Finishing up any conversations left from Arrival Day<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Name:</strong>Kutseena Sai (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SoaringDragon/RPG%20Characters/tumblr_lxcg15Mt0T1qdhje7o1_400_zpsc5243dfe.jpg)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Student<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Woods on Dragonclaw U Grounds<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Acacia “AC” Hartley, Mʉa Kupi̲ta, back at Dragonclaw U's Entrance<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Arrival Day<br/><hr/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Mʉa Kupi̲ta (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SoaringDragon/RPG%20Characters/e15c1adc4c401fe_zps95b53853.jpg)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Teacher<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Woods on Dragonclaw U Grounds<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Acacia “AC” Hartly<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Arrival Day<br/><hr/><br/>Kutseena blinked as Ravenna suddenly disappeared. She made a clucking sound and shook her head. Looking over, she noted Acacia and Mua talking together and tilted her head a bit. “I think I’ll take my leave as well. I should find Inali anyway. Cousin, Acacia, May the Great Spirit Always Guide Your Steps.” And with that she apparated back to the entrance of the University.<br/><br/>Mua looked up as he finished pulling his pants on and buttoned his pants as he listened to Acacia. He gave a nod. “Yes, the Moon has some affect, but not as much as what you’re feeling.” He paused and leaned against the table and crossed his legs at the ankles. He looked to the pendant again. He knew he hadn’t answered her question before and that he should. Just how much exactly to tell her.<br/><br/>Finally he looked up at her eyes and smiled. “The pendant is something handed down in my family, my branch of the family. It’s a skill taught to all of us descended from Coyote. It’s a special mix of the natural properties of the stones and magic one of my ancestors invented. Originally, it was to help the young pups. It keeps the transformation at bay as needed until they gain the discipline and ability to control it themselves.”<br/><br/>Abruptly, he stopped his explanation. It was several moments before he continued while his thoughts had continued the narration for a moment. Finally he resumes, but obviously at a different point in the story. “This is my third year teaching. My first year, I quickly learned that those could be really useful for those students struggling with the class. And I had a hell of a time making enough then to cover. So I make them just about any spare moment I get any more.”<br/><br/>He reached for the bag and rummaged inside again and pulled out another pendant. This one was far different though than the one Acacia now wore. The beads were smaller for starters, and the pendant itself was just a small lump of meteorite, instead of a flattened disc with carvings. “The magic within the necklace will attune itself to the wearer. It will protect them from being forced to Change, by either the Full Moon or a Witch/Wizard. Also, if it is a spell trying to force you to change, you will get a kind of buzzing sound in your head, so you know an enemy is about.”<br/><br/>He stops again and stares at the pendant in his hand. “I know I said you can ‘borrow’ that, but in truth none of these are ‘borrowed’. It’s why I make so many. Once it attunes to a wearer, it won’t work for anyone else.” His eyes cut briefly to the one she wore and then back to the one in his hand. He then tosses it up on the table next to his satchel. “They also are specific to Lycanthropes. In other words, if someone like Kutseena or her brother Inali or just about anyone else, puts one on, but it won’t… activate for lack of a better word, unless they are a Were-creature of some type. Animagus won’t activate it either.” He smiled at Acacia and then grabbed his shirt and started to put it on.<br/><hr/>Name: Rose Weasley<br/>Position: Student/Teaching Assistant-Potions<br/>Location: Transfiguration Classroom<br/>Tagged: Albus, Inali, Adelaide<br/><hr/><br/>Rose feigned a look of innoence on her face, as if to say 'who me?'. Her blue eyes twinkled with mischief and amusement at watching her cousin jump. Though she had not expected to have wand pointed in her face. Clucking her tongue, she wagged the quill as if to scold him. "Now, Al, didn't your mum teach you not to point," she teased while setting the stack of books down on a desktop. She couldn't remember the last time she saw her cousin this jumpy. Then her eyes shifted to look at Adelaide then back to Albus, a lopsided grin on her face.<br/><br/>Smiling politely at both Inali and Adelaide, "I'm Rose Weasely," she greeted, her eyes lingering on Inali for a moment. Pulling out her wand and gave it a simple flick of the wrist while muttering a spell and caused the spillt Butterbeer to vanish. "I do hope my dear cousin here has been a gentleman?" Teasing Albus she gently nudged his ribs. Waving her wand over the stack of books causing them to shrink in size. Scooping them into her hand, she opened her purse and dumped them inside where they collided with an already considerable stack of books and other items. She had put an extendable charm on the inside of the bag, expanding the interior to allow her to carry pretty much everything she needed. No more need to carry a back breaking bag loaded with books, and rolls of parchment.<br/><br/>Hopping onto a desktop she sat there swinging her legs a little. "How do you like Dragonclaw so far," she asked looking from Inali to Adelaide.<br/><hr/><div align="center">(http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae304/WhimsicalWhimzy/th_tumblr_ll62yr5yDz1qa4cp2o1_400_zps3fddae12.jpg)</div><div align="center"><strong>Name:</strong> Adelaide Cruz<br/><strong>Position:</strong> Student/Healer<br/><strong>Location:</strong> Transfiguration Classroom.<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong> Albus, Inali.</div><br/><br/>Adelaide turned, her chin lifting as she looked up, and up. Her eyes meeting his green ones for a instant before her gaze flickers down to the book peeking out of her satchel, her expression momentarily surprised ( It wasn't often another person, much less a man commented on her chosen reading material) How refreshing. Noticing his hand, Addie's lips kicked up slightly at the corners as she slipped her considerably smaller hand into his." I'm not like most students."  Giving his hand a friendly squeeze, Addie found his obvious nervous behavior and rambling kind of cute. " My name is Adelaide Cruz, its a pleasure to meet you." Be polite, she told herself over and over again, apparently some people in the past had taken issue with her 'American' ways.<br/><br/>Albus Severus Potter...yes, she'd heard his name before, and the people he was connected with. The Famous Potters and the second wizarding war. A fascinating read, something she'd learned more about when she had gone to Britain for a short time a summer ago. Lifting a bottle of butterbeer from the table, she offered one to the young man before taking a sip of her own.<br/><br/>And this was were her limited social skills got her, on a personal level Adelaide often failed at getting to know people. She had an amazing bedside manner though, but that was different. In her mind, caring for someone who was ill/dying or maimed was worlds different then trying to figure out what kind of small talk to make with a perfectly healthy stranger. Ugh, no wonder her Uncle and Father thought she was hopeless when it came to interacting with people.<br/><br/>" So, tell me something, did I miss anything worth while?"  Suddenly, Adelaide become aware of someone standing close by, turning Addie looked over at the new arrival with slightly narrowed eyes. Her smile fading as she took in the silent male. " A friend of yours?" She glanced back at Albus, a brow lifting in question.<br/><hr/><strong>Name:</strong>Albus Severus Potter (http://i.imgur.com/hPaSizJ.jpg)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Student<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Transfiguration Classroom<br/><strong>Tagged</strong>: Adelaide, Inali, Rose<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Albus accepted Adelaide's hand as gracefully as he could. Adelaide Cruz, she was American. He seemed to be having an odd sort of luck with Americans today, perhaps there was something about them that intrigued him. Cross cultural communication had always been easier for him even though he failed at communicating with his neighbors (there was probably some deep psychological insight in there, but he didn’t have the patience to ferret it out).  She must have known who he was, or at least had an inkling of what his name meant, being well read as she was. But she seemed to take in stride. She was obviously intelligent, and he liked the way she confidently set herself apart from the other students, yet didn't seem to judge him for his awkwardness.<br/><br/>He took the butterbear off her and took a sip, grateful to have a bit more of that in his system. “Umm thank you very much” Albus had so far been able to carry off the conversation politely but he was getting to the point where he was scrambling for what to say next. “Well you did miss the Boggart, we all went up and it turned into our greatest fears, you probably have done the exercise before, but it was my first time and I’m proud of the way it went.” He smiled slightly at his own little brag, he rarely did that but he felt that he had earned it “Too bad you missed it but it’s a great way to get to know people, a shortcut through  the small talk” He winced visibly when he enunciated “small talk” the words seeming to bring him physical pain.<br/><br/>Albus noticed Adelaide look off to the side distracted by someone behind him. He started to turn around and see what she was looking at “A friend of mine? I’m not sure wha-“ He was taken aback by Inali who had somehow silently snuck up right behind him. He gave an incredibly unmanly and undignified yelp and jumped a little, even spilling a bit of his butterbeer. He immediately went about regaining his composure, trying to salvage what dignity he could. “Um,  yes well, this is my new friend Inali, Inali this is Adelaide Cruz, um, you’re both American”<br/><br/>Just as we was composing himself, he felt something tingling at his ear which startled him, he jumped again and pulled out his wand with a shout, and suddenly realized he was pointing it in the face of his cousin “ROSE! What in god’s name are you are you doing!” He sheepishly looked around realizing that he was sort of making a scene. He glared at Rose “This is my cousin Rose, she is annoying” he said (although, he had to admit, the timing of the prank had been just perfect…) He placed his butterbeer on the desk afraid of spilling more. For this level of embarrassment, he felt like he needed something much stronger than butterbeer anyway.<br/><hr/><strong>Name:</strong>Inali Sai (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SoaringDragon/RPG%20Characters/tumblr_mbdjddwsiv1rw6xrjo1_1280_zps2853c7d7.jpg)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Student<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Transfiguration Class<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Professor McGonagall, Albus Potter, Adelaide Cruz, Rose Weasley<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Arrival Day – Transfiguration Orientation<br/><hr/><br/>As Inali stood there, his mind turned over the last bit of his conversation with Professor McGonagall. Though the twins had their cousin Mua here, there were times he was best avoided, unless one wanted to become a full-fledged member of Trickster Coyote’s family, or dinner. It would be a nice change to have a teacher not related to that they could go to if need be. They had seriously lacked such an opportunity at SWI. But then Salem Witches Institute didn’t have a single Native on staff, not even as a grounds keeper. After they had found a good hunting ground and hunted and explored it enough to determine the dangers, he’d offer an invite to the professor to join a hunt.<br/><br/>Brought out of his thoughts by certain words in the conversation, he focused in in time to watch Albus yelp and spill his drink. His eyebrows rose and a smile twitched the corners of his mouth again. He gave a nod to Adelaide, his expression once more neutral. He was about to make some sort of inane greeting when his eyes widened slight and he opened his mouth in warning, but too late. He watched as Albus once more was startled. He actually laughed, a deep bass. Unusual for him with new people. He liked this cousin of Albus.<br/><br/>“Forgive me Albus, I did not mean to surprise you so. I just do not make a lot of noise as your people do when I move.” He turned to Rose and Adelaide. “A pleasure to meet you both.”  His eyes twinkled as he spoke to Rose. This one was an interesting one, and worth getting to know, much like her cousin. He then returned to his more stoic stance and expression.<br/><hr/>Name: Rose Weasley<br/>Position: Student/Teaching Assistant-Potions<br/>Location: Transfiguration Classroom<br/>Tagged: Albus, Inali, Adelaide<br/><hr/><br/>Rose feigned a look of innoence on her face, as if to say 'who me?'. Her blue eyes twinkled with mischief and amusement at watching her cousin jump. Though she had not expected to have wand pointed in her face. Clucking her tongue, she wagged the quill as if to scold him. "Now, Al, didn't your mum teach you not to point," she teased while setting the stack of books down on a desktop.
