The Academy

Following after Lauren, Alexandrite took in her surroundings and made a mental reminder to explore the campus more when she had time. Upon arriving at their new home, she looked around and decided that she was fairly content with her new living space. It was definitely a whole lot more... home-like than the orphanage, and she got a room all to herself too!

After waiting for Lauren to finish talking, Alexandrite got her own thin piece of laminated paper and sharpie before heading for the stairs and walking up all the way onto the fourth floor. After a quick moment of pondering, she decided to take the room at the very end of the hall, briefly taking note of the washroom she passed by.

She paused in front of her desired room, and neatly wrote out the name she chose before sliding it onto the slot. Entering the room, she wasn't surprised to find a rather... basic room. The bed was placed in the corner (just like how she liked it) and above it was a large window covered with white curtains. On another end of the room, to the right of the bed, was a desk with a chair tucked in and a lamp turned off. The closet Lauren mentioned was across from the bed, in the front of the room.

Alexandrite never expected to live in a luxurious room, anyways. She was already perfectly content that she had an actual home to live in- hopefully permanently.

Thinking back to to the brochures, she couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, the Academy wasn't as bad it as may have seemed. The thought lead her to stare at her closet, and she briefly considered checking on the supplies, but decided to relax by gazing out of the window and enjoying the scenery.

Oooh, I wanna give Alexandrite her (my) dream room, but I must refrain myself! Another quick question, do we get our own individual washrooms? xD

The Academy

Thanks~ Alrighty, then!

The Academy

Back~ Also, what would the general layout of the dorms/floors be like? o.o

The Academy

Well, my turn to AFK. ouo

The Academy

Welcome back~

Alexandrite nodded in response and silently walked over to where the pizza was. During this, she couldn't help but look around and see what kind of other people were in the academy, making sure she wouldn't make eye contact and cause any possible misunderstandings. Taking a plate, she grabbed a slice of cheese pizza and walked over to the table Lauren pointed out earlier, and sat a little away from everyone else, quietly eating her food.

Noticing the older girl's fatigue, Alexandrite gave an apologetic smile before taking the brochure from her, and reading it thoroughly. With every sentence and bit of information presented to her, her eyes widened with disbelief for a brief moment, before she sighed in resignation. Clearing her throat, she spoke in her naturally soft voice, "I want to join Halcyon." Not being able to leave... Hmm. Well, it can't be that bad!

Hopping off of the truck that literally delivered her to the Academy, Alexandrite briefly scanned her surroundings. I suppose I'm a little late?
With no particular destination in mind, she began to wander around, until the almost inaudible sound of chattering and the scent of... pizza caught her attention. Following the source of the sounds and smell, she was thankful she somehow managed to find, what she hoped, were her "classmates" (if she could call them that).
Entering what seemed like the cafeteria/dining hall, she briefly noted the rather... tense atmosphere, despite it being surrounded with lively chatter.
Realizing that maybe standing around like a lost child wasn't helping her, she approached an older girl who seemed to be handing out brochures and greeting two other people, and looked up at her with a lost expression on her face.

The Academy

No, it's alright. I just wanted to make sure. Didn't wanna risk having the wrong assumption.
