Stahlhiem: College of Magic (Rebooted!) IC

Simon saw Coro run into a ring then joined the crowd to watch her. He hear more than a few people laugh at small wolf girl getting into the ring with fewer still showing concern at her going against such a large opponent. For his part, the death mage just tossed a bag of coins to the bookie betting a third of the money he brought with him. Part of Simon was worried though he wouldn't show it in his cocky and laid-back face. He was worried that his friend might get hurt, He was worried he might lose his money and He was also worried just in general...but that part of him was small and he knew who was going to win this "KICK HIS ASS CORO"
 
When the man saw who his opponent was he just laughed at the small wolf girl. " Ill be sure to make this as quick and painless as possible little girl you don't belong here." Coro just smirks at the man. "Stop stalling old man or are you just afraid to fight a little girl?" The man quickly closes the gap between them and gives coro a right hook right to the face to end the match quickly and starts to walk back to his side of the ring thinking it was over and when he turns around he sees the small girl walking right to him not even fazed by the punch earlier. "I think your age is catching up with you old man that was nothing" The man and the crowd was shocked that the small girl was still standing but the crowd soon snapped out of it and started placing bets between the man and the girl.

In the excitement of the festivities, no one noticed that a figure was watching the fight from the shadows of the alleyways. The figure is a pale humanoid figure, surrounded by dark mist. The figure watched from the sidelines with great interest, wondering how the fight will end.
 
The man soon snaps out of his initial shock and begins to throw flurry of punches at the small girl however that proved difficult because she would just dodge them not even strike back it became clear that she was just toying with the man. After a few minutes the man stopped trying to hit her and instead he managed to grab the girls tail and yanked on it to bring her closer. A sharp pain went up coros back as the man yanked her tail to bring her closer to him but she was fine with getting closer she would make him pay for being so rough with her tail as soon as she was in striking range she uppercuts the man in the jaw sending him almost a foot into the air and came crashing back down with a thud the man was clearly unconscious. Coro then bows to the crowed however only a few clap and cheer the rest mainly the ones who lost a large amount of money due to betting on the man stand there in awe and shock. Coro exits the ring and collects her prize money and returns to simons side with a grin. "Soooo whats next?"
 
Dear high heavens was Harrison lost. After getting over his initial shock of seeing a bunch of... whatever the hells that was, which by the way took quite a bit of mental willpower because holy crap, he had decided to use the old male fallback for when he was lost. Thus, he decided to wing it and went down the nearest alleyway, hoping to eventually come across someone in a private enough place that he could ask them where to go without seeming like a complete moron.
...
Was that someone's hand in his pocket?
[5 min time skip]

Eventually he managed to make his way the end of an alleyway, a trail of broken thieves behind him as he made his way out to the end and could see a clear area once more which seemed to hold some sort of fighting ring. Oh hey, it was that dog... wolf... jackal? girl he saw earlier! Man, she must get around. Well either that or he spent a while just going in circles and hasn't actually gone very far. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Harrison remembered why he was here in the first place. He needs someone:
A) Magical looking.
B) Alone
C) Didn't look like they would try and kill him for breathing in their direction.

So the whole crowd around the fighting arena, despite their somewhat stunned murmuring, is completely out. Where was all this mist coming from? It's not winter. Unless it was? To be honest he wouldn't be surprised if just going into an alley switches the seasons around or something. The rumours about the city are pretty wild.

Looking around, Harrison noticed that all the mist seemed to be emanating from... oh hey! There was... someone? In the centre of the mist, standing just to his left and in front of him. Hmm. Magical mist. Only two in the alley. Looks kinda small (Well, everyone kinda does). Perfect!

Walking up to the figure, Harrison slung his bag back over his shoulder as he reached out with an arm to tap them on the shoulder. "Hey, uh, sorry, but can you tell me how to get to the college? My first time here and I'm kinda lost... again, sorry, don't wanna intrude on your celebration or nothin but I just need to know." He asks them, holding his hands up in an apologetic gesture.
 
The misty figure was rather surprised at the Beastman's discovery of him, but it wasn't much a problem. The figure quickly dissipated into the darkness. The only thing the beastman saw in the dense mist was that the figure had dark red eyes and a pale complexion.
 
Once the fight was over the young death mage started Counting the new money he had earned while moving towards the edge of the ring "HEY CORO" he shouted "I KNOW IT'S FUN BEING ALPHA BITCH OF THE FACE PUNCHING ARENA BUT WE'VE GOT TO GO. OUR APPOINTMENT'S ALMOST UP." In hindsight shouting probably wasn't necessary inside the still stunned crowd but he did it anyway "Good job by the way never doubted you for a second" Simona just waited for her to leave the ring.
 
Just fraking great. How bloody rude was that git! Seriously, Harrison asks him a question on how to get to a school and the prick just ups and dissapates (That's a new word he learnt that he is very happy to finally use). Side note, wonder if he could eventually do that with ice. That would be pretty cool. Would he get blue eyes? Wait, where was he? Oh yeah, angry at the mist person. Grr.

Going slack, Harrison sighs to himself as he looks around. Now what? He could ask the fighting ring crowd? Win a few matches, demand an answer? He could turn back to one of those thieves. A few snapped limbs doesn't really stop your ability to answer questions, if he's gentle enough. But torture and interrogation was a bit... yeah... it's just a school, no need to go all Mad Queen on the poor blokes.

Maybe if he just started throwing ice? Eventually he would have to be noticed? Then again, magic city, magic people. Even his size didn't seem out of place with all the demihumans and creatures rolling around. Groaning in anger, Harrison just decides that it's time for a snack. Sure he ate two sandwiches a few minutes ago, but didn't mean he wasn't still hungry.

Slinging his bag back into his hands, he ruffles through it to find some cash. A few notebooks for the classes, a bone, his favourite rock... ah! Here we go! This should be just enough for a meal. Let's hope he finds the college before he needs to eat again. Looking around for a restaurant or vendor or something, Harrison quickly notices a... Falafel? Farafel? Shop. 'Sounds tasty.' He thinks to himself as he make sure his way over, quickly ordering a wrap and sitting down at a few tables outside, the chair groaning under his weight.
 
Coro exits the ring next to simon "Alright then lets get going and thank you for the complement I know im Awesome aren't i?" Coro begins to walk in the direction for the meeting the crowd around the ring back away clearing a path.
 
Thal weasled his way though the crowd, past the onlookers and people exchanging coin until he could reach both Simon and Coro. "There you both are!" He exclaimed. "Do you realize how hard it was to navigate in this goddess forsaken city? Even Lun herself might find herself lost in all this chaos."

As the fight ended, the crowd split to allow a heavily armored Nug eat what looks like a raw cow leg through. The Nug was 11ft tall, a foot higher then the average Nug, and was large enough to crush three men with his sheer bulk. The fearsome looking creature walks to a restaurant, where a waiter who had seen the beast of a man is waiting for the Nug, with chalk and board in hand. The Nug walks up to the waiter and addressed him in a loud demanding bellow.

"You der! Give me everything you got! Or I'll crump ya! I got to get back to the big college after the After Lunch Breakfast ends!" He shouted. The waiter simply wrote down 'Everything' - Shish Krum Bob, and walked inside to tell the chef. After the Nug took a load off by sitting on the floor, loudly eating his raw cow leg with zeal.
 
With a wide smile Simon spoke "You know, This whole cocky attitude doesn't suit you at all. What you getting tired of being a mouse" he laughed. Once Thal had broken through the crowd Simon spoke to him "Sorry Lord Thal, We were kind of busy" he gestured to the street "If you'd please lead the way"
 
Coro gives simon a fake growl "I am no mouse i am a fearsome wolf!" She struggled keeping herself from grinning but failed. coro then heard thal speaking to them. "My bad got... caught up in something" The two followed thal talking along the way.
 
While the parade was going on people around him started screaming like lunatics just because of the dragons. Having one kebab left Kodner wanted to finish it without his ears bleeding. Seeing the only chair open the Verdantkin walks up to it. When he reaches the table the boy saw the beastman on the other side.

"Excuse me do you mind if I take a seat?" He asks.
 
Thal nodded at Simon and took the two to meet his adviser, a Night Verdantkin.

"Hello young prince. Is there something that you require?" Asks the adviser.

"I request that I see my father. I have some guests who wish to speak with him." Thal replied

"Is that so? I'm sorry my prince, but your father is with the Governor right now and he wishes not to be dis-"

"I'm sorry for interrupting, but I did not make myself clear. I ORDER you to take me to my father, otherwise you shall see your sorry hide on the front lines at the next war our house participates in, do I make myself painfully clear?" Thal threatens and the Advisor thinks about it for a moment before bowing respectably and leads the group to the wall, where Theu and the Governor stands, watching over the line marching in as it ends.
 
Harrison fought to tear his gaze away from the sight of the feasting Nug, eyes widened in disbelief. He had thought he was a large eater, but there's large and then there seems to be Nug levels. Wrenching his head forcefully to the side, he looked at the man arethoseearsreal? who's hand was resting upon the chair in question, an inquisitive look on his face.

"Oh, sorry man, yeah sure go ahead!" Harrison said to him, grinning at the guy. This must be one of those knife-ear people he had heard about. Greenkin? Woodskin? Wait, no, He remembered that it started with Ver... Vermillionkin! There we go, got it. Watching the... man? Is it still man? Looks kinda young. Whatever. As he saw the young thing sit down, he gestured at a pile of falafel wraps in the centre of the table.

"Want one?" He grins at him. "Got plenty to go around, though you'll have to answer a question in exchange." Score! This... tiny person, should know how to get there! Right? Please? Dear high heavens he hoped so. What do you call male (probably) Vermillionkin? Men?
 
"Nah I've been eating 3 other of these I'm pretty stuffed at the moment," kodner said denying the offer, "but thank you." The boy was curious of to whom the beast men was. He hadn't seen him in the week he was at the college.

Pardon me aksing, but what brings you here? The college sightseeing? Business trip?" The verdantkin asked.
 
Harrison laughed, pain evident in his voice as he scratches his jaw, unsure how to go about this. "Well... the thing is... how do I put this? Uh, I'm a new student at the college, just got drafted, and I am completely and utterly lost. That's why I wanted to ask you a question, in case you know where to go in order to get to the college, and so that I don't have to follow that Nug." He says despondently, jerking his thumb towards the ever growing scene of food carnage.

While externally he may be all awkward cheer, internally Harrison was having a very diffocult time. 'Oh high heavens what is this?! They sound like a girl! But they look like a guy! What are you?! What do I call you?!' He screamed internally, mind raging as he grinned at the vermillionkin.
 
"OhthankallthegodsknowntomanandbeastyouareaBLESSING." Harrison blurts out, grabbing the Vermillionkin's hands and holding them in his grasp, head bowed. After a few seconds of this, he quickly let go, coughing awkwardly. Standing up and bundling his falafel wraps into his arms (Almost dropping one, luckily he fought it before it hit the pavement), he looks at the Verdantkin. "I know you just sat down and all but can we walk and talk? I'm probably already really late and I don't wanna be in trouble my first day." He implores, grinning awkwardly down at the Vermillionkin before trying to pick a piece of bread out from behind a tusk.
 
"Sure but I'd assume you are already late," Kodner replies, "Like school started a week ago." The then Verdantkin stood up waiting for the bear. Oh right. He ate the kebab. He ate it good.
