Ann Dolby and Rashida Walters - The Big Incident
Interactions: Charles Babel PlusUltra Slav Zenterfold

Ann was exactly on Ren's wavelength as the incident unfolded. This really didn't seem to be something she was interested in dealing with. Oh God was that blood on her stomach? She didn't feel anything so- oh wait. She put her finger in it and tasted. Just ketchup.


"I believe," A new voice rung out from behind Ayako belonging to Rashida. "That this altercation should be dealt with by faculty members. Students getting involved will only escalate it." The irony of Rashida confronting Ayaka was lost on her. Though it seemed like one of them were already stepping away from the situation, though that still left the larger altercation still unfolding.

The girl skips inside with a bounce to her step having calmed down the earlier explosion in her own way, and a new distraction as she internally muses of multiple avenues to give Karma a helpful push on the main two she believed responsible for the chaos, unaware of Christoph's initial minor role in such but still. So here she stands pristine as she watches Kai attempt to clean up her garment, she idly contemplated try to restore it as well, though her unfamiliarity with the item as well as having lost track of the flow of events since her interference in the conflict did leave that open to a few calculation errors damaging it. So instead she does the best next thing "Hmm...that does seem to something needing quite a deep clean, maybe leaving to soak a little? Do you perhaps want to borrow my coat in the meantime? It will likely be a bit easier in the long run.....oh as for me? nothing much, just some little misunderstanding, it seemed two boys were puffing up their chests at each other and it was getting out of hand you know" unfastening her own goat and offering it over, the buttons sighing in relief as the outfit pops open the moment the restraint was lifted with cry of liberation to show the turtleneck underneath was a vest though with what looked to be wrist warmers running across her forearms. It was likely only known though that the definition and muscle of her upper arms could be seen, being far more than the coat would have suggested though the explanation may have been fairly simple and obvious given Kais earlier observations.

"You're like three times my size," Kai replied to Vetr's offer of her coat, having not yet looked up, "No offense, just saying. And it would probably just extend this mess, your hair and stuff on it." Frustrated, Kai flung the wet paper towel into the trash can. "I did bring detergent, so that'll probably work out," she muttered, folding the hoodie. There better be a washing machine in the dorms, or at least a laundromat in town. Without the hoodie, it was pretty clear that Kai's default posture was a slouch, because even when not bent over to try and scrub the garment, she was somewhat hunched over, which seemed to shave a few inches off Kai's height. If not for the slouch, he might have been close to Vetr's height.

"When do you think they're gonna let us back in the- whoa, you're closer than I thought." Kai had turned to address Vetr and almost walked headfirst into her chest. The mask was back on, so the only indication of Kai's reaction were his eyes and voice.

She looks to the coat for a moment before realizing "Oh right I keep forgetting, sorry about that" slowly replacing the garment, needing a deep breath as she starts to work on the buttons before eventually giving up and leaving such open, she would sort it out later...it was an older coat so perhaps she did need to update her wardrobe once more, it was a shame she liked this one. Looking back to Kai she does notice their posture with another faint glance of concern "Hmm you really should try not to slouch so much, it really isnt good for your back..." stepping forward to them again just as the girl turned causing a face first collision for a moment before the bounce left them face first and muffling some of the end words causing her to take a step back.

"Oh sorry about that, Hmm? I didnt catch that...though i think the festival may be closing down sadly but we may be able to catch the aftermath if we hurry" seemingly acting oblivious to the reaction.

"I grew up in a crammed RV, this is nothing," Kai said in response to Vetr's concern over his posture. He tucked the hoodie under his arm as he turned to face Vetr, right as Vetr herself took a step towards him. Well, shit. Kinda sputtering a bit, Kai took a step back, using Vetr's stomach as a barrier to help dislodge herself from the larger girl's bust.

"What is with you and being so close?", Kai said hastily. He wasn't sure if she was just oblivious to her anatomy or what.

She raises a finger to their face hovering a moment away as she leans forward to them "You only get one back...." stopping and then tapping her own cheek a few times "Hmm well I suppose if you assimilate a new one....but still, you would look far better stood up straight!". Her later comment does cause a faint tilt of her head before a nervous chuckle and rubbing the back of her head, the other girl's hands pushing against a fairly solid stomach as they back away "Oh its force of habit, I mean people normally like being close together and just doesn't feel natural talking from so far away, very interpersonal you know....or maybe that's just a Swedish thing."

"I'm not assimilating anything if I can help it," Kai replied, "And I'm not trying to look good, I'm just trying to get through the day." Being a recluse, Kai's focus had never been outward appearances. Scratching the back of his head, Kai made to move around Vetr to leave the restroom. "This day just keeps getting better and better," Kai muttered as she started walking.

"Hmm so guess that means putting flowers in your hair is out of the question then" giggling to herself as she continues out next to them "Oh and all things considered i can't help but agree, I made a new friend, we got to know each other, there was some nice food....all and all i do think the ups outweighed the downs no?"

"Of course that was out of the question!", Kai said, irritated. "I appreciate your efforts, I do, but this day has gone down to shit. I'm glad you're enjoying it, I'm not. I don't even want to be here to begin with, but I have to be. For five minutes, just stop. Way too much has happened in the span of an hour. You, the hot dog stand, this mess. I'm tired. Just..." Kai waved off whatever was bothering him. "I need a nap." He pulled a map out of his back pocket and reconfirmed where the dorms were. "I know they want us to stay here, but I can't deal with this mess right now," Kai had tried to take part in the festival. Today was a prime example of why he stayed in the RV sleeping when his parents drove into towns that were having them.

She stops as the girl moves away looking on a little disappointed as well as guilty, perhaps she had messed up and now they had gone a little too far trying to be playful to set them at ease but seemed they had misread the situation a little too much. Too much, too fast, and overstimulated with all the new stuff to the point they were stressed out beyond all belief...most of which was likely her fault so as much as she wants to try something else now was perhaps the time to let it go and have them unwind. Her tone turning sincere and apologetic "I'm sorry...don't worry ill cover for you if needed, take your time and have a good rest ok?" a soft smile and wave from a distance as they leave. Turning away with a sigh she runs a hand through her hair internally thinking what to do now, perhaps calling it a day as well?....she really needed a sucrose fix as a pick me up in either case so her first stop would be whatever stall was still open to load up best she could and hope nothing else gets messed up in the meantime.

Kai just nodded as Vetr apologised, "It's not your fault," he said before he went to find someone in position of authority. Finally, a little quiet. Kai had approached Vetr first, but still, how could Kai have known that this would happen?

The one person in charge he had seen seemed busy with the aftermath of the hot dog stand. Bits of mustard were still dripping from some of the stands. So instead Kai found a security officer, reasoning that if they were expected to keep a situation safe, they had to be aware of the schedule to coordinate, right? "Excuse me, sir," Kai said, tapping on the shoulder of the security officer with a badge that said 'C. Gill'. "Do you know if there's anything else on the schedule for today, or can I just go find somewhere to be that isn't in chaos?", she asked. Kai knew that in her current state she didn't look like any students on the roster, but that could be explained if asked.

Lydia stands up from the bench after her small talk with Kaden. "Well thank you, but I should probably get going. If you still need me to look after your stuffy, just let me know," She smiles and rubs the head of the stuffed man gently. "But yeah, I'll see you around I hope? C'ya." She waves goodbye to him and walks off, happy that she may have made a new friend here. It was a good feeling, the one after you just had a conversation with a potential friend. She smiles to herself and looks around, seeing that most people have dispersed from the event. She contemplates on doing the same, but what good would that be? She's here to enjoy herself, to have fun, so thats what she's gonna do...until she gets kicked out at least.

Aaliyah - Hot Dog Incident - Verite , Slav , Pandy88888

Aaliyah found the situation vexing, but managed to find some level of outward calm. Vetr was hardly the first student to take creative liberties with whatever version of the student handbook she was quoting and there was little point in arguing with her considering everything else going on. She fixed Ayako a thankful look, considering she had not used her powers to intervene and it seemed that the other students had listened to her, more or less. It would be clear to anyone looking that Aaliyah was looking pretty exhausted.

"Your first instinct should never be to use your powers to solve a problem," she said, moving to help the younger student off the ground. She meant it both to amend what Vetr had said to the students who were still listening and to reprimand Arthur. "It's just safer that way." She frowned at the younger student. "What's your name?"

"Miguel Ángel," the kid muttered in a small voice. "Most just use Miguel..."

"Okay, Miguel, come with me and I'll let the nurse check you up. And you..." She looked at Arthur. "You're off to see Carl." Arthur rolled his eyes and let out a sigh as he walked away. Carl was a part of the school's security and handled a large majority of the student punishments. Other students were giving Arthur glares as he passed but they knew better than to make a scene at this point.

Aaliyah began to escort Miguel to the main building but made a point to stop by officer Gill, who was shooting a warning look at the first student who had intervened. Judging by the smell, Aaliyah could tell the kid had cigarettes on him. It was just another matter that would have to be left alone for now.

"Get your team to start escorting students away from the fair," she said to the officer. "It's about time for orientation day to end." The officer nodded and walked past her.

From behind her, Aaliyah heard the officer say, "come with me, kid." She turned her head to find him with his hand on the shoulder of the kid who had pulled out the gun. Well, the fake gun. Yeah, that was definitely a serious matter.

“Ahaha...god damn it.” He whispered to himself. He smiled at the officer. “Don’t worry, I’m fine!” He replied. Alright, think, how do you get out of this one? I could just deny everything...but it’s only like my first day. Tell the truth? Lie a bunch? Both? Run away?

“So...what’s this about? Where we going?” Hey I wonder if he has powers, like, what’s a securityish power? Mindreading would probably be useful, but also that’s a lotta kids to keep track of. He idly thought it over while waiting for him to say something.

Chris - Pandy88888

The security officer retracted his arm. He gave the kid a tired, no-nonsense look. Days like these were always pretty exhausting. Frankly, it seemed to Chris that this kid was lucky it was him who caught notice. Half of the security officers were assigned by the government and were desperate to catch uppity kid Coursers in order to prove some kind of narrative that was twenty years old now. Even worse that most of them had powers themselves, making it pretty sad how self-hating they were.

"I'll cut you a deal," Chris said, crossing his arms. He took a glance around himself to see that some of the other officers were busy escorting other students. "Just give me the toy and I won't have to take you anywhere. I don't know what made you think that would fly here, but as you can see, some of the other kids are dangerous enough without thinking someone might shoot them"

“Sure sure...” Aquifex handed the fake gun over. “And it’s not a toy, it’s a prop. It came with the costume, I forgot about it until I put it on. Anyway, bye!” He waved, and started in the general direction of the dorms. “It’s probably this way. Where even was it? Probably this way.” He said to himself. “It’s gotta this way.”

The orientation festivities ended a bit earlier than intended thanks to Arthur's outburst and the proceeding fallout of that incident. The wind Courser had been reprimanded and was facing a couple of detentions, but the damage had not been severe enough that he was not able to return to his dorm within an hour after the fair. Considering he was not known for this behavior and that his parents were particularly active Courser activists, the school did not generally consider him a threat to.

There was someone who was particularly unimpressed with his behavior however.

"You have seriously got to be kidding me!" a girl exclaimed, her voice loud enough to extend beyond the Azurite Dorm's common room. A couple students poked their heads in to see what was going on, only to see Arthur and a girl with long, black hair arguing. Well, it was more like she was arguing at him.

"Min-a, can we not do this here--" he began to say, but the girl interrupted him.

"Oh, gee, sorry, don't want people to know the kind of guy you are. This is the third time now you've tried to flex on someone with your powers. That's just not the kind of guy I want to be with!"

Min-a let out a frustrated noise and turned away. She took a couple steps before sighing and pulling her arms into the body of her large, green sweater.

Arthur looked around at anyone gawking and shook his head. "Sure, everyone, take a picture while you're at it."

A couple students did indeed have their phones out.

"You reap what you sew," Ayako said flatly to Arthur, among the many students in the common room who had been attracted to the commotion like a moth to the flame. With her luck, she should have figured she'd have to be in the same dorm as this guy, and more than that, a shrill girlfriend. Not that she blamed Min-a for calling out Arthur's actions, but jeez.

She had no intention of getting in between their conversation either way though. It was his own problem to work with, and it'd be no skin off her back if he couldn't reconcile with his attitude. Instead, feeling a bit of a headache come, as though the excitement of the day had finally caught up with her, Ayako turned around and grunted softly, rubbing her temple with a shuddering sigh. "God, I could use a soda or something..."

"Whew, what a day!" Ren exclaimed boisterously as the festivities were put to an end because of the rather mood-killing display that Arthur had put up before. It did little to pull down Ren's spirits though, at least once the boy was out of sight and out of mind. Dropping like a brick onto a sofa in the common room, still assuming their female form, Ren stretched out their arms with a labored yet elated groan, grinning eagerly.

"God, I'm still wound up from the day! So much stuff happened and we're not even on the first real day! Here's to the first day of the rest of our lives! Who's with me?! Courser spirit and all that!" Ren exclaimed, pumping their fist into the air eagerly. Most of the other students tried their best to ignore Ren.

Charlotte had heard the call for everyone to get into their dorms. However, she didn’t return to hers until about an hour and a half after everyone else. She didn’t want to be stuck in the large crowd of people in the common room and decided if she waited a bit that perhaps everyone would be in their rooms. When she walked inside though she realized she was wrong, and she sighed heavily.

She was immediately greeted by a bickering couple who, despite Arthur’s wishes to not draw attention, min-a was all too happy to. Charlotte continued her way inside and sat cross legged on an armchair, pulling her dress down modestly and taking her hat off. Although she wasn’t in the mood for more drama, she definitely didn’t want to head to her room yet. That meant she would have to talk to her mother...

Christoph walked into the common area mumbling to himself about how long it would take to get the stains out of his clothes. He walked past the others, only responding with a groan to what Ren had said. To think he'd be rooming with him? Her? He still had no clue and really did not care as long as they didn't touch his shit. He proceeded to his room and slammed the door shut. He had to take a shower and get changed after that very unfortunate event. After a few mins, he appeared from his room, sporting a more casual look with joggers and a t-shirt, hair wet as they could be observed as having taken a shower.

He walked back to the common area, vape in one hand and a protein bar in the other. He already had one in his room earlier and was on to his second bar. He had not forgotten his hunger or his hunger had not forgotten him. He took a bite of the bar and collapsed into a chair in the common area. After quickly finishing his protein bar, he took a hit from his vape and exhaled it into the open air. It had an aroma of green apple, his favorite flavor. "Could you take it down a few notches?" Christoph asked, Ren's upbeat attitude scaring him a bit. After an event like that, how the hell could be so excited? He just wanted to relax for a bit.

"Yes!" Ann joined into Ren's chorus as she fell down on the sofa next to the shapeshifter. "That's the type of attitude I need to actually get good grades this year!" The girl put up her boots covered feet on the table and leaned back. "Man that whole thing today. Some people just have no chill. Or that's what I heard happen. Someone got mad about cheating, or whatever."

Rashida meanwhile was sitting quietly in one of the chairs a bit away from the group. While she also appreciated the enthusiasm, why did people have to be so loud all the time? Ugh...she had ditched her dirty hoodie and was now sitting in a red tank top with a cute frog face on it. Revealing her athletic body and the fact that she didn't have any arms.

"I will not! It's way too early to be tired about anything!" Ren responded to Christoph eagerly. More literally, the Sun had gone down and it was approaching night now, almost the perfect time to start to turn in, even if Ren stayed on their own wavelength about what the rest of the year had in store for them. Stretching out their svelte body, Ren was on a consistent move like a child hopped up on sugar, just as easily rolling off the sofa and onto their feet again like a cat.

A toothy grin was plastered on Ren's feminine (for the moment) features as they spun around for the fun of it, sticking their arms out as they did so. "See? Ann's got the right idea! I'm telling you, Ann! It'll be people like us that make the world go 'round!" They exclaimed haughtily, clasping their hands together with little regard for anyone else who attempted to ignore them, more likely plainly oblivious to them than anything else. Except for Christoph's case.

Rolling up near the taller blonde man, Ren maintained their friendly (perhaps to a suffocating degree) grin, resting a hand on their shapely hip. "Trust me, whether you like it or not, you'll be loosening up before the semester is over, roomie! Though, if we're gonna be roommates, I gotta make sure to change back into a boy before bed every night. Don't want you trying anything funny... unless you're into that too..." Ren teased, jokingly hugging their own body defensively.​

Vetr had been renovating her assigned room with a content smile as she hears karma coming back with a vengeance for the wind using boy allowing for an extremely cathartic experience while she worked. The various trunks had been slowly unpacked with what appeared to be a large smartboard along with multiple books in addition to her outfits, of course, gone was her prior layers in favor of only a simple vest tightly fitted with a stretched and distorted logo and shorts though the temperature of the room itself had been cranked up to nearing its maximum. The final items unloaded however were several carefully wrapped parcels to be brought over to a large rack, revealing them to be a multitude of knives from the ornate, military, traditional and more...all finely polished, others being left below in a large case but protected under a perspex lid. As she looks over her work she takes a glance towards the door, she was somewhat curious who she would be sharing this room with though for the moment she might as well head out into the dorm to meet and greet the others in a more intimate setting without the hustle and bustle of the orientation event.

Holding her hands behind her back she skips out towards the common area to scan those gathered, she was not surprised to see Kai currently absent but did want to check in with them after should there isolation persist for too long, well once she confirmed which room was there of course. Her height had allowed them to peer over the heads of the others gathered, arriving at the aftermath of Arthurs chastising through voicing up with a cheerful tone "Oh my, I was worried things were going to escalate again...though it is good to see things nothing too bad happened. I hope everyone else has been having a fun time...I'm really looking forward to classes with some of you, though not sure who will be with what for those" giving a wave of greeting to those present to attempt to get a jump start with the social aspect of her time at the school

“And that’s how I got lost in Ikea for two hours!” He finished, to anyone who was listening, which was probably no one. “Anyway, what’s everyone’s like super deal...uhhh like.. superpower thing?” He asked to the room. “Personally, I do like...water stuff. “

“I uhh...stopped a storm a little and went into a coma, that’s how I knew I had super-whatevers. I dunno if that’s normal, How’d you guys figure it out?” He looked around the room, trying to give a friendly smile but giving up on the smile and just trying to look friendly.

Stepping into her room she noticed her roommate was not inside, guessing she might be at the common room. She tossed her satchel on to her bed before tossing herself on to the bed. She sighed figuring if she should go out to the common room. Siting up she adjusted her glasses and stood up, with a book in hand she walked towards the common room.

“ Hi” with a small smile and a wave, she greeted the others. Walking over to one of the sofas before taking a seat and opening her book. She read her book at times looking up and could not help but quietly chuckle at how excited Ren was.

Charlotte sat back in the couch as the guy beside her began rambling about his powers. She figured she may as well begin interacting with others and make friends. That’s what everyone else seemed to be thinking as well. Unfortunately everyone here seemed to have high energy tonight. Charlotte was less than energetic, the thought of sleeping occupying her thoughts. She was very determined not to talk to her mother quite yet though, so she settled on turning her attention to the curious boy beside her.

“Water powers? That’s not very specific,” she smiled, “although I would love to know more about this coma. ‘Name’s Charlotte by the way, it’s nice to meet you.” She turned her head in the direction of the guy’s voice and gave him a half smile.
