Oh Yes, We are Gifted.

"Oh, dont worry, if anything, the bears will give me a ride to the school." Desra smiled to herself as she turned into a cat and bounded off for the school. She should have thought of this before. If she was a cat, she could go much faster. The only problem was, she didnt really like changing in front of people. They always seemed to stare, and it was a little awkward. Of course, when she was already in cat form, it was fine. Everyone who knew her knew it was her though, because there werent many blue and white cats around. She arrived just in time to see Apollo walk to the front doors. She waved to him, and then continued on to stand with the rest of the second years.

"Well, that helped." Blair smiled. "Uh, where exactly do we go?" she asked Lian. She didnt know who he was, but apparently he was a teacher of some sort, which meant he could probubly get them wherever they needed to get.

René stood off to the side of the second year crowd. He hated crowds. He glanced down at himself and frowned. He was still covered in dirt. He started to brush it off when he felt something land on his shoulder. He started, but then just realized that it was a small sparrow. He smiled and ran the tip of his finger along the sparrow's back. He made sure no one was looking at him, then flashed his eyes. {I'm sorry, I don't have anything for you today.} He twittered. The bird tilted it's head. {Are you sure? Will you later? I haven't got anything at all to eat today.} René nodded. {Yes, I'm sure. I'll try to get you some sunflower seeds later. Just come to my room, ok?} The bird tweeted a thanks and took off. Every animal in the place knew where his room was, he so often invited them there. René's eyes turned back to brown and he continued to brush the dirt off his front.

Jerry turned the last page of the papers he was going though, the last page of student details. The bike drove to a stop just in front of a nearby tree, with a perfect view of the school and kids milling about it. Jerry was totally oblivious.

Aie looked at Tai, who was bleeding from the shoulder, and it was a very deep wound. "Taikato, what happened? And take off your cloak for me..." She told, taking out a cloth to wipe off the blood.

Taikato took of his cloak, and rolled up the sleeve, he winced in pain, and it revealed the cut, it went right to the bone.

"Gosh Taikato!" Aie shouted, putting the cloth to the wound. She then closed her eyes, and sang a short, and beautiful song. To that, Tai's wound healed, but the blood didn't. "you'll have to rest for a while, and don't do anything stupid while your at it..." she told, then she turned to Mat. "It's your turn..." she told.

Taikato got up and grabbed his cloak and his luggage, he then went to his room, but he was happy that the pain was gone.

[anarchyheartless]

Mat sighed and rolled her eyes as she began to unwind the bandage on her left wrist. She pulled away the ruler and the last few coils of bandage revealing the sickly purple and skin that was still bruised, on and around her wrist," Broke it." She said with a small sigh," Eevy set it, but the skin hasn't healed yet." Mat explained holding her wrist away from her body, her hand hanging limp from the wrist," Oh, and I can't move my fingers." She added.

"Stand over by the front door." Lian said politely, standing out of the way for them to get out of the carriage. He went to stand by the door to welcome the first years and to walk them through with the procedures and then to hand out the schedules. He then realized he didn't have them and turned to Shinbue," Could you please go get the schedules from the office?" He asked in his offhanded polite voice.

~_~_~_~_~

(*note* only first years need to stay out side for orientation. All other students may report inside to their dorms to drop off anything they have and then go to breakfast )

Art watched as Lian came in and soon after, Vincent left. "Thank you!" He said, nodding to Lian and dragged his wheel bag towards the school. He looked around at all the other students. 'Wow, that's a lot. School's going to be exciting.' He thought as he milled along with the crowd.

Reid drug his suitcase up to the school picking it up with one hand while using his shoulder to open the door. He would just throw his bag on the bed and deal with it later.
His dorm was on the third floor, number 37. Hopefully if things worked out right he wouldn’t have a roommate and he would be able to use the other desk for putting up several more modems. The more memory he could have crammed into one small area the better.

He headed to the left for the stairs climbing up the first flight of them attempting to keep his bag under control as it hit the stairs. One flight down two to go.

He reached the top of the last flight in time watching the other students rush past him. He would be able to do stuff like that if he had two working arms, which he had at one point in his life and he had regained them shortly after. But he had gotten scared, All thoes Sci-Fi movies pointed in one direction and that was machines taking over peoples bodies and other crazy unbelievable crap with poor special effects to support the “scientific” assumption.

He walked down the hall counting the doors until he reached his own, number 37. He set down his bag and pulled out his wallet swiping the card key and opening the door and pushing it open with his shoulder once again.

Placing his wallet down on the counter he then walked back out into the hall grabbing his bag and taking it into the room throwing it onto the bed and staring over at the wall. He was finally back with his precious.

He placed his satchel down on the desk removing the “junker” and sticking it into the drawer. He wouldn’t need that thing for awhile, now that he had the one he kept at school but now was the time to fix his vision problem. He reached into the satchel pulling out his eye again walking over to the mirror and pulling off the eye patch placing the eye gently back into the socket watching it spin around before clicking into place. There now for the final piece of equipment. His wonderful elegant piece of machinery that he referred to as Lady Luck mostly because the skin on the laptop was purple featuring a design that had Yuna from FFX-2 dressed as Lady luck and it of course drew attention to itself. He loved it as if it was his first child.

He slipped it into the bag before flipping on the computer on the desk and shutting the drawer before bolting out the room shutting the door behind him and heading for the office and this time he was taking the elevator.

He pushed the button and stepped inside heading for the floor the office was on, satchel at his side as usual it never left his sight. The elevator doors slid open and he stepped out heading for the office door and pushing it open.


~Why the hell is this chick waving at me?~ Apollo watched her walk by before stuffing his headphones into his ears and muttering to himself turning up the volume as Ethan pulled away parking his bike around behind the school. This was all so stupid, every last bit of it.

The blood pressure monitor was beeping faster again, and this time Apollo couldn’t hear it.

"Yes, of course" Shinbue responded to what Lian told, the then walked away into the school and stopped by the office. "I came to pick up the Scheduals for Lian." Shinbue told to the secretary, smiling.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Aie looked at Mat. "How did you break it?" she asked, grabbing a very smooth hold on Mat's wrist. "It's not too bad, here." And to that, Aie closed her eyes and sung a beautiful melody, and to that Aie's hand in which was holding Mat's wrist began to glow, as the glow faded, it would show if it healed (nows your time to choose if it healed or not! {pping isn't allowed >.>})

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Talon was in his dorm, setting up his stuff that he would always bring, putting tommorow's clothes on the side of his bed, he then heard Taikato walk in, and Taikato putting his stuff on his bed.

"For the first time she didn't make it hurt..." Tai told, shaking his head. "Maybe 'cuse it's my last year..." he thought out loud.

[anarchyheartless]

"I was reaching up and behind my head to get one of my bags 'cause it could have fallen on me," Mat scowled slightly," And when I pulled it down it pulled my wrist the wrong way and it just broke." Mat watched as she sung, and smiled slightly as the skin around her wrist lightened until it was its normal color after the glowing light had subsided. Mat flexed it slight and nodded her head when it was all in order. "I'll get out of your hair now." Mat said with a salute she started walking towards the door, the bandage and the ruler in her right hand.

Lian faced the first years that were around him and figured they were all here. " Welcome everyone to Laurel's Gifted Academy! I am your Dean here, my name's Lian and I would like to be referred to as such. But if the casualness irks anyone, just call me Dean." He said, his smile showing his light humor. " I hope your ride up here wasn't too heinous, I know how the upper classmen can get sometimes." He paused again, wondering if his humour was an ill attempt at getting them to loosen up, he could tell by the large eyes and stiff shoulders that this was a rather nervous experiance. But Lian had been doing the job long enough to know that himself anyway.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

"'Ere they are." The secretary handed over about ten brown packets to Shinbue, " Tell 'im that I put all of the room keys inside so 'e don't have to send the kids in 'ere." She said with her crooked smile, pushing her glasses up her nose.

[ashiko]

René trudged up to his room (#24) on the second floor, swept along in the crowd of people. He slipped out his room key and opened the door, looking around. It was kind of drab. His side of the room had only a (rather large) poster of a cool car he'd like to have. He dumped his bag on the bed and turned around.

"René!" Sparky shouted. He was overjoyed. They weren't best friends, but as long as there was someone to talk to, he was okay.

René inwardly groaned. There was really only one reason that he was roomed with Sparky. And that was because Sparky needed someone to watch him. During the summer, there were less kids there, so the teachers could keep an eye on him better. But during the rest of the school year, there were tons of kids, so the teachers had decided to give him a roommate so he didn't get worked up and set fire to something.

Sparky grinned. "Hey man, how was your summer?" René just shrugged and mimed stabbing something into his head. "That boring, huh?" René nodded. "Hey, let's get something to eat, I'm starving. Plus I was looking for you in the crowd out there. I couldn't find you so I came back here."

The two boys stepped out of their dorm and headed up to the cafeteria for breakfast.

[Icefire]

"Okay thanks!" Blair said, and followed Art. She just sort of stood there, waiting for what would happen next. She smiled as she realized Lian was trying to get the first years to loosen up and not be so nervous, but she herelf wasnt that nervous anyway.

[GIR]

Art listened and thought, "Well, I guess this isn't so bad. He's treating us a bit young though." He almost automatically rubbed his cheek as the Dean mentioned the upperclassmen. 'Not like I can do anything to stop them with my cruddy "powers"' He thought

After she dropped her stuff off, Eevy went back down to the nurses office. She looked around to see if Aie wasn't busy and said "Hey. Did Mat come over? She had a problem on the train. I've been thinking about this since then and I wanna ask if I could get a little help with my healing spells. I've got a weak one, but if something big happens and I can't get help, I want to know what I can do."

[NiaZen]

"Thank you," Shinbue thanked as he took the scheduals. Then he went back out to the yard and handed them to Lian. "Here you be, and the keys are already there so they won't have to go to the office." Shinbue smiled.

Before he went back in, he quickly made a small sculpture of a pheonix, and he handed it to Lian. "Here, take this, it might make you warm." He laughed, and smiled. "I was bored, give it to one of the kids if you want." And to that, he walked inside.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As Mat walked out Aie watched her. "Well, she was being very nice...it's okay, I guess." She smiled. She then noticed that Eevy entered. "Yes, she just left. And help? Well, these songs just came to me, but I'd like to help you." She smiled, sitting down at one of the beds.

[ashiko]

Jerry gave a big yawn and looked up from his papers. Oh, he was at the school. He reached out and grasped the handle of the bike again, and a light green glow flowed from the bike to his hand, de-animating it. He stepped off and left it, it wasn't that important anyway. Most of the kids had gone inside, except a few nervous-looking ones who looked like first years. He grinned and walked over to them, standing at the back of the crowd, so he could talk to the teacher talking to them. Jerry hoped that no one thought he was a student, he'd graduated this place a few years ago, and didn't really want to take the classes over again. So he stood at the back and waited.
