[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..."

It's quite alright. It's interesting to talk about it, given the chronological differences.

[Which is to say, she's still beaming on the other end of the conversation.]

I would love that- I have a bit of time before I properly start classes, so it would be quite useful.

[king_of_egypt]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[If he was a more self conscious person he might have felt threatened by the concept of someone possessing more knowledge about the game, but no- he was just wondering how it had evolved.]

Alright, then where should we meet? [Deciding that it might be easier to go to Yuume than the other way around.] Remember to bring your class schedule, unless you already have it committed to memory.

[shadowslipping]

I have it on my person to be safe.

The courtyard seems the safest option; I will of course be in the Gekronus uniform, though you might spot me by my familiar as well. They're a rat, they'll be on my shoulder.

[king_of_egypt]

[Ha!... uniforms. Right right- some people did tend to wear those. When you did manage to get Atem into a uniform he usually wore it differently than most as evidenced by the prior Domino school uniform]

Gekronus, right. I'll remember that. The courtyard is precisely where I would have suggested. I'll bring my familiars along as well.

[Not offering up much in the way of details himself, Atem gathered up some of his things and headed out to the designated location. It wouldn't be hard to spot him either- it never was with that hairdo, and he was in the traditional clothes of his homeland since he had some free time today as well. He was accompanied by a floating crystal about the size of a fist, and a metallic falcon that was situated on his shoulder]

--> Action..?

[shadowslipping]

[Shameful! Terrible! Yuume will be in her uniform properly thanks.

One hopes Atem noted what his familiars are or look like though, otherwise it might still take a minute to spot him...or, well. Maybe not, with Egyptian garb.

The face might not be quite what Atem expects though...] Ah...

Atem? [she asks, blinking.]

Oh derp, yes. --->Action XD

[king_of_egypt]

[That would have given the pharaoh a good chuckle. His spirit had been around for eons now, what was the harm in bending a few rules?

Nope! He just assumed it wouldn't be all that hard to find one another once they both arrived there. Yuume would be a new face to him, and since he had been here a while that would be fairly significant in itself. She might also be the one looking around inquisitively at the other people gathered here actively seeking him out. There would be enough clues to go on.

The Egyptian garb- definitely would have given Atem away via their earlier discussion. When he first caught sight of her, he tilted his head in some nagging confusion. Although he knew they had never met before she was not what he expected... and there was something oddly familiar about some of her features. Still, he did not leap to any immediate conclusion] ..... Oh... .yes. That's me. [The hesitation marking his momentary lapse] I see you weren't kidding about the rat. [The words came forth before he could stop himself, likely sounding as asinine to her as they did to him. Just what was it that was bothering him about her countenance...?]

[shadowslipping]

[The hesitation at least, she's passing off as simply not expecting a real rat. She chuckles, letting the familiar onto her ungloved hand.] Mmhmhmmh...I wasn't, no, [She laughs.] This is my familiar however, yes- I've called them 'Tsuchi' for now, for their colour...

[ah....earth, of course... The rat in question is rather lovely though. They have curiously long fur actually. Anyway.]

I feel I should perhaps be the one more surprised however, [she adds, narrowing her eyes somewhat.] Your familiar is...a crystaline being? [She seems less surprised and more curious at least.]

[king_of_egypt]

[It's probably for the best anyway since he still couldn't explain the odd feeling] That seems fitting. [Atem offered with a nod] The name could end up sticking.

Really? [Never dreaming that it was the familiar that prompted her statement. Yuume had expressed some knowledge of dueling and of Seto Kaiba so perhaps she also would recognize, if nothing else, the similarity between himself and Yugi Mutou. That did not appear to be the case so his ego took a small hit. Capricius on the other hand seemed to be glowing to be the center of attention] Yes, so he is. This is Capricius Crystallius- I usually just refer to him as Capricous. [The familiar spun in the air and chimed pleasantly.]

[Horus was not slighted by the oversight of including him in the introductions, sitting dutifully on Atem's shoulder]

[shadowslipping]

[Here she thought she was being polite. Your hair might look it bud, but your face is Egyptian- not Japanese. more importantly she's definitely studied your steles Atem, so her first thoughts are absolutely not the Mutous

But also she wanted to be polite :[ ] Capricous hah..? [A bit of a wry smirk at that.] I they're not as 'capricious' as the name makes them sound...

...And...you have a hawk as well? It's nice to see them all, [she compliments.] Ah- but we were going to talk about more than just familiars, neh? Should we find somewhere to sit?

[king_of_egypt]

[Usually he was more humble so the fault lay entirely with him. It was still amusing to the familiar however who knew his master quite well and could sense that disappointment at seemingly not being recognized.]

Well..... [Atem coughed into a loosely balled fist with one closed eye and the other looking towards the floating rock. Then he assumed his normal posture and smiled] That's debatable however I find him to be pleasant company on the whole, and he is quite talented. [With the compliments doled out Capricius willingly let the topic slide to the Millennium Falcon- Ie Horus]

Yes- this one came to me through unusual means. [Raising a hand and letting the bird hop to sit on his gauntlet instead. Then he held him out a little closer for Yuume to see] Mm. Yes we were.... you want to sit for a while? [ He thought they might start for the tour first but, he was flexible] There is a bench just over here that is unoccupied.

hurriedly covers for thing i forgot orz

[shadowslipping]

Unusual? [she repeats, raising a brow at the bird. And the tour is definitely important, but she wants to get some things jotted down and ready from her schedule.] Ah- not for long, just to get a few things from my bag, [the woman explains, gesturing to it.] I want to make sure that I know where my classrooms are as we go through the tour, but I'll need my schedule for that...

[Searching through bags while standing is awkward- also, it'll make it easier to hold conversation.] Thanks again for offering to do that, by the way.

ha ha, no worries!

[king_of_egypt]

Yes- during the course of researching a local game. I and a couple of friends found this tower filled with memorabilia dedicated to it. [If that isn't strange enough...] We faced many challenges and by the end of it we both ended up with something to take a way from the experience. [Stroking the bird's head] Horus- came into my possession then.

I'm in no hurry, so please.. don't feel rushed. [He followed along with her to the bench and swept his cape out of the way to seat himself.] It's my pleasure.

[shadowslipping]

A local game? What was it called? [She asks, fishing through the bag once seated on the bench- a section is of course being used to hold the thing as she searches.] It sounds like it was quite the challenge at the least, though I can't tell if I should be surprised this was over a game or not...

[The implications there being of course, her own studies into such important things in the past.]

[king_of_egypt]

Fantastic Foils. It's a lot like Duel Monsters in some respects and just as steeped in mystery. [Getting comfortable, he angles his shoulders towards her so he can maintain some eye contact] Probably not, given the sort of world you come from.

...... Though I'm not really sure how much you are aware of- save for the shadows of your time. [That was plenty to deal with all on it's own]

[shadowslipping]

A foil of foils, [she jokes, holding the contact for the sake of conversation.] Sounds interesting indeed...when it comes to what I'd know though, I'd have to know where to begin- not to say that I have a lot necessarily, but I don't know what it is that would or wouldn't be common knowledge in the past, or the similarities here and there, [she adds with a blink.]

[king_of_egypt]

Basically. [Smiling at the humor.] That's a fair point too. By your time there's been so much history that even parts of it could have been erased by now. [Atem is curious but not pushy about it]

Having any luck finding your schedule?

[shadowslipping]

[Hey now, weren't you the one to say you were patient? There's a rustle of paper as she pulls it out, raising a well humored brow as she stands and also answers.] Parts undoubtedly would have been- the question though, is what parts then neh? When you wonder what is lost, what are you specifically wondering about?

In any case, I'm ready for the tour. Shall we?
