Jun 29 23:51:45 <Knave>	Piled high by the entrance of Andromeda Hall was a stack of old-fashioned trunks, but clearly quite newly-made from the pristine maroon finish, all sizes and dimensions piled up together almost-neatly, and each one monogrammed E.E. in gold. Standing next to them, radiating indignity in his folded arms and sneer, is a young man. You could tell he was a young man and not a boy by the long trousers of his suit, a deep red
Jun 29 23:51:45 <Knave>	matching his luggage and of an old European cut. His hair, vibrant ginger, was tied back with a boy to a shoulder-length ponytail, but the frizz of it looked like it wanted to burst free. Altogether, he looked like he'd dressed in a hurry for the creative anachronism fair.
Jun 29 23:57:32 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy Strauss was a normal gal, just setting fire to couches, or busying herself with plotting revenge against the canadian geese that chased her for thirty minutes straight the other day. Yes. Normal. Her long black hair pulled into curled pigtails, wearing a bright red dress that went to her knees, however it was covered in ash and general stains that indicated her close relationship
Jun 29 23:57:32 <SavanahHolland>	with fire. Paired off with her leather jacket and simple black shoes, it seemed like all she needed was a metal bat and she'd belong in some kind of gang. She is mostly wandering at this point, however then noticing this new student, blinking and just kinda staring more like a complete jackass.. one of the things he may notice about her, is not her dress, her hair, or even her creepy
Jun 29 23:57:32 <SavanahHolland>	staring, rather her strange eyes. Mostly a pleasant deep midnight blue, however on the left size, her iris is partly red.. not like normal cases of two different eye colors on one person..
Jun 30 00:04:20 <Knave>	Emmett takes notice of the girl staring at him, and the aura of irritation around him intensifies. He steps up smartly to her, arms swishing behind his back and sneer clearing to a look of examination as he straightens up to his full height - not impressive, but it shows how much he must have been slouching. "Interesting case of heterochromia." He says, apparently to himself, as he inspects her, "Obvious signs of
Jun 30 00:04:20 <Knave>	interaction with fire." For good measure, he pulls the bulky science-goggles down from his forehead over his eyes, obscuring them as he looks her up and down, "Perhaps a pyromaniac? Or in fact... the word... pyromancer?" He tilts his head, smiling a small self-satisfied smile, rat-like with is front teeth showing, "This is the Fifth Sanctum, is it not?"
Jun 30 00:24:21 <SavanahHolland>	His height was at least somewhat impressive next to Wendy, the girl being average height for someone her age and sex, standing at 5'4. She looks up at him, a little irritation on her expression as well.. mostly because of his dumb fucking smile and his dumb fucking words, even if they were smart Wendy otherwise wouldn't be convinced. "Not your damn business." she says, smirking back as
Jun 30 00:24:21 <SavanahHolland>	if she somehow one upped him.. "Yeah, Fifth Sanctum, school for the fucked up kids like you and me it seems." she offers her hand "Wendy Strauss, you're new yeah?"
Jun 30 00:32:21 <Knave>	The smile turns into a hard, thin line, and he gives a humourless "Indeed." He offers a gloved hand from behind his back stiffly, "I am Emmett Walter Montgomery Percival Epstein." His English was grammatically flawless, and had little accent other than the fact that words ending in "ing" ended about half a syllable too soon, but every syllable of his name drips with evidence of growing up German. Bavarian, if Wendy has any ear for German accents.
Jun 30 00:35:19 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy sadly doesn't, mostly because she's a complete and total idiot, but that's besides the point. Wendy's voice had a very faint new york accent.. something you wouldn't really notice unless someone brought it up, though she did have German roots.. even if she didn't really grow up that way. Wendy's handshake is strong and short, something you'd expect from the girl that looks like
Jun 30 00:35:19 <SavanahHolland>	she could probably punch you into a blob of flesh if you pissed her off. "Nice to meetcha." she says with a soft shrug after shaking his hand "Aaam I allowed to just call you Emmett.. I can't reaaally remember that much."
Jun 30 00:40:14 <Knave>	"Emmett will be satisfactory, yes." He says with a slightly distracted air as he returns his hand to its position behind his back. "Strauss..." He rolls the word over in his mouth, "I don't suppose your family have roots in Germany, perhaps? Austria?" He barely gives her a moment to answer before carrying on, "Of course, the accent hints you are native to the colonies. Perhaps you are not in touch with your roots across
Jun 30 00:40:14 <Knave>	the Atlantic." The faint smile returns. He gives the impression of someone who enjoys hearing themselves prattle on.
Jun 30 00:43:36 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy seems confused, her eyes trying to follow him but even they fail as much as her mind does.. "U-uh I think my dad..?" she half mumbles, not really sure.. her dad was blonde.. and he did probably mention it once or twice when she was really young.. "C-colonies..?" Wendy asks, still confused.. this was the girl that thinks Scott Pilgrim founded America.. be gentle Emmett..
Jun 30 00:48:47 <Knave>	He stands still for a few moments, eyes hidden behind his goggles, smile twisting upwards without really spreading. "A pleasure to meet you, Wendy." He turns and takes steps back towards his luggage, still talking as he finds that generally makes people follow him, "I am sure you will make me feel perfectly at home here, and that ve shall become good friends. I trust you know who is who and what is what around here?" The
Jun 30 00:48:47 <Knave>	pace of his speech has a restrained quality to it, like he's slowing down for her benefit.
Jun 30 00:51:30 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy was actually really really trying to understand what he was saying.. and sorta succeeding it seems, offering him a bright yet.. really confused smile. "I- I guess..? Yeaaaah? Sorry I'm kinda fuckin dumb so yeah." she shrugs and sighs again
Jun 30 00:51:40 <SavanahHolland>	"Need help with your bags?" she asks finally.
Jun 30 00:54:41 <Knave>	"Nonsense." He says as he busies himself moving his trunks around, "You are not dumb, I am sure." It might have sounded nice in a warmer tone. Perhaps he was unused to speaking in English? Emmett slides a trunk across the floor towards Wendy, "Help vould be delightful. Thank you."
Jun 30 00:56:45 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy picks it up gently, holding it in her arms like it was absolutely nothing at all.. kinda unexpected from this girl who looked like a stick figure that just dressed tough as hell. "I guess? I've been called dumb a lot.. also a bitch, a crazy bitch, a slut, just plain crazy, yadda yadda you get the idea."
Jun 30 00:59:55 <Knave>	"Indeed." Emmett says with a sympathetic venom, hefting up one of the smaller trunks, "It is cruel what children will call one another." The way his legs shake like jelly as he begins to lead her towards his room would make an onlooker think he /hadn't/ rigged it so Wendy would take the heaviest chest and he the lightest. "I find it is best to ignore such children."
Jun 30 01:06:11 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy shrugged again, just carrying it with ease, she'd throw it around a lil if she wasn't scared it might be filled with glass or something, who knows with this guy. "I mean most the people that call me that stuff tend to be older, and kinda hard to ignore when its paired with getting a nasty purple shiner right in the eye, make up tends to fix that right up though."
Jun 30 01:11:04 <Knave>	Emmett grimaced, either under the weight or at memories of his recent past. Fortunately for him, he'd never been hit - at least not in any fight he didn't start. "Ah yes. Ignorance can be a luxury. Bliss is valuable." His speech gets faster and more mumbly as he goes, "Proverbs of commodity and equity often hold true, value is value. Yes." He looks up and seems to remember Wendy is there, "Condolences to hear of your difficulties."
Jun 30 01:13:22 <SavanahHolland>	"Eh, I deal with it.. also you alright? Gettin mumbly there kiddo." Wendy says.. mostly because he's shorter than her.. if not by a lot it he still /was/ shorter than her afterall! "Your room comin up soon?" she asks in a half mumble, getting annoyed with carrying his trunk at this point.
Jun 30 01:15:12 <Knave>	"I think around here..." He says, ignoring her previous comments, "Ah, yes, this vould be it." He sets the trunk he's carrying carefully down by a dorm room door. "Danke schoen for carrying my things. Do be careful as you put them down, please."
Jun 30 01:16:25 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy does just that, gently setting them down on the ground. "No problem, want me to leave ya alone now?" she laughs "You probably need to unpack 'n shit."
Jun 30 01:17:32 <Knave>	"Yes, I'm sure I would like to... settle." He moves up his goggles and eyes his luggage. "Thank you again, Miss Strauss. I am sure we will become friends in the fullness of time."
Jun 30 01:18:38 <SavanahHolland>	Wendy gives him a wave, and he feels a nice feeling in his chest briefly, something that makes joy seem to bubble in his veins, warm all over before disappearing completely one the girl is gone, intresting.
Jun 30 01:20:41 <Knave>	"Anomalous activity manifesting in momentary imbalance of the humours, upset of the psyche..." He mumbles to himself after a moment once she's gone, getting faster and quieter as he sets about taking his cases inside. He certainly hadn't blushed at the feeling, and if he did it certainly wasn't his fault.
