UN: Akhet

[ahew_kha]

I... suppose I should introduce myself if I'm new, right? That'd be the polite thing to do.

My name is Kisara and I'm not that interesting, I promise. I also apologize if we meet in person and my English is a bit... rusty, it's not my first language and I'm still working on some words and phrases that are a little strange when translated. Not that... we don't have anything weird when translated from my native language, too.

With... that out of the way, is there any particular languages that are spoken here frequently other than obviously French and English? I didn't get to travel much before here so I'm always curious about how other countries are?

I'm rambling, sorry. Just wanted to do that introduction and apologize in advance?

[Technically time is about the same for her, but she certainly doesn't know that yet.]

Ah, thank you. It's... really nothing special.

You'd honestly do that? I mean, I need to learn eventually, so I wouldn't want to waste your time or anything... [Sorry, Grimm, this is going to be a continual thing here.]

[soft_focus]

I think if you ask one of the teachers, they know where they are.

I got mine from one of the 'doctors'.

[ahew_kha]

Doctors?

I'll... have to ask one of the teachers then, it shouldn't be too hard. [She does not like the idea of dealing with doctors here, thanks, Reira.]

[shockingblue]

That makes sense, considering we use Arabic numbers pretty much everywhere. If we use that numbering system left-to-right, it'd be logical it originated that way.

[It'd had been something he never really considered, so learning that was something new for him.]

So, what classes are you taking?

[ahew_kha]

Mhmm! There's some other little differences, but that just depends on what area you're in. Egyptian is a lot different from the Arabic spoken in other countries, or so I've heard.

[Oh boy, the classes question.]

I... honestly don't know? I know everyone here has some sort of ability, whether magical or other means, but I don't think I have any of that. That I'm... aware of, anyway?

[fireindreams]

I have plenty of time on my hands, do not worry about that! And yes you will need to learn but it is always useful to have someone to double check something, yes?

[ahew_kha]

I wouldn't... mind that, if it doesn't take away from something you were doing. I do know a bit of English, it's just a bit rusty when it comes to talking. At least I can double check things this way?

[shockingblue]

And that's okay! It can be a lot to choose what you want to take, but it's not all bad. In a way, that also means you're not tied down to one route either. You can look into many different things and see if there's something you like and go with that!

[ahew_kha]

That's... true, I suppose. I don't even know where to start with some of these. I've heard of bits and pieces of magic here and there simply due to the mythology of Egypt itself, but that is probably a lot different than the reality here.

I guess, anyway? I'll... figure something out.

[soft_focus]

Yeah. When I came here, I had to stay in the room where the doctors work for a while.

Then they said I had to stay here on the 'campus'.

[ahew_kha]

Were you sick when you came here or was it some odd precaution? Because now I'm wondering...

[wherenoonegoes]

How are you settling in?

[ahew_kha]

[Oh! There's only one person this can be and she's honestly relieved.]

Well enough? I'm by myself in this dorm but it... seems calm enough so far? A lot of adjusting, but it seems okay.

[soft_focus]

They said I was.

I don't know, I just came out from a place they said was in the Outlands, and had to stay in the sick room a lot.

[ahew_kha]

How odd...

But I guess it can't be helped if they want to make sure you're okay?

[wherenoonegoes]

Yeah, don't worry about needing to adjust. I'm still working on that.

[ahew_kha]

I think I might have a bit of an easier time of it, no offense? [She's not necessarily wrong, in her mind. As far as she knows she's just some teenager, oops.]

Oh! I did want to ask, since I don't... think I have anything special, is there some sort of class or classes I should be doing...?

[soft_focus]

I guess.

They said all those things about staying at the campus though and then everyone left and they said 'you can go to this place if you want it's a vacation'.

The teachers don't make sense sometimes.

[ahew_kha]

A vacation? In a school? I don't... understand? [This poor dumb child is just as oblivious, eesh.]

[marmoron]

why do you apologize so much?

[ahew_kha]

[... Oh. That actually is a good question.]

It's a story I'd rather not tell, but I'll try and work on that, I hadn't noticed it was so much...

[marmoron]

mind your own business. got it.
but you shouldnt have to say sorry if you didn't do anything wrong.

[ahew_kha]

If you apologize, then someone can't really be mad, can they? Or, at least, that's how it seemed to work?

[marmoron]

but you just got here
why would anyone be mad at you?

[ahew_kha]

Getting ahead of it before it starts, as it always does. I don't know why, but it seems everywhere I go someone is mad at me for something.
