[[I think it's time for Illy to go on a role-play-replying-rampage.
D<]]
Heavy black boots, nearly hidden beneath a dark coat that swirled around their ankles, made virtually no sound as they struck the ground in turn. The trench-like coat covered the entire length of the five foot, ten inch lithe frame of the young man, it's gothic design leading down from his svelte shoulders. Tar black hair, appearing to be rather straight and smooth, was tied neatly back in a long pony tail that reached nearly to his hips. Calm, tranquil blue eyes gazed about apathetically at the milling students, each seeming more boring than the next. The young man's pale skin contrasted heavily with his black clothing, as well as the bright clothing around him.
Passing by the front office without a second glance, he kept moving, continuing to browse around aimlessly. 'Less than a day in this school, and already I'm tired of it...Figures...' he mused in his own mind, glancing around distastefully.

As she found a waterfountain and wandered idly towards it, she continued to think of the group that had formed outside. As she felt the cool liquid slither soothingly down her parched throat, she decided that she would need help getting better acquainted with the school. Thus, she stood up straight, wiping her dripping lips with a tanned hand and straightening her white blouse. Sneaking towards the nearest exit, she took care not to cause any commotion as she slipped towards the troop.
She approached the nearest person, coming to stand behind them as she searched for a proper way to introduce herself.
She finally went a quiet "Umm, hello..."

Rin felt a pang of sympathy for the shy brunette. She didn't yet know her name, but had a warm feeling towards her. "Oh, I wouldn't mind at all! You won't be intruding. Infact, it would help, because I'm afraid of the dark!" She smiled gently. "You're not interrupting, I was saying that we all should go in, you included." Rin held out her hand to the girl. "Let's go! Mizuki, you coming? And Alex... well... you're a guy. So we can only meet in the common lounge, right?"
Looking back at the brunette, she tilted her head. "What's your name?" Just before she could get an answer, she heard voice behind her. Rin turned around, and there was another girl. "Hi!" she responded, smiling. She felt less nervous and a little more accepted now, and was hoping she wouldn't mess up.

((Still assuming it's night...))
Faith jumped when the girl addressed her, her blush blanketed by the darkness of the night that surrounded them. She began to tug at the tail of her shirt, a nervous habit that she had recently been trying to rid herself of. Her efforts, however, had obviously been in vain. She bit her lip and managed to wave to the girl.
"H-hello, there," She stammered quietly, "My name is Faith."
She returned to biting her lip, looking around at the other people in the group as she felt her blush intensify thrice fold. Her sense of insecurity worsening, staring at the ground as began playing with a handful of silver hair, twirling it around her digits.
Maybe this was a bad idea...
"Um, do.. do you all go to this school?" She tried to make conversation as she pushed away her fears for a moment.

"I'm Rin. Yes, I believe we do... Or we woudn't be standing around in the dark near a school!" Rin chuckled, noticing the girl's nervousness. I suppose shy and hesitant is better than loud and obnoxious, she thought to herself. "I think we were about to go indoors, seeing as it is getting dark and school begins tomorrow. I'm new as well, but I'll try to remember names. Faith, this is Mizuki, she's been here longer than any of us; Alex, just met; and--" When she reached the shy brunette, she realized she hadn't let her answer the question. "I'm sorry. I still don't know your name."

Faith suddenly whispered with a smile, "Fat penguins..."
Realizing the others might not know that one, she quickly added, "It.. breaks the ice."
She had to grin at her little joke, unsure if the others would appreciate it but she certainly had to be proud that she could play the part of jester to ease the tension. At least, it made her feel better. The others probably thought she was a loony toon, but that didn't stop her from giggling quietly. She stopped fiddling with the tail of her blouse and tucked the loose strands of silver behind an ear, her grey eyes shimmering in the darkness.
Indeed, the quiet ones were the ones you had to watch out for.

(( I forgot to ask: I need suggestions for what could be on the second floor of the dorms. A kitchen and a dining room, for sure, but what else? ))
"Hi there! Nice to meet you, Faith." Mizuki waved when Rin introduced her to the new arrival. Looking to Rin, she replied, "Oh, this is Erin." ((Sorry, Meta. You were taking a while. ^^' )) "Yeah, Alex, you can't come inside. They'd probably suspend you for breaking school rules." Clearly exasperated, she sighed and did a little shake of her head. "I think they're way too full of themselves." Then she heard something that made her do a double take. She turned to Faith, blinking confusedly. "Er, fat... penguins?" Only when it was explained did she smiled, even laugh a little.
(( Arg! I hate this post for some reason... Darned writer's block...
So many people to reply to! @.@ ))

Sighing and running thin, pale fingers through the long black tress of hair, the young man turned on his heel, proceeding to dorm three without a second thought. 'May as well get this over with...Orientation to classes tomorrow.' his thoughts reflected dully.
Slipping silently into his dark room, in which he'd been situated for quite some time, he fell lightly onto his bed, breathing out tiredly. Head tilting to the side, he grimaced, spying the detestable school uniform that he supposedly had to wear, or else. 'Or else...What?' Shaking an exasperated head, the young man closed his eyes, turning onto his side and attempting sleep.
[[Chya...Dunno what else to do...
o.O;;]]

((-HeadScratch- Hmm, well.. what about a recreation room? I know the lounge kind of.. fills that spot, but we could have a pool table and such? -SweatDrop- Sorry, I know I'm kinda.. dumb when it comes to these things ;;>< Illy, you don't have to comment.))
Faith nodded to the girl, "Nice to meet you, too. What year are you here?"
Slowly, she was beginning to open up. It would take a while, perhaps a long while, but eventually she might just come to call these people "friends". Until then, she would resort to saying a sentence or two every once in a while, which is how she treated "acquantances". Whether or not Faith realized it, she had subconsciously created a system in her earlier years and she had stuck to it throughout her years without even seeing that it was there.
So now, she continued to catagorize these people. Although she didn't yet know the other two, Mizuki and Rin had just been promoted to "acquantances". Lucky them.

((I'm willing to take on a guy as well as Leigh if needed... ><; Pool table sounds good. They're fun.))
"Well, it takes a bit of practice, but clearly it was time well spent if I can read a person in a couple bare glances at a room. I think it was just something I decided to do one day; learn away to read those around me. I've been doing it so long, it's just automatic now. I'm glad to hear I was right." Leigh cast a smile at her, before moving to her side of the room to unpack a bit while they talked. She had to laugh when Anya suggested future careers.
"A psychiatrist or a spy? No, I hadn't really thought of those options." She stopped to think about it, but scrunched up her nose in distaste at the thought of being a psychiatrist. "I don't exactly invision a future where I sit around listening to people's problems. I don't think they'd like the advice I'd give them, and I don't think I have the kind of heart for it." She looked over at Anya. "You could though. You seem like the type of person who always tries to solve what's wrong, and give the best advice you can think of. That's good. I hope nothing happens to you that changes that. You should always be yourself, how matter what happens in the process."
She moved to the closet, intending to hang up her uniform and a couple other things, when a glint of light out the window caught her eye, and she pressed her face to the glass, surrounding it with her hands to block out the light of the room. A group of students had gathered below, and appeared to be coming back in to the dorms. "Hmm. Looks like some of the students already got a chance to meet. That's why I hate coming late. Oh well, I'm sure I'll have lots of time to tomorrow." That said, she turned back to her opened suitcase, digging through it for sleepwear.
"Other than your special someone, did you meet anyone else today?"

((Well, in my old dorm, we had a pool table. Which, unfortunately, drew crowds of obnoxious males from the other dorms. D: We also had a kitchen, TV, a pop machine... Board games... Blah. =P How about a computer terminal? xD ))
Fat penguins, eh. Rin smiled to herself. After Mizuki had introduced the brunette as Erin, Faith had uttered the strange phrase, then explained it. It formed a cute mental image. Penguins were adorable, though. She used to be obsessed with them when she was a little kid, but not anymore. She liked gadgets more now. Computers, math, things... "Nice to meet you, Erin!"
"So, shall we, ladies? Sorry about that, Alex. Maybe we'll all meet again tomorrow." She smiled at him apologetically. "Or," she grinned cheekily, "You could dress up as a girl and try your luck." Looking at him, she figured he wouldn't make a very convincing girl, but it would be comical. Turning to Mizuki, she laughed a little. "What do you think the stuffy authorities would do if Alex did try?"
((Lol, Ari~ Replying to many is confusing. x_x ))

Fat penguins? Alex thought, amused at the image that formed in his mind. Alex looked to Rin when she suggested him dressing as a girl. "A girl? I've dressed up as a girl for hallowe'en before... but not to get in the girl's dorms." Alex said, raising a hand to his chin. "I wonder if I still ahve that costume somewhere?" he said, thinking out loud.
Alex chuckled a little at the thought of him dressing as a girl. He had already been in the girl's dorms once today, and he wasn't caught(lucky for him). "Well, it's been nice to meet you all. I hope to see you around the campus sometime. As for me, I'll take my leave and let you girls get on with... whatever you're going to do." he said, smiling a little and waving, as he turned and walked away, heading for his dorm room.
Upon reaching his dorm he flopped down on the bed, looking purely bored. I am going to have to get one of my parents to bring my guitar here. I won't survive without it. Alex thought. SIghing a little, he reached over to his bedstand, taking a sketchbook off of it and a pencil. "May as well draw, since I've got nothing better to do." Alex said out loud, as he started to draw. Draw what, he didn't know. Ideas would come to him as he went.

Faith watched the boy walk away, staring after him for a second before turning back to the others.
"I think I, too, need to get some sleep. I'm already getting a little tired as it is..."
Indeed, her eyelids felt heavy with the lead weights that signaled that it was time for bed. She began rubbing at her eyes, yawning quietly as she looked back at the girls. She then smiled and waved, turning to the school and starting to walk back with an idle stroll.
"I'll see you all tomorrow," She whispered over her shoulder before she broke into a slow jog.
As soon as she reached her bed, she fell onto it and giggled quietly as she bounced a few inches in the air before landing back on the soft mattresss. Indeed, the first day had turned out to be a bit more eventful than she had first expected. Grinning as she crawled under the covers, she laid down on her stomach and reached for the bedside lamp. Switching it off, she closed her eyes and instantly fell into a peaceful sleep the second she felt the soft cushion of the feather pillow against her face.
