The sullen-looking boy that appeared at the school's gates was a far cry from the motivated and bright individual that the instructors had perhaps been expecting. Loud music blasted from his earbuds; what it was, exactly, could not be determined, but the occasional profanity slipped out. A thin windbreaker was unzipped, revealing a slightly stained grey shirt, giving way to a pair of cargo pants.
He was, in short, very obviously not the sort of child who should be attending a "school of rulership".
A heavy travel-case lay by his side as he waited, bobbing his head slightly to the music. Noticing Kieran, he gave him a short nod of acknowledgement, before removing his earbud and pausing the music.
"Morn'." he mumbled. "Where the hell is everyone else?"
Charlotte "Charlie" Northam
With a slight huff, Celina would find another pupil setting down her case by her, and sitting down on it. Long, well-brushed blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and a strange flag sown on her seemingly-expensive parka's sleeve marked her as a foreigner as well.
She was also very obviously wealthy; her clothing seemed to be well-made and clean, while on her wrist was a watch - the brand wouldn't be familiar to Celina, but it was still a very high-quality mechanical watch.
But after that, everything fell apart. Her eyes seemed to droop with exhaustion, and she was slouching hard. Every part of her seemed calibrated to use the mininum amount of energy needed to just barely, sort of function.
"...'Ello." the girl said, looking up at Celina, finally. She laid down and moved her case up, using it as a makeshift headrest. "Name's Charlie. Charlotte Northam. Call me Charlie. You get punted in by your parents too?"

I looked a the blonde, her long hair quite luxurious - the flag caught my interest for but a moment, until she introduced herself.
Charlotte Northam, eh?
"Pleasure to meet you, Charlie. I'm Celina Scian of the Tribe of Fermanagh, but please, just call me Cel.", I introduced myself, giving a slight bow. "And yes, something like that... my Father sent me here to collect experience abroad. Honestly, sent me to a Teressian Boarding School or a military academy in the Commonwealth, at least I would speak the blasted language..."
I noticedhow exhausted she seemed.
"You alright there?", I asked.
Kieran Sloroimh of the Tribe of Louth.
Pulling back my own headphones, I shrugged.
"I have no clue.", I admitted without shame, then nodded in the general direction of the two girls conversing. "Those two are here, the Silverhead is a Selkie, too, so I guess, that we are in the right spot." I let a few beats pass. "What music are you listening to?"

Alenberg wrote:"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Charlie yawned. "Horrible flight on the way in. I'm going to collapse once the day's out. Good to meet you too though, Cel...as for Teressien I can't say a thing, nor can I...which Commonwealth we talking about here, actually? Think I know which one you mean, but..."
"I have no clue what to call it." Alcott replied. "Generally I listen to a bit of everything. No particular preference, except fuck baroque. Pa listens to that shit constantly, nothing else, and it drives me up a damned wall. Anyway, name's Alcott. I'm from America. You?"

"The Polish-Prussian one.", I replied and hopefully confirmed her suspicions. "I speak German in three variants, should be of some use there."
I sighed.
"But, well... here we are.", I looked at Charlie, "To be honest, their entrance forms were... screwed up." I shook my head. "Anyway... I want to join the Navy anyway, so maybe a taste of that would have been interesting."
Kieran Sloroimh of the Tribe of Louth.
"Kieran, from the Free Lands of the Selkie - and I agree.", I told Alcott, "If you like classical, you can like it all you want, but please far away from me... or with headphones."
I let a beat pass.
"Hey, wanna meet up later and listen to music? I have my laptop and my speakers along for the ride, though they should be in the dorms.", I said and grinned, "And I am sure, that I have a cable for your device along as well."

"Ahhh. Yeah, the Prussian-Polish Commonwealth...I have a friend from there. She says the military schools are absolutely brutal. I dunno. They're not for me, I think. I study architecture and history. Or at least, did." She grimanced. "Not sure why my parents decided to pull me out and put me here...and yeah. Why ask for orientation on an entrance form?"
At the mention of the Navy, Charlie perked up. "Oh? Which one? Where you from? I'm from Bayerland."
Alcott Cherbourg-Stanton
"Selkie? Nice." Alcott smiled. "And Kieran...real aesthetic name there. Can't place it...nevermind. I'd love to hang around. I brought my laptop and flash drive too, got a lot more music on that...say, why are you here, by the way?"

Charlotte's eyes lit up at those words. "Niiiice. I did a semester there once with a friend. Good place. Would live there. And same, I guess. Just get through it and done with, aye?"
Alcott Cherbourg-Stanton
"...Same, really." Alcott admitted. "Pa owns a hedge fund and wants me to go in the business too. I'm not for it. Mum works on aircraft and that's far more interesting. But what can you do, eh? Just gotta roll with it. He thinks that this place will help me manage his hedge fund thing. I doubt it, but we'll see."

His tobacco brown desert boots contrasted with his white linen pants. He played with a large golden watch. All these western clothes were new to him, and he wasn't exactly comfortable in them, but he was assured that they would help him to fit in.
Patti Hun Su, looked around nervously, be fore strolling over to the other students, whom he greeted. "Hello! I am Su Bey. What is your name?" Just like his tutor had taught him. His accent was heavy and he spoke slowly.

...the bell rang.
"Right, first lesson at the new school. I got History.", I said and grinned at Charlie and Cubey or Subey or however he was pronounced. I got moving towards the classroom, noticing a few others getting a move on as well. "This is going to be one ride..."
I hoped, that Charlie would have History, too.

"Indeed we will...", I said, then my head whipped around to Alcott, "Really? Yer Mam works for a plane manufacturer? That's cool. One of my uncles flies for an airline - one of these big amphibians you sometimes see on TV when there is a forest fire, only equipped for passengers."
I shrugged.
"He took me in the cockpit once, but there were far too many dials and buttons and everything for my taste.", I added.

She then fired up a text editor, before waiting and opening a packet of cake, wolfing it down, and then pulling out the straw of the juicebox and punctering it, before taking a sip.
She glanced over at Cell, and caught her attention. "Oi, Cel, 'ave a nosh." she said, before offering her a packet.
Alcott Stantion
"Ah, a flying boat!" Alcott's eyes lit up. "Yeah, those are real cool. Was it a turboprop or a jet?"
Before he could continue, the bell rang, and Alcott suddenly realized he wasn't exactly sure where to go.
"Ey, Kieran- where should we go?" he asked.
Vana Ptang wrote:Patti Hun Su was puzzled by the informal greeting and the word laddo. He assumed it must be sone honorific, but was already prepared to forgive Celina any lack of respect. Any way with the bell ringing and classes starting, he didn't have time to think it over. Not familiar with the concept of a bell, his reaction was delayed. Not knowing where to go, he followed the others into their history class.

Laddo, as a form of Laddie, was not meant as an insult.
That being said, he followed me and Charlie to the classroom, where Charlie and I found each other close to each other. Just as I had pulled out my own notebook and writing utensils, I became aware of Charlie holding out some sort of packaged small cake.
"Oi, Cel, 'ave a nosh.", she offered it to me.
"Oh, thanks.", I said and took one, opening the package. "Come break, I have something for you to try!"
Kieran Sloroimh of the Tribe of Louth.
"History.", I replied to Alcott, "I guess, we are in the same class... and if not, we will be told soon enough." I shrugged and got into motion, my new friend (hopefully) on my tail. "Turbofan, so jet engine. Three-spool high bypass turbofan engine with FADEC and a few other neat things."

The Bayerlander nodded as she dug in to her breakfast. "Thanks. Fish and chips tastes good but it gets old real fast."
The muffled sound of eating, followed by the slurp of a juicebox being emptied, rang through the empty classroom, as Charlie finished the last of her breakfast and waited, now noticably more awake.
Cel would find a small custard pastry within the package. Probably too sweet to be a healthy breakfast, but food was food.
Alcott
"Damn!" Alcott's eyes lit up as he followed. "That's really cool. Genuinely. I envy you."
As soon as they arrived in the classroom, Alcott took a seat, with an empty one to his right, obviously intending for Kieran to sit next to him.

Breaking away from the rest of her family while they tried to restrain Nura, Hussaina entered the History classroom. Hearing the teacher’s question, she rose her hand and answered, “The Great Arab Revolt occurred because the Arabs feared a Zionist takeover of our beloved Palestine, the British promised the Arabs their own United country, and the Ottomans were failing to meet the needs of the people of the Levant and the Hejaz.”
