Let The Games Begin

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! Wonders Await Diatu Magicademy is open to you in all its glory. Have fun!

The future was still uncertain, and it would take time to figure out just what it had in store for the pair of them.

That was a fair assessment of each. At least it seemed as if none of their personalities should clash so the dorm would be a welcome retreat from the day to day activities of regular school life.

After Atem had completed his rounds he returned to Yugi, clutching his familiar between his hands. It wouldn't have done much as a precaution against telekinesis however it made the pharaoh feel slightly better. "Yugi?" Are you aware that a serpent monster is purring beside you..? The sight of peregrin gave him pause.

Yugi was glad that he hadn't really clashed with any of their eventual roommmates. Just like Atem had surmised it would make for a nice retreat following what would probably be an intense school day.

It was quite the sight, to see Atem holding his Gem, but it was kind of cute. Hopefully that would be enough to keep him out of trouble. "Yeah? oh! Atem, Capricius, this is Peregrin, my familiar." Peregrin beat his wings and rose into the air, flying closer to get a look at the two of them. Like Capricius he couldn't talk, but he didn't seem to mind the other two, so when he returned to Yugi he draped himself over his shoulder and purred his approval. "I think he likes you."
