Arrival

There is a flash of light and a man with three blue wings suddenly appears on the campus lawn. Normally he prepares his arrivals to be rather flashy and dramatic, but he ... really hadn’t planned on this arrival at all. He had been minding his own business at the Dark Depths when all of a sudden he was here. And where was here, exactly?

He starts walking, looking for someone to help him understand what on earth just happened.

Main Lobby

Looking over the welcome pamphlet leaves him very confused. Those seen as villains go to something called the Isle of the Lost and those seen as heroes are sent here?

“You there.” Yes, he means you. Whoever you are. “Is this magic that sends people to these places always accurate on where it places them?”

How could it possibly have sent him here? He’s not a hero. Not anymore.

Dorm

He eyes the room warily. The blue he’s fine with. The plaid ... not so much. But of course he can’t be picky, and he won’t be.

He goes in with a sigh, examines the room, and lays down on one of the beds, all three wings hanging off of the mattresses’ edges. That will certainly be an unusual sight for anyone passing by the open doorway.

Will he have the room to himself, he wonders, or does someone else have the other bed in the room?

Comments

“Thankfully there are plenty of other rooms that haven’t been taken by previous students or the other people living in this campus. There is one not far from here that you might be interested,” Harry tells him.

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods in gratitude. "That would be preferable. Thank you."

[phoenixwiz]

“Right this way,” he takes him to an unmarked door a few steps away from the marked door they had visited.

Plain, unadorned with any marks to indicated that somebody had been staying in there.

“I just want you to have a heads up, many of these rooms look like they have been occupied for some time before the events leading to our arrival happened. You might see some things like clothes in wardrobes and video game consoles just to name a few.”

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nodded. "I see." He went inside and started checking in the drawers and behind the closet door in case this room featured such signs of being lived-in despite the lack of nameplate. "Well, let's just hope no one shows up to claim this room. If it was theirs and now isn't through no fault of their own, they would be entitled to it upon their return."

[phoenixwiz]

“I thought so as well. I also noticed that my room had been empty of its occupants for some time when I first arrived here. Found some stuff in the side table drawers and the wardrobe and on the desk, but I have no idea as to who may have owned it,” Harry nods in agreement.

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth finishes his search. “My room seems to be devoid of others’ belongings,” he says. That is certainly preferable. “Have you been here long?”

[phoenixwiz]

“I’ve been here since last year, so it is a bit of a long time though it is not too long enough,” Harry admits to him.

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods slowly. "Have you seen a lot of people being brought from their worlds during that time?" He wonders just how many are here and have been here. There are so many vacant rooms still.

[phoenixwiz]

“Aside from people being brought over from the Isle, I have seen at least one other person who had arrived in here so far,” Harry tells him, “Even still we have empty and vacant rooms that are not reserved for some of the world’s native folks.”

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth is surprised by that. "In all the time you've been here, only one other ended up here? Do most start on the Isle?" That makes him even more stunned that he was sent here.

[phoenixwiz]

“I’m pretty sure that there are other people too but I got so busy lately that I might have missed some more arrivals especially much of the school being mostly empty,” Harry explains, “Perhaps you might encounter some of them while you’re in here.”

“From what I have learned in my time in this world, it seems that the arrivals to Auradon and the Isle tends to be uneven at times. Some folks landed in here while others got stranded in the Isle, but some of the people who got stuck in there did came here when the first boat trip to reach it arrived.”

[3wingedangel]

"Hm. It's good there's plenty to do here," Sephiroth muses.

He tilts his head. "Why would anyone stay there if they have the chance to leave?" It sounds like a terrible place from the pamphlet.

[phoenixwiz]

“Unfortunately as of right now, there is no way for anyone to get in and out of Auradon on their own choice,” Harry sadly replies to Sephiroth’s question, “Just like how this world brings in people, it can take them back to their own worlds without any notice. No way to say goodbye, no chance to pack things: it just happens.”

[3wingedangel]

"I mean the Isle," Sephiroth says. "You said only some of them came here when they had the chance. Why didn't they all come? Stranded or not, it's surely better here than there."
