magical mystery meeting (eiather house mingle)

[burningbrighter]

who: all Eiather students welcome, old and new!
what: good old traditional student bonding! Open mingle format, feel free to toplevel!
where: Eiather common room
when: Just after the new student arrivals
warnings: none anticipated!

Sunset had plastered the notices all over the common room and living quarters last week. They really should take the time to get to know each other, right? The space is looking a little cluttered with various snacks, instruments, and library books, but it's cozy and she likes that.

She's looking a little disheveled when the first few people come back from classes, but she waves at them all the same. Come on in and settle down, everyone, it's just fine! Enjoy your various little snacks, go over your spellwork, complain about schoolwork...it's all good.

Sunset Shimmer

"Hi! I hope your homework's not too tough today. I could help, if you wanted...?"

Sunset is still learning about the 'meeting people' thing, but she's slowly getting better. She's quick to try and see to it that everyone is welcome and comfortable, and for the first part of the night she's flitting about here and there.

It isn't until later that she finally settles, a borrowed acoustic guitar from her music class in hand. She's still more used to the electric sound, but the principles of playing aren't all that different. For the later part of the evening she'll play a slow, relaxing tune, though she promises not to put any magic into it.

"I guess this really isn't so bad," she murmurs to herself.

Fluttershy

Despite the past month or so getting used to the new school and the other students, Fluttershy couldn't help being a bit shy when it came to meeting new people, a trait that never really went away despite her best efforts. Still, she did like the idea of getting to know her housemates better, and she felt bad for not helping Sunset put it all together. So at the very least, she was willing to try.

Currently she could be found on one of the couches in the common room, with Ballet underfoot (quite literally at times) as usual. And while she wasn't actively seeking out company or conversation, she was more than happy to chat with anyone who wanted to sit with her.

Peridot

[logdates]

Peridot had been a little unsure about a meeting with her fellow Eiather students, but she'd certainly been willing to attend. She did want to make friends, after all... It was just something she was still getting used to.

She was an early arrival, and was quick to settle in with a library book. She stared at the pages for a while, visibly frustrated. She wasn't struggling very much with her classes, so far, but something about all of this still bothered her.

At one point, she finally slams the book shut. "Okay, does anyone else find this all a little troubling?" The logic behind magic made sense in a self-contained way, but overall, Peridot still couldn't understand why it worked.

Canale

[Canale arrives quite some time after classes have ended, having spent the time in the library collecting the small pile of books in his arms, and he nearly turns right back around again when he realized he walked in on a small party. It's not that he hadn't overheard a couple of the other students talking about this yesterday, he'd just forgotten about it in all the excitement of settling in or he would have just stayed in the library...

The owl perched on his shoulder makes the decision for him by flying off to inspect the room and not coming back until Canale has found himself a nice corner to settle down in.

And that's pretty much where he's going to stay--out of the way, with an owl on his shoulder and a book in his lap. It's basically what he was going to do anyway, and it's not like he'd expected to be the only one here. It's almost second nature to listen in on everything else going on in the room ever while he runs his fingers over the raised script in the book, but mostly it's just so he'll have some warning if anyone gets near.]
