Phantom Academy: An Education for the End of the World

[Raleigh]

"Do you need any help there Amy?" Sandra is already looking through her pack for her clothes to sort them out before placing them in her chest.

[Haylie]

"Not at the moment. Thank you, though."

Her travel pack is a small pink backpack that looks like it can hold one change of clothes and a water bottle.

"I wonder where Cerie can sleep..."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Cerie?" Chione was busy settling her own clothes into the trunk. There were a few other interesting looking stuffed toys and what not in the suitcase, and what was burying under possessions but what could be the hilt of a sword.... "You got a pet? Aw, what kind?" The kind of pet Chione would love to have really wouldn't be realistic, unfortunately.

[Alissa of Someday]

"Not much to the rooms, not that I need much." Noah says. "All in all, not bad."

/Carl looks it over./

"I'm a bit surprised, actually. After the way that teacher was going on, this is a lot better then I was expecting..."

/Entering the room, he takes off his pack./

"Do you mind if I use this table for a bit?"

[Haylie]

"He's a Holy Retriever. Sort of like a Golden Retriever, but... holy. A very smart breed, and he's so cute for his age..."

Amy smiles, remembering her faithful companion from up above. She takes off her backpack and just drops it into her trunk, then takes a water bottle out from it, taking a quick sip. She holds it out to her two companions.

"Want any? I have plenty."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Aw, I can't wait to meet him! Where is he now?" Chione asked. She accepted one of the offered water bottles. "Thank you. I think I've got a package of cookies in my suitcase here, somewhere, if anyone's hungry...." She dug into her bag, a few more bits of fantasy paraphernalia bouncing about her as she did so.

[Shadowmaster]

Noah shakes his head. "Go right ahead. I shouldn't be needing it." he says.

[Alissa of Someday]

"Alright--thank you."

/Sitting at the table, he took off his pack, considering for a moment where they would be sleeping, before letting it go, for the time being, and turning back to Noah as he takes out a small thing of sculptor's clay, carefully positioning it./

"So... how did you find your way here then? Kind of a strange place, isn't it?"

[Raleigh]

"No thanks on the food and water." She puts away her possessions and then pulls out a rather thick tome written in Sanskrit. "I've got some reading to catch up on." She finds a nice corner and begins to read the book.

[Haylie]

"He's back home right now, but you should meet him tomorrow. He's really friendly. And I would love a cookie, thank you!"

The prospect of a free cookie excites her. She removes another water bottle from her pack and takes a quick drink, then addresses the reader.

"Are you sure?"

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Of course! I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't sure, right?" Chione dug through her suitcase a minute longer. "Ah-hah! Success! I knew it was in here!" The cookie package rustled with a small crackle as she opened it. "Chocolate chip good by you? How many do you want?" She figured it was easier to just take them out and hand them to the other girl, than to try to make the poor thing fumble for the package on her own.

[Haylie]

(Amy was actually speaking it Raleigh's character whose name escapes me)

"Yeah, chocolate chip is my favorite! Just one or two is fine."

She holds one hand out, maybe a bit left of center, but more or less between them both.

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Ah, we have something in common then. This bodes well for the future," Chione replied with a bit of a grin. She extracted two cookies from the package and placed them in the girl's extended hand. "There you go. If you want more, just holler. I'll leave the package out." She put it down between them with a rustle of packaging.

[Haylie]

Amy hungrily takes a bite out of one of the cookies, holding the other in her free hand. Her cane is laying beside her on the floor. Her head turns toward the package, and to make sure that's where it was, she touches it with one finger.

"Mm. Thanks so much. I haven't had one of these for so long..."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"We can fix that readily enough. Consider that package communal. Either of you girls can feel free to help yourself." Chione packed some of her clothes into her trunk. "As far as I know we can get mail here, so Dad can keep me supplied with a steady stash. He knows how much I love these things."
