Kuro turns his bored expression towards Zephyro, noting his...lavish outfit. When the elf mentions the song from earlier, he rolls his eyes muttering, "Looks like they're here." He snaps his notebook shut as soon as the elf glances towards it.
Letting out a huff, he hesitates. Why were all these people coming over? Were they just desperate to get out of here or something? That's fair...but why does it feel like he's being targeted? He scans Zim, then Zephyro, and lastly Zahira, his gaze shifting from bored to calculating.
Insight: 8
After a moment he asks, "You misunderstand. I have not agreed to anything as of yet." He almost brought up the fact that, aren't they supposed to be building a party based on their own strengths and weaknesses? Well, from the looks of it, there is a wizard, a bard, and... he frowns a little, trying to determine what Zahira is studying. Finally, he asks the question, "What makes you think you want me in your group anyways?"
Zahira, still embarrased from her previous conversation with Zephyro, tries to join the conversation in a more contained fashion. She didn't know about the musician just yet, but the hooded boy didn't seem particularly eager to join them, so she thought that a more calmed approach would probably yield better results that displaying her more ... energetic ... behaviour.
She addressed both the hooded boy and the musician firstly:
- Mmm, hello? May we know your names? - and then turned to the hooded boy - Well, answering your question: why not? - she said, smiling warmly - All students are required to form a group, so why not try the four of us? I'm pretty sure that after getting to know each other a little we could work just fine by studying what we are better at, don't you think? Shall we give it a try? Or... did you have other students in mind to form a party with?
Kuro blinks, his attention shifting to Zahira. He could come up with a hundred reasons why they wouldn't want him on their team...starting with his lack of interest in socializing. However, the other reasons were...not something he was particularly fond of talking about. Yet no matter what group he ends up with, all his blaring weaknesses were bound to come to light. It doesn't help that the very thing he's supposed to be good at is just another one of his embarrassments.
He lets out another sigh, pulling his hood back to reveal his thick black hair. It was getting hot, otherwise he would have left it on. Then, he pulls his backpack off and shoves his notebook back inside before looking back up at these strangers. It doesn't matter if they study what they are good at if what they are good at doesn't compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses. If Zephyro is a wizard, the last thing they needed was another spellcaste...right? Right. But he can't figure out what it is Zahira is studying based on her appearance...maybe she's a paladin for all he knows. If not, well, then this group definitely doesn't want someone as weak as him on their team. Oh well, if their group isn't balanced enough, then they won't be approved and they won't be able to leave anyways. He'll just...wait and see what happens. After a moment, he says in his quiet, monotone voice, "I'm Kuro. And, no. I don't."
His eyes drift downwards for a moment, but they quickly shift over to Zim. The bard had not given a name. Though, Kuro wouldn't blame him if he'd been turned off by his rude words. ...It wouldn't have been the first time Kuro's attitude turned someone away. Did he really care at the moment? Not really. But at the same time, if these three were desperate enough to group up with him then at least he could get out of this gym.
"I guess it doesn't matter to me who I group up with," He says, shifting his gaze downwards again as he hoists his backpack back over his shoulder. "So that's up to you three. If you still think you want me in your group."
Zahira isn't able to hear much before the speech had begun. She had heard a half of a sentence that bear any real meaning. A hushed whisper about something going missing but what that was? She couldn't catch, as for her study on Himari's spell she was sure it was a cantrip of sorts. She is able to however spot Himari and Arthur again but now they were talking to a young half elf boy with white hair and a young assimar woman (I put the pictures in the group chat so you guys know their appearance ^^)
The boy had a straight forward expression though a bit stand offish, while the woman had remained rather friendly standing by his side. It didn't appear they were even talking of a party, it seemed Arthur was simply making conversation with others as friendly as he seemed.
When Zahira shares both numbers with Zephyro instead of just Arthur's. There is something Zephyro is able to notice rather quickly about Himari's number. She is already in his contact list! Under "Twilight" it would appear.
Through the speech when Zahira had almost laughed a bit too loud, she would have gained the principals glance and a soft smile before his rather eccentric exit.
It seems Zephyro's senses were rather sharp today in finding Kuro by his lonesome rather quickly!
Zim/Kuro
(You can roll perception to see if you spot the horned youth ^^)
Zim had an eye out for the horned youth from earlier he appeared rather charismatic and maybe such a figure would grab some attention? It seemed Zim was already off to an eventful day!
Kuro himself had stood rather lonely, Zim had a few kids that were coming to approach his way until they had seen him talking with Kuro instead. The kids had instead offered a wave to Zim before heading off to look for perhaps another group.
Formed At Last
(You all can roll deception against Kuro's insight!)
Zephyro had received a text, as he approached this new group. He would have to view his crystal of course to see whatever it may have been. (Upon looking at it I'll PM you what was sent.)
Zahira as well had received a few messages likely from her new comrades. Kuro had stated of course that he did not agree to anything but it was quick before many of the students were already leaving the gym. Leaving fewer and fewer students left to choose from for the rest.
They had a group of four now, and be it now or on a later date if Zahira wanted additional members they had two slots open. Or maybe in time they will come to prefer a smaller group as it seems they now had a introvert in their ranks. Only time would tell what this party would do.
OOC Zephyro will pay 2 gold pieces for today's special! However he will gain a D10 for inspiration instead of the D6 I had mentioned before ^^
If I missed anything else let me know but feel free to roleplay post back and forth a bit. No need to wait for me if it's just you're character's talking and such it is their first meeting for most of them! Aside from Zephyro/Zahira
- Kuro - Zahira repeated, smiling a little more cheerfully than a few moments ago - Nice to meet you, Kuro. And you, too...mmmm... -she then turns to the musician boy, awaiting his name.
Then she adds:
- Can I ask what classes have you guys joined? I will be studying Artificery! So I'll will be messing up a little with magic, but in a particular and a little different way to other magic users, I guess.
She seems eager to know a little more about them and though she has a ton of questions in her mind she waits before asking them all. She doesn't want to scare them away, specially Kuro.
The genasi girl notices that she has received a few messages in her Crystal, but doesn't read them just yet. She'll wait after confirming the party is finally formed.
OOC: no deception roll from me, Zahira has no issue saying what she's studying! :)
Zephyro blinks, he was not expecting the dark haired boy to react like this. He had simply thought the boy was to shy to make the first move. He had not considered that maybe he just didn't want to be in a group. Maybe he would have been better off sticking with Arthur and Himari. "Himari, she's really Twilight?" Out of all the people he could have met on his first day. He feels his crystal vibrate. Who could that be?
"Great! Mind if I ask what you are studying?" He asks Kuro, while still maintaining his enthusiasm, even if it's a bit forced. "And what about you? I can guess that you are a bard, but do you want to join us?" He asks the half-elf. "If you both join, we'll have two extra spots."He glances at Zahira when he says this. She had clearly wanted Arthur and Himari in their group, and he couldn't help but feel bad for trying to take that away from her. Of course, now that he knows Himari's identity, he's a bit more open to the idea. "Why did Arthur have to be a Chevalier? No. Why did his parent's have to keep forcing him to get together with girls he doesn't even know?"
As it seems like this boy doesn't care about much. Zephyro doesn't feel bad about pulling out his crystal, while he waits for the bard to answer. Depending on the text, he may or may not answer it, but he does want to know who'd be texting him while he's at school. At the moment there's only two people he knows that might do that.
At Zephyro's mention of the extra slots, Zahira's expression brightens even more:
- Oh, we could ask .... ?- but she doesn't finish her sentence, turning instead to Kuro and the bard again wonderingly and checking how they react. She didn't want to impose right away again and maybe they preferred to be in a party of just four members.
At the hooded youth's comment, Zim blinked. "Fan Club...?" he muttered in mild wonder as he turned his head to see the two approaching and the smattering of people waving to him. Purely by reaction he gave an acknowledging, yet still cordial, wave to those behind the two who were now only a few paces away. While doing so, he also realized that he probably appeared as though he was inviting the newcomers in to this.... conversation? Oh well, everything was going according to how he imagined it anyway, so the more the merrier! Zim stood and put on a bright smile to welcome the air genasi and elf who were now upon them.
Zim's ears turned pink at the mention of the earlier kerfuffle. Zephyro and Zaharia, huh? Well, whether they did or did not all end up in a group, the sullen one was bound to catch some Z's. The amusing thought took the edge off from the brash rebuke from the first boy. It seemed as though he had missed his moment to jump in with his own word, but the exchange between Zaharia and Kuro (he gathered) had seemed to require no need for any current interjection. He took the moment before needing to respond, while yet still listening, to commit to his earlier instinct to spy out his musical senpai. Success! Zim allowed himself, against all of his instincts and training, to give the older boy a salute with a slightly shaken fist that raised no higher than his hair-line. Whew, just what had come over him today?? "He was no wild elf, after all."
Oops, it seemed as though he missed his queue again. So much so, that it appears that Zaharia was waiting for his response directly, while Zephyro had abandoned him completely to look into his phone. Zim's ears were simply scarlet at this point. "So you've screwed up, now own it and start over."He took, and released a breath along with some nerves. Relying on his formal training since all else had failed him so far, Zim laid his hand upon the center of his chest and bowed partially to Kuro; and then to the two together.
"I've really blundered horribly here, please forgive my rudeness. My name is Zim..." He faltered a moment and looked as though he meant to say more. He resumed, "Yes, I do plan to study as a bard. I expect it shall be an interesting year." He shuddered involuntarily. "If he'll forgive me saying so, I'm of the same mind as Kuro here." He gestured with the hand he had held to his chest and then let it hang at his side. "I think that it doesn't really matter who I find myself in a team with. So long as they participate," He cocked a questioning eyebrow in Kuro's direction, "We really should get used to cooperating with a myriad of different types of individuals." With the same salute he gave before, Zim bowed a hair-with deeper to them as he had before, "I gratefully accept your invitation to be in a group together. So, does anyone know what we do next?"
(OOC: Oh sorry I should have clarified what that insight check was for. Kuro was just trying to get an idea as to why you three would single him out to be a group member.)
Kuro ignores Zim's questioning look. He doesn't really care if the bard thinks he won't participate... he'll do what it takes to pass and that's it. The only reason he cares enough to do that much is because he knows his mother doesn't like listening to Father yelling at him. Kuro can ignore it, but she can't.
He lets out another sigh, tilting his tired expression up to look at Zahira, "I'm a sorcerer." He wishes that he could have just...not said that. But they were going to find out anyways so he might as well spit it out now.
He looks at Zephiro, who hadn't said what he was studying yet. He doesn't ask though, instead shrugging as if he'd answered a question for himself. He doesn't give any sort of reaction to Zephiro and Zahira's talk of gaining more members...indicating that he really doesn't care.
When Zim asks what they should do next, Kuro pulls his hood back on, "I don't know...Leave the building?" He's clearly ready to get out of the gym...though he has no clue what they are supposed to do afterwards.
"Thank you, Kuro." Zim said in a way that matched the tone of the unenthused youth perfectly- if the half elf did so think himself; and he did. "Please everyone, if you will just excuse me for a moment, there is someone I would like to try to talk to." Zim uses disengage (because it's funny) to take leave of the group, but added, "I really do look forward to whatever is next. Thank you again for letting me join. I'll be right back, or I can just catch up to wherever you are. This should only take a minute."
Zim heads over in the direction he had spotted his musical senpai. Perhaps he could get some information about how to survive a year under the tutelage of this Roger....person.
- Nice to meet you, Zim! - Zahira answers, happy to see that at least one of their two new companions is friendly aaaaand talkative.
When Kuro reveals his nature her eyes widen, and as a magic student herself wonders how he got his powers.
- A sorcerer! That's cool! And how did you get...?- she, again, stops mid sentence - Never mind, you'll probably prefer not to answer, hehe..
"It's ok. Perhaps with time he'll open up a little", she thinks.
Seeing that none of them have any opinion about adding new members, her face turns to Zephyro again:
- So...shall we ask Arthur and Himari? Do you prefer staying as it is? I won't mind if you prefer that it's only the for of us, really- she says, placing her hand in his arm for a couple of seconds, to demonstrate that she's being sincere - I'ld love to have them, but I don't want to impose. I can always see them in the hallways or even during our free hours outside the Academy - "...probably?", she adds to herself.
In any case, the genasi is happy that the second task of the day - forming the party - is finally done.
(Either we speak to Arthur/Himari or not, Zahira will check her messages on her way outside the gym.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Party
As the group begins to discuss about what is next perhaps they can recall that for the first day they may do as they desire. Be it touring the school or bonding in the town, all that was suggested was that they do so as a party so that they may trust one another when the time comes to call upon one another for aid.
Zahira and Zephyro may also check their text in this free moment, Zahira had done so herself (I'll PM those after this ^^)
Many parties appeared to be forming, it seemed when Zim saw the horned youth he was talking to a man in a black jacket. He appeared to have a saber at one side and a fire arm hoilstered at the other, he seemed around the horned youth's age so perhaps a senior as well. It was strange as the two of them were alone in speaking lacking a full party it would seem.
Put your spoiler here.
(Appearance of the student the youth is talking to)
As Zim began to "disengage" from the conversation he comes toward the youth. The man had turned (unless he rolls for stealth) to see Zim. A bright smile across his face as he waved back at him.
"Ahh hey! This is the guy I was talking to you about! He's a real character, came in with a tune and everything. I just.. Couldn't help but join ya know?"
The dark haired youth had raised an eyebrow as he began to look at Zim attempting to get a gauge of his stance,expression and other subtle twitches.

(Insight roll above)

(His deception roll to hide the fact he is scanning Zim over)
The young man in the jacket had smiled glancing his eyes subtly over Zim's person as he offered a rather formal handshake.
"Sakomoto, Sakomoto Sato it's an honor."
"Ahh and I'm Aros Featherblade! Not that my surname means much ahaha. So just call me Aro's!"
The horned young man had chuckled while rubbing the back of his head lightly. It seemed now he was more equipped for an adventure himself with a rapier at his side and a shield strapped to his arm.
"I hate to ruin the mood upon a first meeting but, have you heard of a student named Ethan Walker? He's a tiefling that shows up here at the academy sometimes, when he feels like attending classes. Avoid him if you can all right? You seem like a good guy, I assure you this isn't because of his race or anything so simple. He's trouble and it's probably best you avoid it."
Despite being a student he had spoken with a strange air of authority for a moment before returning to a casual smile. Stranger still was it seemed Aros was used to a simple student speaking with that air of authority.
Zahira
If Zahira desires to do so or convinces her party she can still find Himari and Arthur both talking to these students. The dragonborn vice principal Giovanni was still lurking about as time began to pass. He had started to help a lot of the straggling kids behind who could not find themselves a party.
OOC Again if I forgot someone/an action. Just let me know ^~^
Zephyro looks up from his crystal when Zim talks. Though his mind is still elsewhere, he tries to focus on the half-elf in front of him. "Well, that answers that question."He thinks to himself, mind still focused on the text message. Unfortunately, due to his lack of focus, Zephyro doesn't respond to either of his new acquaintances until after Zim announces that he'll 'be right back'. He blinks as the half-elf walks away, to slow to stop him, "Well," he starts, "I was going to ask him for his contact info, but I suppose I'll just do that when he comes back."He turns to Kuro, "Mind if I get yours?"
He glances down at Zahira when she touches his arm. Then he glances from Kuro to Zim, who is currently speaking with two other students. He's not sure if the half-elf really was super happy about joining their party. "No thanks to you idiot. You should have said something else instead of looking at your crystal." But Kuro, clearly doesn't want to be here. He has no doubt that adding a few more members, would probably benefit the party. "You're going to have to talk to them again eventually. Might as well do it before it becomes even more awkward." He looks back at the genasi, "I really don't mind." He replies smiling, "If you want to ask them, let's grab Zim's number first though. Unless you want to go ask them without me. I don't want to just disappear when he's not looking..."He looks down at Kuro. "Are you coming with us? Or is there something else you want to do?"
When waiting for a break in Zim's conversation with the other two student's, Zephyro types a quick response to the text message.
Kuro gives Zim a blank look, clearly not enthused or really offended by the bard's imitation of his voice. He watches the other students leave for a moment before turning his attention back to Zahira since she was talking to him.
He doesn't really understand her reaction to finding out he's a sorcerer...but it does bother him a little. Just because he says he's a sorcerer doesn't mean he's good one. Then again, if his father isn't exaggerating, sorcerers are supposed to be special. Kuro never really understood this since, sure, they have the natural ability to cast spells, but...more then half of the world's population can do magic of some sort. Whether it be through racial inheritance, studying spell books, or...making pacts with supernatural beings, most people can get their hands on powers somehow. So what was so special about being born with them? ...well, supposedly some sorcerers get them other ways...which further proves Kuro's point. ...he's not special. Regardless, he's glad that she decides not to ask the question because as she rightly guessed, he would not have answered it.
When Zephiro asks for his contact, he blinks and nearly says 'Is that necessary?' but realizes that it probably is. How else would he find these people next time they are required to meet up? So, he shrugs and pulls out his Crystal to show his contact information...he hadn't intended to show his surname, but it was a bit late for that...and there wasn't any good way to hide it when its shown on the screen. Oh well, hopefully these two are out of the loop enough that his father's name doesn't mean anything to them.
When the 'wizard' asks if Kuro is going to go with them, he sighs... he doesn't really want to, but he also doesn't have anything else to do here. If he shows up at home before school hours are over, then Father will have a fit and he'll probably get a lecture from Mother about making friends afterwards. So...maybe just following these people around will be the better option. Hopefully they don't decide to go on any long walks. He really doesn't want to do anymore walking before having to walk all the way home. So he say's finally, "It doesn't matter to me."
- Sure, let's get Zim's contact and then we'll speak to Arthur and Hima - without thinking, she's already given the changeling a shorter name! - Ah! By the way! Why don't we just create a Crystal group? - imagining how Kuro will react she turns to him and quickly adds - It's a question of being practical! You wouldn't want having to tell us something and needing to write it thrice, right?
She grabs her Crystal, copies Kuro's contact and in the blink of an eye she creates the group. It is called "KZZZ". It still needs the addition of Zim, but they will solve that right away.
- "KZZZ", hehe! Three of us have a name starting with an uncommon consonant, how weird is that? And of course the K is the first because Kuro will be our leader, right? - she laughs and then adds - Just joking, just joking! Mmm, guess we'll have to edit the group title if Arthur and Hima accept to join us.
When she created the group she has seen that she has a few messages. Arthur, Hima, Uncle Plash, and ... awww ... Tobey! She'll answer them when she has a quieter moment.
Kuro stares at his crystal for a moment, blinking as the group chat pops up on the screen. The chat title shows up, but the two numbers that appear are both...well just plain numbers. He glances upwards as Zahira says something about him being leader..****y to say she was joking. ...was that supposed to be funny? He raises an eyebrow but otherwise doesn't comment. Instead, he says, "You are going to have to give your names on the text. Otherwise I can't tell who's number is whose." He almost hadn't bothered to say that, as he has a feeling it will be pretty easy to tell who is who based on writing patterns. But that would take a few messages to confirm, which is longer then he feels necessary to wait.
After Zephyro finishes typing in Kuro's contact he says, "That's a great idea!"He laughs when she says the title, "Haha, sounds shocking."He nods to the dark haired boy when he asks for their names, "Alright, let's grab our musician friend's number real quick, then I'll put my name on the chat so you both have it. Then you won't have two messages that say the same thing." He grins at Kuro before turning to make his way over to Zim.
He offers Zim's companions a friendly wave as he approaches, "Hey, sorry to intrude, just wanted to let Zim know that the rest of us might be going outside." He looks at the half-elf, "I also wanted to get your contact info real quick? I meant to ask earlier but I was a bit...well out of it. Anyways, we made a group chat and want to add you."
Hearing the genasi after he had turned away, Zim looked back to give her a pleased smile. "Pleasure to meet you too, Zahira!" Zim held his smile after turning back to his original direction. They seemed like a lovely bunch, the lot of them. Even Kuro. As Zim headed toward his target, he noticed the other young man with the air of authority. He was glad he had been seen and was well received. He took the offered hand into his own and met his eyes, but he was only able to sneak in a quick "Zim Badabim,"before this Satomoto continued.
"Ethan Walker?" Zim drew a complete blank. "No, I haven't heard the name before. With the way this day has gone so far, however, I wouldn't be surprised if I were to run into him directly after leaving this gym. I'm only joking, of course." He wished he were only joking. "I will be sure to keep your advice in mind." Zim didn't like the idea of anyone telling him who he should and shouldn't involve himself with, but if Aros seemed okay with this guy, then maybe he could at least be a bit cautious.
"So your name is Aros," Zim said triumphantly. "As you may have gathered already, my name is Zim. We hadn't the opportunity to speak earlier. Are you also training as a bard? I thought I might ask you if you have any advice on how to go about doing well here as a first year?"
At this, Zim became aware of Zephyro joining the conversation. He really didn't mean to make everyone wait. Hopefully he could make arrangements with Aros to meet up or something later. Maybe this was all a mistake. "Not at all! I apologize again for heading off like that. Yes, of course. Here is my crystal." Zim passes the device over to Zephyro and thinks that maybe he should just try to do the same with Aros.
"Please excuse me, where have my manners gone? Zephyro, this is Aros Featherblade and Satomoto Sato. Gentlemen, this is one of my group members, Zephyro Zim says as he gestures to each in kind. "You haven't heard of this Ethan Walker person, have you?"
While Zehpyro is checking on Zim, Zahira thinks of using these minutes to reply to the texts she has received.
(OOC: not sure if Kuro has followed Zephyro, but given his reluctance to meeting new people, I'm guessing he hasn't.).
- Kuro, I'll check my messages for a few minutes and be back in a couple of minutes, ok? By the way, my number is this one - she says, pointing to her number the dark haired boy's crystal and thus answering his question.
She then moves a few steps away and begins typing, starting with the one's she's received from her family.
To Tobias: "Hey, my little blueberry! Thanks for your wishes! The day started a bit bad because your stupid big sis overselpt, but I managed to arrive on time and also to sign for my classes and actually form a party! I've been able to meet quite a few nice persons, so I'm happy. Don't worry, muffin, you'll be able to hold a sword with time. This I promise. You know, uncle Plash and I are always thinking of you and will do whatever is in our power so you can have the ability to do whatever you want instead of needing to spend so much time at home, ok? I miss you too and will go visit as soon as I can. Aaaaaaaaaaaand, don't think we've forgotten about your upcoming birthday, hehehe. You're gonna love your presents *amaji of a heart*! Gotta leave you for now, but I'll text you later! Byeee"
To uncle Plash: "Hi! Oh, were mum and dad visiting, too? I hope they were not too bitter about my studing to be an Artificer and not a Knight, as they wanted * sad amaji *. I hope they'll understand someday. And yes, DEFINITELY, we will do everything we can to help Tobey. That's why I'll be studying in Rising Dawn, am I right? To get to know as much as you do so I can help you even more! *amaji of a flexing arm. (A blue arm, by the way. Air/Water Genasi style!) * I'll see you later at home. By the way, everything is going well so far in my first day and I'm meeting a bunch of interesting people! I've managed to sing up for the Artificer class and formed a party already! *amaji of a happy cheerful face* Love you!"
To Himari: "Hi, Hima! (Well, mind if I call you that? I hope I'm not being TOO familiar here!) Don't worry, it's not weird that you've texted me already. Thank you for your good luck wishes, you're a sunshine! I've indeed formed a party... I'll tell you more later! Be seeing and reading you! *smiling amaji* ( the genasi does not add anything else for the moment. Who knows, maybe Hima will end up in her party too!).
To Arthur:
At this point, the genasi girl giggles a little. Then realizes she's giggling and that she must look stupid to the outside world, so she says to herself: "Please, girl, FOCUS. You've just met him and he's a Chevalier. Don't get your hopes up."
She writes, and deletes, and writes, trying to explain the paladin the reason why Himari's told him that he shouldn't say how cute the genasi girl is so soon after meeting her. But, that is too complicated for a text message. So in the end she writes:
"Hi, Arthur! Regarding Himari, I think that is easier to explain that face to face. Better than that a text the size of Spiral's Constitution, am I right? Haha! So why don't we just hang out someday, as you said, and talk about this and that? And we can see the town and have a nice time together! We can tell other friends to join if you want. Ooooor not? As you wish. Really, I'm fine either way. Not scared of a paladin such as you, you know? I'm an artificer, I can wield magic! I'm stroooong. Hahahah *smiling amaji* *blue flexing arm amaji* "
She writes pretty quickly, so in five/ten minutes she's back with Kuro.
Kuro turns his bored expression towards Zephyro, noting his...lavish outfit. When the elf mentions the song from earlier, he rolls his eyes muttering, "Looks like they're here." He snaps his notebook shut as soon as the elf glances towards it.
Letting out a huff, he hesitates. Why were all these people coming over? Were they just desperate to get out of here or something? That's fair...but why does it feel like he's being targeted? He scans Zim, then Zephyro, and lastly Zahira, his gaze shifting from bored to calculating.

After a moment he asks, "You misunderstand. I have not agreed to anything as of yet."

Peindre l'amour, peindre la vie, pleurer en couleur ♫
Auriel | Shenua | Arren | Lyra
Kuro blinks, his attention shifting to Zahira. He could come up with a hundred reasons why they wouldn't want him on their team...starting with his lack of interest in socializing. However, the other reasons were...not something he was particularly fond of talking about. Yet no matter what group he ends up with, all his blaring weaknesses were bound to come to light. It doesn't help that the very thing he's supposed to be good at is just another one of his embarrassments.
He lets out another sigh, pulling his hood back to reveal his thick black hair. It was getting hot, otherwise he would have left it on. Then, he pulls his backpack off and shoves his notebook back inside before looking back up at these strangers. It doesn't matter if they study what they are good at if what they are good at doesn't compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses. If Zephyro is a wizard, the last thing they needed was another spellcaste...right? Right. But he can't figure out what it is Zahira is studying based on her appearance...maybe she's a paladin for all he knows. If not, well, then this group definitely doesn't want someone as weak as him on their team. Oh well, if their group isn't balanced enough, then they won't be approved and they won't be able to leave anyways. He'll just...wait and see what happens. After a moment, he says in his quiet, monotone voice, "I'm Kuro. And, no. I don't."
His eyes drift downwards for a moment, but they quickly shift over to Zim. The bard had not given a name. Though, Kuro wouldn't blame him if he'd been turned off by his rude words. ...It wouldn't have been the first time Kuro's attitude turned someone away. Did he really care at the moment? Not really. But at the same time, if these three were desperate enough to group up with him then at least he could get out of this gym.
"I guess it doesn't matter to me who I group up with," He says, shifting his gaze downwards again as he hoists his backpack back over his shoulder. "So that's up to you three. If you still think you want me in your group."
Zephyro/Zahira
Zahira isn't able to hear much before the speech had begun. She had heard a half of a sentence that bear any real meaning. A hushed whisper about something going missing but what that was? She couldn't catch, as for her study on Himari's spell she was sure it was a cantrip of sorts. She is able to however spot Himari and Arthur again but now they were talking to a young half elf boy with white hair and a young assimar woman (I put the pictures in the group chat so you guys know their appearance ^^)
The boy had a straight forward expression though a bit stand offish, while the woman had remained rather friendly standing by his side. It didn't appear they were even talking of a party, it seemed Arthur was simply making conversation with others as friendly as he seemed.
When Zahira shares both numbers with Zephyro instead of just Arthur's. There is something Zephyro is able to notice rather quickly about Himari's number. She is already in his contact list! Under "Twilight" it would appear.
Through the speech when Zahira had almost laughed a bit too loud, she would have gained the principals glance and a soft smile before his rather eccentric exit.
It seems Zephyro's senses were rather sharp today in finding Kuro by his lonesome rather quickly!
Zim/Kuro
(You can roll perception to see if you spot the horned youth ^^)
Zim had an eye out for the horned youth from earlier he appeared rather charismatic and maybe such a figure would grab some attention? It seemed Zim was already off to an eventful day!
Kuro himself had stood rather lonely, Zim had a few kids that were coming to approach his way until they had seen him talking with Kuro instead. The kids had instead offered a wave to Zim before heading off to look for perhaps another group.
Formed At Last
(You all can roll deception against Kuro's insight!)
Zephyro had received a text, as he approached this new group. He would have to view his crystal of course to see whatever it may have been. (Upon looking at it I'll PM you what was sent.)
Zahira as well had received a few messages likely from her new comrades. Kuro had stated of course that he did not agree to anything but it was quick before many of the students were already leaving the gym. Leaving fewer and fewer students left to choose from for the rest.
They had a group of four now, and be it now or on a later date if Zahira wanted additional members they had two slots open. Or maybe in time they will come to prefer a smaller group as it seems they now had a introvert in their ranks. Only time would tell what this party would do.
OOC
Zephyro will pay 2 gold pieces for today's special! However he will gain a D10 for inspiration instead of the D6 I had mentioned before ^^
If I missed anything else let me know but feel free to roleplay post back and forth a bit. No need to wait for me if it's just you're character's talking and such it is their first meeting for most of them! Aside from Zephyro/Zahira
- Kuro - Zahira repeated, smiling a little more cheerfully than a few moments ago - Nice to meet you, Kuro. And you, too... mmmm... -she then turns to the musician boy, awaiting his name.
Then she adds:
- Can I ask what classes have you guys joined? I will be studying Artificery! So I'll will be messing up a little with magic, but in a particular and a little different way to other magic users, I guess.
She seems eager to know a little more about them and though she has a ton of questions in her mind she waits before asking them all. She doesn't want to scare them away, specially Kuro.
The genasi girl notices that she has received a few messages in her Crystal, but doesn't read them just yet. She'll wait after confirming the party is finally formed.
OOC: no deception roll from me, Zahira has no issue saying what she's studying! :)

Zephyro blinks, he was not expecting the dark haired boy to react like this. He had simply thought the boy was to shy to make the first move. He had not considered that maybe he just didn't want to be in a group. Maybe he would have been better off sticking with Arthur and Himari. "Himari, she's really Twilight?" Out of all the people he could have met on his first day. He feels his crystal vibrate. Who could that be?
"Great! Mind if I ask what you are studying?" He asks Kuro, while still maintaining his enthusiasm, even if it's a bit forced. "And what about you? I can guess that you are a bard, but do you want to join us?" He asks the half-elf. "If you both join, we'll have two extra spots." He glances at Zahira when he says this. She had clearly wanted Arthur and Himari in their group, and he couldn't help but feel bad for trying to take that away from her. Of course, now that he knows Himari's identity, he's a bit more open to the idea. "Why did Arthur have to be a Chevalier? No. Why did his parent's have to keep forcing him to get together with girls he doesn't even know?"
As it seems like this boy doesn't care about much. Zephyro doesn't feel bad about pulling out his crystal, while he waits for the bard to answer. Depending on the text, he may or may not answer it, but he does want to know who'd be texting him while he's at school. At the moment there's only two people he knows that might do that.
At Zephyro's mention of the extra slots, Zahira's expression brightens even more:
- Oh, we could ask .... ? - but she doesn't finish her sentence, turning instead to Kuro and the bard again wonderingly and checking how they react. She didn't want to impose right away again and maybe they preferred to be in a party of just four members.

Zim's perception to find the horned senpai: 19
(working on my post. not sure what to do if any more happens before I'm done lol)
At the hooded youth's comment, Zim blinked. "Fan Club...?" he muttered in mild wonder as he turned his head to see the two approaching and the smattering of people waving to him. Purely by reaction he gave an acknowledging, yet still cordial, wave to those behind the two who were now only a few paces away. While doing so, he also realized that he probably appeared as though he was inviting the newcomers in to this.... conversation? Oh well, everything was going according to how he imagined it anyway, so the more the merrier! Zim stood and put on a bright smile to welcome the air genasi and elf who were now upon them.
Zim's ears turned pink at the mention of the earlier kerfuffle. Zephyro and Zaharia, huh? Well, whether they did or did not all end up in a group, the sullen one was bound to catch some Z's. The amusing thought took the edge off from the brash rebuke from the first boy. It seemed as though he had missed his moment to jump in with his own word, but the exchange between Zaharia and Kuro (he gathered) had seemed to require no need for any current interjection. He took the moment before needing to respond, while yet still listening, to commit to his earlier instinct to spy out his musical senpai. Success! Zim allowed himself, against all of his instincts and training, to give the older boy a salute with a slightly shaken fist that raised no higher than his hair-line. Whew, just what had come over him today?? "He was no wild elf, after all."
Oops, it seemed as though he missed his queue again. So much so, that it appears that Zaharia was waiting for his response directly, while Zephyro had abandoned him completely to look into his phone. Zim's ears were simply scarlet at this point. "So you've screwed up, now own it and start over." He took, and released a breath along with some nerves. Relying on his formal training since all else had failed him so far, Zim laid his hand upon the center of his chest and bowed partially to Kuro; and then to the two together.
"I've really blundered horribly here, please forgive my rudeness. My name is Zim..." He faltered a moment and looked as though he meant to say more. He resumed, "Yes, I do plan to study as a bard. I expect it shall be an interesting year." He shuddered involuntarily. "If he'll forgive me saying so, I'm of the same mind as Kuro here." He gestured with the hand he had held to his chest and then let it hang at his side. "I think that it doesn't really matter who I find myself in a team with. So long as they participate," He cocked a questioning eyebrow in Kuro's direction, "We really should get used to cooperating with a myriad of different types of individuals." With the same salute he gave before, Zim bowed a hair-with deeper to them as he had before, "I gratefully accept your invitation to be in a group together. So, does anyone know what we do next?"
(OOC: Oh sorry I should have clarified what that insight check was for. Kuro was just trying to get an idea as to why you three would single him out to be a group member.)
Kuro ignores Zim's questioning look. He doesn't really care if the bard thinks he won't participate... he'll do what it takes to pass and that's it. The only reason he cares enough to do that much is because he knows his mother doesn't like listening to Father yelling at him. Kuro can ignore it, but she can't.
He lets out another sigh, tilting his tired expression up to look at Zahira, "I'm a sorcerer." He wishes that he could have just...not said that. But they were going to find out anyways so he might as well spit it out now.
He looks at Zephiro, who hadn't said what he was studying yet. He doesn't ask though, instead shrugging as if he'd answered a question for himself. He doesn't give any sort of reaction to Zephiro and Zahira's talk of gaining more members...indicating that he really doesn't care.
When Zim asks what they should do next, Kuro pulls his hood back on, "I don't know...Leave the building?" He's clearly ready to get out of the gym...though he has no clue what they are supposed to do afterwards.
"Thank you, Kuro." Zim said in a way that matched the tone of the unenthused youth perfectly- if the half elf did so think himself; and he did. "Please everyone, if you will just excuse me for a moment, there is someone I would like to try to talk to." Zim uses disengage (because it's funny) to take leave of the group, but added, "I really do look forward to whatever is next. Thank you again for letting me join. I'll be right back, or I can just catch up to wherever you are. This should only take a minute."
Zim heads over in the direction he had spotted his musical senpai. Perhaps he could get some information about how to survive a year under the tutelage of this Roger....person.
- Nice to meet you, Zim! - Zahira answers, happy to see that at least one of their two new companions is friendly aaaaand talkative.
When Kuro reveals his nature her eyes widen, and as a magic student herself wonders how he got his powers.
- A sorcerer! That's cool! And how did you get...? - she, again, stops mid sentence - Never mind, you'll probably prefer not to answer, hehe..
"It's ok. Perhaps with time he'll open up a little", she thinks.
Seeing that none of them have any opinion about adding new members, her face turns to Zephyro again:
- So...shall we ask Arthur and Himari? Do you prefer staying as it is? I won't mind if you prefer that it's only the for of us, really - she says, placing her hand in his arm for a couple of seconds, to demonstrate that she's being sincere - I'ld love to have them, but I don't want to impose. I can always see them in the hallways or even during our free hours outside the Academy - "...probably?", she adds to herself.
In any case, the genasi is happy that the second task of the day - forming the party - is finally done.
(Either we speak to Arthur/Himari or not, Zahira will check her messages on her way outside the gym.)

Party
As the group begins to discuss about what is next perhaps they can recall that for the first day they may do as they desire. Be it touring the school or bonding in the town, all that was suggested was that they do so as a party so that they may trust one another when the time comes to call upon one another for aid.
Zahira and Zephyro may also check their text in this free moment, Zahira had done so herself (I'll PM those after this ^^)
Many parties appeared to be forming, it seemed when Zim saw the horned youth he was talking to a man in a black jacket. He appeared to have a saber at one side and a fire arm hoilstered at the other, he seemed around the horned youth's age so perhaps a senior as well. It was strange as the two of them were alone in speaking lacking a full party it would seem.
Put your spoiler here.
(Appearance of the student the youth is talking to)
As Zim began to "disengage" from the conversation he comes toward the youth. The man had turned (unless he rolls for stealth) to see Zim. A bright smile across his face as he waved back at him.
"Ahh hey! This is the guy I was talking to you about! He's a real character, came in with a tune and everything. I just.. Couldn't help but join ya know?"
The dark haired youth had raised an eyebrow as he began to look at Zim attempting to get a gauge of his stance,expression and other subtle twitches.
10
(Insight roll above)
15
(His deception roll to hide the fact he is scanning Zim over)
The young man in the jacket had smiled glancing his eyes subtly over Zim's person as he offered a rather formal handshake.
"Sakomoto, Sakomoto Sato it's an honor."
"Ahh and I'm Aros Featherblade! Not that my surname means much ahaha. So just call me Aro's!"
The horned young man had chuckled while rubbing the back of his head lightly. It seemed now he was more equipped for an adventure himself with a rapier at his side and a shield strapped to his arm.
"I hate to ruin the mood upon a first meeting but, have you heard of a student named Ethan Walker? He's a tiefling that shows up here at the academy sometimes, when he feels like attending classes. Avoid him if you can all right? You seem like a good guy, I assure you this isn't because of his race or anything so simple. He's trouble and it's probably best you avoid it."
Despite being a student he had spoken with a strange air of authority for a moment before returning to a casual smile. Stranger still was it seemed Aros was used to a simple student speaking with that air of authority.
Zahira
If Zahira desires to do so or convinces her party she can still find Himari and Arthur both talking to these students. The dragonborn vice principal Giovanni was still lurking about as time began to pass. He had started to help a lot of the straggling kids behind who could not find themselves a party.
OOC
Again if I forgot someone/an action. Just let me know ^~^
Zephyro looks up from his crystal when Zim talks. Though his mind is still elsewhere, he tries to focus on the half-elf in front of him. "Well, that answers that question." He thinks to himself, mind still focused on the text message. Unfortunately, due to his lack of focus, Zephyro doesn't respond to either of his new acquaintances until after Zim announces that he'll 'be right back'. He blinks as the half-elf walks away, to slow to stop him, "Well," he starts, "I was going to ask him for his contact info, but I suppose I'll just do that when he comes back." He turns to Kuro, "Mind if I get yours?"
He glances down at Zahira when she touches his arm. Then he glances from Kuro to Zim, who is currently speaking with two other students. He's not sure if the half-elf really was super happy about joining their party. "No thanks to you idiot. You should have said something else instead of looking at your crystal." But Kuro, clearly doesn't want to be here. He has no doubt that adding a few more members, would probably benefit the party. "You're going to have to talk to them again eventually. Might as well do it before it becomes even more awkward." He looks back at the genasi, "I really don't mind." He replies smiling, "If you want to ask them, let's grab Zim's number first though. Unless you want to go ask them without me. I don't want to just disappear when he's not looking..." He looks down at Kuro. "Are you coming with us? Or is there something else you want to do?"
When waiting for a break in Zim's conversation with the other two student's, Zephyro types a quick response to the text message.
Kuro gives Zim a blank look, clearly not enthused or really offended by the bard's imitation of his voice. He watches the other students leave for a moment before turning his attention back to Zahira since she was talking to him.
He doesn't really understand her reaction to finding out he's a sorcerer...but it does bother him a little. Just because he says he's a sorcerer doesn't mean he's good one. Then again, if his father isn't exaggerating, sorcerers are supposed to be special. Kuro never really understood this since, sure, they have the natural ability to cast spells, but...more then half of the world's population can do magic of some sort. Whether it be through racial inheritance, studying spell books, or...making pacts with supernatural beings, most people can get their hands on powers somehow. So what was so special about being born with them? ...well, supposedly some sorcerers get them other ways...which further proves Kuro's point. ...he's not special. Regardless, he's glad that she decides not to ask the question because as she rightly guessed, he would not have answered it.
When Zephiro asks for his contact, he blinks and nearly says 'Is that necessary?' but realizes that it probably is. How else would he find these people next time they are required to meet up? So, he shrugs and pulls out his Crystal to show his contact information...he hadn't intended to show his surname, but it was a bit late for that...and there wasn't any good way to hide it when its shown on the screen. Oh well, hopefully these two are out of the loop enough that his father's name doesn't mean anything to them.
When the 'wizard' asks if Kuro is going to go with them, he sighs... he doesn't really want to, but he also doesn't have anything else to do here. If he shows up at home before school hours are over, then Father will have a fit and he'll probably get a lecture from Mother about making friends afterwards. So...maybe just following these people around will be the better option. Hopefully they don't decide to go on any long walks. He really doesn't want to do anymore walking before having to walk all the way home. So he say's finally, "It doesn't matter to me."
- Sure, let's get Zim's contact and then we'll speak to Arthur and Hima - without thinking, she's already given the changeling a shorter name! - Ah! By the way! Why don't we just create a Crystal group? - imagining how Kuro will react she turns to him and quickly adds - It's a question of being practical! You wouldn't want having to tell us something and needing to write it thrice, right?
She grabs her Crystal, copies Kuro's contact and in the blink of an eye she creates the group. It is called "KZZZ". It still needs the addition of Zim, but they will solve that right away.
- "KZZZ", hehe! Three of us have a name starting with an uncommon consonant, how weird is that? And of course the K is the first because Kuro will be our leader, right? - she laughs and then adds - Just joking, just joking! Mmm, guess we'll have to edit the group title if Arthur and Hima accept to join us.
When she created the group she has seen that she has a few messages. Arthur, Hima, Uncle Plash, and ... awww ... Tobey! She'll answer them when she has a quieter moment.

Auriel | Shenua | Arren | Lyra
Kuro stares at his crystal for a moment, blinking as the group chat pops up on the screen. The chat title shows up, but the two numbers that appear are both...well just plain numbers. He glances upwards as Zahira says something about him being leader..****y to say she was joking. ...was that supposed to be funny? He raises an eyebrow but otherwise doesn't comment. Instead, he says, "You are going to have to give your names on the text. Otherwise I can't tell who's number is whose." He almost hadn't bothered to say that, as he has a feeling it will be pretty easy to tell who is who based on writing patterns. But that would take a few messages to confirm, which is longer then he feels necessary to wait.
After Zephyro finishes typing in Kuro's contact he says, "That's a great idea!" He laughs when she says the title, "Haha, sounds shocking." He nods to the dark haired boy when he asks for their names, "Alright, let's grab our musician friend's number real quick, then I'll put my name on the chat so you both have it. Then you won't have two messages that say the same thing." He grins at Kuro before turning to make his way over to Zim.
He offers Zim's companions a friendly wave as he approaches, "Hey, sorry to intrude, just wanted to let Zim know that the rest of us might be going outside." He looks at the half-elf, "I also wanted to get your contact info real quick? I meant to ask earlier but I was a bit...well out of it. Anyways, we made a group chat and want to add you."
Hearing the genasi after he had turned away, Zim looked back to give her a pleased smile. "Pleasure to meet you too, Zahira!" Zim held his smile after turning back to his original direction. They seemed like a lovely bunch, the lot of them. Even Kuro. As Zim headed toward his target, he noticed the other young man with the air of authority. He was glad he had been seen and was well received. He took the offered hand into his own and met his eyes, but he was only able to sneak in a quick "Zim Badabim," before this Satomoto continued.
"Ethan Walker?" Zim drew a complete blank. "No, I haven't heard the name before. With the way this day has gone so far, however, I wouldn't be surprised if I were to run into him directly after leaving this gym. I'm only joking, of course." He wished he were only joking. "I will be sure to keep your advice in mind." Zim didn't like the idea of anyone telling him who he should and shouldn't involve himself with, but if Aros seemed okay with this guy, then maybe he could at least be a bit cautious.
"So your name is Aros," Zim said triumphantly. "As you may have gathered already, my name is Zim. We hadn't the opportunity to speak earlier. Are you also training as a bard? I thought I might ask you if you have any advice on how to go about doing well here as a first year?"
At this, Zim became aware of Zephyro joining the conversation. He really didn't mean to make everyone wait. Hopefully he could make arrangements with Aros to meet up or something later. Maybe this was all a mistake. "Not at all! I apologize again for heading off like that. Yes, of course. Here is my crystal." Zim passes the device over to Zephyro and thinks that maybe he should just try to do the same with Aros.
"Please excuse me, where have my manners gone? Zephyro, this is Aros Featherblade and Satomoto Sato. Gentlemen, this is one of my group members, Zephyro Zim says as he gestures to each in kind. "You haven't heard of this Ethan Walker person, have you?"
While Zehpyro is checking on Zim, Zahira thinks of using these minutes to reply to the texts she has received.
(OOC: not sure if Kuro has followed Zephyro, but given his reluctance to meeting new people, I'm guessing he hasn't.).
- Kuro, I'll check my messages for a few minutes and be back in a couple of minutes, ok? By the way, my number is this one - she says, pointing to her number the dark haired boy's crystal and thus answering his question.
She then moves a few steps away and begins typing, starting with the one's she's received from her family.
To Tobias: "Hey, my little blueberry! Thanks for your wishes! The day started a bit bad because your stupid big sis overselpt, but I managed to arrive on time and also to sign for my classes and actually form a party! I've been able to meet quite a few nice persons, so I'm happy. Don't worry, muffin, you'll be able to hold a sword with time. This I promise. You know, uncle Plash and I are always thinking of you and will do whatever is in our power so you can have the ability to do whatever you want instead of needing to spend so much time at home, ok? I miss you too and will go visit as soon as I can. Aaaaaaaaaaaand, don't think we've forgotten about your upcoming birthday, hehehe. You're gonna love your presents *amaji of a heart*! Gotta leave you for now, but I'll text you later! Byeee"
To uncle Plash: "Hi! Oh, were mum and dad visiting, too? I hope they were not too bitter about my studing to be an Artificer and not a Knight, as they wanted * sad amaji *. I hope they'll understand someday. And yes, DEFINITELY, we will do everything we can to help Tobey. That's why I'll be studying in Rising Dawn, am I right? To get to know as much as you do so I can help you even more! *amaji of a flexing arm. (A blue arm, by the way. Air/Water Genasi style!) * I'll see you later at home. By the way, everything is going well so far in my first day and I'm meeting a bunch of interesting people! I've managed to sing up for the Artificer class and formed a party already! *amaji of a happy cheerful face* Love you!"
To Himari: "Hi, Hima! (Well, mind if I call you that? I hope I'm not being TOO familiar here!) Don't worry, it's not weird that you've texted me already. Thank you for your good luck wishes, you're a sunshine! I've indeed formed a party... I'll tell you more later! Be seeing and reading you! *smiling amaji* ( the genasi does not add anything else for the moment. Who knows, maybe Hima will end up in her party too!).
To Arthur:
At this point, the genasi girl giggles a little. Then realizes she's giggling and that she must look stupid to the outside world, so she says to herself: "Please, girl, FOCUS. You've just met him and he's a Chevalier. Don't get your hopes up."
She writes, and deletes, and writes, trying to explain the paladin the reason why Himari's told him that he shouldn't say how cute the genasi girl is so soon after meeting her. But, that is too complicated for a text message. So in the end she writes:
"Hi, Arthur! Regarding Himari, I think that is easier to explain that face to face. Better than that a text the size of Spiral's Constitution, am I right? Haha! So why don't we just hang out someday, as you said, and talk about this and that? And we can see the town and have a nice time together! We can tell other friends to join if you want. Ooooor not? As you wish. Really, I'm fine either way. Not scared of a paladin such as you, you know? I'm an artificer, I can wield magic! I'm stroooong. Hahahah *smiling amaji* *blue flexing arm amaji* "
She writes pretty quickly, so in five/ten minutes she's back with Kuro.
