While Altay was a place of tolerance, he had always been told the outside was quite different, so it was strange to find non-humans in such prominent positions. Maybe the outside was more tolerant than everyone had thought? The staff decided to show them a little film to induct them into the school. At first, Berke thought they were in for a pleasant experience, but then the film got really dark and disturbing at the end. It made him think about just how sheltered he had been back in Altay. But the ultimate intention was one of hope, and that was something that Berke could get behind. He had come here for no other reason than to make himself useful just like those Mages in the film. Berke was eager to fill his plate up quick, though not for the sake of a meal. While he could be a big eater when he wanted to be, Berke was more concerned about finding someone to sit down with and have a good chat. In the end, his meal was a fairly simple collection of meats and starchy fruits and vegetables. He always needed to keep his protein up. However, it was not a happy moment that awaited him upon finishing his task, but a dismaying one. He chanced upon a pair of people, one of which was loudly saying something about a "declaration of war". Berke was quite worried that these two were about to break the very rule that the nice lady from earlier had told them not to, and start a fight in the cafeteria. By the moment Berke had made his way over to diffuse the situation, however, it seemed the situation had diffused itself. He had no idea what the dog Chimera was going on about, but from the sound of it, he didn't intend to fight. This was good. Joining the group, Berke added, [color=fff79a]"Yes, let's all...uh, "energize" ourselves together!"[/color] Before sitting down to eat near his fellow Chimeras. He wasn't sure if the girl had any intention of starting a fight, but hopefully she would be inclined to just sit down and eat regardless. [color=fff79a]"Oh, and I'm Berke."[/color] He said to his new, loud friend. [color=fff79a]"What's your name?"[/color] [@HokumPocus][@Rekaigan] [color=f6989d][b][h3][center]Mycona Frisa[/center][/h3][/b][/color] Mycona did not understand this "ceremony". Mycona had read that there was an "Administrator" at the Mordhaben's, but what she didn't understand was why the Administrator had a large other standing near them, making strange gestures as they spoke. The Mordhaben's was already confusing her to no end with their strange rituals. She did not understand a number of the words they used either, such as "Technician" or "presentation". For some reason, they all stepped aside as some strange picture show began. Mycona couldn't understand this either. What did the person speaking have to do with the Mordhaben's and magics? Eventually, the pictures changed to that of more strange others, all doing things Mycona didn't fully understand. What Mycona could gather is that some of them were very surprised because a town had gone. Were towns not supposed to go? Mycona had gone from home when she came to the Mordhaben's. Maybe the town was also at the Mordhaben's? Mycona would have to ask the Administrator if that was the case. After more words she couldn't quite figure out, all the others began to move off somewhere else. Was the ceremony over? Were they going to start using magics? Evidently not, as they just ended up shuffling around, stopping to hear one of the others say things. What Mycona did understand was that they were going to have breakfast. They had breakfast at home. Mycona wasn't sure if this place had breakfast, but it this confirmed it. Mycona loved breakfast. All the interesting sensations she got from consuming food were almost as amazing as the magics she had seen and read about. This was something she not only understood, but could participate in. Once in the cafeteria, Mycona initially began to grab as much food as she could. Mother and Father had instructed her on how to eat properly, so she knew better than to make a mess, but she still wanted to eat as much new food as she could. Half way through her task, she remembered that she still needed to find a "friend". The ceremony was over, so she wondered if it would be easier to find a friend now. She embarked on the task of finding a friend with new vigor, but quickly found that many of the responses she received were the same. Where oh where could a friend be, she wondered.
