[Rita was all sorts of intrigued by this place. It was like nothing she'd ever seen, heard, or read of before. She'd read of other planes before, but never into any detail. Everything was new to her, the technology especially.

It was a strange place to have been sent, though. Was it purposeful, for her to have been sent to a school? If she weren't so overwhelmingly curious and interested in learning more about this place and everything in it, she probably would have done more to find out Bahamut's intentions in sending her to Balamb Garden.

For the time being, she's wandering around the garden, reading the letter over and flipping through the course catalog. She was trying to make sense of the courses, mostly, but also trying to decide which to enroll in. She'd never been in a school before.

As for everyone else, well, there's a young girl with a sizable pair of platinum-scaled wings. Even her clothes stand out a bit: her dress looks like the sort of thing a young noble girl of older times might wear, complete with jewels and other such shiny things sewn into it.

What are you gonna do about her?]

[Mikuru's first roommate here was pretty much a fairy princess. So rather than being weirded out by this new girl, she just smiles, a little bittersweet.]

Those are pretty. [She's looking at the wings.]

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[The sudden voice snaps Rita out of her focus on the catalog, and at first she's confused about what Mikuru's talking about, but her eyes follow Mikuru's to her wings. No one had ever actually complimented them so casually before.]

Thank you. [She isn't sure what else to say.]

[bunnypassingby]

You're welcome. [She smiles, then indicates the letter and catalog.] You're new here, right? Do you need any help with anything?

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[Rita nodded in response to her question, offering a smile back. She was indeed new.]

I was just looking at the.. the courses here. I want to learn more about this world.

[bunnypassingby]

Cultural Studies is a good elective for that. I took it last quarter; the instructor's nice. And I'm doing World Geography and World History this quarter; they go pretty well together. Garden Code has all the rules but really, they go pretty easy on a lot of them, like most of the SeeD don't mind if you don't salute them every time.

[She thinks for a moment, back on the classes she's taken...]

Oh! How good are you with computers?

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[Rita listened intently as Mikuru spoke, recalling the names that she had seen on the catalog. When she mentions computers, though, a very curious look dawns on her face.]

What is a computer?

[bunnypassingby]

[... oh boy.]

They're...machines for giving out and working with information; you use them in a lot of the classes - better take Information Technology too.

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[Well that sounded simple enough. They had similar devices in her world, although most of her technology was magical. She nodded to Mikuru's response.]

I'll take that class, then. [It was probably a good idea to learn about what technology this world had, anyway. She flipped through the catalog briefly before looking up again.]

What if I already know how to fight?

[bunnypassingby]

Then you'll do really well in those classes!

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[She wrinkled her nose at that.]

I don't want to waste time with things I already know.

[bunnypassingby]

Um, depending on your instructor and your class size, you might be able to ask for some more advanced stuff to work on.

[Will you look at that? They look like dragon wings, man, would Terezi ever love to smell this. She has that tell-tale letter that tells Nepeta she is new, so being friendly as ever Nepeta decides to approach her]

Hi there! Did you just arrive?

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[Fortunately Rita had already gotten a bit of help with explanations of things, but there was still so much to learn, right? She turned to Nepeta when she arrived, staring curiously at her. She was certainly a strange sight.]

Yes, I did. [The slightest pause.] What are you?

[moirailcompass]

Me? I'm a troll. And what about you? I didn't know humans could grow wings!

[platinumblooded.livejournal.com]

[Troll? (http://images.wikia.com/forgottenrealms/images/e/e6/4e_trolls.jpg) Nepeta didn't look at all like a troll. She supposed there was the gray skin, but that was it.]

Are you sure you're a troll? I've never heard of one being so small. And you certainly don't look very gruesome.

[moirailcompass]

[Man were trolls these big hulky things everywhere else?]

Yea, I'm sure. At least where I come furrom. I've heard that trolls are real diffurent in other worlds.
