[FFRP] The RP Nexus

[Zoey]

And then a small part of Zoey died as she scrambled to think of a name. "Uh... I'm... Uhh... Claire, pleased to meet you" she said shaking Naru's hand and using the name of her own mother.

[Harri-chan]

Ginny blushed as she was pulled back from the hug, and then frowned a little as she heard Zoey giving Naru a different name. Her blonde pigtails brushed across her back as she looked back and forth between the two girls, blushing. Aside from dropping from age ten to six and her hair turning blonde, Ginny wouldn't look -too- different from the girl Naru knew.

[Alissa of Someday]

The man squints a bit, looking at Charlotte for a moment. He gives her a kind smile and leans closer to whisper to her in a conspiratorial manner. "If you'd like some help adjusting to your new status in life, I can help with that. I'm not a guidance counselor for nothing." He winks and stands upright. "If you'd like to have a friendly chat, I can excuse you from your next class..."

Charlotte blinks up to him, guardedly. She seems to take this in for a long moment, but then nods, convinced by the kindness in his voice.

"Well...I guess that shouldn't be a problem. Alright."

[Ookalf]

*Meanwhile, back at the mall, Sakura pays for Kyu's plushie and steps out of the toy store.* So, would you like anything else?

[Nosnits]

Nora jumps at the sudden slamming of the book, jumping her back to reality. Damn....she saw me... She then goes on to try to discern what's written in the book.

[muffinstud]

The kind man puts a hand between Charlotte's shoulder blades and escorts her down the hall. His hand has a fatherly feel to it. "My name is Phil. I was supposed to have a day off today, but I can see I was needed." He gives her a knowing smile. "How long have you been here in Nexus?"

"Claire, huh? You always this articulate?" Naru grins and ruffles Ginny's hair a bit. "And I take it this little sweetheart is yours? What's your name, cutie?" She leans down to consider Ginny, getting a good look at her.

The page the book is currently on doesn't seem to make much sense. Perhaps something earlier would discuss some of the key phrases being used? Also, one of the guys to the side of Nora (who looks quite dashing, by the way) whispers to his buddy. "...so the Caravan is coming tonight?" "Yeah man. All sorts of magical goodies. Make this class a breeze."

[Nosnits]

Nora's ears perk up at this, and, after checking to make sure the teacher isn't looking right at her, she nervously leans over and whispers. "Uhh...excuse me....what's this you're talking a...about?" to the boys.

[Alissa of Someday]

The girl bristles at the touch, though it was clear enough that he meant well...

"Ah....Well, maybe an hour?"

[muffinstud]

Nora, as she leans over, can get a good look at the young man. He has a rather clean appearance and bright, straight teeth. His face may still look kind of young, but his jaw is shaping up to be sharp and strong. He leans towards her and looks into her eyes with his own, which are quite sparkly and blue. "The Caravan. Travelers that come here every year or so. They trade in magical trinkets and stuff." He gives her a wide smile. "I could take you there, show you around, if you like..."

Phil recoils a bit as they walk and approach the offices. "An hour? And you're already in school, dressed like that? You're one brave cookie!" He guides her into a cozy little office and closes the door behind them. He indicates a seat in front of the clear desk before he sits down in a comfy looking office chair across from it. "Do you mind if I ask what's happened to you so far? And you can use your real name, if it makes you feel more comfortable."

[Alissa of Someday]

The girl reddens slightly.

"I--I was dressed like this when I...changed."

She pauses, and then sits in the chair...somewhat uncomfortably, again.

"And my name is Carl."

[Nosnits]

Nora blushes a bit and backs a way. D..dammit, those stupid boys are...well, he's trying to pick me up...or something like that...dolts She tries to look...well, anywhere but his stupid eyes. "Well....maybe you c..could jst tell me wh...where they are...?"

[muffinstud]

"You're obviously not comfortable with this yet, Carl. Understandable." Phil tents his fingers. "Still, I commend you for being brave enough to try and adjust in as public and unforgiving a place as a high school. I hope you gain some good friends, and fast." He tilts his head. "Could you tell me a little about yourself from before you arrived? I'd like to make you feel more comfortable, but I need to know a bit more about you first."

The boy is about to reply to Nora when the teacher looks down their aisle. He bolts upright to avoid suspicion. Once the cover is clear, he scribbles on a piece of paper and hands it to her. "Talk it over during lunch?" He still has that smile going.

[Nosnits]

Nora doesn't reply. Instead, she quickly snatches the paper from is hand and crumples it in her fist, so the teacher wont see it. She then goes back to reading the text-book, trying not to go cross-eyed, deciding to open the note at the end of class.

[Alissa of Someday]

"Well...What else was I going to do, really?"

She sighs, shaking her head.

"And...I was actually just entering a new school. St. Fantom's Academy."

[Zoey]

"Im sorry, Im just a bit nervious is all" 'Claire' says as she brushes some hair behind her ear.
