Meet and Greet [Intro #2]

[utopiamods]

You are brought to your campus and shown to your dorm rooms before you are given permission to wander the campus and the town. Meaning Fortitude students can mingle with Conquest students, they can go visit the shop (shop post will be up later today), or speak to the headmistresses and mayor. Each student now has the Exaclan manuals, a uniform, a school bag with either a shield or a sword on it, and the glove used to pull weapons.

But make sure to come to the battle area later to see the exhibition match! 

Take advantage of the free day, the freedom won't last long. Sooner rather than the later the round will start, Players will be named, Weapons will lose their privileges, and the battles will begin. So you might as well go out and make friend or start rivalries, anything to help you along later in the round.

Conquest infirmary

[bloodbrother]

Finally, sweet relief. It was fortunate that Sam had discovered that he was employed here, and not being forced to go through high school all over again. But he pushed those memories away. He'd drawn all the blinds and all of the curtains, so now dark shadows were cast across the rooms. He left the door open, though, in case anyone wanted to stop in. He had fixed his shirt and tie, now that he wasn't so overheated. He had his lab coat on, and his suit jacket hung off the back of his desk chair.

He angled his seat so he could be plainly seen from the door, and he had his nose in this so-called manual he'd been given. This thing was much more useful than his supposed 'prefect'. Thinking about her dragged his eyes out of the book and onto the pink sneakers he wore that were currently kicked up on his desktop for all to see. A strange memento, they were. But it reminded him that once upon a time she would have been the kind of person he would have pursued.

[shakes]

H-hello?

[He has stopped in the door, not sure if it is really okay to enter with the room dark like this.]

[bloodbrother]

[Looks up, and he sees the shaking.] Hey there, are you alright? [He puts his book down and gets up. Concerned face.]

[shakes]

Y...es.

[That is exactly why he is here, yes.]

D-do you have sleeping aids?

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, I probably do. But I don't want to just hand them over without knowing what's going on first. You're shaking.

[shakes]

I a-am sorry.

[He tries to calm the tremor but it doesn't really work.] Th...is always happens.

[bloodbrother]

You always shake like that?

[shakes]

S...ometimes more and sometimes less, b-but yes.

[bloodbrother]

I see... [He considered for a moment. Then he turned to the cabinet. After a bit of work and rummaging, he came back with a small bottle.] That should do for a week. Take care with them, alright?

[shakes]

Y-yes. H...ow much should I take for a night?

Once he'd found his assigned dorm room, read the manual he'd been provided with, and changed into the uniform he'd been provided (minus the shoes, which for some reason had frustrated him to no end) -- the garments were strange, but much warmer than what he'd arrived wearing -- Golbez proceeded to familiarize himself with the Conquest campus. Before long he came to the infirmary and stepped inside.

When he saw Sam sitting there, he spoke. "What is this room?"

[bloodbrother]

He looked up and smiled. "Hi! This is the infirmary, actually." He got up to his feet. This guy was clearly an adult. He offered a hand for a shake. "Dr. Samuel Henderson. I'm going to be in charge of this humble little office."

[stoppedhiding]

Samuel looked young, but Golbez was used to seeing young people skilled in healing, so it wasn't much of a surprise. At least he looked slightly older than Santana and Nanami.

After a moment's hesitation, he shook the other man's hand briefly. "Golbez. It seems I'm supposed to be teaching astronomy."

[bloodbrother]

"It's good to meet you," he replied, smiling. "Teaching astronomy is a surprise for you?" That was something he didn't expect. Bringing in teachers that don't actually know the thing they're supposed to teach? Golbez seemed like an okay guy even if he was big and kind of stern-looking. There was something about him that seemed unusual though. Like he wasn't human. But when he tried to narrow it down his mind got a little cloudy.

[stoppedhiding]

"Teaching anything is a surprise for me," he clarified. "I do know a bit about the subject, but I am not a teacher."

At least they'd had the good sense to put an actual healer in charge of the infirmary.

[bloodbrother]

Healer. Doctor. Same difference right? "Well, good luck all the same. High school kids can be jerks."

[stoppedhiding]

"Thank you. And the same to you."

Could they? That wasn't reassuring.

"Well, then." He turned to leave. He still had the rest of the campus to see.

[bloodbrother]

"See you later!" he waved as Golbez left.

That first meeting with a fellow teacher went pretty well, he thought. He was kind of glad he hadn't been put in front of a classroom. He wasn't sure he could do it.
