Who: Everyone
When: Day 1 – noon
Where: The Auditorium
What: ROUND 1 BEGINS

[Some hours have passed, leaving you time to mingle and explore to your hearts content. However, as the clocks tick over to noon … the bell rings again. And this time, it's followed by the hissing static of an intercom system.]

Ahem! Ahem, is this thing on? Ahh, yes … If all Students and Instructors could kindly make their way to the Auditorium, our first class can begin.

[Those people who are understandably reluctant to follow that instruction may just find their feet moving for them, plodding them into the massive assembly hall. Once they're there, the door slams shut and locks behind them.

… There's nobody there, but the intercom is still on.]

-- Kudo!

[falls into step next to him]

[evenimprobable]

. . . [he frowns, stops, and puts him on the left instead before walking]

What?

[carptricks]

[slips his hands into his pockets an continues walking with him]

You really think you should be heading back alone?

[evenimprobable]

Why not?

[carptricks]

Because I don't want you getting jumped in dark alleyways? Why else?

[evenimprobable]

I'm not going to get jumped in a dark alleyway, Kit.

[carptricks]

. . . look, if those Instructor guys are supposed to be anything like the Ophiuchus team you told me about, then they are gonna be jumping people in dark alleyways.

Metaphorically speaking, but you get the idea.

[evenimprobable]

[he can't help it, he rolls his eyes]

They can jump me on the way back to where we're staying, then, because I have a headache and I want to go lay down.

[carptricks]

[. . . :I]

Fine. I'll walk you back.

[evenimprobable]

. . . you really don't have to.

[carptricks]

S'fine.

[handwave, handwave. he's had three too many teammates jumped and attacked outside of games to be completely okay with letting Drama off on their own]

. . . once you're back, I'll give you some space. If that's what you want.

[evenimprobable]

[gosh Kit he's been attacked in dark alleys before he knows what he's up against.

Though he pauses, and frowns a little]

Weren't you telling me earlier that you were nosy?

[carptricks]

[yes he knows, especially since he's aware of Kudo's little eye problem now. all the more reason to make sure he is not jumped :T!]

Time and a place. I like to think I have some tact.

Some.

[he jokes. . .]

[evenimprobable]

Some.

[he runs a hand through his hair] You'll know when I want space.

[carptricks]

As if you immediately heading off on your own isn't an indicator enough?

[Arches an eyebrow at him]

[evenimprobable]

Does that really count if I was just heading back here?
