your shoujo is beginning!

[Ah, high school.

A truly wonderful and inspiring time for all. With the school year starting, faceless students mingling about and chatting -- catching up over their summer, or grabbing their friends to congratulate them on getting into the world's top Pokémon Trainer's School -- with the cherry blossoms spinning in the wind from the rows of them lining the school's beautiful golden gates...

Yes, there's truly nothing better!

Except for perhaps the middle school just beside this beautiful campus; there's a small lake between them where the grades intermingle, and the excitement of the day - and maybe even the bell ringing to signify classes, lunch, or break! - is vibrantly in the air!

Just be careful that the principal doesn't see you with your Pokémon out! That would distract the other students, after all...]

[ooc: welcome to the high school au room! also middle school, if your character's not quite aged enough. with uniforms, cheery blossoms, and the exciting promise of an excellent spring for all classes and grades, it's sure to be a blast!

please mingle and thread amongst yourselves, and have a great time! if it's school au, it's free to go!]

They do... Can't you just imagine a senior coming up to you and confessing to you?! Totally romantic! But no, not for I, who has a snotty spring!

[powerleveling]

It'd be wonderful, though... in my case, a tad unlikely, especially here. Nobody's going to come up to the new transfer student and confess to her on the very first day, you know? [A laugh.] Surely there's plenty other romantic scenarios that don't involve cherry blossoms.

[goldenlyre]

[Oh. Oh! She's new! Oh my!]

Romantic scenarios aside, if you're new you've got to have someone to show you around! [Considering this is a scenario itself - a transfer student, and Lyra got tog reet her! Oh, but it ended up so grossly...!] I'm Lyra, and this is Sprouty. We'd be pleased to be your first friends.

[powerleveling]

It's very nice to meet both of you. I'm Elena, and this is Blur. [She gestures to her Manectric.]

If you would be so kind as to show me around, I'd appreciate it.

[goldenlyre]

[She's like the most polite girl ever...! Lyra's already in love!]

It's nice to meet you both! Okay, so, these are obviously the front gates... The wing on the right's for sports, and the one on the left's for classrooms and clubs. You can find a lot of the sport stuff around back too. I want to run track this year! Or maybe do volleyball! I haven't really decided. The back's also a popular place to get confessed to! So is the roof! We're allowed to eat our lunch up there, so if you ever want to when it's nice out go ahead! And--

[SNEEZE




cough. Ahem. Thankful for these tissues, yup.]

Sorry, was that too much at once?

[powerleveling]

Oh, no, not at all. Track's pretty fun, I did that back in middle school.

... Say, what class are you in?

[goldenlyre]

We should totally take track together, then! It'll be fun! And I'm in 1-D.

[powerleveling]

Definitely! I'm sure you'd enjoy it. [A pause before she pulls out a piece of paper to check something. Her expression seems to brighten even further.] How wonderful! I happen to be in that class as well.

[goldenlyre]

[YESSSS SCOOOOORE SHE'S GOT THE CUTE TRANSFER STUDENT IN HER CLASS




she's not fist pumping nope]

That's great~! Then, I'll show you around a little before the bell rings, and then we can have lunch together too, and I'll introduce you to my best friends and it'll be the start of a good year!

[powerleveling]

Thank you so much, Lyra. This is a better welcome than I could have hoped for.

[goldenlyre]

Really? Transfer students usually get pretty popular. Promise you won't forget me in the sea of friends you're going to have, Elena?
