherin girl merely shrugged, waiting for Seifer to finish what he was saying. Her brow furrowed slightly when the boy tried to pull Toph aside and she shrugged a little. Not like it mattered to her anyway. She didn't even know Toph.

"Find a pair that won't break under a simple charm and then you'll have me convinced," she replied to Ino's mentioning of the sunglasses.

The blonde watched curiously as Seifer pulled the young Gryffindor away. Interesting. Her eyes flicked back to Mai when she spoke, and a smile flashed across her face.

"I have the perfect thing." Ino reached into her bag, rummaging for a moment before she pulled out a pair of sunglasses. She'd bought them as a joke when her family visited an airport in Egypt to observe muggle travel rituals.

The frames were white, the eye pieces in the shape of love hearts. The Ravenclaw almost struggled to keep a smirk off her face as she handed them to Mai. "Use them wisely."

Sub Zero walked into the Entrance hall and observed a seventh year Slytherin walking away from a young Gryffindor girl. From the looks of it, the boy had pushed the girl up towards a wall, said something and then walked away. Sub Zero was a very daunting figure, and surely wasn't known as compassionate (there's a reason he's called 'Sub Zero' nit 'King Richard the Lionhearted'), but people who didn't know him (that's most people) don't realize he actual has a heart, and hates to see the younglings being harassed by their elder students. Sub Zero walked by two other students, and approached the girl. In a calm, but still deep and powerful, voice, Sub Zero asked the girl, "Excuse me. Are you alright?"
