Character
: Siber Antares, Dietrich Eisenfaust
Location
: the Spellbreakers' Quarter
Siber and the rest of the Spellbreakers followed Eisenfaust out of the Hall. It was not long before they reached another circular room, much smaller than the Hall and with three more doors leading out of it - one further to the north-west, one to the north-east and one to the south-west.
Contrary to Siber's expectations, aside from the banners with the fist hanging here and there, there were few red and black decorations. The place looked functional and rather cozy, if ascetic - but then again, for someone like Siber who has lived practically all of his life on a farm, this still looked like a step up.
An area in the center of the room was enclosed in a latticework wall, the floor there reminiscent of the Hall of Two Paths. Unless Siber failed to see its deeper purpose, more likely than not it was a sparring ring. And indeed, just as the boy began to wonder how exactly were they supposed to spar after their weapons were confiscated, Dietrich began speaking.
"Once you have gotten your hands on your training weapons, feel free to practice inside the sparring ring. I wouldn't recommend doing it out of it - it is not exactly forbidden, but any damage you cause to your surroundings will be your mess to clean up."
'
Makes sense, I suppose,
' Siber thought, looking around. He could not see a single piece of the circular chamber's wall behind the numerous bookcases, though upon further inspection it seemed that most of the books were present in ten or more copies. Between the walls and the sparring ring chairs, tables and sofas were scattered, providing ample space for the entirety of the sub-course to sit; some were distinctly distanced from the rest, thus creating a possibility of some sort of solitude.
"I suspect you'll be spending your free time here, short though it may be," Eisenfaust continued.
"The door to the north-east leads to female sleeping quarters, the one to the south-west to male sleeping quarters, the one to the north-west to the mess hall which is also accessible from your barracks. Each sleeping quarter is equipped with a communal bathroom and showers, as well as a facility to clean your uniform and, if need be, repair it - note that it will be performed by hand, with no application of magic.
You shall retreat to sleep at ten in the evening, and wake up at six in the morning. You have fifteen minutes to attend to hygiene, clean your bed and put on your uniforms. The entire unit will be punished for failure, regardless of who exactly is to blame for being too slow. After that, your day may properly begin.
I shall disappoint you from the start. No matter how skillful you consider yourself to be, the first several weeks will consist solely out of instilling discipline into you and honing your body. Find solace in the fact that you can always quit if you find yourself too weak.
Any questions?"
Character
: Androw Kavendish, Varathrien Malaghast
Location
: the Battle Mages' Quarter
The north-eastern tier was a reflection of the Spellbreakers' Quarter, organized in a similar manner. Likewise, the lecture Varathrien gave to the Battle Mages was quite similar to Dietrich's, only deviating in the end.
"Those of you that think that starting from tomorrow you'll be slinging fireballs around, tough luck. Though you have to be exceptionally naive and optimistic, in other words dim-witted, to still hold onto that hope after listening to Master Meszaros," the elf explained.
"That said, there is one exercise that I advise you perform, but more on that after I've answered your questions. You have some, yes?"
Character
: Joaquin Santiago, Eryan Arnell
Location
: Mage Tower
Joaquin put his guitar aside.
"Looks like it's you and me left, o mighty Copying Mage!" he called to Tristan's back. "Ready to move outta here?"
"Did I hear that right, someone said wine?" Eryan poked his head out of the bedroom doorway. He sniffed apprehensively and a smile lit up his face, "Smells nice, even from here. That must be some strong stuff."

Raegar raised his hand, saying: "Sir, in the mornings, after doing our basic stuff, should we remain in the common room or head where?"

Callyx followed Arthur, casually flashing the key to the statue. Time to see if it the gambit had paid off or not.

"Actually, you will stand next to your bed, waiting for me to assure that your uniform is in order and your bed is properly made. I will show you once how it's done, so better pay attention.
And yes, I can be in two places at once."

"Sire, I have a question, what part does the taskmaster have in our training? I assume you will be giving us training in arcane and melee. Considering that spellbreaking is not that similar to battle magic to give us classes together...What role does he have?"

"Perhaps you can spare me some of that wine, as good as dalaran wine is, it can never compare te elven." Eldoroth said from the couch near the fireplace.

"In these several first weeks, you'll be seeing a lot more of him than me," Varathrien said cheerfully. "Together with the breakers you'll go through physical training, as well as lessons in first aid and unarmed combat. On that note, you haven't yet met our the weaponmaster, who will, as you might have guessed from the job description, train you in the usage of weapons. To me falls the rest - arcane training and overseeing your general activities."

Vera slowly ran her fingers across the cats back. "Good kitty," she smiled.
The statue, still in a huff, glanced at Callyx's key, saying nothing condemning.
Arthur pushed his way through the filmy barrier and mounted he stairs, entering the common room to the sight of various other boys passing around some wine.
The golem smiled approvingly. "Hello there my dear."

"Very good. Just a moment." The beam came forth, read the key, and retracted after a moment. With a smile of stone the door opened. "Please, come in."

Grintham gave Varathrien an incredulous look at the mention of a

bathroom and showers...
As for the rest, well, it was barely passable, he supposed.

Kai'tai kept her face blank as she listened to what the teacher said; the idea of bathing with males wasn't that much of a change from her own time growing up, and as long as she had a bed to sleep in, she would be fine.

Josh followed a few minutes afterwards. He entered his room and locked the door. However, light shone from the crack under it, implying that sleep was the last thing on his mind.

Veraldine, Arthur, Miss Skivvers
Location:
Mage Tower, Dorm
Vera yawned and stretched. Looking at the water clock which slowly ticked the hours away above the mantle, she blinked as she read the time.
"Well," she declared, hoisting herself off the couch. "It's get-ting late. I'm gonna turn in. Night everyone!" With a final wave she moved back into the hall. Finishing her toiletries in a short time, she emerged clad in some silk pajamas and crawled into her thoroughly messed bed with a contented giggle.
Though Arthur deposited his bags and laid claim over one of the more out of the way beds, he did not go to sleep. Instead, he meandered into the study area, the book he had never finished reading tucked beneath his arm in obvious purpose.
The inside of the study room was by now empty. From their resting place in sconces along the walls, small glass orbs rose into the air, casting a pale blue glow across the tables and bookcases as they hovered blissfully in place. Arthur raised a brow at the display, but did nothing else save slide into one of the supplied chairs, diving into his book with focused intent.
Character:
Leo Prometheus
Location:
Techno Dorm
"I claim this bed in the name of Leo!" the young inventor cried before flinging himself upon the sheets. Wrestling with his cloth foe for a woefully short time, his head emerged from the collected barrier of linen and laid itself upon the pillows of leadership. "The bed has been liberated. Hail your (yawn)...king..." Leo murmured before closing his eyes, and lapsing into sleep.

The Girls' Dormitory, Mage Tower
Standard Magic
Kazhra eyed the beds in the dormitory, selecting one off to the side. The orc shoved her belongings underneath it - not that they were anything spectacular in the first place or at least, that was how they appeared - alongside an assortment of rather crude, but effective, concealed deterrents, in case of any would-be thieves.
With that done the orc went and got changed out of her dark blue robes into equally plain, but several times more inexpensive, cloth pyjamas.

Character:
Kaestan Redstar, Meeba Miniblaze & Violet Clark
Location:
Mage Tower Cafe
School:
Standard Magic
Meeba had meandered about, exploring the various areas of the dormitory before heading to bed. Amos curled up beside her, worn out from the day.
Violet hadn't worked up the courage to play her mandolin and after a few hours of sitting quietly by the fire she retired to bed.
Kaestan and the others had finished off the first bottle of wine rather quickly and had stayed up late chatting about the day. Finally after his head was appropriately fuzzy the elf bid the others goodnight and crawled into his bed, falling asleep in nothing but his underclothes.
