"Surprising, short. It wasn't too bad," he stated rather sheepishly, though this type of reaction was fairly normal, he reckoned. And to his surprise, she was willing to help -- great! . . Now, what to ask? There was too much to ask, it might even prove to be difficult to wade through the murky depths of his slightly confused mind.

"Well. . I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Ruby was still looking around, walking behind the man who introduced himself as Thomas Skywalker when an unfamiliar face approached the two. She had red hair and introduced herself as "Mystique". It was pretty name, if not unique. "Oh, hey there, I'm Ruby," he said, holding out a hand for introduction.

This is good, maybe she could give him some insight on magic, dragons and the academy or so he hoped.

Do you think that we should until another student falls in before we continue our talk?

@Aisling

There's only one other level one for now, but maybe we could get another a level two to explain to Ruby? I'm not partial to anything in specific, I'm fine with either waiting or continuing.

"Well, that's reassuring. As long as I don't die or anything, I'd definitely love to learn magic," he says with a soft smile. Well, this could definitely be interesting!

"Good to meet you as well, sir. And uhh, I'm not sure how to feel," he admits, "I've never believed in magic before and I still can't tell if this is a dream or not, but I'm not against learning magic. . if I fit the requirements, that is."

This was strange. It was almost like they were expecting him. . just not him. He knew it probably was the best idea to trust strangers, but he can definitely make an exception for this case, "Ruby. . Ruby Christopher Maddox."

"No, I didn't hurt anything," Ruby states rather casually, before standing up. "It was about as smooth as I can expect after. . . erm, falling through a painting? I don't know, I've never done that before," he shrugs, "I'm sorry, where did you say we are?"

The first strike was falling and the second was landing on the grass. It wasn't exactly a dizzying feeling like he had expected, but the third strike was definitely wondering where he was and why he wasn't inside. Just a few moments ago, he was helping an old man help clean the interior of his house to raise a little extra money and now Ruby Maddox was sitting on the grass in an unknown location.

There was the painting he was asked to move, something that. . called to him. Almost like it echoed in his heart --

. . and that sounded totally ridiculous.

But none the less, he touched it and ended up falling through. Ruby shook his head, looking around. He seemed to have landed in front some sort of school. . well, he didn't exactly believe in magic, but he didn't disbelieve in either. This would probably be a good time to start believing -- better than any other, he had to admit.

Everyone has been accepted and placed in their respective rooms! I will be starting the IC this evening.

@Aisling

Awesome, looking forward to it!

Ah my bad. You seem like someone who'd be going to MIT or another Ivy League School, and very cool. I just started community college myself.

@Sheogorath

That's very flattering to hear. And good luck with that, my sister also just began community college as well.
