Settling in. Open to All

Living Quarters--room 042. Loki was...less than pleased by the items he'd been given, or that he had only a single room. It was better than the dormitories though, and he had made do with far less before. Still, the house robes...Red and Black, while nice, were not his colors.

His mind was already turning with the beginnings of plans. First priority was to learn the magic of this world. Apparently it was more effective than his own, and that annoyed him greatly. So learn this world's magic, get the lay of the land so to speak. Learn more about the major powers. Survive.

Find him in the common hall of the living Quarters, the Library checking books, or checking out Makerion Keep--since he is "House Ka". Feel free to mistake him for a different house with his green, gold, and black outfit however.

Personal Business--closed to Roisin Murphy

While settling in, Loki had not forgotten he'd agreed to help someone here. Roisin had managed to find most of the loopholes, while bargaining with him, and he was pleased. It was always more fun to work with clever people. Besides which, he truly did want to help her for now. Learning more about her unwilling passenger was necessary for his own purposes. Could the demon be friend or foe? How much of a threat was he?

The first step to doing all of this, would be learning more about how the demon was bound. Which meant taking a look at her tattoos. Sketching them, analyzing the way the magic wove through them--he could tell the general pattern, but not the details of the weaving yet. If the spells were 'clothes' she wore, he could tell the clothing was meant to protect and contain, like a coat-keeping body heat in. But the 'how' it kept the body heat in was what he was missing.

So he'll be looking for Rosh, while also learning his way around the campus.

"I could tell you and you could access it on your terms, prepared, or you could stumble on it and be all Dee-Dee: 'Oooh, what does THIS button do, Dorkster?' While I don't think you're that dumb by any means...I think some of the crap here could even give you a surprise. A nasty one. Let's say I don't want to see a cute green, black, and gold god-skwudge on a wall sometime, huh?"

She took a bite of her own ice cream. "Besides, they can't punish me unless they catch me at it. I don't plan to let them catch me at it if I can at all help it."

"Yeah, well, our normal powers, whatever they are, don't work as well as the stuff we learn here. So something big and nasty could get the drop on you and then we'd be calling you Green Jelly, not Loki, and that would suck for everyone. The people who like you here, like me, and you, too." Isabel nodded at that.

"I mean, I know Headmaster Birony sealed away the undead dragons, but tick-tock, eventually they're gonna come back. And I, for one, plan to be ready." She put one fist into the palm of her other hand, letting the spoon fall in her ice cream urn as she did so.

Isabel picked up her spoon and crammed it, laden with ice cream, in her mouth. She had the grace to chew and swallow it before she continued.

"I'm not sure because we were all being protected so they couldn't get at us. I'm pretty sure Grieve at least started out undead, and I think Mournless auto-resurrected himself somehow? But don't quote me for sure on that. It lit a fire under my butt though, that's for sure."

Loki might find her some night in the Library of Fire and Ash, studying hard and taking notes.

Isabel reached up to rub at the back of her neck, frowning. "Yeah, my grandpa warned me against messing with dragons a long time ago. He's got history. Not with these specifically, but in general, you know?"

She took a deep breath. "Yeah, I do. I think they're part of the reason we're here in the first place, actually. I've been taking history class, and this semester I plan to take the updated version with Professor Ire. Try to figure out the correlation. I'm not big brained enough to put all the puzzle pieces together yet, but I think our first arrival, their reappearance, and then the fact more Sundered are coming in now? It's all a part of something. Maybe they're trying to make dragons rule again. I mean, Ire himself doesn't want to, but...the others? It's a bad thing for humans and anyone who ends up siding with them. Unless we all can figure out why and do something about it."
