Brandon took the soda from Centralia with a smile and sat down near them. "I'm Brandon. Brandon Drune, pleased to meet you." He said as he cracked open the soda. "And you too, Omakta Okë, but don't say sorry, I can see you're interested by something. I can understand why, different places are just so... interesting. Even the subtle things can make a big difference... Are you both students here too? I just got in, and am kinda getting a feel for the place." There now, Brandon, that wasn't so hard... Maybe you'll fit in here better than you thought. he thought silently to himself as he smiled. |

With the windows opened, the soft laughter and conversation of students nearby filtered in with a light breeze that passed through the open room. May and Iliyana stood for a moment, watching as he remained at the window, looking out with the same look of a lone survivor etched into his face. Iliyana was about to speak, prompt him for a response, when he turned and motioned towards the empty chairs wordlessly. His face seemed permanently set, etched into marble with the expression of the great thinker, lost forever in perpetual silent contemplation. Taking the decanter of water, he poured them all glasses of water, Iliyana unable to resist noticing the scar and how it seemed fixed just like his expression, even as he moved with the motion of extending the glasses towards them. It was then that May noticed the thick jagged scar that ran across his neck and suddenly his silent expressions seemed to make more sense to her. It was almost as if she felt she could understand the lost look of a survivor on his face. Both seemed to respect the silence for a moment as Mathias took his seat. To an observant eye, his motions seemed calculated, planned, everything moving at a set pace. But it was the observant eye with a questioning mind that would ask, why? And the analytical person would deduce that his calculated moves were hiding the pain he experienced in the simplest motion of sitting. Folding his hands, he seemed to wait for their concerns patiently, giving one a sense that he was ready when they were and would wait an eternity if thats how long it took to be ready. |

The local joint was crowded, too crowded, for Aristes's taste. As he clutched the tray holding his food as if it were a life saving flotation device, he followed Declan and Sonny to the only free table available. Ever since the silence, loud social interactions jarred something deep within him. He could remember his last days out there, the frigid subzero nights. There was no sound but the sound of the wind. No hooting owls, no overhead planes, no far away traffic. No people talking, no hushed whispers, no footfalls or skittering of mice. Nothing but the deafening silence and periodic relief of the rush of wind. He thought then that he would never again endure the silence, tolerate it, that he would come back and never leave social situations, that he would be just like Centralia, immersed in perpetual human interaction. But here he was holding his tray and looking around him in obvious discomfort. Feeling a nearby person bump into him, he clutched his tray more and looked to the person in question with a look of 'watch where the hell you walk', so it was a major relief when they got to an open table and he took the chair furthest from the most people. It was then with the uproarious loudness of ordering, laughter, and conversation that Aristes realized the reason he hated places like this is because he found the deafness of silence and loudness could be to similar in nature. Not removing his gloves, Aristes picked at the fries. He had eaten here before and knew this place was among the best places to get food, but still he found himself questioning how good something cooked entirely in grease could be and even again, he found himself surprised at how addictive these grease soaked foods could become even to him. Nearly demolishing his fries, he looked to Declan, a man who in their short time together he felt a sense of camaraderie with, like he lived and served with this man his whole life. Their simple run it with trouble may have been brief, but his response to that professor was real, and his rage at seeing Declan struck could not be faked. He knew that despite the brief moment, this is a man he would defend at his own expense. "So Aristes, what are you studying here?" Sonny asked, breaking him from his thoughts. "What am I studying?" Aristes repeated, startled by the sudden question, "right now, I am taking general courses. I am not studying anything specific. I am hoping to get into their engineering program." It was not a lie, but not quite the truth. The truth was that he was already enrolled into the prestigious program he barely attended. His presence at this school had been unexpected and his education previously completed. The reasons why Der Fuhrer Dyszel ordered him to attend Shiro still eluded him and he could not help but ponder that something much grander were taking place at home. But avoiding any military training classes was more his pleasure....he had too much of that life already. He could sit as a no one in a class about The East Pacific history and no one would think twice about why he was here or who he was. He could sit there and let his mind wonder, he could learn about anything else but war, killing, and conquering enemies. "What are you studying?" he followed up with, asking the question as if his mind was not running away on him. |

"Of course we are!" Centralia excitedly beamed, "it is wonderful being a student here Brandon! There is so much to study and do here and so little time to learn it all! Why last year I was taking classes in art, dance, history, politics, science, and math while doing student government, the honor judiciary board, and other clubs. My only wish is I had more time to do more. There are so many opportunities here and I really do not know how long I am going to be here, so I want to really get to do the most now while I can. What about you all? Where are you staying and do you plan on joining any activities?" |

Sonny took a bite out of his cheeseburger, when Ariste asked him about his studies. "Not sure yet. I'm thinking maybe military history. My mom and uncles think I should go into the military after I graduate from Shiro." "How about you Declan? What are you studying?" ---------------------------------------------------- Kieran led Kamron back to the dorms. Kieran's muzzle had stopped hurting. He made a mental note (for the fifty-first time) to stop butting into people's conversations. "So, Kamron, you mentioned earlier that some people weren't happy when the elders decided to open up to the rest of the world. I'm surprised that there would be those who would be opposed to outsiders. I mean, don't they realize that other nations would be willing to help your nation out? Food, medicine, clothing, weapons especially to deal with the felbears, and other stuff. Heck, with other nations coming in, Senvroth would be booming." Kieran was having a hard time figuring out why anyone would be opposed to experiencing new cultures. To him, the experience was joyful. (OOC: I couldn't think of anything to say except joyful!) |

Iliyana turned to May, then back to Matthias. She didn't quite know what to make of the situation at hand. Sure, it was very formal and handled well, but... why? What was this man's story? Why didn't he talk? Could he talk? What if she asked - what would he do then? She decided it would have been too impolite to ask about the scar. At least right now. Maybe she could ask his secretary... when he wasn't around. She couldn't help staring at it though. It was like it was a shiny medallion, or a streak across a painting that seemed out of place. As with any curious person, she was drawn to the abnormality. What was its story? Still, the silence was becoming exponentially uncomfortable. "Umm... you must teach a class here, right... sir?" She paused as if she was thinking of something, then shook her head slightly to remove the thought from her mind. |

Okë's spirits took another step up when Brandon responded so positively to his hurried introduction. He was amazed but delighted by the speed with which he seemed to be making friends. Well, maybe it was too soon to call them friends, but all the same so far everyone had been incredibly easy going and talkative and he had so far been entirely unsuccessful in offending anyone in the slightest. Friend might soon be the appropriate term. Okë was beginning to get a feel for the way things were done here, and this time there was no hesitation or doubt when he dared to speak out in response to Centralia's question. "Well, I'm living in, oh..." He grinned with mild embarrassment and scratched behind one of his ears. "I'm forgetting the name, but I know where the building is, I just moved in to there. I think I don't know what activities I'll take also, I still don't know what there is.* |

Content to let Iliyana do the talking, May took a sip of her water, her eyes never leaving the man's face. She had trouble thinking of him as "Mr. Bortniansky". Her eyes had traced the pattern of the scar. It was hideous. It was a wonder he'd lived given its location. Maybe a soldier, maybe not, perhaps Mr. Bortniansky was his name, perhaps not, but he had suffered terribly ... suffered something she couldn't even begin to imagine. His eyes. Pain, suffering, accepting, probing and yet ... humane. She'd been accused more than once of being extremely intelligent but not wise, told she was far too impetuous despite the wariness instilled in her both by circumstance and warning. Still, she felt no discomfort with him, just ... curiousity and a sense of "kinship". Weird, but she trusted him. Silently she studied him, wondering if he was actually able to answer Iliyana's questions. |

"How about you Declan? What are you studying?" "I am in majoring in Industrial Engineering. My mom and Dad want me to take over their oil surveying business so they can retire. I was in the military, it was ok but in Allegheny you are either a conscript or a contract soldier. Conscripts get treated like shit for the two years we are required to be there. Contract soldiers sign on for like 8 years and get all the good drugs and implants man, alot of conscripts go for the contracts just for the power you can get out of those procedures. I almost did but I didn't want to get poked and cut to get the enhancements so I went back out to the oil fields to work with my parents." Declan took a bite of his burger and continued. "I don't know about you but joining the military now doesn't seem like a good idea, especially with all the tension flying around the region. I'm glad I didn't sign the contract or I might be in Iruk right now waiting to get shot by some rebel vulpine. I heard the Army kicked their asses though. Heard the Premier was licking President Gordon's boots! Ha, at least that's what the news back home is saying." |

Sonny nodded. "You know I think that the reason for all the problems in the region today is because of Merrill Rivers. Some people think he caused all this as an act of revenge for being ousted from power. He had followers all over the world, even in Allegheny I heard. To tell you the truth, I think he did do it. He did alot of...terrible things. He even had newborn kits and pups straggled with their own umbrical cords. A lot of people hated him, and when he lost and fled, everyone was happy. I think the problem today is that too many people listened to him and let his hate mongering to cloud their judgement." He ate some fries. |

Declan raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Who now? Never heard of Merrill Rivers let alone know about any problems he caused for this region. Almost a shame though if he really did that to newborn Vulpines then he sounds like my kind of guy. I mean if you think about it alot of problems have been caused by those furbags and for what reason? I remember tons of events on the news perpetrated by those people. Some assassin almost kills some Mahanionian ambassador in Vekaiyu, the new despot in Vulshain beats up a human expressing his free speech on national television and even more recently the Vulpines stir up trouble by invading some small human island in the north without even trying for diplomacy. The funny thing about that piece of news is that they even fooled the local human nations into attacking them! Even FPS! Fools, all of them. Their people should be exterminated, I bet if all the Vulpines died right now peace would sweep across the region. Ridiculous all of them." Declan finished his ranting and drank some more of his drink. |

Sonny nodded and replied, "But didn't that protestor tried to kill the Vulshainian king? Also, wasn't Rygard the one who declared war first? Wait, here it is." Sonny showed them a video on his phone where the Rygardi Presidential Viceroy Archibald Rivers was declaring war on Vulshain and several other nations. The video was broadcasted by the Rygardi Republican News Network. "What do you think Aristes? What do you think about the Vulpines?" |

"Mahanoy?" Aristes looked up from his meal, suddenly engaged in the conversation, a burning hatred behind his eyes. Trying to displace his anger, he turned quickly to the conversation at hand. "That Mahanionian ambassador that was shot in Vekaiyu....he went to school here," Aristes searched his memory for a name, "The vulpines started a fight here on campus last year, tearing each other to pieces. That ambassador tried to help them and was nearly killed. Last we heard of him for a while until the news hit that he was shot in Vekaiyu....the same vulpines involved in the fight here, suspected of his attack there. Now she is leading their nation. Are all vulpines as idiotic? I mean they promoted this woman to their leader....and she barely could make it through school here without causing a problem. Then her first interaction with world feared warmongers and she fucks it up?" The rant Aristes launched fell silent as he looked to his food. "Sorry....vulpines....touchy subject," he spoke, quickly drinking some of his drink while trying not to touch on the real source of his frustration....Mahanoy. |

"Sorry, didn't mean to bring up old wounds," Sonny said. He continued. "I don't like Vulpines, but I don't hate them. I guess that sounds strange, but that's how I feel. But...I hate people who hate others just because they're different on the outside. I mean..." Religion was something Sonny was fascinated with, but that didn't mean his new friends were just as interested in theology. "...the Bible tells us to love each other. I've never seen anything in there that you have to be human to be loved by God. I saw what the Rygardi Embassy Guards did to those peaceful protesters. They didn't care who they shot. Even innocent tourists were...murdered. From what I heard, a lot of the Rygardi are...cannibals. Well, they don't see the eating of non-humans as cannibalism, but I bet God sees it as cannibalism. I don't like meat, that's why I'm eating a cheese soyburger. They even wear the furs of skinned Canine-people as clothes. That's like one of us wearing another human's skin as clothes. It's just...wrong. Maybe the Rygardi deserve to be defeated." Sonny crush some french fries in his fist, leaving a mess. "Sorry. The discussion of bigotry gets under my skin sometimes." He decided to change the subject as he took a napkin, cleaning up his mess. "My mom, brother, cousins, aunt, and uncles all want me to join the military, but I actually don't want to. I want to study religion. I'm a Methodist, and I saw all the hope and happiness a Methodist missionary brought to others. That's what I want to do with my life, be Methodist missionary, but...I haven't told my family members yet. I don't think they would understand about my wishes. I also want to study medicine, and help the sick and wounded." Suddenly, an idea appeared to Sonny. "You know, I just thought of something. Maybe the three of us, we could go into work together. Maybe we could join the Red Cross together or start our own relief aid organization. What do you think?" He asked both Declan and Aristes, smiling at both of his new friends. |

"You should stick with me then Sonny. I met God before. Did you know that? I seldom talk about it.....religion and all, you know, touchy subject. It can create wars. But is true, I met God before. It was a very profound moment of my life. It was right before he was killed in the first wave of our war," Aristes smirked, his voice challenging as he did so. Stealing a sip from the drink he had, Aristes's eyes challenged Sonny, daring him to talk about God before him again. |

Mathias nodded in confirmation to Iliyana's question before reaching into a desk drawer and retrieving a packet of papers about the course. In the same silent fixed manner, he extended two packets towards both May and Iliyana before once again returning to his sitting position, with hands folded waiting a response. If nothing more could be said about him, he was the living essence of patience as he waited there calmly, dedicating his attention and time to them, never seeming to glance at the clock about how much time was passing or seeming to become irritated with their presence there. Rather, he just sat there with his folded hands waiting, watching them, watching her as they talked. |

"Oh wow!" Declan said as he started laughing uncontrollably, he laughed for a good minute much to Sonny's dismay and slapped his hand down on Aristes' shoulder. "Oh man, can you believe this guy!" He said choking on his own laughs. "Soy burger! Oh man!" Laughter took control of Declan again before he could speak. "Oh wow, you are joking right? Ha, that was a good laugh." Declan said in disbelief. It was only after he got a good look at Sonny's face that he realized he was serious. "Oh wow you are serious aren't you?" "Look man no offense, well actually I don't really care if you take offense or not but religion is useless. The only thing that makes this world go around is money. One day on the oilfields with me and you will realize that for sure. I've dodged a couple bullets from competing drilling teams to know that for sure. As for the Red cross? I have no interest in helping people. How do you live with those things everyday?" He said referring to the vulpines. Before Sonny could answer, Declan burst into another bout of laughing. "Can you believe this guy? He said again to Aristes. |

Sonny smiled. "You know if I wasn't a nice guy, I could easily snap your head off." He rolled up his sleeve, showing a muscular arm that even a world-class bodybuilder would be jealous of. "You should see my chest," Sonny said as he finished his burger, before tackling his fries. "And about the Red Cross, maybe you should give it a try. Who knows? Maybe you'll find you like helping people." |

"A nice guy does not remind people how badly he can hurt them or takes pride in his ability to crush others" Aristes spoke, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms, his eyes holding Sonny. There was something about the guy, a naiveness, a lack of actual experience in the world....ideological thinking taken to the max. It was as if Sonny had never left his home, never experienced any of life's true pains. "We have a 'nice' guy who threatens to snap people's necks and then talks about starting a Red Cross. Let me guess....your idea of helping others is using your muscle to demand they give blood. 'Give blood or I will snap your neck,'" Aristes mocked the voice of Sonny. Holding out his arms in a sign of surrender, Aristes looked to Sonny, "there is no need to threaten us with what you would do. Snap my neck if you want. Throw your muscle around. Prove to us you are the alpha male. But before you think that taking steroids is going to give you an arm up, perhaps you should reconsider your approach to making friends." |

Sonny smiled. "Easy, Aristes. I was just messing with you both. Besides, you shouldn't be so serious all of the time. If you act so serious all of time, a lot of people may not want to hang out with you. You have to learn to have fun. One reason why I came here. To be able to make my own decisions, and not have my family and relatives tell me what to do or think." He finished his fries. He got up and went over to the register. He came back with three things of ice cream. All of them were vanilla ice cream in cones. "You guys want any ice cream?" |

As Sonny went to the register, Aristes looked towards Declan and rolled his eyes, "this guy cannot be serious. 'You shouldn't be serious all the time,"" Aristes again mocked Sonny, "does the guy even realize where I come from? An idea of a joke in The Reich is when there is a delay on the grenade or bomb that falls right in front of you. You think, hey, it's a du---BOOM. We consider those jokes. This kid cannot be serious Declan. He makes my skin crawl. It's naive fools like him that plunge the world into chaos," Aristes leaned back as Sonny paid. "Guess he has never been outside of his nation. Interacting with nations like mine tends to bring with it a whole new perspective and serious....," again Aristes seemed to push back some looming memory, "war has a way of changing your outlook." |

Iliyana looked at Mr. Bortniansky, then looked back at May. "I don't think so, but I think it's one of the classes you can take to fulfill your humanities credits." She looked at the papers, then back at him again. It was clear that no amount of questioning would illicit a vocal response from the man. "Well, um, do you have a pen? I sort of didn't think to carry one." She watched as he placed a pen in front of her. "Thanks," she said, rather distantly, and decided to begin filling out the forms. "I got here late," she began as she lowered her voice, speaking to May," so I don't know how full all the classes are. I'd feel better if I could know what I'm taking, so... as long as this doesn't conflict with me schedule... I guess I will take this course. Sociology... might be fun, right?" |

Fun? With release forms? Consent forms? Interesting maybe, but ... May nodded and then looked from Iliyana back to her own set of forms. It was odd. She realised that she'd said next to nothing since arriving in the office but for some reason she didn't feel the almost obsessive compulsion to chatter that usually affected her when she was around people she didn't know well. Maybe that was it. She almost felt she did know the man but that was just silly. Still, she couldn't think of him as Mr. Bortniansky. She definitely didn't know a Mr. Bortniansky. Taking a pen from her waist pouch, she quickly filled out the requested information, barely even skimming the text. What it actually said really didn't matter. Without discussion, without even much thought, it seemed that taking this course was something she had no choice about. Putting the pen down, she looked at the man, a hint of almost desperation in her voice as she spoke. "Are you able to speak or simply choosing not to use that form of communication?" Realising a simple nod from him wouldn't clarify, she continued. "If you nod once, I'll know it's the first and that's fine. If you nod twice, I'll know it's the second and that's okay too. I just ... I just need ..." Almost flustered, she broke off before finishing the sentence, not quite sure why she needed reassurance. |

As the silence continued, May stared deeply into the man's eyes ... it would be so easy to get lost in the pain there. Feeling shame at having tried to force an answer out of him, she nodded once, trying to overcome her need for answers to any question she had. "I ... I'm sorry. It's none of my business." She thought she saw a glint of humour in his eyes but it disappeared so, so very quickly that felt even more awkward for trying to analyse his emotions. Forcing herself to break eye contact, she pushed the registration forms across the desk to him, replacing her pen in her pouch before standing. "Il ... Iliyana, do you want to grab something to eat? There must be somewhere to find something close to the dorms." Even to her own ears, her voice sounded subdued. "Um, sure. I guess so." Looking at Mr. Bortniansky, she carefully placed her forms on top of May's and laid the pen on top. "This sounds like a good course, sir. Thank you for seeing us." As the two walked out of the office, May shivered a little. She so wanted to know more but now didn't seem the right time. Neither dawdled as they made their way back to the dorms exchanging snippets of conversation about absolutely everything other than their visit to his office. "I didn't really get a chance to look around so I'm not sure what's here in terms of restaurants but I'll eat almost anything. In fact, if you don't want to go out, I stashed a care package from home in the dorm kitchenette. We could likely fix up something. It's up to you, Iliyana." |

Iliyana looked down at the ground, feeling her stomach wrench. She hadn't eaten since getting off of the plane, and even then it was only a clove granola bar. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm sort of hungry right now... perhaps we could try the school cafeteria?" She sighed. "I admit I'm not very familiar with the food around here, so it might be good to try it out. We could also meet more people who are in the dorms too." |

"I don't mind at all. I'm not much of a cook." She paused, looking around for signs indicating where the cafeteria might be. "I'm not really familiar with the food either. It's been a long time. Um ... do you know where the cafeteria is? There was probably a map in that package we got but I didn't look at it." |

“Yyyeah,” Iliyana replied as she juggled her folders around in her hands, searching for the campus map. “There. The big red building.” As the two walked down the path, Iliyana spent time taking in all the sights of the Shiro campus. She was a people watcher, and the different types of dress and species did not disappoint. When they reached the cafeteria, the rush of hot air from the sheer amount of bodies in the room teemed with hundreds of conversations that were drowned out in a sea of static. Her ears twitched from the loud noises, and she quickly filed in line to get her food: pizza. But this wasn’t like the pizza at home – no spices, too much cheese, the bread was… stale, at best. But it was food just the same. When she paid for her meal, she gazed out at the crowds around her, overwhelmed by the masses. Was it going to be this crowded all the time? She waited for May and made sure her dress didn’t get caught on anything as she made her way down the aisles, searching for a seat. It appeared luck was not with them today, until she spotted two open seats at a table close to the wall. Not wanting to spend more time awkwardly standing in front of gobs of people, she worked her way over to the table. There sat three humans: one quite tall and with broad shoulders, another with a strong build and brown hair, and still another wearing a black and white uniform, the gloves probably getting stained from the greasy fries, no doubt. She was intrigued by the outfit, but decided to ask later, if they let her sit down. Though, judging from the surroundings, it was either here or eat standing. “Hello, um…” she paused when they looked at her. “May we sit here?” |

"Yea," Declan answered in agreement. "No offense but I am glad I haven't had to experience war in my life. Just the occasional armed angry drill worker." He said laughing. Declan took one of the cones from Sonny and thanked him, maybe he had been a little too mean to the guy, he was paying for lunch after all so he couldn't be all bad. The sudden approach of the vulpine and human caught Declan off guard. He didn't recognize the vulpine but he did remember the woman with the long black hair. "May her name was?" He couldn't remember but he would stick with that for now. “May we sit here?” The vulpine asked. Declan sighed subtly at her question but decided not to make a scene about it, it would only be for a little bit. "Uh, I'm ok with it I guess, I'll leave it up to these two." He said smiling at the two. |

Unfolding his arms and rocking his chair back onto four legs, Aristes shrugged as he looked to the two new comers while sitting up in his chair, "why not. This day hasn't been crazy enough." Finishing his conversation, he looked to Declan briefly, "and I hope you never have to. It....you won't come back the same," he left the conversation there, not wanting to expand on the topic in front of their current company. Picking up another fry with his white gloved hand, he looked to the vulpine and suppressed the urge to eye her suspiciously. But when she did not immediately resent his presence, he shrugged it off and moved his chair over slightly to allow them more room to comfortably sit at the table. Noticing a silenced look of confusion on their faces, he laughed to himself, "you guys look like you just saw a ghost. What's with that?" |
