<strong>Who: </strong>Chiya<br/><strong>For: </strong>Open<br/><strong>Where: </strong>the Courtyard<br/><strong>When: </strong>12:00pm Sunday<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Chiya reacted quickly to the sudden arrival-by-falling of a new student, her hand darting to her waist, where she ordinarily wore her swords and spell-pouch. Remembering a moment later that she was unarmed (there wouldn't be any need for such things at a welcoming gathering, and it might be seen as rude to arrive armed to such an occasion), she sheepishly drew her hand back, trying to retain some dignity.<br/><br/>"You really ought to sleep in your assigned room, the trees here aren't weighted to support your weight." She scolded the archnid boy. Realizing that things had gotten a bit chaotic, she rose up into the air, her powerful serpantine body raising her above the assembled crowd of students. She whispered a cantrip to amplify her voice.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">"May I have your attention please?"</span><br/><br/>Letting her voice return to normal, she continued. "My name is Chiya Valduris, for those of you who I haven't met yet. Welcome to Pandora Academy, and to the informal student meet-and-greet. This is a time for us all to get to know each other before we have more strenuous activities later in the week. I've been at this school for several years now, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I can't stay here with you for long, but you can generally find me in my room in the residence, and if I'm not there, my schedule is posted on my door, so you'll have some idea of where you can track me down. I hope you have a happy time here at the Academy, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions."<br/><br/>Her rather impromptu speech finished, she lowered herself back to the ground, ticking off another box on her clipboard. She brushed a stray strand of hair out of her eyes, and nodded at the newcomer before turning back to her conversations already in progress.
