[principalmouse]

Who: Everybody!
What: Opening Ceremony! Say hi to all your new friends! It's a meet 'n' greet!
When: OPENING DAY!
Where: Just inside the Academic Building
Warnings: None yet. Yet.
[In a wide open hall with banners and a various sundry of celebratory items, the headmaster's rousing speech begins to come to a close.]

In short, you all are here to save our world! There is a threat out there that we must face, but we cannot face it alone. [His demeanor is pleasant, but thinly veiled. His stress is evident in his words, but he is attempting to stay cheerful.] We must do our best to watch over our friends and family and neighbors, no matter who they may be.

We are all responsible for one another. [He lets the silence hang for a moment before letting off and overly cheerful--] HaHa! [Was that a bit forced? Or was it just me?]

Well, guys, it’s time for me t’go, got lotsa stuff to take care of bein’ headmaster and all. But please, get to know one another, go check out classes, and find out where you live on campus! [He gestures to various sections of the room, all labeled with bright colored papers and text.]

I’ll see y’around!

[And with that, the headmaster is off! No, seriously. Watch him go, he’s movin’ fast for such a short guy.]

((OOC: WELCOMING CEREMONY LOG! Feel free to create starters here and tag everyone! Don’t be shy. :) You can use prose or action text, whichever you’re more comfortable with.))

[ Okay, it's a little hard to miss a gust of wind, especially when you're trying to keep all your hair in one spot. But what window was open? Was it even cold outside?

Snow?

Actual snow? ]

Wow.

Isn't snow...outside? Usually?

[ She is totally talking to herself, looking to see if it's snowing through an open window---somehow. ]

[ Normally Jack might've just blown a few snowflakes around and disappeared into the crowd again, but when he realizes all that hair is attached to her he has to stop and stare, fascinated. Curiosity eventually gets the better of him.

A moment later he pops into her field of view abruptly, grinning, with a length of her hair draped over his head and shoulders. ]

That's where snow usually happens, yeah. Hey, listen, is this a really absurd wig or is this for real?

[illuminaria]

[ She's flustered at first, who's burrowing around in there---!? But the visual has her giggling. ]

I figured. Do you know why it's...inside then?

100% real. All mine. It's not in the way, is it? I can---move, if you want.

[shepherdofthefrost]

No, no, not at all! I like it. It's...different. [ And he seems genuine enough about that, smiling brightly and then laughing as a thick lock of her hair slides down to hide his face. He pushes it away and loops the hair around the back of his neck, like a scarf. ]

I brought the snow inside with me. Just thought I'd stir things up a little.

[illuminaria]

[ She chuckles, rather sheepishly. What a compliment! She thought most everyone would find it weird. ]

Thanks? It makes an excellent hat too, once you learn how to wrap it right.

[ What a character! ]

Inside----wait, you did that?

But---! It's not snowing outside! How'd you find it?

[shepherdofthefrost]

Let's just say it follows me around.

[ He grins brightly, gaze trailing upward to where there's suddenly another flurry of snowflakes falling from, apparently, nowhere. ]

Almost like magic, huh?

[ Okay now he's just being a shit. ]
