Artemisia

Keren was pleased by Ms. Frey's sensible answer, while it did not resonate completely that multiple people had experienced memory lapse she justified it in her mind that surely some other students had also been anxious before the trip. She looked down at her map but did not see anywhere she particularly wanted to visit. The other students seemed like there were places they wanted to go, especially Thalia. She seized this opportunity not to be alone. "Uh...I am sorry I don't believe I know your name...would it be all right if perhaps I tagged along with you? I really don't want to be alone in a new place." she was talking both about the village and about the academy. She resumed eating her omelette scarfing it down before it began to get cold. She finished it off and took a big drink from her orange juice. She wiped her mouth off with her napkin and sighed contentedly. She was hoping that the other girl would also want to visit the used book store and the vintage clothing store, if the weather continued to be this cold she would need warmer clothes.

Keren sat and listened to Ms. Frey's announcement. She was glad to hear they would soon be off the train, she felt as if odd things kept happening and she really had no recollection of what had happened the night before, she rubbed her eyes to get the sleep gunk out of her eyes. She looked around hoping to see food but didn't. She waved at the attendant "Uh...could I get some food please?" and was grateful when the attendant nodded and left to get her some. When she came back with a large omelette and some orange juice she also handed her a map which other students also seemed to have been given. The town seemed to have plenty of places to visit and she was glad to have a map so that she wouldn't get lost. She placed her food infront of her and began eating as Ms. Frey spoke to them. But then when Sasha asked that question, that she would have liked to ask her mouth dropped and she set her utensils down. She listened very closely for Ms. Frey's answer. She looked around at the room, where they also wondering the same things?

Keren wandered into the dining car behind everybody else, everybody seemed to be talking to eachother but she had not met anyone to talk to so she just stood there, as two of the other girls introduced themselves, Luce and Thalia, she realized that it was her turn to introduce herself. She mustered up her courage and as she shook in her boots finally spoke to the group, " "Uh...Hi. I am Keren Jay." She said nervously still then turned her head to the next person expecting them to speak up and introduce themselves. As she looked around the room she saw all sorts of different people, from the prim Luce who seemed disturbed by something to the cool and collected Thalia who spoke without a waver in her voice. The others in the room who had yet to introduce themselves also seemed to be of a wide variety, they all seemed involved in what they were doing and did not seem to notice her. Not knowing where to sit Keren freaked out and flattened herself against a wall wishing that she could just blend in like a chameleon and not have to deal with other people.

Keren crossed the crowded station and reached the area where she was expecting her train to be and saw quite a few people around her age standing around talking to one another. They looked like they may be also going to the academy so she stood around hoping to hear one of them say something about it. She rocked back on her heels nervously,and pushed her dark brown hair out of her eyes as she looked around the station searchingly for the train. She looked down at her hands, one was clenching her carpet bag tightly, and the other was holding her letter and ticket, she held up the ticket so she could read it. It seemed that the train should be arriving shortly and that it was to be a long over-night trip. At least I have a sleeper bunk, 110, so I may be able to get some sleep. She thought to herself. She shifted her weight from foot to foot, her awkward and anxious shuffle made her seem like she needed to use a restroom. She tried to calm herself and think about what classes she would be taking, she thought I hope I get chemistry and biology! But what if they only have lower levels or bad teachers! What if they have horrible academics?! Why am I even going to a school I know nothing about? She wound up psyching her self out instead. When the train pulled into the station a woman approached all of them, that answered Keren's question, and told them to follow her and leave their belongings with someone else. She clutched her bag to her, not wanting to let it go. "Um, excuse me m'am may I please hold on to ONE of my bags? I don't want anything to happen to it." She looked at the kind looking woman and was able to calm herself down. She looks responsible...Yeah, totally safe, responsible adult. No longer alone here, the others seem to be my peers...She thought to herself and looked at the mismatched group...They look all right.

Keren pulled her dark brown hair back into a pony tail. "I told you we were going to be late Mom." Keren Jay said to her Mother, in the drivers seat, her voice dangerously close to a whine. "Oh the train doesn't leave for...a couple minutes. Get out. Go GO catch the train sweetie and call me as soon as you can!" Her mother said her voice beginning annoyed then became frantic. She unlocked the doors and popped the trunk of the car with the push of a couple buttons. She looked over to her daughter, the last of her she would see for a while. Keren smiled at her, "Okay, I love you Mom. I will talk to you as soon as I get the chance." She opened the cars door and hopped out swinging around to the trunk. She pulled out her duffel bag and her odd looking satchel made of the ugliest upholstery fabric ever, and swung them over her shoulder. She slammed the trunk shut and ran into the crowded station. Behind her she heard her mother shout "Goodbye little Jay! I love you!" and drive off. She looked around the station and down to her ticket, she bounced on her heels and then sprung off to find her train. She attempted to ignore how nervous she was about this 'Academy' but could not get over the fear of how lonely she might be.

Lately I have been into Fleetwood Mac/ Stevie Nicks. Soooo good, her voice is amazing and her songs are beautiful. Other than that Mumford and Sons and Foster the People mostly.

I do not really know what my reputation is on the forums, I suppose it would be good but neither admired nor ignored I am kinda just average, not well known(just a bunny).

MaryAnne dropped the towels and gave him the jug of water and towels. "Check for fever, then come get soup for him. I am go to try to find the apothecary Nyx Morton." She ran out the doors of the tavern and onto the cobblestone streets and ran acroos searching for the apothecarys shop she charged in but nopony appeared to be there. (Hey remember the apothecary?what happened to him?)

MaryAnne shook her head, "I will get the supplies you two get him upstairs into room six, I will be right up with the supplies then I have to search for the apothecary maybe he can assist us, or at-least know what is wrong." She set his head down and ran out of the room to fetch the towels, blankets, and water.

MaryAnne dropped her soup in surprise as the exhausted stallion collapsed in her inn, she got up and rushed to the gray stallions side. She felt his neck for a pulse and exhaled a sigh of relief to find a beat. She shook him to try to wake him and he seemed to be somewhat conscious. She ordered the other two stallions "Get me water, soup, a towel and blanket. We need to get some food in him and get him comfortable." She pinned her maroon mane back again and took a deep breath. "Sir? Are you all right?" She lifted his head with two hooves to try to get him to look her in the eyes. "Silvermane!" She shouted "You would know what to do right?"

Artemisia laughed as he picked her up "Really Red, I am fine, you can put me down if you want." She giggled, "Do you want to stay a while and sit down by the fountain or keep going, what time is your next set? What time is it anyways?" suddenly she realized she had forgotten that there was still the rest of the Hearts and Hooves social.

Artemisia laughed, "Oh really? I doubt that there is much magic in me." she blushed when he pecked her cheek. She shook her head. "Don't doubt my decisions!" She said jokingly and laughed. "Come on." when they reached the next split she turned left and at the end she could see a fountain. 'Not a dead end obviously."

She smiled "I will try it, but honestly I can hardly lift a book with my telekinesis. I was just never very good at it at all." She shook her head, "And my little brother is practically a prodigy. Lets go left again at the next split." She continued walking at a steady trot besides him.

Artemisia smiled "All right, that sounds great. I might not be very good at the spell though, I do not have very much power." She turned left and continued through the maze side by side with him. She then found them at a dead end "Great choice Red, no wonder you dislike these." she said jokingly then turned around.

She laughed, "Success!" then lead him away as he suggested, she kept a brisk trot in the direction until they reached a fork, they had the choice to either go right or left. She asked him "well, your choice. Left or right Red?" She looked back at him "Stop lagging behind."

Artemisia laughed "It couldn't be THAT bad could it?" she turned back and smiled at him "Besides if we get REALLY lost then you can teleport us out of here but until then this seems quite fun. Doesn't it seem fun Red?" She asked him, her smile turning into a confused frown. She raised an eyebrow quizzically.

MaryAnne poured the soup into the last bowl and gave a bowl to Silvermane. She sat besides him and began to eat her bowl of soup. She smiled. "Take a seat over here with us Decan!" She patted the chair besides her with her hoof gesturing for him to sit there, "Is that all right with you Silvermane?" ((OOC: Did you see the new post by Auriety about new changes to the rp world? I will be working on updating the rp for these new changes soon. Please remain Decan though, that would be much appreciated))

Wow. I hope I can figure this out for my role play I wish we had that custom character limit but thank you for all the other features I can't wait to implement them

MaryAnne smiled "Well no that will be fine, would you like to accompany us for a meal. The soup smells ready now." She stood up and moved over to the pot. She lifted the lid and smoothly ladled soup into two bowls, she then held the ladle in hesitation above the third bowl. The soup was a creamy brown with floating bits of carrot and other herbs, the delicious aroma wafted through the room.
