action; the lobby outside the dormitories

[Kanaya is standing quite still near the center of the room; she has what looks like a quarter of a bedsheet wrapped around her head, and a hole has been cut in- sawed in, possibly, judging by the ruin that's been wreaked on the cloth- for her eyes. Dark green liquid is soaking through the wrapping in several places. She got here fairly quickly after searching her assigned respiteblock and reading the letter twice, but now that she's reached a common area, she's stymied by the sheer range of unfamiliar and inexplicable options before her.

A school, the letter had said. There had to be antiseptic somewhere: how else would you clean up after an unruly student had been culled? But for the moment- well, if she had breath to catch, she would be catching it. As it is, she tries to regain her bearings, and stares out through her makeshift mask with wary interest.]

[blank stare]

Why are you all so diminutive?

[moirailcompass]

[she looked down at herself, and then back up at Kanaya, before giving a small shrug.

Vriska had been older than the one she remembered when she arrived here so it wasn't a completely shock, but to see one of her friends this much more mature was still pretty shocking.]

Well I guess beclaws only six sweeps old.

[delicately presses a hand over her clothswaddled face]

Right. Okay. Hello, Nepeta. It's nice to see you, even if the circumstances of our reunion are not what I would have expected them to be twenty four hours ago.

[moirailcompass]

[Kanaya had always been one of the calmer more reserved trolls, but something about her seemed more tired than anything else and Nepeta couldn't help but worry about that.]

It's good to see you too. [More than Nepeta could believe, and she allowed herself a small smile.] Did you just arrive today?

[It's been long enough that she'd almost forgotten the warmth Nepeta's smile held, when they were wrigglers on Alternia. It's remarkable to see it here.]

Yes. About an hour ago. How long have you been here?

[moirailcompass]

A little over two months now, I'd say. Is there anything I can help you with, or explain? [As always, she is eager to be of use]

[lt-scintillate.livejournal.com]

So we're... actually students, in this place?

[moirailcompass]

[Nepeta nodded] Yup. You get to choose a specialization--though you can do that down the line once you've taken some classes. You take them fur...however long it takes you to meet the requirements fur your specialization then you can become a SeeD.
