What an... Interesting place..., Rurouna's Arrival

[Rurouna]

A loud gulp sound escaped the slender throat of a female as she began to silently make her way down the seemingly endless hallway. She was a small girl, no more then 5’1’’ in height and nearly buried inside of the large coat that was slung over her shoulders. She carried a single bag that was hung over one of her shoulders, which held all of her belongings. She was a young girl, yet wasn’t fooled to the world and was hiding many a secret… One of which was cloaked in the jacket she wore… A pair of white wings were concealed beneath the fabric, and the only thing that hinted to their presence was the very casual movement of them shifting to get comfortable.

What one would notice first about the girl, wasn’t her hair color or how she dressed… Rather her eye color. She had two different colored eyes, the left a deep brown and the right an icy blue. She was a Lycanthrope, or werewolf as many had called them, and that was one of the most distinguishing features on how people would recognize her in that form.

There were only two possessions that never left Rurouna’s gaze, and one of which was tucked on an inside pocket of her coat. It was her wand, one that was just by luck something that she had come across. The other… Was a shimmering blue egg that was cradled as if it was a newborn in her arms.

Moving down the hallway, Rurouna did her best to move as quickly as possible. She wasn’t sure how to act around magic folk, and was unsure how she would be welcomed. She was raised in a human world… where humans feared and poked fingers at anyone or anything that was different… so it was only second nature for her to hide what she was. Many a time people would come behind her and pull on her wings, just to see if they were fake, and when they didn’t simply pop off they fled in fear of the ‘freak’

They were painful memories… But hopefully they were in the past now. Pulling out a small sheet of paper she had found on campus, she began to investigate it slowly… Trying to find her way around the best she could with what little resources she had. But she was a smart one, and one problem didn’t hold her in place for long. Sighing she began to continue down the long hall, looking at each of the doors around her, clutching the little egg tighter to her frame. “Well… Hopefully we can learn to call this place home huh?” she asked, looking down at the egg in her hand. Knowing she wasn’t going to get an answer, she continued forward, wondering what this place had in store for her.

(Weee! X3 Finally part of the fun!

[Catolf]

"Oh... HEH.. I think you both would, and will be doing just fine.." Lacey grinned slid across the flood in a black tank and long pants in a slight crouch enough to give many a start. "Ohhhh.... EGG.." when it came to animals Lacey had to be in everything, really it was an addiction or something of the sort, he would just say he was passionate about his work.

"New girl! New egg...Pretty thing..." His tail swayed behind him dragging red curl's over the ground.

"You know what it is...?" he looked up at her shaking red locks from his eyes. "OH sorrryyyy.. Lacey.. Er.. is that Mr. Xubi.. who knows who cares right.." He stood, he was an overly tall overly thin and overly loud man, nearly seven foot he was a big oaf which a child-like personality...

Who happened to be the Vet...

No really... i'm serious.

(hi)

[Rurouna]

((yay! Hello! :3))

At the sudden response to her question, Rurouna couldn’t help but utter a shrill scream, not expecting someone to actually answer, and in her start she nearly dropped the little egg she clutched close. However, fast reflexes and such quickly proved useful and she hugged the cool oval to her chest, a sigh of relief escaping her.

It was then though that Rurouna finally got a look at the person in front of her, and gave a faint smile, though she couldn’t help but notice the tail… But hey, anything was possible here right? Shifting her wings to a comfortable position she nodded before looking down at the glimmering blue shell. “I… I don’t really know. I found it while I was out one time.” She laughed, not being able to really hold it back at the mans personality… Though when he stood it left her jaw agape, seeing how she really hadn’t seen many seven foot people.

Clearing her throat a little, she brushed away a strand of brown hair that had fallen into her face, her smile becoming more friendly and comfortable as she began to relax around the new person. Though he was different from most people, it was actually reassuring to her to see that… to see that it wasn’t just her. “It’s a pleasure to meet you… Rurouna.” She said, extending a hand towards him. It was a good thing it sounded that she was beginning to meet people, especially since this man (though it didn’t really seem like it), was a teacher.

[Catolf]

"Ah Rurouna? Nice name, it's fun on the tongue.." he grinned, "No need to be formal...I'm just a Vet.. i think only animal's can take my personality long you know.. so that's what I went for..." he chuckled and sighed.

"SO... you don't know what it is? It's awful big.." He placed a hand on his hip in thought trying to remember what kind of egg he had seem that large before. "Well.. it's brightly colored.. large, and sense their are no dino's but would it be safe to say it could either be along the lines of a Draconis or a Griff type..but i guess if you think about it a Draconis type would just be a big dino.." he nodded to himself.

"I've gotten to handle a Griff egg before... but it was much smaller... maybe it was a difference in species. So many different Griff types I have a hard time documenting them all.." he chuckled. "I'm not sure about Dragon egg's though, again that species problem we fall into again. BUT. I'm sure I have a few books i can look into and we can figure that out and you will know proper care for the little guy or gal inside." He nodded.

"Right.. hey.. do you know your room yet? I can't just drag you around without a room or anywhere to go.. heh.. I'm a bit of a chatter box.." he winked.

"I get excited about little things..."

[Rurouna]

”Thank you.” For some reason, Rurouna just… couldn’t stop smiling. Was it the fact that perhaps she found a friend? Or… was it something more? Of course she just came here, so she really couldn’t do much as of yet, but knowing the company of a friend is there was more then enough for the brown haired girl.

“A Vet?” She questioned, her eyes growing wide. What are the odds! “Oh no! I’m an animal person myself… So I know what you mean.” She said, grinning happily.

At his mentioning of the egg she turned her attention back down towards the oval in her arms and began to look it over somewhat, nodding occasionally. “I’ve never seen eggs really, other then that of chickens and such… So this is all so new for me.” It was somewhat exciting to have a mystery setting right in her palms that might be something that many people thought were only figments of an overactive imagination… It nearly brought her to the point of squealing in her excitement. “O-Oh… Okay” She said as he mentioned the bit about finding a book… Boy these people were friendly!

“Nope, you caught me just as I came in.” she said, laughing a bit. “This is all so new…” she said, giving a small glance around the hallway. However she looked towards him as he talked about him being a chatterbox and only laughed more, shaking her head. “Oh no don’t say that. It never hurts to get excited about things. And hey! I’ve just made a friend!” She said, her two different colored eyes lifting up towards him happily.

It seemed…. Rurouna was forming a crush…

[Catolf]

He just smiled and gave a nod. "Alright then.. well getting you a room in the girls dorms will be top priority. I think there is a divide where the boy sand girls separate, we could stop by Lo's room after we get you settled." He nodded.

He then rubbed his dark nails though red and black tresses in thought, "Yeah that would be alright. You see I know how it is finding a stay egg myself... that's how my first born came to stay with me.." He laughed a bit. "I get tossed things but hell... you only live once." He dug around in his pocket a little and pulled out his wallet and opened it showing her a picture of a small Naga who was playing with unicorns face seeming to have a great time.

"I found this girl right in the desert and she was holding his egg.. she gave it to me..and boom.. became a dad overnight.. scared the crud out of me when he hatched.." he laughed. "But that was over seventeen years ago.." he laughed once more. "But... Lo's got a fledgling Griffin so.. maybe he might know about that egg, if not I know he's got books too. He might help us out." He was in all sense of the word an overbearing, loud tell'all when it came down to what he did.

He was a father of two, try to imagine him as your dad and you might see yourself pulling out your own hair. "If not I can call home.. something will come up.. we'll find out about that egg one way or another." He smack his leg, "Right..my friend, let's head for the rooms! Onward, need to get you to the office." he hopped a moment and walked briskly.

(watch out.. he's a letch. XD but not uncontrollably so..XD)

[Rurouna]

Rurouna listened attentively to Lacey, nodding occasionally as he spoke. She couldn’t help but be amazed by everything, seeing how all of the magical topics… And she just couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw the picture of the naga. But she smiled, “Oh… He’s adorable.” This was all so new… But… exciting!

Hugging the blue oval to her chest she nodded, eager to find out what exactly dwelt within its shell. “Alrighty, let’s go!” Her wings extended slightly from underneath her jacket, and she readjusted her bag on her shoulder, wondering what would await her at this school. So many new adventures… so many new things… She just couldn’t wait! Trotting behind Lacey she grinned, brushing some of the brown hair out of her face as she did so.

((Hehe xD Uhoh!))

[Catolf]

He just grinned at her heading for the stairs deciding small talk was good to waste some time, 'So.. did you get here by your parents bringing ya'?" he asked, "Or did you come here like most of the kids and wanna be a bookworm in the advanced knowledge of magics and things people are hush, hush about.." he laughed a little climbing the stairs.

[Rurouna]

((sorry it took me so long to get back! x_X))

Rurouna looked up somewhat curiously at his question, following close behind him as they walked forward. She hugged the blue oval to her chest before she then shrugged her shoulders a little. “Actually I just sotra stumbled across this place… I didn’t even know places like this existed.” She said, a light laugh escaping her, still surprised and amazed by everything she had come across just within the past few minutes.

[Catolf]

"Ah..a curious lady indeed." He grinned. "I kinda applied, and waited. And waited. But they finally got back with me, a magical school needs a vet. Animals get sick, no matter the species." He grinned.

"Oh right, the office." He put his head back on the right track and looking at the doors ahead, "You don't mind roomates right?"

[Rurouna]

Rurouna giggled faintly before nodding, some of her brown hair falling into her face as she looked up towards him. "Yeah I bet. It seems like there are a lot of people here." She said, subconsciously testing the air around her, picking up many different scents... "And hey, being a vet is never a bad thing. Personally I've always liked animals better then people." she said, smiling down at the egg a little, so far this was her companion, and she was indeed excited for the day that it would hatch!

At the mentioning of a roommate, her eyes lifted before she shook her head. "Oh no! Not at all! I'm lucky enough to have a roof over my head, a little company doesn't hurt anyone." She said, grinning happily.

[Catolf]

"You and I both, most people annoy me, animals have no bias, they tell the truth without even realizing it." he smiled at the thought. "Maybe you could even be my pretty assistant. " He grinned. She seemed to like animals, and it would be nice to have someone to talk too.

"So roommates are fine then? That's good, you have to get along." He grinned.

[Rurouna]

Rurouna couldn't help but blush some at what Lacey had said. An assistant to a vet! How interesting would that be, seeing how she loves animals so, and despite him being a teacher had formed a small crush. She was only here at Pashers for a short time and already, look what she was getting herself into. Though she had no arguments, in fact she was rather happy... For once in a long time. Grinning widely she bounced to the tips of her toes, hugging the egg even closer to her as she did so. "Oh I'd love that!" She said, giggling some. "To be able to see all the animals here, that'd be just amazing!" of course she kept her mouth shut about other reasons.

"Oh yeah, roommates are fine! And I'm not all that hard to get along with." She gave a small pout, though smiled still, happily.

[Catolf]

He turned and grinned at how excited she was which too made him easily excited back. "Well then. I suppose it's settled, maybe I'll see you out at the clinic sometime for an interview eh?" he chuckled and jerked on the office door only to find it empty inside.

"Aww... looks like were going to be waiting a bit longer..but...maybe.." He grinned heading inside and hopped in the chair looking though a file cabinet. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind me placing you myself, sense you need to get that little egg into a nice warm room, maybe an incubator.." he hummed liking the sound of that reason to go though things.

"Sit, Sit! Won't take a moment!" he grinned.

[Rurouna]

She eagerly followed him into the office, but when it was empty she wasn't sure what to think... She'd maybe have to wait? However, seeing him leap into the chair and go to the file cabinets her jaw nearly dropped as she grinned happily. "Oh thank you!"

Turning one of the chairs around, to where the back was facing her, she sat down, letting her wings extend a little beneath the jacket. One disadvantage to wings... not being able to sit properly in a chair. Putting her cheek against the cool oval she held she smiled happily, closing her eyes. They found a home! Some place that actually accepted and welcomed her and her little partner... She never thought that such a place existed, but she was more then happy to be proven wrong! "I can't wait!" She said, giggling happily.
