Action, On a Sunday

[sun_sun]

[New school! Living on her own! A new and no doubt bizarre world to discover.

After finishing up registration, dropping her stuff off in her (at the time empty) new room, and bidding farewell to her parents, Annie heads out into the bright, shining outdoors (okay, it's 56 degrees and cloudy) to explore her beautiful new home.

No classes today, so there should be people hanging around campus, right? PRIORITY 1 MAKE FRIENDS, PRIORITY 2 TO BE DETERMINED LATER]

[So yeah, general exploratory first-day action mingle. Have at it.]

[ She is immediately up out of his arms, arms flailing in front of her and stammering as she speaks. ] Oh-Oh my GOSH I am so sorry I dropped your stuff and I should have asked for permission and then you had to catch me even though it was my fault and are you all right?

[infinitejustice]

It's OK, it's OK! Please, calm down.

[Athrun stands to his full height, then picks up the box and sets it back on the cart.]

You don't need to worry about me -- I'm fine. As are you, it looks like. Everything's fine now.

[duckduckdeux]

I'm calm, I'm calm!

How about I just... get the door for you? [ See, look, she's helping! Helping! ]

[soundslikehighmay]

I'm just figuring out where all my classes are.

Also. Not new.

[soundslikehighmay]

That would be everybody's problem!

[sun_sun]

Not even close... my room is basically a pile of boxes right now. Moving is crazy.

[sun_sun]

[Yeah, she's in a t-shirt.]

I just arrived from New York, so this seems pretty nice right now.

I'm gonna guess... California?

[soundslikehighmay]

Yeesh. I want to get you a scarf or something.

El Paso.

[sun_sun]

Got it! Sorry about that, and stuff.

[Good job you made this weird almost immediately. Solution: OFFER HANDSHAKE.]

I'm Annie.

[sun_sun]

Woo, I wasn't even close.

So, hi, I just moved in and I'm wandering around at random. This place looks pretty wild.

[losingherhead]

[She seems eager to move on to handshakes. Good resolution. Her helmet tilts to the side for a second in thought.]

Is that Annie Cino?

[sun_sun]

Yep. Do you know me from somewhere?

[losingherhead]

Well, the faculty did give me your name in one of the semesterly forms. [Is semesterly a word? She could say biyearly but that sounds uptight.] I'm Celty Sturluson. I'll be sharing a Suite with you, Ms. Von Karma, and [INSERT RETCONABLE NPC HERE].

[duckduckdeux]

[ While everybody else is dealing with the pain and hassle and thrill and excitement of moving in! There's one girl who seems to be chilling out back by some trees.

She also seems to be talking to them. ]

And when are your chicks going to leave the nest, then?

...Mmm hmm...

[ ...Yeah, she's talking to the birds. SO WHAT?

Maybe somebody should tell her that no, that's weird. ]

[inchesofevil]

If you're not new, how come you look so lost?

[he walks over, offering Jaime some space under his umbrella and respite from the barely even rain.]

Which classroom are you looking for?

[sun_sun]

[NNNNNNNah

Just gonna watch for now

She kind of wants to see where this is going]

[soundslikehighmay]

It's a big campus. This is my second semester.

[Thank god, reprieve from the endless torrential downpour.]

Uh...Special intro to world history.

[The "special" is the code word for "this is a weird class." It is actually Intro to Galactic History.]

[partyhats]

Okay, cool, we're talking about it then.

[soundslikehighmay]

Hi. I'm Jaime. I just started this school year, and I'll just say you don't know the half of it.

[Unless she does. Does she? Is there some kind of secret handshake to tell who you can talk about weird stuff with?

Maybe he can sound her out...]

So...how'd you end up here?

[wheretheresacrop]

...

[HOW HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF MANFRED VON KARMA?]

In the legal world he is known for having never lost a case in over thirty-five years as a prosecutor, both home in Germany and here in America. He is feared by lawyers everywhere and as his scion, it is my responsibility to uphold the Von Karma family Credo of Perfection.

[She favors Annie with an especially Teutonic sniff.]

And what does your father do?

[inchesofevil]

Ahh. [that is the sound of recognition from someone who knows things.]

[he points toward an adjacent building] Pretty sure it's over in that building.

I take it you transferred in for the special curriculum.

[duckduckdeux]

[ There's some chirping from the trees, and then the girl seems to realize something. ]

You know, if I show you all where my new room is, you can all come visit me instead! And once the chicks can fly, they can come visit too.

[ Duck no you have a roommate I don't think Weiss is going to appreciate that...

She has no idea anybody is watching her. :x ]

[soundslikehighmay]

Mysterious robotic symbiote fused to my spine. Accidentally blew up a diner last summer. Ended up here.

[sun_sun]

He owns a restaurant in Manhattan. [Franziska is making her feel like she shouldn't leave it at that...] ...It's a really good one.

[inchesofevil]

Damn. [he sounds pretty impressed tho]

So is it hooked up to your spinal column? Linked into your central nervous system?

[he's a doctor ok he gets curious about these things]
