The rest of the scene went unnoticed by the two sisters. Phoebe because she was having a chat with these wonderful staffers, and Jasmine because... well, she was still getting over the sickness (and the humiliation that her first impression was vomitting).
"... And that's why we're hidin' up here in space! There's like a few hundred people wantin' to kill us after what we did!" Sonya finished her story.
"Ah, yeah... right..." Phoebe was disturbed, and chose to expunge that horrible story out of her mind through any means necessary. However, it wasn't long before everyone was called for the entrance speech. It was about time! Phoebe had so many questions to ask! Like how the Promise functioned up here in space, and how their little classes were going to go.
Right when they called, Phoebe grabbed the much stronger Jasmine by the collar of her shirt and pulled her off. But, there was one last thing Sonya had to say to her.
"Hey, don't tell Henry I told ya' about the Christmas party!" Sonya shouted.
Phoebe didn't intend on sharing nothing that Sonya told her (In fact, she was just going to pretend she never met Sonya in the first place), and instead merely looked over her shoulder and smiled. Before picking up the pace, and getting into that room with the rest of them. Jasmine had zero Goddamn idea of what Sonya was talking about... and honestly, if it involved Phoebe, it was probably going to be lame.
They made it to the auditorium, and Jasmine was getting over her sickness quite well. But that didn't last long when she immediately raised her eyebrow when the giant lizard showed up. They got Godzilla running the place, with frog girl? She sweared to all that is holy, if the Promise is just a front to where they sent the ugly ones, then she'd ride on a damn meteor to get back to Earth. Whatever it took to get away from Freaks R' Us.
Then it got weirder when the girls phones buzzed with a robotic voice of sorts... They were about to throw their phones away when Henry explained it was Zoey... they basically had their own AI assistant. Well, Zoey was not going to have this robot thing peeking around her phone, and personal information, so a part of her wondered if she should ask to have "Zoey" removed from her phone. Knowing this school, it'd probably get swatted down with some "It's for your safety," bullshit. Unbelievable.
"Well, I already want to go back," Jasmine said in a thick German accent.
"This place is great," Phoebe answered. "You just need to get used to things."
"That's because-" Jasmine then cut herself off, when she realized that Phoebe probably wasn't going to get it. "I'm going to go get some water, talk to someone, something." She hopped to her feet as she walked off.
"Alright, have fun."
Okay, maybe Jasmine got a bit too pissy there.
She just needed a moment to stop, and absorb all of this. Get used to it. As all of it was hitting her like a bag of bricks, and she hated it. Perhaps... it'd be best if she established herself here on the Promise. It was a new frontier up here, and Jasmine sure as hell wasn't going to fade into the background while other losers hold the spot. She just needed the right chance... and it'd be just like highschool. Everyone would be vying for her soon enough.
In the back of the crowds, not too far away from where she and Phoebe were sitting, was a particular sight. An African-American male (at least that's what Jasmine inferred, given her time in America). He was... quite attractive. Of course, he was as much of an outsider here was Jasmine was, so she could probably take advantage of that.
"Hello there," Jasmine said, her accent on full display because it'd sound even more awkward if she tried to hide it. She slid in on the seat next to him... he'd be a fool (or gay) if he passes this opportunity up. "You look as amused by this freakshow as I am." She smiled at him.
"I'm Jasmine, you?"
