Opening Ceremony!

[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.))

[ Oh, Jack's understood from the start. Doesn't mean he's actually going to say as much. He makes a show of looking extremely confused as he looks down at himself again. ]

...Is it because I didn't wear my uniform today? Or do you just not like my face?

[JACK. COME ON. GET WITH THE PROGRAM.]

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ Comprehension seems to dawn on his face, like a light going on in a dark room, and Jack leans back slightly, his mouth forming an oh. ]

Now I see.

[ He pauses a beat, then smiles understandingly. ]

You're afraid you won't be able to resist...well. I totally get it. Not many can resist my good looks and natural charm, but don't worry! I have enough self control for both of us.

[INTERNAL SCREECHING AS SHE SHOVES A FINGER AT YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION.]

Y'Bawfaced Jessie! Y'tryin' t'rile me up! There's no way I'd fall for someone like you. You're completely out of your mind.


[....At least you didn't say you were on a date.]

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ Yeah, she's probably going to be insufferable after this, but right now he's thinking that it was totally worth that reaction. He grins, unperturbed. ]

Oh, good! Then if there's no way you'd fall for someone like me there shouldn't be any problem with us rooming together.

[myownhand]

That's not what I meant! There's still plenty of problems with us roomin' t'gether!

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ He tilts his head, resting his chin on one hand. ]

Really? Name one.

[myownhand]

Changin' clothes.

[shepherdofthefrost]

[ Being obtuse on purpose is one of his favorite things. ]

Psh, well that's easy, I don't even change clothes that often, so you'll be fine.
