#amare open

    Yuri had safely found his own dorm room with Repede following him, letting his companion rest up in the dorm room. He felt much more at ease knowing he didn't have to bother with someone making a fuss over a dog rooming with them, having put in his own request to be roomed with no one other than him.

  Eager to get to the kendo club, Yuri hesitantly brought his own sword with him. He hadn't heard of kendo but if there was dueling involved he was all for it. All he had to go on was the name and what little information was given in the club description. He was excited. He followed the directions on his personal map of the school to the clubrooms, up the floors, and with absolutely no hesitation, opening the door to the club and walking inside.

  Luckily enough for him someone was already in the room. Whether or not they were just visiting or  in the club was beyond him, "Hey, didn't think someone would actually be here." Maybe they could show him the ropes or explain what kendo was, there was a weapon back on Terca Lumireis that was a joke weapon. Hopefully this wasn't some joke club. Not to cut short on introductions, "I'm Yuri."

Somehow, he had managed to restrain himself and only sent a few messages on the phone. They hadn't gone through.

Having had the matter of 'fancy stables' on the island recently having opened told to him, the mage had mused to himself that as he had answered to the person who talked to him about it - going over and trying to get used to horses was something he expressed an interest in, should he ever become strong enough to become a Dark Rider through the magical use of the greatly magic-imbued item called a 'Master Seal'. The fact you could ride on one of those fascinating steel boats - or a strange magical silver thing called a 'mohorail' - only attracted Laurent further to it all.

He could actually try to figure out one of those steel boats or the 'mohorail' while it took him to the second island, and then investigate the horses after that. At least, that was the theory - but the 'mohorail' he had decided to take was...faster than a pegasus, maybe (he'd never ridden on one, so he wouldn't know...) and given him little time to sit in awe about the advanced magics at work, and the sheer speed made him a little dizzy.

...Perhaps the wiser option was to stick to boats or teleportation magic, for the time being. Oh dear Naga...but getting some fresh air certainly helped, and seeing the horses moving around the large area kept for them was nice, too. One or two of them flicked their ears in vague interest at the human, as he carefully approached the fence.

"Hello, there, horses. Are you all having an eventful day?"

He wished he had saved a carrot or two, but no doubt that would spoil the food left out for them.

The horses gave a snort, and walked along.

"Ah? Nobody much has come along this way? I see. Would any of you like a rub behind the ears?"

Laurent proceeded to hold out a gloved hand, one of the smaller ponies snuffling and approaching slowly. Only, something spooked the small horse at the last moment, and it darted away from him.

Aw...wait. Turning, Laurent jumped in alarm at seeing someone was behind him.

Well...this was embarrassing.

"Oh my. ...H-how much of that did you hear, if I may ask?"

Something was wrong. His chest hurts, his body feels heavy, breathing feels difficult, and he is definitely not in his bed, nor in his chair. Concern was his first instinct and, his eyes snapping open, he finds himself laying on sand. Sitting up, C-ta looks around, frowning a little - the smell of ocean wasn't a mistake, as right in front of him, is the sea. He's laying on a beach.

"... Huh." There's no sign of his computer anywhere. There's no sign of anything familiar, really. The place seems completely strange, and he doesn't even remember going to the beach in a while - and he definitely didn't live close enough to just wake up sprawled out on it one day.

It's only been a day or so since she arrived here, and already she's at the library instead of doing her homework, like the nerd she is. Honestly, the library is just a really relaxing place for her. She enjoys being there, surrounded by books. It was the same back home with the shepards, too. Chrom would always get on her tail about it...

Hm.. what should she read up on today? She doesn't have anything particular in mind, so she's just gonna pick something at random.

As she reached up to grab a book, she felt another hand brush up against hers! Oh, how silly of her. She didn't realize that someone else was in the library, much less right next to her.

It was strange, seeing all these people he didn't know everywhere around him. He came to the thought that he must have gotten too used to the everyday life at Raimon Academy, where everyone looked somewhat more- usual? There were quite some interesting-looking individuals about, here. 

''....!'' Coming to a slow stop in his tracks- right in the middle of the hallway he had just absentmindedly walked into- to blink in thought; What about his friends...? Where'd they gone, did they even know he was gone- Was he gone...? Or had he been here before...?

''...What is this place...?''

Hold on.

When did he get on a boat?

Oh no, no. Shindou struggled with his memories as the boat tore through the sea towards the island.  The last thing he remembered was leaving his room to go to morning practice. That's right. That morning (this morning…? How long had it been?!), one of the butlers had handed him an unusual letter, which requesting his attendance at a prestigious school. Academia Mare, was it…? Naturally, at the time, Shindou had dismissed it and asked one of the house staff to throw it away. He wouldn't want to leave Raimon for anything. He remembered thinking that, packing his sports bag and leaving to meet his team.

And yet here he was, on a boat stopping at an island he'd never even seen before. This must have some connection to that letter. He looked around as the boat came to a halt, and picked up his bag (which, he noted, was the one he'd packed before he left to go to practice; it still contained his kit, among other necessities) before stepping off the boat and beginning to make his way towards the building. It didn't really look like a school (more like a castle of sorts) so he was unsure if it was actually the place mentioned in that damn letter, but Shindou just sighed, figuring that reaching it was his best bet at finding answers. That, or asking the other people walking around the island. Were they all in the same situation, he wondered?
