Maximus simply, slowly turns around. As he turns to face Arnett, he visibly gulps.
"....i-it's not mine. The puppy. It's not for me."

1772
Reeve and Cattleya get blank stares as the names of Kaede and Jackson are brought up.

As they walk down the corridor, they can hear the argument starting up again. The distinct sounds of both of them accusing the other of getting Kaede and Jackson (and then subsequently, Reeve and Cattleya) involved can be heard.

Oops. Well, better report back to Kaede and Jackson with your "results", as the case may be.

Katarina, after Mordecai runs off, stays a moment, before shrugging and getting back to her own workout. No skin off her back.

Theodora lightly smiles.
"We're here to do our best and that's all. Beating scores is really no concern of ours."

It occurs to Arnett that Maximus has been, in fact, facing away from him this whole time, facing towards a corner. Before Arnett can wonder why, as Maximus simply nods, the unmistakable noise of a puppy's yelp can be heard.

Maximus freezes.

Felix and Christine walk in, looking around for Class 3-A. It doesn't take them long to find them, either.

"Are you guys Class 3-A? We'd like to introduce ourselves. We're Felix and Christine."

"I see. You look strong. A good addition to our class. My name is Steven Harrigan. I am 3-A's class representative. Please feel free to come ask me about anything you are unfamiliar with."
"Are these the new students? Hmph. Don't be so hasty with praise, Steven. They have yet to prove themselves."
"Oh, get off your high horse, Faulkner! Don't mind her. Her bark, whiny as it might be, is worse than her bite."
"Do you insist on doing this to EVERYONE we meet? A Faulkner has her pride to preserve."

Annika and Freddie make their way up next.
"I'm Annika! It's really nice to meet new friends. I'm really looking forward to working with you all!"
"Wait, are you....you can't be twenty-one, surely."
"Twenty, actually! Why?"
"Oh, thank the Sculptor, I'm NOT the youngest one here!"
"Yeah, an honest pleasure to meet you folks. Name's Freddie, Freddie Jones. Real pleasure to meet ya. If y'all don't mind, do pay a visit to the Jazz Society later. It'd be much appreciated."
"Frederick's music-"
"Just Freddie. Only my ma calls me Frederick. We talked about this, Toby."
"Freddie's music can soothe even the darkest and foulest of evil beasts. I, Tobias Larson, manipulate the shadows themselves. It is pleasure to meet you, new comrades."
Tobias shoots a sheepish, apologetic look at Freddie, who simply smiles and nods.
"Name's Per. Nice to meet you guys! Looking forward to training with ya. Heard Felix here's a tournament winner. Two time winner and five time runner-up of the Erebian Exhibition Tournament."
"Hey, I wasn't THAT good. Besides....you have the woman I lost to here, don't you? I heard Theodora Kokkinos was attending. Maybe I'll get my rematch."
"There's a few other guys. Um....Himiko's in the Union Room probably making out with Joel and Katarina's in the training room like always except when she and Per are all but making out but....I think most of 3-C should be around the lake? I remember Isabella wanting to meet everyone around there before their tests later."

"Sorry. I'm usually just a receptionist. I don't really....do this sort of thing, actually escort people from the airport.  I got promised a bonus if I did this, though."

1775
"It's uh....Pacifica District, downtown. Why?"

1776
The squirrel girl looks relieved. And also a little shy.
"You're Team F, right?"
She presses a packet of papers into Keith's hands.
"I-I'm here to take you to the Belleview. You've been given suites there."

1777
As the party searches around for a good restaurant in the concourse to eat at, they spy a small woman, a squirrel-like tail marking her Beastkin heritage, holding a placard for "Team F", looking around through the concourse and talking to adventuring groups.

"Team F? Hello? I'm looking for a Team F!"

1779
A loud beeping comes from the direction of the helm, alerting Marta's attention.
"Ah! I think we're getting close to Ishim. Excuse me, I'll just have to start landing!"
Marta stands up and rushes off towards the bridge.

A few moments later, she rushes back into the dining room, grabs the mug of coffee she was partaking of, and then runs back off towards the bridge.

The Jasmine Efreeti, after about half an hour, pulls into the Branwen Pwyll Port, named for a famed adventurer whose name was also lent to the city's Pwyll District. Like the rest of the inner city, the building is an affair of glass and steel, closer resembling something out of a Revivian's homeland than the rest of Generia, or even the port they had left a day ago in Wybernia, made mainly of wood, brick and mortar.

As the party disembarks- after Milly retrieves her wagon, for better transport around the city- and gets all of the necessary paperwork done, such as showing off their Emblems and Adventurer Cards, they pass into the lounge area of the port, a concourse of shops and restaurants, advertisements for Tauriner Energy, the Belleview Casino Hotel, the upcoming exhibition matches at the Midgardia National Stadium between adventuring groups, and various adventuring groups for hire surrounding them. The Burger Lord branch here, it seems, is doing good business, with a massive line leading outside with a group of armored Oni huddling together, trading what appears to be coupons between the group. A small stall dedicated to Clash of Legends celebrating the new Deadly Sins banner (featuring the mysterious but firm leader Abel, the skilled and beautiful con artist Eleonora and the burgeoning revolutionary Elisa) has a small queue outside it. There even seems to be restaurants selling Revivian cuisine, styled in what, to Revivians, looks obviously Japanese furniture.

The first order of business, of course, after getting some food to eat, is to find somewhere to stay, and after that to find some quests they can do.

"It's a balance. You push yourself too hard, you'll make it harder to train. You also need to keep loose to move better."
Katarina, for her part, is still eyeing Mordecai's body calmly, like a bird of prey eyeing a particularly interesting branch.

"Yes. It's....not easy for me, either."
Maximus is....it seems, equally awkward. But, it should be reasonably self-evident as to why a fairly large Andvar would find it difficult to ride a horse.

"This ISN'T playing around! This is Union business!"
"D-don't keep saying that! You're going to dig us deeper!"
"D-don't say stuff like that, you'll make them think we were up to something lewd! Like kissing!"

"Don't be so modest. Every little helps."

"Alright, if you want! Uh....they're meeting in the East Wing in about ten minutes. Do you wanna walk there now or...?"

1781
Anya studies Xerxe very closely. He can feel....something being drained from the air around him, something ineffable. Whatever it is is being drained, it seems, doesn't seem to quite run out, either.

She taps her chin thoughtfully. Xerxe suddenly feels the draining feeling disappear. Anya looks somehow....healthier than before?
"....well, I can tell a liar from afar. A little trick I have. And I can tell you aren't lying to me about being framed. Well, since I'm here, I might as well accompany you. The Annas will likely want my head to make sure I sign off on their ridiculous contracts, and we seem to be trying to make the same tram anyway. Consider this your job interview."
Anya von Lugenhardt has joined the party.

1782
"I'm afraid you'll have to explain. I've been in business meetings with the Syndicate of Annas all day. They wanted a piece of my business and spent the day trying to wrench a deal out of me. I'm sure you can understand why I declined."

1783
"Well, I haven't really been, so I wouldn't really know..."

1784
The woman subtly smiles.
"I have.....some experience with combat. The name's Anya von Lugenhardt. I run the Belleview Casino Hotel in Pacifica District."
"Wait, that's you? That's like....the biggest casino in town! It's all modern and stuff! One of my sisters works there, she says it's practically a dream come true! If nothing else, she gets good pay and full coverage."
"And I must say, your reputation precedes you, Warriors. I was in fact going to contact you tomorrow, to see if I could hire you as protectors for an event I intend to run within the next few months. It seems I'll be getting to see your reptuation first-hand if we are to survive tonight unscathed."
Anya then looks over at Largo.
"I am....unfamiliar with the ways of your Oni. Is he always like this?"

1785
Felix senses he might have said something insensitive. He backs off.
"....ah. I'm sorry. That was a little much for having just met each other. It's just....my father was always deeply honored to serve alongside yours and he always told myself and my brother stories of his service, so when I heard the name Sokolov I...."
"....s-shall we move on?"

"I assure you, Reeve, we at the Student Union are taking our responsibilities-"
"P-P-Private time?! What? M-me and the Vice President don't spend our private time doing anything!"
"Now you're just going to make her think something IS going on!"
"Which it isn't!"
