Ciel smiled at the blonde pony, "I don't think you're weird at all, Gardenia." And that was the honest truth. Ciel had never had many friends due to her always running around trying to find her cutie mark. And if she did have any, they were really Amour's friends who let her tag along. So it was refreshing having such an attentive friend. She grinned and got out of her seat to sit next to Gardenia, be sure to not sit too close and touch her flank.

Gardenia let out a sigh of relief, and returned Ciel's smile in full. She was surprised when Ciel got up and started to approach her. Gardenia's heart started to race and sent blood to her cheeks, making them blush a faint rose pink. Her breathing stopped for that moment, but then resumed when she realized that Ciel had just taken the seat right next to her. "Oh, well that's good, then." Gardenia managed to say in a voice hardly above a whisper.

Nightshade came back a few minutes later and sat down two seats away from Gardenia.  "Sorry," she smiled.  "Took longer than expected."  She smiled.  "Should we go find that schedule put up?" she asked.  "We'll need to know where to go in the morning.  I don't think following the mass swarm of ponies will work tomorrow."

I wave back at Cinder. Then I pull out my sketch pad to kill time, I see the page I ruined, I rip it out and throw it away. I pull out a pencil and begin to sketch a field with a mountain in the background (I do landscape sketches like that in real life) "Beautiful" I say to myself. I continue sketching , and I look at the clock "sheesh time is going slow" I say to myself again.

Gardenia's ears perked up at Nightshade's question. She turned to face Nightshade, and responded, "Oh, right. But, where's Cinder, shouldn't she join us?" As if to answer her question Gardenia caught sight of Cinder reentering the Canteen. Gardenia waved to her.

Seeing the pony wave at her, Cinder returned the gesture before trotting over towards the three familliar faces.

"Hey!" She greeted them happily "What's up? Did I miss something?"

Noticing Gardenia she considered trying to say something about Pelate - trying to help somehow - but she didn't even know how she would even BEGIN to start explaining something like that. She settled for rubbing a foreleg against one of the more stubborn smudges on her goggles instead. Edited June 21, 2013 by Cinderscribe

(So when does everybody leave for their dorms?)

 

After Ciner leave, I decide to get up and peek through the door. I see every pony inside socializing. *wonder when (lunch dinner?) will end* I look at the clock. And shrug , this was going to be a while... (Where's the DM to tell the time in the role play) I go back out and sit.

"Well, we were just going to go check out the schedule so that we won't get lost tomorrow morning." Gardenia explained calmly, evenly. Her heartbeat had slowed down by now.

 

"I do wonder why she wears those goggles at all times. It just seems a little silly if you're not in a setting where something could just hit your eye. Guess it must just be force of habit." Gardenia thought as she reached to touch her necklace. She always brought along the case for it, if she ever decided she wouldn't wear it. But, she never decides that. It's not even that the necklace has sentimental value; if anything, she detested what it represented. But nonetheless, she wore it everyday.

"Sounds Good!" The ashy mare chirped cheerfully (also, with alliteration it would seem, go me!) as she fell in beside the other three. "I guess we're probably going to have a few classes together, aside from the obvious ones I mean."

 

Cinder noticed Gardenia reach for her necklace, something she had noticed previously but never thought to ask about... why hadn't she asked about it before?

 

"Oh, I like your necklace!" She said. "Wheres it from? Whats it made of?"

"It's a gift from my father; three amethyst gems inlaid upon silver." Gardenia had briefly considered calling it a peace offering, but the reason behind the gift wouldn't matter too much to Cinder, she figured. Gardenia turned to Ciel, "it's not that I am much one for jewelry, but he insisted that I wear it."

 

"Wait, why am I telling her that?"

Ciel smiled, "Well that's how some fathers are, I guess. They always have an intense desire to see you use or wear the things that they give you. I suppose that goes for mothers too." she laughed, remembering how her own father had given her a painfully bright yellow tutu (which she hated), and had been ecstatic for days when she finally wore it in public.

 

"It looks really nice on you, by the way." She said a bit too eagerly. Whoa, Ciel turn it down a bit! She chastised herself. "It really brings out your eyes." She added quickly, in an attempt to cover herself but only managing to make her previous statement all the more weird. If she weren't in public she would have face hoofed herself.

"Th—thank you," Gardenia felt her faint blush return upon the compliments she was receiving from Ciel. "Perhaps I should thank my father. I mean, we aren't exactly on steady ground but a letter would probably help that." Gardenia found herself gazing into Ciel's eyes for a few moments, but she snapped out of it upon remembering there was two other ponies.

 

"Um, so yeah. Let's go check up on that schedule."

Please start winding down interactions and heading towards your dorms. After everyone is in their dorms, and either settled down or asleep, we'll continue to the next day and classes.

{Thanks to my tardiness, I've been left behind in both interactions. :/ Let me stick Cliff and Zatiko in their dorms and I'll let you guys finish up talking. I also have no idea what happened to my banners, my computer derped and now I can't find them in my picture folders. X_X }

Cliff stretched his wings and sighed. He hadn't gotten much to eat, after that brief and rather weird interaction with the sweater-filly, he had only just managed to grab a bite to eat. There were a few other Pegasus ponies he had been able to talk to, which had been nice, but now he was a little tired and felt like getting to his dorm to talk to his roommate.

 

The Pegasus pony settled down on the unclaimed bed and stretched his wings, yawning a little. Tomorrow, there were classes. Wonderful.

Zatiko let the other pony calm his roommate down, feeling a little grateful she had stepped in. Otherwise he felt he would have given his roommate an earful; had he even talked to the filly? Had she given him any other reason for not liking him, except frowning? Still, he edged away from the conversation as quickly as possible.

 

"Excuse me," He murmured to his roommate and the dusty pony who was now chatting to him, "I am going to retire to the dormitory. There is much I need to accomplish."

Diamond Dust walked through the hallways. He hadn't really talked to anypony because they had all seemed... unfriendly. So he didn't really anypony yet. Hay, he was in a dorm by himself too! Dust sighed, causing a little coal dust to form a cloud in front of him. He couldn't see where he was going for a second and bumped into Gardenia. 

@@GaleFenrir,

"Oh, sorry bout that. Couldn't see where I was goin. Are you fellas headin to the see the schedule?" It looked like they were going in that direction, and these ponies seemed friendly enough, although Gardenia had seemed a bit uneasy after being bumped in to. Dust turned away from the group and sneezed, sending a cloud of coal dust in the opposite direction. He smiled sheepily at the group, as his bunny Coal slowly peeked his out of Dust's saddle bag.

Ciel

Ciel was about to say something else to Gardenia when a brown and black stallion with coal literally trailing his coat, bumped into Gardenia. Ciel stiffened and found herself taking a few steps forward suddenly, and then halted quickly. What in the name of Celestia, where you going to do just then? She thought to herself angrily. Besides he probably didn't mean to.

Ciel gave the stallion a tight half smile. "Yes, we are...." She trailed off waiting for him to fill in with his name. She had seen him in the auditorium and the canteen, but never made an effort to interact.

"Oh, I'm sorry I should at least say mah name if I'm gonna walk with you guys. Name's Diamond Dust. Dust is fine. And this is Coal." Dust nodded his head backwards toward the small animal in his saddle bag. At the sound of his name, Coal jumped out of Dust's bag and onto his back. "Did you notice that not many ponies seem friendly around here? And I didn't catch your name..."

I sigh "alright...I'll meet you there" I put a hoof up waving (goodbye) to Zatiko. I look at the ponies walking out of the canteen. I try to find Gardenia, no luck *ill try again tomorrow...* I put on my saddle bags and walk away, i left the picture I showed Cinder behind on the bench, completely forgetting it, and from all the ponies moving around, it was swept away.

I open the dorm room door (I'm assuming Zatiko is already in there) I greet my roommate, "hey, Zatiko" I jump into my bed letting out a loop loooong *siiiiiiigh*. "I'm beat" I look at Zatiko and back at the ceiling "ready to hit the hay" (heheh...puns) I still have the grim look on my face (I usually am going to be like that...at least until I get my confdence back) "Zatiko...can you turn the light off, please" I say with my eyes closed, ready to sleep.

Gardenia was casually walking alongside Ciel, when she felt herself walk into a wall. To her horror, it was a fuzzy, fleshy wall. She took several steps back immediately, and saw that she had indeed bumped into a stallion. She let out a hardly audible squeak, when she saw that Ciel had taken a few steps forward defensively. Seeing that, Gardenia was able to regain her composure. Unfortunately, not enough to have something to actually say, but at least she wasn't shivering.

((For pacing's sake, how about we assume that we are on our way back to our respective dorms, having already checked the schedule?))

Nightshade had gone ahead of the others, finding the schedule and jotting it down.  She was now sitting in the dorm room, finishing the last of the unpacking she had.

Psych Ward made her way to her dorm, wondering where her room mate was.  She hadn't seen her since leaving for the assembly.  She finished her unpacking, getting her knitting out.  She carefully looped a piece of black yarn onto her needle with her teeth and began on a new sweater.

((Yeah, that makes sense.))

 

"I'm Ciel." She mumbled as she got over her sudden defensive anger flash. With her schedule ingrained into her brain so she wouldn't forget anything, she smiled at Gardenia. "Guess we should turn in, huh?"

Feeling a tad guilty about being so short and snippy with the stallion, she attempted what she hoped was a friendly smile. "I guess I'll see you around. Nice meeting you and your...Rabbit."

And with that she turned to head down the hallway leading to her and Gardenia's dorm.

Gardenia nodded at Ciel, turned to face Dust and managed to say, "and... I am Gardenia, hope to see you in class tomorrow." She turned back to Ciel to follow her.

 The stallion waved a farewell. "See ya around..." Dust sighed. He knew he wouldn't have anyone to greet when he got to his dorm. He looked at Coal, who had a slightly annoyed look on his face. Dust chuckled, as this was one of the weirdest things that Coal got mad about. "Yea I know buddy, you're a bunny. How could she not tell the difference?" The sarcasm in Coal's voice was practically overwhelming. His little rodent gave him an angry glare and turned his head. This gave Dust time to think a bit. They seemed nice. That Ciel mare was a little defensive over Gardenia. Then there was that other mare... Dust was talking about Cinder. Cinder had been almost dustier than him, if it was possible. And she looked kind of pretty... Dust found his dorm and went inside. Without a second thought he tossed his saddlebags aside and went to bed.

Ciel shot a smile at Gardenia. "Night." She said softly and pulled back her covers with her magic before snuggling down into bed. She closed her eyes and began drifting to sleep, when she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to write a letter to her mom. Aw, well I guess I'll do it tomorrow. Hope she doesn't get to mad or worried.

I slowly drift to sleep and fall deep into my covers...

I was flying through the light blue sky, but faster than I could bear. My wing is crippled, how was I flying like this? I started going faster and faster and faster, I was smiling the whole way. But then I got to the point where I couldent stop and suddenly, my wing snapped, and dangled below my belly! I stopped slowly when I flinched, I started falling "shiiiiiiiii!!!!" I hit the ground *WHUMP* and I wake up on the floor gasping for breath "wha-wha-wha?" My heart was racing and I was pacing, wondering what the hell this dream meant! I look at Zatiko (who is hopefully sleeping) and leave for the bathroom (I can go in the bathroom right?) holding a pack of cigarettes *to release my stress* I sit in a corner still shaking in fear of what I just dreamt, I pull out a smoke and light it. I blow out a cloud "What am I going to do with myself?" I blow out another cloud of smoke. I stay in there for a while to calm down. After a while I walk to my dorm and wait at the door for a while. And I sit down leaning on the door.

Gardenia returned Ciel's smile and went to her bed. She took off her necklace and placed it inside its box, vowing that she would write a letter to her father tomorrow. She pulled the covers up and fell asleep rather easily. She had always been a heavy sleeper, but the events of the day and the future still should've kept her up a little while. Instead, she just felt rather quite happy, content, even.
