[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.))

[He blinks at the girl for a few seconds before glancing down, as if something else might have appeared there. When it's still his ragged dog-end, he takes it out of his mouth and holds it up-- see?]

Cigarette. Want one?

[runawayroyal]

No thanks.

[Is it obvious she doesn't smoke?

It is, isn't it?]

I was just wondering, as I have never seen people use such a thing before.

[Pipes are most common throughout the deserts.]

[allucinator]

Really?

[More for him. He slips it back between his lips and shrugs.]

They're popular where I'm from-- New York. What about you, where you from? I'm Jack.

[runawayroyal]

[She nods, a tad sheepishly.]

So we're from opposite ends of the world. I am from Agrabah.

It's nice to meet you, Jack. I am Jasmine.

[Is it smart or stupid to withhold her royal title? Hopefully she'll find out soon.]

[allucinator]

What's-- I don't know much geography, sorry-- where's Agrabah?

[runawayroyal]

It's located on the southeastern end of the Middle Kingdom... which is the continent below Evangeline.

We are about as south as possible from New York.

[allucinator]

Right, well, more loss for you; it's a great city.

[Cheerily said.]

You a student too?

[runawayroyal]

So I've heard. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to visit; my father is rather... strict about where I am allowed to go.

[Truer words were never spoken.]

Yes, I am. This will be my first time in an actual school. What about you?

[allucinator]

No kiddin', me too! Yeah, I never-- I mean, I worked instead, you know?

[runawayroyal]

[What is this "work" you speak of.]

Were you able to learn scholastics at all? I imagine it would have been difficult if you worked all the time...
