As she walked down the hall, Eloise heard someone call her name and she turned to see the much taller, but no doubt younger, Self Defense Instructor. "Oh, hello Senka. How are you today?" She asked politely. She took a few steps to close the gap between them, looking up at her.

"I'm good." Senka replied calmly, "I've finished all my paperwork for today. Now I need to find out who my students will be." She made a small prayer that a certain annoying little brother wouldn't end up in her class. "Do you know who your students will be?" She ended up asking in the end. Senka didn't want to feel like an idiot knowing that she was the only one who didn't have her class roster set up.

She sighs and nods. "Yes I received the class list, and the itinerary list as well. They want me to start them off with welding. That's usually last. I suppose it's because some tend to lose interest by the time we get to that. I'll have to use a few classes to explain how to use the welding guns, and what goes where." Eloise sighs and shakes her head. "In any event, the semester should prove interesting yes?" She said with a smile.

"Very, that welding class sounds incredibly interesting." Senka stated, a bit of interest mixed with her usually emotionless voice, "Can teachers take it as well?" If she learned a bit or two about welding, she might be able to start making her own weapons instead of buying them. That would increase the home budget she had and Senka would finally be able to buy Zia some new alchemy equipment. The brat's been complaining about it and now she had a chance to keep his mouth shut.

"Well, I don't think you can during school hours. But I wouldn't mind teaching you after class." She said with a smile, glad that someone else showed interest. She was so worried that she'd be speaking to deaf ears and dealing with students trying to flirt with her. It was nice to hear someone mention to her genuine interest in one of her skills. "If that's alright with you, that is."

"Mhh, you look familiar..." Bon said to the blond boy who was holding her toolcase. She took it and opened it: A pefrect collection of all kind of tools! "Maybe I saw you somewhere", she muttered without even looking at the boy. She was way too excited to see what the new machine hold inside.

She screwed the machine open and a huge steam cloud flew on her! It was hard to think that someone could look even more horrible after that rain, but it seemed that the warm steam was just the right thing for that! Her purple coloured googles turned completely white by the steam and her light makeup started to melt. But Bon didn't mind. She just pulled one small hanky from one of her dress' many secret pockets and wipe her googles clear. Then she started to scrabble the cleaning machine's secrets with one hand and wipe her make up away with the other.
"Do you know what this thing is called? Who made this?" Bon asked from the boy, whom she assumed to still be behind her.

Sam stepped out of the steam car in front of the Academia. She straightened her clothes and put her fingers in her bangs to mess them up a little. She turned and held out her arms as her luggage came flying, and caught it neatly, though she stopped the cabby before he hurled her briefcase. That was where her finer tools were kept, that she didn't have for the every day breaks and kinks. She took it with a smile and gave the cab driver his money, and then turned back to view the "Glistening Institution" that her father had sent her to.
Sam scratched the back of her head, not quite sure what to make of it.
"Well, I guess I'll check in." she said, and slung her luggage on her back and walked in.

"That's just fine." Senka decided, "Just contact me whenever you're free. I'm not sure about my class yet, so I won't know if I'll need to train anyone after school. That reminds me, I should get going. I need to get my class roster. Do you know where the Headmistress is?" Knowing that her co-worker already had her class ready made her a bit confused. 'Did I already get my class roster?' She wondered.

"Sorry I don't." Zia replied as he watched with great interest as the girl tinkered with the machine, "It looks like it belongs to the Academia. Why don't we call it Mr. Broken for now?" He added that last part to make conversation. The girl before him was quite cute and he wanted to stay long enough to at least know her name.

"Hello?" Sam called as she walked into the building. She was looking for someone to give her directions.
"Anybody know where a chicky can check in around here?" she asked aloud. It echoed down the hallway.

Eloise nods and agrees to help her. Then she replies; "I believe the Headmistress went to the library. I'm not sure if she's still there however." She noted as her face changed to a confused expression, wondering about her class roster. "Well, the rosters were done this morning. You haven't gotten them yet? They should be in your teacher's mailbox. That's where I received mine." She stated, looking to her.

((Sorry, My boss called me in for an 8hour shift))

Lilee looked at Ace, deeply trying to figure out his secret but there was nothing "Uhm, sure.. why not" she said, hesitant at first. I wonder what his deal is.. she thought. He is so mysterious.. and a student. Damnit Lilee what are you getting yourself into. Lilee continued on in her head like that for awhile, but she still came up with nothing.

"Alright then It's a date," Ace winked and prepared himself to laugh at her expression.

Sam looked up and down the empty hallway. She shrugged, and decided she'd just haul her luggage with her.
Who knows? Maybe I'll find somebody who can gimme directions. she thought with a determined smile. She stopped and smiled when she saw what looked like a Teacher and a student, walking her way.
"Hallo!" she called cheerfully, holding up a calloused hand in greeting.

((Meaning her hands have callouses.))

A date. It echoed in her head. "Oh no, this could get me in a lot of trouble." Lilee replied while she snapped her fingers and he levitated up from the floor. Secretly, she kinda like the sound of it, it made her nervous. But Lilee wouldn't actually let him see that, she giggled a bit and placed him back down onto the floor.

"Wrong class! Sorry!" she exclaimed, and she left, turning a corner. Sam kept walking with all of her luggage and tools on her back. She stopped right by a drinking fountain and looked at it sideways. There was a sign on it that read "OUT OF ORDER". Her eyes gleamed as she read it, and she got out her Fine Tools set and spun screwdrivers in her hands before she set to work dismantling it.

To look at her from the side, you'd think she was a little kid at Christmas. The innards and a few pipes from the drinking fountain as she took the thing apart. Sam grinned as she shined a light up into the drinking fountain.
"A-ha!" she exclaimed excitedly, and began tinkering with the problem.

"HAH, it's Mr. Perfect soon! There's only one loose pipe, it seemed to unstuck by a hit..." Bon laughed while the boy was watching and turned a nut with her monkey wrench. She closed the machine very carefully and screwed the bolts. "Now it looks nice!" She tapped it a bit, and the machine made that sad whine again. And then, silence. "Mhh, or wait..." Bon said and was about to open the machine again, but then it started to make a flat humming and move toward the end of the hallway. "Wohoo! I made it!" Bonnedon waved and raised up. He turned around to the blond boy and smiled her brightest smile:
"Bonnedon Platinum, at your service!"

"So you can do almost anything with a snap of your fingers," Ace asked and wondered if this would make things more difficult for him. He knew he couldn't hurt her, it's very hard to kill a vampire, but he didn't like the idea of having to work for a meal.

"Yeah, but I don't usually go around lifting people into the air" She said giggling a little. "I just was just.. uh.. playing around.. that's all" Lilee continued smiling at Ace. She still hadn't been able to figure him out, she was hoping the levitation thing would do something but a she thought. Lilee had no idea what was happening to her.

"I see," Ace smirked, "Must be a pretty handy power." He smiled. She seemed alright, maybe later he'd ask her opinion on vampires. You know start slowly and work your way to the prize. He grinned at his own thoughts. He usually just had to use his charm to get a girl, but this one had special powers.

Zia was amazed at the girl's talent. She had completely fixed Mr. Perfect in a matter of minutes. And her sudden greeting did not surprise him at all. "Nice to meet you, I'm Zia Chelsed." He replied, bowing to the girl, "Alchemist extrodanaire." Well... he didn't need to add the last part, he just couldn't help it.

Senka stared at her and began to retrace her steps in her mind. She did go to her mailbox and took out all the papers in it. She remembered piling the stack on her desk when Zia walked into the office telling her about an overdue book. There was an argument, then a whack to Zia's head before her brother left. That's when it hit her.

While they were arguing, Zia had put his book down next to her pile of papers. He might have taken her roster along with him. "Thank you Eloise, I think I know where my roster went." Senka thanked as she spun around, "I'll talk to you later about those welding classes. Good-bye." And with that, she stormed down the hallway to find her idiotic little brother.

"Now lemme see... We move this outta the way, tighten up this and- what the hell is this even FOR?" she tossed a random scrap of metal out of the drinking fountain and then went back to it.
"Uh-oh." she said, and a burst of water came out and blasted her in the face. She pushed it back and fought her way back into the contraption. Immediately the water stopped. Sam was elbow deep in parts when she finally exclaimed;
"AHA! THIS IS THE PROBLEM!"
Then she became waist deep in parts.

"A real alchemist? Nice..." Bon was really amazed. Usually the alchemist she met were always some old geezers... Propably because they always wanted to meet her dad and his dad was old too. "I want to become an airship engineer and a pilot. I'm just a bit lost here since I just came", she said, "I should meet the headmaster or something, I think I saw her in the library" she continued and packed her tools back to the case. She picked up all her stuff and tottered a bit with the weight and started to slowly walk towards the library, but then she remembered something. She turned around to say the last words for Zia: "Oh yeah, see you later!"
And then she turned around again, just to crash on a running teacher.

Sam sighed as she put the case back on the drinking fountain. She bit her lip and turned the knob to take a drink, and once again got blasted in the face with water. Her eyes gleamed as she turned off the water and unscrewed the water fountain case, and once again became waist-deep in water fountain parts.
"A challenge..." she said quietly. She opened her Fine Tools Case and put her goggles over her eyes as she got out her tiny welding torch. Then she went back to the water fountain.

Eloise laughed a bit, then waved. "Very well, I will see you later then." She turned and continued walking down the hall, heading for her dorm room. Looking forward to a good night's sleep before classes started. She only hoped this year would go better than last. She hoped the switch of welding being first instead of last would be proof of that.

"Bye the-." Zia didn't finish when he was interrupted by Bonnedon's crash.

Senka stumbled back, but was able to keep her composure. She looked down at the blue-haired girl on the ground. She sighed and helped her up. "Watch where you're going." She lectured.

Zia blinked and waved. "Hi sis." He greeted.

Senka looked up and saw her brother standing only a few feet away. "You." She pointed accusingly at him, "I've been looking for you." She left the student and quickly strided towards the blond boy.

Zia's eyes widened and he covered his head with the book he was carrying. "Please don't hurt me." He cowered in fear until he felt his book get swiped away. He blinked and watched his sister flip through the pages. That's when she pulled out a piece of paper.

"Here." She stated while pushing the book into Zia's hands, "Bring it to the library, now." With that, she turned and started back from where she came.

Zia blinked again, then walked towards Bonnedon. "Sorry about my sister. She doesn't have any manners." He said to her, "By the way, since I'm heading to the library as well, may I escort you?"
