February Event and Intro Log
Orientation Week/Magic Mayhem
The campus of Diatu Magicademy stretches out before you, confused and chaotic and surging with energy. Where are you headed? To your dorm or suite, to get settled? Maybe you need some food now? Wherever you head off to as your first stop, you have to deal with the snow. Helpful or proud students are passing out various magical remedies to get you where you need to be -- umbrellas with a nasty tendency to dump snow directly onto other people nearby, an iron tube that projects fire but appears to have no off switch, snowshoes that keep you slightly too high off the snow and thus provide no friction for stopping...
Familiar Follies
Familiars do not harass or harm each other as a rule -- but that doesn't mean they have no pecking order, and the week of Orientation finds them all jockeying for status and position as suits them. This can take the form of pranks, displays, competitions, or simple physical assertiveness towards each other. The goal is simply to be seen as superior by the student body. New wizards especially may find themselves surprised at this behavior of their familiars...
Research On the Sundered
With the arrival of the Sundered come those wizards engaged in research on their presence here, now set to investigate what brought them here and how to get them home. All Sundered students are asked to meet with representatives of the research team, to introduce themselves and relate what they will of their homes. In addition, the team requests samples of blood, hair, and skin -- carefully magically collected, and the researchers will sign in the presence of the Sundered a Glyphed contract that forbids them from using the samples for a purpose they know will be harmful. (They quite understand your reasons to be suspicious of this collection! And they will not compel anyone who refuses even given these conditions.)
Furthermore, they request to perform a few spells on you for testing purposes. It is, quite regrettably, possible that if you consent to this testing, you will come away with a temporary side effect -- a slight change of hair color, traveling two steps for every one you take, one hand moving about a second behind the arm it should be attached to, or being ridden by a penguin. No need to worry, these changes won't last more than a day!

Not even if you coated your tongue in butter first would that slide off the tongue]I'm sure that must take some adjustment. [Also what a terrible thought. A world where magic was less common place. Sure, some places in Midgard would fit that bill, and not every human had a connection to the supernatural but she was an Aesir and magic was tightly interwoven into her day to day existence. Also, don't be too apologetic Yugi, there were still some Aesir that would be impressed with so little too. Like Skuld. She's an idiot though, don't be like her.
She's also practically Hel's bff so don't listen to that last statement. Hel would find the shadow games intriguing] Good. [As previously stated Hel can't stand Medjed.] I'm not familiar with Atem, I've only had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting Medjed and then later Osiris. [It's curious that Yugi called this pharaoh his ... other self] So you and this pharaoh share a connection? [Is this a Freya and Gullveig kind of deal? Does she need to look out for your other self appearing when you go to sleep Yugi? Inquiring minds need to know][Looks like your familiar could use some manners] For once, I can't think of a parallel to my world. [Which says a lot for the uniqueness of this pet] How many sides are on the die? [ If it's the standard 6 then that could lead to a myriad of combinations] Your beast might be more useful than this cloth.
.... [Pandora. Right. Should Hel know a Pandora...?
Nope] They are playing with forces they can't fully comprehend. [Apparently she was going to be in her dorm alone because no one so far shared her house. Well, she could turn it into a proper lair then] Gekronus Maius. [Least she knew where to go to retrieve the infinity cloth.] Were you headed there next..? Or did you have something else foolhardy to involve yourself in?no subject
well damn. maybe he will consider changing it. ]I don't think it'll be too bad though. Ever since I solved the Millennium Puzzle I've encountered a lot of it, though it's nothing that I could really wield. [ he couldn't cast spells, though he supposes he had his own special brand thanks to his ties with the pharaoh. maybe yugi will be able to find something from his own world to impress hel. a lot had definitely happened in his lifetime and he'd kind of been at the center of it. ] Osiris? He's one of the Egyptian Gods that's helped the Pharaoh out of countless situations. Compared to the other two gods, Obelisk and Ra, I want to say that he was the closest connection with Osiris, or Slifer as he's more commonly called back home. [ he nods. ] Y- Yeah. For the longest time he shared a body with me, his spirit having been bound to the Millennium Puzzle. But... he's gone now... He didn't belong in this world, er, my world, and he'd fulfilled his duty, so it was time to move on...
I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing either. [ aw, peregrin, don't be like that. yugi will pet him until he's relaxed himself. ] Six, and the faces are Cat, Rat, Snake, Fish, Phoenix, and ???. Because of the question marks the possibilities are endless.
You're not wrong. [ he shook his head. ] I, ah, should probably head there next, though it's not what I was originally intending. [ but then this happened so he shouldn't be running around anymore. ] H- haha. No. I think taking it easy the remainder of the day is the way to go.

At least it's under consideration]If this truly is a school, they won't expect you to hold any sort of mastery over the craft. They'll ease you into it. [Trying to stay some of his concerns about the subject. There was something about the name of that puzzle that intrigued her, it definitely sounded like a powerful artifact to have such a moniker. Perhaps, the human's lengthy tale did have it's own ups and downs. The way Yugi had stood against adversity and insurmountable odds likely would have impressed her. Especially since he was just a human.] She. [Hel corrected.] Although- I think she mentioned having been a male before. [Whatever. It doesn't really matter] I haven't met the other two, but I have a feeling I would have in time. [
Maybe not Obelisk, nor the incarnations they held in Yugi's dimension] I wouldn't know what that's like but it sounds annoying. [To share a form. Still, the way Yugi hesitated she picked up on something else.] ........ but you haven't. [To put it bluntly]I can't even fathom how a creature such as this was created. [It's so random, and the possibilities are infinite]
[Hel so no further reason to pry into his personal details. It was none of her business what he had originally planned to do] That's likely for the best until you're sure that the colored lights were the only side effect from their spells. [.... then she thought to tack on] I suppose I'll be seeing you around campus.

person god. ]I suppose that's possible. [ he taps his cheek. ] Though we'd really only seen him as a giant red dragon with two mouths... [ but, uh, yeah, there's no need to sweat the details. ] ... [ he blinks when she calls him out on it and he instinctively reaches for the chain of the puzzle that's not there and hasn't been there for some time. he swallows thickly, fingers eventually taking holds of his jacket. ] I'm trying. [ so, no, he's not. ]I don't really know either, honestly, but he's been nothing but helpful so far. [ and yugi's really taken to him. ]
Yeah, I think you're right. I can always pick up where I left off tomorrow. Thanks again, Hel, and I hope to see you around. [ he gave her a smile and headed back towards the dorms. ]

You'll ruin her image] ...... I wonder why Osiris had not mentioned such a specific detail. [Hel was mentally thinking of the two forms side by side now.] There is much we still do not know about the Gods from the other realm...... [That much she would allow. Noticing the reflex she knew she'd struck a cord] ...... I wouldn't know what that's like. In my dimension I was on a journey with others to halt Ragnarok. When that task is done, I will return to my rightful place in Helheim. [Assuming they are successful] It's just the way these things work... the wielder of the runic knife will return to their land and that noisy slob of a Valkyrie will return to Asgard. It's something I knew from the start and have accepted. I won't miss them harassing me with all these meaningless side quests... [Somewhere in there she was attempting again to let Yugi know it was natural to feel this way, but it somehow got lost in her own desire not to appear too attached to the rest of her party. In reality, she did worry about losing that odd dynamic they all shared...]The Gods of this realm must have an odd sense of humor. [... but one she could appreciate] He should serve you well.
[She gave him an nod as the two parted ways]
