Paladin put his hand down. She'd unintentionally answered his question. He quietly mutters to himself "Geez, first the cold shoulder, now I'm being ignored by the teacher. This class is starting off wonderfully well..."

Darius had quickly gotten over his embarrassment and had started blowing smoke rings out of his nostrils again. Finally, tiring of that, he again, goes back to watching out the window.

Lee's antenna moved as he felt something strange happen to the emotions in the room. Looking around he notices a strange pony entering the room. He nudges Strong Hammer and points to Slate Armet "What the hay is this? He looks like a normal earth pony! What's he doing here?" his curiousness piqued, he extends his feelings towards this new comer only to feel some vague and mysterious shadow of emotion. Almost like he was trying to hide it. (((He's using his changeling ability to sense emotions here))). Turning back to Stronghammer, Lee has a puzzled expression on his face. "That's really weird. I just tried to feel his emotions, but all I got was some weird shadowy feeling." His interest now completely piqued, he watches Shadow as he enters the room.

 

"Really unusual, and thats comingvfrom a changeling and a minotaur, heh, but seriously. You cant sense his emotions? Isnt that, like impossible?" Stronghammer asked, fidgeting with tools as he stared quite obviously. "Well, an earth pony with a shadow, thismight get interesting."

Upon hearing what the class is about Brandi's head automatically snapped up. She was in her favorite subject and she didn't even notice until now! She then readied her pencil and notebook for any notes she might need to take and as she waited she doodled on the margin of the notebook. Even though she probably just changed her mood all together, she was still quite nervous about talking to any pony so she raised her hoof and waited to be called on.

[Professor Annabella 330]

Anna started speaking again, going over some of the boring rules and regulations of the school, though they were probably going to hear it 7 more times today. She noticed a raised arm, and she called on Brandi, the cute deer/pony/unicorn she had recognized earlier

 

"What is it?" She asked

[TechiePidge 64]

@,

 

Brandi had her hoof raised for around 5 minutes by the time the teacher answered, and by then she wasn't expecting it so she jumped slightly and let out a little squeak "Oh! Um, sense we will be doing various labs in this class, Will there be group assignments?" she asked in the loudest voice she can manage, which was just only loud enough for the teacher and everyone around her can hear.

Slate looked around the room, staring at each face of the students, before finally resting on a minotaur and and what appeared to be an overgrown bug, in the basic shape of a pony, oddly enough. While the rest of the students were staring at him, these were perhaps the most intense, or perhaps curious. Walking over to a table near them, he looked them over before turning his head away to focus on the class.

 

No need to bother myself with those two, no matter how hard they stare. Still, something seems different about them, I'm not sure what...This requires further study...

 

 

[Professor Annabella 330]

"Well... Yes... Obviously. That's the purpose of lab, not only to use the scientific method to solve problems, but also learning to do it with a team. In any science career, you'll have to know how to work with others, it's a life skill really" Anna glanced at the other students

 

"I will choose your groups at first, to the best of my ability, then later on you can pick them for your own"

Paladin:

When paladin heard this, he knew his goose was cooked. 'She's going to put me with that moron isn't she? What was his name? Darius! Oh, I better not get put with him. Brandi might be alright...she seems nicer then that Dragon pegasus. Talk about a cold sboulder.'he thought all this silently, not wanting to make anyone angry at his personal opinions of them.

 

Darius:

Darius had taken to blowing smoke rings out of his nose again, only this time, he was shooting sparks through the rings. Possibly a fire hazard, but he didn't really care. It was entertaining. Upon hearing that they would be working in groups, he sat up and looked back at the made with a dragon wing. 'It was cool that she has a wing like me' he thought to himself. 'Maybe we could be parteners.'

 

Lee:

Lee looked back at Strong Hammer and nodded. "It should be impossssible. I don't know what this meansss, but it is very interesssting. Thisss meritsss further invessstigation." (((Sorry! I totally forgot that I give Lee a hiss when he's in his changeling form. I'll keep it up from now on so you can tell when he'sss a changeling and when he isssn't)))

"Well, interesting it may be to you, confusingvas tartarus to me, i dont now much about magic so for all i know he has an amulet or something blocking you from using your capabilities"? Stronghammer asks, as he tirls what liiks like a big hammer for a pony in his fingers.

Lee shakes his head.  "There should be no way for him to be able to block my emotion sssensssing. It's not magic, it's how I sssurvive. I sssurvive by sssensssing, then consssuming sscertain emotionsss. Like the pony two deskss down from uss should probably ssstop thinking about what ever they're thinking about becaussse theress enough...uh...*cough*love*cough* to fill me up for a few daysss coming off of him.

Ssscientifically, it's a biological ability of mine to sssensse emotionsss. Ssso if he'sss blocking it, then...well...I'll need to look deeper in to thisss." 

As he says this, he shifts to look exactly like Slate and gives him a hard look before shifting back in to his normal changeling form.

"Well, could he be another changeling? I dont know much about how they work except for qhat you have told me to be perfectly honest. But other than that, I cannot seemvto think of a way possible to block a changeling from sensing emotion. That is unless he doesn't have any? I mean it could be possible right?"

Slate felt a tingling on the back of his neck, a sure sign somepony was talking about him. Trying to focus on the teacher, he felt his eyes constantly drift back to the pair behind him, whispering something, no doubt about him. Shuffling uncomfortably, he only grew slightly more annoyed when they continued to stare at him.

 

I hate being out in the open, mainly because of all the people staring at me. Makes me nervous. I know I may not unique to your eyes, but this staring is starting to aggravate me. I hope I can just get through this class and never have to see them again.

[TechiePidge 64]

@, @,

 

Brandi suddenly whimpered and asked another question that was somewhat half to herself "Is there a way we can work alone?" She asked, being the shy pony she is, any pony who knows her well would figure she would ask this question, however she hardly knew anyone in here so her voice sounded scratchy, stuttery, and frightened.

Lee shook his head. No, I don't think he's another changeling. I think he's..." at that moment he felt Slate's unease at being there and his nervousness. He shivered and stuck out green tongue. "Eww! He's nervous. I never could get the taste of nervousness down." He said with a grimace.

"That was weird. It really was. But kinda cool. What is he so nervous about? Seriously, it isn't like we are going ti eat him. Yeah, I have.been accused of.being that kind of a monster. I am.a vegetarian, and you eat emotions." Rwaching forward and tapping the pony, he asks. "What are you so nervous about?"

[Professor Annabella 330]

@, 

 

Anna sighed at the doe, again stopping her talking to answer her questions. She had a lot to go through, and was really worried about her time, but answering these questions would save them from being asked later. She turned from the board and said "No, in the real world, if you study Biology, you are going to have to learn to work in a team. I will make sure to match you up well, in case there are any problems, but sometimes you are going to have to cope with one or two ponies- er.... Creatures you may not like"

 

"Now that I answered, quiet down, we're almost done"

 

She turned again and went over safety procedures

Slates' ears twitched when he heard them talking again. Eye twitching, he struggled to remain calm before paranoia overtook him. However, his concentration was broken when he was tapped by the minotaur. Turning around angrily, Slate spoke in a deep, cold voice.

 

"Don't. Touch. Me."

 

Glaring at the minotaur and his compatriot, he spoke again.

 

"I don't care who you think you are, but you will not touch me. Not unless you want an early trip to the grave. That goes double for you, bug."

Lee blinks at Slate, then gags at the anger that starts pouring off of him. He puts his head down until he's able to get himself under control again. Sitting back up, he glares at Slate. "You know, just because something happened to you doesn't mean you should take it out on us. I..." he quiets down as the teacher walks past, but then keeps talking in a whisper. "I had my wings cut off and  have to watch my back for other changelings from my hive. Otherwise, I could end up dead. You're not the only one with problems here."

Paladin watched Brandi from across the room, his empathetic side taking over. He wished he could do something to help her feel better. 'She seemed pretty happy around that changeling from earlier' he thinks to himself, 'maybe I can find him after this class is over.' 

@@Mint Drop,@,

Darius had been sitting in his chair, completely bored, when his eyes open really wide. He felt a sneeze coming on. He remembered what the teacher had just said about not lighting things on fire so he quickly looks around for something to help. Finally he gets up out of his seat and runs over to the window. He pops the latch and opens it just in the nick of time. Darius's sneeze sounds like a cross between a dull roar and a loud pony sneeze. Also, as he sneezes, a long tongue of flame rolls out of his mouth and singes the grass and plants outside, as well as scaring a few teachers and students that happen to be walking by. He sighs in relief at not having burned anything and slowly closes the window, hoping to remain inconspicuous. He slowly (and very unsuccessfully due to his bulky size) tries to sneak back to his desk without anypony noticing. He then slowly sinks low in to his chair, hoping to avoid attention.

"You know, you must have issues. Threatening a minotaur? Are you high? And I am just curious is all. You need to chill. Maybe get a few friends andhave some.fun in life. After all, we are in a school for freaks, I mean I think I saw a naga pony before. Weird but cool, part snake part.pony."

Slate winced and cursed internally as both the minotaur and bug reprimanded him for lashing out.

 

Damn it, I showed weakness...Have to be strong, can't let them break me, not like last time...

 

As Slate was about to speak up, he stopped as he noticed the bug looked quite nauseous, on the verge of throwing up. Closing his mouth and lifting an eyebrow, he studies the bug.

 

Most unusual...it looked fine a moment ago, albeit slightly annoyed. So why is it sick now? Did it eat something it didn't like? It only got this way after I got...angry...at...the minotuar....That's it! It's an emotion feeder! Emotion feeder....that sounds familiar...

 

"Hey, bug. What's your species called?"

TIME SKIP! 4:30PM

 

Brandi and Leo sit in the large dome area where they study their various classes. Brandi however, kept getting distracted by her spells book, which she brought with her and forgot to put in her locker. Eventually she just gave up and dove into her spells book, reading over every page like she hasn't read it already. Then she looked at Leo, who was reading up on the basics of 'Earth Pony history' and automatically got a evil idea, one that you wouldn't really think a pony like Brandi would think of.

 

(I am soooo very sorry If I cut anyone off! I warned you in the OOC thread about this >.<)

[-Inactive- 78]

Sunset hooves had been sat around on a bench since he didn't have many classes that day. He sat on the bench reading up on his old family back in appleossa who ran the apple farm, the more he got through the book the harder it was for him to stop, he had found a sudden interest for farming that he never looked into his whole life. Sunset didn't know why he had an urge to read on his farm but he felt like he had to. Sunset started to think back on how he never gave his family a chance to teach him all this stuff because he was so stubborn all the time. He got his map of equestria out and started to mark it.

[Krampus 197]

Well...that was an unnecessarily long class...at least I got a feel for my peers and even made an enemy or two, Slate thought to himself. This certainly has proved to be interesting academy. It certainly has earned its' name...

 

As he was walking down the hall, he noticed an entrance way into what appeared to be a massive library. The studious bookworm in him stirred, he made his way inside, impressed at how many books there were. Smiling just a little, his eyebrow cocked at the sight of an odd looking pony and her even more curious companion in what appeared to be the study area of the whole section.

 

Silently watching them, Slate walked over to a nearby bookshelf and picked up a nearby book, A Thesis on Interspecies Reproduction. On the cover was a griffin and pony holding hands, with hearts above their heads. Rolling his eyes at the saccharine cover, he pried open the book and began to read.

 

To Slates' immense surprise, it was not, as he had expected, a childrens' book telling why it's okay to love another creature, but in fact detailed reports and observations on interspecies relationships throughout Equestria and beyond. After reading a few, Slate turned his eyes once more to the odd group reading and silently wondered if they were crossbreeds sent here because of their odd heritage.

@,

Leo couldn't help feeling like pony's are watching him, he looked up slightly and noticed the evil look on brandis face, that's when he realized what book she was reading and automatically started shaking his head no "There is no way you are practicing on me brandi! Iv already been turned into a little cat...that hurts my pride". However even after consulting the pony who wants to turn him into things he still feels like some one was watching him.

 

(OOC: also ill let it slide, but the library is actually outside the school, the study area is just a big dome area with desks and chairs and stuff..)

Lee:

Lee was walking across the hall from one class to another when he a name that was familiar to him. He stops and turns to look over the study dome and spots a young dear pony sitting with a lion pony. He walks over smiling. "Hey Brandi! How was your first class?"

 

Paladin: 

Paladin had gone to the dome to study, but after a few hours of it, he got a bit weary. Sighing, he goes and puts his books in his locker. Returning to the dome, he quickly flies up to the ceiling and envelops himself in his wings, hanging upside down, and falling asleep. (((It would look something like this...)))

 

Darius:

After first hour, Darius had gone to get a late lunch/early dinner with the other carnivores. It had started out alright, but after finding them all much to rowdy for his taste, he took his lunch and moved outside where he sat next to the fountain. Morosely munching on what ever the mystery meat of the week was, he stared off in to the sky, imagining himself flying through the clouds with friends by his side. He shook his head. There was no way he could have friends. Everypony was at least put off by his mere presence, and those were the nice reactions. Many ran away screaming at first sight of him. He finished up his mystery meat and started blowing smoke rings out of his nose to pass the time.

@,

Brandi practically jumped at the voice when it said her name. Turning towards its owner she quickly smiled and replied "Oh hi Lee, my first class was....erm...Alright I guess" that's when Leo but in "Apparently she learned too much in that class, shes tempted to turn me into something again, why can't you practice on Rainmuffin after school hours are over?"

"Maybe because Rainmuffin lives on the other side of town..., sorry Lee he is just upset.."
