Induction.

Today seems to have been an exercise in providing more questions than answers. After all, aside from the rules on the walls, it's not as though there's much here that's going to help you understand what's going on, or why you're here in the first place. Some of you are angry; some are more confused than anything. Some are dealing in the best way that they know how.

But perhaps one question remains at the back of mind, regardless of what you choose to make of the situation, and rightly so: Who is responsible for this?

It's a question that doesn't seem to have a ready answer; after a while, though, you will receive something. It's not a solution, and it's not a way out, but it's contact – the sound of the public address system crackling to life somewhere above your heads, an indication that someone, somewhere, is aware that you're here and has something to say.

'I trust that all of you had a good night's sleep. Now that you have hopefully familiarized yourselves with your fellow Apprentices, allow me to make a formal introduction myself.'

The voice is male, that much is obvious; it isn't recognizable to anyone present, however.

'Welcome and congratulations, new Apprentices of Chronos University. You have been chosen for a valuable exercise of higher learning within these walls. Both the rules and a list of your fellow Apprentices have been provided for you in several locations, and I advise that you study both very carefully. Knowing them well can only serve to help you.'

'As for my own introduction, I am the equivalent of a headmaster to this educational institution. For our time together, you may refer to me as the Wordsmith. I do hope that you all endeavor to make the most of your time spent here, however you may choose.'

[Lusamine's going over a second or so after Hanyuu--if she's got Elda's arm, Lusamine's going to grab one of Gold's.]

Even if the rules permit violence, that does not mean that it should be acted upon. Please separate yourselves until you are able to act civilized.

Come on, you know that you gotta discipline kids!

[ Snarled the vampire, her teeth bared and sort of biting her lip as she struggles against Hanyuu. Elda is still really strong but she's been off her game since she came here, so she's a bit surprised that it is a struggle. ]

[Meanwhile, Gold'll just stick his tongue out at Elda and grin, waving his free hand.]

That's right, Elder Elda, you shouldn't be actin' on the rules. Funny how you're lettin' a kid piss you off though~.

[Gold used Taunt!]

[In Hanyuu's case, she's so used to being unable to do anything that her strength empowers her, letting her focus on trying to overpower Elda. If she had a moment to think, she'd notice a difference in that strength from when she was last alive, but she has other things to focus on.

Like this. She remains firm with Elda, not letting go.]
Yes, but he is a child, and in this environment we have to discourage violence! [...shoots a look at Gold.] All of us.

[...she wants to agree with Gold so bad, not even going to lie. It's the pettiness from speaking with Elda earlier coming up, but this is a public place.]

Ms. Jeda is correct. We have to be the example we wish to see. [...She's gonna pull a bit on Gold's arm, at least. This party's over.] Let's go, Gold.

[ Look at you two being all like "mature" and "ordered" and -- and okay fair enough, the moment past. Elda's still hissing and still sort of wants to go and spank the boy, but maybe Gold's boyfriend will do it for her tonight. That one at least had the decency to get scared at the right time. ]

Fine, I'll let it go. Get yer arm off me.

[ She said, trying to wiggle/force her way free from Hanyuu's grip as she takes a step back ]
uncouthhatcher: (don't worry dude got it covered)

[Gold'll let himself be pulled by Lusamine, party's over and he feels like he's won.]

Yes ma'am! Catch you later, Elda, and sorry for causin' you two trouble. [With a gesture to Lusamine and Hanyuu.] Ain't the first time that woman's been rough with me though, so I ain't surprised she'd do it again.

Is that...? [Hanyuu swallows down her response. The situation is defused. The boy needs to learn when to keep his tongue, but Elda needs her own talking to...but not here, or now. She easily complies and let's go of Elda's arm.

She sighs, she'll have to thank Lusamine as well for the assistance...and correct her on her name.]
