The boy left and she stared after him, that was a little odd, she thought. At that moment she heard a loud voice and the Dean started speaking. After describing the school and how awesome they were all going to be, she waited in line for the sign ups.
There were only four magic courses, so she was fine there and wouldn't miss any, but she had no idea what to take for weapons classes. She remembered Aylward had taken archery, so she would take that too. The bigger weapons were really not to her style though, so she also went with weapons with a little more finesse. [1]Magical Items I [2]Archery (long) [3]Magical Creation I [4]Fencing [5]Knife Fighting [6]Throwing [7]Practical Magic I [8]Magical Theory I She also saw a list of jobs, under it one that required taking care of horses. She used to hold horses for travelers, so it wouln't be a bad idea to make some spare gold. She signed up for that as well. Just then a tall boy with curly hair came over to the group huddled near her and asked for help reading the sign up. She called to him. "Over here. I'll help you out, what are you interested in?"

Elena considered her options and set up her plan after roughly eight minutes. Her mother had told her that she could be what she wanted to be. Her father had told her that she was worthless in any other way except unless she became the girl he commanded her to be. Elena decided that she would definitely have a thing or two to show her father when she returned. She wouldn't become the broken, simple-minded lady that he expected of her, nor would she become the kind of girl she wanted to be, but people in need were rarely people with choices.
1: Archery (Crossbow) 2: Open Fist 3: Unorthodox 4: Claws 5: Wilderness Survival 6: Infiltration 7: Free Period 8: Fletching And that was it. It seemed like quite a set up for any girl bound for hardships and loneliness if Elena did everything as she planned. Last edited by Astral Harmony; 05-05-2006 at 11:36 AM. |

"Oh thank you very much for helping me" Aledan said very hurridly and stepped forward towards the girl. Though, as he did so he almost tripped over a rock. Luckily he caught his balance and was able to stumble forward to a stop, though his face was somewhat red. It seemed pretty obvious that the boy was somewhat clumsy and awkward.
His face still red he held the sheet up to the girl and said fast and almost jumbled together "Well, I think I'm interested in all things magical, though its not cause I have a fancy or daydream about it, just that even though I'm not learned really, I like to think and to create things and change things, and this seems to be the best outlet there would be for that." Stopping to catch his breath after he said that in only a moment, Aledan then proceeded to go on of his description "For the weapon catagories, I was thinking of signing up for staff lessons, as I already know how to use it from when I was working as a shepherd. Then maybe, um, I would, uh say doing spears." A smull nervous chuckle came out of his lips and he lowered his head a bit as he muttered the reason for that "Cause ysee, my father took me hunting once, even though it was illegal, the local lord didn't want anyone hunting in his woods, but we did it and caught a deer killing it with our spears. It was really fun and all, and we got to eat some good meat for once." "Anywho" he said continuing his somewhat long description "I think I want to sign up for some of that... what was it called, the fighting with thing where you throw your opponent, cause really I'm not that strong and all and that would suit me more then using any of the noble weapons such as swords. Oh ya, it was open palm or something like that" Through all the last parts of his descriptions he hadn't stopped to take a breath, he seemed to almost not run on air the way he was narrating. "Next... I think the last thing that would be best is that there, is knife fighting, as ynow how you allways need a knife no matter what, even if its just for eating and it would be good to always have around and be able to use it" "And um... I think thats it. Really uh, err thanks for helping me, it was really nice of you. Oh and umm my name, is er Aledan, its nice to meat you" He said and outstretched his hand tentatively to shake the girls in meeting. (OOC: The order I think would be Magical Items I Open Fist Magical Creation I Staff Knife Spears Practical Magic I Magical Theory I That is if all the will tests are passed)

Steve wanderd off around into the school grounds. He decided to grab a bite to eat before focusing on a job. He wandered around, looking here, there, and all over the place, just soaking up the schoolgrounds when he noticed something.
"Dang, now I'm lost." He looked around, trying to find a sign or something, when he noticed a young man who had the look and step of one of the desert people. He had seen a group of them one time at his parent's shop. He notes that this one has a veil on his left ear, and wonders why it's not over his face, like the ones at the shop. Steve shook these thoughts from his mind and ran toward the man. "Hey, excuse me, do you know where the food is?" |

The smells of the cafeteria washed over johanns face, bacon,eggs and freashly baked bread where the most notable scents to reach him.
Moving through the line that had slowly started to form Johann couldn't help but try a little of everything he had previously smelled. Filling his plate Johann headed out towards the seating area, now to find a good place to sit.

She giggled when he tripped but hid it as he approached her. He started talking really fast, and it took her a minute to catch up. He told her what he wanted to be in, which was similar to what she wanted, and he thanked her for her help and said his name was Aledan, then extended his hand to shake.
She took it, smiling. "Don't worry about it, it's no problem. I'm Jennifer Tarien, just call me Jenn, I'm taking magic classes too. So lets see here... you wanted knife fighting... spears, staffs..." She ran her finger down the list. "And I guess throwing would be Open fist, that would be... second period," she began writing the classes down. "Magic Items first, Magical creation third, staffs would be fourth, fifth is knife fighting, spears sixth, and seventh and eighth would be practical magic and magical theory. How does that sound?" She was about to hand him his schedule to check but then remembered he couldn't read. She checked it over herself one more time. "That looks about right. I'm in some of your classes, so if you need more help then just call me." She smiled and handed him his schedule. (OOC: I think I copied the schedule right...)

OOC: This post happens after everyone else's, including those who have yet to post abou signing up.
IC: During the sign-ups, Khan stayed on the outside of the group, watching what everyone was doing. He hadn't understood what the old man from above had said, so he decided to watch the rest of his clan to figure out what to do. When the last few people were signing up, Khan was watching them write from under their shoulders, since he was shorter then everyone. Once they were done, Khan went up to the table the last student was at. He wasn't sure what to do, but he knew he had to use the little stick and rub it against the white suares. The advanced student at the table just stared at Khan, confused. He leaned over to the closest student. "What is this kid doing?" "He can't read, write, or understand us. Don't worry, they've already made a special schedule for him. Since he's wild, they're going to take him hunting, since it's something he's used to. I think they'll have him carve to. Then he comes back around third period, and a teacher will help him learn our language somehow. Then he'll be in wilderness survival, clubs, closed fist, and wrestling, since he's porbably been trained in those already, so they think it will help him figure out more." While the more knowledgable student explained what would happen to Khan, the wild boy had finished his sign-up. All he had done was scribble all over the paper, then placed it on the table and walked away. OOC: Khan's schedule Early - Period 2: Hunting/Carving Job Period 3-4: Common language lessons/Free roaming Period 5: Wilderness Survival Period 6: Clubs Period 7: Closed Fist Period 8: Wrestling

So we are clear

There was an obvious crowd gathering around for scheduling. Through it all Allen weaved through them, those that he couldn't he pushed aside. Thinking 'why is there always a crowd?' He scratched his head as he thought about his classes. "Wonder if I can get into the more advanced martial arts classes. I have been training for years after all."
Finally he reached the sign-ups. "lets see...hand to hand...hand to hand", he uttered while his eyes scanned down the lists. "Ok, think some basic magic. Enhancing magic...". His words muttered to no one in particular as he thought over his classes. The end result was (1) Endurance Training (2) open fist (3) Unorthodox (4) Language study (5) Strength Training (6) Throwing (7) Closed Fist (8) Magical Theory I ooc: hope that schedule works

Tai stopped, and turned toward the person calling him. "I see you strange one. I am Tai, son of Rheed, son of Ghon, but you may call me Tai. I am heading to what they call the 'Mess Hall' now. You may come with me if you wish" Tai pauses for the stranger to name himself.
