I have! I am most excited for the magical languages class that is starting this year.

[preanimator]

[ ... oh, one of the first years, probably.] Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body. [disinterestedly, but he will tip it down so Dirk can see the illustration he's currently perusing.]

[mo_cara]

Woah, there, you got to be getting your mellow on. Everything happens in the motherfuckin' time it's supposed to, you know? [Gamzee takes out a packet of cigarettes and plucks one free, flipping it around in his fingers.]

[mo_cara]

[ ... so apparently she missed the whole thing where everyone was mad at him for asking the entire student body about their masturbatory habits. That's probably good, considering. She'd probably have so much to say about that.]

Rather be back here, with all my bros. [evasively, smiling in the spaced out way he has] What about you, chica?

[mo_cara]

[shrugs] I don't know, do you? I thought it was tasting pretty nice, but maybe you won't like it. Never know until you get your try on, motherfucker! [smiles]

[eighttimeshandy]

But-! It's a precious, priceless heirloom! [Don't be fooled, Herbert, he's only protesting because that's what you're supposed to do when being given something so rare and obscure. He really wants this treatise like burning] I couldn't possibly rob you of this treasure!

[preanimator]

[rolls his eyes, and lightly shoves the taller boy's shoulder] Are the dramatics really necessary? Honestly, Eriq. Just take the damn thing and say thank you.

[He's smiling just a little, though.]

[givesyouaboner]

Eww. Who are you giving the bad ones to?

[givesyouaboner]

But it needs to happen faster. _{[Eleven year olds don't understand patience sometimes.]}

Are you allowed to be smoking in here?

[givesyouaboner]

Hi Arthur. Is the ride long?

[rule_britannia]

I'll just say this for it - you'd best make yourself comfortable.

[He shrugs]

We won't get to Hogwarts until dark.

[givesyouaboner]

Do you want to be a doctor?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Dirk glances from the toad to Karkat and back.]}

Maybe you shouldn't keep him in the same room you sleep in?

[givesyouaboner]

You're welcome.

_{[Dirk doesn't know how to handle delicate situations like this, so he decides to just sidestep it.]}

I'm Dirk.

[doctorkishitani]

[Shinra is wandering up and down the corridors when he spots Baljeet out of the corner of his eye. And Baljeet is reading a book! Knowing him, it's probably something really interesting, so Shinra's just going to peer into the compartment and say hello. ]

Hi Baljeet! What are you reading this time?

[moirailcompass]

[She just gave a small shake of her head and smile and her and a quieter tone] Nothing.

[She hopped back up on the seats causing her loose tie to nearly slip off and opened the book the the beginning]

So do people actually do this stuff?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[His face scrunches up some.]}

Normal trains go faster than that.

it is <3 i need more with fef in them

[moirailcompass]

Aww. Well I guess that explains why I didn't see you. [It really was a shame. Camping out with a bunch of people and seeing her class mates had been fun. Feferi's answer made her quirk and eyebrow and made her all the more curious.]

Where are you staying right now? You looked kinda busy but do you have time to sit down?

[doctorkishitani]

[You look new and interesting! So this fourth year say hello!]

Hello there! You seem new. Are you lost? Maybe I can help.
I'm Shinra Kishitani!

[And with that, he offers his hand. ]

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Wow, rude.]}

I'm just curious as to why you like it. Is it legitimately liking it? Like, Team Edward or Team Jacob liking it? Or is it like a case of Schadenfreude and you can't put it down?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Oh, in that case. He'll step in and sit down across from him.]}

Yeah, that's me. Marshall? You're really good with music.

[rule_britannia]

Heh, you're right.

[Arthur opens a packet of sweets]

I might get there sooner, but you're a first year. You get to go on a little boating trip across the lake. I hope you can swim.

[shnpc]

[There might be more eyes on her in a second, because it doesn't take long to get through the As.]

Amano, Ib!


[ooc note: We're not sure if she would be Eve or Ib on the official register, but if it's meant to be Eve, you can just assume that's what was said instead.]

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Dirk is quiet for a long moment.]}

I don't want to take the boat.

[rule_britannia]

I don't think you have a choice in the matter.
