Books And Beds

Umbra sits in a corner with her cloak wrapped around her reading over her flyer trying to think of a landing strategy which causes her to get lost inside her head.

Brook is wearing a long purple nightgown she will move over to Scarlet and begin to unravel her sleeping bag, "Hey settling in okay?" She asks and goes through her scroll a little.

Jayk is pacing around in the stacks, thinking about what they mean by landing strategy.

Brook stares at Brant and if he catches her waves a little. "Oh... my god Scarlet the everyone here..." She says softly indicating everyone is super hot. she will then look over at Jayk. "Hey, you alright?"

"hehe sorry if I surprised you," Umbra says then in a whisper she also says "sure"  Smiling

Brant returns Brook's wave before looking up at Jayk "Mate, no problem has ever been made easier by pacing around... so take a load off and sit down... what's troubling you?" He motions to a free space next to him

Jayk waved to Haze before looking at Brooke and then Brant. "Landin'. I hain't got nothin' to really do it with, 'cept my boots, an' that don't seem to be a right idea." In his striped, one piece jammies, he rummaged in his bag before taking out a large metal tin, reused enough that the pint was faded, tied with strong twine. "Ana-one else feel like a spirit-lifter?" He looked up to include his new acquaintance in the offer.

Scarlet will give Brook an odd look but before she can reply to her she's nearly squeezed to death by Sylvie hugging her, "Urk! Thanks Sylvie. Good to see you too...shouldn't you be in your pajamas?" she says looking at her friend's armour, which while good for protection was surely not comfortable to sleep in.

Sylvie laughs at Scarlet's question, setting the other girl down before reaching out to grab Brook in an equally enthusiastic hug, though she's seen the horned girl more recently than she's seen Scarlet.

"Relax, I'm gonna take the armour off, I just figured it's easier to wear than carry, and I want to be ready to go as soon as we're up. What if they decide to surprise us?"

She sets Brook down too, then gets to setting up her "camp" - unrolling blankets as she snorts and nods at Brook's words.

"Yeah, don't trust a chick with purple hair and an eyepatch on this side," she says to Scarlet, tapping her right cheek to indicate which side Orchid wore her patch. "Not sure if she needs it, but she seemed to think she was hot shit." Sylvie snorts once in amusement and adds, "she was half right," in a malicious tone as she starts to unbuckle her chest and shoulder armour. The short metal gauntlets stay on and she seems exceptionally dexterous with them.

As she talks her eyes are never still - glancing around with a seemingly casual air, those who know what to look for can notice she's sizing everyone up without ever looking directly at anyone but her two friends. She even uses her shiny, shiny armour as a mirror once or twice. People who have grown up trusting those around them probably won't notice. Thieves, bandits, pirates and other ne'er do wells on the other hand, might, if they're paying enough attention.

Umbra gently grabs the cookie from lancetta"well so far everything's been a lot more exciting than at home that's for sure" Umbra says before taking a couple bites out of the cookie.

So many new faces...so many new groups. She gave Jayk a small nod and brief smile in return to his wave, then took in the rest scene quickly and subtly before turning back to snag her things and bring out her own sleeping bag and pillow. While she set up her spot by a nearby post, Haze cataloged each of the people she had seen. 

First, there was the cautious boy not far from her sticking to the sidelines with his interesting scales and a violin at this side. Another boy, having yet to join any of the already formed groups, seemed surprised and overjoyed at the prospect of this overly large sleepover their first night at school. 

Then there were the groups themselves. Jayk seemed to have joined a shirtless, guitar-strumming boy in a chat about landing strategies and she had to admit that the advice given was at least somewhat reassuring. The second group consisted of a cloaked girl and another conspiratorially sharing a cookie and a conversation she couldn't quite overhear at this distance. 

However, it was the last group that really caught Haze's attention. Consisting of a girl name Scarlet, a faunus girl with only one horn, and another girl named Sylvie. The chattered away about an altercation with someone earlier that day. Another prospective student perhaps? Someone with purple hair, an eye-patch, and something of an attitude it would seem. But all the words had fallen away when Haze had caught Sylvie sizing up the rest of the students in a very familiar way.

The ghost of a smirk flashed across her lips for a moment as she brushed a hand down her sleeping bag and slid over to sit on it. Haze leaned her back against the post and turned those silver eyes back to everyone assembled. Her face was neutral once more, not letting on anything she may have gleaned thus far. Now she was simply curious to see how things progressed. Maybe now she would be better equipped if she needed to approach anyone.
