Welcome to the dinner

[Dome]

Falbera says, "or perhaps he wanted you to learn how to fight so that when fools and arrogant bastards decide to attack, you can show them how stupid they really are," her fist slamming down on the table as her own anger at being mistreated slowly bubbles to the surface.

[revan]

Thay gasps at the speed of which the strange one reacted, easily catching the blind girl known as Cee-Cee. "A very good catch, speed and reflexes that would make a sword master gasp."

"Now perhaps we should change the subject as the dwarf here seems to be losing her temper." Thay gives the Dwarf a stern look. "Anger clouds and narrows the mind, it leads to mistakes not only in life but in battle. If you can't control your anger then you are to doom us all."

[Dome]

"Don't presume to lecture me elf," she says derisively. "I need not your opinion or your sanctimonious words. Save it for someone who enjoys to be talked down to, I do not."

[Everyone]

A voice comes from the exit out of the room. "Now, now. This is not the time to fight or get angry at all. You are all going to be spending a lot of time together. This includes you D'fel." As you all turn you see the instructor of unarmed combat before you. "In case you have forgotten, I am instructor Ronsen, and now that you have a little time to get to know one another you are ready to join the rest for the meal as I am sure you are all famished from the long day. After which you will get to see your dorms for the first time. So if you can follow me. And D'fel, remember what you were taught about being near a lady and going to somewhere." With that he spins and walks out of the room.

You realize that there is no hall at all, and the door opens right into a great room where there is a feast to be had by all. And it seems your seats are steps away at a tables end.

Falbera calms after Instructor Rosen speaks. She is upset with herself for allowing her resentment of others over the way she had been treated growing up to get the best of her. She leaves the table they are currently at and stops at the threshold to the great room.

Falbera glances at the others after taking in the large room. She hesitates to step forward but when no one else moves, she walks past them all and makes her way to the table.

She sits down at a seat and waits for the food.

{ooc: wasnt sure if food was already served, there for the taking, or had to be served. there is no food in the picture.}

[dakota]

"Yes Father." D'fel acknowledged Ronsen with a respectful bow. " Ladies first." He said politely. " Cecile, there are many things to trip on in the great hall when it is full. Would it be an insult to offer to help?"

[lwcoyote]

Tath's eyes widen as s he takes in the great hall, the rows of tables and the expetant faces. A little smile touches her lips as she moves to follow Falbera into the room, gazing around it curiously. "Reminds me a little of home... just a whole lot bigger.." she murmurs to herself. Uncertain if there was a specifc place she had to sit, the elf looks to Ronsen for further instruction.

[revan]

Thay walks past the angry dwarf, his nose held up just a bit at her. IT was rare, almost non-existent when Thay thought he was better then anyone else, but this was one of those times. He still held some resentment to Dwarfs because of the ancient war but usually it was kept in check.

Looking for his spot, Thay finds it and sits down, looking to see who is to sit next to him.

[Everyone] - Short post as..well to be frank I am exhausted


You are indeed correct that the food has not been served....or is long gone. One of the two. Either way....back to your regularly scheduled post.

Before you enter the hall, Cecile turns to D'fel, "As I was taught, it is never an insult to accept a gentleman's hand in guidance." And accepts the way in.

Once inside you do indeed get seats at the end of the table, and appears that you are the last to arrive. But once seated, and Cecile does accept assistance from D'fel. Once all are seated the headmaster begins.

"Welcome all to the school. We are here because you are the best of the best. For that you deserve the best." And with that stroves of what look like people come out and set before you each of your favourite meal.

"Now enjoy the feast, and when done we will talk more." With that the headmaster finished he sits and the feasting begins.

[dakota]

After he had led Cecile to her seat, D'fel had waited for the girls to sit before taking a spot for himself. When they were addressed, he could not help look at his companions with a bit of awe. That Father had chosen such a class for him to join made him feel humbled. Before he could say anything, the food began to arrive. He waited until the others were served before lowering his head in private thanks. He then waited for the others to start eating his steak, pleased it was prepared just as he liked, though he took his time eating the barely cooked meat so he could savor the taste.

After washing the down his first few bites with a drink of milk he wiped his mouth as looked to the others," It is an honour to have a chance to join a class like this. If the instructors call you the best of the best, I hope to learn much from you."

[revan]

Thay smiles, his plate containing a fat slice of well cooked venison, a grilled potato, a large dish of stewed carrots and of course a slice of bread. He slips his dagger out of his sheath and spears his potato with it. "Man, this smells just like Mum made it."
Thay begins to eat in earnest, having nearly starved on the way here and digs into his plate as fast as he can. He takes a quick look to see what the others have.
Hearing what the weird beast says, Thay swallows a rather large mouthful before he replies. "This school is supposed to be the best of the best, but i hear the washout rate is very high."

[lwcoyote]

Tath raises her brows a little at first D'fels comment, then Thays. "Best of the best? I'm not sure if I should be here then.." she replies, giving her head a little shake. "The swordsmaster back home beats me on a regular basis.." the young elf adds with a little sigh.

When the food itself arrives, Tath cooes a little over what looks like some sort of creamy stew, which she digs into after breaking some sort of crusty, dark colored bread into several square pieces. "Oh wow, just like at home!" the elf exclaims happily after taking a first bite.

[Dome]

Once dinner is served, Falbera realizes how hungry the days activities and the ordeal in the tunnel made her. She reaches out and rips a leg off the baked chicken in front of her. She takes a large bite and grabs the loaf of bread that was on the same plate.

She wipes her face with the sleeve of her uniform before taking a large bite of the bread in typical dwarf fashion. As she eats she forgets about the make shift hood and it slowly slips off her head allowing the others to at last see her face.

{Appearance info for the students :
P.B.: 09
Her face is littered with pockmarks, hairy moles, and a 5 o’clock shadow that if left un-shaved would quickly grow into a full beard. Even ugly by dwarf standards. If only face is shown, mistaken for ugly male dwarf.}

[Everyone]

The meal is indeed the best you have ever probably had created for you. It is perfectly seasoned. It is almost serene at how quiet the hall is and the only thing you hear is the sound of chewing and other things associated with eating.

As you all finish the same individuals that brought you the meal return to take the leftover dishes and what not away as well as deliver dessert. It is while this is going on that the headmaster continues to speak.

"Now for the most part you have met everyone here, and you have met your pods. This is how you will be setup for sleeping arrangements." He pauses for a moment before continuing, "Yes I know this seems like boys and girls will be sleeping close together but while this is true, it is not exactly the case. You will be separated, boys will always be on the left and girls on the right in dorms. It will be three on one side and three on the other. You will note that there are some pods that are not matched properly. In this case it is still the same , boys on one side and girls on the other, but one side might have an extra bed. Either way for you new students it will be all explained tomorrow in orientation which will begin at one hour past the crack of dawn. Now enjoy the rest of the night and maybe this time instead of the dead of silence you will discuss amongst yourselves in the pod."

With that bit of long-windedness the professor sits and goes to his dessert in front of him as well.

[dakota]

D'fel finished his meal and dessert, then looked at the others. " We are a pod then? We shall prove to father that we are worthy and become the best the school has produced. We should learn from one another so that our strengths compliment each other. Yes?"
