A wide grin appeared across Izzy's face as he took in the sight of Lumi Academy.  The ferry ride over had been mind-numbingly dull, especially compared to the mad dash to port that had preceded it -- Izzy had spent the past several days hopelessly lost in between Verdanturf and Petalburg City.  His decision to forsake the routes and instead traverse the wilderness had been bold, especially given the rapidly approaching date for his ferry, and though a somewhat convoluted trip, it was well worth it.  Izzy had even made friends with a Lotad along the way -- a Lotad that had evolved into the newest member of the team.  Izzy grinned even wider -- Yes, the memorable journey made the destination that much sweeter.

Izzy looked down at the two papers in his hands.  One was a small pamphlet; a map of the entire academy grounds, and the other was his student information, which included his dormitory number.  Though eager to explore the campus, he decided that it was best to drop off his things first.

"[color=6ecff6][b]Besides,[/b][/color]" he said to himself, looking down at his dirty and slightly torn shirt, "[color=6ecff6][b]I think I need a shower.[/b][/color]"

"[color=6ecff6][b]Room 1-B.[/b][/color]" Izzy glanced from his information sheet to the plate on the door. "[color=6ecff6][b]I guess this is it. Hellooooo?![/b][/color]"

Following a quick rap on the door, he headed inside.  A rather bare yet welcoming room awaited him.  The dormitory was clearly well-maintained.  Izzy took quick notice of the furniture -- beds and dressers had been an uncommon luxury recently.  Not that he minded.  What he paid more notice to, however, was the other occupants of the room: A giant snake in the closet, a fiery hedgehog-like creature on the bed, and a girl with glasses and a braid of reddish-brown hair. His roommate(s), he presumed.

"[color=6ecff6][b]Heya.[/b][/color]" Izzy said, plopping his lone rucksack at the foot of his new bed. "[color=6ecff6][b]The name's Isaiah, but everyone calls me Izzy.[/b][/color]"

With another wide grin, he extended his hand. "[color=6ecff6][b]Nice to meet'cha![/b][/color]"
