I'm kinda-sorta-maybe-not really. I'm asexual, but demiromantic, open to both binary genders, slight preference to girls. :3 (I'm female, by the way.)

@@Alex Kennedy, "I wouldn't mind learning some sign language," Sanuye grinned at her roommates. "That would make a lot of interactions a little less... awkward. I'm not sure how quickly I'll pick it up, but I'm willing to try and learn." {So that will mean I'll be helping you both with sign language, it seems,] Aonani signed to Tehret, smiling. [I agree that it's a good idea to have her learn. It'll be easier than having to write everything down whenever you're not present.]

@@Pripyat Pony,@, Sunset uncomfortably followed the teacher, behind the other three students. She studied the pony she would be facing off with. The Eaqlrth Pony - she seemed to be part Zebra as well - looked like she knew what she was doing here. Then again, Sunset doubted she could defeat anyone here, regardless of whether or not they knew what she was doing. She was small and thin, and was decent at dodging, but physically weak and just plain hated violence. It was likely that her "opponent" thought the young Pegasus might try to cheat and fly to avoid her attacks, but she didn't know how to fly; she had never learned. Sunset knew she would lose, and accepted it. She didn't want to win or fight in the first place.

@, Symphony followed the mare in and listened to her words. She frowned. "Burned down?" She echoed. "That's awful. Well, it at least explains why everything around here looks charred. anyway, you must not have heard me, because I said my name is Sweet Symphony. What's yours?" The orange Pegasus was listening to this through the hole in the door, having crawled over to it after the two mares went inside.

@, Symphony frowned, not expecting such a response. "Um... My name is Sweet Symphony. I don't know where I am.... I just woke up here. I just want to find the quickest way back home." The orange Pegasus overheard this, but did not move. While she was in the same situation, she wasn't comfortable asking others for help.

Sweet Symphony woke with a start, her ears ringing. She took a moment to let her eyes focus on the grimness around her, and to let the ringing fade, before standing up. She looked around the bleak landscape. Everything around her seemed to be burnt. Looking up at the sky, she was surprised to see that it lacked celestial bodies - no moon, and no sun. Had something happened to the Royal Sisters? Not far from her there was a wall with a door, and in the distance, she could faintly make out a building of some sort. Confused, groggy, and disoriented, the blue-coated Earth Pony started clumsily making her way to the building. As she got closer, she saw it was a house, comprised of three floors. By this time, she had fully woken up and walked at a normal pace. She cautiously approached the door of the house. Hesitantly, she reached a hoof up and knocked. Around the back of the building, a small orange Pegasus awoke with a splitting, migraine. She drowsily groaned in pain and stayed still until she felt she could stand. When she did stand, the world spun for a moment. Her head throbbed with every movement. As her eyes adjusted to the lighting, she found she was no longer in the room of the place she had to call "home," namely her room in the orphanage she lived in. Suddenly, she heard something. It sounded like hooves on wood. Looking around for the source, she found that she was at the back of a building. The noise seemed to have come from the front. Curious and cautious, the small Pegasus snuck around the side and peeked towards the front. A light blue mare with pastel hair was knocking on the door. The Pegasus, naturally timid, decided to stay put and see what happened.

@@Alex Kennedy, Sanuye and Aonani both nodded in agreement. "I do too," Sanuye said. "Though I've never been someone to enjoy school, I can't wait to get started. [i'm excited as well,] Aonani signed to Tehret. She then turned to Sanuye, pointed at herself, and held up two fingers. Sanuye grinned, getting the message. Anyway," the latter said, pointing down a hallway. "That was the way to the auditorium, right?

Sunset had been patiently waiting her turn, looking at the floor instead of the other students. She winced when the glass above them shattered and used her wings to protect herself from the falling pieces of glass. Some pierced her wings, but she had had much worse pain in the past. She winced again and brushed herself off, trying not to show how startled she was. She couldn't help but stare in confusion at the principal. Why did she insist on breaking the glass ceilings so much? She was the one who would have to pay somepony to fix it.

Sunset had shrunk away from the prospect of combat training, explained herself, and left to finder room. She fell into a troubled sleep, and was still tired in the morning. Now, she stood in the corner of the room they were being taught in, again in her cloak. She stayed quiet, thinking about the subject of today's class and what she might be put up to.

Sunset winced at the sound of the weapon in the principal's hooves going off, and again when she shot it once more. She exited the small crawl space and headed towards the room that the class had started in. There were some ponies heading off down a hallway, but some stayed and chatted. Confused, she timidly walked up to the principal. "Um... H-hello... Wh-what are we doing right n-now?" she asked with a stutter, hiding behind her long mane. She was so unused to talking to other ponies. Her voice was weak and quiet, partially from lack of use, and partially because she was naturally quiet and shy.

@, Sunset whimpered, ears flattened, when the teacher addressed her. She didn't have time to reply, as he continued talking to the class. Hide and seek. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad - she often hid anyway, though she had been hiding less after running away from her old orphanage. Also, she had somewhat proven her stealthiness the night before. She only hoped that she wouldn't get caught. She trotted away, to find the crevice she had hidden in last night. It wasn't far from the lobby. It was small, just too small for the average pony to fit into, but Sunset was small too. She easily snuck into the little crevice, tucking away her hair under her cloak.

A small orange Pegasus could be seen in the corner of the room, curled up into a ball. She wore a cloak, but what could be seen of her body was riddled with scarlet scars. Her long, brown mane completely covered the left side of her face, and her tail was long and trailed along the ground when she walked. It was obvious just by looking at her that she wasn't very physically strong, but she was small and stealthy. Having no place to stay after running away from her previous "home," she had snuck into a random building in the middle of the night. At dawn, a teacher had found her and been impressed by the fact that she had made her way in unnoticed. She had expected to be thrown back out onto the street, but instead, the teacher said she should stay and learn the ways of an assassin. Now, a few hours later, here she was. She heard the pony coming around and passing something around and stood up. She gingerly took the hidden blade and stared down at it, unnerved. She mumbled a quiet thank-you, but the stallion had already passed. She put the weapon on her hoof properly, but didn't dare show the blade yet.

Aonani followed behind her roommates and the teacher, not having much to tell anyone as she listened to Tehret's conversation with Zoho. 'Merging bending and science?' she thought to herself. 'That's an interesting idea. I hope for him that he'll be able to see it through.' Meanwhile, Sanuye wasn't paying much attention to the conversation, having never been very interested in science herself. ((School's been in the way and I don't have anything for them to say ^^'))

Aonani smiled, her initial embarrassment over being seen so excited gone. [A walk around the school sounds good to me as well,] she signed. [And I would be delighted to attend the Airbending class.] "I dunno what Aonani said, but I wouldn't mind a walk around the school," Sanuye added. "That's cool that you teach an Airbending course, though. I would definitely be up for that."

@@Torrent505, "Well, I came from the Southern Water Tribe," Mizuko smiled. "But I've been living here since my parents found out I could dual-bend, when I was little. They wanted me to be able to learn Earthbending, but there was nobody they knew who could Earthbend there. So, I've never had a chance to learn in the Southern Water Tribe." She looked at the pot Eet was pointing at. "Alright, fair enough. Didn't think of those," she said, shifting her weight onto one side. "What do you suggest I do with the water and dirt? Like I said, I've never thought of bending both at the same time."

@@Zhooves, @@Alex Kennedy, Aonani's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the teacher's appearance. It was obvious what he was; he had the arrow tattoos of a master Airbender, and wore the clothes of the Air Nomads of old, much like she did. Her hands flew excitedly through the air, too fast for anyone to understand. Sanuye, who had turned to face Zoho when he had stepped inside, didn't notice Aonani, only smiled at the newcomer and said, "Cool. I didn't know we were gonna have a teacher in charge of the dorm. I'm Sanuye."

Odd. Maybe it's a glitch or something. Here, let me try. Okay... seems to be working for me. I would suggest something, being an artist, but unfortunately I only use Photoshop for photomanipulations and FireAlpaca for drawing. Sorry ^^'

@@Zhooves,@@Alex Kennedy, Sanuye grinned widely. "Yeah, I agree, too. That is really cool that we all have something in common. Say, do-" She was interrupted by the door opening and a face appearing behind it. Both girls in the room stared at him in mild confusion. @@Torrent505, Mizuko smiled. "Well, I've never heard of plant bending before, so it's a pretty amazing concept to me. I've learned the basics of healing, but I'm not great at it," she said, standing up. She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Mixed bending? I've never actually thought of that. That's an interesting idea, actually, Well, even as much as I'd love to, there's not much around here for me to bend anyhow."

I'll try to get one in, but knowing me I'll probably forget until after the deadline xD
