At some point, a girl with wild, off-pink hair and a few-too-many ear piercings spoke up. “Aha! A bunch of feckin’ weirdos—perfect!” she said with a “delightful” Irish accent. “I suppose it’s my turn to add to the fun. Yer looking at Caitlin Mac Cárthaigh, The Ultimate UFOlogist.” Tugging on the neck of her green turtleneck sweater before patting down her skirt, she continued. “I didn’t realize this was a school for complete nerds. It’s a term of endearment, though. The normies, they just don’t feckin’ get it.” Briefly, her gaze shifted to the girl with bunny ears, and she muttered something about the school letting in complete hacks. "Oh. Oh, it's you." Faye's face that had yet to show any real emotion twisted up like she just tasted something bitter. "It's rich hearing the alien chaser talk about normies. Like the average normie wasn't losing their mind over some bacteria they found on the moon or whatever."

Hella has been watching the other in what could be called complete bewilderment. She lets the back she was carrying over her shoulder hit the ground with a small thud and leans back.
"And I thought I was a charity case..." She states louder than she probably intended to if she intended to say anything at all.

Upon noticing Su-Ah seemingly giggle at him, Felix hesitated for a moment before giving her an awkward little wave. Realizing he probably looked (and definitely felt) like a complete idiot, though, he quickly dropped his hand back down and shuffled further away.
He curiously looked towards Caitlin and Faye, wondering just what was going on between them. Clearly there was some bad blood... but he wasn't about to inquire and find out. No point getting involved in the drama.

Calvin grumbled under his breath some things. Mainly about that he was left in the dark about why Hawk have to confiscate his revolver. And he was given no explanation other than 'running the risk of it accidentally going off, even at his hip'. At least that's what Hawk told him.
The cowboy turns to speak to the nearest person, who so happened to be Nico.
"Partner, pray tell the real reason why Hawk yonder had to take my cannon away?" He asked, hoping to get some sort of an answer other than 'running the risk of it accidentally going of'.

Caitlin laughed, though it rang hollow. “Dontcha start bringin’ up that FECKIN’ bacteria Blarney,” she said to Faye. “I’ve watched yer ghost hunts, and I’ve seen more paranormal activity in an old man’s short pants.”

"Hey, so I'm not the shortest one here!" Nico smiles slightly, as he glances at Felix. He might've sounded a bit relieved as well. Just a smidge, though. Calvin grumbled under his breath some things.

He asked, hoping to get some sort of an answer other than 'running the risk of it accidentally going of'. Nico raises an eyebrow, unsure if the cowboy is serious or not. "Well partner, you wouldn't want to accidentally shoot someone else here, would you?" He asks. "Being an Ultimate, I'm sure you know how to handle the thing properly. But still a loaded firearm is a safety risk."

"S-Sugita..." Ige whimpered, still feeling the force of over one hundred action figures collapsing onto him. "Sugita..?" Ige, still dazed and confused on the floor, seemed to regain some of his composure after hearing that name. "Sugita...Sugita..!" All of a sudden, Ige leapt up, full of vigor. "Sugitaaaaaa! You bastard!" Ige began to panic, going back and forth to anyone he could find that was near him at the time. "Where is that idiot?! Are you telling me he's not here yet?! I certainly don't see him!" Korrigan will grab Ige by the shoulders to hold him still for a moment as he kneels down a little. "Hey, that's quite a bit of focused noise. Commendable. Grant yourself a half rest for now. It's our turn to make some." he pats Ige on his left shoulder before letting him go and straightening himself. "Hawk, we may want to make an announcement over the intercom and check the cameras. Perhaps Sugita has gotten lost?"

"Y-Y-You don't understand," Ige whimpered as Korrigan politely shut him up. "If anything happened to him...it...it comes straight out of my paycheck..."
Ige clenched his fist, a dark cloud slowly forming above him.
"Rat bastard..."

At Nico's words, Felix sheepishly looked at him for a few moments like a deer caught in headlights before averting his gaze and crossing his arms. As always, he was the shortest one in the room... and getting called out on it only furthered his embarrassment.
"A-At least everyone else has neat talents..." he quietly murmured to himself, away from prying eyes and ears.

"Mr. Hawk, you may you need to do a more thorough security sweep. Are you sure one of us doesn't have a bomb on their person?" Isadora seemed to be maintaining the umbrella over herself perfectly as if even a spot of sunlight would set her on fire. "I sense a strong aura of death in the air. Granted this is not my talent, but I have developed a sense of intuition over time. Like an old woman whose knees hurts when it rains." She giggled at her own remark. "But yes this feels much worse than a handgun. Maybe a catastrophic event... the deaths of multiple people. Certainly very curious."

A very tired looking man sat at the corner of the class in his own seat, focused on reading a book rather than paying attention to the introductions. However, as they started to come to a close, eyes started to fall on him and it wasn't long before he could feel his presence being noticed, a fact which he picked on quickly. Standing from his seat, he didn't seem that tall. Average height, average clothes, average hair... Nothing noteworthy to speak of, except two things. First, the teddy bear slippers he was wearing. In school. On the first day. And second, his exhausted expression. He did not have a very friendly look about him, and as he spoke this came across. "Finally my turn, huh? Name's Kenji Lopez. I'm the librarian of this place. Speaking of, the library's down the hall and to the left in case you're wondering. Don't take anything without asking me, though, and - "
He paused to let out a startlingly big yawn. Did this guy even sleep before coming on the job. "- Just make sure not to bother me too much otherwise", he finished. "That should be all of us done then, right? I wasn't paying attention." He sat down, going back to reading his book without any care in the world, seemingly.

Neuron Itsunoi - Art Assistant Teacher

Post by rei. on Mar 14, 2023 23:59:20 GMT
After the librarian said his greeting, the odd man wearing peculiar clothes finally spoke. "Guess I'm the last introduction from the ones present." At first glance, one could see his colorful pastel apron, decorated with art of different flowers. However, underneath it was a loose mesh shirt and a tank top. Below, he had compression tights and shorts. He said his words with a kind face, though his left eye was slightly obscured by his wavy brown hair. If you only look at his head, he looked like a normal guy in his late twenties, but his young and chic clothes says otherwise. [#spoiler="Temporary, will fix soon I pramis"] [/spoiler] "I'm Neuron Itsunoi, just the assistant to the art room. The art teacher isn't here yet, so I don't really have much to do. When she arrives, I'll introduce her all to you~ Not like I've met her myself though." He said as he scratched the back of his head.

If Sugita's here, he's late," Kameron said a little huffily. "Late on the first day! Not setting a good precedent. I hope nothing happened." [You're all free to post now! Phase change will probably happen sometime tomorrow.]

"But yes this feels much worse than a handgun. Maybe a catastrophic event... the deaths of multiple people. Certainly very curious." Hawk shook his head. "I respect your thoughts on the matter, but I have my doubts on whether any of you would willingly carry such a device." Though... He would have to remember that. His hand gently brushed against the oblong object that poked out of his coat as he surveyed the group at large again. "I will have faith that you will not endanger yourselves unnecessarily," he warned with a heavy tone.

Calvin nods at Nico once he got his answer.
"I see... Must've been a measure to prevents one of 'em school shootings I hearn about on the news." The cowboy commented somberly as he takes his hat off and holds it to his chest, in a manner of respect. "It's a shame that we have to live in a terrible world. Too many bad eggs out there."

Instead of her ears, she switched to gripping and tugging at a strand of her hair, which seemed to calm her nerves. "... Real professionals deliver conclusive investigations. I wouldn't expect you to understand."

He uneasily adjusts his scarf and returns to his seat before peering over at what Kenji is reading.

Preferably before anyone comes to school with a gun!” gushes Eugenia, who looked the whole time like she wanted so badly to comment on everyone’s introductions. She then turns her attention to Caitlyn and Faye, “Hi! Could you guys please explain why you’re fighting? I uh, need help from you both so I can prevent this conflict! In my eyes what both you guys do sounds cool, so there’s no need to tag on each other!”

Nico approaches Felix after the introductions finish.
"Hey!" He said, greeting the boy. "Sorry for calling you short. You probably get it a lot. I know I do." He chuckles.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just surprised. I hope we're cool." He extends his right hand for a handshake.

"If you must know, we're fighting because one of us is a legitimate collected investigator and the other is a loud aggressive hack. So there's actually a lot of need to rag on her, I think. Otherwise someone could get the wrong idea and take what she says seriously."

Calvin stares at Eugenia with a look of incredulous on his face. "What in the tarnation... In all my born days, I have never seen someone not understand what I'm sayin'." The cowboy commented, apparently appalled by what the peer mediator said. He was, of course, talking about how she didn't understand the cowboy talk.

Eugenia listens to Faye, her large brown eyes shimmering with thought. “You make a great point! We’re all learning here and we shouldn’t take anyone too seriously while they’re still learning. That’s why we have such expert teachers and mentors to guide us!”
“It’s a bit of an issue if this means our class is going to be fighting all the time though. Maybe we should go to a class dinner together so you and Caitlin can at least introduce yourselves?”
Eugenia turns to Calvin, ”Oh sorry! I didn’t mean to misunderstand you! It’s just my responsibility to prevent any fights or anything before they happen! That’s what I meant to say. Your point was good. I wish you could keep your gun.” When Eugenia nods in apology, her hair nearly reaches the ground.

"A... class dinner? Is that something that people actually do?" "Are, uh, are we all going to do that? I don't remember them saying that was in the curriculum... oh geez...I've, well, never eaten a meal with anyone other than my family before but it sounds uh... fun?"

“Of course people do it! Any good school has a good student council who help organize things like a class dinner! I had to organize one recently at my old school to help raise morale after a few of our classmates died in a car accident!”
She folds her hands, “oops, hope you don’t mind, but I should take a moment of silence.” She closes her eyes for an uncomfortable ten seconds.
“Anyway, it’ll be awesome and probably at an Olive Garden unless we have any requests?”

"Oh we do not need to be introduced, I already know her too well- hold on, what?" the shock of what Eugenia just said was enough to make Faye look in the direction of the conversation for once.

"E-Er, if I may, I think Olive Garden is a bit below everyone's pay grade here," Ige stated. He brought out a notepad and began scribbling down some nonsense. "How about I take some orders here instead and find our caterer for you all? I can offer our purveyor of some delicious wagyu steaks or bluefin tuna. Oh...but what do we do for those with allergies? I also failed to offer any vegetarian options..."

"N-no!" She shakes her head rapidly, clenching her shaking hands together on top of her bag, "I mean, uh, that's fine with me, and, sorry for your loss, I didn't know that uh, happened to you, not like I would or could know about that anyway but I'm sure it's a really upsetting thing for you to think about and oh my gosh I'm so so sorry I really didn't mean to make you think of something like that..."

Su-Ah's head perked up upon hearing the words 'Class Dinner'. That's all she heard apparently.
"Oh my god. Eugenia. A fancy little event like that would be just perfect! I would just LOVE to tailor cute little outfits for everyone who is interested. This is a huge opportunity! Oh, and we could all get to hang out and become friends, I guess."
She then turned to Yves.
"Say, you were telling me about the cute little monsters on your Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Which one's your favorite?? I can probably come up with something relating to that...." Su-Ah smiles, her mind already going through an absurd number of outfit designs for people she had barely spoken to.

Nico, who's hand was still extended to Felix, turned his head towards the others at the mention of the class dinner.
"Um... Sorry to hear about your old classmates." He said. "But I think a class dinner would be fun! I want to get to know everyone here! We should totally do it!"

I've never had the chance to taste such delectable fish or meats before... it sounds wounderful!" ...Mikoto jerks back slightly after realizing what they just said. "Erm, wonderful! Wounderful is probably how the sorrowful tuna feels when they fulfill their purpose of feeding one higher on the food chain, caught between the bricks of life and being slathered with delicious mortar..." "I've only heard stories of the dilatancies my ancestors and father have eaten. The last place I've eaten, actually, was at the fabled place called 'Arby's'..."
