Yvine
Yvine had arrived at school early, much to his own protest. He his house was 'close enough to walk' according to his dad, who assured him the snow wouldn't be a problem. It hadn't, but Yvine almost wished it had been so his moping had some sense of a purpose. He actually was fairly excited to be in class. Other people's essence always intrigued him, and he had never really gotten to see other users up close. As of a matter of fact, he wasn't sure that he had met any other kids his age with essence. He looked up from his phone and glanced down the hallway. There were a couple people trickling in, including some... interesting looking folk. He wasn't super used to the all-species approach (Thanks Elf School) but he figured now was a better time to adjust then later. He took out his earphones, slid his phone in his pocket, and corrected his posture a little bit. Class started in... he pulled his phone back out of his pocket, ten minutes. He was confident the door next to him was the correct one, so all there was to do was wait...
Jocelyn
"First day of high school my baby." Jocelyn's mom put a hand on her shoulder. She smiled at the ornate doors in front of them.
Jocelyn clutched her books tightly to her chest. "Mom I'm not your baby I'm fourtee..."
"I know I know. It just, it wasn't that long ago. When you're a parent you'll understand." She pinched her daughter's cheek. "Oh we're not going to see you for two months! Are you sure you have everything?"
"I'm sure." Jocelyn smiled.
"Well then." Her father, a skinny, grey-haired man said, "I suppose that's that. Make sure to give us a call tonight. We'll be waiting in the hotel to hear how your first day went."
"Of course of course." Her family shared a last hug, and she watched as the doors closed between them. She pulled off her hat and mittens and shoved them in her day back, picked her books back up and headed into the lobby...

Ezaku Leoro
Ezaku made it around the corner just to see a blue haired person walking off and Graham standing there watching them leave. Was he stopped for something? "Hey, Graham!" Ez called out, pulling a hand from his jacket to give a wave to his roommate while walking up. "Everything alright?" Ezaku asked once reaching the other student.

Dussel Tivoli
He tilted his head, as a young elf passed by him. A bit on the scrawny side, but potentially salvageable. Dussel had promised his team that he'd find a good new recruit for the upcoming game, but so far he had come up empty handed. As such, he was beginning to analyse the potential of every passerby. That pink-haired girl's got a lot of energy... The kid with the orange hair, too, but he looks like he'd fall over if I sighed too hard. He narrowed his eyes in thought.
"Tivoli!" yelled a familiar voice behind him, a bit further down the hall. It was one of the juniors-- a large young man with a jagged, muscular build and an impatient fierceness to his eyes. One of the top dogs of the football team. Without warning he wound up his arm and threw a densely weighted ball straight at Dussel's head. Without enough time to raise his arms in defense, he decided to duck under instead. The projectile whizzed overhead and instead shot straight at the elven boy who had passed him just a moment before.

Yvine
"Tivoli!" Yvine looked up just in time to see what looked like a medicine ball being hurled at him. His eyes went wide as saucers and he put his arms in front of him. The ball slammed into his hands and then into his stomach, sending him tumbling to the floor. "What in the..." He rolled over on his side, cradling his stomach. He tried to think of some witty one liner to spit out but he came up short on ideas, and just rolled over to his back, letting the ball roll away slowly.

Dussel Tivoli
Dussel threw his hands up at his teammate. "Really? Indoors?" He shrugged and knelt down next to the elven boy. "Hey, you alright, kid? ...I should've just taken it, I know. Split-second misstep."

Yvine
"You're fine." Yvine croaked out. He took a deep breath, then sat up. "What, could I ask, is the purpose of hurling medicine balls indoors?" He looked at the enkidu standing over him and the human kneeling next to him. "I'm Yvine by the way." Now was as good of a time as any for introductions, he reckoned.

Dussel Tivoli
"Yeah, Carlo," Dussel began, turning to his teammate. "What is the purpose of throwing medicine balls indoors?"
The enkidu grinned and scratched the back of his head. "Just testing you, newbie. A lot of us still aren't on board with you as our main rusher. At least you've got the reflexes. You better not dodge the ball at the big game, though, or else you're dead."
Dussel rolled his eyes. "I'll be fine." He turned back to the elf. "Nice to meet ya, by the way. I'm Dussel. The hairball behind me is Carlo. We're on the football team. You got any convenient powers, by any chance? I'm starting to get sick of being thew new guy, as you can imagine."

Yvine
"Great, I wasn't entirely satisfied with getting this ball thrown at me so I'm just starving for the opportunity to do it again." Yvine stood up. "Battle Football right? I know it has some other name. Tell you what, I'll show you the goods, and you tell me if they work for you. Deal?" He put his hands on his hips.

Dussel Tivoli
Carlo cracked his knuckles and walked up to them. "Show us what you've got, little man."
"Outside," added Dussel. "Let's not get detention before the first class of the semester." They made their way out the nearest door.

Yvine
"Nice courtyard." Yvine made sure to take note of the fountain in the middle. "Alright." He pulled his phone out of his pocket and tossed it in his hand a few times. "Stand back fellas." He took a step back and leaned back on his right foot like a pitcher, then flung his phone forward. As his leg hit the ground a massive 'whoosh' noise bounced off the brick walls of the academy and Yvine tumbled to the ground on the opposite side of the courtyard. He skidded across the path on his back, kicking up a cloud of dust as he went. When he finally came to a stop he held up his phone. "Not a scratch!"

Dussel Tivoli
He frowned and raised his eyebrows. Carlo, on the other hand, was clapping enthusiastically. "NICE! Looks like you're even faster than Dussel over here. Doesn't seem like you can take a lot of hits, though. We'll work on that." Being an enkidu, with the strength and appearance of a leopard, Carlo towered over even the elf. "Yvine, right? You're just what this team needs."

Yvine
Yvine slowly held out his hand. "I feel like I'm making a bad decision." he shook the Enkidu's massive hand, "But sure, I'll bite." He wasn't really on board for the contact part of the sport but if this was what it was gonna take to get stronger then he was willing to risk it.

Graham Harvard
Graham watched as a pink haired girl skipped past them towards the classroom. He was about to say something to her before Dussel's firm pat caused him to catch his breath. Coughing and looking up at the man he gave a smile and a nod, "A-Alright. T-thanks for warning me!". Graham looked away from Dussel and began to think, muttering to himself under his breath. I wonder what kind of powers he has, and that girl. A sudden call of his name caused him to jump in fright, not expecting to hear Ezaku come from behind him.
"O-oh, huh? M-morning Ezaku!", he stuttered out before rubbing the back of his neck and chuckling. "Ye-yeah, everything's okay. I just ran into this-." Graham cut himself off as he turned to look at the blank spot where the blue haired boy was once standing. He canted his head to the side and muttered, "Where'd he go? Hm, oh well. Come on! Let's get to class, I can't wait to see all our new classmates!"

Fynn Cyriad & Ellis Cyriad
"It's cold," Fynn mumbled under his breath to his brother who stood beside him. The two came from a harsh desert heat, and snow was something they both couldn't deal with.
"I told you to bring two jackets, but you insisted that one was enough. Guess your older brother is always right.", Ellis replied with a smirk. They had just gotten to the city yesterday and filled out all the paperwork to come to the academy, or at least he did while Fynn stayed inside the hotel room sleeping all day. The older boy sighed deeply and patted his younger brother on the back, "Come on. Lets-" the boy was cut off as he saw an elf fly through the air and fall onto the cobblestone path below. Ellis quickly rushed towards the collapsed elf and shouted, "ARE YOU OKAY?".
Fynn wasn't paying attention to his brother when he was getting scolded, he'd instead be watching the events unfold in the plaza of the school. Three boys were outside messing around and then one just kind of teleported towards them. "Cool power," he muttered before watching his brother run headfirst towards the others. With a sigh he slowly followed behind, dragging his feet as he too approached the group of three outside.

Anna Ross
Anna continued to hum to herself as she entered the classroom. She decided to pick a random seat towards the back and sit down and pull out two other stuffed animals. Now on top of the desk would be a bear, a cheetah, and an owl. She would then start to them which to her would be like conversing with friends while to anyone it would seem like she was just talking to herself with toys for an audience. She says, "I hope that I wasn't too strange so that overly excited kid from earlier won't talk to me. I like talking to people, but most of them don't really know how to approach me. Is talking with you guys strange? I don't think it is since you guys are my friends and talking to your friends is normal. Right?" She chuckled to herself and continued to converse with her stuffed animals till the rest of the class came to the classroom. She is kind of interested to see what everyone else can do.

Izaku Leoro
The blond smiles to the boy then nods. "Come on then, maybe i should take lead so you dont get lost, being your first time and all!" The boy stuffs his hand back into his jacket and heads off ahead of Graham. Once opening the doors to the dorm and stepping into the cold, Izaku groans softly. "I hate the cold, why did it have to snow on day one...?" He mumbled to himself, pulling his head down and shoulders up to try and hide away in his jacket, taking a glance back at Graham to see how the boy was holding up in his weather.
