private Welcome to Elderwheel College (SoLRP)

[The Original 571]

Magneus hummed a familiar

to himself as he fiddled with the laces on his dark purple hoodie as they drove to the college. His mother took a quick glance at him and sighed. "Magneus, are you sure this is the college you want to go to? I heard ponies from a different dimension go there, and i don't want them to do anything to you." she said and brushed a caring hand down the side of his head. "No, i'm pretty sure i'll be fine there. That's like, the billionth time you have asked me, you need to stop worrying" he said back. His mother took a deep breath and smiled, "I know you will be fine, just don't let anyone pick on you" she pulled him into a quick hug and took another deep breath. Magneus rolled his eyes and looked out the front window, "Oh, stop here, i'll walk the rest of the way" he said and opened his door as soon as his mother stopped the car.

 

He opened the trunk and pulled out a few bags. The driver door opened and his mother popped her head out, "You need any help?" "No no, i'll be fine." he said and started the half mile trek towards the college. It was in a very strange place, but that didn't matter much to him, he was told it was a very good college.

 

Magneus opened the door to the single building that made up the college, he noticed a sign above a nearby door that read 'Main Office'. "Guess this is where i go". He put one of his bags down for a second to open the door, afterwards he picked them back up and walked inside, the door slowly closed behind him. A rather small orange coated black maned pony was sitting behind a desk, he gestured his hoof towards the chair on the opposite side of him. Magneus was a bit surprised, but he sat down and put his bags down on the floor next to him anyway. "I supposed your here to check in and get your dorm number, right?" Magneus just simply nodded at the pony. "Good. What's your name?" "Magneus Do-" "Just first and last will do" "Oh. Magneus Varkarii." The pony pulled out a file and flipped through one or two pages. "Ah, here we go. Section B room 116, your roommate will be a pony named uh... Dirk. I hope your ready for anything, he is rather strange" he said and chuckled. Magneus lightly chuckled forcefully along with him and nodded. "Thank you, anything else i need to know before leaving to my room?" "No, nothing else. You can leave now" Magneus took a deep breath and picked up his bags and headed for the door. "Oh, never mind, of course you need to know something else. Section B is in the very center of everything" Magneus nodded and opened the door, heading for section B.

 

He opened the door to his dorm and was instantly greeted by the foul odor of curdled milk. "Oh gosh, whats that smell?" he said and pinched his nose close. "Oh, sorry. I haven't cleaned here in a while. If i knew you were coming i would have gotten to it a bit sooner" the silver maned brown pony said. He quickly rushed around the room picking things up and putting them where they go. He cleaned up the rest of the mess and hurried over to the doorway where Magneus stood. "Hi, i'm Dirk, your roommate" he said and extended a dirty hoof. "Uh, i think i would have guessed that by now" he said and slowly pushed the hoof away with his index finger. "Oh, sorry. I guess in my rush i forgot to wash my hooves" Dirk said and chuckled. "Make yourself comfortable, your bed is the one on the far left side of the room. Well far left to the doorway." he said and moved out of the way to let Magneus in. Magneus set his bags down next to the smallish dresser placed next to his new bed. He started to unpack and put things away in the dresser. "When do we start doing things?" "Day after tomorrow, everyone still needs to show up and get settled in. Before that happens, we can explore the place and have some fun. About a quarter of the students have already showed up" he said and laid down on his bed. "What percent are human?" "I don't know, i'm guessing very little amounts. If i didn't know any better, i would say your the first." Magneus just huffed, not surprised. He finished putting all his things away and he laid down on his bed, bouncing a few times to test comfort. "Not the best bed ever, but it will have to do" he said and closed his eyes.

(OOC: For this RP, I am going to say Diamond hasn't left her parents house and her guardian is the nanny she has had since she was born.)

 

"Ok Diamond, If any of those strange humans try anything...You buck em in the teeth, alright ?" Said Sunny Sky, As the carriage came to a stop.

"Yes yes, I know, Sunny. But don't worry, I will be just fine." She smiled and gave her nanny a hug. "I love you, I will see you in the summer." 

Sunny hugged her back. "Will you need any help with your bags ?" She asked. "No, I only have a couple...Love you Sunny." "I love you too Diamond." 

Diamond smiled and climbed out of the carriage, She flew up to the roof and grabbed her bags, Then trotted in the door, Towards the office.

(Edit: it posted too soon-I'm not close to being done yet! I sometimes hit Post bt accident on the iPod...)

 

Just off the property, a bush shifted slightly.

 

Thalia poked her head out and sighed. The leaves had been suffocating and she was unused to the hot climate of Arizona. Getting down here from Northern Canada had been a pain in the ass, involving multiple near-captures and much more money-swiping than normal. She still thought she smelled like hay from the night she had to sleep in a train car full of it.

 

Thalia had never been one for schooling-years on the road by herself left her little time and patience for the snobs of everyday life. However, the hilarious idea that ponies from another dimension were also in attendance was just too much, and gruelling weeks later there she was, in a bush, sweaty and a little grouchy about the hay.

 

Thalia stood up and drew a few double takes from passerby's and other attendees of the school, a black-clad leaf-covered girl with hair covering her left eye...not exactly an everyday sighting for the straight-laced Southerners. There was a sudden pang of homesickness the cold depths of her tiny alleyway home, but she shook it off and rolled her sleeves a little higher, desperate to escape the disgusting heat.

 

She strode towards the office, bagless, and pushed open the door with a bang, then froze in her place.

 

The black-maned pony-a godamned PONY-sat the desk gave her an inquisitive look and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

 

Thalia just stared. aware that her mouth was probably wide open. Shr then shook her head and laughed. "Joke's on me, huh? Very clever. Now take the costume off."

 

The pony frowned slightly. "This is not a costume, and judging by your appearance, you're probably on the wrobg property."

 

Thalia, still convinced it was a trick, sighed. This was always the reception she got-disgust. She rummaged about ib her back pocket, bringing up a variety of lint, change, hay, and a variety of unindentifiable objects, until she held out a crumpled and rather stained letter. She brushed off some strange goop and offered it ti gim triumphantly.

 

The orange pony raised his eyebrows at the notice of full scholarship, and asked her name.

 

"Thalia Arryn," she said, still with a triumphant smile, and the pony looked even more surprised as he found her name in the database.

 

"I see," he said drily, and handed her her key to Building A. "Enjoy your stay...Ms. Arryn."

 

Thalia turned and made a rude sign which he couldn't see, and set off to find her room.

 

Several wrong turns and awkward encounters later, Thalia was revelling in her bed, which she never could remember experiencing.

She had just showered for the first time in months and didn't even care that she was getting water all over the bed. Her clothes were drying, as she had washed those in the sink, and she lay under her covers feeling as though she was in total luxury.

(OOC: I thought it would make things nice if all the building's our OC's are staying in were closer together. Also...I kinda had the same thing as Cage...I posted a little too soon, I still had some more stuff to write so I don't know why I posted.)

 

 

After figuring out where her dorm was, Diamond trotted off down the hall towards building A which was across the yard from building B.

*I wonder if I have a roommate.* She thought, Unlocking her door to find her room empty. *I guess that answers my question.* She thought, Trotting over to one of the big beds and putting her stuff on top of it so she could start packing.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

"Humans! What is a human anyway?! Bright Spark are you sure you want to do this?"

"Dad, I told you. This is the best of all the collage options I was given. So what if there are theese 'humans'?"

"you might forget your a pony..."

Bright Spark facehoofed himself, "Exams! Ill have no time fo dat!"

Bright Sparks dad fell silent. "yeah, i guess." Eventually the car pulled up at the collage. He checked to make sure he didnt miss anything. He had cloths, dental tools like floss, his cd player and his 10 CD's, his iphone and headphones, and his comb. He waved his dad goodbye as he made way to the reception(?)

(OOC: oh yeah! Who wants to share a dorm with me?"

Magneus had almost fallen asleep, but then all the air was pounded out of him, and it felt like he broke a rib or something. Turns out, Dirk had decided to jump right on top of him, "So what are we gonna do first huh? Take a tour of the College? Roam around and check out some of the mares? Or 'ladies' as you humans say? Or maybe we can throw a 'just started college' party!" he said and jumped again for effort. Magneus sighed and shook his head, "Right now, i want to take a nap. I drove down all the way from... ugh, you don't even know what Oregon is, so there is no point in telling you" he huffed at Dirk and closed his eyes again. Dirk frowned and put his front two hooves up on the bed, "C'mon, Pleaaaase?" he pleaded. Magneus moaned and got up, defeated. "Fine, we can go 'check out the mares'" he stood up and looked down at Dirk. Magneus was 5'11" and Dirk stood about halfway up to his arm. "Your pretty small for a pony" he quoted from a movie he once saw, of course pony wasn't the word used in the quote. "Actually, i'm about normal size. I don't know why you would call me small." "Well, in my world, ponies are a tad bit larger". Magneus walked out the door and let Dirk lead the way. Some people and ponies were roaming around, getting to know the college.

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia had used the hairdryer provided in the washroom to finish drying her clothing, as she wanted to start exploring and meet new people-NOT ponies.

 

After slipping into her ripped jeans and faded top, the only clothes she owned, she made a mental note to steal a few wallets. Most of these kids probably wouldn't notice a few bucks missing.

 

Slipping into the crowded hallway she found a suitable target-a chatty girl who was wearing designer head to toe. Thalia easily slipped her hand in her purse and did her work. She chuckled at all the bills in her hand-served her right for standing in the middle of the hall and blocking people-but then remembered that the ones in the US were bills.

Thalis cursed loudly and, while checking her stash, banged into Magenus.

"Damn!" she cursed again, and as she bent to retrieve her money noticed the pony.

She looked between him and Magenus and coughed a little. "Sorry about that. My bad."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

After a few minutes of unpacking, Diamond got bored so she thought she would go and explore the college.

She trotted out of her room and locked the door behind her, Then walked down the hall towards the theater. *Drama is my first class tomorrow...I think.* She thought, Turning a corner and trotting past some girl picking up a whole bunch of bills on the floor. 

[The Original 571]

Dirk chuckled and continued walking on, "I'll go slow, you can catch up to me later" he said and passed by the others. Magneus sighed and helped her to pick up the money. "That's quite the bit of money you're waving around, there would be no reason to be doing that unless..." he smiled and chuckled. "Don't worry, i know how hard it can be sometimes. I'm Magneus" he said extending a hand towards her. "I'm guessing you're new here as well" 

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Bright spark got the directions to his dorm and started to follow them. As he walked he noticed magnus (did i spell that rite?) and thalia, the first humans, other than tge receptionist, that he had seen. He opened his suitcase and pulled out his fedora. Time to give his point of view!

"so your humans? Your setting bad first first impressions you know. I mean you," he pointed to thalia, "your cloths are too ragged. If i know my stuff then your a thief, and if not then your setting the image of one. See this hat? Its insta-class. Put it on and BAM! You look good." he then turned his attention to magnus "and you... Alright you seem ok." he extended his hoof, "cmon, hoof hum, fi- oh just punch my hoof!"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond couldn't help looking back at the two humans. *So those are hands...And why are they wearing clothes ? Should you look stylish for the first day at school on Earth ?* She thought, Looking at the bills one of them was trying to collect. *And...What are those things she's picking up ?* 

[Standard User 2,127]

Pensez sat on a bench aloof from the smattering of ponies and humans getting acquainted not far off. He noticed that the ponies were investigating the 'hands' on the end of the humans' arms - honestly, had these ponies not done their research? Pensez huffed a silent but still haughty air of superiority, then immediately took it back. I'd really like to have friends this time...and making fun of them probably isn't the way to do it. So, with a sigh, he hopped off the bench and trotted towards the pack.

"Uhm...hi, everypony- er, everyone. I'm Pensez. I'm really looking forward to getting to know your kind better!" he said, nodding towards the humans."I did a little research, and there are so many questions I have for you. Do you mind if I could pick your brain sometime? I'd love to write a story about humans." He smiled his warmest, non-threatening smile - something his mother had always said was a sure-fire way to make friends.

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia shook hands with Magneus. "Thalia." She made a mental note not to be such an idiot next time. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a klutz, and you," she said, turning to Bright and staring down at him, "are a bit of an ass."

Ignoring his rather rude comments about her clothing and lifestyle, she turned back to Magneus and noticed that another pony had walked over. She detected a bit of weakness in his smile and shook her head. "I'm not really sure if I'm hallucinating or this is a joke...but yeah, I guess. If this is real I'd like to pick your brain over too."

*Oh come on Diamond, Stop eavesdropping and go say hello.* She thought, trotting over to the group. "Um...Excuse me...I um...Do any of you know where the cafeteria is ?" She asked. "I just thought I would get to know the grounds a little more and I figured I would start there...But I don't know where There is." She chuckled.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

George woke up with a grunt, and looked at the alarm clock sitting next to him. It took a few moments for him to realize that the numbers displayed on the clock were much higher than he set his alarm. Cursing the clock for not going off, he hurriedly dressed and ran outside to his car. Still cursing, he slammed on the gas.

 

Arriving at the college, he ran into the nearest building, and stopped. "What......" he said, staring that the creature that was sitting at the desk, who looked up.

"Can I help you?" it asked in a voice that sounded female.

"Um.." he muttered, walking towards her. "George Haven."

She looked him over. "You do realize you're late, don't you?"

"Yeah, I kind of overslept..." he mumbled.

"Here's a map of the campus. Your dormitory is here. Cafeteria here." she said, pointing a blunt appendage to the various points.

"Okay, thank you... ma'am." he guessed, and ran out.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Thalia shook hands with Magneus. "Thalia." She made a mental note not to be such an idiot next time. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a klutz, and you," she said, turning to Bright and staring down at him, "are a bit of an ass."

She detected a bit of weakness in his smile and shook her head. "I'm not really sure if I'm hallucinating or this is a joke...but yeah, I guess. If this is real I'd like to pick your brain over too."

"well you see i believe it is based on my birthright. You see where I come from, everypony-errr body, are all stuck up, posh, aristocratic snobs. Theese two ponies may know it as Canterlot. Now that means tge only tales of theifery were just that. I was told it was wrong, and that your all bad. I wouldnt know because I was private taught. If you can prove me, and an entire city incorrect than please do."

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

George frowned at the map the receptionist had given him, and walked to the place she indicated as the dormitory. As least, he assumed it has the dormitory. That stub had so much surface area, she could be referring to half the college.

As he walked to the place she indicated, he saw a group of, finally, normal people socializing with those strange creatures. Pulling out the crumpled notes he had found about the college on the internet, he read that the college was shared by humans and... Ponies? These looked nothing like ponies. He walked up to a group which included a pony with a fedora, and another with a threatening smile.

(OOC: I'd share a dorm with you, Lord. Kolth, you would work to. How many people per dorm?)

[Standard User 2,127]

Thalia shook hands with Magneus. "Thalia." She made a mental note not to be such an idiot next time. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a klutz, and you," she said, turning to Bright and staring down at him, "are a bit of an ass."

Ignoring his rather rude comments about her clothing and lifestyle, she turned back to Magneus and noticed that another pony had walked over. She detected a bit of weakness in his smile and shook her head. "I'm not really sure if I'm hallucinating or this is a joke...but yeah, I guess. If this is real I'd like to pick your brain over too."

 

"Hey," Pensez said aside to Thalia. "Canterlot is sort of like you humans' "New Yee-ork City", I suppose. Lots of power and fame there, so if what he says is true, it might be best to stay on his good side." His grin returned twofold and he began hopping in place. "But that's no matter! Anytime you're free, we can have a little sit-down and chat."

 

(OOC EDIT: Good @@Doctor-Whooves,  I'm rooming with darklord already. Last I checked it was two to a room, but if it's okay with the GM I see no problem with a room of three.   )

Magneus raised and brow and decided not to even touch him, "If i were you, i would go and take psychology" he said with a huff.

 

Pensez sat on a bench aloof from the smattering of ponies and humans getting acquainted not far off.

He smiled his warmest, non-threatening smile - something his mother had always said was a sure-fire way to make friends.

Magneus smiled and nodded, "For another dominant species, i wouldn't mind doing that. Come over to dorm 116 section B if you ever want to ask me stuff" 

 

Thalia shook hands with Magneus. "Thalia." She made a mental note not to be such an idiot next time. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a klutz, and you," she said, turning to Bright and staring down at him, "are a bit of an ass."

If this is real I'd like to pick your brain over too."

Magneus half smiled at Thalia. She seemed like a good person, she just needed money. Besides, the girl she stole it from didn't really need it anyway. "All good, anyway, i need to catch up with my roommate, it was nice meeting you all... kinda" he said, gesturing to Bright Spark. He started to speed walk towards Dirk who was waiting not far ahead.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

George strained to listen to what the smiling one was saying, then turned to him when he had finished talking. "I couldn't help overhearing," he began, grinning. "but I must inforn you, my dear pony, that New York is not much of a playground for the rich and famous. More like a hideaway for the poor and unknown. The crime rate is especially high, too. Do they have crime in your.... dimension?"

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia smiled at Pensez, not quite used to the idea of alternate-pony dimensions. However, she wasn't going to let a snob get the better  of her. She nodded at his last statement and then turned back to Bright firmly.

 

"Ironically you know nothing about humans, yet you base your judgement upon the state of my clothing, as though that automatically creates who I am. In fact, rips in denim jeans are actually considered by many to be fashionable." She tilted her head to one side. "You are also making a claim on circumstantial evidence. Don't be a Catelyn Stark."

 

She turned away from him and noticed that a pretty pony had approached, asking where the cafeteria was located. "Uhm, it's that way," said Thalia, pointing. "Or...uh...that way...I honestly have no idea." She laughed a little. "I was looking for it too, if you wanna join me."

Diamond smiled. "Um...Sure. I never really got a map...The pony...er Person who told me where my room was wasn't very helpful...I was kinda hoping for a map or something but they looked like they were going to explode if I were to ask one wrong question." She giggled.

"Crime?" Pensez cocked his head back and thought. "Well, the worst I've ever heard was a mass robbery in the town of Ponyville. Someone stole an entire month's worth of cakes from the sweets shop there. But I had heard that New York - did I say that right, 'York'? - was the place where dreams are made. I always imagined it kind of like a rainbow factory, but rather than create rainbows, it creates dreams. Am I in the ballpark?" Mentally, Pensez scolded himself for believing anything the begger pony at the train station had said about Earth.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's actually a metaphor. Kind of the same way you ponies say.." he checked the printed webpage, " 'Ah Hayseed,' They aren't actually made there. But tell me about this 'Camelot' that you were talking about. Do you have a king, or a prince kind of ruler?"

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Bright Spark shook a hoof at her. "yes yes i understand dont judge people yada yada yada im a steryotypical teenager." he turned to the other human "quickk question. Whats phycology and why should i care? And you know what? As of now, im going to clean the slate. Starting now I know none of you" he whisperd so tgat nopony could hear "faggots..."
