Hey, newbie here with four (4) questions! I'll try to make this short and sweet.

1.) What's the top 5 books in the library that you absolutely have to have read?
2.) How much does the STAR Club actually work with Runes in practice?
3.) Best free time places in Soleil? I'm fresh from the USA, France is all new for me.
4.) Any recently enrolled undergraduates up for a study group kind of thing? Can totally be casual and involve nice cafés etc. I figure I'm not the only one who came here from half the world away and needs to meet new people.

1. The Field Guide to Uncommonly Beautiful Common Supernatural Phenomena in the Outlands, History of Godzilla: The Ultimate Stomping Ground Reference Material, The Martian Chronicles, Runic Basics for Everyday Use, and Outland Zoology for Beginners. Definitely!
2. No idea on this one!
3. I've only been here about...six weeks? So I don't know about the very best ones, but there's a good sushi place, the movie theater is fun, and I've heard good things about the amusement park!
4. I'd love to get into a study group!
5. Welcome to Daybreak! I'm Orihime, I've lived in France for about three years now.

Thanks for all the answers ;) I'll make sure to check out the books later today.

Which country did you come from, Orihime?

I hope you like them! I don't really know what your reading preferences are. Do you like fiction or non-fiction better?

I'm from Japan originally! Don't worry, my English is pretty good. I'm just a bit rusty at speaking it out loud. Your name is Griffin? That's so cool!

[onebetter]

How is going to a supernatural school on another continent not adventure enough for you yet?

[marmoron]

Doesn't count. You were always expecting to attend this place weren't you?
It's not an adventure if it was part of the plan.

Is this a threat?


Google translate makes it sound like one.

[onebetter]

I never left Arizona before, does it really matter if I was expecting it or not?

Travel brochures aren't exactly top preparation.

[yokeye]

ごめんなさい！
これはあなたのためではありませんでした！

[onebetter]

Oh, I see.

Wait.

4 - im almost done with high school so not an undergrad, but id like some help studying the weird magic things & math

[transfusionem]

1. I haven't really gotten a chance to look at the library so I can't help you with this. I imagine there's more books about magic than I could imagine.
2. Also can't help here, sorry.
3. I saw a few cute little cafes in Soleil that might be a good place to people watch!
4. I'd love a study group! All of this is really new to me and it's kind of overwhelming.

[onebetter]

I tend to read non-fiction because it helps with studies, but a well-written fiction book is nothing to sneeze at.

Japan? That's pretty far, too. We're really from all over.

And yep, it is ;) You can also call me James though.

[marmoron]

yeah you daredevil you.
reading travel brochures

[ At this point James looks up from his phone to seek eye contact with Keith just so his exasperated expression can be seen. And then he goes back to texting because Keith started this and this is what they're doing now, apparently. ]

I wasn't referring to the brochure part, Keith.

[You might have to check the profile to realize this is actually Admiral Wen-li Yang, because Yang is using a less-than-professional user name. He is the best at being an adult.]

Oh, hello, James! Glad you arrived.

I'll let the other students answer your questions. How was the flight over?

[onebetter]

What's the bar called?

And sure, you're welcome to come join us! I've done tutoring before and you might get a headstart into college things while you're at it :)

[leekspins]

Ha ha, yes! Please don't sneeze on the books!

It's nice to meet you, James. What kind of powers do you have? I'm a healer, so please don't hesitate to contact me when you get injured.

[onebetter]

Isn't it? I've wanted to go here all my life and I'm still a little lost now.

The school is amazing but coming here right from a mundane life is pretty jarring.

[onebetter]

[ Yep, you bet there was some pretty confused profile clicking on this end. 'Oolong'? Seriously? Though seeing the other student's usernames is at least making James realize he might be the one being too formal here. ]

Hello, Professor Yang! It's good to see you.


Read you. Awkward turn of phrase.


The flight was good. I've never been on a plane for that long before, but it passed pretty quickly.

hogs swill

i should graduate before next fall unless i lose too much class time because of monster attacks

saving the world has priority over class and all

[ohgoodgrief]

Don't worry about it. I never know how to phrase it myself.

Yeah, it helps that you can sleep.

Settling in okay? Get to see any of France yet?
