Who: All y'all
When: Day 1 – Morning
Where: Everywhere
What: School is in

[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

[Henry. Is so. Bored.]

[He's spent the past day wandering around the small area known as Drama, and probably listening in on several supposedly-private conversations. He's been up for several hours when the bell rings, and he enters the entrance area just in time to hear the door make a noise -- it's gotta be unlocked.]

[Ever the curious cat, Henry slips out the door and begins poking his head into random places. Let's see what else is here, huh?]

[You can find him pretty much anywhere, but do not be surprised if you find him sitting by the edge of the pond, playing with frogs and fish. N'aww, look how cute he is, he almost looks normal.]

[footwork]

[ Hello, stranger, Nishinoya stops right beside him by the pond and points into the water. ]

Did you know if ya kiss a certain type of frog, it turns into a princess? It's 100% true!

[ Only it wasn't, but he sure sounds confident. ]

[anoblecaws]

[Henry makes a loud pfft noise.]

It is not.

[footwork]

... speaking from personal experience?!

[anoblecaws]

Uh-huh! I am an expert at turning things into other things they're not supposed to turn into, and I can tell you with certainty that frog-princess transformation is an acquired skill. You can't just lock lips with a frog and turn them into your personal prince or princess.

[footwork]

[ Under his breath, which isn't really very subtle at all, ] Damn, a frog expert... that's kinda cool!!

[ AHEM ]

You got me! I was just teasin'.

[anoblecaws]

Nya ha ha, no worries!

I'm Henry.

[isolating]

[ ...Marcell has to admit it's been a long time since he's seen someone play with frogs and fish. Well, and wasn't 12 or younger. ]

[anoblecaws]

[Hey, Henry's a kid at heart, okay. ...Well, he's also practically a kid in body too, being seventeen, but details. He notices Marcell and waves.]

Hey, come on over! You wanna say hi to the fish too?

[isolating]

[ Eh, he'd think 17 is adult enough.

But he blinks for a moment; he wasn't really expecting that. ]

...I suppose so.

[anoblecaws]

Come on! They want to meet new friends.

[They're fish in an isolated pond. All these new creatures are very fascinating to them.]

[isolating]

[ It's terrible considering this new friend is contemplating whether he'd really be willing to eat the fishes if it came down to it... ]

Is this normal for you?

[anoblecaws]

[Well, Henry would too, if it came down to that. That's just how the food chain works. Just because you might eat a thing doesn't mean you shouldn't treat it with respect, though! If they give up their life for you, you owe it to them to be nice.]

What, the fish? Sure! I love being in nature, so I play with animals all the time.

[ on the other side of the pond, Sparrow is watching a frog swim with interest, tail swishing and ears perked up ]

They're so small...

[anoblecaws]

Cute, right?

[He asks this before he looks up, and--]

Whoa! You have a tail!

[THAT IS SO AWESOME]

[barrette]

Uh-huh! I bet they could fit in a pocket!

[ tail wag tail wag ]

And I have matching ears to go with it!

[anoblecaws]

Lucky!

[He is now gazing in adoration at your ears and tail.]

Were you born with those? I want some!

[barrette]

[ they are very cute and fluffy ears and a tail ]

I only got them a couple weeks ago. Oh, you can pet them if you'd like to!

[anoblecaws]

[GASP]

[He wastes no time in running around the side of the pond and kneeling down next to her.]

Really?

[ninetyninelives]

[looking over his shoulder]

Frgos! Look at them jump!

[anoblecaws]

Haha, right? Little cuties.

[Henry is happy for the company! He scoots over so that Mao can sit down.]

[ninetyninelives]

[sits!]

I bet they get noisy at night.

[anoblecaws]

I didn't hear them from inside the Drama room. Did you?

[ninetyninelives]

I didn't hear them from inside the mathroom either, but maybe our rooms are too far away.

[anoblecaws]

Oh, you're Math! [He hasn't memorized the colours yet.] Hee hee, I think you're my first one.
