~Graham Turner~
Welp. That’s uh...yep. A floating pen. Glassgi-err... Aspen signed her name. A floating pen. Things just had to be weird, didn’t they? Oh well. Graham was in a damn fine mood. Things like this? Just made things interesting, really. The boy wouldn’t notice at the time just how quickly he was adjusting to the whole shebang. But who does, when in the moment?
Cast or no cast, Kitty seemed rather upbeat. Graham was pretty surprised. That was a helluva quick response time, but the cast was there. Arguing with his eyes would get him nowhere fast. She pointed out Mr. Dorian, a guy hanging out with the monster, as the source of Pokemon stickers. He starting plotting out a way to earn some stickers. There was a Donphan sticker with his name on it somewhere.
Then the teleporter introduced Aspen and Cheol to him. Graham kept smiling. The day kept getting better. When Cheol mentioned getting along, Graham gave him a thumbs up.
“It’s gonna happen. Destined to, my man. We’re all newbies, here, yeah? We’ve gotta stick together.”
Graham beamed to the group. People were awesome. This place was awesome. Life was awesome, man. Alexis had just finished signing her name, rather large and neat surprisingly, and Graham was just about to take the pen. He must mark his place forever on the girl’s Metapod arm.
And then there was smughead. One of the upperclassmen from the tram. The one that had detained Monstro 2. He cut in, grabbing Kitty’s cast, saying something about the earth and introducing himself a Paul. Then he signed it.
Not cool, bro. Cutting in line? At a cast signing? Might as well kick ‘em in the teeth.
Then Paul deemed it fit to lecture them about Meredith. Graham didn’t miss the slight. Talking about lying while looking right at Alexis and him? The boy felt his good mood start to crumble. The hell was this guy? What did he know? He wasn’t on the tram to start with. Was he?
Graham couldn’t remember, but he noted Paul’s face and mentally added a frowny face. Jerky smughead. The boy wasn’t sure what the hell a smughead was, but he found it felt oddly appropriate. Alexis might have agreed, having called the guy a ‘noob’ as he walked away. This cat...she knew how it was.
At least that was over and he could get to signing his frie-
Captain Large-And-In-Charge strolled over. He asked how everyone was, then out of his FREAKING FINGER popped out a PEN. wut. wha...WHAT? WHAT?! Graham would accept magic. He would accept teleporting. Heck, he would even accept horrors from beyond the realm of human understanding. But PENS in FINGERS? NO! STOP! JUST NO! There is a line that should never be crossed. Well, he asked to sign the cast. And he did. Alright. Cool. DON’T RESPECT THE LAWS OF LINES. Graham sighed angrily in his head. It’s just a cast, man. It didn’t ma-
He signed right by a Donphan.
Oh hell naw.
“Sorry to interrupt, mate…” a voice started. Graham was floored. Another one? He gripped his pen tightly, waiting for Tony to move. As soon as he did, Graham snuck in and quickly plopped down his full name in his usual small and tight script. Beside a Beedrill. Thanks Tony.
But his worry seemed to be for naught. The newcomer was just as lost as the rest of them. Another newbie. Graham turned, smiling that smile of his. New party member! Graham laughed to himself, but quickly stopped. He didn’t want the new guy to think he was laughing at him.
“Welcome to the party, dude! Just stick around, we’ll probably find out what to do soon.”Graham finished the same way he started: with a grin. His mood had already recovered. Life was good again.
Then there a flash. Some flashy woman flashed them some flashy words. Graham couldn’t exactly pick out what it was. His headache had begun to take root, starting by ringing a cowbell in his ears. Thanks for that, brain. Really appreciate it. Again. She began to chat with some of the teachers. He supposed whatever she wanted to say must not have been that important. He gazed about the group. Go figure. The ‘Loser Trio’, as Princess Probably-Wears-A-Diaper, had so graciously labeled Alexis, Kitty, and him, looked like it was going to gain some friends.
Not too shabby for some Losers.
