Tarja didn't need to glance at her information to remember her assigned room number. Newly accepted students got that information with their acceptance letter, but the school's main bulletin board housed a sheet as well. Returning students usually referred to that, but Tarja demanded that information the second she arrived on the first tram here. Room 38b in Terra Fawn Hall. With determined steps, she passed the crowds milling around the hovering board in the courtyard and found her room in a matter of minutes. The same keycard that allowed access to the Stratous Magus tram held the coding for their rooms so a simple scan of that let her in. Hopefully it would be better than last year.
Tumaini lingered in the back, reaching the courtyard after most of the crowds already mobbed it. His slow pace and meekness left him getting pushed aside like this so he couldn't do more than look up and try to see something over every one's heads. The message board hovered. Somehow, some way, it hovered. The room postings seemed to shine and it took him a minute to realize the 'board' may not have been a board at all. He couldn't be sure, but it seemed to expand out of a single point at the mouth of a black orb about the size of a grape fruit.
Shaking his head at the wonders of this pace, he hurried past. Tumaini already knew his number and shuffled his way there, absorbing a little extra sunlight before he reached his destination.
