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.

Comments

[independencesong]

Of course. [She nods.] If I can ever help any, let me know?

[pysankya]

Of course. Although, things will be very strange while we are here. Feels... very unlike home, yes?

[independencesong]

Incredibly unlike home. At least there are some familiarities.

[The brush of her arm against his is probably accidental. Probably.]

[pysankya]

yes, but em glad that you are here. Is very comforting to see familiar face.

[Certainly accidental, but that won't stop him from gently bumping his arm back against hers.]

[independencesong]

And one that is actually the gender you're expecting, at that. [She gives him a little smile, although he should pick up on her continued unease at the whole Lithuania situation.] I'm glad you're here, too. We'll find a way out together.

[pysankya]

Yes, even if people who should be girls are boys and countries I heff never heard of exist. Is very odd, I em very glad you're here Reeta.

[independencesong]

It'll be fine.

[Her arm bumps his again. She really ought to walk further from him.]

[pysankya]

[He'll laugh and gently put a hand on her shoulder. It's different but nice, he likes being able to touch her without having her move immediately away from him.]

Good.

[independencesong]

[She may not be perfectly at ease with contact, but on days like this, when things are stubbornly determined not to make any sense at all, she'll take his touching. She'll take anything familiar.

Out of things to say, though, Estonia will simply walk in silence alongside Ukraine for a while, before grabbing his hand to wordlessly pull him into an interesting looking shop. Books seem to have caught her eye.]

[pysankya]

[Of course it's books, he's glad to know some things have yet to change in her personality.He'll follow gladly, looking around the shop and poking at a few books on the top shelves.]

[independencesong]

[Estonia will be in here a while, unchanging with her affection for books, but consideration for her companion kicks in and she'll wander back to purposely look at things near Ukraine, to judge and see if he's getting impatient yet.]

[pysankya]

[Ukraine has the patience of a saint. Having gone looking on books about plants within this region he'll be thoroughly engrossed in an encyclopaedia of various flowering plants. He hasn't even noticed they had spent so long in the bookstore.]

[independencesong]

[After a silent moment of appreciation - complete and utter enamoured adoration, actually - for him, Estonia turns to the bookshelf behind him and continuing her slight love affair with the book collection here.]

[pysankya]

[Ukraine will take the book, holding it carefully and wander over to where Estonia had likely stuck her head into more books. gently, he'll tap her on the shoulder.] Heffing good time looking?

[independencesong]

A fantastic time. [Although she responds immediately, Estonia doesn't look up until she's finished scanning the paragraph she was on, then simply closes the book between her palms as she smiles at him.]

It's very soothing in here.

[pysankya]

It is, good books too. Did you find a good one?

[He'll peer over her shoulder at whatever book she had managed to hold between her palms, attempting to identify the cover.]

[independencesong]

Ah, just a study of some things. Nothing terribly interesting.

[She slides the book back onto the shelf, obviously not terribly attached to it.] Are you finished?

[pysankya]

Yes. Was just interested in local plants, seems to be much like home.

[He'll smile and move back to let her get around him.]

[independencesong]

Good, so I've got the same accidental walks through unpleasant fields to look forward to here.

[Estonia actually chuckles to finish that, not moving too far from Ukraine as they head out. The books put her in a better mood, as they often did.]

[pysankya]

[Ukraine will laugh at her comment, following her form the shop and shaking his head.]

They are not hard walks, all you do is read book last time you visited and I hed to feed animals. Besides, is not like there are many fields here in town.

[independencesong]

No, but should we find any... [Falling into step beside him, she idly places a hand low on his back.]

And I hope you're not expecting my visits in your future to entail much else besides reading. I may multi-task excellently, but I still love my books.

[pysankya]

[He'll smile at her, still unsure about how much she's touching him but he enjoys it.]

I did not think anything would change, you are very much own person and would be strange not to see you reading book as we walk through fields together.

[independencesong]

Good. I, uh... [Oh, hello feelings, where did you suddenly come from? A bit sheepish, Estonia drops her hand.] I'll always enjoy walking through fields with you, and... well, and books.

[pysankya]

Good! I really enjoy it, you are good friend and company, Reeta.

[Sev will put a large hand on her shoulder and give it a squeeze before putting his hands in the pockets of his trousers.]

Mebbe instead of fields with will be gardens? There seem to be many of them here.

[independencesong]

You're a good friend, too, Sevastien. And I think walking through gardens with you would be lovely.
