MOVING DAY

[achtenbergmods]

[ the school grounds are swamped with cargo-filled vehicles, and people all around are exchanging teary-eyed goodbyes with family members and lugging heavy bags full of their belongings around. it's going to be a busy day of settling in, newcomers, but you can probably commiserate and help each other bring in your belongings, before relaxing outside with ice cream that the RAs are giving out as a reward for your efforts. fun times! ]

[ Miku's already gotten most of the moving in out of the way, thanks to the help of her parents. she's already said her goodbyes, as well, and possibly cried a little, too. not that she's a crybaby or anything! it's natural to get emotional in situations like this!

anyway, she's now making her final trip to the dorm, guitar carrying case slung over her shoulder and keyboard carrying case in hand. her eyes are a little puffy from the aforementioned crying, but she's all smiles and excitement! now, she'll just put these in her room, and she can get to looking around and meeting people--

ah... wait, was she supposed to turn left here? she's in room 203, but the one in front of her is 145... ]

Oh, geez...

[ not to be so easily disheartened, she turns around and starts walking the other way. she's already made three trips there today, she's sure she remembers the way to her dorm room, even if it's only subconsciously!

... probably!

(somebody please help this obviously lost-looking girl.) ]

[theabsolutebest]

[ Korra let out a hearty huff, dropping off yet another cute girl's luggage in Room 146. She gives them an encouraging nod and a wink, even letting the frightened young girl give her a hug before walking off to find more luggage to haul. After all, what good was it being strong if you couldn't help people?]

Huh.

[Korra sees a sweetlooking girl in front of her. She suddenly has a flashback to her first day lugging her bags around the entire campus before somebody finally turned her in the right direction. She knew she absolutely had to help.]

Hey there. Lost?

[She pulls an arm over her shoulder, shrugging non-chalantly as possible like the super cool sixth year she is.]

I'd love to help you out...

[idoldreams]

O-oh! [ her first personal encounter with a cool upperclassman! this is a major part of her highschool experience! act cool, Miku!! ] Um-- yes, please, thank you!

[glycomics]

[ there's bound to be a few lost students by the dormitories, while she can't really say that she understands the confusion on looking for a room, Bonnibel realizes that some others wouldn't be so fortunate.

It would be terrible of her, an upperclassmen and someone who has already been at the school for quite some time now to just leave them wandering aimlessly with no direction, wouldn't it?

She sees someone with teal colored hair -- she watches the girl, going one way before stopping and then turning to walk in the opposite direction. Oh dear, the poor girl... ]

Excuse me! Can I ask which room you're headed to? I can show you the way.

[greenflower]

[After her big GREET EVERYONE WITH YELLING AND WAVING A FLAG, Madoka had taken to prowling the halls in search of lost students. If there was somewhere other than where everyone being left off where she would find someone in need of a hand, it would be here - looking for their room!]

Aha! Target sighted!

[With a grin and a leap, Madoka dashes down the hall, skidding to a halt just in front of the poor girl. Laughing, Madoka raises herself and gives the girl a good, pat on the shoulders.]

You're lost, aren't you?

[hisses]

Aughh...! Are you kidding?

[[look over to where the angry bellows are coming from, and you'll see one rather peeved looking, make-up caked (what's with that eerie shade of grey?) girl doing a hilarious juggling act. she's not doing the best job, though, as she's dropped one of the large bags onto the ground.

there's a frustrated sigh as she lowers herself to grab the bag, while still holding onto the numerous other ones, as well as a guitar case AND a laptop carrier. apparently, she has no parents or friends around to help her, but she's trying to damndest to make due by herself.]] If I could just see it... Ugh! [[she's blindly reaching for the fallen bag's strap, her vision blocked by the other bags in her possession.

she's in need of assistance. it seems she's so over worked, that her makeup is starting to come off from the sweat!

... that's actually kind of gross. she would understand if you stayed away.]]

[glycomics]

[ Bonnibel, as a student who has been at Achtenberg for now three years, knows and has seen how troublesome moving in can be.

Thus, she's been roaming around the front of the campus helping the moving in, well, move in.

She's kneeling down in front of a fallen student, attempting to pick up their bag. ]

H-Here, let me get this for you... [ Except not really, because with her noodle arms, well, she's actually not that helpful. She's struggling to pick it up ]

[idoldreams]

[ Miku spots the girl from a couple feet away, and instantly dashes over to help her. she's already got most of her own moving in done, after all, and it would be terrible to just leave someone on their own like this! setting her keyboard case on the ground, she crouches down, and picks up the other girl's bag with both arms. it takes some discernible effort, and her legs wobble a little, but she successfully holds the bag out to Marceline all the same. ] Here!

[agelessobsession]

[Oh god, why does everyone look so used to this while she's just... standing there with her two small duffel bags, one per hand.]

[...N-No matter, no matter! She's got a map! She's not even lost, the building Bon...illa? is right in front of her. How do you even pronounce that, is it like "Bone-illa" or "Bo-knee-la"?]

[...Well, that is a mystery for another day, it's time to go upstairs and find room 201. It's a simple number, it shouldn't be hard to find at all.]

Let's see here...

[ladyknightofwystern]

[At the foot of the stairs you find a redhead with a small refrigerator, a microwave, and three suitcases all strapped to a wheeled luggage carriage. If you're quick, you might catch a look of dawning horror on her face before she spots you and puts on a friendly smile.]

Hey! Is this your building too? Do you know where the elevator is?

[idoldreams]

[ oh, this person looks kind of lost! Miku's instincts dictate she should go and help her... even if she doesn't know her way around campus that well herself yet. ]

Excuse me! Do you need any help?

[greenflower]

[Arms crossed, Madoka is giving the girl a great deal of scrutiny, making "hmmmm" and "hoooo" noises as she watches her. Finally, after a great deal of thought, she nods to herself and gives the girl a hearty slap on the back!]

Heya! Still learning how to read English?

[listenorbeshot]

Excuse me, I mean... hello there I uh, can I get I some help, anyone?

[Have a extremely lost first year looking around, trying to find her way in with little success. She's got a pair of really big looking suitcases which stands to reason the little girl had dragged it all the way there.]

[partyhardpony]

Oh absolutely! Help is my middle name, well my middle-middle name as in it comes in the middle of my middle name, right between the syllables. What do you need?

[Instead of a suitcase, Pinkie Pie's got this red wagon filled with what seems to be random junk, like kites and vuvuzelas and a very lifelike stuffed alligator.]

[greenflower]

You bet you can! Just leave it to the Jersey Club!

[which is... pretty much just Madoka here, but who cares about the small stuff? she's grinning and more than eager to get both of those.]

First year?

[theabsolutebest]

[Korra, seeing that her job is done, and really needing a sugar mood boost, goes to the courtyard for some well-deserved ice cream, and to socialize with some of the other students. The ice cream she receives immediately alleviates her mood, but every time she starts thinking about another year with a freshman, she starts getting depressed.]

Sigh... [She enunciates loudly. Anybody else up for an ice cream pity party?]

[queenofthebeam]

Having dumped her stuff in her room and said goodbye to her dad, Lauren went outside and got some ice cream. Although she can eat whatever she liked now, she still wasn't sure about it, so she just held onto it for now.

She approached one of the other girls who also had ice cream. "This is just like camp, only for longer." She sounded excited about it, taking no notice of the other girl's expression.

[greenflower]

HEEEEE-YOOOOOOO! Welcome back to school, everybody!

[to those of you who are coming to Achtenberg for the first time, you'll be greeted with the odd sight of a girl, clad in orange jersey and short hair pulled up in a frontal ponytail, standing on top of some boxes piled on top of each other. she's got a wide smile on her face, and in her hands she's waving a flag reading WELCOME back and forth.

to those of you who aren't coming for the first time, you'll recognize this girl as Madoka Kyouno, infamous leader (and only member of) the "Jersey Club," a group which basically exists to help anyone on campus (or around town) do... pretty much anything that requires needing help. so this kind of thing isn't that uncommon a sight, if you've heard of the girl, but then again-- seeing is believing, right?

oh, and now she's approaching you. what do?]

Hi there! Have a good summer?

[theabsolutebest]

[[Korra is taken aback for a moment at the hyper young female. She's never seen anyone so excited to start a school year.]]

Well, hey there, Madoka...right? Thanks for helping me find my Lucky ball last year.

[[She smiles thinking on the memory. The two searched everywhere before finally finding it under her old roommate's bed.]]

The summer was okay. Way too hot for my tastes. The sun is *evil*. [[She shudders.]] How was yours?

[ladyknightofwystern]

[Adventure time! Now that she's all moved in, Sanary sets off on a walk around the campus. It's a good idea to learn where everything is as quickly as possible, right?

...Oh my God, it's all so green. There is actually more grass than pavement. A lot more grass. Is it okay to walk on it? It must be, right? Since you'd have to to get to the athletic fields?

No one seems to be looking. Maybe she'll take her shoes off and just sort of... wriggle her toes in it a little...]

[greenflower]

Hi!

[SUDDENLY, MADOKA]

All settled in?

[idoldreams]

[ Miku notices Sanary a few feet from behind. what's that girl doing all alone? is she lost? she should try and help her, even if she doesn't know her way around campus that well herself yet... at the very least, they could look for an upperclassman who could help together!

... wait, what's she doing...? maybe Miku could get a better look if she moved a little closer...

...

... so yeah, Sanary, hope you don't mind one curious Miku peering over your shoulder from behind. :') ]

[halfthebird]

[So whether you were aware of it or not, moving-in student, someone's been following you.

Someone who's already fetched her ice cream cone, so careful not to stop too suddenly! Or else it might end up all down the back of your shirt....]

[agelessobsession]

[She got her ice cream but someone is following her.]

[Someone is definitely following her.]

[Should she cross the street? That's what you do when someone's follothere are no streets this is a campus.]



[Care...fully... and slowly... she looks over her shoulder.]

[idoldreams]

[ Miku is as oblivious as she is to anything, cheerfully humming some popular earworm or another to herself as she licks away at her ice cream.

and okay, let's be honest, she probably wouldn't notice you behind her unless you were literally breathing down her neck. ]
