[This probably should have been posted before, but she's been pretty distracted between catching up to her new classes and spending time with Snow. She does remember to get to it eventually though, so that's something right?]

I realized earlier that it'd be easier for me to get to know people if I actually remembered to introduce myself, so here I am!

My name's Serah Farron and I'm a new cadet sponsored by Amber.

This world is really different from mine, so I'm looking forward to experiencing all that it has to offer. I'm also looking forward to getting to know everyone, especially my classmates, so if you wouldn't mind introducing yourself that'd be really nice. It's hard to stay strangers once you know each other after all, right?

[At the bottom she posts her class schedule, just in case anyone wanted to know what her classes actually were.]

It looks like we share the morning slot for Biology 101 and the afternoon slot for International Law 101.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Two classes? I look forward to getting to know you then.

What's your name? I don't think I could remember 21873 very well.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

It's Zuko.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Zuko, huh? Well it's nice to meet you.

Biology and International Law. Maybe we could help each other study sometime? I'm not sure how classes are like here yet, but it always seemed to help back home.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Sure.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Great! I've got home ec three times a week, so I can even bring snacks when we do.

Have you been here very long? I was wondering if people ever study together or if most people tend to do their work alone?

I thought maybe inviting people from other biology classes might be nice that way everyone can help or get help. Do you think people would be interested?

[He's totally the wrong person to ask, but she doesn't know that yet.]

It's been about eight or so months since I arrived. And I study on my own.

I... guess? I don't know. I keep to myself most of the time.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

There seem to be several people here who've all been here for eight months. I met a girl when I first got here who'd been here that long too. Her name was Katara, do you know her?

[She pauses and thinks through the rest of his comment before typing anything else.]

Oh. I can find other people to study with if you'd rather study alone? I just thought it'd be nice since we have the same class.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

[It takes him a moment to actually respond because oh ... she met Katara then...]

Yeah, I know her. She's from my world. And I just prefer to study alone.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

[Serah's a little disappointed, but she'll get over it.]

That's great!It must be nice having people you're used to around in an unfamiliar place. [It is for her anyway.]

Oh, okay. Good luck with your studies then and I'll see you in class?

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Serah. Zuko's kind of like Squall - aka one-man-show - when it comes to work/study.]

I guess. We were never friends before though.

Yeah, probably. And good luck to you too.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Before? So that means you're friends now?

Thanks.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

I can't say. I don't want to assume anything.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Sometimes hardships help people who wouldn't be friends otherwise become friends after all. You should ask her. Since you're both from the same world, it's probably a good thing to stick together, don't you think?

[She's totally not meddling exactly, she's just trying to help. Really!]

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

Ask her what? If we're friends or not?
