Sebastian’s eyes flutter open guiltily at he awakens to the clatter of movement around him. Sadly, he had missed the roll-call completely, save for the last smattering of names. Oh, come on. I only need one lucky break... Sebastian wanders the room, feigning a destination, hoping to hear a name he had paid attention to.

As if on cue, he picks up on the name of an older halfling, introducing himself to a slowly growing group: ”To those I haven’t met yet, I am Akaas.” Akaas... Yes, that was one of the Scarlet whatever-we-ares. Such ridiculous group names...

Sebastian warily approaches, easily double the man’s height. Casting a cursory eye over the group, he recognizes the woman who had been chatting beside him earlier in such an irritatingly pleasant manner, now with a new Dragonborn companion. His nose inadvertently wrinkles as he notices a small Kobold, chattering and handing out.. Is that FRUIT?

With a dismissive shrug, Sebastian steps up beside the halfling. ”Sebastian Gold, at your service. I look forward to becoming- all of us becoming, that is- exceptionally wealthy through this.”

Chetin stands up, apple still in hand, he bows his head to Sebastian, "Hello Sebastian, and with that our team is complete. May I interest you in an apple? Belcharion has quite a variety." He gestures down to the kobold in robes. "Oh and I am Chetin Humb. Pleased to meet you."

"Now that you are all acquainted with your companions," The vice guildmaster says. "It is time you head to the dorms and take your bunks. You may start accepting quests from tomorrow at dawn. There are noticeboards which are updated hourly in the common room."

"Splendid," Akaas remarks. "I didn't know the company would be providing lodging. My pour cousin has been putting up this old leatherfoot for weeks. It will be good to let her have her space back. I will miss her company, but I have all of you now, don't I?"

 As the vice guild master talks Belcharion tosses an apple to akaasa. He then pulls a pear out of his robe shrugs and tosses it to Sebastian.

Kithre walks over to the gathering group of Azure Claw members. "That bard's name would be Kithre!" she says happily, smiling to each in turn. "Lovely to meet all of you, I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time together. Plenty of fodder for heroic stories that everyone will know!" 

"Very nice to meet you" Jaylin looked at the group that was now forming, he smiled a bit and thought to himself that this seems to be a good group Jaylin extended a hand to Kithre 

Akaas deftly catches the tossed apple and takes a big, juicy bite.

"Azoor Claw? What's an Azoor? I don't think I've fought one of them before."

"they're a mix of a goat, lizard and tiger. They're absolutely huge!"

Warren replies, his face full of excitement and awe.

Deception : 24 

 "Really? Good name then. Dibs on the top bunk!"

Brazzak 'pats' Warren on the shoulder, nearly knocking him over.

"that, doesn't seem, eh screw it" Jaylin said 

Johann also joins the group, and says, "Well now that we've all gotten together in our groups, does anyone know where the dorms are so I can put my stuff up? I've been dying for something to eat since this thing started!"

"Food. Yes! If'n I don't get something to eat soon, I'm gonna start getting the Blasty Burps."

The large Dragonborn pats his stomach, which rumbles like thunder before a spring storm.

Borg will follow her group. "So I guess we are all room mates now, not sure if they separate the men and women, I guess we'll find out." She says, crunching into the apple.

Chetin tilts his head, "I don't think the dorms will be coinciding with our teams, although It would feel a bit odd to have five room mates.", He takes another bite from the apple. "Where did you find such good fruit, Belcharion?"

"I'm hoping we can find a room soon,  I'm curious what jobs we'll be able to take" Jaylin says with a hint of excitement in his voice 

“Food! And by all the known Gods some wine to digest that speech. No wonder why they live so long eh?” Says the elf to his team members. “Dar’quilyn Rend’Avir at your service! It’s good to be teamed-up with you big guy! “ he taps the dragonborn’s shoulder. “ This is going to be fun!” 

Leaving through the doors to the auditorium the group finds a few more adventurers waiting for them outside. They seem to be sizing up the fresh meat that's joined. One of them, a half-elf woman raises her hand up. "Okay, newbies! This way to the dorms!"

Leading the group out of the main building the group has to follow the half-elf across one of the connecting roof bridges to another building. They head down a few floors until they enter a corridor on one of the large buildings. "Okay, here's your common room. Since you're newbies you'll be getting the lower end quests in the meantime. So apparently they gave you all edgy codename groups this year. Something feedback from the groups showed they're not really liking to be called "Red Five", or "Green Seven", or "Black Two". Also this group would be number thirteen, and those superstitious people and all that."

The room that the half-elf leads the group to seems to be a small communal area, more fit for about 30 people at once, rather than sixty. Leading off to either side is a series of corridors which have colour coordinated doors that seem to match the colours for each group. "Okay, so it's two people per room, so make sure you bunk up with someone you're okay with. Food is served at sunrise, noon, and sunset in the dining halls three floors down, toilets and bathing are at the end of each hallway, so make sure to put a sign when you're using it, and if you break anything, report it to facilities. Any questions? No? Great! Head off to your rooms to unpack and there'll be someone around to check on the place later on. Ciao!"

The half-elf wanders out, leaving the groups to their own devices.

"What do you say big guy?" ask the elf to the dragoborn " Want to team with me for the room? Let's try if we fit in them! " he says.

( I feel kind of first year of Howgarts ;) )
