[b][i] – Leroy[/i][/b]

Still painting, Leroy noticed a young lady (Lily) that had walked into his field of view and therefore, the scenery he was painting. He was actually waiting for the first layer of paint to dry a bit before adding more details on top of it, so if he really wanted to then he could easily add the girl to his work. From what he could tell, she seemed to be talking to herself and doing strange things with the water (he wrongly assumed she was using some sort of ability to consciously make water move like that).

Smiling, he took a few steps away from the canvas and cupped his hands over his mouth into a funnel, yelling to catch the girl’s (Lily) attention from where he was on the shore. “Hey! Since you’re already out there, can I add you to my painting?!!” Waving to make it easier for her to see who was calling out to her, he continued, “I promise not to make you look bad in it!!”

[b][i] – Ara (A)[/b][/i]

Ara raised a brow, confused as to whether or not Carmen was telling him a wild joke. She had to be, right? He did think it was a little strange to be sent a letter telling him the entire academy would be on an island instead of the regular campus due to construction, but Carmen’s summary of events was more than a little difficult to swallow. “Okay… So all I really got from that was that the campus was damaged, and I didn’t miss too many classes. What really happened over there?” He asked, knowing he was probably being a little too serious compared to the light-hearted tone Carmen was using.

Nodding to her returned question he answered, “Yeah, I’m also a student. I got attacked by a Doppelganger, almost died, and ended up here as a result of it.” Finishing his life story in just one sentence, he wondered if it was too much information for just a first-time meeting, but he didn’t wonder that for very long. Shrugging he thought, [i]‘Meh. She’s the one that asked.’[/i] He reflexively turned around when he heard a general greeting from a girl with reddish-brown hair (Kathy), but quickly turned back to Carmen as he remembered he didn’t know anyone here yet. Well, he technically ‘knew’ Carmen now. Ara asked her, “Since I answered properly, does that mean I get to hear your story too?”
