[quote=@Pseudo Stygian] It took her a second before she could hone back to the real world. She glanced at her new friend, who was still waiting patiently. "Oh, right! I'm Lyra, and this is Vera. We're, umm, my friend and I are thinking of exploring the academy. Do you know of any interesting place, err, Ms. Hargreaves?" [/quote] [quote=@Raptra] Vera addressed Catherine again. "Oh, would you happen to know anything about the light element? Or is there anywhere I can go to get some help on that?" [/quote] [color=f49ac2]"It's a pleasure to have you both at this academy,"[/color] Catherine said, glad to see the look of wonder and curiosity in their eyes. [color=f49ac2]"There are many natural biomes to explore around the campus, from forests to cliffs to lakes, even tunnels, active lava zones, and hot springs. While air elementalists tend to prefer places with some altitude to practice their art, it is only your first day here, and nobody is expected to start training before having had any instruction. Personally, I like visiting the hot springs after a long journey; it does wonders for the skin and will keep you young and healthy."[/color] Turning to Vera, [color=f49ac2]"Light is a fascinating element. You might want to seek out Mr. R. Hellor, our resident, venerable lord of light. Although, I've personally found that understanding the scientific principles behind an element can help a student grasp the concepts of elemental manipulation in innovative ways that are sometimes better than direct mentorship. For example, both light and sound have wave properties, imagine what unique ways you two could express your gifts if you collaborated with each other?"[/color] [hr] [quote=@KRAZY J] As the headmaster turned to show off his regenerative abilities to another student Jake turned to ShiZhen [color=red]"Don't worry it's just the head master I heard he's not really a living person maybe he's held together by his elemental power. That would be pretty awesome and don't worry if someone tries doing anything like that to you I'll kick there ass."[/color] Then Jake heard the head master speaking and turned back around still in between ShiZhen and the head master. After the head master welcomed the students Jake bowed as well [color=red]"Thank you head master your freaking awesome dude I wanna be able to spare with you one day so I guess I better get good at regenerating."[/color] Jake smiled while putting up his fist with a rock on gesture. Then Jake turned back around to ShiZhen. [color=red]"So where do you wanna go first?"[/color] [/quote] [color=a187be]"Eehh? Not really alive?!"[/color] ShiZhen cringed, worried that she had signed up for something that was far beyond her. She didn't want to fight, she didn't want to encounter undead, she just want to get her dripping under control. In response to Jake's question, ShiZhen said, [color=a187be]"I don't know, J, maybe someplace with some fresh air."[/color] She knew she could sure use some to get over her mounting anxiety. Then she remembered something, [color=a187be]"J, do otters have pockets?"[/color] [@Zelosse][@Lord Orgasmo][@Aquanthe]
