soul 001 : action/open

[ If you'd chanced upon the corridor heading to the dormitories today, you'd spot a seemingly lost looking... kid. Gender will be questionable. It's either a girl... or a pretty looking boy.

Either way, it has an ermine curled around her shoulders and at times, they seem to be talking... more of arguing.

Finally, the kid huffs and leans against the railing and turns her attention back to the paper she held. ]

Time compression, huh?

Doesn't really make a lick of sense to me, Ras but... whatever.

[ She folds her arms across her chest, pausing to pat the ermine's head as a sudden grin comes to her face. ]

We'll be fine!

[ Which fades as she sighs. ]

...I hope. Maybe.

That's the spirit!

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Spacing out, she does this. Of course, the sudden voice pulls her from her spacing out and glancing at who'd joined her with a small sheepish grin. ]

Heh... pays to be positive and all that!

[ Nervous hair ruffle here. ]

Uh... hi. I'm... new.

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

I figured.

[Congratulations, Shin, you're looking at a very tall elf with glowing blue eyes who absolutely reeks of death.]

Welcome to Garden. I'm Instructor Dragonsblood. How are you adjusting so far?

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ The mention of an instructor causes her to straighten up and dust herself off. ]

Uh... s... sorry! Didn't know you were an instructor.

[ And the same sheepish grin as she relaxes a little. ]

We're doing okay... just a little lost but we're fine!

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.]

Relax, I'm a lot looser than most. You can just call me Kurt, if you like.

Any questions? Anything you need?

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

Kurt. Gotcha.

[ Back to ruffling her hair. ]

Well... we were kinda trying to figure out where our dorm is and..

[ Eek. Totally forgot. ]

Oh! Oh yeah... uh.. I'm Shin and this is Raseth.

[ Headgesture to the ermine flopped onto her head like a sock. He rears his head slightly and raises a paw. ]



[ And flops back down after saying this. ]

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you both. What's your dorm? I can take you to it.

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

Uh... B... 211? I think?

[ Trying to remember now which causes the ermine to facepalm... or facepaw as the case may be. ]

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

Easy enough.

[And Kurt will show her to her dorm. There, that wasn't so hard, was it?]

[redcinemareel]

...we? [Raises an eyebrow. Another person talking to themselves. Lovely.]

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Shin perks up almost the same time as the ermine on her shoulder does. ]

Oh uh yeah. We.

[ Handmotion between her and the ermine. ]

Me an hi-

[ And she stops in mid sentence as the ermine leans over to take a few sniffs at Grell. ]

[redcinemareel]

...what is that? [Grell keeps it real.] I thought it was just some weird accessory.

[Leans a bit back as whatever it is smells him.]

That's a bit RUDE to be doing. And I doubt she...he...no, definitely a she, doesn't wear the same perfume as I.

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Pulling Ras back and holding a hand in front of his mouth now. ]

Uh... sorry bout that. He kinda tends to get carried away when meeting new people.

[ Of course, the ermine starts to struggle, eventually popping out of his owner's grip. ]



[ Shin now forever linefacing at her weasel. ]

[redcinemareel]

...he? [Gives that THING a look.] I'm a lady, little one. Correct yourself, or I'll make a bag out of you.

[Pays attention to the girl.] What does your little friend mean by 'too'?

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Ras now perpetually stunned, Shin manages to move him back to her shoulder with a nervous little laugh. ]

Sorry about that. Ras shoots his mouth off sometimes without thinking.

[ Now back to trying to explain things without being awk-- oh to hell with it. This lady's probably dead already or something if Ras sniffed her out. Shin assumes the position, back straight and with the best smile she can manage. ]

Shinigami Class C, in charge of Death Due to Intention of Others at your service. You can call me Shin.

[redcinemareel]

Yes, yes. Alright. [Eyes the creature once.]

...that's some introduction~! [Grins sharply] It sounds very official.

Grell Sutcliff, in charge of being FABULOUS and deadly. You may call me Grell.

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Whoa, dem teeth. ]

Y... yeah. We always did things by the book back home.

[ Then you get a curious little headtilt. ]

So... how long've you been dead?

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[Mia was just passing by, but even she can't help noticing the ermine and the new Cadet] Are you alright, Cadet? You seem... troubled.

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

Oh! Uh...

[ Gleep, pretty lady! ]

J... just a little lost but we're okay!

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

I see. Where do you need to be, exactly?

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

Uh... trying to find the dorm.

[ And with a sigh, she slumps back against the railing. As she slumps, the ermine on her shoulders perks up. ]



[ As he bats his eyelashes at Mia, this causes Shin to pull him away and back onto her head. ]

Sorry 'bout that.

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[Okay that's new. In all her time at Garden, Mia hadn't quite seen talking animals before. So pardon her for blankly staring before she remembers that she can speak.]

A talking... ermine? It's... it's alright. [shakes her head]

What dorm're you in?

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Try as she might, the ermine struggles from her grip and clambers onto her head. ]



Ras! C'mon!

[ And after frowning at the ermine and pulling him down again, Shin turns her attention back to Mia. ]

Uh... I think it was B211...
And sorry if my ermine's being rude. His name's Raseth



And I'm Shin.

[ Shooting glare at him again. ]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't mind the ermine! Mia just---only Disney movies had talking animals. For the time being, Shin's unofficially a Disney princess.]

Instructor Mia Fey. [holds out a hand as she gestures for Shin to walk beside her] I'll be teaching you Criminal Justice and International Law here at Garden. Did you just arrive recently?

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ She's not a princess but she sure as heck could introduce you to one! Shin trots up beside Mia, wondering if she should take that hand out of force of habit. ]

That class sounds pretty awesome! Heck, I think I know someone who'd be really into that class from back home.

[ And there's a grin once she gets to her situation. ]

Yeah. It's my first day in.
