[BULLETIN BOARD]

[Up on the bulletin board is a rather simple note, written almost stiffly, in the way most would see from people used to enforced meet and greets and the like. ...She may well be experienced in enforced meet and greets.]

Hello- I've recently arrived here to be placed in Gekronus Maius. I'll be looking forward to studying with all of you, particularly those in my house.

If anyone here shares an interest in archaeology, with that in mind, I would like to possibly share notes as one of the Sundered here- I'm interested in studying the differences in how various cultures here developed in the past.

- Yuume

[EXTREMELY used to enforced meet and greets.]

[GEKRONUS MAIUS COMMON ROOM]

Outside the matter of acting on campus formed habits, Yuume seems to be settling in about as well as can be expected. Which is to say, she seems to be doing well?

Mostly. New uniform on, she inspects herself yet again while passing a mirror in the common room, currently rather distracted. "I think I've put it all on properly..." She mutters, only to startle when she looks up to see someone there. "Oh-! Ah... ...I'm not in the way am I?"

[OPEN- SCHOOL GROUNDS]

"Don't chew that..." The warning is soft, and barely even scolding- and given to what looks like a small longhaired rat, currently perched on a young woman's gloved hand. The glove looks rather futuristic- but it's likely non functioning, fortunately for the familiar.

Still, they're hard to replace. So.

It could well be enough of a conversation starter for some- but others may in fact be drawn in by Yuume herself. The young college student approaches calmly, before asking- "Ah...Excuse me? You've been here for a bit, right? Could you perhaps help me with some directions? I'm still trying to sort out the campus layout..."

yo,
if you're an archaeologist type, i have a bunch of data which i both need looking at and i think you would be curious about
hit me up in the eiather common room if you're interested

[shadowslipping]

[oh hey she

didn't actually expect a hit like this!]

Would you care to define 'a bunch'?

(To be clear, I am interested- do you have a preferred time?)

whenever works for you

[shadowslipping]

[that's so many books holyshit that's so so many bo-

She could say now. She...could...say now,

that's desperate,]

Sometime tomorrow, perhaps?

[nailed it,]

[tiredcharmer]

see ya there

on campus

[blue_ice]

Seriously? Why wasn't the school giving out maps by now? The whole place was so convoluted that they ought to. That would be next on his list of projects.

Kaiba can't do anything about that right now, unfortunately, so because he's not a total jerk anymore, he stops.

"Where are you going?"

[shadowslipping]

Hmm. Something seems...oddly familiar about how this fellow looks?

Ah well. Yuume turns her attention on him, answering. "It's just one of the classrooms- I'd rather know where each one is ahead of time before the semester starts..." She gives the number of the room, adding- "It's for the Discovery class."

[blue_ice]

"Mm. That's up in the east tower, the room with the giant skyward windows. It's supposed to encourage open-minded spellcasting, as is necessary for that branch. Or something."

He opens his notebook and sketches out a very basic map, circling the spot where they stand now and then that tower. He's...surprisingly decent at the sketching.

"Any other questions while I'm here?"

[shadowslipping]

"Ahh, I see..." She...thinks. She studies the other a moment, taking in the uniform. Is...the remark because of house rivalry, or are they another sundered, she can't really tell which it is...

Ah well. "You're quite good at sketching," she comments idly, considering the other rooms she'll need to look for. "Do you mind if I ask about the other classes I have? I suspect I'll have better luck between you and this map..."

[blue_ice]

Kaiba shakes his head. "That's why I asked. So you don't get yourself lost and have to ask someone else."

That comes out a little harsher than he intends, so he sighs and tries a smile. "Okay. Where else do you have to go?"

[shadowslipping]

It comes out harsher, but somehow all she can do is smile a bit wryly. Honestly, it sounds like something she'd say if she was feeling especially testy...

Right, well. She gives out the numbers- "They're for the Etiquette and History classes, as well as Intimation, Modification, and Religion. I wanted to make sure I had a proper foundation for the magic classes...math at least is hopefully a constant," she finds herself remarking on that note. Particularly since there are two history classes and dangit she's taking 'm both.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba efficiently draws lines all across the map as she lists off her classes. "It is, but applying math knowledge to casting is an art. One that I've happened to learn well," he smirks. "Not that there's anything wrong with having a different focus. We need students of all specialties if we're ever going to get home."

And that answers one question: he's a fellow Sundered.

"I likely won't see you in class much, my focus is entirely different. But I occasionally student teach on business fundamentals, if that interests you."

[shadowslipping]

She just chuckles at that. "I would hope applying the knowledge would be covered in the magic lesson rather than the math class itself then," she remarks. "That one should be Modification, at least..." Ahh, but that aside. "Ah- so you came from another world as well then... ...It's good to meet you then. My name is Yuume Souryuu- I'm more for ancient history than business admittedly, but if I'm right about your uniform at least...perhaps I'll be seeing you in that Modification class?" Well, maybe maybe not. It comes down to if the classes are ever split between levels of skill after all.

[blue_ice]

"Ah. Learning from human errors. That class never runs out of material."

Kaiba laughs and nods. "You'll see me. I'm Seto Kaiba, and modification is my focus."

He's kind of a monster at it, really.

[shadowslipping]

"It certainly doesn't," she laughs, only to freeze at the name. "S..."

oh no that's why he's familiar.....

"...Seto Kaiba? As in..." Oh she really shouldn't ask, but- "...Duel monsters, Seto Kaiba?"

[king_of_egypt]

Let me be one of the first to welcome you to the academy then. It can be a lot to take in all at once but I'm sure you will get a handle on it in time. Do you have any other questions?

- Atem

[The interest in archaeology got his attention but since it was applied specifically to this land he made no comment on it. What he had learned about this place was.... confusing at best and convoluted at worst]

[shadowslipping]

For now I suspect most of my questions will be about where each of the classes are- though if there is anything in particular I should be avoiding, that would be good to know.

['Atem'? That's neat. Makes her think of Egyptian gods. No, Really,]

[king_of_egypt]

True, but considering how long I've been here that shouldn't be hard to answer. There is a teacher that is some cause for concern though I haven't heard of his whereabouts lately, also I suppose the lower reaches of the structure should be avoided. There is a spirit that dwells down there that we've been instructed to give a wide berth.

[Assuming the ghost dragon has not moved on that is]

[shadowslipping]

[blease ghost dragon, get sneep,]

Angering local spirits is far from on my list of things to do, so I definitely appreciate that warning.

A teacher though? On the off chance that they appear again, could you describe them? What did they do?

[king_of_egypt]

It's not high on my to do list either.

[Though he had certainly gone to investigate once...]

Sho? I think it was. I didn't have any personal interactions with him, but I have heard warnings about the guy. He has some obsession with mathematics I believe.

[shadowslipping]

Hmmm.

Well, I'm taking a modifications class, but I opted not to take any mathematics...I can't see the course being especially different from what I knew already from my own classes at home.

[king_of_egypt]

I take it that you excel at math then?

[shadowslipping]

I wouldn't say that. I'm simply not focusing on it as my primary study- at the very least it's still something I should be able to acquire a beginning amount of knowledge for by doing some research on my own; digging about for information I'm unfamiliar with isn't a foreign task for me.

[king_of_egypt]

Really? I was under the impressions that modifications required a considerable amount of math. Just don't be afraid to ask for help if you come to a point where you require it. You needn't rely solely on your own resources.

[shadowslipping]

Oh-

That probably did sound fairly prideful, yes. I certainly won't let myself flounder, you don't need to worry about that; if it does become too much, I'll have to see if I can take on a seventh class after all, ultimately. Between my required classes and what remained, there was only one slot left for a non-magical one after all...

[and she need....the historee...]
