imperturbatus | Cool and Spicy~

Great Hall

[This is a chance for Amu to start over. For her to drop her outside character and just be herself. Except that is easier said than done. She's only been with her chara's and the others for a year but she misses them. She sits at a table after leaving her cloak in her room. Her bag from her old school is in front of her and she's looking out the window with her chin resting on her palm. She's a little down without anyone else she knows here but her parents had gotten so excited when she got her letter.

She sighs looking back over the great hall at the other students.

She can't help but wonder what it's going to be like here. There were a few people that she spotted from Japan but she couldn't help but feel a little displaced. As a collection of sad thoughts worked to invade her mind she tries to push them away. Everyone is wishing her luck from home and she'd be able to visit and see them again soon.

Even so, she's clearly dwelling on it and has once again fallen back into her 'cool and spicy' attitude. She doesn't want to get close if she has to say goodbye.]

School Grounds

[Amu decides to spend some time walking around the outside of the castle. It was amazing seeing the castle from the boats with the stars as a back drop but it had been night then and she wasn't able to see it all. She steps through the grass taking a look at anything that seems odd. She has read a few books before coming that her father had given her about wizards and the like but there is a lot that she doesn't know.]

Mmm...

[She lightly kicks at a rock almost expecting it to fly off. This is such a weird place.

Amu does find a strange tree on the grounds and yet as she gets closer it starts to move so she takes a few steps back. It's not worth chancing that the tree might see her as a tasty snack.]

What's with this place.

Gryffindor

[She's sitting in the common room with a book out in front of her. Her attempts to jump ahead have only managed to put the first year to sleep. The fire next to her seems to be giving her just enough warmth for the chill of the castle not to wake her up. Her quill has fallen to the table and her head is resting in the center of her text, using the book as a pillow. It might take some effort to wake her up though it's hard to tell with the soft mumbles coming from her lips. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Amu mumbles softly, turning her head away from the voice before realizing she'd be caught sleeping in the common area. She slowly raises her head, still half asleep looking at the other girl.]

I was asleep.

[That doesn't sound right... Amu shakes her head slightly trying to unjumble her thoughts.]

I know, but maybe if you want to sleep you can sleep in a nice soft bed instead.

[She smiled with hands in front of her.]

[She rubs her eyes and shakes her head.]

I've already slept.

[Amu gathers her things trying to remain calm while a frantic voice sounded in her thoughts. Why would she fall asleep in such a public place!? This is to embarrassing.]

Oh... I thought you must be very tired to fall asleep like this.

[But she's been proven wrong, but what other reason could there be?]

[Amu shakes her head felling strangely stubborn about this matter.]

Nope. Not sleepy.

[She stretches her arms out in front of her and grunts slightly before taking a better look at Elizabeth.]

What are you doing anyway?

I am not doing much right now. Just looking around and thinking why this place seems so dark.

[She walked over to go and open whatever curtains were around.]

It's a castle?

[That seems reason enough for it to be dark. It's not like it has electricity, at least nothing that Amu has seen.]

Casltes still have some lighting, or more candles anyway, even a window letting the sunlight in you would think it would be brighter at least during the day.

[She places her hands on her hips. Maybe it was something else. Maybe because even the decorations look dark and depressing. That must be it.]

Maybe it's how they decorate.

[Having windows open certainly helped but it still is a little dark. Amu looks around curiously taking in the spooky atmosphere.

Yeah, she doesn't like it.]

I think it's the mid-evil vibe.

But it isn't the medieval period. They could do with an upgrade.

[It just seemed odd to stay in the past.]

Yeah? Seems to be working well for them.

[She supposed it's easier to hide a castle but the more she thinks about it, the more that doesn't make very much sense.]

But that is there own opinion, I'm sure if they asked students they would get a very different answer.

[Well she wouldn't be able to say one way or another, but she thinks people would agree with her.]

Why not ask other students then?

[Amu tries very hard not to have an opinion about some stuff and the castle is just one of those things. If she starts thinking about it then the thought will never stop and it will bug her until she figures it out.]

Because there aren't a lot of people around. It's the summer so school isn't a thing, people are at home. The ones that are around haven't been here for long... I think anyway, I should of perhaps asked.

[She tilts the head slightly thinking about it more, she wouldn't let it bother her anyway.]

[Amu smiles.]

Sounds like you got it all figured out then!

Not fully though.

[She didn't know about the other people, she had only spoke to like one or two people after all.]

You'll get it.

[Amu gave her a wink and a small smile. She hoped that she would and who knows maybe Amu would understand it more as well.]

Maybe, who knows.

[When she got around to it she figured she might try and figure more out, who knows.]

This was an interesting talk. Maybe we sound talk about something else.

[Amu knows she's making this difficult. She looks up and then back at Elizabeth with a cool sort of attitude.]

Like what?

I don't know what exactly... Maybe about dresses or clothes that you wore before being here. We could even say how we feel about the uniform.

[She had a lot to say about that.]

Oh...

[Amu looks down at her uniform that she had changed to look like the one she altered before.]

I'm used to uniforms but I like adding my own touch.

[Hence, unbuttoned, belt and legwarmers.]

So do I, but I can't alter something to make it longer.

[There was no way she could alter this skirt. She knew she could do other things, but that was the only thing she was sure she wanted different and couldn't.]

[Amu hums softly looking around.]

Why not make another with the same fabric?

[Not that she knows were to buy the fabric.]

I didn't think I would need to, so I don't have anything like that. Maybe when we are allowed out of here I can, but until then I am stuck with it.

[She still pouts slightly. It kind of sucked really.]

[Amu hums softly.]

Sounds like you're out of luck and I don't see this place having a home ec classroom.
