Fourth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco decided to welcome all the new students in the true Fandom fashion: shock value. So there is an anteater sitting there, watching television. The remote control? Is hidden, as well Marco's clothes because he likes the first Fatal Rock Die Hard and doesn't like running around in underwear. There's also a bowl of popcorn, though any other food would have to be found in the kitchen.

[Open like a common room that is open.]

Karal was not a new student. This did not make finding a fuzzy long-nosed creature, apparently watching televisions, any less of a shock.

He paused at the door, watching warily, then slowly made his way inside. "Hello?" he said hesitantly, remembering the tales of transforming students.

The anteater looked up from the movie and waved a paw.

Karal waved back automatically, stopped, stared at his hand, then shook his head and came a little closer, stopping near the whatever it was (Karse had a distinct lack of anteaters). The waving at least solved the 'is it actually an animal?' question. "I have no idea if I have met you, but my name is Karal," he said with a tentative smile. "Are you one of the people who arrived today?"

"Hey Man." Billy waved. "This happens all the time really."

Karal blinked at the odd form of address, but smiled and inclined his head in agreement. "Yes, I am beginning to learn that things I find strange are very common here." He glanced at the creature for a moment. "I do not believe we have met? I am Karal, from Karse."

"Karal," Setsuna greeted him with a nod once she spotted him in the room. "I was thinking of making some tea; would you like some? I do believe I owe you a few cups."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Setsuna, hello!" Karal was always happy to see her, and he smiled and nodded. "A cup of tea would be wonderful, thank you. How was your work today?"

Billy had been out in the preserve all day, and was now ready to veg a bit. "New Student or transformed student?" he asked nonchalantly.

Marco did a 90 degree turn so he could look at Billy and akwardly waved a paw.

Billy waved back, and figured whoever it was possibly couldn't speak Human, so he just got some water from the fridge and settled down in his usual chair. "So, what's on?"

Johnny was a new student, but one with a fairly odd upbringing. His first thought on seeing an anteater on the couch was to wonder what kind of person would keep that as a pet, and how much it would shed, and where you'd get the ants to feed.

Seeing as there was a Fatal Rock movie on TV, he grabbed a chair, kicked up his feet, and tried to figure out how far into the movie they were.

Fatal Rock was his Dad's favourite Christmas movie, and seeing it made him think of the holidays.

Marco was a little disappointed to get not much of a reaction from the new student so he made his way over and used his nose to poke at Johny.

Johnny felt the anteater poke his leg, and reached over to give it a scritch under the chin. It seemed friendly

"Y'want something, little guy?" he asked.

Karal tore his attention away from long-nosed and fuzzy to greet the new arrival. "Hello," he said, a bit shyly. "My name is Karal. Are you one of the new students?"

[flamingbonehead.livejournal.com]

Johnny gave a smile back to the shy guy. "I am indeed new. Guess it shows, huh? Johnny Blaze," he said, offering his hand.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you one of the new students?" Billy waved to the kid.

[flamingbonehead.livejournal.com]

"I am," he said, waving back. "Johnny Blaze. Nice t'meet you."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. There was someone Setsuna was fairly certain was new. She gave the boy a small nod and a "Hello" before reaching into the cupboard for her kettle. "Would you like some tea? I was thinking of making some."

[flamingbonehead.livejournal.com]

"I'd love some tea," he said, giving a wave back. "What kindja got?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka smiled and waved at the new kid. "Hi," he said, with his mouth full of popcorn.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna came into the common room to get something to drink and for the off chance of running into some of the new kids she missed while she was at work, and then stopped to blink at the anteater sitting on the sofa.

She blinked, then shook her head. "Assuming you're who I think you are, nice choice. Very unique."

< Thanks! I figured the students would need a good intro to life here in Fandom! > Marco replied cheerfully.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka came into the common room with a "DUUUUUDE!" and vaulted onto the couch.

He had sat there, watching the movie and munching popcorn, for a few minutes before he even noticed the anteater. "Whoa, that's gotta suck," he said to Marco. "You're not a new kid, are you?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal, startled, gaped at him. "Good evening," he ventured after a minute or two. "I don't believe we've actually met?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco was very amused by the fact that Sokka hadn't noticed the anteater and shook his head, making his nose wobble.
