[snoteverywhere]

[Renton's passed the Front Gate and walked into the Lobby, letter and catalog still in his hand. He looks down and around, scratching his head. Everything is so dream like. The colors, the architecture, even the weather, in a way. Needless to say he's still confused and completely out of place

Comments

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, it can be.

[snoteverywhere]

[--!]

Who are you?

[fierybluebird]

Marco. Nice to meet you kid.

Are you new here or just having a rough day?

[snoteverywhere]

Marco...? [he's slightly less loud, now, looking at the stranger from head to toe.]

I'm--[he curls his fingers around the letter.] I'm new here. I guess.

[bratbeyond]

[Damian was trying to finish reading this book, but the moment Renton screams...]

Join the club.

[snoteverywhere]

Club? [he turns his head in Damian's direction, frustrated.] I don't want to join any club! I didn't even ask to be here!

[bratbeyond]

Zift1! None of us did! [slams his book shut and hugs it tightly against his chest. Jeez, this one's more violent than the others.]

And you're not helping your case by screaming. Today's your first day here?

[ 1 Zift: future slang meaning "idiot" in Arabic. Traditionally used as a crude insult. ]

[snoteverywhere]

[Jeez. Is it that obvious?

... Why is he even wondering.]

Well--yeah! What am I even supposed to do around here?

[queenmercedes]

[During his outburst, Mercedes had happened to be approaching from behind his line of vision, on her way between Point A and Point B. The raised voice from Renton got her attention. So, she stopped a couple feet behind him.]

Who are you talking to?

[snoteverywhere]

Huh--? [head turns! Oh look, a girl.]

... No one.

[queenmercedes]

[And not just any girl, but a fairy one too! When she spoke, her nose scrunched up a little in distaste.]

Why would you waste your time like that?

[snoteverywhere]

[yep, this is definitely a dream.]

Waste my time? [he stares, and then he hides his face in his hand. Then he begins to mutter to himself.]

... I'm just gonna wait until I wake up.

[lostmyhyperion]

More like you're insane. Never been to a place like this?

[snoteverywhere]

Does it look like I've ever been to another world before?!

[lostmyhyperion]

I wasn't aware I should keep track of your travels. You just come off as a whining kid let loose out of his house for the first time.

[snoteverywhere]

Whining kid? I'll show you whining!!

[dragon_savior]

Having trouble picking classes? Or is it more the sudden shift from home? It takes a little getting used to.

[snoteverywhere]

I -- what? [sbdhdb] I don't have time for that!

[dragon_savior]

I'm afraid none of us have much choice. At best, going home is just random.

[snoteverywhere]

Great. And I'm just supposed to go to classes meanwhile?
