[center][h2][u]The Dorms[/u][/h2][/center] As partners found each other, happily or not, the students slowly left the courtyard for their new residences. Some took the available bus while others made the ten minute walk across the academy grounds. Those who walked would find wrought iron lamp posts lining the walkways that led to the dorms. A variety of flora grew along side the paths, often circling large clearings where benches and tables were placed in the event students wished to relax on the grounds. Students followed small placards that gave directions to a gate swung open and two mages. As students passed through, they could feel the prickles of magic as the mages thoroughly inspected each individual. The bus however only took a few minutes. The bus, a luxury liner gifted from the Eves before their struggles, followed the curving road outside the Academy’s walls. The noise inside the bus was muted, chatter kept at hushed volumes. They were let off just inside the gated community at the bus stop opposite from where students walking left the Academy. The dorms were located in a gated community attached to the Academy. All blues and golds, the dorms were attached in groups of four, each sharing their walls, before breaking off and starting a new one. Between each building was a small garden with a pagoda lit up with fairy lights twining around the support beams. If someone needed brighter lighting, each pagoda did have a light switch for a bright overhead light. Each unit had its own mailbox and students would find two keys in it which would unlock the front door. Each mailbox also has an envelope with the student’s class schedule. [Hider=Regular Dorms] The dorms are basically condos, attached at the side with four units to a section. Each unit is painted blue and gold with a mahogany door. The names of the residents are on a brass plate attached to a stone mailbox ten feet in front of the door. When entering, there is a kitchen to the left with a small hall opening into the combined dining and living room. There is a dark wood table, an expensive looking couch, a flat screen television, two bookcases, and a glass display case. A sliding glass door opens out onto a small patio fully furnished which then opens out to a small fenced in backyard that looks out into the forest. There are two bedrooms, neither with windows. Each has a luxury queen sized bed, small closet, a chest of drawers, a bookcase, and a desk. Each room has an attached bathroom. One is smaller than the other, one containing a tub and shower combination and the other only a shower with a glass door. Both have a small linen closet and dark wood cabinets as well as a toilet and sink. [/hider] If you walk past the normal dorms however, students will find themselves looking at for stand alone dorms the circle a large cul-de-sac. These dorms are twice as large as most and are very clearly separated from the rest. Each unit has its own private yard, surrounded by a stone fence, and looks out into the Noila’s forest. These units also have mailoxes, each with the symbol of one noble house. Starting from the left, the order is Marivaldi, Eve, Sinnenodel, and Astorio. [Hider=Noble Dorms] Unlike the common students, the noble families have private dorms. These are the size of two units and are unattached and separate from the rest of the dorms. The first Sinnenodel invited to the school nearly quit when she heard she would be living with the common populace and the Noilas were forced to build separate housing. These dorms each have a small stone wall surrounding them and circle the same cul-de-sac. The exteriors look identical as the others, however each one has it's respective family's crest on the mailbox instead of a name. Upon entering, it is immediately different. To the left is a small study area with three full bookshelves on subjects ranging from history to magic theory to politics. Two desks are facing g each other, both with an adjustable lamp and paper, pen, and pencils neatly arranged. To the right is a formal sitting room, four leather chairs placed in a circle facing each other with a side table with each. A small chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are all separate rooms but are furnished the same as the other units with the expedition of an additional China cabinet in the dining room fully stocked. The back patio has more furniture and a grill for mages who enjoy cooking. Little wind chimes hang from the ceiling and the view into the forest is breathtaking, if one appreciates such things. The two rooms are much more different however. Both the same, each has a king sized four poster bed, a walk in closet with a full length mirror, a vanity, a dresser, a bookcase, and two bedside tables. The bathrooms attached to the rooms each have a stand alone clawfoot bathtub, a separate shower with glass walls, dark wood cabinets, a toilet, sink, and linen closet.
