Auggie looked stunned, this conductor seemed a bit off his rocker to him. But he listened anyway, and rocked back and forth on his feet. He then looked around the area, wandering to and from the group. Everyone seemed to be calmed down to him,and for the moment, so was he. "I'd want to ask if everyone was okay, but....I doubt anyone would respond to me." He smiled, falsely. Auggie then looked at Dakker, quietly, but he was at a loss as to what he should say. He went on anyway, "Uhm....Are you okay?" He asked, in his usual low tone. Then he crossed his arms.

Hello, I'm Oliver. My friends call me twist. I respect your intelligence and nobility enough to not ask you to shake my hand. Would you like to see a card trick?

Oliver is extremely relieved to hear that his majic is being drained, as he will not be accidentally stealing anything off his potential new friend.

Feng nods at the no-shaking-hands thing. Clearly this one is fairly smart. Actually, I'd prefer not to have any sleight of hand going on near me at the moment, especially given the fact that some criminals decided to try to destroy the train and kill everyone on it just now. Perhaps another time, when there's a bit more distance between your sleeves and my body.

The conductor sighs " I'm sorry son , but we warned them about entering this bus train without N OFFICIAL acceptance letter, and with her choosing to do this when the others did, this is out of my hand, but suppose your story is true, what would you have me do son? The only thing we can do is hold her here, I CAN however, take her to the headmaster, he'll decide her fate . . ." The man stares directly at the girl.

"Yes, that would be very preferable. I just don't want to see a family member executed for a misunderstanding. Thank you."

Pedro gives the conductor a quick bow. He turns and looks over to his cousin. "She may be an idiot, but she's family."

"Thank you again for your time, and thank you again for not just turning her over to be executed."

Celina watches in awe of Kayina's skillful art skills. She becomes very somber when Kayina draws the skulls saying. I'm very sorry. to her and then smiles at the next drawing (It's like plant based majic?) Awesome! Thank you for telling me all this. You can ask me questions if you like!

Well, I can hardly deny you that small joy. You may observe my finer features until we depart the train. Feng seems happy, and shows off some of his more expensive jewellery, with brief anecdotes about their origins.

Dakker thought the whole terrorism thing seemed a bit odd, a bit contrived. But she wouldn't question it.

"Uhm... Are you okay?" She heard Auggie say.

"Hm? Oh, yeah, thanks. I'm fine." She didn't seem very interested (wow, rude), as she was, instead, looking out the window, at... something bouldery.

Auggie coughed and rubbed his arms, like he was cold. He wondered around again, picking and pulling at well, everything, lowering his eyes. He hummed lowly, frowning now, as he continued to pick and pull at what ever was around. He hummed an unfamiliar tune, or at least unfamiliar to the people around, as he slowly stopped paying attention to his surroundings.

The conductor skulks back to the helm, and flips on his microphone. "Attention students, within about 3 minutes we'll be arriving at our destination, please due try to remain seated,as we need everyone to exit in a safe and orderly fashion." As the train reaches a huge stone arch, a beautiful light surrounds the bus, for only an instant as they go through the arch. At the otherside they arrive to a castle, one which makes the train appear to be that of a child's plaything people can be seen flying, jumping, and running at super speeds off of the train.

Three adults all of varying ages, stood at the front of the train . The conductor pushed all seven of the intruders to meet them, and the rest of the students were directed by the train men to group behind the conductor, somewhere at the front of the group are Pedro, Dakker, Auggie, Redglare Feng, Celina, and Oliver. The oldest, and front of the group confers with the other two adults about the special circumstance of the girl, cousin to Pedro. In the three, the oldest looks like our tradition image of a wizard, grey in the beard, with a mustache that is extremely long and blends into his beard. The next, with a cigarette in his mouth and a beard that comes straight down from (what would be) his muttonchops. The final one is a young woman, probably in her twenties,was a Kitsune with fox ears, 9 tails sticking out of her dress. All three are wearing mage robes, yet the Kitsune has cut her robe, and under it wears a skirt.

The conductor brings Pedro to them, along with his cousin Hera. after hearing the story the three confer, leading to two of them in unison saying " You aren't serious , are you headmaster?!" The younger male takes his place at the front of the group "Of course I am, since this young man wants to be responsible for this girl's fate . . .let him." Many are surprised to see that the younger man is headmaster, but he continues on ahead after leaning directly into Pedro's face "I can see from the look in his eyes, its the same look I had when i came here some time ago . . . If he wants to be responsible for her he can, but her actions are on his head" He stares back at the boy again " remember that kid . ."

The young man stands in front of the group "Oy! All you future mages! We know your tired of sitting and being caged up so we'll just cut straight to the chase, REPORT TO THE GYM IMMEDIATELY, we'll give you a chance to strut your stuff, once we've seen what you got, we'll give ya a rank, that rank will determine your team's wuality as a whole. We'll divide you into 10 student groups now and direct you to where to sit, you ten will share rooms and be labled as a team, blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. Point is, this lovely young lady over here will be giving you all your room assignments. The pretty kitsune turns her head and raises her nose with a "Hmph!".

As all seven of you received your assignments , you are given the assignment to the team name of Cloud, when anyone addresses their team from this point, they will address them as Cloud, or Clouds. One after another they all in their own way, make their way into the gymnasium and sit with their team, Hera however, attracts a-lot of dirty looks from other teams , and is assigned to the team to remain by Pedro. This gymnasium is huge enough that every student could run in a 2 yard circle and not bump into any other student while doing so, and looks to be like that of your average ordinary gym.

As he stands in the gymnasium, Oliver notices his hand grow cold. He removes it from his pocket, and it glows black for a moment.

Shit! Not now... it had better not be anything important.

He opens his hand and finds a group assignment for a different group. He silently hopes that whoever this belonged too could remember what group they were in, because there was no way he was going through the trouble of hunting them down. He shoves it back in his pocket.

Auggie cracked his knuckles and gave a cocky smile, and chuckled. Show them what I can do? He thought, it should be pretty, pretty easy to prove that I'm worth something, right? He seemed outwardly confident, though part of him was nervous about being inadequate, what if he didn't prove that he was good enough to be in this school? His smile shrunk slightly and he placed his arms slowly to his side. He looked at the people in front if him and behind him, wondering what they might end up doing to prove themselves...Hopefully nothing totally strenuous. Hopefully.

Pedro is rather speechless through most of the turn of events, he receives his paper and escorts Hera to their team seat.

He finally speaks up after they sit down. "What!?! That doesn't, I don't even..."

"I DID NOT ask to be a babysitter. I said just said 'don't assume she's a terrorist please,' and they lay this on me. He got that all from my eyes!?! Then my eyes are goddam liars because I sure as hell didn't ask  to be responsible for anyone!!!"

He turns to Hera. "You see this head and how its attached to my body? I like to keep it that way thank you. You better tell me RIGHT NOW, what the underworld you were doing because I swear on high that I will contact our family, I'm pretty sure they'll be worse then an execution!"

He turns to the rest of the group and exams them. He particularly notes the females on his team.

"I'm sorry that me and my cousin got such a sour intro in FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL.(He says by turning to Hera for a brief second) My name is Pedro, jokester extraordinaire, dashing and daring adventurer to be, and a cuddler if that interests you (He winks at the girls). It is a genuine pleasure to meet your acquaintance, though I wish it was in better circumstances."

Auggie listened closely, though he thought Pedro was a bit full of himself. Just a bit. He slowly raised his eyes, and coughed before introducing himself as clearly and properly as he could.

" Hello, uhm, everyone...." He looked around the room and warmly smiled, " I'm August, or you can call me Auggie. I guess it's easier to remember. All I really do is study plants and garden, I guess that's kind of boring, but I'll try my best not to be..." He blushed nervously and stammered, "I'm sorry this is a lame introduction but it's nice to meet everyone and I look forward to getting to know you all!"
Auggie pulled his arms behind his head, and lowered his gaze again. He was clearly embarrassed, and kept quiet for a while.

"Aww, Auggie. No need to be embarrassed, its not like your cousin was accused of terrorism. (He gives Hera another stare) Nice to meet you. I'm sure they ladies will be all over the flower thing."

He gives him a warm smile.

"I didn't need your help , and i wont need it either, i could and still can, handle myself . . . If you hadn't have interrupted me I could have done things on my own!" Hera scowls at Pedro. "I dont nee help from anyone like you, I don't like how you smell, its not good for me to be seen with you anyway."

Pedro laughs at her statement. "Ha, really? It more looked like your head was about to come off your shoulders, literally. You were doing terrible with that attitude of yours. If you don't want help, then actually come up with a solution then rely on your bravado, cause let me tell ya, it aint working. And how I smell? You obviously haven't got a wiff of yourself, because you smell of desperation and denial. Whether you like it or not, whether your grateful or not, I will help you when you start poking your stick into the proverbial bear, because the best you could have done on your own was to be thrown out for stealing an acceptance letter. THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME. Stop being stubborn, and at least start being helpful."

Oliver hears the commotion and decides to cut in, for no reason that is terribly apparent to himself. He speaks to the girl who was shouting.

Given the circumstances, I'm sorry to say you'll likely be seen with him a lot more. Which means you'd both better get friendly as soon as possible!

The terrorist girl clearly needs to get a handle on herself, he thinks.

He decides to introduce himself while he's at it, and adresses Pedro, Auggie, and Hera with his next statement.

I'm Oliver, my friends call me Twist. It's a pleasure to meet you three.

He extends a hand in an ambiguous direction that hopefully will seem welcoming to all three of them.

Pedro takes Twists hand and shakes the hell out of it. "Its a pleasure to meet cha Twist."

Auggie nodded and waved to Oliver and Pedro, quietly. "The...The ladies, huh?" His face flushed slightly, and he folded his arms, listening to the commotion. "I'm not exactly popular with the ladies, or at least not that often..."Auggie chuckled gently. He was popular in a sense, but not always. At least not always with the women around.

"Yeah, it shows your sensitive, a lot of girls dig sensitive." Pedro pats Auggie on the back. "You just need a bit more confidence."

He nods. Auggie knows he's not the most confident guy, but he could be if he had a bit more faith in himself. "G-girl's like sensitive guys?" He thought out loud; He'd never heard that before, honestly.

"A good number of them do. If you play your cards right, you'd hafta beat them off with a stick." Pedro pretends to beat things off with an imaginary stick.

"A....A stick?" Auggie looked confused about it for a moment, then his facve went red. He covered his mouth and spoke in a muffled tone, "That...I think I know what you mean but I can't say it...That'd be inappropriate!"He stammered again.
