Grintham Stoneshield
Location:
The Hall of Two Paths
School:
Battle Magic
"Sir, aye, sir!" Grintham responded, inching away indiscernibly. Though, in spite of his growing sense of trepidation, the dwarf had a question he desperately wanted to know the answer to.
Character:
Kazhra
Location:
Mage Tower
School:
Standard Magic
Kazhra withdrew back inside her hood, getting the feeling Tristran had ignored her on purpose, and made her way to the cafeteria, giving the blackened orb a furtive look as she passed it.
The orc took a plate and quickly piled it high with meat. To say there was a lack of greenery on her plate would have been an understatement, for she had a deep mistrust of anything that claimed to be edible, while having spent half of its life living partially underground and the other half getting eaten by small animals, instead there was a one colour and one colour alone: red.
The only moment of indecisiveness the orc experienced came when it was time for her to take a seat, for, as all introverts know, it is no good taking a seat when there is even the slightest chance someone else will take the one next to you.

Heraldus frowned at the speech and scribbled in a note book he had conjured.
Poor safety regulations
Lack of administration on component use
Leo looked around the room. Well...the selection of literature wasn't bad, though he'd have to see the parts as well. But he really wanted to get a look at the school's communal library and...
The young man's thoughts became derailed as he looked upon a tall man wearing spectacles and scribbling in a note book beside him. Leo's face tightened into a look of growing horror as the mans robes seemed to scrunch up slightly, giving the folds a look of two hollow eyes which glared at him.

"Now for some general stuff." Richard said scratching his head. "There will be mechagnomes around here and the other classes to keep you all from doing something that could kill you." He said and looked down at Clink and Clank that had walked threw the portal and where now standing beside him. "Any thing else?" He asked them.
"The other classes." Clink said.
"Depthcharge." Clank added.
"Oh right." Richard said nodding and looked back up at the students. "Please be respectful of the other teachers and students and all that." He said. "And if any of you are walking around the grounds and notice a titansteel plated diving suit walking around don't freak out he's actually very tame and is probably just looking for flowers or something." He added.
"Now you are free for the rest of the day to explore the grounds and get something to eat in the cafeteria up stairs. Classes start tomorrow morning." He finished.
Mark also noticed the yellow eyes and took a step back in a mixture of fear and confusion.

Collegium Grounds
Brow deepening a little, Heraldus scribbled down more notes.
Poor safety regulations
Lack of administration on component use
Delegates tasks to machines
Dangerous constructs permitted to wander halls
Heraldus sharply underlined the last. As he did so, the folds of his robes gained something resembling a mouth, which smiled menacingly at Leo and winked before the face smoothed back into the fabric.
Leo nudged Joshua. "Did you see that?" he hissed.

: Eryan Arnell, Joaquin Santiago
Location
: Mage Tower
"This is atrociously good," Eryan declared, plumping down next to Vera, the pile of food on his already impressively wide plate high enough to reach his chest.
Character
: Siber Antares, Androw Kavendish, Stefan Meszaros
Location
: the Hall of Two Paths
"Capital," Stefan nodded. He took a deliberate pause, to see if anyone would try and speak up.
Siber gulped, then mustered his guts and spoke, "Sir, permission to speak, sir!"
"Granted," the taskmaster inclined his head to the side, eying the scarred youth intently.
"Sir, I request permission to escort Kavendish to the infirmary, sir!" Siber said, already partly regretting his recklessness.
"To your untrained eye, Antares, his wounds require immediate attention," Stefan hissed. "However, I can assure you he is more than capable to endure until the end of the lecture. Or perhaps you would like some painkillers, Kavendish?" he asked, retrieving the whip.
Androw choked down a whimper and mumbled, trying to stand straight, "Sir, negative, sir."
"See?" the taskmaster let out a short cackle. "Your compassion for the fellow student, Antares - who is a nascent mage, if my judgment is any good, - is duly noted."
Siber bit down a sharp exhale of surprise - it seemed that the instructor had done some background check, at the very least on him and Androw. He gulped again and uttered, "Sir."
"There will be time for questions later today, so do attempt to hold in memory those you have already," Stefan continued, as if forgetting about Antares and Kavendish entirely.
"You have to understand one simple fact. Undoubtedly, you heeded every word of our lauded headmaster, and thus are aware of the rule that forbids you from using your abilities outside of class. The other two courses are not like you - they are scholars, starry-eyed philosophers and tinkerers. You, on the other hand, came here to become killers. Refined machines of war and destruction, capable of wreaking havoc on truly cataclysmic scale.
You are not worthy of using that kind of power yet. At least, not until you have proven otherwise through arduous work and complete dedication. Some of you may very well never earn that privilege.
That is why you cannot be trusted yet. That is why we cannot rely on your word alone. That is why, from this moment and until you pass a very specific trial, the Overseer shall be with you at all times."
Stefan took out a metallic eight-pointed star with a ruby embedded into its center and pointed it at the large stone sphere hanging at the center of the Hall. A thin beam of blood red energy was loosed from the gemstone, hitting a vortex of converging grooves on the surface of the monolith. Gradually, they lit up with the same eery light, the shining spreading smoothly as if molten metal was being poured onto the sphere. The construction began to rotate ever so slowly, all the while emitting a soothing, barely audible, low hum.
Siber shook his head. At the back of his cranium he now felt a presence; somehow, he knew that if he closed his eyes, he would be able to point in the Overseer's exact location. The sensation was not unpleasant, far from it, but it was completely alien to the boy. Even Androw gasped in surprise, almost forgetting about the thin lines of blood trickling down his neck - though, true to Stefan's word, it seemed like none of the major blood vessels were damaged, with only the topmost layers of skin punctured.
"Not only shall you be left writhing on the floor in agony for minutes if you try to use your abilities, however developed they may be, with the Overseer in effect, I shall know of it personally. And believe me when I say it," Stefan paused and smiled meaningfully, "You do not want that to happen."

"Not atrocious!" Vera cried in mock horror as she cut off a slice of worg steak. She brought the succulent and still slightly red meat to her lip and bit down. "Mmmmm," she moaned with a smile, slowly savouring the meat. "That's gooood. You have got to try the worg steak. It just melts in-your-mouth," she told Eryan.

Callyx, a tray of well-balanced nutritious food in hand, moved over to where Eryan and Vera sat, deciding to test the waters. "Where I'm from, dog is generally not considered a meat animal."

"Then wherever you are from has never known famine. Lucky you," Eryan replied to the androgynous student, skewering a piece of worg-steak onto his fork and sending it into his mouth.
"Mmmmm, you're right! Delicious!" he said excitedly, covering his mouth with the back of his hand so as not to spit his food all over the place.

"Stormwind. What about you... Callyx, right?" Eryan asked. He was unsure whether the other was a boy, or a girl, or even human for that matter, but since they did not look like his type, it did not bother him too much.

((introducing a new character, though damn I wish I signed up for techno, looks so fun!))
Character:
Kaestan Redstar, Meeba Miniblaze & Violet Clark
Location:
Mage Tower Cafe
School:
Standard Magic
Kaestan eyed his key curiously before reaching up and plucking the orb out of the air and stashing it away safely in his pack. "Arcane signature eh?" the elf murmured, tapping on the strap of his pack as he headed towards the cafeteria. His mind was on the key as he piled his plate with a few dainty looking greens and a thick, meaty stew.
The elf headed towards a the closest table, tucking into his food and taking out the orb, studying it as he ate.
~
"Oh gosh," Meeba grumbled, unhappy about having to drag all her things down the stairs. She didn't bother tucking the orb away, content just to let it follow her. At last she arrived at the cafeteria, throwing her books down at the foot of a table with an orc sitting at it. "Oh gosh, would you mind watching this for me?" Meeba piped, not waiting for an answer before she turned on her heel, her long robes sweeping behind her. "I'm
starving
!"
~
Meanwhile, a young woman named Violet was crowded at the buffet tables with so many others, gently filling her plate with vegetables and fruits and sauces, ignoring anything meat based. She had long blonde hair (darker brown towards the roots, almost as if it was changing colour as it grew out) pulled up in a mass of elaborate, perfect curls. Her ears were slightly pointed and, if she smiled, slightly larger canines would be visible as well.
She was clothed in her best dress, a baby blue silk and lace piece sewn by her mother. A delicate rose pattern trimmed the full bodied skirt and made up the bodice. Immediately upon arriving, Violet realized she was overdressed for the occasion, but she supposed that owning an air of sophistication was never a bad thing.
Violet gingerly approached the group of people sitting at one of the tables. They were discussing the various meats they were biting into. Violet licked her lips and stood for several seconds before finally speaking up, her voice soft and timid.
"Excuse me, may I sit with you?"

Kutom'bai stood rigid as the instructor continued. She respected how he did things - perhaps he was raised by trolls, she thought with a silent chuckle.
She will earn his respect.

Veraldine, Arthur, Miss Skivvers
Location:
Mage Tower
Veraldine eyed the new girl intently. Seems to have some wealth, or at least decent taste judging by the clothes. A bit shy perhaps, maybe because of her ears...Yes, she thought with a smile. She could work with that.
"Have a seat," she invited genially.
Arthur wandered after Kaestan, the eye still intently eying him. He had given up trying to grab it, the thing had a tendency to know just where his hand was going and as a consequence not be there from one moment to the next. Loading up a simple bowl of somewhat bland gruel and grabbing a glass of water, he made his way to the seat next to Kaestan and plopped down.

"Thank you," the girl replied, smiling shyly before sitting down, her eyes on her food. She played with the fork a little bit, pushing food around on her plate as she looked up at the others. "Oh, my name is Violet," she said quietly, nodding her head politely at the others. "It's nice to meet you all."
Kaestan smiled up at Arthur, glad the man had stuck around. "That's all you're having?" the elf asked, raising an eyebrow at the plate. "With all the plethora of delicacies, you chose... porridge? May I ask why?"

"Nice to meet you as well, Violet, I'm Eryan," the ginger boy smiled at the newcomer, then turned back to Vera.
"You should try this apple," he said, cutting off a golden slice and offering it to the girl.
