And so, after much anticipation from the students near and far who were accepted into Hope's Peak Academy... the doors of the Half Moon Mansion were opened to the new arrivals on the day of March 14th. From then until March 28th, they'd be a part of various community service works and to create a project to improve the lives of impoverished communities. Not only that, but their families would each receive a cash reward for doing so! It was like a dream- a situation that was so unfathomably good, some wondered whether or not there was more to the deal that they had entered into.
A welcome banner had been placed above the mansion's imposing doors, lightening the mood. "WELCOME NEW STUDENTS!" The banner was decorated with childishly-drawn flowers and stars, making the intimidating building so much less so. All that was left was to enter into the lobby and wait for a greeting, right? The orientation was supposed to start at 7:30 AM, and it was nearing that time now.

The time was now... Together they rode, him, his older brother, mother and father. They had left him a few blocks down from the great manse, so he had some time to think upon his actions before he'd be entering. Did he have everything? He had checked at the very least a million times, yet even now he spent a good moment researching trough his baggage. His sword, Bahmut, was there. His six, twelve and twenty sided dices were there. He had his map of both Japan, USA, Finland, UK, and the magical land of Yggdrasil with him. Some bottles of water in case of emergencies, beef jerky. Everything was ready for him as he stopped at the front of the entrance, taking a deep breath. The welcome banner did lighten up the mood of the place, although he just frowned at it. A bit tacky, nay? It ruined the whole mood.
He looked to his wristwatch. 7:00 AM. He should take that off, even when he wasn't on duty anymore. A first impression was everything in a place like this. So he quickly took it off and threw it to the bottom off his duffle bag. He drew out Bahmut and placed it upon it's rightful sheath, took another deep breath and walked trough the doors into the entrance hall.
Marbley white. He was not sure if it was actual marble or just something resembling it, yet the hall emitted a ghostly beauty he had never seen before in his life. Almost too beautiful to be true, even, and he did spend a little time touching the walls. It all seemed to be perfect, and he was the first one here? He did not see anyone else at the very least. He shrugged his shoulders and headed to a seat, dropping his bag down and sitting down.

One of the first to arrive was the strapping, young Rin Shirayuki, who quickly made his way inside to look around. A few minutes early- that was always a good sign. No one seemed to be around, but he thought he could hear something stirring in rooms nearby. Their greeters were probably getting something special together- oh, how he wanted to be a part of those preparations, too! The hype was setting in as he tried to stop from tapping his foot in mild anticipation. Could he now call himself a student at Kibougamine? Hope's Peak? The greatest school in the entire country, both easily affordable and highly successful if you could simply make it in?
"Th-thank goodness..." he said softly. The thought alone could make him misty-eyed. Hope's Peak was beautiful... and now that he looked around, so was this Half-Moon Mansion! The foyer was perfectly symmetrical, and quiet enough that you could hear a pin drop!

Paris stood at the front of the Manor, entranced by the size of the building. Her heart pounded loudly in her throat, and she could already feel the sharp needles of a headache coming on. She was terrified, but...this had to be the Half-Moon Mansion. She reached into her hoodie pocket and quickly unraveled the crumpled, smudged paper her father had given her. She had twisted, and crunched, and rubbed the paper the whole way there, and now the words were barely recognizable. But she had read it over a million times, and she knew the "Be good! We love you! Make friends!" was still there. She repeated the motto under her breath thirteen times, and then she quickly opened the door and walked inside.
Her eyes caught the few other students that arrived, and she smiled anxiously. The paper returned to her pocket. The Foyer was impressive, she had to admit. She'd visited some palaces in her travels, but this rivaled even those. She thought back to her small, noise-surrounded apartment back home. She finally felt her shoulders relax, and she looked around the room slowly. She knew there were going to be issues ahead, including the possibility of a washing machine she would have to face. That didn't matter. Things were going to be just fine from now on. She quickly took a seat near the boy with blue hair, making sure to put a seat between them. She smiled at him quickly and looked away, insteading focusing on the sheen of the marble floor.

Hitoshi was used to arriving a little later than most, so it was surprising when he arrived at 7:20am. The yawn he gave was that of surprise and genuine sleepiness when he glanced at his watch while he stood outside. Long travel times had always made him sleepy, especially when he had to get up ridiculously early (In his opinion) to even make the coach in time. From the outside of the building, he was pretty taken-a-back. He couldn't believe he would be staying in such a place, it looked like a palace from a grand TV show, yet this was beautifully real. After gulping his slight nerves and excitement, he pushed open the door into the foyer.
Stepping inside, the place only felt even more like a dream than it had done previously. It seemed like part of a fantasy, glittering and beautiful. He fiddled with his bag strap a bit out of nerves before looking directly at the banner. Despite it's slightly childish nature, he gave a fond smile, it made the place seem a little less daunting at least, bringing an air of nostalgia of joining middle school or some after school club. 7:25, not much longer until the orientation, so he decided to look around at the people who were here, who he'd be working with for the next few days. That uneasy feeling of excitement and anxiety overwhelmed him, but he knew whatever happened would be worth the good they'd be doing...Though it did seem a little too perfect.

"So this is Hope's Peak Academy, huh?" Daniel quietly said to himself as he stood before the entrance. The "WELCOME NEW STUDENTS" banner made him feel fuzzy inside and he smiled to himself. Breathing in and out to prepare himself, he slowly stepped in as he took in the environment.
Inside the building, he started to feel as if he was in a place designed for divine beings. He knew he should feel proud, but instead, he felt intimidated. Adjusting his glasses, he stood in place for around one or two minutes so that he could regain his composure and finally be himself. He wasn't sure if he was still on time, but he saw several people already sitting around and biding their time.
"These must be my classmates, then." The Procrastinator thought as he walked towards an empty table, waiting for potentially more people. "I'll introduce myself to them later. Preferably when everyone's here."

Noticing the girl beside him quivering a little, Rin looked over to Paris with a concerned glance. "Miss, are you all right...? You seem to be nervous. Is there anything I may do to help?"
Paris was being greeted by a rather tall young man of 5'7", who was looking alert and attentive. Despite that, he gave off an air of parental compassion rather than intimidation.
That lead him to look over to Ishin. Sword guy. He had read about an Ultimate LARPer on the school website, and he admitted that he assumed this guy would be taking his job seriously... but that sword looked real. Very much real. He made a mental note to be especially nice to such a person.

As the remaining students stepped inside, Minako gave a friendly grin. It was nice to see so many bright faces, and while a few were filled with trepidation... none seemed particularly threatening. She stood off at a corner of the room, drinking water from a miniature bottle.
"Hello~." she greeted the other students in a soft tone. She wondered if she should begin a sketch... such a moment of new and intense feelings would surely make for a lovely picture! But, that would require the man with the sword and the glasses-wearing child to move slightly left... the butler was surprisingly photogenic, though.

Amelia rushed up to the mansion a little earlier than the time requested. Her heart was racing a thousand times a minute- or at least that's what she would consider it with her over zealous attitude. This place was completely different from what she was used to back at her quiet home in Ohio. It sparkled in her eyes. Each shimmer on the floor grabbed her attention. Each decoration on the chandelier stole her eye. For a moment she almost forgot to breathe. She took a deep breath to compensate for that moment of forgetfulness. The pilot was giddy with excitement, she couldn't help but touch everything that wasn't a human. She's been to many places around the world, but this had a completely different atmosphere to it. And that atmosphere excited her.
She looked at the students around her an had a small leap for joy. Each one of these others were amazing at something specific. And together they were going to change something about the world. Amelia wanted nothing more than for the world to be a more peaceful place, and seeing all of these mostly tired faces, she couldn't help but smile her brightest. Having this much energy so early in the morning shouldn't be allowed. She was so giddy, she started to get hot. She took off her jacket and flung it over her shoulder. She looked at the other students and couldn't help but give each of them this smile that simply could not be contained.

How someone could be so active so early was beyond him, but the atmosphere Amelia Smith gave off made him smile slightly. It was almost contagious, looking around everyone else seemed pretty calm so of course she stood out a bit from the rest of the students. He yawned himself and looked down once more, briefly to make sure he was indeed standing in such a brilliant place. It was then he decided to go up to Amelia, giving a slight wave in greeting with a tired smile. He wasn't attempting much for a great first impression, as one could tell with his slightly messy bed head, but still decided it was good enough to meet a fellow student. "Hey there, You seem pretty lively" That was his greeting, a nod as he spoke. Perhaps his childish face put it off seeming flirtatious in any way, his voice friendly and rather quiet. He gave a small chuckle at her pure excitement and great atmosphere she gave off.

"Whoa-ho-ho!"
Hushed as it was, the echo of Junichi Kichise's voice caused a slight disturbance in the peace of mingling pupils. The young teenager grinned sheepishly when he heard how loud he was in comparison to everyone else, touching the brim of his panama hat in apology as he sidled inside, a low whistle dead behind his lips. Now, whilst he didn't know much about architecture, he could still appreciate the design work that was put into the castle. Here his eyes briefly scanned the other student, estimating the total and how the room probably wouldn't be filled even if they had an entire academy attending the meetings.
'I wonder if we've got a Super High School Level Interior Designer?'
As an afterthought, Jun leaned back out of the door and glanced up at the puerile banner -- that streamer was pretty cute!
From his new vantage point, the brunet considered who he should first introduce himself to; he was instantly drawn to Amelia's energy, but, seeing her occupied, decided to approach someone who wasn't busy.
'The blonde one seems friendly!'

Paris looked up at Rin, and shrunk back a bit. "A-ah, hello...who are you? M-my name's Paris.." She smiled at him, but she was already breaking out in a cold sweat. She looked over to Amelia, took a deep breath, and sighed. She knew she had to just let go. So once again, she forced her shoulders to relax, and she laughed. "Sorry about that...Nice to meet you."
She looked around at the other students briefly, and felt her anxiety dissipate a little bit. They were all as nervous as she was.

Seeing this boy, Amelia faced him, keeping that bright smile. She placed her hands on her hips and stood with pride. She could tell Hitoshi Tottori was tired from the moment he walked in, but that didn’t stop her from acting so lively. Her voice was a bit louder than an indoor voice, but that’s another thing that she both could not and would not control.
“Of course I am! Look at this place~!” She hugged her jacket close to her chest, her eyes still bewildered by this beautiful decor. “Who wouldn’t be completely enthused by this, dude?” She says the word dude in her heavy American accent and language (since the two are most likely speaking Japanese together due to the location of the actual school). “I mean, I guess if you’re not a morning person, it’s probably not as amazing because you probably still have crust in your eyes~” Her tone was teasing, and remained friendly. She may have just met this boy, but she still treated him no different than someone she may have known for a while.

Gonna be late, gonna be late! Sakura dashes into the foyer to find quite a few students already inside. She’d been running late all morning because of the last minute hugs and pictures her parents insisted on and then, when she thought she might actually make it in before it was too close to orientation starting, she faceplanted the moment she stepped out of the car. Noticing an empty seat at the end of a mostly full table, Sakura plops down to catch her breath, admiring the majesty of the mansion. It’s like something out of a fairy tale! The other students all seem to be doing their own thing, so Sakura contents herself with looking around at all of them. That guy has a sword?! So cool!
Sakura has a good feeling about this place. Things are definitely going to be interesting at the peace conference.
