Big brother program? Fritz is a big brother in his family! He thought it was a sign up proclaiming he is a big brother. Stupid idea, but seeing as this is his first day at the Academy, maybe this was a school rule he needed to follow. Without reading the document, he saw the words Sign here and shoddily scribbled in his name. Assuming the next step was to grab a sign up form, he snagged the closest one he could reach, which happened to be the correct one, and filled it out accordingly...

Terra looked at the offer curiously, wondering exactly why one would need a big brother... but this was a week of fiestas, and she wanted to try it ALL!
I AM LOOKING FOR A BIG BROTHER/SISTER/SIBLING!
Student name: Terra Year: 1 What I hope to learn: Many, many things! Things I am interested in: fun, food, learning the culture, making new friends! (( OOC: How you can be reached: AIM - kiakruz, pm is fine too! Any OOC objectives you want/ goals for your character/ personality quirks you'd like others to know: Terra's from a little town based on Dia de los Muertos, and is related to Roch. She's pretty sweet and accepting, for the most part, but would love to run a little wild--she's been on her best behavior so far. (It fell thru, still looking!)

Anna looked at the form. She wasn't new, but... well, in a way, she was? Her memory from the last year was there, but at one remove, as if it had happened to someone else. Time to grab the dragon by the horns, right?
Decisively, before she could change her mind, she filled out the form.

Student name: Anna Walpurgis Year: 2 What I hope to learn: Everything!! I just don't know where to start! Things I am interested in: Magic, meeting people, just everything especially things I never thought of doing?? Brave things!! (( OOC: How you can be reached: PM me on Gaia, please! Any OOC objectives you want/ goals for your character/ personality quirks you'd like others to know: Anna just could really use a friend, someone to guide her - an older female mentor in particular could be awesome (or a guy to crush on, maybe? Haha.).
((Claimed!!))

During her whirlwind of activity, at some point Amarus decided that perhaps a good way to compensate for not seeing anyone around that she knew in quite a while would be to fill out a big brother form and submit it. Which she promptly did, as honestly as she possibly could. She couldn't help that she had started to ramble...
And she was kind of in a hurry, so her writing was not exactly pretty. It was evident by her form that she didn't particularly write things down a lot.
I AM LOOKING FOR A BIG BROTHER/SISTER/SIBLING!
Student name: Amarus Year: Y2 What I hope to learn: I would like to learn how to interact with others ... better. Or how to have fun without getting in trouble. Or how to have fun while getting in trouble even more efficiently. Alternatively, if you know the answer to what a soul is and whether or not we have them, I am also open to that. Things I am interested in: Fighting, climbing things. Baking (Xiu taught me!) ... Animals and plants are nice. Dancing was fun. Fighting, did I mention fighting? No one lets me fight them any more. (( OOC: How you can be reached: AIM: todearmylove, gaia via a PM. That's mostly it! Any OOC objectives you want/ goals for your character/ personality quirks you'd like others to know: Amarus just needs to collect ALL THE FRIENDS! Well, really she'd like to learn how to manage the recent problem of feeling emotions, and if that was learned via interaction that would be awesome. Anyway, a good friend would be awesome to have, she loves to try new things (even if they are not always successful) and she has a problem where a ton of stuff she interacts with ends up lit on fire (it has nothing to do with her subspecies or skillset, it's just.. she is accident prone; disaster-prone, even). Also her aura is great for anyone who'd like to calm down / relax their student, that is what she is best at.

Ol-j-man Well THIS encounter worked out rather snazzily xD;
Well, she hadn't thought she'd see someone she knew here-- not really. It was surprising to see Mort again, in a good way. She smiled, which she had been doing more often of late, and stepped briskly towards him. "A long while," she agreed, wrinkling her nose at him while smiling-- she was very happy, in fact, to see him, and he seemed to be much more confident in himself than he was before.
But was that... the smell of alcohol? Amarus sniffed, and arched her brows, deciding not to say anything. She tilted her head, bells ringing, and surprised herself with an attempt to hug Mort. Hugging was... new. An observed behaviour from Prom. She was not very good at it. But she meant well?
She stood back, and regarded him. "You grew up without me!" she teased, and then, "Ah, well... Perhaps I do not, but there are some social skills I still lack... and it would be nice, perhaps, to spend time with someone who is not me. Or my pets. Someone who can talk. In sentences. Ah, yes--" Admittedly, her pride was suffering a little to be caught admitting she needed help. Amarus sighed. "You're one of the 'big brothers,' I take it?" And she smiled again. "Naturally I would run into you, after all that time ago I asked you for answers then, too."

The heartiness of Mort's return on her hug investment made the Lotus Eater a lot less awkward. In fact, her aura glowed a little brighter to be hugging him like she was. "Not entirely different?" she prompted, at first, but then listened to what he had to say, and laughed. "Not good with animals, then, Mort," she said. Strangely enough, she often was good with animals. Or animals were good to her, one way or another. She loved Kettil's owl, but that owl was just generally sweet to students, she suspected.
"Tea Party? I... that sounds.. unpleasant... I wonder, though," she mused. Surely she would end up wandering into there, eventually. Wherever it was. "Did you pick a student to be a 'big brother' to yet, then? I don't know if it would be okay, but if you didn't..." She shrugged, and tilted her head at him again, "Want to be my 'big brother' for now?" she asked, clearly amused by the notion that Mort would be any kind of brother to her, or that she'd have a sibling in the first place. Even if that was just the name of the 'mentor' type figures who were meant to come here. "We could catch up on those things I've missed, and yes, I am still looking for answers."
Ol-j-man So do we assume that ... this is happening BEFORE the gym and they split up after and will reconvene at some point? xD
